FULLY & COMPLETELY: REDUX"In Violet Light" - The Tragically HipEpisode Show Notes——————————————————————————————————Fully & Completely: Redux | "In Violet Light" - The Tragically Hip (2002)——————————————————————————————————Hey, it's jD here.Some albums don't just meet you where you are - they find you exactly when you need them. **"In Violet Light" is that record.** Released in June 2002, it's the one that pulled jD hard back into The Tragically Hip after a stretch of distance. And if you listen closely, it makes total sense why. This isn't a band trying to hold on - it's a band that has let go of every obligation and is just making music for themselves. **The result is one of the most quietly assured records of The Hip's entire career.**This week on Fully & Completely: redux, jD and Greg LeGros go track by track through "In Violet Light" - the eighth studio album from The Tragically Hip, recorded in the Bahamas with legendary producer Hugh Padham - and make the case that this record has no business being this good, this far into a career.——————————————————————————————————EPISODE OVERVIEW"In Violet Light" landed in a 2002 music landscape that included Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head," Queens of the Stone Age's "Songs for the Deaf," Beck's "Sea Change," and Broken Social Scene's "You Forgot It in People." The indie pop explosion was just beginning to blow the roof off Canadian music. The Hip were eight albums deep, the mainstream had largely written them off, and **they responded by making one of their best records.** No fat. No filler. Eleven tracks of lean, confident, beautiful rock and roll.The album was recorded at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas - the same studio where AC/DC recorded "Back in Black" and Bob Marley cut some of his most enduring work - with Hugh Padham, the producer behind the gated drum sound that defined the 1980s (Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight," Sting's solo catalogue, The Police's "Synchronicity"). **jD and Greg break down why that combination - this band, this producer, this place - produced something genuinely special.**——————————————————————————————————TRACK BY TRACK HIGHLIGHTS**'Are You Ready to Love'** - The opener sets the whole album's thesis. jD hears the first verse as a direct response to the critics and mainstream fans who had written The Hip off. **"They're pulling the plug. They've got our whole dug." And then - the chorus arrives like a shrug and a fist at the same time: are you ready for love?** A great rock and roll song that doubles as a mission statement.**'Use It Up'** - Built on a lyric attributed to the booklet of a Raymond Carver collection, this is a track about seizing everything, wasting nothing, and making music for the love of it. Greg hears Radiohead's "OK Computer" in the verses and the Georgia Satellites in the chorus - **and somehow The Tragically Hip pull both of those things off in the same song.** A slow burn that rewards headphones.**'The Darkest One'** - jD turns up whatever he's listening to every single time this song starts. **"The wild are strong and the strong are the darkest ones - and you're the darkest one."** Greg calls it a safe place. A song about freedom of expression, comfort, and the strange intimacy of being fully understood. Don't let the Trailer Park Boys video fool you - this song could have broken them wide open.**'It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken'** - The centrepiece. The lead single. **Both jD and Greg pick this as their track of the record - the first time in the history of Fully & Completely that hosts have landed on the same song.** Named for a Canadian graphic novel by Seth and a phrase used by band staffer Molly Lorimer to describe life on the road, it's a song about mortality, aging, and the strange grace that comes when you stop fighting. Death is swirling all around it - and it's still one of the most uplifting things The Tragically Hip ever made.**'Silver Jet'** - The one that changes gears just right. Greg connects this song personally to the empty skies over the Danforth in the days after 9/11, and the feeling of the first plane cutting back through the silence. **A song about hope, fear, and the things that pull your gaze forward.** The wolves of Northumberland. An archipelago. A green star. Only Gord.**'Throwing Off Glass'** - Companion piece to 'Trick Rider' from "Phantom Power" - if that song is about his son, this one is about his daughter. A slow builder that rewards patience. **A soundscape that would fit comfortably on "Coke Machine Glow."****'All Tore Up'** - A great drinking rock and roll song. Dottie the bluegrass singer. Open concept. Getting a little happening with old friends. **No one else writes a lyric like this and makes it fit inside a song this well.** Turn it up.**'Leave'** - A waltz in 3/4 time. Beautiful backup vocals. A late-night phone call at three in the morning. **"You better be dying." And they were.** An emotional gut-punch that doubles as a permission slip - to leave a job, a relationship, a place that no longer fits.**'The Dire Wolf'** - A pseudo-history lesson disguised as a rock song. Tallulah Bankhead and Canada Lee, stars of Hitchcock's "The Lifeboat." Ann Harvey of Isle of Morts, Newfoundland, who rescued 163 shipwrecked souls in 1828. A poem called "Sea Surface Full of Clouds" by Wallace Stevens. **Greg pulls all of this from memory. It's an entire university lecture wrapped in six minutes of music that absolutely slaps.****'The Dark Canuck'** - The closer. Possibly the longest Tragically Hip song ever recorded at six and a half minutes. A time signature change halfway through. **Canadian soldiers as peacekeepers. Apple, Zippo, and Metronome as record labels. Jaws at the drive-in. The Dark Canuck playing second on the double bill.** Nobody at the drive-in is staying for it. And that's sort of the whole point.——————————————————————————————————WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERSThis is the album that brought jD back to The Hip in earnest - **the record that cracked open the second half of his relationship with this band.** It's also the episode where he and Greg pick the same song for the first time. And it's the one where jD, partway through discussing 'Leave,' pauses to talk about his mother. **Listen for that moment. It's what this podcast is for.**"In Violet Light" is a masterpiece with no business being this good eight albums in. And this episode earns every minute of its runtime.So there's that.——————————————————————————————————SOURCES & CREDITS• HipMuseum.com• This Is Our Life: The Tragically Hip in the 1990s (Michael Barclay)• "It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken" - graphic novel by Seth• "Sea Surface Full of Clouds" - poem by Wallace Stevens• Ann Harvey of Isle of Morts, Newfoundland - historical record• Compass Point Studios, Nassau, Bahamas - production history• Raymond Carver - attributed quote in "Use It Up"——————————————————————————————————CONNECT WITH THE SHOW• Facebook: facebook.com/groups/tthpods• Instagram: @tthpods• YouTube: youtube.com/@tthpods• Email: tthpodcastseries@gmail.comThe Tragically Hip Podcast Series - Est. 2018#TheTragicallyHip #TheHip #InVioletLight #FullyCompletely #GordDownie #TragicallyHip #CanadianRock——————————————————————————————————Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tthtop40/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bill McIntyre talks with Mike LePetri, Republican candidate for NY-03 Congressional Seat in 2026.  They speak about affordability, what's different in 2026 vs. the 2024 race, and what separates him from Tom Suozzi, the incumbent.

Faire l'amour au-dessus des nuages… un rêve, un fantasme, une audace. Dans cet épisode brûlant, découvrez Noah, jeune steward d'Air Bahamas, et Kimberly, insulaire sensuelle en quête de liberté. À bord d'un Boeing entre Nassau et Georgetown, leurs regards se croisent — et bientôt, leurs corps s'embrasent.

Live-Podcast vom 19. Januar 2026 mit Prof. Dr. Christiane Tietz (Kirchenpräsidentin Evangelische Kirche in Hessen und Nassau), moderiert von Prof. Dr. Thorsten Dietz und Dr. Andreas Loos (Fokus Theologie und Podcast „Geist.Zeit“) sowie Dr. Helge Bezold (Evangelische Akademie Frankfurt). Was bedeutet Glaube heute? Und warum lohnt es sich, trotz Zweifel und Kritik zu glauben? In ihrem neuen Buch über Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) geht die Theologin und EKHN-Kirchenpräsidentin Christiane Tietz diesen Fragen nach. Ihre These: Obwohl der Philosoph das Christentum radikal infrage stellte, lebte und dachte er fortwährend in dessen Bann. Darüber – und über ihre Sicht auf das Glauben und Zweifeln – spricht Tietz im Rahmen eines Live-Podcasts von „Geist.Zeit“ mit Thorsten Dietz und Andreas Loos von der Fachstelle Fokus Theologie aus Zürich.

After the heartbreak of suddenly losing their dog , Jack and Kevin took a Celebrity Reflection cruise to distract themselves from their sadness. The episode covers a frantic drive to the port, a harrowing last‑minute boarding, off-putting martini‑bar hangouts, inevitable casino losses, and a pretty good magician. They stop in Freeport Bahamas instead of Cocoa Cay due to storm damage to the pier (Freeport is not a tourist destination) and explore Nassau's colorful architecture, the pink courthouse, and the historic Balcony House.

In the cases we cover, there are types of relationship that frequently crop up between killer and victim, romantic partners or romantic rivals most of all. Sometimes, though, the relationship that is broken by murder is more shocking: a parent killing a child, or a child killing a parent. And sometimes that killer is still literally a child, someone you would never suspect to be capable of such brutal action. Case 1: The Murder of Jackie Bartlam. Case 2: The Murder of Gina Padilla. Tickets are on sale now for CrimeWave 2.0! Visit crimewaveatsea.com/CAMPFIRE to book your cabin, plus get $100 off and a private meet-and-greet with us!

Growing up in central Missouri, she got her start as a teenage lifeguard and worked her way into municipal parks and recreation leadership before taking a leap into international water park operations. That decision led her to open and operate major projects abroad, including seven years on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and then a move to Nassau in 2019 to help open Baha Bay, the 15-acre resort water park on the same property as Baha Mar's Rosewood, Grand Hyatt, and SLS hotels. In this interview, Melissa talks about boots on the ground, being comfortable being uncomfortable, and operating a luxury waterpark. Boots on the ground “Be boots on the ground management by walking around, and just being able to interact with our guests as well.” Melissa's leadership style is rooted in showing up where the work is happening, especially during peak periods. During the holiday rush, her routine centers on briefings, checking in with teams, and spending most of the day circulating throughout the park and resort pools. That presence is not performative. She wants team members to know she's there to support them, and she wants to hear guest feedback directly, in real time, so improvements can be made faster. That mindset connects to her earliest days in the industry, when she did everything in a municipal setting, from cleaning restrooms to selling concessions. Those experiences shaped a servant leadership approach where she avoids asking anyone to do something she is not willing to do herself. For Melissa, morale and operational consistency are built in the trenches, side by side with the team. Being comfortable being uncomfortable “Sometimes, you've got to be comfortable being uncomfortable.” Melissa describes her career as a series of intentional stretches. Moving abroad “sight unseen,” navigating language barriers, and leading teams with wide-ranging backgrounds all required patience, humility, and a willingness to learn in public. Her takeaway is that discomfort is not a warning sign, it's often a growth signal, especially for emerging leaders who are encountering challenges like upset guests, unfamiliar policies, or communication gaps for the first time. She coaches her team to keep perspective when situations feel hard. Her reminder is simple: it is temporary, and the comfort zone expands through repetition. She reframes growth as progress toward proficiency, not perfection. Over time, those once-intimidating moments become more natural, and she loves seeing team members make that shift and then turn around and train the next wave. Operating a luxury waterpark “We are a 15-acre luxury water park, which is a little bit of a tricky thing to piece together.” Baha Bay is both a resort amenity and a destination that sells day passes, which creates a unique operational balance. Melissa explains that “luxury” is not just a label, it's reflected in design details like landscaping, finishings, and elevated cabanas that feel like permanent structures rather than temporary setups. The goal is alignment with Baha Mar's broader brand promise as a high-end resort experience. Luxury also shows up in service expectations and consistency. Whether guests arrive from Rosewood, Grand Hyatt, SLS, a cruise ship, or an Airbnb, Melissa emphasizes that everyone deserves the same high-level experience. Her team uses shared core values across resort services to meet those expectations, and she reinforces the standard from onboarding forward. The challenge, as she puts it, is sustaining that grand-opening energy year after year, which she tackles through daily briefings, ongoing training, and recognition programs like the park's Elevation Awards. Melissa invites listeners to connect with her on LinkedIn.

The afternoon All Local for Thursday, Feb. 5.

Once you reach a certain level, there is no ‘better'…it's different.”   Released on August 19, 1983, FLICK OF THE SWITCH (the 9th studio album by AC/DC and the 3rd featuring Brian Johnson on the mic) is what some fans might call their “White Album” (arriving after their “Black Album” and “Bronze Album”, respectively), showing a black and white grayscale drawing of a lone Angus pulling down some massive power, so to speak.   “That's literally ‘Bad To The Bone' and ‘In My Time Of Dying'…”   While self-produced by the band and containing a much rawer production and drier mix than the ultra-produced Mutt Lange masterpieces which came before it, FLICK OF THE SWITCH is a back-to-basics approach showing the band embracing more of their earlier blues based sound while still remaining faithful to the signature, high-energy, up-tempo jams which have become their calling card. It's loud, straight ahead, and powerful, and while perhaps not as uber popular as the 3 albums that preceded it, FLICK is still very much an important album in the AC/DC catalog and one that would serve as a “connector” between where they had been and where they were headed.   “We could have a rated R show…it doesn't have to be X…”   We're finally back on track after getting derailed by the weather. Always remember to “wait ‘til it has some viscosity to it…” and then JOIN US for a “night time” dive into the album that would serve as the bridge into the next era of AC/DC with “The White Album” known as FLICK OF THE SWITCH.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast More ACDC Episodes: https://www.metalnerdery.com/acdc   Show Notes: (00:01): #selfconsciousness / “Hold on…you don't know what you're asking for…”/ #darkcomedy / “It's kinda like…being in a cover band and having you guys show up when we play #POISON…”/ #carriesunderwear / “I need a rage truck…”/ “I like doing it…it's fun…”/ “A little bit…only if you push back…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised ***/  “Synching up…locking in…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST (NIGHT TIME EDITION) ***/ #coveryourmouth / “I'm building up my immunity system…”/ “It could have been me…”/ #AIDSFlu / “It takes a flu nap is what you're saying…”/ #homemadelube / “Wait til it has some viscosity to it…” (05:55): EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com & PATREON US at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast / #HailToTheBenton / “Dude, the Hog Story is worth the price of admission…”/ “Oh yeah…when we get done…I need to show you guys something…”/ “It's like zazz and zhuzh…”/ #NWOOSTM / “Here's what I hate about Marshalls…”/ #Traitor REACTOR IV (Venomizer – 2016) / #1986 / #incomplete /  “You know what dude, that's the best #BackstreetBoys song…”/ #Enmy – LEDGE / #melody / “It's the hard stop…and then super soft…”/ #markthetime / “I wasn't expecting to like that…”/ “No Slayer of the Episode?”/ #anush #penish / #SlayerOfTheEpisode / #Slayer HALLOWED POINT (Seasons In The Abyss – 1990) / “And just like that…all is right in the world…”/ “It's all 7's…” (22:47): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  AC/DC – FLICK OF THE SWITCH / #ACDC #TheWhiteAlbum / “I don't remember being 10 and listening to AC/DC…” “It's black and white in grayscale…”/ Released August 19, 1983 / “Doing AC/DC always takes me back to childhood…”/ “In the For…Flick…Fly category, Flick is in the middle there…” / “It's 3-D and you can feel the texture…”/ Recorded in Nassau, The Bahamas with Robert John “Mutt” Lange / “He's the Bob Rock of the 80's…”/ “Their sound is menopause…”/ RISING POWER / “I feel like it was a little slow to start…”/ “#Pyromania btw was January 20 (1983)…”/ “I don't know what that is: a desert vagina kinda…”/ THIS HOUSE IS ON FIRE / “They should have swapped those two…”/ “Mega ultra mother fucking super stardom…” (33:23): FLICK OF THE SWITCH / “I think every band has a ‘connector' album…”/ “That's a good episode…3 albums in a row…”/ “Use penal clean…”/ NERVOUS SHAKEDOWN “Two words…slower and sleazier…”/ “You know what the leading cause of death is for nymphomaniacs is?”/ “We could have a Rated R show…it doesn't have to be X…”/ #killercloser / LANDSLIDE / “What a great closer for Side 1…”/ “That riff…reminded me of this…”/ PLAYING WITH GIRLS (Fly On The Wall – 1985) / “I try to hold this thing together…” (38:38): GUNS FOR HIRE / “Turn this up to loud…” / “Once you reach a certain level, there is no ‘better'…it's just different.”/ DEEP IN THE HOLE / “I'm over A.I…”/  “I cup the balls, I go all the way…”   (45:34): BEDLAM IN BELGIUM / “Side 2 better than Side 1…” / “It's really close to ‘Fly On The Wall'…” / BADLANDS / “That's literally ‘Bad To The Bone' and ‘In My Time Of Dying'…”/ “I feel like he does that in the studio…”/ SG vs Les Paul / #markthetime / BRAINSHAKE / #killercloser / “That sounds like an AC/DC closer…”/ “It's only 8 minutes longer than Reign In Blood…”/ “It sounds like a good bridge to ‘Fly On The Wall'…”/ “It's the bridge between the old and the next…”/ Bands with great 3-album runs / THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!!!/ #untilthenext #outroreel

Top Stories for January 31st Publish Date: January 31st PRE-ROLL: KIA Mall Of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 31st and Happy Birthday to Jackie Robinson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Lanier Islands Resort—where love stories seem to write themselves. With over a dozen dreamy indoor and outdoor wedding venues, it’s no wonder this lakeside gem has been the backdrop for countless “I do’s.” And this year? Valentine’s Day lands on a Saturday, making it the perfect excuse for a romantic escape. For couples looking to make a weekend of it, the resort’s Valentine’s Romantic Getaway has all the swoon-worthy details: champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, cozy accommodations, a multi-course dinner at Sidney’s overlooking the lake, and breakfast the next morning. Want more? There’s spa treatments, snow fun at Margaritaville, or even a game day at Game Changer. Planning to pop the question? The resort’s wedding consultants can help you nail the moment, from finding the perfect spot to booking a photographer. Love is definitely in the air at Lanier Islands. STORY 2: Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Students across Gwinnett County are walking out of class, protesting immigration enforcement and the fear it’s brought into their schools. The district is trying to balance it all—supporting students’ voices while keeping things safe and orderly. The protests come as frustration grows nationwide over ICE’s actions, including the deaths of two U.S. citizens. Some students say they’re scared to even show up to school. The district reiterated its policy: ICE can’t enter non-public areas of schools without a judge-signed warrant. But fear lingers. Enrollment has dropped by thousands since ICE activity ramped up in 2025, according to the Gwinnett County Association of Educators. For now, GCPS is working with students to keep protests peaceful and on-campus. STORY 3: Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville When Scott McCray first set his sights on expanding his restaurant footprint, downtown Lawrenceville wasn’t exactly buzzing. “It was quiet—really quiet,” he said. “Not much going on, but I saw potential.” That was back in the early 2000s, when the corner spot he wanted—a beat-up old drugstore—wasn’t even available. So, he waited. By 2006, McCray’s Tavern opened on Perry Street, and two decades later, it’s a cornerstone of Lawrenceville’s now-vibrant Square. Today, McCray owns nine restaurants, including Perry Street Chophouse and several McCray’s Taverns across metro Atlanta. But he’s not done yet. “We’ve got another building on the Square,” he teased. “Still figuring out what to do with it, but we’re working on something.” And then there’s St. Patrick’s Day—his annual “Perry Street festival” that shuts down the street, packs the rooftop deck, and unofficially kicks off spring. Reflecting on 20 years in the business, McCray still seems a little surprised. “I didn’t grow up dreaming about restaurants,” he said. “But once I opened my first place, I knew. It’s hard work, but I still love it. Every day.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - GCPS STORY 4: GIVE East's Candice Richardson named GCPS Teacher of the Year Dr. Candice Richardson didn’t take the usual path to teaching. In fact, her journey started far from a classroom—in a doctor’s office in Nassau, Bahamas, where she worked as a physician. But life has a funny way of rerouting us. Fifteen years ago, she moved to the U.S. with her husband and began the long, grueling process of earning her medical license here. To make ends meet, she started substitute teaching. “I thought it’d just be temporary,” she said. “But when I walked into GIVE Center East, something clicked. I knew—this is where I’m supposed to be.” Fast forward to now: Richardson, who’s been teaching biology at GIVE for four years, was just named Gwinnett County Public Schools’ 2027 Teacher of the Year. It’s a rare honor for a teacher at an alternative school, and Richardson doesn’t take it lightly. At GIVE, Richardson works with students who’ve been written off by others. “These kids have been told they’re failures, that one mistake defines them,” she said. “But I believe in second chances. I want them to see they’re worth more than their worst moment.” Richardson’s passion for her students shines through in everything she does, from creating hands-on biology lessons to building relationships that show her students they’re valued. STORY 5: Republican state House leaders unveil plan to abolish homeowner property taxes Georgia Republicans are making a bold promise: no more property taxes for homeowners by 2032. Sounds great, right? But the details? Well, they’re complicated. House Speaker Jon Burns unveiled the plan Wednesday, calling it “historic tax relief” aimed at easing the financial strain on homeowners. Rising home values, he said, have made the current system “unsustainable.” The idea is to gradually phase out property taxes on primary residences, but here’s the catch—local governments rely on that money. A lot of it. Property taxes fund schools, police, fire departments—you name it. So, what happens when that revenue disappears? Burns’ plan would let cities and counties make up the difference by raising sales taxes or adding fees for specific services. But sales taxes are unpredictable, especially during economic downturns, and some areas might struggle to generate enough revenue. And then there’s the political hurdle. To make this happen, lawmakers need a constitutional amendment, which requires two-thirds approval in both chambers and a public vote. Oh, and the Senate? They’re focused on slashing income taxes instead. For now, the House hasn’t released all the details, but one thing’s clear: this proposal is ambitious—and it’s going to spark a lot of debate. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: TenMed Wound Care opening Lawrenceville office TenMed Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is bringing its expertise to Lawrenceville, opening a new clinic at 696 Grayson Highway. For patients in Gwinnett County dealing with stubborn wounds—diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, or other complex injuries—this is big news. The Lawrenceville location joins TenMed’s existing offices in Atlanta and Johns Creek, expanding access to advanced treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Dr. Joshua Behlmann, the clinic’s medical director, said he’s excited to serve the community. “Our goal is simple: to provide life-changing care for those who need it most.” From personalized wound care plans to cutting-edge therapies, the clinic is ready to help. For more info, visit tenmedhealth.com or call 470-508-0696. STORY 7: Test-run of outdoor classrooms in Georgia schools clears General Assembly Georgia students might soon trade desks for fresh air, thanks to a new outdoor learning pilot program. On Wednesday, the state Senate gave unanimous approval to a bill that would create outdoor classrooms at select K-8 schools. Next stop? Governor Kemp’s desk. State Sen. Bo Hatchett shared his own experience: “I had an outdoor classroom at North Habersham Middle, and it made a huge difference. Every kid should have that chance.” Sen. Sheikh Rahman added, “Kids are glued to screens. Getting them outside? It’s good for their bodies, their minds—everything.” The program will run for three years before lawmakers decide what’s next. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

This week we go into the dark heart of American Gestapo: Gregory Bovino's Border Patrol, which pushes ICE to become even more aggressive in his fascist feverdream.  Here to help us make sense of this hellscape is Nick Schwellenbach, a Senior Investigator at the Project on Government Oversight and former Communications Director at the U.S. Office of Special Counsel–a government agency set up after Watergate, meant to protect us from the next Nixon–more on that in this week's bonus show out Thursday.  Bovino grew up a Border Patrol fanboy idolizing fascist fiction and now stalks American cities in a Nazi-style trench coat with a taxpayer-funded film crew glamorizing his violent raids. Like Trump is a showman, Bovino is cruelty as a recruitment tool to consolidate power. Under his un-checked leadership, his border patrol army operates deep inside the U.S., smashing car windows, kidnapping U.S. citizens, and rounding up tens of thousands of people, including veterans and children, into detention centers where deaths are spiking at unprecedented rates.  With the help of questions submitted by a Gaslit Nation listener (thank you, Isabel!) we go into all the pressing questions about Bovino's Border Patrol and also ICE, including what happened to the children who disappeared under Trump's first term and what can be done to protect vulnerable immigrants today? As you listen to this episode, which opens with a clip of Bovino justifying shooting protesters with pepper balls, keep in mind Republicans gave ICE, which works closely with Bovino's Border Patrol, $75 billion over the next four years. They're also operating under aggressive weekly quotas. But is their war chest also for general population control?  For our bonus episode this week, we look at the safeguards that could have prevented Trump's return and why they didn't. To listen to the bonus, subscribe to our Patreon at the Truth-Teller level ($5/month) or higher. We are extremely grateful to our listeners who are keeping us afloat during a very difficult economic time. Every bit of support helps give us the freedom to be independent and tell the truth, so thank you again for making Gaslit Nation possible!

Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible.  Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing "cute" responses to Plaintiffs' counsel's questions or outright lying." "To the extent that agents use ChatGPT to create their use of force reports, this further undermines their credibility and may explain the inaccuracy of these reports when viewed in light of the BWC footage." https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.487571/gov.uscourts.ilnd.487571.281.0_3.pdf
