Podcasts about The Wall Street Journal

Lawrence O'Donnell uses his prime time on MSNBC to float a wild theory that JD Vance is trying to use the Wall Street Journal's "reporting" about an Epstein birthday card to push Trump out of office. A FOIA request reveals Joe Biden's EPA and Norfolk Southern tampered with soil samples in East Palestine Ohio. CBS sacks Stephen Colbert citing money problems and the media go bonkers. Trump pulls the plug on California's high speed rail boondoggle.

The Wall Street Journal drops a front page story alleging Donald Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a 50th birthday card decades ago and drew a naked woman on it, a "bombshell" so preposterous, only MSNBC is seriously pushing it. Trump says he will sue the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch for printing the story despite his adamant denials that he wrote the "letter." Will the tall tale do the opposite the Deep State hopes and bring MAGA back to full-circle support for Trump? Generic polling doesn't look good for democrats.

Donald Trump is already backing away from an exposé in the Wall Street Journal detailing his bestie relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The WSJ report includes a birthday note Trump reportedly wrote for Epstein that includes a drawing of a naked lady and ominous words about them having so much in common and wishes for ongoing secrets. Trump says it's not his letter, but after slamming closed the Epstein investigation and releasing none of the promised files, that's a pretty tough claim to believe. CBS appears to still be running scared of Trump and his threats of lawsuits and FCC retaliation. The cancellation of Stephen Colbert‘s late night show, which was highly critical of Trump, seems like the latest capitulation to the President. It's a fail for the network of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather. We'll talk about all of it with journalist Anthony Davis. The political conversation continuous with This Week in Politics featuring Jim Avila and possibly Michael Shure, who might be outside the studio picketing instead due to lack of a Mark Thompson Show coffee mug.

Last night the Wall Street Journal published a hit piece on Trump involving... Jeffrey Epstein. The President says he'll sue because it's all contrived nonsense brought to you by conniving haters related to those who concocted the discredited Steele Dossier.

#SWAMPWATCH – Trump plans to sue the Wall Street Journal and has instructed Bondi to unseal materials related to Epstein. The murderer of an ‘American Idol' executive served six months in jail after attacking his family with a knife, but all charges were dropped. A Los Angeles woman faked a kidnapping for immigration purposes as part of a scheme to collect donations, according to federal charges. LIVE PRESS CONFERENCE: An explosion at the LA County Sheriff's Department facility has resulted in the deaths of three deputies.

In 2003, Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly compiled a leather-bound birthday album for Jeffrey Epstein, soliciting messages from his circle. The Wall Street Journal claims that one of those letters, signed “Donald,” includes a bawdy, hand-drawn sketch of a naked woman and a typewritten pseudodialogue between “Donald” and “Jeffrey.” It ends with a cheeky wish: “may every day be another wonderful secret.” The Journal also notes that the Department of Justice reviewed the letter during its Epstein investigation. However, the provenance of the document—how the Journal accessed it, whether any forensic or typographic analysis was performed—and the handling of DOJ sources remain murky. Before drawing firm conclusions, these gaps warrant further scrutiny.Trump and his allies vehemently dispute the letter's authenticity, labeling it a “fake” and threatening lawsuits. The White House has stated the Journal never produced the actual document for verification, and Vice President Vance dismissed the report as “complete and utter bullshit.” Critics argue this leaves the story in limbo—neither confirmed nor debunked. The timing is also notable, coinciding with Trump's push to release Epstein-era grand jury files. In the absence of physical evidence or corroborating testimony, the report raises intriguing questions about Trump's relationship with Epstein—but so far it remains circumstantial, not definitive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives into explosive new claims surrounding the alleged Epstein birthday letter attributed to Donald Trump and questions the timing and motives behind its sudden media appearance. Herold dissects the Wall Street Journal's reporting and Trump's fiery denial, including threats of legal action. He revisits how online influencers and government officials pushed narratives around the so-called “Epstein files” and explores the possibility of planted disinformation used as political weapons. Jon further unpacks developments around Judge Richard Berman, Pam Bondi's request to unseal grand jury materials, and the public's rising demand for transparency. The episode also takes a sharp turn into fresh revelations about the Obama administration's alleged manipulation of intelligence to create the Russian interference narrative post-2016, highlighting a newly released whistleblower timeline that directly implicates key players like Brennan, Clapper, and Comey. Additional updates include Trump's executive orders, crypto regulation bills, ICE detention logistics, and the reported cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. As always, Jon wraps with chat banter, viewer rants, and a nod to Alcatraz's reopening.

Join hosts Clay Edwards, Shaun Yurtkuran, and Lindsey Beckham for a lively Thirsty Thursday episode of "Uncensored," packed with candid banter, local insights, and hot-button debates. Kicking off with nostalgic chats about cheap beers and vodkas—debating if all vodkas taste the same, from Pinnacle to Grey Goose—the trio dives into spirits like gin (Tanqueray vs. Bombay) and the golden age of liquor packaging. They shout out local spots like RJ Singh's gas station for craft beers and discuss new ventures, including a massive pickleball entertainment complex in Flowood and the trendy Taste restaurant in Ridgeland. Clay plugs his FAFO merchandise at buyfafo.com and invites listeners to the Wildlife Extravaganza at the Clyde Muse Center, featuring celebs like Duck Dynasty's Buck Commander crew, Heather Smith from Naked and Afraid, and Andy Gibson, with gun giveaways and family fun. Shifting to news, they unpack breaking stories: a Wall Street Journal report on a Trump-Epstein birthday card sparking lawsuits and backlash; a salacious Hattiesburg senator scandal involving an affair, subpoenas, and ties to a former Miss Mississippi; and alienation of affection laws in Mississippi. The hosts react to Obama's recent podcast urging boys to have gay mentors for empathy, sparking discussions on masculinity, fatherless homes, and Democratic confusion over losing male voters. Delving deeper, they tackle Jackson's crime wave—debating gang influence (70% per estimates), rap culture's impact (from NBA YoungBoy to local sets), poverty as a choice vs. circumstance, and desensitization from video games and media. They contrast urban "fight or flight" life with white suburban extremes like cults, emphasizing accountability over excuses like systemic racism. Raw, unfiltered opinions on local politics, culture rot, and positive steps under Jackson's new mayor round out this engaging 2-hour chat.

Interview with Dr. Hank Sheinkopf, Prominent Democratic pollster and consultant, who was recently featured in a Wall Street Journal article titled, Can Anyone Stop Zohran Mamdani? Dr. Sheinkopf has worked on an estimated 700 political domestic and international political campaigns. June 24, 2025 will go down in history as the day that New York City, the Big Apple, experienced a political earthquake never seen before. A 33 year old Zohran Mamdani, with ZERO government experience, shook the City and beyond to its core, by winning the Democratic primary for New York City. A young man, whose ideology is the furthest to the left that we have ever witnessed. Not only is he a virulent antisemite in a City that has the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, but his platform goes against EVERYTHING New York is about; From promising rent control to opening government run grocery stores, to promising free buses, free childcare, strengthening New York City's status as a “sanctuary city,” and defunding the police. All of these issues and more, will be paid for, according to Mamdani, by raising taxes on billionaires, whom he said, shouldn't exist. He was the founder of the antisemitic group, Students for Justice in Palestine, while attending Bowdoin College, he has refused to denounce “globalize the intifada,” which is a call for violence against the Jews worldwide, supports the BDS movement to delegitimize the State of Israel, and even vowed, though he has no standing, to have Israel's PM arrested when he comes to New York. And lest anyone think that he is the typical leftist who is rebellious against his parents, his father is a professor at Columbia University, who believes that “suicide bombers” are a legitimate weapon of war, and that they are soldiers, not terrorists. Mamdani has also said he would appoint former disgraced, antisemitic Congressman, Jamaal Bowman as his Chancellor of Education. As of this Broadcast, there are 3 candidates challenging Mamdani to be the Mayor. Andrew Cuomo, the former disgraced Governor who was forced to resign over sexual harassment allegations, current Mayor Eric Adams who is running as an Independent, and Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa. The problem is, if 2 of them don't withdraw their candidacies, Mamdani is all but guaranteed victory this November. In the interview, Dr. Sheinkopf said, "Mamdani is not a Democrat, he is a Socialist who, with his millions, is "trying to hijack a bankrupt Democratic Party that now stands for nothing." According to Sheinkopf, the reason Mamdani was able to win the nomination during the primaries was thanks to a small group of people, who are generally young, who don't like those in power...but believe they are entitled to take over the world. "They are the most pampered generation in history!" "So in Mamdani, they found a candidate who never had a tough job, never worked very hard, born with 2 silver spoons in his mouth, whose parents' house was subsidized by the taxpayers because Columbia U. pays no taxes, and his father is a Professor there. Dr. Sheinkopf went on to say that "Jewish New York is finished...it's only a question of when the lights get turned out." When asked about the influence of Jewish elected officials who are supporting Mamdani, Sheinkopf said, "(Congressman) Nadler should be tossed out immediately....Should have been gone a long time ago!" Sheinkopf lamented the "stupidity" of some Jewish Democrats who think they will be accepted by a Mamdani Administration, because they don't understand that this isn't about Israel, it's about defeating the West, whose values are steeped in everything Judaism stands for.

Is it time to finally admit that not all customers are created equal—and that treating them as if they are might be costing your business more than you realize? In this episode, I dig deep with Dan McCarthy, Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Maryland and co-founder of Theta, to challenge one of the most hotly debated questions in customer experience: Should all customers be treated the same? Dan's expertise in customer lifetime value (CLV) exposes a stark reality—most companies are bleeding money on large swaths of their customer base and missing out on major growth opportunities by not prioritizing their highest value customers. The impact of understanding, modeling, and acting on CLV? Smarter resource allocation, optimized acquisition channels, and retention strategies that actually move the needle. Why should you listen to Dan? His work—frequently featured in The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Fortune, and The Economist—sits at the intersection of advanced academic research and bottom-line business outcomes. Having sold a business to Nike and now a partner at Theta, Dan brings a rare combination of rigorous analytics and practical execution, helping both corporate leaders and investors see their customers (and their value) more clearly. If you want your business to thrive—not just survive—in a customer-driven market, this episode is essential listening. Here are three burning questions Dan answers during our conversation: How do you accurately calculate customer lifetime value, and why do so many businesses get it wrong? What are the most common missteps that leaders make when trying to identify and serve high-value customers? How can customer data be used to shift business strategy, improve profitability, and even recalibrate entire corporate valuations?

Previously, Dan taught at Emory University's Goizueta Business School for seven years before moving to Maryland (my alma mater—Go Terps!).
