The Detroit Tigers ejected a baseball fan because she was wearing a “Jesus Over Pride” shirt. Staffers told her the shirt offended people and made them uncomfortable. I wonder how many Tigers fans were uncomfortable watching grown men parade around in pantyhose and feather boas?

We've got a packed show today. I mean PACKED. I have so many notes in front of me that if the FBI raided this studio they'd call it an “insurrection planner.” Half these stories I've been trying to get to for days, and every morning the news cycle shows up like a drunken Amazon driver throwing fresh insanity onto the porch.And let me tell you something: we are never catching up.Never.I could do this show seven days a week, eight hours a day, surviving entirely on caffeine and whatever chemicals they put in gas station beef jerky, and we'd still end every week with another mountain of madness to discuss. America has become a Netflix series written by people who got fired from reality television for being too unrealistic.But as they say, “Brevity is the soul of lingerie.”Which explains Congress perfectly. The less material involved, the more expensive it gets.Now, speaking of expensive coverups, Jill Biden made a revelation that shocked absolutely nobody. The media reacted like archaeologists discovering water in the ocean. “BREAKING NEWS: Joe Biden may have experienced cognitive decline!”Really? You don't say.This is the same man who has wandered off stages, shaken hands with invisible citizens, and looked at teleprompters like they were written in ancient Sanskrit. Joe Biden has spent the last several years speaking in a dialect I can only describe as Pharmaceutical Esperanto.And suddenly the media wants to pretend they just noticed?That's the part that fascinates me. Not the decline. The cover-up. Because everybody knew. Democrats knew. Journalists knew. Staffers knew. Jill knew. The Easter Bunny knew. The only people left pretending were the same folks who told us inflation was “transitory,” the border was “secure,” and men could get pregnant if you just believed hard enough.Now Jill Biden, Doctor Jill, Patron Saint of Denial, is out there acting wounded by the scrutiny. Ma'am, people aren't upset because your husband aged. Everybody ages. America would've shown grace for aging. What people resent is being lied to with the enthusiasm of a timeshare salesman trapped in a pyramid scheme.And now we find out Team Biden is trying to keep information sealed about his cognitive condition going all the way back to 2012?Two thousand TWELVE.That means Joe Biden may have been mentally buffering longer than most people have owned their smartphones.Think about that historically for a second. In 2012, people were still arguing over Bluetooth earpieces. Gas was under four bucks in many places. TikTok didn't exist yet. Hunter Biden probably still had at least one functioning laptop.And somewhere in Washington, insiders allegedly knew Joe Biden's brain was running Windows 95 in Safe Mode.Yet they still shoved him into office. Why? Because modern politics isn't about leadership anymore. It's Weekend at Bernie's with nuclear codes. The presidency became a puppet theater where anonymous staffers, activist bureaucrats, and ideological interns ran the machinery while the Commander in Chief searched for exits like he was trapped in an IKEA showroom.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Former Northern Territory child protection workers have spoken out about the NT's proposed legislative changes, following the death of Kumanjayi Little Baby.

Opposition Leader Chris Hipkins wouldn't say whether his internal polling indicates he would need Te Pāti Māori's support to form a government if Labour is successful in this year's election. Speaking to Canterbury Mornings, the Labour Party leader said the internal polling he receives shows Labour in the “high thirties”, and he is confident the party is on the right track to win in November. "My goal is to make sure Labour gets the most votes and is in the strongest possible position going into any post-election discussion." After it was revealed that an ex-Labour staffer is behind the social media account "luxury_marmite_sandwich", which has been trolling Government MPs, Hipkins said it had nothing to do with his party, and that some of the content posted by the page was objectionable. "To be very, very clear, that has nothing to do with us" "I have asked my office to go back to him (ex-staffer) and be very clear that no footage that he had access to from his time working for us should be used in any of the material that he is producing now." They also discussed proposed changes to climate change laws, whether Hipkins believes there should be any further public funding for Christ Church Cathedral, and his thoughts on Judith Collins as she bows out of politics this week.

We all saw the video of FBI Director Kash Patel boozing it up in the locker room with the U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey Team. It seems that behavior wasn't a one-off. New reports in The Atlantic detail accusations by those in Patel's inner circle that he drinks to excess, passes out and has been unreachable behind the locked doors of his office. Staffers say they even have trouble waking him up. Patel denies the reports and is threatening to sue the Atlantic over the story. If it is true, it brings great concern about security in America at a time when Trump has lashed out at countries around the world, including Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland and Canada and has put a spotlight, or target, on the U.S. It's a very bad time to have an FBI director sloppy drunk and passed out at the helm. We welcome iHeart political analyst Gary Dietrich to the show to talk about this and more.

 A government investigation into Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has uncovered text messages allegedly sent by her husband and father to young female staffers, according to a report by The New York Times.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI WANTS TO SPEND $30 MILLION ON A GOVERNMENT-OWNED GROCERY STORE IN A CITY THAT IS ALREADY BROKE. The media wants you to think Mamdani is a bold young reformer trying to make New York affordable. He is not. New York City is staring at a massive fiscal hole, small grocers are already operating on razor-thin margins, and Mamdani's answer is to use taxpayer money to become their subsidized competitor. We break down the math, the ideology, and the people who actually get crushed when government decides it wants to run the corner store. Plus -- Eric Swalwell's collapse is one of the clearest windows you will ever get into how the Democratic machine really works. Four women came forward. Endorsements vanished overnight. Staffers sprinted for the exits. And Ruben Gallego performed the political version of "shocked, shocked" so hard he deserves his own Oscar category. The story is ugly. The timeline is worse. And the party that spent years telling you to believe women suddenly needed a newspaper first.

WHO DO YOU BLAME?Trump, duhPaul Atkins, duhSEC re-tread: served as an SEC Commissioner from 2002 to 2008 under George W. Bush Private Sector Influence: founded Patomak Global Partners om 2009, a powerful consulting firm that advised major financial institutions (like Goldman Sachs) and crypto giants (like FTX and Coinbase) on how to navigate the very regulations he now oversees.the wealthiest SEC Chair in history: $330M net worthUpon being confirmed as Chair in 2025, Atkins sold his stake in Patomak Global Partners but refused to disclose the identity of the buyer, leading critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren to call the payout a "pre-bribe" from industry players.Shortly after taking office, Atkins oversaw the dismissal of high-profile "regulation by enforcement" cases against Coinbase and Binance, effectively handing the keys of the financial system to the crypto industry that funded his firmIn 2006, Atkins infamously argued that granting executives stock options right before good news was released shouldn't be considered insider trading: "It is cheaper to pay a person with well-timed options than with cash."During his first stint as Commissioner (2002–2008), Atkins was a staunch opponent of increased oversight for investment banks. He is frequently blamed for ignoring the systemic risks that eventually led to the subprime mortgage collapse.Elon Musk (DOGE):Under directives from DOGE, the SEC was required to submit plans for "large-scale reductions in force" (RIFs). This resulted in the termination of many probationary employees (those with less than two years of service) and several senior directors at regional offices.To avoid even more aggressive firing, the SEC offered $50,000 buyouts to staffers who agreed to leave voluntarily. This led to a significant "brain drain" of veteran trial lawyers and investigators.Staffers linked to Elon Musk and the DOGE initiative were placed in key administrative roles (like the Office of Personnel Management) to oversee these cuts, effectively bypassing the traditional civil service protections that usually slow down government layoffs.Biden, for allowing so many enforcements MMHudson Technologies Announces Election of Alan Sheriff and Jeffrey Feeler as Independent Directors. WHO DO YOU BLAME?Top shareholder Ernest Lazarus (9%). Lazarus is primarily a biblical figure from the New Testament known for being raised from the dead by Jesus after four days. The name represents resurrection, returning from the brink of failure, or a person overcoming extreme adversity. I'm thinking he needed a Sheriff in case all that digging up corpses from cemeteries went sour.Director Loan Mansy. Getting a good loan is all about putting out feelers to different banks so Loan needed a Feeler to get shit done.Director Vincent P. Abbatecola.Forgive me, maybe I watch too many episodes of The Sopranos but Vinnie used to be the Chairman of the National Packaged Ice Association and that just sounds a bit scary and a bit made up. Like, put him on Ice, Vinny.Speaking of death, Vinny is also a director on the United Hospice Board.And speaking of God, he also serves on the St. Thomas Aquinas College President's Council. St. Thomas Aquinas was declared a “Doctor of the Church” and had mystical experiences. Feeler and Sheriff? That is so Tommy Aquinas.Director, CEO, President, Chair, former COO, former CFO and top shareholder (6%) Brian F. Coleman, who has been with the company since 1997 and somehow still sits on the Nomination Committee! Dude, that is soooo cheating and you know he was the one who asked for a Sheriff and a Feeler. DRMATTMicrosoft Pauses Carbon Removal Purchases.Satya NadellaChair and CEO with 27% influenceIT WAS HIS TARGET - carbon negative by 2030One year later on LinkedIn: “As a company, we've set ambitious climate goals to be carbon negative, zero waste, and water positive by 2030, and we're making progress as we work towards a more sustainable future”And last year, MSFT's chief sustainability officer Melanie Nakagawa: "In 2020, Microsoft leaders referred to our sustainability goals as a 'moonshot', and nearly five years later, we have had to acknowledge that the moon has gotten further away."It's worth pointing out - any target set by an executive they don't hit is a failure of leadership - either the target was ill conceived, not ever meant to be attained, or they just failed to actually manage to the target. There aren't other options - if I set a target at Free Float of $1bn in sales by 2030, invest entirely in crypto, lose it all, and we achieve $45 in parking tickets by 2030, do I blame the changing market environment and just skip the target?

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Eugenia Woo, Director of Preservation Services for the non-profit preservation group Historic Seattle. An article in the Seattle Times on Monday, April 13, 2026 by Catalina Gaitán ("Seattle officials seek permit to fix Gas Works Park ‘hazard'") characterizes a move made by the City of Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections as a way for City of Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation officials to "sidestep" the work of volunteer members of the City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods' Landmarks Preservation Board, and move forward with removal of elements of the historic towers at the popular park. Parks and Recreation has been seeking permission to remove "appurtenances" - walkways, ladders, etc. - from the historic towers preserved in the park as part of landscape architect Rich Haag's revolutionary design more than a half-century ago. We dive deep into the issue with Eugenia Woo of Historic Seattle about how we got here, and what this means going forward - and we ask if cynicism is warranted when examining the facts surrounding this move by the City of Seattle to effectively undermine its own volunteer Landmarks Preservation Board. After this conversation was recorded late Monday afternoon (April 13, 2026), Bryan Stevens from the Department of Construction and Inspections responded to an email question about whether or not Seattle Parks and Recreation needs to further consult with the Landmarks Preservation Board or seek any additional permission or approval before removing material from the protected elements of the towers. "[L]imited removal of landmark features may proceed without Landmark Preservation Board approval," Stevens wrote. Further, based on what Stevens also wrote, SDCI - not the Landmarks Preservation Board - now has permit authority over changes made to historic elements at Gas Works Park. "A permit application has been submitted and is under review now (7136018-CN)," Stevens continued. "Once reviews are approved, we will issue the permit and re-inspect the site to confirm the hazards have been removed. The timing of removal is best answered by Parks and Recreation."

Donald Trump's approval rating on every issue continues to plummet, as does his support among every demographic, and that has left Fox News hosts in a tough spot to try to spin their way out of it. But they haven't given up. On Friday's episode of The Five, one of the hosts suggested that Trump's low numbers were not only "expected," but they were due to him being a "victim of his own success" because voters hold him to a higher standard than other human beings. These folks' brains are melting in real time.Staffers in the Trump administration don't have a shortage of excuses ready to go for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's bizarre behavior and nonstop costume play, but they are sick and tired of having to give them out. According to a new report, Trump officials are growing exhausted by Noem's behavior and they are ready for her to be gone from the administration. Reports have previously suggested that Trump wants Noem gone himself, and that she is looking for a way to exit before being fired. The planned bailout for American farmers was supposed to be Donald Trump's way of buying their loyalty for another election cycle, but these farmers have been through this song and dance far too many times now to fall for it. They are now speaking out about being used as "political pawns" by the man that they helped put back in office, and they are tired of being abused over and over again by him. And they aren't the only Trump supporters speaking out about his presidency.The Republican-controlled House of Representatives broke a LOT of really bad records this year, the most obvious of which was presiding over the longest government shutdown in American history. But in addition to that grim milestone, this Congress also passed the fewest number of bills EVER, while also seeing a record number of members announce that they are retiring (most of them being Republicans.) This is officially the most "do-nothing Congress" in history.Joe Rogan was absolutely ecstatic when Donald Trump won the 2024 election, as he had spent months trashing Joe Biden while promoting Trump. But just a year later things are completely different, and Rogan has apparently come to the realization that Trump is an unhinged lunatic who can't do anything right. On his podcast on Friday with guest Shane Gillis, Rogan tore into Trump about multiple recent issues that Trump brought upon himself, including his disgusting response to Rob Reiner's murder. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

According to new reports, Donald Trump spent the past week raging at staffers as the media continued to hammer him over his physical and mental health. Trump repeatedly falling asleep during multiple different meetings last week, which didn't help the situation at all. But anger isn't going to make the problem go away, and the public is becoming less and less convinced about the health claims coming from the administration. The Trump administration has awarded a multi-million dollar government contract to a company that Donald Trump, Jr. invested heavily in earlier this year. This is so much worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing, yet not a single Republican lawmaker has gone on record expressing outrage over the blatant corruption and abuse of power taking place between Trump and his kids. Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security lowered their standards for ICE agents earlier this year - along with reducing training times - in order to meet Donald Trump's demands for immigration raids. A new investigation has found that the people the agency is hiring are less than stellar, featuring many with horrific criminal records and even gang ties. This was the most predictable thing that has happened so far this year.More stories are emerging about how Republicans in Washington, D.C. are growing increasingly tired of the "daily humiliations" of the Trump administration, and a Republican insider says that he knows exactly when Republicans are going to turn against Trump in a massive wave. That moment will come when we hit the "filing deadlines" next year, according to the insider, because Republicans will know who is running against them in the primaries and who is NOT. This will give them an enormous amount of freedom to finally break away from Trump,.According to a new poll of Donald Trump's own supporters, more of them say that they do NOT want him to serve a third term in office than say that they DO want him for an additional four years. While the number who still want a third term is way too high, the fact that after one year most of his own supporters are ready to be done says a lot about what has happened. And it also blows a major hole in the talking points (and merch) from Trump and his allies who insist he'll be back again. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

From April 5, 2024: A new report from the POPVOX Foundation focuses on a little-known and hugely under-appreciated congressional effort: that of congressional staffers helping Afghan allies flee the country during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Lawfare Executive Editor Natalie Orpett sat down with the report's author, Anne Meeker. They talked about what staffers did to help, the challenges they faced, and how the experience exposed both weaknesses and strengths in how Congress functions.

Former palace staffers have painted a disturbing portrait of Prince Andrew, Duke of York's behaviour behind the scenes — revealing a man whose temper, demands and eccentricities ran rough-shod over those who worked for him. One ex-security officer recounted that waking him in the morning might provoke “a ‘fuck-off' as good-morning” type of greeting, highlighting a habitual pattern of verbal abuse rather than gratitude. Another claimed that Andrew would become irrationally angry if his large collection of teddy bears on his bed was not arranged to his exacting specifications — a detail staff were expected to maintain daily or face his wrath.Beyond the mood swings and bizarre routines, the accounts describe a royal who treated staff as if they existed solely to serve his whims, not as individuals with dignity. According to staffers, he routinely dismissed them with contempt for trivial failings — even repositioning workers or transferring them because of a “tie that wasn't silk” or a “mole he disliked” on their face. These stories underscore a deeper problem: Andrew's sense of entitlement and the unchecked power he wielded in his private household, which helped fuel his broader fall from grace within the institution he once represented.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
