End of Year Wrap Up, Fear Factor - Double Bubble Edition and You Can't Apply Logic to Crazy

Two cases this week that expose exactly how broken the American legal system is — in completely opposite directions. In Arkansas, Aaron Spencer is heading to trial for stopping Michael Fosler, a 67-year-old man with 43 felony charges who was out on bond and actively taking Spencer's 13-year-old daughter in the middle of the night. Fosler had already assaulted her once. A no-contact order was in place. The system knew he was dangerous and let him walk anyway. When Spencer's daughter ended up in Fosler's truck heading toward Fosler's house, Spencer did what the system refused to do — he protected his child. Now prosecutors want to use body cam footage from three months earlier to argue premeditation. They want a jury to believe a father in shock, processing his daughter's disclosure, was actually planning something. The defense says this was a kidnapping in progress and Arkansas law justified every action Spencer took. In California, Rob Reiner's son Nick is accused of taking both of his parents' lives after years of addiction and mental illness that the family publicly tried to address. They had money. They had access. They had every resource available. But California law doesn't let you force an adult into treatment — no matter how sick they are, no matter how many times they've been hospitalized, no matter how obvious the trajectory is. You just wait. The Reiners waited. And now they're gone. One father acted because the system let a predator walk. One father couldn't act because the system tied his hands. Both families deserved better. This episode breaks down the legal fights in both cases and what they reveal about a system that fails victims at every turn. #AaronSpencer #RobReiner #SystemFailed #TrueCrime #FathersRights #MentalHealthLaw #ChildProtection #JusticeSystem #DefenseOfOthers #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Advent // Joy The word for Joy is the Greek word “Chara - Khar-ah,” meaning calm delight or cheerfulness, or “Chairo - Khah-ee-ro,” meaning to be calmly happy or well-off. Philippians 4:4 (KJV)"Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice." Matthew 2:1-18 (NLT)“Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.' King Herod was deeply disturbed when he heard this, as was everyone in Jerusalem. He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, ‘Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?' ‘In Bethlehem in Judea,' they said, ‘for this is what the prophet wrote: ‘And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, are not least among the ruling cities of Judah, for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.' Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared. Then he told them, ‘Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!' After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. When it was time to leave, they returned to their own country by another route, for God had warned them in a dream not to return to Herod. After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up! Flee to Egypt with the child and his mother,' the angel said. ‘Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.' That night Joseph left for Egypt with the child and Mary, his mother, and they stayed there until Herod's death. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: ‘I called my Son out of Egypt.' Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had outwitted him. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, based on the wise men's report of the star's first appearance. Herod's brutal action fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: a cry was heard in Ramah—weeping and great mourning. Rachel weeps for her children, refusing to be comforted, for they are dead.”      On a day when we announce good news of great joy. It doesn't sound very joyful…It is because of the Nature of this Joy.This is a Joy that is Stronger and Deeper than our Sorrows; A Joy that Cannot be Quenched by the Tragedies of Life; A Joy that can Sustain those who Suffer Great Loss.A Joy that Shines in the Darkness... Whatever the circumstances of our world and our lives, the message given to Joseph by the angel is true, and it's a message of joy—“Give him the name Jesus, because He will save His People from Their sins.” The Joy of Christmas is not just the Joy of personal salvation; it's the Joy of being part of something bigger, grander, and greater—it's the Joy of being able to participate in and cooperate with Christ in the coming and establishing of God's kingdom. It's in our coming together, it's in our unity of heart and purpose, it's in our giving and serving, it's in our intentionality in the midst of our community.It's the Joy of living out of all that we are blessed with to be a blessing to others.It's the Joy of being a participant in the message of salvation to the world. Joy to the World

There have been many films and documentaries about the thrill and struggle of climbing Everest and with social media it has become an ever more popular destination.  Just this year a French youtuber has broken audience records for his film ‘Kaizen' about his challenge that he made to conquer Everest in just one year.  Over the past century, over 340 climbers have died on its peaks, with 2015 being the deadliest year with 22 fatalities. Most deaths result from avalanches, falls, and mountain sickness, which occurs at high altitudes due to low oxygen levels and can cause fatal brain or lung edema. Isn't Everest extremely dangerous? How do you get the bodies down? What happened in the storm of ‘96? What about over-tourism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

This Rob Reiner story is one of those stories that makes you stop and really think about what's happening inside families when the doors are closed and the holidays are supposed to bring everyone together. In this review, we're also going to acknowledge the tragedy at Bondi Beach, because these events didn't happen in isolation — they reflect a broader pattern of violence and emotional fracture surfacing during moments that are meant to be about peace and connection. The Rob Reiner case forces a hard conversation about how stress, long-standing addiction issues, and unresolved family conflict can quietly build beneath the surface, even in families that love each other deeply. Let's walk through what's known so far, what police have said, and why these tragedies fit a pattern we see far too often when emotional pressure peaks and warning signs go unaddressed.#RobReiner #MicheleReiner #NickReiner #BondiBeach #Australia #Sydney #JewishCommunity #StarOfDavid #AntisemitismAwareness #HolidaySafety #HolidayStress #FamilyViolence #DomesticViolence #DV #DomesticRisk #FamilyCrisis #AddictionAwareness #MentalHealth #LAPD #LosAngeles #Brentwood #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #HolidayDV #ViolencePrevention #FamilyTragedy #PersonOfInterestEmail your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

In this episode of Words With Wista, we're unpacking Trump calling the affordability crisis a “hoax” while the data tells a very different story, tourists being asked to submit five years of social media history to visit the U.S., and multiple devastating tragedies from Brown University to Australia's Bondi Beach that raise serious questions about safety and accountability. We also get into the rising cases of HIV in NYC, Busta Rhymes checking a TikToker, a University of Michigan football scandal that reportedly led to an arrest, and an OnlyFans creator facing major legal trouble overseas. Plus, Jason Derulo rewriting his personal rules post-lawsuit, Beyoncé and friends stepping into Met Gala 2026 leadership, Russell Simmons responding to Kimora Lee Simmons, a jaw-dropping $2.5M NYC restaurant scheme, and the shocking passing of Rob Reiner and his wife. Heavy news, loud celebrities, and the mess in between. IG: itswista IG/SubStack: wordswithwista

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss three violent incidents from the weekend: the antisemitic massacre at Bondi Beach in Australia that left 15 dead and 40 wounded, the shooting at Brown University where the assailant is still at large, and the attack on U.S. troops in Syria that left two US soldiers and an interpreter dead. Then, they discuss CBS News Editor Bari Weiss' town hall event with Erika Kirk and the announcement that Kirk plans to meet privately with Candace Owens. Next, they talk about the fight over control of Warner Bros/Disney between Netflix and Paramount, and what it may mean for the future of CNN. Then finally, they discuss the release by House Democrats of new photos and images from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, including pictures of Donald Trump. And tragically, director and political activist Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered this weekend, Reiner's son is in custody, and President Donald Trump reacted with a social media post.

If you deny truth and excuse hatred, history will answer with blood. The Ringmaster James T. covers all the tragedies from this past weekend and gets down to the root of it. Somali leaders hold a press conference to take blame for the failure of their community during the fiasco in Minnesota and ask for forgiveness from the American people, but is it too little too late? We check in with the Conservative Circus listeners to get their thoughts, but if you ask Tim Walz, the answer is simple, it's the white man's fault.

Greg Belfrage talks to callers about the tragic shootings that happened over the weekend including Brown University. Brown University was considered a gun free zone. Many callers said that public spaces with gun free zones make it easier for shooters to kill people because no one has a weapon to defend themselves.

There are moments in life that split everything into “before” and “after.” And for Ben Longshore, it began with one sentence from his father: “Take care of your mom and sister.” Hours later, he learned there was no pulse.In this raw and deeply human conversation, I sit down with my cousin Ben, someone I've known my entire life, as he opens up about the night his dad unexpectedly passed away, the weight of being 16 when everything changed, and the choice to step into a role he never asked for. His story doesn't end there. Seven years later, another tragedy struck our family, forcing him to face grief all over again and ask the questions no one wants to ask: Why now? How do you keep going? Where is God in all this? This episode is about loss, faith, resilience, family, and the quiet strength you don't know you have until life demands it. If you've walked through grief, felt responsible for others, or wondered how to rebuild after tragedy, this conversation will stay with you.Watch this episode to hear Ben's powerful journey and be reminded that even in the heaviest moments, hope still has a voice.Key Moments:0:00 The Last Words His Dad Ever Said3:00 The Day That Changed His Life Forever7:04 The Moment He Knew Something Was Wrong12:18 The Night Before Everything Went Wrong17:10 The Prayer That Shifted the Room21:45 Telling His Sister Their Dad Was Gone25:40 How the Community Showed Up Overnight30:12 The Spiritual Perspective That Saved Him35:40 The Father-Son Moments He Still Misses39:54 Dreams, Football, and a Life Rewritten43:02 Why Showing Up Matters More Than Words49:35 The 30-Hour Drive They'll Never Forget51:20 Seven Years Later, Another Tragedy Hits55:24 “Nick Is in the Hospital”: Reliving Old Trauma59:58 The ATV Accident That Changed Everything1:03:49 Praying for a Miracle That Didn't Come1:07:22 Helping His Sister-in-Law Survive the Impossible1:12:28 The Organ Donor Story No One Expected1:17:08 How That Meeting Changed Their Family Forever1:23:56 How He Leads His Family Differently Now1:28:40 Why “Stepping Up” Matters More Than EverGuest Info:IG: @‌ben.longshore

Kentucky is experiencing its largest spike in whooping cough cases since 2012, an alarming rise that has already claimed the lives of three infants in the past year. In this episode, Dr. Steven Stack, Secretary of Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services, joins us to unpack what's driving the surge, why waning vaccination rates matter, and how misinformation is complicating public health response efforts.  Dr. Stack, ASTHO member and former ASTHO president, explains the cyclical nature of pertussis, how the pandemic disrupted typical disease patterns, and why the current spike is more severe than expected. He discusses the heartbreaking reality that none of the infants who died were vaccinated, and neither were their mothers, despite well-established evidence that maternal vaccination can provide newborns with lifesaving early protection.Creating Shared Vision and Governance for Data Modernization in Vermont | ASTHODon't Panic!

The significance of the full title: the definition of “Moor,” the associations of Venice. Othello as a “domestic” tragedy: an inadequate designation. The play opens in darkness. Desdemona's father Brabantio is awakened when Roderigo and Iago shout vicious racist and sexist accusations out of the dark.

Tragedies happen.  They are painful.  They are unfair.  They are often unavoidable.  And that would be WHY they are tragedy.  In the aftermath of tragedy, we find the character of leaders.  This is to say, Mad King Donnie responds poorly to tragedy.  He responds poorly to adversity, to criticism, to essentially everything to which a leader must respond.  Now watch the over-reaction, it's the clue to what is truly happening.The protestation, the tantrums, the accusations are all projection.  Watch closely and be ready.-T*CORRECTION...the Hegseth "Kill Em All" story was in the Washington Post, so I was wrong on both guesses!

This week we are chatting with Tony Guseli.Born in Australia to Italian immigrant parents, Tony has discovered a strong passion into family research. He shared with us some of the interesting stories he has uncovered, particularly in relation to his Grandfather's story of being abandoned at birth in Italy.Tony also told us some fascinating details about the Snowy Scheme, a hydroelectricity and irrigation complex located in New South Wales. With work on the scheme commencing in 1949, it is the largest engineering project ever undertaken in Australia. The Snowy Scheme employed hundreds of migrant men from several places, including Italy. Many people don't know the story of the Snowy Scheme and of its many accidents which claimed the lives of 121 men, 27 of whom were Italian. One of those men was Tony's uncle Antonio. Tony is on a mission to tell the story of these men and has already spent countless hours on research. It's a huge task and without Tony's efforts these stories will not be told.If you have any details which can be added to Tony's research he asks that you please reach out, you can do this getting in touch with us or by clicking the links in the show notes.Tony's email:guselitvg@bigpond.comItalian Australian Podcast email:italianaustralianpodcast@gmail.com

Regulating AI and Protecting Children. Kevin Frazier (Law School Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin) addresses the growing concern over AI chatbots following tragedies, noting that while only 1.9% of ChatGPT conversations relate to "relationships," this fraction still warrants significant attention. He criticizes early state legislative responses, such as Illinois banning AI therapy tools, arguing that such actions risk denying mental health support to children who cannot access human therapists. Frazier advocates against imposing restrictive statutory law on the rapidly evolving technology. Instead, he recommends implementing a voluntary, standardized rating system, similar to the MPA film rating system. This framework would provide consumers with digestible information via labels—like "child safe" or "mental health appropriate"—to make informed decisions and incentivize industry stakeholders to develop safer applications. 1919
