Pags dives into the stunning Luigi Mangione development after Mangione pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges and openly admitted in court that he shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Pags GOES OFF: If he's admitting to the killing, how are we talking about stalking charges—and what happens now with the separate New York murder case? The callers have plenty to say before Free Speech Friday takes a hilarious detour into traveling, food and the crew just having some fun. Then Pags tackles a wild new concern out of Washington: AI chatbots are increasingly being used to help do the work of Congress, but who's actually watching the machines? Finally, President Trump hits Long Island alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Todd Blanche to tout newly released FBI numbers showing violent crime fell sharply in 2025. Pags brings you his favorite moments as Trump, Patel and Blanche make the case that the administration's crime strategy is working—and Trump has plenty to say about just how much safer he believes America is becoming.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was one of the faces of the United States' Covid-19 response, testified before the Senate Homeland Committee at the end of July. He didn't say much beyond his opening statement, and invoked his Fifth Amendment right over 100 times. Last week, that committee passed a resolution to hold him in contempt of Congress for repeatedly pleading the Fifth—even after receiving a preemptive pardon from then-President Joe Biden. Vincent Bonventre, a constitutional law professor at Albany Law School, joined "Forbes Newsroom" to discuss the contempt resolution and what's next. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever felt that your workplace mistreatment was so egregious that it should be legally actionable as discrimination, only to discover the harsh reality of legal definitions? Join Mark Carey and his insightful guest in this eye-opening episode of the Employee Survival Guide®, where they dive deep into the complexities of discrimination claims, particularly through the lens of the pivotal case Soysal v. County of Santa Cruz. This episode unpacks the sobering disconnect between emotional narratives of discrimination and the rigid legal frameworks that govern them. Despite substantial evidence of workplace injustice, the court dismissed the plaintiff's Title VII claims, highlighting a critical lesson: emotional appeals alone are not enough to navigate the labyrinth of employment law. As they dissect the implications of Rule 12b6 motions, which act as gatekeepers in legal proceedings, Mark and his guest stress the importance of precise legal framing in discrimination cases. They illuminate how failing to explicitly link adverse actions to protected categories—such as race, sex, or national origin—can lead to dismissal, regardless of the severity of the mistreatment endured. This episode serves as a wake-up call for employees seeking justice in a hostile work environment, emphasizing the need for meticulous case construction to effectively navigate employment law issues. Tune in to explore essential topics such as employee rights, workplace culture, and the intricacies of severance negotiation. Learn how to advocate for yourself in the face of discrimination, whether it's sexual harassment, age discrimination, or retaliation claims. This episode is packed with insider tips for employees looking to empower themselves and understand their legal rights in the workplace. With a focus on real-world applications, we discuss the importance of knowing your rights under labor laws and how to approach work disputes with confidence. Whether you're dealing with a toxic workplace, negotiating your severance package, or simply seeking career development tips, this episode equips you with the tools to survive and thrive in your job. Don't miss this chance to gain valuable insights into the often-overlooked realities of employment law and discrimination.

This sermon explores Psalm 32 to illustrate the profound blessing of divine forgiveness and the necessity of honest confession. The preacher contrasts the spiritual and physical torment of hiding sin with the immediate relief found in acknowledging transgressions before God. Key theological themes include justification by faith alone, the imputation of Christ's righteousness, and the rejection of self-deception. The message urges listeners to seek God during this time of grace, warning against the stubbornness that leads to judgment while offering assurance through the gospel promises.

Ken interviews Mike Kelly of The Record and NorthJersey.com. Mike talks with Ken about Governor Mikie Sherrill's response to the state's voter registration software error. They break down the details behind the issue and whether there are bigger questions beyond the 6,600 flagged records. Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is gaining on Governor Kathy Hochul, and Ken breaks down the latest poll numbers and what they mean for the race. He also sounds off on New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill's comments after the Trump administration said it would review the state's handling of a motor vehicle software error that allowed some people to register to vote without providing proof of citizenship.

Chris Cuomo explains why Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth has become the latest political obsession—and why he doesn't think it changes much of anything. Chris breaks down what happened during Fauci's Senate testimony, why his lawyers advised him not to answer questions, why Trump continues to avoid the same scrutiny over the government's pandemic response, and what we've still failed to learn from COVID. Chris also breaks down new polling on affordability, healthcare, immigration, and the economy, explaining why he believes politicians are focused on the wrong fights while Americans are focused on paying their bills. He discusses Trump's standing with voters, why affordability remains the defining issue for so many Americans, and why the conversation in Washington looks so different from the conversation happening around kitchen tables.

Fauci's presidential pardon exonerates him from any criminal activity he might have engaged in for a 10 year period, but still he invoked the 5th before Senate Homeland Security? What ELSE has he done outside that decade that he doesn't want the world to know about? Legal experts weigh in with some based and helpful insight. Listen to the democrats who insist we must move on and stop "litigating the past."
Wednesday's Senate hearing with Doctor Anthony Fauci was no surprise. Pleading the 5th, despite a full blanket presidential pardon, was the ultimate insult to the American People by America's most “Sad Little Man.” What does this chapter in the COVID chronicles tell us? One thing it does is vindicate all of us who questioned the established narrative.

Chuck Todd argues Republicans and the White House are frantically trying to manufacture headlines about the past precisely because the actual news of the present is terrible for the GOP, and because the very issues that got Trump elected are the ones he's now ignoring. Democrats are winning heading into the midterms, TChuck says; the only real question is by how much, which is exactly why Republicans are so desperate to feed their base culture-war red meat as a distraction. But the story Chuck argues is being dangerously underplayed is the Iran war, which is no longer a regional conflict at all: close to thirty countries have been directly involved, multiple nations have been hit, and the Iran and Ukraine wars have effectively merged through shared supply chains — Russia has launched thousands of Iranian-made drones at Ukraine, improved and manufactured them, and is now shipping them back to Iran, while Ukrainian air defense teams have been redeployed to the Middle East and the American stockpile of interceptor missiles has been so massively depleted that commanders are rationing them. He calls the war the dumbest mistake a president has made in decades, while rising oil prices help both Iran and Russia.. It's not World War III, he cautions, but it's genuinely hard to see how it ends, and Congress should be singularly focused on it and simply isn't. He then pivots to what he calls a politics of AI that hasn't been invented yet, where the public is way ahead of the politicians: 72% of Americans have used AI in the past three months and like it, but the vast majority don't trust big tech or the AI companies, and the fierce backlash against data centers is really the manifestation of a deeper anger ever since tech companies stopped trying to improve lives and started maximizing engagement. The public isn't rejecting AI, he argues, it's rejecting the technologists, and Trump has planted himself firmly on the side of the tech companies over the public. He closes by lamenting that political energy is being spent on Fauci rather than pandemic preparedness — before quick hits on Todd Achilles getting a one-on-one race in Idaho, Seth Bodnar leading in Montana if the Democrat can be coaxed into dropping out, and the question hanging over Michigan: if Abdul El-Sayed loses, will it have been because of Mamdani's Israel speech? Then, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — the popular two-term Democrat in a deep-red state and a name increasingly floated for 2028 — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that opens with Kentucky's famous Fancy Farm Picnic and the increasingly countercultural idea that political disagreement shouldn't make people enemies. Beshear turns pointed on Mitch McConnell, who he says has been absent for six weeks without speaking to him, arguing that McConnell has a fundamental duty to level with the people of Kentucky about his condition.. Beshear notes the governor has no authority to declare a vacancy, calls on John Thune to help put the concerns to rest, and observes pointedly that if the situation were reversed, McConnell would be ruthlessly tactical about it — and that the right should arguably be angrier, since it's one fewer vote for the GOP agenda. Beshear reflects at length and with real emotion on the COVID years, which he calls the war of our time with a higher casualty rate than most Americans appreciate, credits Kentucky's expanded Medicaid with keeping the state from running out of hospital beds, and warning that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will close 35 hospitals in Kentucky alone. He's sharply critical of Rand Paul for dragging Fauci into character-assassination hearings while staying conspicuously silent on McConnell, and reminds listeners it was Trump who ordered governors to shut down the economy, not Fauci. The conversation turns to Beshear's political philosophy and the road ahead for Democrats. He rejects the "moderate" label in favor of "pragmatic," arguing that the constant battle to label everyone misses how much more complicated reality actually is. Beshear makes the case that Democrats don't win by becoming a Democratic version of McConnell or Trump, that the party needs to be the party of making the economy work again, and that it should champion structural reforms like campaign finance amendments, outlawing gerrymandering, and directly electing the president. He's visibly frustrated with Democrats who blame other Democrats when Republicans are the ones doing the damage — there's no time for "woulda-couldas," he argues, when Trump and the GOP are inflicting this much harm. As a leader in the Democratic Governors Association, Beshear lays out where he sees real opportunity: big resources heading into Georgia, the critical importance of Katie Hobbs winning in Arizona to ensure a fair 2028 election, and the DGA's willingness to spend anywhere it can win. He addresses the data center backlash as fundamentally rooted in anxiety about AI and big tech's failure to talk to the communities it moves into, and stays characteristically coy about his own 2028 ambitions.

Chuck Todd argues Republicans and the White House are frantically trying to manufacture headlines about the past precisely because the actual news of the present is terrible for the GOP, and because the very issues that got Trump elected are the ones he's now ignoring. Democrats are winning heading into the midterms, TChuck says; the only real question is by how much, which is exactly why Republicans are so desperate to feed their base culture-war red meat as a distraction. But the story Chuck argues is being dangerously underplayed is the Iran war, which is no longer a regional conflict at all: close to thirty countries have been directly involved, multiple nations have been hit, and the Iran and Ukraine wars have effectively merged through shared supply chains — Russia has launched thousands of Iranian-made drones at Ukraine, improved and manufactured them, and is now shipping them back to Iran, while Ukrainian air defense teams have been redeployed to the Middle East and the American stockpile of interceptor missiles has been so massively depleted that commanders are rationing them. He calls the war the dumbest mistake a president has made in decades, while rising oil prices help both Iran and Russia.. It's not World War III, he cautions, but it's genuinely hard to see how it ends, and Congress should be singularly focused on it and simply isn't. He then pivots to what he calls a politics of AI that hasn't been invented yet, where the public is way ahead of the politicians: 72% of Americans have used AI in the past three months and like it, but the vast majority don't trust big tech or the AI companies, and the fierce backlash against data centers is really the manifestation of a deeper anger ever since tech companies stopped trying to improve lives and started maximizing engagement. The public isn't rejecting AI, he argues, it's rejecting the technologists, and Trump has planted himself firmly on the side of the tech companies over the public. He closes by lamenting that political energy is being spent on Fauci rather than pandemic preparedness — before quick hits on Todd Achilles getting a one-on-one race in Idaho, Seth Bodnar leading in Montana if the Democrat can be coaxed into dropping out, and the question hanging over Michigan: if Abdul El-Sayed loses, will it have been because of Mamdani's Israel speech? Finally, Chuck presents his ToddCast Top 5 Independents/Independent minded leaders who could reshape the U.S. Senate and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Before you accept a plea bargain, understand the in-depth breakdown of the plea process and your constitutional rights.What Really Happens When You Plead Guilty? Essential Rights, Plea Bargains, and Court Procedures RevealedWhen someone pleads guilty to a crime, it's much more than just signing a form or standing before a judge.

It helps protect the plea from being challenged later.Which constitutional rights are given up when pleading guilty - Rights waived include: trial by jury, presumption of innocence, right to remain silent, confrontation of witnesses, compulsory process, right to appeal, and the right to an attorney at trial.Are recommendations from the prosecutor or defense about sentencing binding on the judge? - In Ohio, most recommendations are not binding.

Iran admits publicly that recent US bombing inflicted severe damage, a significant revelation from the normally defiant regime. And Dr. Anthony Fauci defiantly refused to answer Senate questions, while Senators raged about the infectious disease bureaucrat's behavior amid the death of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Perspective and commentary on all of Wednesday morning's biggest stories
Almost 13 months after pleading guilty to murdering University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, Bryan Kohberger filed a handwritten petition seeking to withdraw his plea and obtain post-conviction relief. Kohberger now claims he is innocent and alleges that his defense attorneys pressured him into “falsely confessing” through coercion, false promises, misleading information about the death penalty and the withholding of potentially exculpatory evidence. He specifically claimed his attorneys failed to tell him about unknown hair reportedly found in Ethan Chapin's hands, advised him that actual guilt was not important to the plea decision and exaggerated the conditions he would face on Idaho's death row.Kohberger's new claims directly conflict with what he told Judge Steven Hippler under oath in July 2025, when he said he was satisfied with his attorneys, was pleading guilty voluntarily and admitted committing the burglary and four murders. His plea agreement spared him a possible death sentence in exchange for four consecutive life sentences without parole and a waiver of most appeal rights, although he can still pursue certain claims of ineffective legal representation through post-conviction proceedings. Idaho defense attorneys said overturning the plea would require Kohberger to clear a difficult legal threshold, and reopening the case could jeopardize the agreement that saved his life and potentially restore the possibility of capital prosecution.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger seeks post-conviction relief | Idaho Statesman

Welcome to Day 2905 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2905 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 143:1-12 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2905 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2905 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: Out of the Dust, Into the Light – The Cry for Divine Direction and Vindication On our last expedition, on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Three, we crawled deep into the dark, damp, suffocating isolation of the cave with David in Psalm One Hundred Forty-Two. We listened as he poured out his raw legal complaint before the Lord, feeling entirely abandoned by humanity, with hidden snares waiting for him in the shadows. Today, as we advance our base camp along this ancient trail, we step directly into Psalm One Hundred Forty-Three, verses one through twelve. This is the final of the seven traditional penitential psalms, and it serves as a profound, sequential continuation of David's journey through intense distress. If Psalm One Hundred Forty-Two was the sharp, acute panic of being trapped in a cave, Psalm One Hundred Forty-Three represents the heavy, cumulative exhaustion of a long-drawn-out warfare. David is not just running from a temporary threat anymore; his soul is utterly spent, his energy is depleted, and the darkness is threatening to swallow him whole. Yet, as we will see, instead of throwing in the towel, David uses his remaining strength to lift his hands into the cosmic throne room, appealing to the character of the Sovereign King of heaven. The first segment is: Entering the Supreme Court: Appealing to Covenant Faithfulness Let us open our ears and hearts to the opening lines of this intense prayer, grouping together the logical thoughts found in verse one and verse two. Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. Don't put your servant on trial, for no one is innocent before you. David begins this trek with an urgent, deeply humble legal appeal, crying out, “Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. Don't put your servant on trial, for no one is innocent before you.” To fully appreciate what is happening here, we must view this through the ancient Israelite divine-council worldview. When David enters into prayer, he knows he is stepping directly into the celestial courtroom where Yahweh sits enthroned as the Supreme Judge, surrounded by His assembly of holy ones. Notice that David does not swagger into this heavenly court demanding rights based on his own moral perfection. In fact, he does the exact opposite. He submits a preemptive plea, begging, “Don't put your servant on trial.” Why? Because David possesses the profound cosmic wisdom to realize that in the brilliant, unblemished light of the Creator's holiness, no human being—not even a chosen, anointed king—stands completely innocent on their own merit. Instead of pleading his own righteousness, David brilliantly shifts the entire legal basis of his case to the character of God Himself. He demands an answer based entirely on two things: God's faithfulness and God's righteousness. In the ancient near eastern covenant framework, a king was legally and morally obligated to defend and protect his loyal subjects. David is essentially saying, “Lord, I am your covenant servant. I am imperfect, yes, but I am yours. Therefore, I appeal to your own cosmic reputation, and your sworn oaths of loyalty, to step down“from the judge's bench and act as my divine defense attorney." The second segment is: The Crushing Darkness: Paralyzed in the Shadow of Death The narrative takes a very heavy, somber turn as David describes the terrifying operations of his adversary, combining the logical thoughts found in verse three and verse four. My enemy has chased me. He has knocked me to the ground and forces me to live in darkness like those who died long ago. I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear. David exposes his current reality, recounting, “My enemy has chased me. He has knocked me to the ground and forces me to live in darkness like those who died long ago. I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear.” The language David utilizes here is intentionally cosmic, and deeply evocative of the underworld. When he says his enemy has knocked him to the ground, forcing him to live in deep darkness like those who died long ago, he is drawing a direct parallel between his current psychological state and Sheol—the dark, silent realm of the dead. In the ancient world, Sheol was seen as a place of absolute containment, ruled over by spiritual forces of chaos and decay. David feels as though his human persecutors, backed by the sinister principalities of darkness, have successfully driven him out of the vibrant land of the living and buried him alive in a spiritual tomb. Because of this prolonged, crushing environment, David experiences a profound internal collapse. He confesses, “I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear.” In the original language, this means his spirit is completely overwhelmed, and his heart within him is numbed, desolated, and frozen. This is an incredibly important stop on our wisdom trek today. It reminds us that even the greatest spiritual giants can reach a point of complete emotional paralysis. The wilderness can get so dark, and the chase can last so long, that our internal resources completely run dry, leaving us numb to the world around us. The third segment is: The Pivot of Remembrance: Thirsting for Cosmic Intervention Right at the absolute nadir of his depression, when his heart is completely frozen, David makes a conscious, deliberate pivot in his mind, linking his thoughts together in verse five and verse six. I remember the days of old. I ponder all your great works and think about what you have done. I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Faced with a paralyzing present, David forces his mind to look backward, declaring, “I remember the days of old. I ponder all your great works and think about what you have done. I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.” When you are paralyzed with fear, and can no longer see a way forward, the wisest thing you can do is look backward at history. David engages three distinct mental faculties here: he remembers, he ponders, and he meditates. He actively recalls the “days of old”—the cosmic history of Israel, the miraculous deliverance from Egypt, the splitting of the Red Sea, and the dramatic overthrow of the rebellious Canaanite kings. By contemplating these great historical works, David reminds his trembling heart that the God he serves is the undisputed Master of storm, sea, and human empires. This mental shift completely re-energizes his physical body. He moves from a posture of frozen paralysis to a posture of active, urgent worship, lifting his empty hands into the air. He describes his soul's condition using a striking agricultural metaphor: “I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.” In the ancient Near East, a drought was not just an inconvenience; it was a terrifying threat of death and famine, often associated with the cosmic withdrawal of divine favor. David recognizes that he cannot fix his own drought. He stands before the Lord like cracked, dry, sun-baked desert soil, completely dependent on the sovereign windows of heaven opening up to pour out life-giving rain upon his parched soul. The fourth segment is: The Urgent S.O.S.: Pleading for the Morning Light The urgency of David's prayer reaches an absolute fever pitch as he strings together a rapid series of imperative petitions, grouping together the thoughts in verse Safen, verse eight, and verse nine. Come quickly, Lord, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don't turn away from me, or I will die and go down to the grave. Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I run to you to hide me. David sends out an urgent spiritual distress signal, crying, “Come quickly, Lord, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don't turn away from me, or I will die and go down to the grave. Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I run to you to hide...
