Today we're discussing the truth many don't want to face: Donald Trump's refusal to release the Epstein list reveals his true character and priorities. This shouldn't even be happening, justice for Epstein's victims should never have been left in the shadows. Yet here we are, forced to keep the pressure on for transparency, knowing full well that even if the list is released now, we cannot trust what we'll actually get. In this episode, we break down what this means for leadership, accountability, and the fight for real justice.
In this episode, we are joined by Congressman Brian Babin from Texas, who shares his insights on the recent controversies surrounding Ghislaine Maxwell's leaked emails and the implications for the Democratic Party. We discuss the potential fallout from the release of the Epstein files and how it may impact the ongoing political climate. Congressman Babbitt also addresses concerns about corruption and the misuse of power within the justice system, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability. Next, we tackle the recent COP30 climate conference and the hypocrisy surrounding climate change initiatives. Join John and his guest, Michael Chamberlain from Protect the Public Trust, as they dissect the contradictions of climate policies, the impact of wealth redistribution, and the alarming emissions from countries like China. They also discuss the importance of accountability in environmental commitments and ongoing issues in women's sports related to Title IX violations. Finally, we engage with Michigan State Senator Aric Nesbitt as he shares insights on his campaign for governor and the pressing issues surrounding the upcoming elections in 2026. We delve into the challenges of election integrity, the controversial actions of the current Secretary of State, and the need for federal oversight. Senator Nesbitt also discusses his proposed 'Citizens Only Voting' initiative aimed at ensuring that only eligible voters participate in elections.

The director for the International Centre for Journalists says the resignation of two senior figures at the BBC is a result of an "orchestrated campaign to undercut public trust" in the broadcaster. The head of the BBC, director-general Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness both resigned after criticism of the broadcaster's editing of a speech by US President Donald Trump. Critics said the way the speech was edited for the BBC's flagship documentary program Panorama last year was misleading and cut out a section where Donald Trump said that he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully. Mr Trump has threatened legal action against the BBC over the way the speech he made was edited. Julie Posetti is a professor of journalism at City St George's University of London and director for the International Centre for Journalists and she's speaking here to AP.

“The amount of chaos that's been introduced into the federal health policy landscape is unprecedented,” says Michelle Mello, professor at Stanford Law School and the Stanford University School of Medicine.That turmoil, she explains, has left major gaps in expertise, trust, and leadership—and states are rushing to fill the void. In this episode of Stanford Legal, host Pamela S. Karlan talks with Mello about what this moment means for the future of science, public health, research, and the law.Mello describes how the hollowing out of career expertise at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has upended vaccine policy and research funding, forcing states into unfamiliar leadership roles. She and Karlan also unpack how shifting scientific guidance during the pandemic eroded public confidence, how politicized grant-making is reshaping the research ecosystem, and state governments' growing role in creating what she calls a “shadow CDC.”Despite the turmoil, Mello points to a few bright spots: state-level experimentation could generate valuable evidence of what works and what does not, and there are reassuring signs from the lower courts, she says, which she believes are capable of separating law from politics.Earlier this year, Mello explored many of these themes in her JAMA Health Forum paper, “The Hard Road Ahead for State Public Health Departments.”Links:Michelle Mello >>> Stanford Law pageJAMA Health Forum paper >>> “The Hard Road Ahead for State Public Health DepartmentsConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>> Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageDiego Zambrano >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X (00:00:00) Health Policy and COVID-19 Vaccines(00:05:10) The Vaccine Rollout Challenges(00:10:25) Public Trust and Recommendations(00:16:40) The Role of the Vaccine Committee(00:23:55) NIH Grant Process Insight(00:29:43) MIT's Stance on NIH Compact Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Over the course of this conversation, we dive into the journey and leadership philosophy of Pieter Van Ry, who leads both South Platte Renew and the City of Englewood's water utility. Pieter shares how he transitioned from a consultant in stormwater management to a dual-role leader overseeing drinking water and wastewater services for over 300,000 people. His story is one of transformation—both personal and organizational.We explore how he manages the two distinct utilities, which are legally and operationally separate. South Platte Renew serves a regional area through a joint venture between Englewood and Littleton, while the Englewood utility is more localized. Pieter splits his time equally between the two, relying on strong deputy leadership to maintain continuity and operational excellence.One of the main challenges both entities faced was decades of underinvestment. Pieter focused early on building long-term financial models and sustainable funding mechanisms. He emphasizes transparency with policymakers, using clear data to show the long-term consequences of decisions. His team successfully leveraged federal funding like WIFIA and the Drinking Water Revolving Fund to modernize infrastructure while raising rates carefully and with community backing—even during COVID.On the drinking water side, the transformation has been more severe. The utility was decades behind in staffing, technology, and systems. Simple operations like backwashes were still being done with stopwatches. Today, that same utility is removing all 3,000 of its lead service lines and has increased staff by 40%.Leadership is a central theme. Pieter believes in fostering an environment where people love coming to work. That mindset ties directly into performance, innovation, and long-term success. He embraces delegation, transparency, and accountability as leadership cornerstones and promotes a culture that allows for calculated risks and learning through failure.A key outcome of this leadership approach is the development of PARC (Pilot and Research Center), an open innovation platform designed to plug researchers, universities, and technology companies directly into the treatment process. The idea is to invest early in flexible infrastructure—across liquid, solids, and gas systems—so external innovators can rapidly pilot their solutions. PARC enables Pieter's team to stay ahead of looming regulations and drive customer value through smarter, cheaper, and more sustainable treatment technologies.As we wrap up, Pieter reflects on his legacy. He wants his departure to be a “blip”—a sign that he's built resilient systems, not just personal authority. And on public trust, he's clear: acknowledge mistakes, transparently share progress, and always circle back to communicate results. Trust, like infrastructure, is built over time—and it's earned through action.City of Englewood Utilities: https://www.englewoodco.gov/government/city-departments/utilitiesSouth Platte Renew: https://southplatterenewco.gov/ Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Lizette Lancaster, Acting Head of the Justice and Violence Prevention Programme at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), about the growing crisis within the South African Police Service. With senior officers allegedly defying orders, political interference undermining command structures, and widespread internal dysfunction exposed by recent parliamentary hearings and the Madlanga Commission, trust in SAPS is eroding. Lancaster explains how a lack of accountability and leadership has left communities questioning whether the police can still protect them — and who, if anyone, is truly in control of the country’s policing system. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Welcome to a compelling conversation on Trending in Education, where we explore how innovative thinking and technology can transform public education. In this episode, Mike Palmer talks with Michelle Vilchez, CEO, and Sean Michael Hardy, Vice President of National Organizing and Advocacy, from Innovate Public Schools. They discuss their groundbreaking work in empowering parents and leveraging artificial intelligence to create a new tool called AI-EP, a project developed in collaboration with Northeastern University's Burnes Center for Social Change. Why You Should Listen: Empowering Parents: This episode highlights how a nonprofit organization is shifting power to parents, particularly those from marginalized communities, by giving them the tools and platforms to advocate for their children's education. AI for Good: You'll hear about a practical and inspiring use of AI that addresses a real-world problem and closes equity gaps, rather than exacerbating them. Community-Led Innovation: The conversation showcases a powerful model of "co-design," where tech developers, educators, and community members work together to create solutions that are both effective and sustainable. Key Takeaways: Innovate Public Schools is a movement, not a network. Michelle and Sean clarify that their organization's mission is to mobilize families to demand high-quality schools for their children, not to operate charter schools. They focus on campaigns for black literacy, special education, and high-impact tutoring. AI-EP addresses a critical need. The Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is often a dense, 50-page legal document that can be intimidating for parents, especially those who don't speak English or have low reading comprehension. The AI-EP tool translates the IEP into a parent's native language and allows them to ask questions, effectively serving as a chatbot to help them understand and engage with the plan. Collaboration is key to innovation. The AI-EP project was a collaborative effort involving Innovate Public Schools, Northeastern University, and the Learning Tapestry. By bringing together tech developers and parents, they created a tool that has had a transformational impact on users. Parent advocacy drives policy change. Innovate's parent leaders have not only influenced local policy but also co-authored legislation. Their advocacy led to the passage of California's Senate Bill 445, which mandates that IEP documents be translated into the 10 most common languages across the state, benefiting over 800,000 students. The model is replicable. Michelle and Sean stress that their goal is not to be "gatekeepers" of this innovation, but to share the model so it can be replicated across the nation to address a variety of educational challenges. They believe that organizing around education is crucial because it is the "building block" for everything else in life, from economic stability to generational wealth. Don't miss this conversation.

In this episode, we are joined by Clark Neily, Senior Vice President for Legal Studies at the Cato Institute, to discuss the weaponization of the Department of Justice and the broader implications of plea bargaining and charge stacking in the U.S. legal system. We dive into the erosion of jury trials, the impact of coercive plea deals, and the challenges of maintaining justice and human dignity in a system increasingly reliant on non-public procedures. We also touch on the historical context of these issues and the potential for reform. 00:00 Introduction 00:31 The Efficacy of Acupuncture for Chronic Back Pain 04:54 Charlie Kirk Memorial Service 07:59 Foolishness of the Week 10:47 Clark Neily Introduction 12:38 Trump Truth Social Post 17:23 Plea Bargaining and Charge Stacking 22:44 Weaponization of the DOJ 26:00 Public Trust in DOJ Waning 28:41 The Constitution Right to a Jury Trial 30:45 The Role of the Supreme Court 36:39 Grand Jury Indictments 41:11 What's Next for the DOJ 45:59 Historical Context and Legal Reform 49:10 The Importance of Jury Duty Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the show, I talk with David Wessel from the Brookings Institution about the state of the US economy, the reliability of government statistics, and why trust in data matters more than ever. We cover the latest job numbers and what downward revisions mean, the pressures facing agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau, and how politics threatens the credibility of official data. David shares insights on the risks of eroding confidence, what businesses and governments might do in response, and why high-quality, transparent data is essential for policymaking and for the public. It's a timely and important conversation about the role of data in shaping our economic future.Keywords: David Wessel, Jon Schwabish, PolicyViz Podcast, Bureau of Labor Statistics, BLS, Census Bureau, U.S. economy, economic data, data revisions, trust in data, survey fatigue, government statistics, job market, unemployment, economic indicators, federal data, data transparency, data integrity, public trustSubscribe to the PolicyViz Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Become a patron of the PolicyViz Podcast for as little as a buck a monthFollow Giorgia on Twitter and find her book “This is Me and Only Me” on AmazonFollow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, Twitter, Website, YouTubeEmail: jon@policyviz.com

Send us fan responses! Step into the hidden world of private banking as we pull back the curtain on how wealthy families truly protect and grow their assets. This eye-opening conversation reveals the fundamental truth that "you can never own anything in America" – and what you can do about it.Discover why making your name a business through LLCs and holding companies creates a protective barrier between your assets and potential threats. We explore the five charging order protection states (Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware, South Dakota, and Alaska) and why they're crucial for proper asset structuring.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we uncover how Research and Development tax credits allow businesses to recover up to $500,000 per year – a strategy most tax professionals never mention. You'll learn about forms 6765, 8974, and 941, and how to leverage them properly.Ministry trusts and 508(c)(1)(a) organizations emerge as the cornerstone of private family wealth, offering both tax advantages and independence unlike their 501(c)(3) counterparts. We discuss how family Bibles and baptismal certificates can serve as legitimate identification, and why Social Security numbers represent a public trust system rather than a path to financial freedom.International banking strategies reveal how establishing accounts in countries like Palau, Georgia, Russia, or Ukraine can provide legitimate alternatives without U.S. identification requirements. We also cover the legal foundations for these strategies, including 28 CFR 802.23, which protects your right to privacy.Whether you're looking to protect existing assets or build generational wealth from scratch, this episode provides the framework for thinking and operating like the private families who have preserved wealth for centuries. It's not about evading responsibilities – it's about understanding the difference between public and private relationships and making informed choices for your financial future.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

In this explosive episode of What's New with ME, Ali Mehdaoui dives into four breaking stories at the crossroads of politics, economics, health, tragedy, and sports culture:When President Trump tries to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook—the first Black woman on the Fed board—the clash sparks a legal showdown that could reshape executive power, threaten the independence of the Federal Reserve, and rattle market stability. Will this become a Supreme Court case? And what does it mean for your money, trust in institutions, and the 2026 midterms?

Jacob and Rob dig into Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, exposing the political theater surrounding government data. They explore labor hoarding, CPI distortions, and the fragility of public statistical institutions in a polarized, AI-saturated world. The conversation spans historical context, philosophical takes on truth and data, and the coming war for proprietary information.

In this After Dark episode, I sit down with my friend and retired law enforcement officer John “Chappie” Chapman. After decades of service, John's taken his experience and passion and poured it into Task Force 70, a nonprofit laser-focused on rebuilding public trust through constitutionally grounded training for America's law enforcement.We break down how the system really works—from institutionalized training gaps to the funding issues that keep over 70% of small, rural agencies from getting the support they actually need. John brings clarity to a complicated conversation and outlines what TF70 is doing differently, including two standout courses that are already making an impact.This episode isn't just for cops. It's for citizens who care about the quality of training their officers receive and how we can raise the bar without political noiseEjoy today's show!Timestamps:00:00 Intro04:42 Background In Law Enforcement06:31 Transition To Training & Instruction09:01 Challenges In Police Training14:52 Bureaucracy & Equipment Issues36:11 Foundational Skills In Modern Policing45:05 Federal Funding & Local Challenges48:56 Training Foundations & Sociological Shifts54:36 Practical Training & Foundation's Mission01:04:55 Specialized Courses & Support01:17:41 Donors, Funding & Transparency01:26:48 Measuring Training Impact01:49:06 Final Thoughts & EncouragementRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/
Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., a Utah surgeon, faced 35 years in prison for giving patients saline instead of the COVID vaccine. The PBD Podcast panel debates whether he's a criminal or a hero, exposes flaws in public health messaging, and explores the long-term fallout of COVID mandates.
As violence surges in New York City, a controversial mayoral hopeful draws fire for hypocrisy—expressing support for wounded NYPD officers while previously advocating to defund them. This segment exposes the dangerous disconnect between progressive rhetoric and urban reality, as leaders like Zoran Mankami redefine violent crime as a "construct" and push policies that demoralize law enforcement. Meanwhile, the media spins a deadly Midtown shooting to fit a familiar narrative, prematurely labeling the suspect “possibly white” despite visual evidence to the contrary. The host unpacks the mainstream media's pattern of misinformation—igniting outrage with false assumptions and burying inconvenient truths. With rising gang control, NYPD attrition fears, and a growing exodus of New Yorkers fleeing crime and chaos, the segment paints a chilling portrait of a city unraveling under failed leadership and ideological delusion.
In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States, to explore the growing disconnect between the American people and their government. He explains why Americans no longer trust government and how to fix it. As public trust continues to erode, Meckler breaks down how entrenched bureaucracy, unpunished corruption, and an unaccountable political class have warped the system beyond recognition. They also discuss the potential of third-party movements like Elon Musk's and why the Convention of States may be the only real solution to restore constitutional principles, enforce term limits, and rein in runaway spending. Episode Highlights: The Convention of States offers a constitutional path to implement term limits, enforce fiscal restraints, and shrink the federal bureaucracy. Elon Musk's rumored third-party movement could fracture the GOP and reshape political coalitions. America's unelected bureaucratic class now functions as an unaccountable fourth branch of government.
Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, for Friday's Headline Brief as he covers the top stories shaping America and the world. Faulty Intel Sparks Firestorm Over Iran Strike Assessment A leaked report suggesting Trump's Iran strike was ineffective relied on faulty signals intelligence. Iranian officials intentionally fed disinformation via tapped calls, misleading DIA analysts. Israeli sources confirm the operation's major success. Bryan calls for top DIA officials to be fired and their Iran shop frozen. Tariff Revenue Surges to Record Levels President Trump's tariff policies are paying off with $26.7 billion collected in June so far. Analysts say this could reduce the U.S. deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade without driving inflation. GE Appliances and Liberty Phone Signal Manufacturing Comeback China-owned GE Appliances will move washing machine production to Kentucky, creating 800 jobs. Meanwhile, debate swirls over whether the Trump family's $500 “Made in USA” phone can actually be built domestically. Liberty Phone shows it's possible—just not fancy. Reshoring Cars Faces Hurdles Ford and GM are reshoring car production, but profits and supply chain challenges remain. Mexico's cheaper labor still makes foreign-made cars more profitable. Tariff clarity from the White House is needed to accelerate change. China Prioritizes Europe for Rare Earth Exports, Snubs U.S. Despite promises, China continues restricting rare earth exports to American companies while increasing shipments to Europe. Trump's team may have struck a new deal earlier this week, but details are unclear. Billionaire-Backed Lawyers Block U.S. Mining Projects Democrat donors like Michael Bloomberg are funding “green fellows” to infiltrate state regulatory boards, slowing or halting traditional mining and energy projects while promoting green energy. Economic Signals: Durable Goods Up, Federal Contractors Down Durable goods orders posted the biggest gain in 11 years. But recurring jobless claims rose and federal contractor hiring is plummeting due to Trump's deep spending cuts. Trump Ends Race-Based Federal Contracts Following a court order, the Trump administration eliminated affirmative action in highway and transit funding. Activist groups object, but the administration says it's enforcing the Constitution. New Deportation Strategy Targets Third Countries Migrants can now be deported to countries that aren't their homeland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, linked to violent crimes, may be sent to South Sudan. Democrats are furious at the new legal precedent. Military Border Zone Expands 250 Miles Trump's administration extends the special military zone along the Texas border. DHS reports only 80 daily border “gotaways,” down from 700 under Biden. Congress Investigates Biden's Auto-Pen Presidency Lawmakers probe who actually signed documents during Biden's decline. Neera Tanden admits she authorized signatures without knowing if Biden approved them. Top aide Anthony Bernal may face subpoena. Public Trust in News Plummets as Podcasts Rise Only 11 to 16 percent of Americans trust traditional media. Young men turn to podcasts, while women prefer social media. Bryan reflects on the risks of both legacy and new media, calling for critical thinking and personal responsibility in news consumption.

My guest is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Professor Emeritus of Health Policy at Stanford University. We discuss which scientific questions ought to be the priority for NIH, how to incentivize bold, innovative science especially from younger labs, how to solve the replication crisis and restore trust and transparency in science and public health, including acknowledging prior failures by the NIH. We discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and the data and sociological factors that motivated lockdowns, masking and vaccine mandates. Dr. Bhattacharya shares his views on how to resolve the vaccine–autism debate and how best to find the causes and cures for autism and chronic diseases. The topics we cover impact everyone: male, female, young and old and, given that NIH is the premier research and public health organization in the world, extend to Americans and non-Americans alike.
