New video shows Fresno Unified workers tackling and holding down a suspect accused of stealing a car with children still inside. Police say the employees acted quickly, stopping the suspect before anyone was hurt and keeping the children safe until officers arrived. An ethics complaint claims a pro‑Matt Mahan PAC and his campaign illegally coordinated, citing calls where billionaire donors Michael Moritz and Rick Caruso discussed joint strategy. The filing alleges such coordination violates California’s campaign finance rules and raises questions about outside influence in a local race.

Ralph welcomes, Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen, to discuss his Senate testimony about the many ways the Trump Administration's assault on fraud is itself fraudulent. Plus, Ralph informs us of a report from Aljazeera about the MK-84 weapon the IDF is using in Gaza that is designed to generate so much heat it literally vaporizes people.Robert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency, to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the president of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations and the wealthy have over our democracy.Every American should be worried about fraud. So it's fine for the committee to be talking about fraud, but it should be based on actual facts and what's actually happening, which is not what's going on with this focus on Minnesota… And without a doubt, if the concern is about fraud in the public or the private economy right now, the number one problem with fraud is the Trump administration.Robert WeissmanThanks to the Supreme Court decision on Presidential immunity, Trump believes (correctly) that he will not be held criminally accountable for anything that he does while he's President. And that is true so long as that Supreme Court decision stands. And I think it's fair to say that basically everyone who's working for him right now—who I think are committing all kinds of crimes, including through the sale of pardons and through the outrageous use of ICE in Minnesota and around the country—I think they expect they're going to get pardoned before he goes. So I think they think they too will be (and they're probably not wrong in expecting it) that they too will be immune from criminal prosecution (at least federal criminal prosecution) for any crimes they commit while they're in the administration.Robert WeissmanIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 2/13/26* Our top stories this week concern the Jeffrey Epstein case. According to POLITICO, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who, along with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has led the charge to release the Epstein files, “took to the House floor Tuesday and read aloud the names of six ‘wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted,” in the files. These names include billionaire Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner, Emirati shipping magnate Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and Italian politician Nicola Caputo, among other more mysterious figures like Salvatore Nuara and Leonic Leonov. Khanna used congressional representatives' unique power under the speech and debate clause to make these names public, after combing through the files personally along with Rep. Massie. Khanna added “if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files.”* Speaking of hiding names in the files, Axios reports that Representative Jamie Raskin stated that “when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files… it came up ‘more than a million times.'” The implication of this statement is clear: Trump's cronies in the Justice Department are covering up the extent of Trump's relationship and involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Another member of the administration, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, admitted under Senate questioning that he had lunch with Epstein on his island, along with his family, claiming he “could not recall” why they did. The administration is allowing members of Congress to view the unredacted files within certain hours via a database they describe as confusing, unreliable, and clunky.* Another surprising revelation from the files is that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently solicited campaign donations from Epstein back in 2013. According to MSN, Epstein received a campaign solicitation via email from a fundraising firm touting Jeffries as “one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation,” and offering Epstein “an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.” Jeffries denies having any knowledge of this firm's outreach to Epstein and decried House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's implication that he had any relationship with the late sexual predator and financier, calling Comer a “stone cold liar” and a “malignant clown.”* In non-Epstein related news from Capitol Hill, last week lawmakers held a hearing to probe the operations of autonomous taxi service Waymo. While Republicans chose to focus on Waymo's supposed ties to Chinese companies, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts grilled the chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, on the company's reliance on workers abroad for key safety decisions. Peña admitted that while some operators are located in the US, others – who step in when robotaxis encounter “unusual situations” – work remotely from the Philippines. Markey called this “completely unacceptable,” emphasizing that these workers may need to react “in a split second” during dangerous scenarios. Waymo is just the latest company marketing its services as high tech and autonomous, but later revealed to be reliant on cheap foreign labor. This from Business Insider.* ICE lawlessness continues to roil Congress. Many Democrats are now sounding the alarm that Trump's immigration police – masked, armed, accountable directly to him and backed to the hilt by the administration – could be used as a tool to suppress voter turnout by conducting raids at or near polling locations, thereby scaring citizens into staying home. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said “Trump is trying to create a pretext to rig the election.” Murphy, along with some Senate Democratic allies, pushed leadership to demand that ICE be banned from polling sites as a condition of government shutdown negotiations, but leadership balked, per POLITICO. While such a scenario can sound far-fetched, Trump has “falsely and repeatedly claimed for more than a decade that millions of illegal immigrants vote in the U.S., arguing that was one factor in his 2020 loss,” and, just before the 2020 election, he pledged to send “sheriffs” and “law enforcement” to polling places.* Drop Site News' Jacqueline Sweet reports 70 organizations, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Unitarian, as well as civil rights, academic, legal, peace, and human rights groups, submitted a formal request to the National Security Division of the Justice Department seeking a “Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) investigation into Canary Mission.” Canary Mission is a shadowy, infamous group that tracks pro-Palestine activity on college campuses. In 2018, they appeared at the George Washington University wearing spooky masks in an attempt to intimidate the student government into voting down a BDS resolution. They failed. This latest letter comes on the heels of a Drop Site story from January that “showed among other things that Canary is operated in Israel by a large Israeli team.” As the letter notes, the Foreign Agent Registration Act “exists precisely to address this type of potential activity carried out in the United States for the benefit of a foreign country.”* In more news regarding pro-Palestine activism, last week, six defendants linked to Palestine Action, a direct action protest group in the United Kingdom, were acquitted of aggravated burglary in connection with an alleged break in at Elbit Systems, a defense firm with close ties to the Israeli military, in August 2024. The persecution of Palestine Action has gone far beyond normal law enforcement. Some activists have been in pre-trial detention for over 500 days, more than double the maximum limit set by the Crown Prosecution Service. The case of the Palestine Action protestors has drawn outcry from international human rights groups, including the United Nations and Human Rights Watch. As HRW notes, in July of last year, the British government declared Palestine Action a terrorist organization and have now detained over 2,700 protestors over infractions as minor as holding a sign reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” As of now, over 20 activists are still in detention awaiting trial, many beyond the legal limits, and the six acquitted activists may face retrial. But for now, the group has scored a major victory in the face of overwhelming odds.* Turning back to domestic news, New York Governor Kathy Hochul appears to have pulled off a fait accompli in her reelection campaign. Last year, former Representative Elise Stefanik dropped her bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination and sitting Rep. Mike Lawler declined to run. Now, Hochul's main primary opponent – Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado – has dropped his bid after Hochul secured the endorsements of New York City Mayor and political superstar Zohran Mamdani as well as the entirety of the New York Democratic congressional delegation. This from the New York Times. This is a stunning political feat for a Governor who won the narrowest gubernatorial election in the state since 1994 when she was last up in 2022. It now seems that Hochul will square off against Bruce Blakeman, the Trump-endorsed Republican executive of Nassau County in November.* Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the dynamic of the Mayoral race was upended this week by the last-minute decision of Councilmember Nithya Raman to throw her hat into the ring against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Raman, an urban planner by trade, chairs the Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee and has “built her political identity around tenant protections, homelessness policy and efforts to accelerate housing production,” per the Los Angeles Daily News. Raman was the first of several Councilmembers elected with DSA support and she has maintained a strong relationship with the local branch despite tensions with the national organization, primarily over Israel/Palestine issues. Bass, who won a narrow election against billionaire developer Rick Caruso in 2022, has faced harsh criticism over her handling of the devastating fires in 2025 and her inability to make significant progress on the city's homelessness crisis. However, Bass maintains the support of much of the city's Democratic establishment, including the unions and much of the City Council and Raman's late entry will make it difficult for her to consolidate majority support across the sprawling western metropolis.* Finally, in a David-and-Goliath tale, we turn to TJ Sabula, the UAW Local 600 Ford factory line worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector.” Infamously, the president retorted by giving Sabula the finger and mouthing, “F--- you.” Ironically, Trump also trotted out his iconic catchphrase “You're fired.” Well, Sabula was not fired – and in fact “has no discipline on his record,” – because he was protected by his union, per the Detroit News. In a recent address, UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson said “TJ, we got your back,” adding “In that moment, we saw what the president really thinks about working people…As UAW members, we speak truth to power. We don't just protect rights, we exercise them.” UAW President Shawn Fain, who has emerged as a firebrand leader of the revitalized labor movement, commented “That's a union brother who spoke up…He put his constitutional rights to work. He put his union rights to work.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing intense scrutiny following reports that she allegedly altered an after-action report on the devastating wildfires that claimed 31 lives. The LA Times, citing sources, claims Bass softened language implicating the city's lack of preparedness to avoid legal liability. Key changes allegedly involved understaffing and resource deployment failures. Reality TV star and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has accused Bass of 'criminal negligence,' while Rick Caruso, former mayoral candidate, called the report an 'outrage.' The controversy raises serious questions about transparency and accountability in Los Angeles city leadership and could have lasting political ramifications. This incident underscores the importance of honest reporting and responsible governance, especially during crises.

One year after the LA fires and only 13% of homes have rebuilding permits—yet investors are already scooping up 40% of the vacant lots that hit the market. What could go wrong? We dive into the mess that is LA's post-fire reality: homeowners trapped by underinsurance, bureaucratic permitting nightmares that'll stretch into the next decade, and investors circling like vultures while residents desperately try to hold onto their neighborhoods. Meanwhile, Rick Caruso is calling out "Firegate"—alleging the city deliberately altered after-action reports to shield Mayor Bass and the fire department from accountability. Remember when they told us the water reservoirs were full and the hydrants would work? How'd that turn out?Are we really surprised that people are selling when the rebuild timeline is measured in years, not months? Is anyone shocked that the city might be covering up its failures? When you're paying double mortgages, living in rentals, and watching permits move at government speed, selling that $600K lot starts looking pretty good.

In “Rebuilding Los Angeles,” broadcast journalist Kate Cagle examines the systems that failed us, the path forward and the innovative fire recovery efforts making L.A. more resilient.

Gary & Shannon dive into the workplace meltdown sweeping the country: nearly half of Gen Z wants to quit their jobs, and free cold brew and company retreats aren’t fixing it. They unpack why young workers feel exhausted, stuck, and underpaid—and debate whether chasing a better path is ambition or entitlement.Then it’s onto California politics, where Shannon begs for a “Rick Caruso–type reboot” as the June 2nd governor’s primary race looms. The gloves come off when they break down the newly surfaced “monster” videos of Rep. Katie Porter and what they reveal about the Dems’ talent pipeline, and California’s growing identity crisis.From there, they shift to Christmas readiness, luxury homebuilding in the Palisades, and Australia’s bold plan to ban social media for kids under 16. Finally, Gary & Shannon warn Californians not to forage for mushrooms unless they want a fast-track to liver failure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gary teams up with KFI’s Michael Monks for a fiery hour, starting with Thanksgiving traffic misery across LA and quickly jumping into a political thunderstorm. They break down the FBI’s reported monitoring of Newsom’s campaign, the indictment tied to his former chief of staff, and why the fallout may hit Xavier Becerra even harder. Then it’s the escalating Larry Summers mess, billionaire Tom Steyer launching his governor bid by dropping “bull s&t” in the first seconds of his announcement, and a rapid-fire look at the growing 2028 field: including Rick Caruso’s connection to the Palisades fires. All that, plus Michael’s demand: someone finally fix LA traffic!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PREVIEW Rick Caruso Visits Massive Homeless Encampments Posing Fire Threat in Sepulveda Basin. Jeff Bliss discusses the persistent issue of homeless encampments in California, specifically mentioning the massive Sepulveda Basin recreation area near Encino, which dwarfs Central Park and has hosted encampments for 10 years. These sites are seen as a severe fire threat because people are cooking or keeping warm and small fires quickly escalate in bad conditions. Firemen respond daily to calls, and large parts of the recreation area have burned. Rick Caruso, an outspoken politician, is on the scene, showing awareness and a desire to make changes. 1885 VENTURA CALIFORNIA

Smith's explanation of why Pete Buttigieg is polling at 0% among black voters despite leading the 2028 Democratic primary race overall, and weighs in on Denver's bid to host the Gay Games. Then, Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller dive into trending headlines, from Emma Raducanu wanting a crying baby removed during a tense 23-minute game, to Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon serve being interrupted by a rogue champagne cork, to Los Angeles officials cracking down on dangerous street takeover meet-ups with tougher penalties and possible jail time.Then, renowned attorney and author Alan Dershowitz calls in!

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off with a rant about his recent trip to the car wash, where a worker left tape stuck to his rear window wiper. He then shares stories from his time in San Diego, including a bizarre run-in with a crazy homeless guy. This leads to a deeper conversation about Los Angeles's homelessness crisis and an old hit piece on Dr. Drew, written when he volunteered to join the L.A. Homeless Services Authority. The article, headlined “Dr. Drew eyed for homeless commission, angering advocates who wonder: Is this a joke?”, becomes a jumping-off point for Adam to break down the politics and media spin surrounding the situation.Later, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins the show to discuss the latest headlines, starting with the dramatic moment NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch was rushed to the hospital after a post-race celebration went wrong. The 19-year-old had just scored a major win at Watkins Glen when he fell from the roof of his car, knocking himself out in front of the crowd. They also cover the backlash to David Justice's remarks about his ex-wife Halle Berry, where he claimed her lack of domestic habits played a role in their split—sparking a wave of online defense for Berry.

Rick shares whether he's considering another run for mayor, gives an inside look at his Palisades Rec Center renovation, and explains how he protected his own properties — and why a private fire department might be the smartest investment you can make.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH RICK CARUSO:WEBSITE: www.caruso.comINSTAGRAM: @rickcarusolaFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:Go to https://hometitlelock.com/adamcarolla and use promo code ADAM to get a FREE title history report so you can find out if you're already a victim AND 14 days of protection for FREE!

Dr. Drew asks how Rick Caruso foresaw the need to hire a private fire department just days before the Southern California wildfires hit, leading Adam to compare Caruso's foresight with Mayor Karen Bass's lackluster response. The conversation turns to an old LA Times article about how Dr. Drew was considered for the city's homeless commission, sparking backlash from the political left.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian and political commentator Dave Rubin calls in to talk about the rise of artificial intelligence—starting with his own experiment to let an AI version of himself host his show for a month.

Adam recounts a recent conversation with Rick Caruso about the state's wildfire response, while Dave shares how his move from California to Florida improved his quality of life. The two also dive into the importance of good governance, self-reliance, and the satisfaction that comes from building things with your hands.Elisha Krauss joins Adam in the studio to break down the headlines, starting with the internet's obsession over Pedro Pascal's so-called “hot girl anxiety.” They unpack the science behind physical touch as an anxiety-coping mechanism—and whether the internet's criticisms hold water. Then, they react to Jay Leno's recent comments on how modern late-night hosts risk alienating audiences by taking overt political stances. Adam weighs in on whether comedy still offers an escape from everyday life or has become yet another platform for ideological messaging.
