Ralph welcomes Timothy Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) to speak about how federal workers across all government agencies are being unfairly denigrated and summarily fired by the Trump Administration to clear the way for corporate corruption. Plus, we are joined by Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief of “Corporate Knights” magazine to talk about the benefits of the cooperative business model over the corporate shareholder model.Timothy Whitehouse is executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Prior to joining PEER, he was a senior attorney at the Environmental Protection Agency and was head of the Law and Policy Program at the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal.The time to stigmatize federal workers is over. It's time to start rallying for unions for federal workers and what they do, and to support the idea that government plays an important role and that government (the civil service) must be as non-political as possible. Our country will be much better for it.Timothy WhitehouseThat's a good way to describe it: supersonic. We knew things were going to be really bad, but they are much worse than bad because there's no check and no balance on this President's madness. And some of the people and institutions we had hoped would stand up a little bit are collapsing one by one.Timothy WhitehouseOur foreign enemies could not have devised a better way to grind our system to a halt, and that's what's happening.Timothy WhitehouseToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.” Toby has been published in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Globe and Mail, and is a regular guest speaker on CBC.I think in the co-op movement, the biggest bugaboo holding it back (in North America, that is) is people's perception that it's not a significant force. And it is already a significant force. In many cases, we're not familiar that the company might be a co-op (such as Associated Press or Ocean Spray) but in the United States alone, the turnover of co-op enterprises sales in 2023 was $324 billion US. And so, it's a significant part of the economy already.Toby HeapsI can't underline enough that if you care about a sustainable economy that works for people and planet, that the operating model is not just the clean economy (the environmentally friendly economy), it's the cooperatively-run economy.Toby HeapsThe principal obstacle to co-ops is the inadequate engagement of consumers to know about the huge benefits— to control the local economy from multinational corporations (absentee), who are pulling strings in ways that are very damaging, and basically to assume the purchasing power of the consumer.Ralph NaderNews 9/12/2025* Several major stories surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case have emerged in the past week. First, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a note written by President Trump to Epstein included in the latter's “birthday book” from 2003. In this note, Trump refers to Epstein as his “pal” and writes “May every day be another wonderful secret," according to Reuters. Trump has denied that this letter even existed, going so far as to sue the Wall Street Journal for defamation over their reporting in July. Trump continues to deny that he wrote the letter, though his signature is a perfect match, and he has sought to tamp down the matter, calling it a “dead issue,” per NBC.* In Congress, Republican allies of Donald Trump are seeking to quash the Epstein issue as well. On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Rules Committee “shot down a bid to put the Epstein Files Transparency Act—which would compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein—to a floor vote,” in an 8–4 party-line vote, the New Republic reports. However, despite this setback, dissident Republican Thomas Massie continues to press the issue. Speaking about the birthday note, Massie said “It's…indicative of the things that might come out if we were to release all of the files…embarrassing, but not indictable. And I don't think avoiding embarrassment is a reason to avoid justice,” per CNN. Massie added in an interview on ABC that "I think it's going to be embarrassing to some of the billionaires, some of the donors who are politically connected to [Trump's] campaign. There are probably intelligence ties to our CIA and maybe to other foreign intelligence." Democrat Ro Khanna insisted in this same interview that he and his allies, including Massie, will be able to pull together a House majority of 218 members to force a vote on releasing the files.* Our final Epstein story for the week concerns James O'Keefe. Former leader of Project Veritas, O'Keefe continues to carry out far-right hidden-camera sting operations. In a rare move targeting conservatives, O'Keefe engineered a date between Joseph Schnitt, a deputy chief of staff at the Office of Enforcement Operations at DOJ, and an operative in his employ wherein Schnitt admitted that the Trump administration will “redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people.” In this video, Schnitt also implies that Epstein's lieutenant, Ghislaine Maxwell was relocated to a lower security prison to “keep her mouth shut,” as part of a deal with the government. This according to the Hill. One should certainly take revelations from O'Keefe with a heavy dose of salt, but these troubling comments should also raise suspicions about the government's possible plans to manipulate information related to this case for political ends.* Aside from the Epstein affair, the Trump administration continues to issue destructive policy directives in all directions. AP reports the federal Department of Transportation has scrapped a Biden-era rule that required airlines to “compensate stranded passengers with cash, lodging and meals for flight cancellations or changes caused by a carrier.” This rule, which sought “compensation starting at $200…[and] as high as $775…for delays of nine hours or more,” was consistent with European aviation consumer protections. Unsurprisingly, airlines – represented by lobbyists in the employ of the industry trade group Airlines for America – bitterly resisted the rule and celebrated the administration's abandonment of this basic consumer protection. The Biden Transportation Department had also been weighing rules that would have required airlines to provide, “free rebooking on the next available flight, including flights on rival airlines, as well as meals and lodging when passengers are stranded overnight.”* At the same time, the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission is abandoning its rules banning noncompete clauses for employees. An eye-popping 1 in 5 workers are bound by noncompetes, approximately 30 million Americans, and experts estimated that banning such clauses could boost wages to the tune of nearly $300 billion per year and help create 8,500 new businesses, per NPR. The FTC voted 3-1 to vacate its defense of the rule, with Chair Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, both Republicans, issuing a joint statement. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the lone remaining Democrat on the commission after Trump purged the FTC earlier this year, voted no.* Turning to foreign affairs, the Guardian reports two ships in the Gaza aid flotilla have been struck by drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. The first struck the Family Boat, which carries activist Greta Thunberg, though she was not on board at the time. The second struck the Alma, a ship bearing British flags while docked in the port of Sidi Bou Said. In a video, one can see, “a luminous object hitting the boat and fire erupting on board.” Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, is quoted saying, ‘‘Authoritative sources suggest the attack involved an incendiary grenade, wrapped in plastic materials soaked in fuel, which may have ignited before even hitting the vessel.” These attacks come amidst a renewed Israeli bombing campaign against its neighbors, including bombing the Qatari capital of Doha and the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Trump says he is “very unhappy” about the strikes; Israel's ambassador to the United States however says the world will “get over it.” This from Al Jazeera.* Meanwhile, Drop Site is out with yet another bombshell report, this time on Israel's propaganda push to cover up the scale of the hunger crisis in Gaza. According to this report, the Netanyahu government signed a previously unreported $45 million deal with Google to push false propaganda through the massive platform. One video, viewed more than 6 million times, asserts “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” Israel also reportedly paid $3 million for an ad campaign on X, formerly Twitter, and another $2 million on a French platform called Outbrain. This report also cites other examples of Israeli propaganda campaigns in recent years, including against UNRWA and regarding the illegal strikes in Iran.* In more positive news, the pro-Palestine campaign in Hollywood continues to grow. This week, Variety reports a group of over 3,900 filmmakers, actors and other industry professionals signed a new pledge to boycott working with “Israeli film institutions and companies that are ‘implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.'” This group includes many household names, such as Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Jonathan Glazer, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Boots Riley, Ayo Edebiri, and many, many more. The list continues to grow as this pledge circulates. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this campaign is led by Film Workers for Palestine, which explicitly modeled their strategy after Filmmakers United Against Apartheid. That group, founded by eminent filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, demanded that the film industry refuse distribution in apartheid South Africa.* Beyond Israel/Palestine, events are rocking Nepal, the small Himalayan nation that lies between India and China. The BBC reports “Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled into arson and violence on Tuesday. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings torched and parliament set ablaze. Twenty-nine people have died since Monday.” The "Gen Z" youth groups leading the protests have distanced themselves from these acts of destruction, claiming their movement was "hijacked" by "opportunists". Nepal's military has been deployed in the capital of Kathmandu in an attempt to restore order and enforce a curfew. The government of Nepal, led by now-ousted Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, sought to cultivate a closer relationship with China to offset Nepal's historical dependence on India. For the time being, China seems to be taking a wait and see approach to the situation in Nepal, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian calling for all parties to “properly handle domestic issues and restore social order and national stability as soon as possible,” per the South China Morning Post.* Finally, Democracy Now! reports that in an apparent fit of retaliation, the Trump administration is now threatening to redeport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the American green card holder recently returned from his wrongful deportation to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison. This time, instead of sending him to El Salvador, the government plans to send Garcia to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland. Garcia had previously expressed fear of being deported to Uganda. This move would surely be punitive, capricious and just plain bizarre, but that is hardly a deviation from the course of the Trump administration. We express solidarity with Garcia, who stands practically alone against the juggernaut of the United States' deportation apparatus.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Enough is enough. There ARE real victims and ten of them are traveling to Washington, DC this morning to speak at a press conference at 10:30 am ET. They want to remind the nation that their pain and suffering was NOT a hoax, regardless of what Donald Trump and the Republican leadership are saying. It is estimated that 100 additional survivors will be in attendance. Today we will feature an exclusive interview with Congressman Tom Massie on his decision to go it alone in leadership AGAIN, this time on behalf of the Epstein survivors. His mission is to pass a law, compelling the full release of the Epstein Files and he believes he can do it. For those who scoff at the pursuit of justice, I would remind them that regardless of the outcome it is STILL noble and good to stand up for the truth. Those who do might “lose” in some ways but they will be rewarded with a peace of mind that the corrupt and sinister will NEVER have. Everyone knows that the Epstein scandal is not a Democrat hoax and it’s time to hold Trump, Republicans and Conservative Media accountable for the promises of transparency & justice they have made over the years on behalf of the countless victims. Tom Massie is once again one of the only men standing up and today he is not pulling any punches.

Thomas Massie has been steadily pressing forward with his discharge petition to force a floor vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. As of early September, he was just two Republican signatures short of the 218 needed to succeed. While Massie has managed to secure a handful of Republican allies, including figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert, most of the GOP has resisted. Party leadership and the White House have actively discouraged members from supporting Massie's effort, favoring their own oversight mechanisms to control how and when the Epstein files might be released. This leaves Massie in a precarious spot—close enough to create serious pressure, but still vulnerable to stalling tactics within his own party.At the same time, Democrats have unified around the petition, with every member expected to sign. More importantly, the incoming Democrats from recent special elections have already indicated they will add their signatures as soon as they're sworn in, potentially putting Massie over the top even without additional Republican support. This looming influx of Democratic votes creates a strategic safety net: even if GOP members hold back, the math still leans in Massie's favor. In effect, the new Democratic arrivals could be the deciding factor that pushes the discharge petition across the finish line, ensuring a vote happens despite Republican reluctance.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Incoming Dems could move Thomas Massie's Epstein discharge petition over finish line

The Prop 50 Messaging BlitzProposition 50 is one of the most nakedly strategic plays in this cycle. It exists for one purpose: to eliminate California's independent redistricting board so Democrats can gerrymander five seats back — a direct response to Republicans doing the same in red states. That's the whole game. Strip away the messaging, and it's a power move. The ads hitting the airwaves now make it clear how the campaign is going to run: targeted, segmented, and intensely focused on turnout.Gavin Newsom's out front, naturally. The first ad is just him — classic ego-forward strategy. The second ad is aimed squarely at the Bay Area and Los Angeles liberal base, the same model they used to win his recall election. It's all about maximizing favorable turnout in deep blue pockets. They've run this play before, and they know it works — but back then, they had a longer runway. This time, they're racing the clock.Then there's the third ad. That one's for the independents, and its existence tells you everything. The campaign knows that gutting an independent redistricting board is a tough sell outside the bubble. They say it's temporary. I don't buy that. Nobody gives up control once they get it — not in politics. The only way this doesn't work is if moderates see through the language and call it what it is. That last ad shows they're worried that might happen.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

He's one of those figures who's always just sort of been there — a Manhattan political mainstay who most recently made headlines during Trump's first impeachment. That might end up being his most lasting national footprint. He barely held onto his seat after being redistricted into a brutal primary with Carolyn Maloney. He survived that one, but it felt like the end of something.Now he's officially retiring. He says it's time to pass the torch, and he's backing his former aide, Michael Lasher, to take over. That makes sense. It's a controlled handoff. The district will stay blue. The torch will stay in the family. Nadler might not have been the flashiest member of Congress, but he was consequential — particularly in the Judiciary Committee, where he held the gavel through some of the most heated partisan fights of the Trump era.He stepped aside from that leadership role after Jamie Raskin challenged him, and that felt like the start of the wind-down. There wasn't really a lane left for him in this current version of the Democratic Party. He's not the TikTok-friendly progressive, and he's not the compromise-seeking centrist. He's just an old-school liberal from New York. And now, like a lot of others in his generation, he's finally closing the book.Virginia Foxx and the Epstein FilesRepresentative Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Rules Committee, announced she won't use her panel to block Thomas Massie's discharge petition demanding the release of the Epstein files. That's a big move — maybe even a signal. The Republican leadership has been slow-rolling this whole thing, not wanting to get too close to whatever comes out of those documents. But Foxx just let it breathe.Massie's move has bipartisan cover — he's working with Democrat Ro Khanna — and it's gaining momentum. Speaker Mike Johnson says he supports “maximum disclosure,” but that there need to be protections for victims. That's the dodge. That's how they're all trying to walk this line — publicly in favor of transparency, privately praying it doesn't land on their doorstep.The buzz on the Hill is that DOJ will release just enough of the Epstein files to make the issue go away. Maybe that works. Maybe not. But one thing's clear: the discharge petition isn't just symbolic anymore. It's a real threat. And the fact that leadership isn't moving to squash it says a lot about how much weaker those levers of control have gotten. Foxx's choice here wasn't just about process — it was a quiet acknowledgment that the old rules don't apply. Not with this. Not anymore.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:25 - Interview with Dillon Fleharty00:45:49 - Update00:48:02 - Prop 50 ads00:53:05 - Jerry Nadler00:55:08 - Virginia Foxx00:56:47 - Interview with Dillon Fleharty, con't01:35:24 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

White House Says House Members Supporting Rep. Massie's Epstein Files Push Engaging In ‘Hostile Act' Against Trump Admin
Victims of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse are preparing to appear alongside members of Congress in a press conference at the U.S. Capitol, organized by Representatives Ro Khanna (D‑CA) and Thomas Massie (R‑KY). This event marks the first time in over a decade some survivors will speak publicly, and it is a central moment in a bipartisan push demanding the Justice Department release more comprehensive Epstein-related files. Notably, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑GA), a vocal Trump ally, is expected to attend and has thrown her support behind the discharge petition aimed at compelling full disclosure of these documentsAt the news conference, Khanna and Massie—and survivors—will spotlight how many victims were sidelined when Epstein's plea deal was struck. They're launching the “Epstein Files Transparency Act” and have introduced a discharge petition to force a House vote that, if successful, would require the Attorney General to publicly release all unclassified records, including those held by the DOJ, FBI, and U.S. attorneys' offices. The survivors' presence underscores mounting frustration with the partial release of around 33,295 pages of documents—most of which were already public—and amplifies calls for accountability and full transparencyto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein victims to speak at news conference calling for file release amid bipartisan push | Fox News

Today's Headlines: President Trump hasn't been seen in public in days, fueling health rumors the White House won't confirm or deny—though his team has been posting old photos and oddly ghostwritten Truth Social rants to keep up appearances. Meanwhile, a U.S. appeals court ruled most of Trump's tariffs illegal but left them in place until mid-October, setting up a likely Supreme Court fight. Trump also yanked Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection right before her book tour, while Marco Rubio revoked Mahmoud Abbas's U.S. visa ahead of the UN General Assembly. On the rebrand beat, the administration is drafting plans to rename the Department of Defense the “Department of War” (which was last used in 1947). Elsewhere, Rudy Giuliani says he fractured his spine in a car crash after helping a domestic violence victim—though Trump quickly promised him a Medal of Freedom, raising more questions than answers. Missouri's GOP governor is fast-tracking redistricting to lock in more Republican seats before 2026. Abroad, Xi Jinping hosted Putin and Modi at the Shanghai Cooperation summit to pitch a “Global South” order, Yemen mourned slain Houthi leaders after an Israeli strike, and Israel says it also killed Hamas's spokesman as it eyes another Gaza offensive. And back home, Congress returns with the Epstein files looming—lawmakers Massie and Khanna are set to appear with new victims demanding the DOJ release everything.

Each contestant tries to prove their gun knowledge dominance. It's a wild ride of bids, bluffs, and banter—who will come out on top? Tune in to find out! WLS is Lifestyle Glock's Surprising Stance Glock supports gun control? Bringing your kids into shooting. Aaron's Alley Going Ballistic Hawaii's Gun Laws: Aiming for Freedom, Not Chains The Second Amendment Foundation is challenging Hawaii's stringent gun purchase laws, arguing they infringe on constitutional rights. This legal action could significantly impact the gun community in Hawaii by potentially opening the door for less restrictive regulations and greater access to firearms. Gun rights advocates see this as a step against mounting efforts by gun control proponents to limit access to firearms. Supreme Court to Debate Pennsylvania's Silly Under-21 Carry Ban: A Step Towards Common Sense or Another Misfire? The Supreme Court is set to review a case regarding Pennsylvania's ban on concealed carry permits for individuals under 21, which could impact the rights of young gun owners. If the Court rules against the ban, it may bolster the Second Amendment rights for younger citizens, much to the chagrin of gun control advocates who prefer stricter regulations. Tim Walz's Latest Gun Control Circus: Here We Go Again! Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is considering an emergency legislative session to address gun control measures following recent events. The proposal could impact gun rights within the state, igniting further debates and mobilizing the gun community in opposition to increased restrictions. Ilhan Omar's Uninformed Crusade Against 'Assault Weapons' In light of Ilhan Omar's recent comments advocating for the elimination of "assault weapons," the gun community is likely to face increased scrutiny and calls for stricter regulations. This push highlights ongoing tensions between gun rights advocates and those seeking to limit firearm availability, further fueling the debate over the Second Amendment. Massie's Bold Move: Kicking the Anti-Gun Lobby Out of Schools Thomas Massie has introduced a bill aimed at repealing the Gun-Free School Zones Act. This move is likely to energize pro-Second Amendment advocates who argue that such zones do not enhance safety and may instead leave schools vulnerable to armed attacks. The introduction of this bill may lead to intensified debates within the gun community and among gun control advocates as they grapple with the implications for school safety. Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Zachary - 10 year listener and haven't missed an episode since I've started listening. My media intake time is limited but when a new episode of wls drops it is always a priority to listen. 5 squares for sure ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from N-word Jim - 5 Squares. I first found WLS though the FightLite Herring 2024. When I heard the maker of this abomination had a podcast, I knew I had to see what sort of faggotry happened there. I soon found out that this is more of a cult than a simple podcast.
From a young age, Jenifer Massie was immersed in a culture of service, beginning with volunteering in her school's “gramps and grannies” program and extending to caring for her own family members. Her caregiving roles evolved over the years, from supporting her grandmother and great aunt to becoming a “sandwich caregiver” while raising her own children. Jenifer's approach to caregiving was shaped by her family's tradition of stepping in where needed, often without formal discussions, and by her deep sense of gratitude and responsibility.A pivotal chapter in Jenifer's journey came when her oldest brother was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, and she became part of his care team. This period was marked by emotional vulnerability, profound family connection, and ultimately, her own diagnosis with colorectal cancer just weeks before her brother's passing. Experiencing both sides of care—giving and receiving—transformed Jenifer's perspective, teaching her the importance of self-advocacy, setting boundaries, and embracing vulnerability. Her faith played a central role in her healing and resilience, guiding her through the most challenging moments. Today, Jenifer channels her experiences into her professional work, supporting other caregivers and advocating for resources, self-care, and open family communication. Her story is a reminder of the strength found in community, the necessity of self-care, and the enduring impact of compassion.About Jenifer:Jenifer Alty Massie, Regional Director BrightStar Care, is a dedicated advocate for compassionate care and community support. A Lynchburg native, she deeply values the strong sense of connection between caregivers, clients, and staff.Before dedicating herself to raising three children, Jenifer worked as a counselor for runaway and at-risk youth, providing guidance and support during critical times. Over the years, she has also cared for aging and terminally ill family members, gaining firsthand experience in the importance of quality home care.In 2021, Jenifer was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, an experience that gave her a profound understanding of the impact exceptional home care can have during times of pain and uncertainty. She believes that the relationships between clients, caregivers, and nurses can provide comfort and stability when it is needed most.Thank you to our sponsor: CareScoutSupport the showConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Sisterhood of Care, LLC Website: www.confessionsofareluctantcaregiver.com Like us on Facebook!

The role that research centers play in any energy ecosystem are extremely vital. We have seen this play out in the Oil and Gas space, mining, environmental, and so on. Well, Geothermal is no different. The Cascade Institute is on a mission to unlock ultra-deep geothermal resources within Canada specifically with the hopes that it spurs traction globally. From funding models, policy support, to in field test sites where technology can be de-risked unlocking critical investment dollars, these institutes are a key piece to the energy ecosystem. This episode features Peter Massie, the Director of the Geothermal office at the Cascade Institute and we touch on many of these topics and more, so come have a listen.

This week we're delighted to welcome Simon Massie-Taylor to the show. Simon is the CEO of The newly branded Prem Rugby. The competition has faced well publicised challenges in recent years, with clubs going bust and broader questions around the viability of the sport as an attractive investment. But with attendances on the rise, commercial income flowing, major long term broadcasting deals and the Red Bull marketing machine as a new stakeholder, this is a competition looking forward not backwards. With talk of challenger leagues and continual disruption to the established order of rugby, this is a perfect time to understand why Prem Rugby and broader club rugby in England still holds the greatest appeal. The challenge is grabbing that opportunity; an unrelenting commitment to ensure when fans tune into the sport away from the international game, that this is the competition they turn to. Let's see what the plans are. On today's show we discuss: Investment in Prem Rugby: Why did Red Bull decide to invest in Prem Rugby with their purchase of Newcastle Falcons? Is club rugby a good investment when there are so many opportunities to buy assets in broader sport? There has been a new type of investor coming into rugby. Why is this important? Can you continue to run a league when clubs continue to lose money? What type of profile to Prem Rugby want to see from prospective owners? Improving the Product: Despite all the challenges the game has faced over the last 10 years, attendances are rising, media deals are getting bigger, commercials are stronger than ever. Why? The importance of attracting a new audience while maintaining the relationship with the existing fanbase. Why more isn't always better; the challenger league conundrum. Aligning the global calendar to ensure a clash of major tournaments does not diminish the quality of the game. Financial Sustainability is Essential: What is the importance of good governance in rugby? Why understanding the responsibilities of each organisation and their executives will allow for a future of collective progress; rising tide lifts all boats. What did the CVC deal allow the league to do, and is more private equity investment on the horizon? How is the salary cap facilitating more responsible financial management? What does the future hold? Better financial performance and regulation to drive the commercial and investment viability of the sport.

Getting promoted feels like a win—until you realize no one's actually taught you how to lead. You go from being good at your job to managing people who expect direction, clarity, and support, and suddenly everything gets more complicated. Meanwhile, high-potential team members quietly leave because they're frustrated, overlooked, or just plain burned out. It's not that new managers don't care—it's that they're tossed into leadership without a map, hoping they figure it out before everything falls apart. Noel Massie spent over 40 years at UPS, rising from truck loader to VP of U.S. Delivery Operations, leading 140,000 people. He's also the author of Congrats, You've Been Promoted, a guide for new leaders. Today, he talks about the common pitfalls new managers face and why intentional leadership matters. He shares practical tools like the “best principle” and “four by five method” to help build clear, value-driven teams. His message: great leadership starts with clarity, purpose, and accountability. Stay tuned! Quotes: “You can't expect to get more than you give. If people are the way to success, then you need to invest in those people intentionally and consciously.” “Leadership is one thing and one thing alone: the ability to influence the behavior of a group or an individual without coercion toward a common objective.” “Culture is built at the top and executed at the bottom. No CEO is out building airplanes or serving clients, but they talk about how great that stuff needs to be.” Resources: kaylahbozman@gmail.com Noel Massie | Leader. Mentor. Advocate.

Tonight's episode connects the cultural noise to kitchen-table reality. Then we dig into Marjorie Taylor Greene & Thomas Massie, where they're aligned, where they clash, and why it matters for real-world policy. From there, we pull the curtain on health-insurance corruption, premiums, billing games, denials, and how the system keeps middle class families paying more while others get discounts or even free. I also announce my new Substack which started because of folks losing access to EBT junk foods: practical swaps, simple pantry builds, and budget-friendly recipes that keep you fed without ultra-processed filler. We also talk “beggars on TikTok”, the ethics, the grift, and spotting red flags, before closing with the big question: Are there truly no jobs and prices are impossible, or are we also complaining more? We separate hard numbers from vibes and talk about what we can control at home.
In this episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen sits down with Noel Massie, former Vice President of UPS U.S. Operations and author of Congrats! You've Been Promoted: An Essential Guide for Helping New Leaders and Their Teams Succeed. Noel shares invaluable lessons from his journey—starting as a McDonald's crew member at 16 to leading 200,000 employees at UPS. He unpacks the biggest myths about climbing the corporate ladder, how to turn disadvantages into strengths, and why feedback from peers and subordinates matters more than you think. Listeners will learn: -Why leadership is never casual and how every action counts. -The B.E.S.T. principle for handling tough conversations. -The 4-to-1 feedback rule to build trust and motivation. -How to use the Four-by-Five Method to resolve conflicts. Why Gen Z and Millennials require a new style of leadership focused on inclusivity and respect. If you've recently been promoted—or are aspiring to take the next step in leadership—this conversation offers practical frameworks, strategies, and inspiration to help you and your team thrive.
Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) are set to co-host a bipartisan press conference at the U.S. Capitol on September 3, 2025, where survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse will speak—some for the first time—about their experiences. The event is part of a broader push to advance the Epstein Files Transparency Act and a discharge petition aimed at forcing Attorney General Pam Bondi to release Epstein-related legal documents in a fully searchable, downloadable format. The lawmakers say the purpose is not only to give the survivors a national platform but also to press Congress to confront the lack of accountability and secrecy that has long surrounded the case.The move comes amid growing bipartisan momentum, including support from a dozen Republicans, to bypass House leadership and force a vote on releasing the documents with victim-protective redactions. Opposition has been notable from figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump, who have dismissed or downplayed the effort—Johnson citing privacy concerns and Trump labeling it a “hoax.” Massie, Khanna, and their allies counter that transparency with safeguards is both achievable and necessary, framing the event as a test of whether Congress will side with survivors or perpetuate the culture of secrecy that shielded Epstein and his network for decades.Also...A federal judge has rejected the Justice Department's bid to unseal grand jury documents from the Ghislaine Maxwell case, ruling that the material would add virtually nothing to what was already made public during her 2021 trial. The judge emphasized that the records in question did not include victim or witness testimony but rather law enforcement summaries that revealed no new names, crime scenes, or substantive investigative details. This effectively dismantled the DOJ's framing of the request as a major transparency effort, revealing it instead as an overhyped move with negligible informational value.The decision exposes the DOJ's ongoing pattern of performative transparency in the Epstein matter—announcing high-profile actions that, when examined closely, produce no real accountability. By seeking the release of redundant documents under the guise of public disclosure, the Department appears more interested in optics than substance, further fueling skepticism over whether it is genuinely committed to uncovering the truth. Rather than clarifying the historical record, this latest maneuver reinforces the perception that the DOJ is managing the Epstein scandal as a political distraction rather than confronting its deep-rooted failures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump Nemesis Is Bringing Epstein Victims to Capitol to Push for Files ReleaseEpstein files: A judge confirms the Trump team's smokescreen | CNN Politics

Anne Massie and Virginia Pleasant share how they've grown Region Roots Local Farm and Food Hub to increase opportunities for famers to feed their regional communities. “The Region” is how the area of Northwest Indiana where they are based is known locally. Both co-executive directors of the NWI (Northwest Indiana) Food Council, they tell us how they've rapidly grown their grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a just and regenerative food system.They discuss considerations including how big of a population can be supported by a food hub, effective programs, how to get funding, and how they've been dealing with the cancellation of promised funding by the federal government this year. This food hub is really helping open up markets for farmers and getting more local food into the community, and the conversation emphasizes how to actually get community collaboration, farmer support, and public policy to work together to shape food policy.Connect With Guest:Instagram: @region_roots_food_hubWebsite: regionroots.org Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.
