For ten years, George Cassiday, known on Capitol Hill as the Man in the Green Hat, ran liquor to the United States Congress while four out of five of his customers voted dry. When Prohibition agents finally caught him in February of 1930, he took the hypocrites down with him.Jump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

THE TEA ☕We're back, we went to Washington D.C., and we finally figured out what a selfie stick says about your influencer era. (Spoiler: Kelly is thriving.)WHAT WENT DOWNFirst things first — Kelly got a Pro Max and we need to talk about it. The home button is gone, the cameras are fancier, and somewhere out there, Abby's iPod Nano is still buried under McDonald's wrappers in the back of a car. From there, we took a trip to Capitol Hill because we were invited to the Support is Care Summit — a nonpartisan advocacy effort focused on making sure cancer patients get whole person support, not just medical treatment. Financial help, childcare, caregiver resources, acupuncture — the stuff nobody tells you about when you're in the thick of it. Kelly got real about how her emotional support has actually been harder after treatment than during it, and hearing other people say the same thing out loud was a moment. If you or someone you love has been touched by cancer, please look up Support is Care. Also: Christi does not like acupuncture. She doesn't like foreign things in her body. We explored the full philosophical implications of this, given certain choices she has made. Moving on.Then we learned two Gen Z words from Clara and her friends on the way to a Florence and the Machine concert. You're welcome in advance. Chud (rude, ugly, unintelligent — basically, don't be one) and fit-mogging (when someone's outfit is so good it upstages yours). We are educating the masses.And THEN — we watched Vanderpump Villa, and we are here to expose it. Not recap it. Expose it. These people did not arrange those flowers. There is an entire production team. Nobody is casting someone hot enough to sleep with the guests AND talented enough to build a centerpiece, and we know this because WE LIVED IT. The cheese plates at Kelly's house? Producers. The stakes ($50K this season, $30K last) exist to make you care — same reason every Dance Moms episode had a pyramid. We see you, producers. We respect it.Stassi is there to drive the story because she has nothing to lose and knows exactly what she's doing — Lisa does the same thing but in an English accent and with more plausible deniability. Dad Talk does not need to be there. Jordan needs to kiss Marciano on the mouth for giving him a storyline. Hannah had a lot going on with that lip gloss. Somebody was always spying on somebody, and the cameras were already set up. Ekansu literally walked away from a fight and said they got what they wanted — girl, SAME. Also Stassi's sister Georgie showed up to announce she's moving to L.A. during the Dad Talk episode. Call us in six months when the spinoff trailer drops. Hosted on Acast.

David Goldfein, former Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, and Dr. Heather Wilson, former Secretary of the Air Force and current President of UTEP — Air Force Academy classmates who reunited at the Pentagon 35 years after their cadet days to write Get Back Up: Lessons in Servant Leadership.From Goldfein's F-16 shoot-down over Serbia to Wilson's battles on Capitol Hill and in the halls of the Pentagon, they have lived the kind of leadership not taught in classrooms — the kind forged in adversity, shaped by humility, and proven under pressure.In this conversation, they unpack what servant leadership actually looks like when the cost is real, why the most powerful leaders are the ones who put others first, and what the next generation of leaders needs to hear right now.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

The Eric Swalwell scandal is not just about one disgraced member of Congress. It is about a culture of protection on Capitol Hill, a media ecosystem that sits on damaging information, and a federal bureaucracy that demands trust while operating behind closed doors. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Congress, the media, and the bureaucracy are exposed as institutions that protect insiders until silence becomes politically impossible. The episode breaks down why the silence lasted so long, why Democrats moved when they did, and why every American should be skeptical of the sudden outrage now pouring out of Washington. What You Will Learn: Why the Swalwell scandal says more about Congress than it does about one member  How media outlets act as gatekeepers and release information only when it becomes politically useful  Why Democrats turned on Swalwell now and what it reveals about power in Washington  How the Fang Fang episode raises deeper questions about judgment, vulnerability, and national security  Why the FBI and political leadership owe the public real answers, not sanitized talking points

The White House says they will issue a statement on the mysterious cases of scientists either going missing or being found dead. This comes as an 11th scientist is found murdered. The 34 year was working on anti-gravity technology and was found in an apparent suicide not long after she said she feared for her life. What is going on? Catherine Herridge asks Anna Paulina Luna how bad the corruption on Capitol Hill is.     

Anna Paulina Luna tells CBS News the cleanup on Capitol Hill is just beginning, with Eric Swalwell the first shoe to drop. Why Ruben Gallego may be accused of sex trafficking as the Arizona senator scrambles to save his political star. Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer leaks a possible Supreme Court decision on the Voter Rights Act which may leave democrats down 19 House seats at the midterms.

Kennedy Jr. made the rounds on Capitol Hill to testify about the president's budget request, though the topics lawmakers wanted to discuss ran the gamut. Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, Emmarie Huetteman of KFF Health News, and Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine join KFF Health News' Mary Agnes Carey to discuss these stories and more.

Congress is holding a private meeting with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein as part of an expanding bipartisan probe into how the Department of Justice handled Epstein's prosecution. The House Oversight Committee, which has already subpoenaed former officials including Alex Acosta and demanded Epstein-related Suspicious Activity Reports from the Treasury Department, is positioning these survivor meetings as critical to uncovering the full scope of failures and possible cover-ups. Lawmakers want to hear directly from those most affected, not only about Epstein's crimes but also about how institutions may have ignored or mishandled their pleas for justice.Alongside the closed-door session, several survivors are also expected to appear publicly at a Capitol press conference organized by Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This event will push for greater transparency, including the release of sealed files tied to Epstein's network. Survivors and their advocates argue that without disclosure, accountability remains out of reach, and they warn that any attempt to bury these records would deepen public distrust. The coordinated private testimony and public advocacy signal a renewed, aggressive phase of congressional scrutiny into Epstein's ties, finances, and protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House lawmakers to meet with Jeffrey Epstein's victims amid probe of 'suspicious' financial transactionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, Brittany Packnett Cunningham sits down with creator Arielle Fodor—better known as Mrs. Frazzled—to unpack how a small group of women publicized the alleged sexual misconduct of former congressman and California gubernatorial hopeful Eric Swalwell.

Plus, group chat bestie Dr. David Johns joins Brittany to break down this week's UNtrending news—from Hungary to New Jersey. To subscribe to The Meteor: wearethemeteor.com/newsletters

Trump heads to Las Vegas to sell his tax agenda, but Republicans worry his message isn't breaking through — and that could spell trouble for the midterms. Meanwhile, a striking Senate vote and a New Jersey special election underscore a major shift inside the Democratic Party on Israel, especially among younger voters. RFK Jr. returns to Capitol Hill for a marathon stretch of hearings as speculation swirls about his political future. And yes — there's a bizarre new chapter in RFK Jr. lore that has everyone talking.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the Department of Justice has fully complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, insisting that “everything” related to Jeffrey Epstein has been released. According to the DOJ, officials reviewed more than six million pages of material and ultimately disclosed roughly 3.5 million documents, including thousands of videos and images. Blanche argued that any material not released was either irrelevant to Epstein or legally required to be withheld, particularly to protect victim identities and sensitive personal information. He also pushed back on claims of a cover-up, saying members of Congress are free to review unredacted materials in person if they wish.Despite those assurances, tensions escalated on Capitol Hill as Rep. Robert Garcia threatened contempt proceedings against former Attorney General Pam Bondi for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena tied to the handling of the Epstein files. Bondi, who was recently fired, declined to appear for a scheduled deposition, prompting accusations that she is evading oversight. Her past claims—such as stating she had a “client list” tied to Epstein—have since been disputed by administration officials, adding to bipartisan criticism of how the files were handled and released. If Congress moves forward, a contempt vote could carry potential legal consequences, including fines or jail time, further intensifying the political and legal battle surrounding the Epstein disclosures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DOJ insists it's 'released everything' on Jeffrey Epstein as Dem threatens Pam Bondi with contempt

In this latest SZD/Extra Points Sports Business Hour with guest Matt Brown, Alex and Richard talk about several things you've seen in the news. Find Matt at Extra Points, and listen to our conversation here: * 0:45: Learfield, the college sports multimedia rights company, sold to a (new) private equity owner in a $2 billion deal. This is one of the largest deals in college sports history, but for what? Matt helps us understand the importance of companies like Learfield and its rival Playfly, and how they affect both our favorite teams and their financial statements. Will this deal change much about the college sports landscape, though? It doesn't seem like a slam dunk. * 19:45: The Trump administration's college sports executive order is fake and made up, but somehow, that's not the same thing as “meaningless.” It also might destroy any potential for a serious legislative solution to college sports' problems. Matt tells us what he's learned from Capitol Hill sources. * 32:37: Did the Big Ten office do a make-work for Wisconsin's AD so that the Badgers could get someone better in that job? The answer isn't “definitely not.” * 42:34: The NCAA makes an example of … Iowa. * 47:35: Audience question 1: What would be the pros and cons of media rights consolidation?* 52:04: Audience question 2: Which schools are doing fun and different things with their House settlement allocations?

This week I'm sharing the next installment from the terrific day-long conference convened by the Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs (ACF) at Johns Hopkins SAIS on April 3rd in Washington — "The China Debate We're Not Having: Politics, Technology, and the Road Ahead." Last week's episode featured Jessica Chen Weiss's opening remarks and the first panel, "What China Wants." This week, I've got the companion panel — "What Does the United States Want?" — which I think pairs beautifully with that first session, and which takes up a question that's arguably harder and more uncomfortable to answer. The panel is moderated by SAIS Dean James Steinberg, who served as Deputy National Security Advisor in the Clinton administration and Deputy Secretary of State under Obama — and who keeps this moving with real sharpness. He's joined by Matt Duss, Executive Vice President at the Center for International Policy, who starts things off with a bracing observation: the United States does not know what it wants. The old foreign policy consensus has shattered, he argues, and neither the Trump administration nor the Democratic establishment has produced a coherent replacement. He locates the most interesting thinking in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, where he hopes the 2028 primary will force some of these hard questions into the open. Katherine Thompson, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute who previously served in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill, brings a military-strategic lens. She makes a sharp case that the new National Defense Strategy, for all its imperfections, at least opens the door to an honest conversation about trade-offs — something Washington has been allergic to. If you're going to prioritize deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, she argues, you have to actually give things up elsewhere, and the Iran situation is making that tension impossible to ignore. Jonas Nahm, the Andrew W. Mellon Associate Professor at SAIS who served in the Biden administration, reframes economic competition with China in refreshingly concrete terms. Rather than abstract great-power framing, he identifies three specific buckets — affordability and energy, technological catch-up, and manufacturing competitiveness — where Chinese capacity could actually help solve American problems, if we had the political imagination to let it. And Leslie Vinjamuri, president and CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, brings striking new polling data showing a 40-percentage-point swing in American favorability toward China since 2024 — now at 53 percent — driven largely by Democrats but with movement among Republicans too. She situates this in the fading of pandemic-era hostility and the absence of sustained anti-China rhetoric from the current administration, and adds an invaluable perspective on how utterly confused America's allies are about what Washington actually expects of them. The conversation ranges across Taiwan and strategic ambiguity, whether allies arming up in the Indo-Pacific helps or hurts, the collapse of U.S. credibility on human rights, the future of dollar dominance, and whether the 2028 election will finally force a reckoning with these questions. It's a rich, candid discussion — and a reminder that the hardest debates in U.S.-China policy may not be about China at all.
