Trump Gets A REALITY Check Over Epstein Files + Why Trump's Policies Will RAISE Your Cost Of Living

The Chuck ToddCast: Meet the Press

Chuck Todd begins with a rant about his beloved Washington Nationals interesting selection with the #1 overall draft pick. He pivots to the firestorm surrounding the Trump administration over their refusal to release the promised Epstein files to the public and why Trump's reality TV style of governance is colliding with actual reality. He also discusses Trump's retribution campaign having a chilling effect on dissent, the ongoing effort to fire Fed chairman Jay Powell, and highlights a troubling trend for Democrats.Then, Chuck is joined by congresswoman Brittany Pettersen, who offers an insider's perspective on the challenges facing both Congress and her swing district in Colorado. The conversation begins with her advocacy for modernizing congressional rules, particularly around proxy voting for pregnant members, before diving into broader structural issues plaguing the institution. Pettersen argues that Congress has become increasingly dysfunctional due to the consolidation of power in leadership and the erosion of legislative authority, making it especially difficult for women and minority party members to effectively serve their constituents.The discussion covers a wide range of policy challenges, from the housing crisis and healthcare access to immigration reform and climate change. Pettersen emphasizes the need for massive federal investment in housing rather than tax incentives, warns that Trump's policies will exacerbate the housing crisis, and predicts that the homeowners insurance industry will force Congress to act on climate change. She also tackles the politically sensitive topic of immigration, arguing that outdated policies have worsened border security issues and that comprehensive reform would be the best way to address rising costs. Throughout the conversation, Pettersen stresses the importance of transparency in government spending, believing voters deserve to know exactly what services are sacrificed when tax cuts are implemented.Finally, Chuck answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment regarding Trump administration salaries, third party candidates in presidential elections and the immigration bill that never received a vote. Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction00:15 Nationals perplexing #1 draft pick02:45 The pick isn't reassuring to Nats fans04:00 You can't win if you aren't willing to spend money07:00 Trump's reality TV approach is clashing with reality08:30 Trump is acting very nervous about the Epstein files10:00 The most simple explanations for the Epstein file debacle11:00 What is Trump trying to distract from?11:45 Trump's immigration narrative doesn't match reality14:00 “Alligator Alcatraz” is a disgusting P.R. stunt15:15 The fear Trump has created will hurt the economy16:15 Misinformation made the Texas disaster far worse18:45 Reality will always get the last word20:30 Our broken information ecosystem is running into reality21:30 Trump's retribution campaign is chilling dissent23:30 People who know better are staying silent24:45 Trump is looking for a pretext to fire Jay Powell from the Fed26:00 Trump wants to use a “cost overrun” loophole to fire Powell29:00 There is a gender crisis brewing for the Democratic party31:00 Democrats are being viewed as the “women's party” and against men33:30 Check out Chuck's interview with Rahm Emmanuel on Noosphere!35:00 Brittany Pettersen joins the Chuck ToddCast! 35:30 Tour of Colorado's 7th district 37:15 Changing congressional rules for proxy voting by pregnant members 40:45 Will she introduce legislation for proxy voting if there's a new speaker? 42:30 What guardrails should be put on proxy voting? 44:30 Congress isn't set up for women 46:45 How difficult is it being in the house minority? 48:30 Big beautiful bill removed substance abuse waiver from Medicaid 49:30 Consolidation of power in leadership has been bad for democracy 52:30 Congress has given away its authority to leadership and the executive 55:00 Balancing voter concerns in a swing district 57:30 Social safety nets are being cut off 1:00:00 Is the housing crisis a state or federal issue? 1:01:00 Housing needs massive investment, not tax incentives 1:02:30 What does that investment look like? 1:04:15 Trump's policies will make the housing crisis worse 1:05:45 The homeowners insurance industry will force congress to act on climate 1:07:30 Will leaders re-think killing FEMA after the Texas disaster? 1:10:15 Will FEMA become Medicaid for disasters? 1:12:15 Voters deserve a receipt for their tax dollars 1:14:00 Voters should know what services get sacrificed for tax cuts 1:15:15 How can the immigration system be improved? 1:17:00 Fixing immigration would be the best way to address rising costs 1:18:30 Did Democrats blow it on the issue of border security? 1:20:00 Outdated immigration policy made the border issue far worse 1:21:30 Any interest in running for Michael Bennet's senate seat? 1:23:00 Should there be an age cap for legislators? 1:25:15 What is wrong with the Colorado Rockies?1:27:30 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Brittany Petterson 1:28:45 Ask Chuck 1:29:00 Do Trump appointees with multiple roles get multiple salaries? 1:31:00 Would a viable third party cause a deadlock in presidential elections? 1:35:00 Thoughts on the prior immigration reform bill that was tanked? 1:40:30 Andrew Cuomo trying to rally support against Mamdani

Marc Cox hosts Dr. William Forstchen, author of One Second After, discussing the impending film adaptation of his bestselling novel about an EMP attack that could cripple America. Forstchen breaks down how a nuclear EMP detonated in space could instantly shut down all electronics, leading to catastrophic power failures and societal collapse—potentially killing up to 80% of the population within a year. The book—and soon the movie—drives home the frightening reality that modern America is shockingly vulnerable, with no meaningful civilian protections in place. The discussion also covers the collapse of law and order, survival challenges like food shortages and the collapse of currency (which turns to bullets), and the vital importance of preparation. Forstchen and Marc underscore the failure of government to adequately address this threat, the dangers of dependence on technology, and the urgent need for Americans to get serious about readiness. The film is set to begin shooting in Bulgaria this fall with a release planned for late spring or early summer next year.

Marc & Kim start your morning with a fiery breakdown of the media's lies and the Democrats' blame game over the deadly Texas floods—Marc calls out Amy Klobuchar and the left's shameless attempt to pin FEMA failures on Trump. In Kim on a Whim, Kim dismantles the downfall of Airbnb, comparing its chaos and greed to the decline of cable TV. They tackle the radical rise of NYC's pro-Intifada mayoral frontrunner and the DNC's embrace of extremism, and wrap the hour defending capitalism amid Prime Day spending and leftist envy over Bezos's wealth. Kim blasts the lie of “equity” and government handouts while Marc makes the case for why capitalism still works.

This week, we're joined by Jon Charbonneau and Ryan Watkins to unpack the bombshell news of Robinhood Chain—an Arbitrum-based network debuting tokenized U.S. stocks, 3× crypto perps, and that head-scratching $500 K liquidity cap. From riffing on whether proof-of-stake yields are just “money in a box,” to debating Solana's first U.S. staked ETF, to sizing up the looming perp wars between Robinhood and Coinbase, the crew maps a common thread: corporate chains and regulatory work-arounds are colliding with crypto's decentralization ideals, forcing builders, traders, and even ETF hawks to rethink where real security, fairness, and opportunity will live next.

Docs are in denial, but the economic incentives make it inevitable. Meanwhile, you're working hard to become a doctor — and now a bot might take your place? The Sheriff of Sodium, Dr. Brian Carmody, is back on the Short Coat to say what nobody wants to hear but might need to: yes, AI in medicine is real, and the value proposition makes docs' replacement inevitable. From primary care AI to image-heavy fields like pathology, we're talking actual use cases. We break down physician automation, the AMA's waning influence, and why corporations – and even patients – might be the real force behind AI-driven doctor job loss. If you thought medical school guaranteed career security, this might shake your certainty. But there are specialties and human-only qualities that you can lean into for a bright future amidst the bots. Then the Sheriff, M3 Jeff Goddard, MD/PhD Miranda Schene, M2s Sarah Lowenberg and Taryn O'Brien pivot to a deeply personal listener question: should a pre-med student push through to med school while struggling with mental health, like her parents want her to?

The writing is on the wall: government spending isn't going down, and inflation isn't going away. In this episode, we dive deep into the harsh reality that even Elon Musk's DOGE couldn't meaningfully cut federal spending - and what that means for your financial future. If the richest man in the world with unlimited resources can't trim the budget, no one can.This isn't political pessimism; it's economic realism that demands a strategic response. We break down why traditional approaches to inflation protection aren't enough anymore and share how to position for a world where asset prices must rise faster than the cost of living.We explore the psychology of market volatility, the power of disciplined diversification, and why trying to time sectors based on geopolitical events often backfires. From AI-powered trading platforms to the delegation versus DIY decision, this conversation covers the practical strategies needed to build wealth in an inflationary world.The DOGE Reality Check: Why the failure of the Department of Government Efficiency to meaningfully cut spending signals that federal expenditures will only continue growing. With both parties resistant to real cuts, the math is simple: continued money creation equals sustained inflation, making traditional savings strategies inadequate.The Inflation Tax Nobody Talks About: Every dollar the government spends is either collected through direct taxes or the hidden tax of inflation. With tax cuts in the pipeline and spending increases continuing, inflation becomes the primary funding mechanism - meaning your purchasing power is the government's revenue source.Building Anti-Inflation Portfolios: The approach to constructing portfolios that don't just keep up with inflation but meaningfully outpace it. This emphasizes owning assets that benefit from rising prices rather than being victims of them, and why diversification beats sector speculation every time.Why Market Timing Fails: From tariff announcements to Middle East conflicts, we explain why trying to trade around news events typically destroys wealth rather than creating it. Real examples show how disciplined rebalancing during volatility serves investors better than reactive trading.The AI Trading Revolution: Discussion of experiments with AI-powered forex trading platforms generating 1% weekly returns, plus perspective on how AI will likely impact both retail investing and professional wealth management. The conversation covers both opportunities and realistic limitations.The Delegation Decision: When does it make sense to manage your own investments versus working with a professional? The philosophy on building competence while recognizing when expertise and time management favor delegation.➡️ Chapters:00:00 - The Inflation Reality 01:00 - Welcome Back & Personal Updates 05:00 - From Tariffs to Hot Wars: Market Whiplash 06:00 - The DOGE Failure: Why Spending Never Decreases 08:00 - Bureaucracy vs. Efficiency: The Musk Experience 11:00 - Inflation as the Hidden Tax 16:00 - Building Portfolios That Outpace Inflation19:00 - Real Estate Reality Check21:00 - The Danger of Emotional Sector Investing 24:00 - Disciplined Rebalancing vs. Tweet Trading 27:00 - The 30-Year Vision Approach32:00 - AI in Trading and Wealth Management38:00 - Market Efficiency and AI Limitations 41:00 - The Delegation vs. DIY Decision 47:00   Final Thoughts: Plan, Process, ImplementVisit Patriot Wealth Planners to learn how to protect your wealth while maximizing its growth potential.Got Questions?

The segment contrasts real-world oppression in Iran—where citizens are executed for dissent and the internet is shut down to hide mass killings—with the performative politics of U.S. Democrats seeking staged arrests to boost campaign optics. Tara and Lee tear into the chaos in cities like Portland, where Antifa radicals attack ICE facilities unchecked, and expose the dangerous partnership between the Iranian regime, the American Left, and even media figures like Tucker Carlson—who, shockingly, was unaware that multiple Iranian assassins were arrested for plotting to kill Trump on U.S. soil. The hosts argue this isn't about Israel—it's about Iran targeting American leaders, and Democrats turning a blind eye. With Trump shifting from economic pressure to potentially decisive military action, the conversation gets to the heart of what's at stake: national security, free speech, and the alarming ignorance of key U.S. leaders on the Iran threat.

William Lyne of the UK's National Crime Agency joins us live at Infosecurity Europe to talk ransomware, AI threats, and the future of cybercrime disruption.When the UK's top cyber intelligence strategist sits down with you in London, you listen — and you hit record.At Infosecurity Europe 2025, the ITSPmagazine podcast team — Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin — sat down with William Lyne, Deputy Director and Head of Cyber Intelligence at the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA). This is the guy who not only leads cyber strategy for the NCA, but has also represented the UK at the FBI in the U.S. and now oversees national-level ransomware disruption efforts. It's not just a conversation — it's a rare front-row seat into how one of the world's most serious crime-fighting agencies is tackling ransomware 3.0.The message? Ransomware isn't just a cyber issue. It's a societal one. And it's evolving faster than we're prepared for — unless we change the game.“It went from niche to national threat fast,” Lyne explains. “The tools were always there. It just took a few threat actors to stitch them together.”From banking malware to fully operational cybercrime-as-a-service ecosystems, Lyne walks us through how the underground economy has industrialized. Ransomware isn't just about tech — it's about access, scale, and business models. And most importantly, it's no longer limited to elite coders or closed-door Russian-speaking forums. The barrier to entry is gone, and the dark web is wide open for business.Sean brings up the obvious: “Why does this still feel like we're always reacting?”Lyne responds: “We've shifted. We're going after the ecosystem — the people, the infrastructure, the business model — not just the payload.” That includes disrupting ransomware-as-a-service, targeting marketplaces, and yes, investing in preemptive intelligence.Marco flips the script by comparing today's cyber landscape to something deeply human. “Extortion is nothing new — we've just digitalized it. This is human behavior, scaled by tech.”From there, the conversation takes a future-facing turn. Deepfakes, AI-powered phishing, the commoditization of generative tools — Lyne confirms it's all on their radar. But he's quick to note that cybercriminals aren't bleeding-edge innovators. “They adopt when the ROI is right. But AI-as-a-service? That's coming. And it will reshape how efficient — and damaging — these threats become.”And then the real insight lands:“You can't wait to be a victim to talk to law enforcement. We may already have access to the infrastructure. The earlier we hear from you, the better we can act — and fast.”That kind of operational openness isn't something you heard from law enforcement five years ago. It signals a cultural shift — one where collaboration is not optional, it's essential.William also highlights the NCA's partnerships with private sector firms, academia, and international agencies, including the Kronos operation targeting LockBit infrastructure. These kinds of collaborations prove that when information moves, so does impact.Why does this matter?Because while most cybersecurity media gets stuck in product buzzwords and vendor hype, this is the real stuff — how ransomware groups behave, how law enforcement thinks, and how society can respond. It's not theory. It's strategy, lived on the front lines.
