FBI's Nancy Guthrie Images: What They Show and What's Still Missing The FBI has recovered NEW images in the Nancy Guthrie case—but shockingly, there is NO footage of the actual abduction, raising serious questions about what really happened that night. Investigators now say they believe they know the motive, while evidence points to a targeted, pre-planned crime with surveillance days before. Tonight, retired NYPD detectives break down the timeline, the missing video, and what this means for catching the suspect. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Forty days after the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, investigators still have no arrest and no conclusive evidence in one of Arizona's most troubling kidnapping cases. Sheriff Chris Nanos has now issued a chilling warning — the offender responsible could strike again while investigators and the FBI continue pursuing leads, surveillance evidence, and public tips. Tonight, retired NYPD detectives break down what investigators know, what evidence has failed to produce answers, and what could finally break this case open.

Zohran Mamdani has been displaying behavior that suggests he is siding with terrorist regimes - most notably, visiting a shooter in the hospital who allegedly harbored terrorist intentions in NYC, rather than visiting the injured NYPD officer. What can New Yorkers expect over the next three years with him as Mayor? Miranda also previews what is coming up on her next podcast.

When 17 homeless people tragically passed away after the winter storm in NYC, did Zohran Mamdani ever reckon with his role in that outcome? The Mayor recently signed a contract to house the homeless in hotels at a cost of roughly $2 billion, and there may be a deeper financial strategy at play. Meanwhile, the Sheriff in the Nancy Guthrie case has made a statement that is raising serious questions about whether he had any involvement in the disappearance of Savannah's mother, Nancy.

Welcome back to The Joe Concha Show, where Joe is at war with woke and thinks liberals are a joke! In this action-packed episode, Joe fiercely defends the Eagles against Rolling Stone's ridiculous "75th best band" ranking, demanding they take their rightful place in the top 10. On the political front, Joe applauds Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for feeding our troops premium steak and lobster, completely shutting down Paul Begala's manufactured outrage. He then takes a wrecking ball to legacy media, mocking former TV anchors who have devolved into far-left kitchen podcasters with less credibility than "gas station sushi".

Defense Attorney Arthur Aidala joins the show to talk about the ongoing murder trial of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, noting that Diller's wife Stephanie may testify and describing the difficulty for families watching body-cam footage. Aidala explains the concept of a “long plea,” why defendants often go to trial in high-profile cases, and the defense attorney's role in ensuring the rules are followed even when a defense (such as an “accidental” gun discharge) seems unlikely; he predicts the defendants will spend life in prison. Sid and Artie then discuss mayoral politics, criticizing past leadership and focusing on candidate Zohran Mamdani's proposal to raise NYC taxes on millionaires, citing that under 1% of filers pay 37% of city income taxes.

Retired NYPD Lieutenant Darrin Porcher makes his debut with Sid live in-studio to talk about growing public disrespect for police, which Porcher attributes to the Bill de Blasio administration. Porcher criticizes current City Hall leadership and says Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch should resign rather than serve policies he believes harm public safety. He argues Mayor Mamdani is a catastrophic failure, questions who funded him, and says Mamdani's opposition to adding 5,000 officers and preference for social workers reflects anti-police views; Porcher claims 98% of NYPD dislike Mamdani but continue serving residents. He contrasts Giuliani and Bloomberg's public-safety “template” with de Blasio and Eric Adams, and says Mamdani's promises of “free” programs have led to taxes and new parking charges, creating a leadership vacuum and prompting calls for impeachment.

From gas prices to government overreach, Tara breaks down how Democrats and foreign adversaries may be working in sync — and why America's messaging strategy is failing. In this episode, we cover rising gas prices, alleged collusion between Iran and domestic Democrats, the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, and the heroic NYPD response to ISIS-inspired threats in New York City. Tara explores the political implications, media narratives, and what effective communication could look like in a high-stakes environment. Summary Tara dissects a complex web of political and national security issues, starting with rising U.S. gas prices and their connection to Democratic policies and energy regulations. She highlights how Iran allegedly leverages these issues to create talking points for Democrats, including potential drone attacks and oil tanker incidents. The discussion moves to domestic concerns, including DHS funding shutdowns, cyberattack threats, and sleeper cells, emphasizing how Republican messaging has failed to fill the narrative vacuum left by Democrats. Tara stresses the need for a coordinated “messaging war room” to counter misinformation. The episode also honors law enforcement heroes, focusing on NYPD Chief Aaron Edwards and Sergeant Louise Navarro, who risked their lives to stop ISIS-inspired bombers near Gracie Mansion. Tara contrasts their bravery with Mayor Zoran Emdani's controversial handling of the situation, highlighting the dangers of political optics over public safety. Finally, Tara addresses the extreme threats facing former Trump administration officials, including the need for military base protection due to left-wing and ISIS-linked threats, and the disturbing implications of a politicized judicial system failing to hold attackers accountable. Listeners gain insight into the intersection of policy, security, and media, and why coherent messaging is critical in times of crisis. Key Topics Rising U.S. gas prices under Biden vs. Trump policies Alleged coordination between Iran and Democratic talking points Department of Homeland Security shutdown and cyberattack risks Sleeper cell and domestic terror threats Republican messaging failures and solutions for coordinated communication NYPD heroism against ISIS-inspired attackers in NYC Critique of Mayor Zoran Emdani's response to terror threats Threats to Trump administration officials and political violence Importance of messaging and public awareness in national security Social Media Post ⚠️ Gas prices, Iran, and NYC terror threats — are we missing the bigger story? Tara breaks down alleged Democratic coordination with Iran, DHS shutdowns, sleeper cells, and the heroic NYPD officers who risked their lives in New York City. Messaging matters — and America's safety depends on it.

Two homemade bombs land in a crowd outside the New York City mayor's home, investigators say the suspects were inspired by ISIS propaganda, and yet the first wave of coverage somehow tries to make the story feel smaller than it is. We lay out the timeline from the NYPD press conference, then compare it to what viewers were told in tweets and teases, including the walk-backs that only arrived after backlash. If you've ever wondered how media bias and misinformation can appear without anyone saying “we're lying,” this is a real-world example you can follow line by line.From there, we zoom out to the bigger cost of narrative drift: public confidence. A new poll asks whether the United States has been a force for good in the world, and the partisan split is stark. We talk about what happens when huge audiences live inside different media ecosystems, why that shapes civic identity, and how to build a healthier “trust but verify” news diet without pretending any country is perfect.We also hit two high-impact political stories. In New Mexico politics, we break down the Democratic pre-primary convention results that put Deb Haaland firmly in front, plus what we're hearing about leaked polling that could test whether the Epstein-related controversy moves real voters. Overseas, we discuss Iran, Israel, and US strikes, the risks of hoping for regime collapse from the air, and Iran's most dangerous pressure valve: trying to disrupt oil traffic near the Strait of Hormuz and push gas prices higher. We close with the SAVE Act fight over voter ID and proof of citizenship, including why the Senate math and the filibuster may decide everything.Subscribe for Sunday's promised polling breakdown, share this with a friend who cares about media accountability, and leave a rating and review so more people can find the show.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

On this episode of The Finest Unfiltered, retired NYPD Lieutenants John Macari and Eric Dym sit down with former New York City Councilman Bob Holden to discuss the wave of legislation passed over the last several years that many believe has weakened the NYPD and undermined public safety in New York City. Holden, one of the few voices in the City Council who consistently pushed back against anti-police legislation, breaks down how laws like the How Many Stops Act, expanded oversight mandates, and other policing reforms have changed the way officers operate on the streets. The conversation dives into how political pressure, ideology, and City Hall decision-making have impacted police morale, officer recruitment, and the ability of the NYPD to proactively prevent crime and maintain order in America's largest city. John, Eric, and Bob discuss: • The specific NYC laws that critics say “handcuffed” police officers • How City Council politics shaped NYPD policy • The impact these laws have had on officer morale and retention • Whether New York City can restore proactive policing • What reforms are needed to rebuild public safety This is a candid conversation about policing, politics, and the future of public safety in New York City.

On the Executive Perspective episode 55, Ron and Rob delve into the NYPD's preparedness and response to the ISIS-inspired improvised explosive device (IED) attack in New York City over the weekend. They scrutinize the limitations imposed on the NYPD by the 2023 Protest Settlement Agreement signed by Mayor Eric Adams and now enforced by Mayor Mamdani. They question how these limitations hindered the NYPD's ability to maintain public order leading up to the bombing attempts. They will give their executive perspective on the response by the NYPD and its leadership in the aftermath of the attempted bombing attack Furthermore, they explore the potential consequences of Mayor Mamdani's persistent push to disband the Strategic Response Group (SRG), the NYPD's specialized unit responsible for public order and counter-terrorism. They raise concerns about the increased risk to citizens and law enforcement if the SRG is disbanded. The conversation will also examine Mayor Mamdani's response to the attack, particularly his delayed public appearance after two days and his refusal to publicly identify the Islamic extremists responsible. Initially, he blamed the “white supremacist” Jake Lang for the incident. Additionally, they will discuss Police Commissioner Tisch's statement at a press conference with federal authorities, where she affirmed that the NYPD will not change its approach to policing 1st amendment activities (protests) in the future. The members of the NYPD place their lives on the line every day they “go out the door.” Is the NYPD and NYC leadership doing everything in their power to ensure their safety?

This week's French Connection podcast episode covers one of the most thrilling and morally complicated films of 1971. Ryan, Mike, and Greg revisit The French Connection on Movie of the Year. William Friedkin's Best Picture winner changed what American cinema thought a hero could look like. In addition, this episode features a special Gene Hackman career retrospective.Released in 1971, the film follows New York City detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle — based on real NYPD detective Eddie Egan, with partner Sonny Grosso inspiring the character of Russo. Doyle pursues a massive heroin operation with little regard for the law or the people around him. As a result, the film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. It remains one of the defining films of the New Hollywood era.This Movie of the Year podcast episode is one of the most anticipated of the 1971 season. Before diving in, check out our recent episodes on The Last Picture Show and A Clockwork Orange.Joining the Taste Buds for this episode is special guest C. Craig Patterson A screenwriter, director, and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. An alum of Columbia University, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and USC's School of Cinematic Arts, Patterson brings serious cinematic credentials to the table. His short film Fathead won the Cannes Film Festival Best Student Short Award and earned an NAACP Image Award nomination. His scripts have been recognized by the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, The Black List, and the Academy's Nicholl Fellowship. Patterson also directed the critically acclaimed Roy Wood Jr. comedy special Imperfect Messenger for Paramount+. With projects currently in development at Paramount and Epic Games, he is one of the most exciting emerging filmmakers working today — and exactly the kind of guest who makes a film like The French Connection worth revisiting.The French Connection 1971 Podcast: Popeye Doyle — Hero, Antihero, or Something Worse?The central tension of this French Connection 1971 podcast discussion is what to make of Popeye Doyle. Gene Hackman plays him as a force of nature — relentless, racist, reckless, and completely compelling. He is not a good man, and he is barely a good cop. Nevertheless, the film frames his obsession as heroic, his instincts as genius, and his victory as worth celebrating.Ryan, Mike, and Greg dig into what Friedkin and screenwriter Ernest Tidyman were doing with Doyle. Is the film a critique of the kind of law enforcement he represents? Or is it simply in love with him? The answer is probably both. Ultimately, that ambiguity is what makes the character so difficult and so fascinating fifty years later.The Real Detectives Behind the StoryThe real detectives, Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso, consulted on the film and even appear in small roles. Consequently, knowing the story is grounded in a real investigation makes Doyle's behavior harder to dismiss. These were not fictional excesses invented for dramatic effect, and the panel takes that seriously.Gene Hackman won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this role, beating out Peter Finch, Walter Matthau, George C. Scott, and Topol. Furthermore, it remains one of the most celebrated performances of the 1970s. The panel uses this episode to look back at Hackman's broader career and make the case for where he stands in the pantheon.For more on Gene Hackman's career, visit the Internet Movie Database.William Friedkin and the New Hollywood Crime FilmDirector William Friedkin approached The French Connection as a documentary-style thriller. He shot on location in New York City with handheld cameras and natural light, refusing to glamorize either the city or its characters. As a result, the film feels unlike almost anything else from 1971 — raw, kinetic, and deeply uncomfortable.The Taste Buds explore how Friedkin's direction shaped the film's identity. Most notably, the legendary car chase under the elevated train tracks in Brooklyn is widely considered one of the greatest action sequences ever filmed. Friedkin shot it on live New York City streets without fully stopping traffic, with a camera mounted to the front of the car. For critical analysis of the chase, the Criterion Collection offers essential reading.Friedkin After The French ConnectionJust two years later, Friedkin directed The Exorcist, cementing his place as one of the defining filmmakers of the decade. The panel discusses what the two films share and what The French Connection reveals about Friedkin's sensibility. In both cases, his camera feels like it is barely keeping up with reality — and that is entirely by design.For more on Friedkin's influence on American cinema, visit the American Film Institute.The French Connection Podcast Discussion: Justice and Its LimitsAt its core, The French Connection is about the gap between justice and the law. Popeye Doyle operates outside the rules, endangers civilians, shoots an unarmed man in the back, and ultimately fails to bring the main target to justice. Despite all of this, the film presents his pursuit not as tragedy but as the cost of doing business.Ryan, Mike, and Greg examine what the film says about the American justice system in 1971 — a moment of profound national disillusionment. Vietnam, the civil rights movement, and the early signs of Watergate were all in the air. Meanwhile, the "good guys" in this film are not good, the "bad guys" are not caught, and the audience is asked to root for the pursuit anyway.Race and Policing in The French ConnectionMoreover, the film's racial politics are impossible to ignore. Doyle's racism is presented as character texture rather than moral failing, and the film never fully grapples with the implications of the policing it depicts. That discomfort is an important part of the conversation this week.For historical context on the real case, visit the DEA's history of the French Connection.Gene Hackman Best Performances: A Career RetrospectiveThis episode includes a special segment on Gene Hackman's best performances. The Taste Buds make their case for the defining Hackman roles and debate his greatest work. In particular, they discuss what made him such an unusual screen presence: his everyman quality, his capacity for rage, and his refusal to tell the audience how to feel about his characters.His breakthrough came in Bonnie and Clyde in 1967, and his Oscar followed here in The French Connection. Subsequently, classics like The Conversation, Mississippi Burning, Unforgiven, and The Royal Tenenbaums cemented one of the most extraordinary bodies of work in American cinema. This segment celebrates an actor who never got quite enough credit for how good he really was.Why The French Connection 1971 Still MattersMore than fifty years later, The French Connection remains essential viewing. Beyond its technical achievements, it functions as a moral document — capturing a specific American mood: exhausted, suspicious, and uncertain about its own institutions.Ultimately, this French Connection podcast episode revisits the film as a living argument about power, obsession, and the stories we tell about law enforcement. It asks hard questions, and this episode doesn't let them off the hook.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 1971If you enjoyed this episode, check out the rest of the Movie of the Year 1971 series:The Last Picture Show — Bogdanovich, nostalgia, and a dying Texas townA Clockwork Orange — Kubrick, free will, and the limits of the stateBrowse all Movie of the Year episodesFAQ: The French Connection Podcast and FilmWhat is The French Connection podcast episode about?Ryan, Mike, and Greg discuss William Friedkin's 1971 Best Picture winner.

In this edition of The Update Journal, I try to solve a mystery even Scooby-Doo might struggle with: what exactly was The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, and why does it feel like a fever dream from 1985? Then the tone shifts—just a little—as we look back six years to the day the world basically pressed the pause button, when sports stopped, travel bans began, and suddenly everyone became an amateur epidemiologist. And finally, in Brandon's Take, we'll tackle the great generational divide: snow days. For students, it's a magical winter holiday. For staff? It's “working from home,” which mostly means answering a couple emails while standing in front of the fridge wondering if this technically counts as productivity. Expect nostalgia, mild existential reflection, and the realization that adulthood has completely ruined snow days. ❄️In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, Two former NYPD officers who prosecutors say stole a brothel key and then robbed and groped a sex worker are now facing federal charges after their initial state charges were dismissed on a technicality.A Honduran migrant was arrested for randomly shoving two strangers — including an 83-year-old man — onto Upper East Side subway tracks over the weekend, according to authorities.And major storms whipped up tornadoes in parts of Illinois and Indiana that leveled homes, killing at least two people and injuring others, and another round of rain, hail and strong winds made its way through the region, authorities say.

Trump's Iran campaign continues with thousands of targets destroyed and Iran's navy largely sunk. Gerry says the media is desperate for the war to fail as fringe analysts claim the U.S. is losing. Two ISIS-inspired teens from Pennsylvania are arrested after throwing homemade bombs at protesters in New York City. NYPD officers tackle the suspect while he carries another explosive, likely preventing a deadly attack.

Of the nearly 3.8 million 911 calls routed to the NYPD in 2025, only about a quarter were reporting a crime in progress and more than 500,000 involved “harassment, verbal conflicts, or disputes between two or more parties.” This comes from a new analysis by the Vera Institute of Justice. Daniela Gilbert, who directs the Vera Institute Redefining Public Safety initiative and served on the Mamdani administration's Community Safety transition team, talks about the analysis and argues that many of these calls could potentially be handled by alternative responders. Photo: Mayor Zohran Mamdani holds a press conference at Gracie Mansion with New York City Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch on March 9, 2026.

When an 84-year-old woman vanishes from her home in the middle of the night, leaving behind signs of blood and a struggle, every early decision investigators make is critical. Retired NYPD sergeant Joe Giacalone returns to Zone 7 to talk with Sheryl McCollum about the Nancy Guthrie investigation and the mistakes they believe set the case back from the start. Together, they walk through the investigative failures, why the ransom note narrative never rang true, and the steps investigators can still take to regain traction. Guest Bio Joe Giacalone is a retired NYPD sergeant and former commanding officer of the Bronx Cold Case Squad. He serves as an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and is the author of, "The Criminal Investigative Function: A Guide for New Investigators and The Cold Case Handbook." Giacalone also hosts True Crime with the Sarge and is a frequent media commentator on criminal investigations. About the Host Sheryl “Mac” McCollum is an active crime scene investigator for a Metro Atlanta Police Department and the director of the Cold Case Investigative Research Institute, which partners with colleges and universities nationwide. With more than 4 decades of experience, she has worked on thousands of cold cases using her investigative system, The Last 24/361, which integrates evidence, media, and advanced forensic testing. Her work on high-profile case include, in part, The Boston Strangler, Natalie Holloway, and Tupac Shakur. McCollum's work on the Moore’s Ford Bridge lynching led to her Emmy Award for "CSI: Atlanta" and induction into the National Law Enforcement Hall of Fame in 2023.

Tuesday's episode of The A.M. Update with Aaron McIntire tracks the fluid status of the Iran conflict, where President Trump touts over 5,000 targets struck, massive declines in Iranian missile and drone capabilities, and a potential short-term operation while holding back on devastating infrastructure hits. Conflicting signals emerge on the war's timeline, alongside reports of a new Supreme Leader named amid questions about his status and a regime using a cardboard cutout in ceremonies. Tensions rise with missile incidents near Turkey drawing sharp warnings from Erdogan, potential activation of Iranian sleeper cells abroad, and a dramatic single-day oil price drop from $116 to under $90 per barrel due to safer Strait of Hormuz transit and G7 reserve discussions. Domestic news covers a foiled IED plot by self-radicalized teens in New York linked to terrorism charges, renewed scrutiny on James Talarico with more unearthed comments, an NBC poll showing low favorability for AI and various political figures, a DOJ-Ticketmaster antitrust deal with divestitures and fines, and Qatar's foreign minister publicly expressing deep betrayal over Iran's attacks on Gulf neighbors, prompting analysis of the small nation's long-term triangulation strategy for survival.   A.M.

The discussion turns to September 11th and the profound impact it had on Jay's career and the nation. He recounts the morning he first heard about the attacks, the eerie drive through empty New York roads, and the reality facing first responders in the days that followed. Jay reflects on the brotherhood of law enforcement, the weight of losing colleagues over the years, and the lessons learned from decades of service. From his role as a union delegate advocating for fellow officers to his eventual retirement and new chapter in media, Jay explains how his voice found a new platform through podcasting and social media. It is a story about resilience, loyalty, and finding purpose long after the uniform comes off.
