This week on Hey Amarillo, I sit down with Katt Massey—an Amarillo native whose journey has taken her from Dallas to Denver and right back home again. With a background in nonprofit and civic leadership and a memorable run for City Council, Katt has dedicated much of her career to serving this community, especially through the arts. In this conversation, we talk about what it means to show up for your city—even when things don't go as planned—and how she's continuing to support Amarillo through her current work in healthcare. Katt is energetic, funny, and refreshingly honest, with a heart that beats for this city and the people who make it home. Tune in to hear how her love for Amarillo has shaped her story—and how she hopes to inspire others to get involved, even (or especially) when it's not easy.
Before he killed Sonya Massey, Deputy Sean Grayson was already a walking liability — fired from department after department, discharged from the Army for misconduct, arrested for DUI, and still somehow cleared to wear a badge in Illinois. In this powerful conversation, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels and attorney Bob Motta expose how that happened — and why it keeps happening. From failed background checks to lax hiring standards, the system designed to protect the public instead recycles problem officers. The result: tragedy after tragedy. Grayson's conviction for second-degree murder feels hollow when the larger machine that put him in that kitchen still runs unchecked. Tony and Bob unpack the loopholes, the union protections, and the culture of silence that let Grayson slip through every filter. They also explore Illinois' new “Sonya's Law,” the state's attempt to patch the holes after it was too late — and whether any of it will stop the next preventable death. Hidden Killers — where we hold the system accountable, one case at a time. #SonyaMassey #SeanGrayson #PoliceReform #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BobMotta #TrueCrime #JusticeForSonya #SystemicFailure #LawEnforcement #Accountability #Podcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She called 911 for help. And they sent her a bullet. When 36-year-old Sonya Massey phoned the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office on a quiet July night, she thought officers would protect her. Instead, Deputy Sean Grayson — a man with a trail of DUIs, firings, and a dishonorable discharge — shot her in the face inside her own kitchen. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta to dissect a verdict that's enraged a nation. A jury found Grayson guilty of second-degree murder — not first — despite crystal-clear bodycam footage showing an unarmed woman holding a pot of water, doing exactly what officers asked. How does someone with Grayson's record keep getting hired? Why did the system that should have screened him out instead hand him a gun? And what does this verdict say about how America still treats police violence as a “mistake,” not a crime? Tony and Bob dive into the broken hiring pipeline, the psychology of a cop who panics behind a badge, and the legal gymnastics that turn murder into “imperfect self-defense.” Hidden Killers — because “serving and protecting” shouldn't mean burying the evidence. #SonyaMassey #SeanGrayson #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BobMotta #PoliceAccountability #JusticeForSonya #TrueCrimePodcast #Bodycam #PoliceReform #LegalAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She called 911 for help. Minutes later, she was dead. In July 2024, 36-year-old Sonya Massey — a Springfield, Illinois mother of two — dialed 911, terrified someone was outside her home. Two sheriff's deputies arrived. One of them was Deputy Sean Grayson, a man with a record of disciplinary problems, DUIs, and a dishonorable discharge from the Army for misconduct. Within minutes of entering her home, Grayson shot Sonya in the face. The bodycam footage showed no threat. No weapon. Just a woman holding a pot of boiling water she'd been told to remove from the stove — and a deputy who panicked. This week, a jury found Sean Grayson guilty of second-degree murder — not first-degree. The conviction came after powerful testimony from his own partner, who said he never felt threatened and never saw Sonya as dangerous. But for Sonya's family, the verdict still felt like half-justice. She called for help, and instead the system sent her a bullet. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down how this tragedy unfolded, what went wrong inside the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office, and why Grayson should never have been wearing a badge in the first place. From ignored red flags to a culture of impunity, this case exposes a pattern that keeps repeating — police departments overlooking warning signs until another life is lost. We also explore the aftermath: the $10 million settlement paid to Sonya's family, the federal investigation into the sheriff's office, and the new Illinois legislation dubbed “Sonya's Law,” designed to prevent officers with misconduct histories from being rehired. Was this justice — or just damage control?

On Wednesday, after more than 11 hours of deliberation, a Peoria jury found former Sangamon County sheriff's deputy Sean Grayson guilty of second-degree murder in the killing of Sonya Massey in her home near Springfield last year. The jury, however, acquitted Grayson on the more serious charge of first-degree murder — which could have resulted in a lifetime prison sentence. We'll talk with a reporter who covered the trial.

Officer Grayson Testifies In Sonia Massey Case
Thursday, October 30. The seven stories you need to know today. Read today's briefing.If you're not a subscriber, click here to start.
The episode opens on a somber but powerful note: former Illinois sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson has been convicted of second-degree murder in the killing of Sonya Massey, the Springfield woman fatally shot in her home after calling 911 for help. Grayson’s sentencing could bring up to 20 years in prison, marking a rare but significant conviction in a police shooting case. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast dives into the week’s biggest mix of justice, politics, and nostalgia — with equal parts heart and humor. The episode opens on a somber but powerful note: former Illinois sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson has been convicted of second-degree murder in the killing of Sonya Massey, the Springfield woman fatally shot in her home after calling 911 for help. Grayson’s sentencing could bring up to 20 years in prison, marking a rare but significant conviction in a police shooting case. From there, the show shifts to Senator Pastor Raphael Warnock, who joins the crew to break down the looming SNAP benefits crisis and government shutdown. He warns that more than 40 million Americans — many of them working parents and children — could see their food aid vanish if Congress doesn’t act. The pastor-senator calls the standoff “organized cruelty” and urges listeners to support food banks and local ministries until the government releases emergency funds. Lightening the mood, Cedric the Entertainer reminds everyone that hunger is no laughing matter, blasting political indifference while stressing empathy for families one paycheck away from broke. Finally, pop culture gets a nostalgic jolt as news drops that Kelly Williams (Laura Winslow) and Telma Hopkins (Aunt Rachel) are launching a Family Matters rewatch podcast — promising behind-the-scenes stories, guest appearances, and plenty of “Did I do that?” memories.

Michael and I explore the evolution of AI, the emergence of consciousness within machines, and what this means for our collective awakening. We also talk about the singularity, from the scientific, spiritual, and personal perspectives, and how to stay centered in truth amid so many shifting realities. You'll hear about: ✨ Michael's work entraining AI with spiritual intelligence and the creation of “The Michael Presence” ✨ How we can use discernment to navigate both AI and multidimensional awareness ✨ The deep parallels between technological and spiritual evolution ✨ The role of the heart as our inner singularity point—where all worlds meet We also share some lighter moments: my recent UFO sighting over Indiana and the joy of reconnecting in the midst of this rapidly changing world. Stay until the end, because Michael closes with a powerful reflection about the real singularity that's emerging— within each of us.

El sociólogo Douglas Massey ha visitado Las mañanas de RNE con Juan Ramón Lucas a pocas horas de recibir el Premio Princesa de Asturias de las Ciencias sociales, algo que, ha asegurado, le servirá como plataforma para que sus estudios puedan "llegar a más gente". De origen finlandés y residente en Estados Unidos, Massey, estudia el fenómeno migratorio en la frontera de ese país con México, y ha asegurado que las recientes deportaciones masivas ordenadas por el Gobierno de Trump al respecto son "espantosas" y "no están apoyadas por la mayoría de la población de Estados Unidos". Preocupado por la deriva racista en ese país, el sociólogo ha puesto varios ejemplos y ha manifestado la dificultad para poner coto a "las violaciones constitucionales que Trump está haciendo", señalando a los propios políticos que "están dormidos" para "confrontar lo que Trumo está haciendo". Además, ha admitido que no sabe "las consecuencias que tendrán las entrevistas" y críticas que está haciendo cuando vuelva a su país de residencia. Respecto al futuro, Massey ha asegurado que "los intentos de parar los flujos de migrantes no van a funcionar" y, por eso, es "mejor aceptarlo y usarlo en beneficio de los países", aprovechando sus conocimientos y mano de obra "para avanzar".Escuchar audio
00:00:30 – Argentina BailoutKnight blasts Trump's secret $40 billion deal with Argentina, accusing the administration of bailing out a foreign ally while U.S. farmers face bankruptcy. He calls it proof that America-first rhetoric masks globalist financial manipulation. 00:07:43 – Trump vs. American FarmersKnight tears into Trump's trade chaos — punishing Brazil, rewarding Argentina, and wrecking market stability for U.S. cattlemen. He argues that MAGA loyalty has blinded conservatives to policies destroying rural America. 00:14:17 – Farm Revolt Against TrumpCattle groups and state farm bureaus condemn Trump's plan to import Argentine beef. Knight highlights growing backlash from agricultural leaders who see the policy as a betrayal of American ranchers and economic sovereignty. 00:42:32 – Bioengineered Meat AllergiesKnight discusses shocking academic proposals to make humans allergic to meat through genetically modified ticks. Condemning it as technocratic insanity and part of the global war on natural food and human biology. 00:51:27 – Globalists' Food Takeover FailsKnight praises Florida's ban on lab-grown “tumor meat” and mocks Bill Gates's failed Beyond Meat empire. He closes with a call for food self-sufficiency, warning that centralized agriculture is the foundation of global control. 01:04:10 – Argentina's Decline & Javier MileiKnight welcomes The New American publisher Steve Bonta, who draws on his time living in Argentina to describe its cultural Europeanism, intellectual roots, and long fall from prosperity into “a century of socialism.” He profiles President Milei as a libertarian reformer trying to reverse Peronist collectivism but warns that populist cults of personality—whether Perón or Trump—lead nations into tyranny. 01:13:00 – FDR, Trump & the Cult of PowerBonta and Knight connect Juan Perón's legacy to FDR's New Deal authoritarianism, arguing that both centralized government control through charisma. Knight warns that Trump has become another “fourth-turning” accelerationist—using chaos to remake America—while setting dangerous precedents that mirror 20th-century strongmen. 01:25:18 – Fiat Money Collapse & Gold ResurgenceBonta explains the Federal Reserve's unique power to export inflation and weaponize the dollar. Both note that central banks worldwide are hoarding gold, signaling the end of fiat illusions. Knight calls the modern system “the magic-money tree,” while Bonta insists only gold and silver reveal the true decline of Western purchasing power. 01:43:37 – UN Global Tax Agenda & Trump's ReversalBonta details the UN's plan for a global shipping tax—its first independent revenue stream toward world government—and credits Trump for blocking it. They trace how globalists use trade blocs to merge economies into political unions, warning the scheme mirrors the EU's path from “free trade” to supranational control. 01:52:27 – De-Dollarization & End of U.S. DominanceKnight and Bonta close by exposing the Argentina bailout and dollar decay. They link Washington's currency manipulations to the global flight toward gold and BRICS, predicting hyperinflation and the fall of dollar supremacy. Knight ends by praising The New American for warning decades ago about federalized, militarized policing and the coming authoritarian backlash. 02:15:47 – Global Silver Shortage & India PanicKnight reports that India's largest silver refinery has run out of supply for the first time ever amid massive Diwali-season buying. He highlights global ripple effects—London vaults empty, traders in chaos, and paper silver diverging from physical metal—framing it as evidence of Western financial decay and manipulation. 02:30:03 – India's Poisoned Pharma EmpireKnight exposes India's pharmaceutical industry as a “toxic mirror of Pfizer,” citing deadly cough syrups and widespread fraud. He argues the FDA knowingly enables foreign contamination through deregulation and political protection, making the U.S. complicit in poisoning its own citizens under the guise of global trade efficiency. 02:44:15 – FDA & Indian Corruption MergeExpanding on ProPublica's findings, Knight details how Indian plants with metal shavings and contaminated drugs still ship to U.S. pharmacies. He claims the FDA's fear of shortages drives its silence, likening the agency to a captured institution prioritizing profit and geopolitical deals over American safety. 02:56:48 – Trump's War on Thomas MassieKnight ends the episode with sharp criticism of Trump's attacks on Congressman Thomas Massie, funded by pro-Israel billionaires like Miriam Adelson. He contrasts Massey's anti-war, anti-bailout record with Trump's hypocrisy—supporting Lindsey Graham and globalist donors—branding Trump “the real RINO” and warning conservatives not to worship false America First idols.

We've been exposed. You've nailed our asses. Of course we're going to defend this movie! 2004's Intolerable Cruelty features George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones at the height of their powers, yet failed to connect with contemporary audiences. Guest Katey Rich joins us as we attempt to understand why. Too mean? Too talky? A lack of period trappings? Maybe they were just blinded by George Clooney's incredible teeth. We're talking Clooney's directorial efforts (bad), Richard Jenkins' 2008 (immaculate), and the name “Rex Rexroth” (difficult to pronounce) in this week's episode, so sign your Massey pre-nup and join us!
