Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Julie K. Brown joins Joanna Coles to unpack the latest twist in the Epstein saga—why Trump's former personal lawyer, Todd Blanch, now number two at the Justice Department, personally visited Ghislaine Maxwell in prison. What did she tell him, and who is on the rumored list of 100 names possibly connected to Jeffrey Epstein's sex crime activities? As Epstein's victims speak out in anger and fear, Brown reveals why Maxwell could now be in danger too—and why the Epstein cover-up still haunts the White House. Coles and Brown also dig into Florida's ex-AG Pam Bondi, the deleted Elon Musk tweet, and why Epstein may have believed he'd never done anything wrong. With new subpoenas looming and Congress demanding answers, the question remains: what's in the Epstein files—and who doesn't want them released?Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Julie K.

In today's episode, we cover Democrats Admit Trump's Tariffs Worked Even liberal voices like Bill Maher now acknowledge that Trump's tariffs didn't tank the economy, despite widespread predictions of disaster. Meanwhile, Europe is reeling from the new U.S.-EU trade deal, calling it a humiliation and bracing for economic pain. Democrats Hit Lowest Approval in 35 Years A new Wall Street Journal poll shows the Democratic Party at its lowest favorability since 1990. Senator Mark Kelly blames messaging, but Bryan highlights six stunning stories, from migrant crime to teacher union extremism, that point to deeply unpopular policies. Nuclear Warning to Putin President Trump authorizes the transfer of U.S. nuclear weapons to a base in the UK and gives Vladimir Putin a 10–12 day deadline to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. New tariffs, and possibly more, are on the table if Moscow fails to comply. Russia Restarts Flights to North Korea A direct air route opens between Moscow and Pyongyang for the first time in 30 years. While publicized as tourism, analysts warn it may serve as a covert weapons pipeline, just as Trump escalates nuclear posturing in Europe. Zelensky Retreats on Anti-Corruption Rollback After global backlash and pressure from the White House, Ukraine's president backpedals on a controversial move to weaken anti-corruption agencies. Still, the episode deepens Western mistrust of Kyiv's leadership. China Bans Gender Humor in Stand-Up Chinese officials warn comedians not to joke about men and women, citing concerns over “gender antagonism.” Bryan unpacks why this crackdown is part of a broader pattern of civil rights suppression that the world needs to confront.

Send us a textIn episode 247 of “The Data Diva” Talks Privacy Podcast, Debbie Reynolds talks to  Michael Robbins, Social Entrepreneur and Civic Builder, and a visionary in building human-plus-digital learning ecosystems. We discuss his decades-long journey at the intersection of education, technology, and community, from grassroots innovation to White House policy. Michael shares a compelling vision for the future of AI in education, centered on empowering individuals to create and control their own AI narratives. He introduces his data model, called DOTES (Do, Observe, Tell, Explore, Show), which captures real-world learning experiences and enables the training of personalized AI agents grounded in data integrity and digital personhood.Our conversation explores the concept of implication models, AI systems that learn from and work for people, rather than exploiting their data. Michael draws parallels between decentralized data governance and the design of AI trusts, where individuals have full control over their digital identities and contributions. We also explore the limitations of current large language models and discuss new frameworks that could rebuild AI from the ground up, centering privacy, consent, and community.Together, we envision a future where youth and adults alike use AI not as a replacement for human intelligence but as a tool for self-expression, empowerment, and democratic participation. This episode is a masterclass in AI ethics, digital sovereignty, and the urgent need to shift from extractive technologies to human-first ecosystems. We hope for a future where data privacy is not just a legal checkbox, but a fundamental principle of technological design and societal infrastructure.Support the show

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy.Over July 4th weekend, the Department of Justice and FBI put out a memo essentially declaring "case closed" on the matter of Jeffrey Epstein, the well-connected sex criminal and pedophile who died (apparently) by suicide in federal custody in 2019. No more files. No more questions. He killed himself and that's that. This was quite the reversal from an administration stacked with figures — like FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino — who built their celebrity in MAGA circles by ginning up the Epstein conspiracy and demanding his case files be released. In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi had said the the Epstein client list was "sitting on her desk for review." Now the White House says no such list exists. And Trump wants everyone to stop talking about it.As all this unfolded, a number of listeners wanted the KYE take on the Epstein story—so here it is. We recount some of the most salient details of the case for the uninitiated, then offer our takes on what we think really is going on, and, perhaps more importantly, assess how this might affect Trump's second term: how serious the breach between Trump and the MAGA movement is, the possible consequences of administration officials spinning stories about Hillary's emails (still!) instead of doing their actual jobs, the ongoing attacks on the basic functions of the federal government, Trump's spectacular, open corruption, and, as we all pay attention to the crisis of the day, what sending tens of billions in new funding to ICE will mean for our country.Sources:Emily Davies, Perry Stein, Jeremy Roebuck and Kadia Goba, "Trump fumes as Epstein scandal dominates headlines, overshadows agenda," Washington Post, Jul 27, 2025.Khadeeja Safdar & Joe Palazzolo, "Jeffrey Epstein's Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album.

President Trump also just landed a major trade win with the EU that could reshape global commerce and inject billions into the U.S. economy. New EU Trade Deal Brings Cash and Concessions The European Union agrees to a sweeping deal with the U.S., 15% tariffs on European goods, zero tariffs on American exports, and massive European investments in American energy and manufacturing.

Israel pauses combat operations while launching aid drops, but the White House signals that Hamas's days may be numbered. Thailand-Cambodia Border Clash Could Spark U.S.-China Proxy Fight A century-old temple dispute ignites artillery fire, civilian evacuations, and a diplomatic scramble.

Jon Gaunt says that in just 20 minutes, Donald Trump destroyed Keir Starmer and handed the keys of Number 10 to Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Trump showed how securing the border and stopping illegal immigration won him the White House — and exposed Starmer's total weakness on the issue. Starmer squirmed, lied, and stumbled when challenged on illegal immigration, farmers' anger, crime in London under Sadiq Khan, and more. It was excruciating and hilarious in equal measure. Just a day after the Lionesses made us proud to be English again, our Prime Minister was humiliated in front of the world's press. Was this the longest political suicide note in British history? Can Starmer survive it?  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt  

Starmer to hold emergency Cabinet meeting as pressure mounts over Gaza "British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will convene an emergency Cabinet meeting this week to discuss the escalating crisis in Gaza amid genocidal Israeli siege, local media reports said. The meeting, which will take place despite Parliament's summer recess, comes as the government faces increasing pressure to recognise a Palestinian state. Starmer is also due to meet with US President Donald Trump in Scotland, where he is expected to urge the White House to adopt a firmer stance towards Israel." 1 in 3 Palestinians in Gaza hasn't eaten for days: UN "The UN's top humanitarian official has warned of an accelerating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Tom Fletcher, under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, said one in three people hasn't eaten ""for days"" and children are ""wasting away"" amid severe food aid shortages. He said that despite Israel's decision to support a one-week scale-up of aid, massive amounts of aid are needed to stave off famine." Syria to hold first post-Assad parliamentary election in September "Syria plans to hold its first parliamentary elections under the new leadership between September 15 and 20. The country's High Election Committee met with President Ahmad al Sharaa to brief him on key amendments to the temporary electoral law, following rounds of consultations with various sectors of Syrian society. Al Sharaa stressed the importance of conducting the elections across all Syrian provinces and rejected any notion of territorial division, which all Syrians oppose." Zelenskyy signals swift action on anti-graft agencies after EU's plea "European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to uphold independent anti-corruption bodies. ""Ukraine has already achieved a lot on its European path,"" von der Leyen said in a post on X, adding that ""it must build on these solid foundations and preserve independent anti-corruption bodies, which are cornerstones of Ukraine's rule of law"". The Ukrainian leader, meanwhile, signalled that supporting legislation could be adopted within days." US, EU strike trade deal following 'tough negotiations' "The US and the EU reached a trade deal, ending months-long uncertainty, President Donald Trump announced following a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland. The US president said he thinks the deal is going to be ""great"" for both parties, which sets the US rate at 15 percent on EU goods. For her part, the European Commission president also praised the deal, saying it is a ""huge deal""."

We review the latest trade deals alongside the latest Consumer Price Index report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics that says inflation increased slightly to 2.7%. Prior to this latest report, inflation had been on a downward trend.

I start today's episode with the announcement about Coach Prime, Deon Sanders. Then I discussed a back to the future buzz and I'm not talking about the movie.  I read a list schools who opted in and out of the House settlement and why they did so.  An executive order came from white house to save college sports. LOL! The order itself does nothing to aid colleges in their fight to run an effective department. A lot of time wasted on this and I share why that is.  Title Sponsor: minnesotapersonalinjury.com Sponsor: www.Linkzart.com www.jaybeesgloverepair.com   #EXECUTIVEORDER, #WHITEHOUSE, #COLLEGESPORTS, #COACHPRIME, #DEONSANDERS, #HOUSECASE,

Send us a textThis is one of , if not, the saddest stories of all my time in politics. It is the story of Vince Foster, the longtime friend, and aid to President Bill Clinton. He had once shared back lawns with Bill Clinton in childhood. He had worked alongside Hillary Clinton at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas, and he had moved with them to the White House. Vince Foster found himself in the tumult, rough, and tumble world of politics in Washington D.C. on the national level. His first forays into it had not gone well, he was one of the people who was supposed to have vetted Zoe Baird for Attorney General, and he was involved to some extent in the situation that blew up in the White House Travel Office. In both cases, he was never found to have done anything wrong even by Republican Special Prosecutors who would later investigate the situations. But Foster took all of these situations to close to his heart. Though he would also be one of the people who found Janet Reno, who would serve successfully throughout the Clinton Administration, Foster never seemed to adjust to the wily ways of Washington D.C. Perhaps, he had other issues too. On July 20, 1993, Vince Foster rode out to Fort Marcy Park in Fairfax County Virginia, and shot himself in the head. He was found later that night while his lifelong friend, Bill Clinton, was on a live extended interview with CNN host Larry King. It was a sad story for which no words could capture. As a lifelong Republican, I will also say this, it was our party and conservative America's most shameful, or even worse most shameless hour. To this day the suicide death of this man has been exploited in attempts to go after Bill and Hillary Clinton. It has been done with no concern for the widow and small children this man left behind. There is nothing in this story nor in the rumors it spawned in which my party can be proud. It was a senseless tragedy. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, don't take it lightly, and we here at this podcast cannot urge you enough to reach out to someone and or reach out to the national Suicide hotline at 988, that is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Since Donald Trump's reelection, the Justice Department is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Once guided by norms of independence from the White House, the department now appears closely aligned with the president's personal agenda. NPR's Ayesha Rascoe and Justice Correspondent Ryan Lucas look at how Trump's new team—many of them his former personal attorneys—are reshaping the DOJ's mission, from the handling of specific prosecutions to sweeping changes in the Civil Rights Division. Critics call it the weaponization of justice; supporters say it's a long-overdue course correction.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to reveal the rising panic inside Trump's inner circle as the Epstein scandal metastasizes. With Ghislaine Maxwell serving 20 years in prison, Wolff outlines how a meeting between her and Trump's former lawyer—now the No. 2 at the DOJ—Todd Blanche, is raising serious questions about a possible deal. Wolff details Trump's decade-long friendship with Epstein, the infamous 50th birthday letter, and how they shared a girlfriend who moved between the two men. He describes a White House gripped by fear as “Epstein intelligence” emerges—emails, photos, and files that could expose just how “bad” Trump's “bad boy years” really were. MAGA world, Wolff warns, may not survive what Maxwell has to say. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From May 6, 2017: Three months into the Trump presidency, where does the relationship between the president and the intelligence community stand? Donald Trump is no longer quite so regularly combative in his tweets and public comments about the various intelligence agencies, but the White House-intelligence community relationship is still far from normal under this very unusual presidency. Here to ponder the question are former NSA and CIA director General Michael Hayden, former acting and deputy director of CIA John McLaughlin, and former deputy national security advisor for combating terrorism Juan Zarate, who spoke with the Washington Post's David Ignatius in a recent event at the Aspen Institute.

Today on the show, Russian President Vladimir Putin has just 37 days to meet Trump's deadline for a peace deal - but Moscow seems unphased as Russian forces continues to pummel Ukraine. Fareed talks to Alina Polyakova, the president of the Center for European Policy Analysis about prospects for peace.    Then, a violent power struggle is emerging in post-Assad Syria. Robert Worth, a contributing writer at The Atlantic, joins the show to discuss Israel's recent strike on Syria's defense ministry, and the growing rift between the US and Israel over Syria.    Next, this week the White House announced its plan to make America the world leader in artificial intelligence - largely by scaling back regulations. Fareed sits down with Microsoft cofounder and philanthropist Bill Gates to talk about how he sees the present and future of AI.   Finally, economist David Autor warns a second ‘China shock' is on the horizon -- and says it may be worse than the first.   GUESTS: Alina Polyakova (@apolyakova), Robert Worth (@robertfworth),  Bill Gates (@BillGates), David Autor (@davidautor) Learn more about your ad choices.

Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Martin Makary is getting lobbied by the MAHA movement to restrict food dyes and ultra-processed foods, as well as by the food, agriculture and pharmaceutical industries to reduce government oversight.  “We want to go bold and there are a lot of things to do,” Makary tells POLITICO's Dasha Burns. “But we also want to find common ground and work incrementally.” At the same time, he says, “The amount of pressure I feel from industry or other branches of government is zero.” Makary also discusses how the agency is addressing women's health and access to mifepristone, what he calls a “child vaping epidemic,” and explains the rationale behind FDA staffing cuts as well as some controversial hires.  Plus, White House reporter Jake Traylor joins Burns to discuss the mood inside the White House amid the fallout over the Jeffrey Epstein story, why President Trump is “itching” to get back on the campaign trail ahead of the 2026 midterms and whether GOP candidates in swing districts will welcome him.

This week on Face the Nation, amid a summer of distractions, President Trump seeks ways to divert attention back to his economic agenda. Leaving behind the Epstein files controversy, the president headed to Scotland for a weekend of golf, ahead of trade talks with two key European leaders as his tariff deadline looms. Before he left, he took his fight with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell straight to the Federal Reserve facility itself, where he demanded answers about rising construction costs. But are the accusations of mismanagement, or reluctance to cut interest rates, the real motive behind the president's crusade? We check in with White House budget chief Russell Vought, who was with the president during his trip to the Fed. Plus, we ask whether he's eyeing another round of spending cuts. And get the Democratic response from Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen. Then, Mr. Trump's war against higher education escalates as he asserts authority and influence by threatening to cut millions of dollars in funding. We'll hear from the president of the Ohio State University Ted Carter about its impact. Finally, Israel announces it will allow more foreign aid into Gaza, where the hunger crisis has reached catastrophic levels, when will it stop? We talk with the foreign minister of France, Jean-Noël Barrot, about international pressure to end the conflict.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 07/26/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS For millions of Victims of Racism/non-white people who spent any portion of the 80's, 90's, or 2000's parked in front of a television screen, chances are high that you watched a few minutes of the Suspected Race Soldier known as Hulk Hogan. The entertainment behemoth spent a solid half century in front of television cameras, sometimes flagrantly engaged in or suspected of practicing White Supremacy/Racism. He even linked up with long time crony Pres. Donald J. Trump at the 2024 Republican National Convention to help him burst back into the White House for term two. And, the same television watchers will surely remember the handsome and talented works of the late Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Beloved for his role as "Theo" on The Cosby Show, Warner reportedly died this week in a swim accident while on family vacation in Costa Rica. Warner's tragic death reminded many C.O.W.S. listeners of the years of deliberate Racism that's left generations of black people unable to swim. We also share a word on President Trump trafficking AI-generated fake videos of former President Obama being arrested and Ms. Sheena Scarbrough's visit to the Wisconsin state capitol to advocate for her daughter Sade Robinson and a state task force for missing and murdered black females. #SoberWouldBeBest #INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS

39: "A Tragic Car Accident, Elon Gets DOGEd, Casino Royale, & A Call for National ServiceWelcome to episode thirty-nine of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) A reckless driver with 786 traffic violations tragically killed a mother and her two daughters in Brooklyn in a car accident. The driver's mental health issues and driving record were never addressed by NYC officials, which once again has resulted in death. NYC zealously prosecutes law-abiding citizens who violate the newly enacted composting rules while letting dangerous people loose on the streets, which is further testament to their incompetence. 2) Elon Musk has become a highly unpopular and polarizing figure, and despite spending $21 million in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race, the far-left candidate won substantially in a state Trump originally won. Republicans in Congress and internal White House staff have grown to loathe him and the damage he is doing to the federal government. Finally, Trump has announced he will soon be going back to his businesses, which are heavily financed by the Chinese Communist Party. We don't wish him well.3) Casino developers in NYC have to go through a legal leviathan to obtain licenses, so they propose generous community service initiatives to impress the New York bureaucrats. Regardless, allowing legalized gambling in our communities is a further reflection of New York's decline under the failed Democrat leadership.4) In light of the crisis America's youth is facing and the spiritual decline that pervades throughout our nation, we discuss the merits of a national service program as a means to re-engage our youth. Unfortunately, we don't expect the current president to take on this initiative, as he is too busy allowing a Nazi-saluting billionaire to run rampant in our government.Connect with David & Stu:Email David & Stu at davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.Check out the website: https://www.rageworksnetwork.com/show/david-stu-unhinged/The views expressed on air during David & Stu...

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. Six months into President Trump's second term, lingering questions about his relationship with the sex trafficker are consuming his White House and paralyzing Congress. Join guest moderator Franklin Foer of The Atlantic, Peter Baker of The New York Times, Eugene Daniels of MSNBC, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker and Jonathan Karl of ABC News to discuss this and more.

The disturbing implications? For years, America was led by a cognitively impaired president, while his scandal-plagued son acted as a key adviser behind the scenes. On this week's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson asks the question: Who was really running the White House during Biden's term?   “ He just said […]

Congress recently passed — at the White House's request — a rescission package that cancels $9 billion in spending Congress had previously approved. We discuss whether Congress has forfeited its power to decide how the government spends its money, and what that means for voters across the country.This episode: political correspondent Sarah McCammon, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith.This podcast was produced by Bria Suggs and edited by Rachel Baye.

The case was reportedly brought before the United Nations' highest court by small island countries, seeking to force international standards onto larger governments. When Axios reached out to the White House Monday regarding potential penalties the United States could face, the response was direct. “As always, President Trump and the entire Administration is committed to putting America first and prioritizing the interests of everyday Americans,” Spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement. Spot on. We cannot be sucked into global affairs — and follow edicts from other countries — as we rebuild our own domestic infrastructure. Hence, Trump's move to withdraw America from the Paris Climate Accords — something he'd already done in his first term, but had to do again after former President Joe Biden reversed it. “[The ICJ case] specifically calls out the responsibility of industrialized nations to take the lead in limiting emissions,” Axios reported. Are we supposed to believe that countries like China and Russia are going to have their feet held to the fire on pollution? The target seems to be the United States. Why? Because we have far-left lawmakers willing to throw trillions of dollars at an issue that hasn't even been fully settled. First, it was “global warming” because the polar caps were melting, setting up an ice age. Then the argument shifted to temperatures getting hotter, and the phrase was switched to climate change. Every time a doomsday event was predicted, it got pushed off. “The Day After Tomorrow” never came. That's red flag number one. Red flag number two is the potential money-laundering aspect. After laundering tactics were exposed inside the USAID by Elon Musk's DOGE team, what's to stop climate change funding from being used as a personal piggy bank? During the Obama years, the firm Solyndra had the federal government cosign a loan for over $500 million in solar technology before it went under, Forbes reported. The same Forbes piece highlighted how several similar firms were given hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds, yet they all failed. Where did the money go?

On Wednesday, President Trump signed three A.I.-related executive orders, and the White House released “America's A.I. Action Plan.” We break down what's in them, how the federal government intends to target “political bias” in chatbot output, and whether anyone will stand up against it. Then, do we hype up A.I. too much? Are we downplaying potential harms?
