Jon Herold leans into a slow Friday with a mostly chat driven show, tackling former NSA Robert O'Brien's Fox News op ed arguing courts blocking White House ballroom construction endangers presidential security, and connecting it to his own theories about continuity of government bunkers. He plays a clip of Steve Bannon calling DOGE "fake and ghey" and questioning Bannon's push for a national emergency election declaration given his past comments urging people to vote despite believing elections are fraudulent. Other topics include Trump's deal to import cheap ground beef to lower prices, a new National Space Transportation policy memo, an ActBlue co founder pleading the Fifth before Congress, and some fun with AI business bots. Sponsor reads, meetup chatter, and a lively, laid back chat session round out a light Friday show ahead of tomorrow's Power Hour with Chris.

The question Reiner raises is disclosure rather than diagnosis. What the White House releases about an 80 year old president does not match what is visible in daily footage, and the public has no reliable way to check. Hawk's comparison is to the last two years of Joe Biden's term, when people around him managed his schedule and limited his exposure, and to Ronald Reagan's final years in office. Those situations drew sustained coverage. This one has not, and Hawk's argument is that energy and volume are being mistaken for health. He closes by inviting viewers with medical training to weigh in, which is worth taking as an invitation to discuss what has been publicly reported rather than to diagnose anyone from a screen.

As Washington continues debating the future of the Take Care of Our Veterans Act, one heartbreaking issue has emerged that deserves far greater public attention.

In her Washington Post op-ed, Sarah Ransome recounts how surviving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's trafficking operation did not end with their convictions but instead marked the beginning of another battle: being disbelieved, dismissed, and blamed because she was an adult when she was trafficked. Ransome explains that media coverage often centers on underage victims while overlooking the many women who, like her, were legally adults yet manipulated, coerced, and abused over prolonged periods. She describes the pervasive “gaslighting” she faced from society, friends, family, and authorities who questioned her credibility, branded her with derogatory labels, and minimized the horrors she endured simply because she was not a minor at the time. For years, this skepticism compounded her trauma, making recovery even more difficult and isolating her from support.Ransome also reflects on the catharsis of hearing Ghislaine Maxwell's shackles at sentencing and finally reading her impact statement in court, which she views as a significant step toward reclaiming her voice and self-worth. She emphasizes that justice remains incomplete while powerful enablers and institutions that allowed Epstein and Maxwell to operate with impunity have not been fully held accountable. Ransome urges broader recognition of all survivors — regardless of age at the time of abuse — and calls for societal change in how adult trafficking victims are understood and supported.to contact me:bobbyapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down a major Supreme Court ruling giving Presidents broad authority to fire agency appointees, plus a separate ruling on the Federal Reserve and a surprising decision allowing late-arriving mail-in ballots to be counted. Bryan also tackles a growing panic on Wall Street as New York's wealthy realize they have no real plan to stop the rise of Communist Democrats in Gotham, and he gives his blunt take on why it is too late to reverse the trend. From there, Bryan covers new developments in Iran, including a Pentagon database failure now blamed for the deadly strike on a girls school during Operation Epic Fury, and a vigilante known as "Mexican Batman" taking justice into his own hands against cartel-linked criminals. Plus, the US deepens its Pacific strategy with new underwater drones for the Philippines and a major deal pulling Vanuatu back from China's orbit, China's AI models close the gap with American systems, and Ford rehires veteran engineers after learning AI cannot fully replace human judgment.

1. HEART OF THE MATTER 1A. Record-Breaking Missionary Numbers — Pres. Oaks at New Mission Leader Seminar At the 2026 Seminar for New Mission Leaders (June 18–21, Provo MTC), President Dallin H. Oaks announced that the Church will soon have the largest number of full-time missionaries in its history, surpassing the current 87,000+ serving worldwide. The surge is driven by the first wave of 18-year-old sister missionaries (following the November policy change lowering the minimum age from 19) and the addition of 55 new missions in July, bringing the global total to 506. President Oaks outlined three characteristics defining the restored Church: (1) the fulness of doctrine (including eternal marriage between a man and a woman); (2) priesthood authority and keys; and (3) a unique testimony of Christ grounded in modern revelation and the First Vision. Sister Kristin Oaks also spoke, sharing six core truths missionaries teach.

New Hymn ‘Welcome Home’ — The Story Behind It Composer Andrea Brett explains how a 2017 encounter with Demetrius O’Neal — a recent convert serving as a greeter at a Spokane ward on a snowy Sunday morning — inspired her hymn ‘Welcome Home,’ now published in the new Hymns for Home and Church. Brett submitted 10 pieces when the global hymnbook was announced in 2018; this was the only one she’d written before the call. She received confirmation of its selection in February 2025, then had a full-circle moment when she and O’Neal sat near each other at the April 2025 General Conference as the Tabernacle Choir performed it. O’Neal’s name appears in the hymn’s tune name as a tribute. The hymn is now translated and sung globally. Source: Church Newsroom / Richie’s document 1C. Family History Records Are a ‘Sacred Thread’ — Elder Bragg at International Archivists Congress Elder Mark A. Bragg, General Authority Seventy and executive director of the Church’s Family History Department and FamilySearch International, was a keynote speaker at the III Congress of Archivists: Digital Archive Expo (DA-EXPO), held June 8–12 in Astana, Kazakhstan. He called family history records ‘the thin but sacred thread’ tying people together across generations, and argued that records are ‘in a very real sense, witnesses.’ Elder Bragg framed the digital revolution in genealogy in moral terms: for most of history, access to records was shaped by ‘proximity, resources and specialized knowledge,’ but today a record created in one place can be preserved in another, indexed in a third, and discovered by someone on the other side of the world. ‘The reach is astonishing. The speed is breathtaking. The possibilities are almost beyond measure.’ He also said that ‘access is an act of kindness’ — records only fulfill their divine purpose when they are found, understood, and used. His core message: preserving memory is an act of hope. ‘It says that the past is not dead to us and that the future deserves more than fragments.’ Source: Church News, June 17, 2026 Angle: Great ‘quiet but meaningful’ story — LDS family history going global and leveling the playing field for genealogy worldwide. 1D. America Gives — All 50 States Receive Food Donations The Church completed a milestone in its ‘America Gives’ initiative by delivering a shipping container of food to Hilo, Hawaii — marking all 50 states reached. The initiative aims to deliver 250 truckloads of food nationwide in 2026 to celebrate the U.S. 250th anniversary. In Hawaii, the food went to The Food Basket, distributed to 10 local nonprofits. Notably, 42% of residents on the island of Hawaii face food insecurity — the state’s highest rate. Rosie Rios, chair of America 250 and former U.S. Treasurer, praised the milestone. Local Methodist pastor Ted Lesnett said recipients will know ‘when they were hungry, someone cared.’ Source: Church Newsroom / Richie’s document 1E. Church Donates $250,000 NZD to Christchurch Anglican Cathedral Rebuild The Church announced a NZ$250,000 donation (June 19, 2026) toward the restoration of Christchurch’s iconic Anglican Cathedral — damaged in the February 2011 earthquake. Elder Peter F. Meurs (Pacific Area President) and Anglican Bishop Peter Carrell presided at the announcement. The donation comes as the project faces a $45M funding shortfall and an overall $219M budget. The Christchurch City Council has offered $15M contingent on government and Anglican Church matches. Notably, a New Zealand Buddhist community made a similar gift in 2023 — the LDS donation continues a cross-faith pattern of support for the heritage project.

Central America Humanitarian Blitz — 5 Projects, 500,000+ People In late May and early June 2026, the Church announced five humanitarian projects across Central America (with Sister J. Anette Dennis, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, representing the Church). Projects include: the ‘Windows of Light’ eyecare program in El Salvador (350,000+ screenings to date); safe water access for 250,000+ in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua (with UNICEF); nearly 750 computers/tablets donated to 66 educational institutions in Guatemala; and medical equipment for the ‘La Mascota’ children’s hospital in Nicaragua. Source: Church Newsroom, June 2026 2. FAITH & DOCTRINE 2A. President Christofferson in Philadelphia & Toronto A busy week of ministry for President D. Todd Christofferson: He offered the invocation at Becket’s Canterbury Medal Gala in Philadelphia (multifaith event celebrating religious liberty), alongside Elder Gary E. Stevenson and others. The group also visited the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall — fitting, ahead of America’s 250th. Christofferson reflected on D&C 101 and the Constitution’s purpose to protect ‘all flesh.’ From Philadelphia, he and Sister Christofferson traveled to Toronto, meeting 250+ missionaries in the Canada Toronto Mission weeks before it divides into three missions (Toronto West, Toronto East, and Montreal). He also spoke to hundreds of LDS youth, with one — Amelia Fischer — saying ‘no amount of words can describe how I felt tonight.’ Source: Richie’s document / Church Newsroom 2B. BYU Scholar Study: Religion Adds 7.6 Years to Life The BYU Wheatley Institute is releasing three reports analyzing 3,000 of the most scientifically rigorous studies (culled from 60,000+ papers by Duke University) on religion and health. Key findings: 33/34 studies show improved social health; 10/11 show improved mental health; 7/8 show improved physical health. Regular worshippers live an average of 7.6 years longer (up to 13.7 years longer for African Americans). A ‘landmark finding’: 256 studies show religion prevents/aids recovery from substance abuse (vs. 6 showing negative impact). Author Loren Marks recommends public health frameworks treat religious involvement like exercise recommendations. Source: Richie’s document 2C. Elder Soares Testifies in the Philippines Elder Ulisses Soares completed a two-week ministry in the Philippines (mid-May 2026), meeting with 600+ young single adults in Cebu, 450+ in Quezon City, and 340+ missionaries at the Philippines MTC. His recurring message: ‘His arms are extended to all of us.’ The Philippines has more than 905,000 Latter-day Saints — the Church’s fourth-largest national membership. Two new temples were also dedicated in the Philippines this month: the Davao Philippines Temple (Elder Renlund, May 3) and the Bacolod Philippines Temple (Elder Andersen, May 31). Source: Church Newsroom, June 17, 2026 3. CULTURE & CURIOSITIES 3A. LDS Author in Everyman’s Library — A First BYU biology and bioethics professor Steven L. Peck has reportedly become the first Latter-day Saint author included in the prestigious Everyman’s Library series (publishing canonical English fiction since 1906). His 2012 novella A Short Stay in Hell — a philosophical horror story about a Mormon man condemned to an afterlife library containing every possible book — went viral on BookTok and found a new audience. A literature historian noted: ‘No Mormon or Mormon-adjacent writer that I know of has ever been featured in this prestigious series.’ The Salt Lake Tribune covered the story, noting the irony that a theological horror story marks one of the most significant moments in LDS literary history. Source: Salt Lake Tribune / Richie’s document 3B. The Sasine Family — 40 Countries Before Age 1 Keith and Chelsea Sasine, an LDS couple stationed in Germany (Keith is an Army oral surgeon), made history in November 2025 by taking their youngest daughter Mia to 40 countries before her first birthday (March–November 2025), using a Honda Odyssey for European road trips. The family of six (including Izzy, 10; Abby, 9; and John, 4) attends local wards wherever they travel — a faith anchor the couple says strengthened their testimony and taught their kids the importance of the Sabbath globally. They’re planning a move to Colorado Springs in 2026. Source: Richie’s document 3C.

Rob also shares his perspective on the coexistence of traditional financial systems and digital assets, the role of digital wallets, and the regulatory developments that could shape adoption in the years ahead.Key insights:· How tokenization creates digital representations of financial assets· Why tokenization differs from cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin· How digital wallets could expand access to capital markets· Why traditional finance and digital assets may coexist· What role blockchain technology plays in financial infrastructure· How regulation could influence the future of tokenized markets

In this interview I talked with the Senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson. We discussed his bombshell report called, Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals. In this report, Senator Johnson and his team reveals that many people within the FDA and HHS, among other governmental organizations, knew that the COVID-19 vaccines were linked to strokes and even death as early as 2021. Senator Johnson's team found conclusive evidence that the United States Government, the majority of American media companies, and the monopolistic Pharmaceutical Companies worked together to suppress the truth about the Vaccines and, in turn, killed thousands of innocent American citizens. For being one of the most significant reports in modern history, you would think that this story would be on the front page of every major news network and newspaper in America – you would be wrong. Senator Johnson sent his own Op-Ed regarding this report to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and many other publications and, to nobodies surprise, he was turned down for publication. We think this had something to do with the fact that many, if not all, of these news companies are sponsored by Pfizer or Moderna and would rather keep in good standing with their financiers than tell the American people the truth about what happened during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We, at The Paradox Press, are not beholden to the Medical Mafia and for that reason, we have the ability to tell the truth. I hope you enjoy.

Today, Jess, John, Les, and Amy examine the fate of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) as it tumbles towards its' first lapse since 2008. Both chambers have stalled on reauthorization amid disputes over acting DNI Bill Pulte's nomination and a broader debate over whether existing reforms are sufficient to prevent the authority from being turned against American citizens.Are the reforms currently on the books enough to protect civil liberties while preserving the counterterrorism capabilities that 702 provides?

As judges continue to weigh in, President Trump is finding that despite his litigious efforts, he can't always get what he wants. Mary and Andrew begin this week with the latest fallout from his $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, which is now under judicial review after a group of federal judges filed a motion arguing that the original lawsuit that prompted the fund was “itself a fraud on the court.” This prompted the news, first reported by Axios, that the Trump administration would abandon the fund altogether. Mary and Andrew tie this into another instance in which the administration is losing in the courts, with Judge Mehta's decision refusing to dismiss the indictment of Oath Keepers' leader Stewart Rhodes, among others whose sentences were commuted. They then move to a ruling ordering the removal of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center facade, a setback in his attempt to reshape the renowned preforming arts center. And after an update on the criminal case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, Andrew shares some insight into his recent New York Times op-ed which offers a path to stop vindictive prosecutions altogether.

There's SO much information about wellness hacks, it's hard to know what's worth trying. And then there are pharmaceuticals like GLP-1 medications that seem like the magic bullet for metabolic health. With all of these, are we setting ourselves up for the next public health crisis? Before you or someone you love considers a pharmaceutical or biohack, listen to this episode. Jenn Trepeck of Salad with a Side of Fries breaks down why the wellness industry deserves more credit than mainstream media gives it, and why pharmaceutical solutions like GLP-1 medications and statins cannot carry the full weight of America's health crisis. From affordable, healthy eating strategies to the alarming long-term risks of overreliance on a single hormone pathway, Jenn makes a compelling, research-backed case for a more comprehensive approach to metabolic health. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why GLP-1 medications may be following the same trajectory as statin drugs, and what that historical pattern reveals about where we are headed with metabolic health and long-term outcomes.✅ How eating in season and shopping at ethnic grocery stores can make whole foods nutrition genuinely affordable, healthy eating for more people, regardless of income level.✅ The critical connection between reduced food intake on GLP-1 medications, nutrient deficiency, and the alarming rise of osteoporosis and cancer risk, especially for younger populations and children.✅ Why fat cell memory and the Minnesota Starvation Experiment both reveal that weight loss without lifestyle medicine and nutritional education is unlikely to produce lasting results.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into real-life wellness and weight loss, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Why mainstream media voices unfairly dismiss the wellness industry05:50 A critique of how major journalists cover GLP-1 medications without consulting balanced sources or opposing viewpoints13:33 The argument that pharmaceutical solutions have become the default answer instead of addressing the root causes of metabolic health issues22:29 Discussion of income, access, and why processed foods are cheaper than whole foods nutrition is a structural public health failure30:37 Practical tips for affordable healthy eating, including seasonal eating and shopping at ethnic grocery stores for better quality produce34:39 The GLP-1 conversation begins in earnest, with Jenn explaining why she calls them our generation's statin drug37:02 A deep dive into statin drug statistics, heart disease rates, and why more prescriptions have not produced better cardiovascular health outcomes41:14 Jenn outlines her predictions, including rising osteoporosis risk, bone density loss, and increased colorectal cancer risk tied to low fiber intake44:31 The role of fat cell memory, the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, and why GLP-1 medications without lifestyle medicine will not produce lasting changeKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Craig Unger recounts the investigative origins of the October Surprise story, which gained mainstream credibility after a 1991 New York Times op-ed by former National Security Council member Gary Sick. Working for Esquire, Ungercollaborated with fellow journalists like Bob Parry to uncover rumors of Republican interference in the hostage crisis. A central figure in their investigation was Ari Ben-Menashe, a rogue Israeli intelligence operative who claimed that Bill Casey met with Iranians in Madrid in July 1980. Ben-Menashe alleged that Casey negotiated a deal to provide Iranwith weapons in exchange for delaying the release of the American hostages until after the election, a clear violation of the Logan Act. Furthermore, Ben-Menashe claimed a follow-up meeting occurred in Paris in October 1980 involving George H.W. Bush to "seal the deal." Unger emphasizes that investigating this world of illegal arms dealers was professionally risky, often leading to accusations of being a "conspiracy nut." (3/8)1904

Voice Of GO(r)D is proud to bring you a conversation with Mr Stephen Ruhe, logistician and scion of an Ohio trucking family and also the proprietor of a new historical documentary project called Semi Historic, which seeks to examine the early history of the trucking industry in America and find lessons applicable today.https://www.semihistoric.com/From the website -”Semi-Historic is my love letter to the truckers and the legends who built America's supply chain. As the third-generation of a family trucking company, I am creating this archive to finally give our industry the rich history and respect it deserves.”Stephen gives us an overview of what he hopes to achieve with the project, as well as a few anecdotes from his look into the history of trucking in America, which takes us from its birth in Ohio to the intersection of migration, the prohibition era, the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, and onwards to today, where we find that there is indeed nothing new under the sun. Loopholes and shenanigans derived from the difference between public and private carriers are also highlighted.You can find Stephen on Twitter/X - https://x.com/StephenRuheAs mentioned in the intro, I've been busy as of late with various interviews and presentations regards my own examination of the recent history of trucking. My description of a silent war on the truckers who drive the industry has resonated with more than a few people, and I was asked to join C-Span, and give a presentation at Cornell University here in my new home town of Ithaca, NY.https://www.c-span.org/program/washington-journal/gord-magill-on-end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/677222https://law-cornell.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=3efee1ae-5175-460a-b123-b43a00e31c5aFriend of this podcast and FreightWaves CEO Craig Fuller was recently invited to write an Op-Ed for the New York Times, and boy does it ever said like a compressed version of what I have been saying for years.https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/opinion/trucking-safety.htmlIf you haven't yet, you can order a hardcover, e-reader, or audio version of my book, End of The Road - Inside The War on Truckers from my publishers at Creed and Culture -https://creedandculture.com/books/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/Thanks for listening, and as always, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

EPISODE 196 | Welcome back to Homeschool Your Way, where the podcast explores all the different ways families can create an education that truly fits their kids. In this episode, host Janna Koch is joined by Matt Bowen, co-author of OpEd, for a conversation about open education, his background as a public-school teacher, and the journey that led his own family to explore new possibilities for their children.Matt brings a particularly interesting perspective because he has seen education from more than one side. He spent years in the public-school world, but once he became a parent, the questions surrounding learning and schooling became much more personal. Like so many families, Matt and his family began thinking more deeply about what would truly work best for their children, rather than simply following what was expected or conventional.Together, Janna and Matt discuss that transition, how hisperspective shifted from teacher to parent, and how his family began exploring different educational avenues in search of the right fit. It is a thoughtful and encouraging conversation about staying open, following children's needs, and giving families permission to think beyond the traditional path.ABOUT OUR GUEST | For over 30 years, Matt Bowman has been reimagining education for the digital age. As a former sixth-grade teacher turned tech executive and education entrepreneur, Matt saw firsthand how the traditional education system often fails to meet the unique needs of individual learners.Together with his wife Amy, Matt founded OpenEd (formerly My Tech High), which has served more than 100,000 student enrollments across multiple states, including many military families worldwide. Their approach focuses on blending personalized learning with technology and entrepreneurship skills, giving students the flexibility to learn in ways that work best for them.Matt holds multiple degrees in education and is an alumnus of Stanford's Executive Business Management program.He lives in the mountains of Utah, where he and Amy enjoy spending time with their five married children and four grandchildren (and counting!)Thanks to show sponsor BookShark.

This is an Op-Ed written by Renaldo McKenzie published on 4/13/2026 in The Neoliberal Post and The Neoliberal Journal. This is the audio copy.The UN and Its Security Council Are Becoming IrrelevantBy Renaldo McKenzieThe UN and its Security Council is becoming irrelevant today. Not because the idea has failed, but because its members have. They violate their own treaties, ignore their own agreements, and then pretend that the rules still bind others. This is the danger—when powerful states act without restraint, they set precedents that weaken the very system meant to hold them accountable.There is a story developing that China is planning, or may have already begun, sending weapons to Iran—an apparent violation of the arms embargo imposed by the UN. But here lies the contradiction: how does the international community hold China accountable when the United States and Israel have themselves violated UN principles? They have engaged in military actions against Iran and Lebanon, actions that have resulted in civilian deaths and infringed upon the sovereignty of other nations—without meaningful consultation with the UN.Russia, too, stands in violation through its war with Ukraine, yet it justifies its actions by pointing to what it sees as the hypocrisy of the West. It argues that the UN framework has already been compromised, that selective enforcement has replaced universal principle. And in this fractured order, each nation finds its own justification.Iran, under attack, asserts its right to defend itself. The United States sends weapons to Ukraine in the name of defending sovereignty. And now China may see itself as doing the same for Iran. This is the dangerous cycle we have created—one where every violation becomes a justification for the next.This is not just instability. This is how a world war begins.The United Nations was established to prevent a world war—to create a system where disputes could be resolved through law rather than force. But when its most powerful members act outside of its charter, when they refuse to hold each other accountable, they do not just weaken the UN—they dismantle it.The United States must be held accountable. Israel must stop its bombing campaigns in Lebanon. Russia must end its war against Ukraine. These are not optional demands—they are necessary if the UN is to have any meaning left.But the damage is already done. The precedents set by the United States, Russia, and Israel have opened the door for others. And now, as China considers its own actions, we are forced to confront an uncomfortable question: is China violating the UN charter, or is it simply operating within the broken logic that others have already established?When rules are applied selectively, they are no longer rules—they are tools of convenience. And when the system meant to prevent global conflict becomes a stage for power politics, then we are no longer maintaining peace—we are inching closer to chaos.The UN was meant to stop a world war. But if this path continues, it may instead become a witness to one.Renaldo McKenzie is Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and the upcoming book: Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations.Renaldo is President of The Neoliberal Corporation.

Happy Thursday, you pop culture junkies.  This week, we dive into the Timothée Chalamet "high art" discourse, the ongoing beef between fast-food giants, and a ten-year-old taking Paris by storm. Plus, we're revisiting the ‘90s through the lens of modern TV and questionable finance interviews. On This Week's Menu: • The Chalamet Controversy: We break down Timothée's recent comments regarding the ballet and opera. Was it a sincere and rare misstep or a moment where his true colors truly come out? We look at how the internet turned his low-brow take into a high-brow meme. • The Burger Wars Heat Up: Following the McDonald's CEO's "faux pas" last week, the "Burger CEOs" have entered the chat. We analyze their strategic responses and the surprising consumer trends emerging from the corporate shade. • The 4th Grade Prodigy: Meet Max Alexander. At just 10 years old, this Los Angeles native is the youngest designer at Paris Fashion Week. We discuss his meteoric rise and why the fashion elite are actually taking him seriously. • Interview Magazine's Finance Bro Era: We take a peek into the recent feature on "Finance Bros" and the... interesting fashion choices they showcased. Is it satire, or just a stark look at a certain tax bracket? • 90s Nostalgia & Love Story: The aesthetic of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is back in a big way. We also discuss Daryl Hannah's candid response to how she was portrayed in the hit show Love Story and why we can't stop looking backward. Daryl Hannah's OpEd in the NYT (gifted article): https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/opinion/daryl-hannah-love-story-jfk-jr.html?unlocked_article_code=1.SVA.j39h.--K5DMnOXB7i&smid=nytcore-ios-share This week's newsletter: https://popculturemondays.com/2026/03/09/arias-on-pointe/

Today we have a special episode of Mea Culpa with our old friend Frank Figliuzzi. Frank is a former assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, where he served for 25 years as a special agent and directed all espionage investigations across the entire government. Frank is a regular contributor for NBC News and MSNBC, and also the author of the national bestseller “The FBI Way: Inside the Bureau's Code of Excellence.” And check out his most recent OP-Ed on the MSNBC opinion page, entitled “There's a Reason Why Hoarding Classified Documents is a Crime." Frank breaks down for us the redacted version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit and what it possibly means for the Mandarin Mussolini.

Many of our political leaders invoke the Bible, but Rabbi Shai Held says many don't understand one of its most important commands. Rabbi Held argues that Scripture's call to love immigrants was a "moral revolution" and says the mistreatment of immigrants is an abomination in God's eyes. Skye interviews Father James Martin about his new memoir, "Work in Progress," about his journey from the business world to the priesthood. They also discuss the link between Jesuit spirituality and Protestant theology, and they get nerdy about Jesus and temple theology.

In this special episode, Paul Rieckhoff reads an op-ed he co-authored with John Opdycke that challenges the narrative that independent voters don't matter. Despite new Gallup polling showing independents now represent 45% of all American voters—the highest number recorded in modern history—the political establishment continues to dismiss them as "leaners" who are really just partisans in disguise, or "spoilers" who siphon votes from legitimate candidates. Paul unpacks why this dismissive narrative persists and traces it back to Ross Perot's explosive 1992 presidential campaign, when 20 million Americans went off-script and forced both parties to pay attention. The Perot movement produced a balanced budget, the Contract with America, and Clintonian triangulation—and terrified the DC establishment in the process. Today, 10,000 Americans switch their registration from Democrat or Republican to Independent every single week. Five independents are running for U.S. Senate this fall, with over 100 independent candidates expected across all levels of government. A majority of Americans now support open primaries that allow non-party voters to participate in publicly funded elections. The independent movement isn't just growing—it's ready to lead. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

We break down the DOJ's disastrous failure to redact victim information, the political spin flying in every direction, and the first criminal investigation sparked by the release. Plus: Trump's renewed obsession with relitigating the 2020 election, federal agencies being weaponized to “prove” conspiracies, Tulsi Gabbard's very sketchy side quest, and why all of this is quietly poisoning confidence in the 2026 midterms. Then we shift gears with a big, slightly uncomfortable realization: this is the year millennials officially got old (at least according to this Op-Ed). We talk “established adulthood,” saying no without guilt, going to bed early on purpose, being called “Ms.” by a 20-something, and the weird limbo of feeling young while society insists otherwise. We unpack how aging feels internally versus how it's treated culturally, especially online, and why many of us just… never went back to posting the way we did pre-COVID. Then we ask our PALs a deceptively simple question: what's something you didn't realize was optional until you saw someone just not do it? From not explaining your “no,” to ignoring unexpected door knocks, renegotiating deadlines, abandoning books mid-read, leaving places you don't want to be, and realizing you don't actually have to climb the corporate ladder, we talk boundaries, burnout, and the freedom that comes with unlearning expectations.

THE ORIGINS OF THE INVESTIGATION AND THE ALLEGATIONS OF ARI BEN-MENASHE Colleague Craig Unger. Unger details how the "October Surprise" investigation began, sparked by a 1991 op-ed from former National Security Council member Gary Sick. Unger, then working with Esquire and later Newsweek, collaborated with investigative reporter Bob Parry to uncover the truth. A key but controversial source was Ari Ben-Menashe, a rogue Israeli intelligence operative who claimed that Bill Casey met with Iranians in Madrid in July 1980 to negotiate a delay in the hostages' release in exchange for arms. Ben-Menashe further alleged that George H.W. Bush traveled to Paris in October 1980 to finalize the deal. Although these sources were often dismissed as disreputable, Unger argues that investigating illegal arms dealing necessitates speaking to operatives within that shadow world, despite the risk to a journalist's career.

Costly IRA Conversion Warning & the Hidden Billions Americans Are Leaving Behind In this episode, fiduciary financial advisor Wes Moss tackles a piece of financial advice that he calls "lunacy" and "insanity" – a recent Op-Ed arguing that retirees should convert their entire Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in a single year. Wes explains why this academic advice is a dangerous real-world strategy, warning listeners about the potential for a massive tax bill that could reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. Also, Wes addresses a sinister issue in retirement savings: billions of dollars in "forgotten" 401(k) balances. Wes warns that this money is often parked in cash or a low-interest money market, missing out on decades of critical growth.
