Concerns grow as the fourth storm in a week hits Southern California, bringing flood advisories and renewed worry for burn-scar areas and vulnerable foothill communities like Altadena. Michael Monks weighs in on the troubled Dodger Stadium gondola project, now facing turbulence as Los Angeles officials look to potentially halt it. The proposed $500 million aerial tramway would connect the stadium to Union Station, aiming to ease game-day traffic. Supporters argue it would reduce congestion, while critics cite studies showing minimal impact on car use. Jay Leno opens up about his 45-year marriage and the emotional challenges of wife Mavis’ declining health due to dementia, sharing that he still “melts” when she looks at him despite the difficult journey. As the storm moves through SoCal, another headline pops: Carmel, California considers banning pickleball in a city park after rising noise complaints from nearby residents.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From "King Tut" to the top of the bluegrass charts! Grammy and IBMA award-winning banjoists and songwriters Steve Martin and Alison Brown join us to chat about their respective careers and their first full-length collaborative album, Safe, Sensible and Sane. PART ONEPaul and Scott chat about how impressed they are with all the various hats Alison Brown and Steve Martin wear, while also trying to wrap their heads around the seeming complexity of the banjo. PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Steve Martin and Alison BrownABOUT STEVE MARTIN AND ALISON BROWNThough he began his career as a stand-up comedian, Steve Martin has released more musical albums than comedy albums. Between 2009 and 2017 he issued six, many of which were collaborations with Steep Canyon Rangers, Edie Brickell, or both. They all reached number one on the bluegrass chart, and nearly all appeared on the Billboard 200. He has been nominated for 15 Grammy awards and has won five, including Best American Roots Song, Best Bluegrass Album, and Best Country Instrumental Performance for his appearance on “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” alongside Earl Scruggs, Vince Gill, Albert Lee, and Glen Duncan on the 2001 album Earl Scruggs and Friends. Martin's latest album, his seventh bluegrass chart topper, is called Safe, Sensible and Sane, and is a collaboration with fellow banjoist Alison Brown.Brown first came to prominence as a member of Alison Krauss and Union Station and, in 1991, became the first woman to win the International Bluegrass Association's Banjo Player of the Year award. After a stint as Michelle Shocked's band leader she launched a solo career blending bluegrass, jazz, Latin, and Celtic influences. She has received two Grammy nominations for Best Bluegrass Album, and two for Best Country Instrumental Performance, one of which she won for “Leaving Cottondale,” a collaboration with Bela Fleck. In 2015 Alison received the Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association for the furtherance of bluegrass music. She and Martin first collaborated on “Foggy Mountain Breaking” from her 2023 album, On Banjo.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

News broke last week that NBA Hall of Famer and “King of Park Hill” Chauncey Billups was allegedly involved in a multi-million dollar mafia-run poker scheme and potentially sharing insider information on NBA games that he was coaching.  Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi dig into the downfall of this hometown hero and if it could change the way Denverites feel about sports betting. Then, they discuss Wynkoop's car-free trial period and hear from listeners about the STAR program, gubernatorial frontrunner and Senator Michael Bennet, and shooting police drones out of the sky.  Bree mentioned a piece from The Athletic about Chauncey Billups and our past interview with Carleigh Sailon, a clinician who helped launch Denver's STAR Program. We also talked about our Monday interview with Senator Michael Bennet. If Denver was a house, Union Station would be the living room. But what would be the mudroom? Or the bathroom? Or the backyard?

Mon, Oct 27 9:31 PM → 10:01 PM 5D to Union Station Radio Systems: - DC Fire and EMS

The first chord hits and the room lifts. That's the magic Robbie Johnson chases with his country-flavored take on You Shook Me All Night Long—faithful to AC/DC's fire, sparking new life with a searing fiddle solo and tasteful B3 that make crowds throw their hands up without missing the original's bite. We dig into how Robbie and producer Danny Rader protected the heart of the song, why restraint can be a power move in the studio, and how a great mix turns memory into momentum.From there, we wander Nashville's storied halls—Ryman, Union Station, RCA Victor—and trade stories about haunted spaces, legendary sessions, and the way a room shapes a record. Robbie opens up about a chilling encounter from his childhood, and we test the line between superstition and stagecraft. It's a perfect bridge into a bigger theme: places, people, and production choices that define country music's feel.We also get candid about the current landscape. Alan Jackson's farewell celebration, Clint Black's BMI Icon moment, and the Zach Bryan effect—why raw, imperfect recordings can feel truer than polished gloss. We unpack streaming's role in widening country's lanes, how Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton shifted radio's center of gravity, and why wordplay winners like Bar, None stick. The mailbag brings sharp opinions on small venues versus stadiums, the resurgence of vinyl and liner notes, and AI's looming influence on songwriting and sound design. Through it all, we keep returning to what lasts: honest lyrics, smart arrangements, and performances built for sing-alongs you can feel in your chest.Episode LinksChris Lusinger: https://jayfranze.com/episode17/Paul Leim: https://jayfranze.com/episode48/Andy Hull: https://jayfranze.com/episode81/Robby Johnson: https://jayfranze.com/episode95/High Mountain Breezes: https://jayfranze.com/episode113/Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Consulting: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

SEASON 4 EPISODE 8: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Donald Trump might as well have shot those kids in Minneapolis himself yesterday. Trump sends the WRONG guns in the WRONG hands to the WRONG places pursuing the WRONG criminals. You want to be tough on crime, Trump? Deploy the National Guard to the headquarters of the gun-manufacturing companies and arrest the monsters who make their money from the child-murdering business. Murdering children during their thoughts and prayers. And have ICE round up the politician prostitutes who take the gun money to protect a lie about what the second amendment really means. These are the criminals. Trump is the criminal. Trump is soft on crime, especially on the most prevalent, heart-rending crime of our century, school shootings. You want to push back against Trump as he militarizes this country? As he makes it The United Police States of America? You want to make something good happen in the wake of these latest children that we as a nation have sacrificed on our mindless altar of worship to guns? You want these to be the last? You have to say it; you have to SAY the truth: Trump might as well have shot them himself. Democrats are strangling themselves by listening to consultants and strategists who insist they cannot push back on Trump's deployment of troops in big cities because polling shows Trump's only policy that gets approval (53%) is his new stance on "crime." And yet the biggest political event of the week was a man who simply stood up and concisely and with controlled rage told the truth: Trump is crazy, Trump is trying to provoke violence, Trump's enablers will be prosecuted (or betrayed by him), and the media is bothsidesing us to death. His name is Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois and his comments may have been the true headline of this week. Also, bookkeeping news: the fine folks at iHeart and I have agreed to continue this podcast through at least the midterms. And a further announcement on a wider footprint is coming. B-Block (27:33) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: This may be the best edition of this, ever. Could this be the craziest thing (out of the 50,000 crazy things) Stephen Miller has said? Is he the first person to use the phrase "pool hall" in 60 years? Oh here we go: my ex is back in the news and stuck with the worst headline I've ever read: "RFK Jr's Digital Lover." And Candace Owens is being sued for defamation by the President and 1st Lady of France and she wants Trump to declare them "foreign invaders" and is amazed he won't because she's just not bright. C-Block (44:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Do people like Owens believe the crap they spout? I actually have 45 years' experience dealing with the phenomenon of the product subsuming the salesman. I met Rush Limbaugh when he was just a baseball guy and 30 years ago he stood at my desk at ESPN dreaming of doing SportsCenter. I knew Hannity when he said "why do people get worked up about this? It's just TV?" And then the link is established. The more they believe, the more money they make.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Headlines: On the first day back at Annunciation Catholic School, a 23-year-old former student killed two kids, injured 17 others, and then himself. He left behind a manifesto filled with antisemitic and racist rants, even scrawling “6 million wasn't enough” on his gun, the FBI is investigating it as domestic terrorism.

While D.C. residents are enjoying feeling safe on the streets of their community once again, angry middle class suburban protesters want the National Guard to leave the crime ridden city. When Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the National Guard troops at Union Station this week, protesters used their First Amendment rights to demand things go back to the status quo in the nation's Capital.    On this week's edition of Problematic Women, we discuss the radical left's bizarre campaign against the Trump administration's efforts to improve safety in Washington's D.C.    Also on today's show, President Donald Trump is working to secure a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, which might explain why Trump has not made many public appearances since his meeting with European leaders on Monday - he's business negotiating a peace plan.     And Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese joins the show to give us an inside look into Air Force One and the press briefing room of the White House.    Plus, the Travis Kelce photoshoot is … well, we'll let you decide.

President Trump says he wants to end mail-in voting and voting machines. The Constitution outlines that state governments manage their elections, but in a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the states simply serve as agents for the federal government. "They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do," he wrote. Any change to the way Americans vote would need congressional approval. The president has already pushed to solidify a Republican majority in Congress by supporting the redrawing of congressional maps in Texas. That new map could add another five seats for the GOP in the House.Could the president use that majority to end voting by mail? What are the implications of this for American democracy and states' rights over elections?National Guard troops are still patrolling the streets of Washington D.C. When Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller visited National Guard troops at D.C.'s Union Station, they faced protestors shouting, “Free D.C.” Miller heckled the activists and said they would compel the administration to ramp up their efforts. Is Trump's use of National Guard troops simply a temporary demonstration of power, or should Americans be concerned that militarized cities will become the norm?In a room full of merchandise near the Oval Office, shelves are lined with “Trump 2028” hats. President Trump gifted some of them to world leaders. The possibility of running for a third term is something Trump has teased since the early days of his second term. Is he just trolling, or should Americans take it seriously?

Saving the Children is a top priority for President Trump as the story of how little the Biden/Harris administration did to protect unaccompanied kids from other countries crossing into America comes more sharply into focus. Major news about voter registrations as voters in all 30 states that keep records of it are showing a huge swing to the GOP - as in 4.5 MILLION!

As Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Washington continued on Wednesday, protesters booed Vice President JD Vance during a photo op with the guardsmen stationed in the city. People jeered Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as they visited Union Station, blocks from the U.S. Capitol which has seen it's police federalized in a fake claim of a crime wave.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited National Guard troops who were placed at Union Station in Washington, D.C. as part of the Trump Administration's efforts to reduce violent crime in the nation's capital. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller commented on protesters in opposition to the crime crackdown: "We're going to ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old." 4:25pm- During a Wednesday Zoom conversation, Texas Representative Nicole Collier was informed that she was needed on the Texas House floor to participate in a vote on redistricting. Collier fled the state earlier this month in an attempt to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting and halting a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people. In response to Collier's forced departure from the Zoom meeting, Sen. Cory Booker screamed: “freaking outrageous!” 4:30pm- In response to Hurricane Erin, Governor Phil Murphy said: "I don't want to be the Amityville mayor from Jaws, but the fact of the matter is, I think going in the ocean for the next number of days is something you got to avoid.” 4:45pm- Rep. Eric Swalwell posted a video of himself buying groceries. At least he's buying cheese now instead of cutting it on television! Matt plays his favorite audio: Swalwell's gassy appearance on MSNBC with Chris Matthews from 2019.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (08/20/2025): 3:05pm- California Governor Gavin Newsom is now mimicking President Donald Trump's social media style. For example, after Dana Perino critiqued his strategy to garner attention, Newsom's press office posted to X: “DANA ‘DING DONG' PERINO (NEVER HEARD OF HER UNTIL TODAY!) IS MELTING DOWN BECAUSE OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM! FOX HATES THAT I AM AMERICA'S MOST FAVORITE GOVERNOR (‘RATINGS KING') SAVING AMERICA—WHILE TRUMP CAN'T EVEN CONQUER THE ‘BIG' STAIRS ON AIR FORCE ONE ANYMORE!!! TRUMP HAS “LOST HIS STEP” AND FOX IS LOSING IT BECAUSE WHEN I TYPE, AMERICA NOW WINS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.” While outlets like Pod Save America and Politico praise the posts, are they going to help win Newsom any support in 2028? Unlikely. 3:30pm- Rich is taping at Fox News on Friday and is on vacation next week. And when he comes back, he'll be preempted for a Philadelphia Phillies broadcast—consequently, it is possible Rich will be able to break his own record for shortest radio show in 1210 WPHT history. His previous record was 13-minutes! 3:50pm- Manhattan Federal Judge Richard Berman has rejected the Justice Department's request to release grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein. 4:05pm- On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited National Guard troops who were placed at Union Station in Washington, D.C. as part of the Trump Administration's efforts to reduce violent crime in the nation's capital. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller commented on protesters in opposition to the crime crackdown: "We're going to ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old." 4:25pm- During a Wednesday Zoom conversation, Texas Representative Nicole Collier was informed that she was needed on the Texas House floor to participate in a vote on redistricting.

Eric Swalwell posted a video of himself buying groceries. At least he's buying cheese now instead of cutting it on television! Matt plays his favorite audio: Swalwell's gassy appearance on MSNBC with Chris Matthews from 2019. 5:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to break down some of the best (and worst) moments from corporate media and Democrats. PLUS, NewsBusters celebrates its 20th birthday with a compilation of the craziest clips from the last two decades! 5:30pm- While speaking with Miranda Devine, EPA Director Lee Zeldin revealed that since taking office he has unearthed examples of billions of dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act being sent to several NGOs with conflicting interests/ties to the Obama and Biden Administrations. 6:00pm- Judge Announces Wrong Verdict in Murder Case: A Fulton County jury acquitted Alton Oliver of murdering off-duty Deputy James Thomas, agreeing he acted out of fear after repeated late-night advances and confrontations. In court, however, Judge Henry M. Newkirk mistakenly read the verdict as “guilty” before being corrected that the official verdict form declared Oliver “not guilty” on all counts. 6:10pm- Rhode Island Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan (a Democrat appointee) was arrested after refusing to leave a restaurant. In the viral video, Flanagan—who appears to be intoxic ...

Storm Paglia and Matt Vespa discuss the latest news of the day! From Donald Trump bringing the world closer to peace, the chances he receives the Nobel Peace Prize, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller's glorious trip to Union Station, and the ever-expanding list of wins Trump is bringing, the guys have you covered!

Ralph devotes the entire program to challenging the “official” count of 60 thousand fatalities reported so far in the genocide Israel, aided and abetted by the United States, has perpetrated on the Palestinians in Gaza. First, Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who volunteered twice in Gaza hospitals, presents the various studies that revise estimates into the hundreds of thousands. Then weapons expert, Professor Theodore Postol, backs that up with his knowledge of the destructive power of the weapons being used and the photographic evidence of the rubble.Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma, general, and critical care surgeon. He has volunteered twice in Gaza since 2024 and three times in Ukraine since 2022. He has published on humanitarian surgical work in the New York Times, Politico, and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.I've made my point clear month after month that I believe the death toll is now well over 500,000. And it's important to have an accurate death toll to respect the Palestinian dead and to intensify diplomatic, political, and civic pressures from around the world (and particularly from the White House and Congress) to cease fire, to let the humanitarian trucks that are already at the border in (with food, medicine, water, hospital supplies), and to make sure that this conflict is resolved safely.Ralph NaderIt certainly seems that every single international expert on the topic does think that this is a genocidal attack, so I don't see any reason to disbelieve what they're saying. But that doesn't have to do with how many people are killed. So what I'm just trying to point out is that even if the numbers of people that we talk about here today are (like Ralph said) half a million, or whatever number of people have been killed, nobody disputes that huge numbers of mass killings have taken place. And it doesn't seem that anybody who knows what they're talking about disputes that it's genocidal at this point.Dr. Feroze SidhwaIt's been very widely understood by lots and lots of people, of a huge variety of political leanings, a huge variety of life experiences, of professions, et cetera, that this is the image that springs to mind when they go to the Gaza Strip—it's something like a gigantic concentration camp.Dr. Feroze SidhwaIf the U.S. or Israel cared at all about how many people (including, remember, this is a territory that is half children) —if we cared how many people, including children, we have starved to death, have shot dead, have blown up, et cetera, we could figure it out in two weeks and with 10 grand. The Israelis wouldn't even have to stop their assault. They could keep doing it. They could just agree to de-conflict this group of a few people. But they won't do it for obvious reasons. And I shouldn't say “they” —we won't do it for obvious reasons.Dr. Feroze SidhwaTheodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy Emeritus in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT.

It's just that simple. And even when you have large buildings collapse and you have people coming in to search for people, you typically only find a few people who happen to have been lucky enough to be trapped in a cavity that's near a surface area of the rubble heap. If you're deep in the rubble heap, your chances of surviving are near zero.Professor Theodore PostolNews 8/15/25* New Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index data shows Trump's new tariff regime has resulted in significant increases in tariff-sensitive staple consumer goods. Some startling price spikes include a 38.9% rise in the price of vegetables, 14.5% increase in the price of coffee and an 11.3% increase in the price of beef and veal. Beyond food, electricity is up 5.5%, rent and shelter is up 3.6%, and health insurance is up 4.4%. These increases are sure to be politically unpopular, as Trump campaigned on bringing down inflation and the price of groceries. The reporting of this data also raises questions about Trump's response, given his response to the recent negative BLS data reporting on new job creation.* Speaking of job creation data, while the U.S. only reported the creation of 73,000 new jobs in July, Mexico, under left-wing economic nationalist president and AMLO successor Claudia Scheinbaum, created over 1.26 million new jobs in the same month, according to Mexico News Daily. Furious about the jobs report, Trump forced out the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is now seeking to install right-wing economist EJ Antoni. According to the BBC, economists have said his “economic commentary [is] rife with basic mistakes.” Antoni, kowtowing to Trump, ​​has proposed ending the monthly jobs report. Antoni would need to be confirmed by Senate Republicans, who have expressed some trepidation about his appointment, but whether that will be enough for them to stand up to Trump on this appointment seems unlikely.* In more domestic economic news, Jacobin reports corporations are experimenting with a new method of worker exploitation – so-called “stay-or-pay” contracts. According to this article, millions of employees – from nurses to pilots to fast food workers – are, often unwittingly, being “inserted into…restrictive labor covenants [which] turn employer-sponsored job training and education programs into conditional loans that must be paid back — sometimes at a premium — if employees leave before a set date.” These contracts, known as Training Repayment Agreement Provisions, or their acronym TRAPs, have become a major new battleground between corporate interests and groups fighting for labor rights, including unions and regulators. However, with Trump administration efforts to rollback even the modest labor protections promulgated under the Biden administration, the possibility of any federal intervention on behalf of workers seems remote.* In more Trump-related news, the occupation of Washington, D.C. has commenced. Trump has deployed federal agents, including officers with the Department of Homeland Security and Drug Enforcement Administration, as well as National Guard troops, to patrol the streets of the capital. Some of these deployments seem to be mostly for media spectacle; feds have been seen patrolling tourist areas like the National Mall, Union Station and Georgetown, but others have been going into District neighborhoods and harassing District residents for smoking on their own property. Moreover, while Trump has said "Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people," the Justice Department has in fact announced that this year violent crime in Washington has hit a 30-year low, per NPR. Trump is restricted to a 30 day takeover of the District by law, but is seeking to extend this window through Congress.* As usual, even as Trump claims to be cracking down on crime, his administration treats corporate crime with kid gloves. Despite major news of corporate misconduct this week – including the reopening of a Boar's Head facility shut down earlier this year due to a listeria outbreak despite ongoing sanitation issues and an explosion at the Clairton Coke Works in Pittsburgh that left at least two dead and ten injured – a new Public Citizen report shows the extent of the administration's soft-on-corporate-crime approach. According to this report, “the Trump administration has already withdrawn or halted enforcement actions against 165 corporations of all types – and one in four of the corporations benefiting from halted or dropped enforcement is from the technology sector, which has spent $1.2 billion on political influence during and since the 2024 elections.”* Turning to Gaza, the Financial Times reports, “Israel has killed…prominent Al Jazeera correspondent [Anas Al-Sharif] in Gaza and four of his colleagues…in an air strike targeting them in a media tent.” This report notes the Israeli military “took credit” for the strike after “months of threats and unproven allegations that [the journalist] was the head of a Hamas cell.” The Committee to Protect Journalists called these claims an attempt to “manufacture consent for his killing.” The network called this move a “desperate attempt to silence voices in anticipation of the occupation of Gaza.” Anas Al-Sharif was a prominent journalist in the Arab world and was part of a Reuters photo team who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2024. Israel has already killed six Al Jazeera reporters in Gaza prior to this strike.* Meanwhile, in Egypt, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi last Tuesday issued his harshest criticism of Israel thus far, accusing the nation of prosecuting “a war for starvation, genocide, and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.” Yet, according to Drop Site News, Sisi's comments came just days before an announcement that an Israeli company will begin supplying Egypt with vast amounts of gas. This $35 billion deal between Egypt, neighbor to Israel and Palestine and the largest Arab nation, and Israeli energy company NewMed is the largest export agreement in Israel's history. This deal adds a new dimension to other comments Sisi made in those same remarks, wherein he defended Egypt against criticism for “not opening the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing to allow in aid.” It remains to be seen whether the genocide comments represent a new chapter of Egypt-Israel relations, or whether they are just a smokescreen to cover Egypt and Israel's increasing economic interdependence.* In Palestine news from the homefront, Semafor reports the Democratic National Committee will consider two dueling resolutions on Gaza at their meeting this month. According to Dave Weigel, one, introduced by DNC Chair Ken Martin would “[urge] a ceasefire and a return of hostages held by Hamas,” along with a reaffirmation of the increasingly far-fetched two-state solution. The other, introduced by a DNC member on the progressive flank of the party, calls for “suspension of military aid to Israel” and recognition of a Palestinian state. The latter resolution has drawn the ire of Democratic Majority for Israel, a political organization that aims to keep the Democratic Party firmly in the pro-Israel camp. DMFI's president, Brian Romick, is quoted saying that resolution would be a “gift to Republicans” and would “embolden Israel's adversaries.”* In more positive foreign affairs news, Jeremy Corbyn's new party in the United Kingdom appears to be gaining steam. A string of polls indicate the party could win the seats currently held by several high-profile Labour Party MPs, including Health Secretary Wes Streeting and now-resigned Homelessness Secretary Rushanara Ali. Most shockingly, it seems they could even win Holborn and St. Pancras, the seat currently held by Labour Party Prime Minister Keir Starmer. If this Corbynite wave does ultimately crest, it would be a stunning reversal of fortune after the Starmerite Labour Party expelled the former Labour leader in 2023.* Finally, AOL announced this week that they will end their Dial-up internet service in September, Ars Technica reports. AOL launched their Dial-up service in 1991, helping to usher in the era of widespread internet adoption. While this may seem like a natural step in terms of technological advancement, US Census data from 2022 shows that approximately 175,000 American households still connect to the Internet through dial-up services. As this article notes, “These users typically live in rural areas where broadband infrastructure doesn't exist or remains prohibitively expensive to install.” In effect, this move could leave these rural communities completely without internet, a problem compounded by the Trump administration's decision earlier this year to “abandon key elements of a $42.45bn Biden-era plan to connect rural communities to high-speed internet,” per the Guardian. It should be considered a national disgrace if both the private sector and the government leave these rural communities behind.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
