Pratap Chatterjee, executive director of CorpWatch, joins us to discuss their latest report, MAGA Inc., which identifies the Crypto Czars, the Tech Titans and the Prison Profiteers who have bankrolled and benefited the most from Donald Trump's corrupt regime. Then, Ralph welcomes Elliot Negin, executive editor of Money Trail to talk about how Donald Trump is trying to turn Washington DC into a monument to himself.Pratap Chatterjee is an investigative journalist, producer and executive director of CorpWatch, an organization that works to promote environmental, social and human rights by holding multinational corporations accountable for their actions. He is the author of several books, including Verax: The True History of Whistleblowers, Drone Warfare, and Mass Surveillance, Halliburton's Army, and Iraq Inc.: A Profitable Occupation.Palantir is really critical to understanding how the surveillance state works, especially in identifying people to deport and locations and people to kill in Trump's new wars overseas, such as in Iran…Palantir's data analytical capabilities are actually extremely simplistic and terrible. But when it comes to looking for an easy solution, that's what Palantir offers. And they've been able to offer this to the Trump administration—to have them speed up their political plans such as deportation, such as waging war against Iran by giving them easy answers.Pratap ChatterjeeThe biggest company behind the cryptocurrency used by criminals and drug dealers and gun traffickers has come out of the shadows, into the light, thanks specifically to the credibility offered by the Trump administration. And so this is really a sea change.Pratap ChatterjeeElliott Negin, executive editor of the Substack newsletter Money Trail, is an award-winning writer, illustrator and publication designer. Prior to co-founding Money Trail in February 2025, he was the managing editor of American Journalism Review, editor and art director of Public Citizen and Nuclear Times magazines, a news editor at NPR, and a regular contributor to HuffPost and the Union of Concerned Scientists' Equation. His freelance articles have appeared in The Atlantic, Common Dreams, The Hill, L.A. Progressive, The Nation, Scientific American, the Washington Post and other publications.It turns out that there is a government-owned ballroom less than a mile from the White House that would serve the purposes of a state dinner, which is one of the only events that you would need a ballroom for. If Trump builds a ballroom, it will not be used probably 360 days out of the year… To have a building that big that's going to be sitting empty for all that time makes no sense whatsoever.Elliott NeginRight now, the cost of this ballroom has been escalating… And half of it's supposed to be covered by taxpayers. Give credit to Public Citizen. It did a report that found out that more than half the donors that were identified as donating to the project when it was pegged at $400 million (including Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Palantir) have gained contracts with the federal government worth more than $50 billion in the last six months. That's a hell of a return on investment.Elliott NeginNews 7/3/26* Our top stories this week are the Colorado primaries. First, DSA-backed insurgent Melat Kiros successfully ousted 29-year incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Diana DeGette in the state's first congressional district, winning in a surprise blowout of over 13 points. Kiros, a 29-year old Tigrayan-American lawyer and PhD student, was fired from Sidley Austin – a “biglaw” firm in 2023, after she “posted an open letter defending students protesting Israel's war in Gaza from charges of antisemitism,” per Colorado Newsline. Axios reports many House Democrats, speaking anonymously, have bemoaned DeGette's loss, with one accusing Kiros of trafficking in “performative politics,” but Usamah Andrabi, spokesperson for Justice Democrats, one of the main groups that backed Kiros, put it simply when he said “If DeGette didn't deserve a primary, Denverites wouldn't have elected Melat” by double digits.* Also in Colorado, state Attorney General Phil Weiser easily defeated Senator Michael Bennet in the primary to succeed Jared Polis as Governor. While Weiser did run to Bennet's left, the real victory for progressives is that Bennet finishing out his own term means the Colorado Democratic establishment won't be able to appoint someone – likely a centrist member of the House – to replace him, per Axios. Meanwhile, John Hickenlooper, a Colorado Democratic institution won his primary as well, fending off a challenge from his left by state Senator Julie Gonzales. However, Gonzales came within 6 points of Hickenlooper, according to Colorado Public Radio, a tantalizingly close margin. Moreover, not only has Hickenlooper vowed that this would be his final Senate term, many are speculating that Bennet himself won't run when his term ends in 2028. That is all to say, it is possible we have not seen the last of Ms. Gonzales.* Speaking of Gonzales, much has been made of the fact that she “softly” distanced herself from DSA as she launched her primary campaign, per Colorado Pols. Perhaps maintaining that organizational relationship would not have resulted in her victory, but the stunning successes of DSA-backed candidates – including Melat Kiros in Colorado – speaks to the group's impressive organizational muscle. In fact, the group can boast of winning yet another seat in the New York State Assembly, with Maurice “Mo” Brown declaring victory against longtime incumbent Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli in the 129th Assembly District. Magnarelli held the seat for 30 years. Brown won by just over 100 votes after all the absentee and affidavit votes were tallied, according to Syracuse.com. With Brown's victory, DSA will send 16 members to Albany next session, nearly doubling its presence across both chambers of the state legislature.* More impressive than the electoral victories however is the fact that DSA members in office are delivering on their campaign promises. Most notably, in New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has successfully forced a vote through the Rent Guidelines Board to enact a rent freeze for the Big Apple's 1 million rent-stabilized apartments, Time reports. These units make up a whopping 27% of the city's housing stock and house around 2 million people. Mamdani's predecessor, the corporate-friendly Democrat Eric Adams, pushed through rent hikes via the guidelines board, raising the rent by 12.6% over the course of his term in office. Mamdani called this the “relief that working people across our city deserve.” This move has, predictably, drawn the ire of landlords and their industry representatives, but there is no denying that the people of New York City voted for Mamdani in large part for this exact policy and he delivered.* In Congress, another socialist – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – is fighting for key amendments to the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act. These run the gamut from prohibiting the transfer of weapons to countries hampering the delivery of humanitarian aid, such as Israel, to demanding that the Secretary of Defense conduct declassification reviews or release unclassified reports on American assistance to the dictatorship in Brazil and the coup in Chile, barring Pentagon funds from being used to enforce sanctions on Cuba, and many more. As the scope of national legislation has narrowed in recent decades, amendments to massive flagship funding bills like the NDAA have become a primary means of getting legislation through the gridlock. It is very encouraging to see AOC take advantage of this mechanism to force votes on these issues.* Of course, the centrists will not simply cede power to the left without a fight. Yahoo reports 13 Democratic House members and candidates have signed onto what they are calling the “Promise to America,” consisting mainly of vague commitments to principles like “Growth, Competition, and Broad Prosperity,” or “Safety, Security, and Human Dignity.” They have also stepped up their rhetoric, saying “there's going to be a war” between themselves and the new crop of progressive and DSA lawmakers, per Fox News. Of course, this all makes one wonder whether the Democrats would be in this position at all if they were this confrontational with the Republicans instead of their own voter base.* Another emerging theater of combat between the center and the left is the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The CHC is led by the lame duck New York Congressman Adriano Espaillat, who was defeated in his primary by Darializa Avila Chevalier. Both Espaillat and Avila Chevalier – or DAC as she has come to be known – are Dominican, despite Espaillat's last-minute smear campaign calling her Haitian, and she plans to join the CHC once she takes her seat in the House. Yet, POLITICO reports the CHC is divided about admitting DAC. While no member is going so far as to say outright that she should not be admitted, many, such as CHC Whip Sylvia Garcia of Texas, are saying things like if DAC is “aligned with all our priorities and all our legislative programs, we would welcome her.” Of course this raises the question of if she is not, would they still welcome her. The all-Democratic CHC has previously barred the entry of Republican Hispanic Congressman Carlos Curbelo of Florida and the Congressional Black Caucus barred Espaillat himself from joining after a feud between him and former Congressman Charles Rangel. In addition to DAC's accession, the CHC will also have to decide on a new leader with Espaillat gone. The Vice-Chair, Darren Soto of Florida, may lose reelection due to redistricting in Florida, leaving the seat up for grabs.* In more Florida-related news, on June 25th Florida Governor Ron DeSantis formally announced the closure of “Alligator Alcatraz” the immigrant detention facility much hyped in the early days of the second Trump administration. While DeSantis claims that the facility had simply “fulfilled the role it was designed to serve,” there is an alternate story being told in the native community. Native News Online has published a statement by Judith LeBlanc (Caddo), executive director of Native Organizers Alliance, which highlights that the facility was constructed and operated “in violation of the sovereign rights of the Miccosukee Tribe, who took the government to court for illegally constructing the center without their consultation or consent,” and hailed the closure as “a victory for human rights and Tribal Sovereignty.” The statement further decried “The administration's violent crackdown on migrant communities” as “an affront to all we stand for as Native peoples.”* Turning further south, the Guardian is out with a chilling story concerning the death of Monika Silva Koniuszek, a Polish anti-corruption activist, who was supposedly investigating self-dealing within the ruling Noboa family of Ecuador. According to her colleagues, Silva Koniuszek was investigating “Noboa Trading, the fruit conglomerate belonging to the family of the rightwing president, Daniel Noboa.” Specifically, they said she had been pursuing allegations that “several tonnes of cocaine had been seized in Noboa Trading banana containers,” and that “high-ranking Ecuadorian judicial officials were stalling the investigations.” Additionally, “Shortly before she was killed, she told friends that she had delivered a dossier of allegations to the US embassy in Quito.” Koniuszek was found dead with a noose around her neck, and Ecuador's interior minister announced that she had died by suicide even before the autopsy results were released. Once those results came out, they contradicted this claim, finding that her cause of death was “a blow to the head and strangulation.”* Finally, in neighboring Colombia, leftist candidate Ivan Cepeda, who lost the recent presidential election, has called on the people of that country to engage in mass civil disobedience, according to Jorge Bastidas, a Colombian Congressman and member of Cepeda's party. Specifically, Cepeda is demanding that the Colombian people not recognize the presidency of Abelardo de la Espriella unless and until he meets certain demands, including renouncing his U.S. nationality, disproving claims that he is a CIA collaborator, and vowing not to persecute and extradite his political opponents including outgoing President Gustavo Petro. Cepeda has stressed that this mass action, if pursued, will be peaceful.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

As Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors continue to dominate the NBA offseason, the guys explore an intriguing alternative: could the Heat make a move for Jaylen Brown instead? With Brown coming off an outstanding season in which he often served as Boston's No. 1 option, the conversation centers on whether he might actually be a better fit for Miami than Giannis. The guys compare the strengths of both stars, discuss what each would bring to the Heat, and debate whether Brown's age, versatility, and long-term outlook could make him a more realistic target than the two-time MVP.

Hour 4 opens with World Cup talk as excitement builds for tonight's first World Cup match in Miami, bringing global soccer energy to South Florida. The conversation also touches on the Panthers and expectations for next season, with the belief that once fully healthy they'll be right back in the mix as a serious contender. The guys then dive into NBA offseason chatter surrounding Jaylen Brown and the Celtics, questioning why Boston would even consider breaking up their core despite Brown and Jayson Tatum both thriving at an elite level. With Brown hinting at wanting a bigger spotlight and recent comments being interpreted in different ways, the discussion explores whether the two stars can truly coexist long-term or if a split is inevitable. From there, the hour shifts into lighter topics, including the booming popularity of Pokémon card collecting and flipping, and whether Jaylen Brown is actually more valuable than Giannis in today's NBA landscape. The hour wraps with Anthony Chiang joining to break down the latest Heat–Giannis rumors, Tyler Herro trade buzz, and Miami's potential backup plans if a blockbuster move doesn't materialize, including cap flexibility strategy and roster-building questions moving forward.

With Brown's missionary insights from Italy peppering the conversation, listeners can expect an episode rich in theological depth and pastoral compassion.The dialogue delves into the new Reformation catechism on human sexuality, particularly focusing on part four - restoration. The nuanced narrative explores themes such as confession, repentance, mortification of sin, and the transformative power of Christ's obedience. As they unravel the complexities of sin and the grace of redemption, Brown emphasizes the essence of identity in Christ as a pivotal anchor for Christians. The summary encapsulates not only the theological foundation but also the necessity for community and church support, offering a comprehensive guide for anyone grappling with sexual sin while seeking to walk in purity and newness of life.Key Takeaways:Sexual sin, while grave, is a battle like any other sin and doesn't define a Christian's identity, which is securely found in Christ.Confession, repentance, and a godly sorrow that leads back to the Gospel are crucial steps for those struggling with any form of sexual sin.Sanctification is a lifelong process where the Holy Spirit gradually makes believers more like Christ through means such as the word, sacraments, and Christian fellowship.Understanding personal identity in Christ is liberating and pivotal for the Christian life, influencing family, marriage, and community engagements.The church is characterized as a hospital for sinners, where believers must support, not shun, each other in struggles with sin, including sexual immorality.Notable Quotes:"The person who comes in, into the church who is homosexual…we cannot look at that person and say, ooh, gay lesbo…We have to have a posture of humility and compassion towards one another…""Our growth in sanctification really leads us to believe the Gospel more…as one Puritan put it, the pathway to holiness is paved with a good sense of our own wretchedness.""Everyone has a battle against sin, whether we're talking about lust…or we're talking about anger…everyone has a battle to fight because we're not glorified yet."Resources:No specific resources or URLs were mentioned in the transcript.Engage with this enriching conversation fully by listening to the episode and gain clarity and encouragement on your spiritual journey.

The latest episode of "48 Minutes" begins with Bruce Bernstein's analysis of Jaylen Brown's new contract with the Boston Celtics followed by a discussion with Ross Geiger and Michael "World B" Freer on the preseason prognosis for the new look C's. Ross then asks Bruce & World B three questions he's dying to know the answers to. Each panelist will count down their top 5 teams heading into the season, share their 5 favorite all-time players by position, and conclude with a game of "What They Said/What They Meant." We'll even examine the new ESPN/ABC broadcast team of Mike Breen, Doris Burke, and Doc Rivers. ======== 0:00 ... Hello and Welcome ... Ross dedicates show #59 to Rajon Tucker. 1:05 ... Bet OnLine Live commercial read 1:42 ... Opening Comments: Bruce on Jaylen Brown's new Supermax contract with the Celtics and why the franchise did it. 3:47 ... World B defends Kawhi Leonard who was named to a list that nobody would choose to make. 5:28 ... Ross on Thanasis Antetokounmpo's new contract with the Bucks and why it is money well spent. 7:21 ... With Brown's new riches, the addition of Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick White's increased role, the guys discuss whether the Celtics will be better or worse than they were last year. 11:30 ... The Milwaukee Bucks had the best regular season record last season, but lost in the first round of the playoffs.  Can they improve under rookie coach Adrian Griffin? 15:14 ... Ross asks Bruce and World B if they feel either LeBron James or Anthony Davis are capable of winning another MVP Award. 16:59 ... Our panelists count down their top 5 power teams heading into the season ... there is plenty of disagreement but lots of good analysis.  And definitely some surprising choices. 30:26 ... Just for fun, everyone shares their all time favorite starting fives by position ... Some of the choices will make you scratch your head while others may make you think. 44:11 ... When World B brought up the name of Jerry West, Bruce told the story of seeing the new movie Oppenheimer over the weekend and noting that the aggressive prosecutor in the movie was played by the same actor that portrayed West in the HBO series "Winning Time" about the Showtime Lakers of the 1980s. 45:04 ... Since many are getting tired of "Political Correctness,"  we play a game called "What They Said/What They Meant" where we cut through the BS and translate some of the PC terms that describe certain players. 47:47 ... World B's final thought is on the Orlando Magic and his hope that the upcoming season will bring increased success for this young and talented crew. 49:21 ... Bruce's final thought is on the new ESPN/ABC #1 Broadcast team of Mike Breen, Doris Burke, and Doc Rivers.  Mark Jackson is the odd man out and while he was a successful coach before joining ESPN, his coaching future is sketchy due to possibly being blackballed and we hope he can find a way to remain a vital member of the basketball family. 51:59 ... Ross' final thought is on Philly coach Nick Nurse and his stated objective of turning Paul Reed into the next Pascal Siakam. 52:45 ... Bye and see you all next week TRT 53:02  

In the third hour, Mike Mulligan and David Haugh discussed former Chiefs offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. landing with the Bengals on a four-year deal worth up to $64 million. With Brown off the board, how will the Bears address their need at tackle? Could they draft one at No. 9 overall?

Three people were seriously injured in an early morning crash on Whitlock Avenue in Marietta Monday.  The crash happened around 6 a.m. Monday morning when a car crossed over the centerline on Whitlock Avenue near Winn Street, according to Marietta Police Department spokesman Chuck McPhilamy. The vehicle collided head-on with another vehicle headed in the opposite direction. McPhilamy said the drivers of both vehicles were seriously injured in the crash, while a passenger in one of the cars was ejected from the vehicle and also seriously injured. The three injured people were taken to the hospital. There could soon be two Ojularis playing defense in the NFL. Two years after former Georgia linebacker Azeez Ojulari left Georgia to turn pro, his bother, BJ, an edge-rusher and outside linebacker and LSU, is about to follow him.  The former Marietta High School standout made it official Sunday when he made the announcement on social media. Ojulari is looking to follow in the footsteps of his brother, who was selected by the New York Giants in the second round of the 2021 draft with the 50th overall pick. Ojulari, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound junior, has had 58 tackles, 5½ sacks, 8½ tackles for loss and a forced fumble this season, earning All-Southeastern Conference first-team honors. Over his three-year career in Baton Rouge, he has had 129 tackles, 25 tackles for loss, 16½ sacks and 25 quarterback hurries.  LSU is scheduled to face Purdue in the Citrus Bowl on January 2. It has not been determined if Ojulari will play in the bowl game. Ojulari has been projected to be a late first-round or early second-round selection in April's draft. ESPN analyst Todd McShay has Ojulari ranked as the fifth-best outside linebacker on his draft board, behind Alabama's Will Anderson, Army's Andre Carter, Georgia Tech's Keion White and Georgia's Nolan Smith. Fellow ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has Ojulari ranked seventh. Sonja Natasha Brown was sworn in Thursday evening as the newest judge on the Cobb Superior Court bench. Brown, a Cobb magistrate judge and past president of the Georgia Association of Black Woman Attorneys, replaces retiring Judge Robert Flournoy III. She defeated James Luttrell in a runoff election this summer with 64% of the vote. As a Superior Court judge, Brown will be tasked with handling felony criminal cases, civil disputes, real estate matters and more. With Brown's accession to the bench, she becomes the third Black person to hold a Superior Court judgeship in Cobb, after Kellie Hill and Angela Brown were elected in 2020. Chief Magistrate Judge Brendan Murphy noted the Superior Court bench will also now, for the first time, be majority woman.   Despite cloudy skies at Piedmont Church's annual “Christmas at Piedmont,” children flocked to the petting zoo's goats and llamas and waited in a lengthy line for a snow slide with a tube. And, of course, there was the opportunity to share wish lists with Santa. Meanwhile, more than 20 elementary school choirs performed on two stages, and people shopped for the holidays at an arts and crafts market of local vendors during the free event off Piedmont Road. Marlon Longacre, one of Piedmont's pastors, estimated 13,000 to 15,000 people attended the two-day event. Last year's event raised $24,500 for local schools, according to Longacre. This year's main sponsor was Superior Plumbing. Longacre said the event provided an outlet for the music programs of schools in unincorporated northeast Cobb, comparing it to holiday events usually thrown by city governments, like Santa's arrival in Acworth. Piedmont Senior Pastor Ike Reighard, also CEO and president of the nonprofit MUST Ministries, said he hoped the event allowed parents with busy schedules to see their kids perform.   Wheeler suffered its first loss of the season in a battle of nationally ranked teams. Number 10 Columbus, from Florida, defeated the Number 7 Wildcats 73-70 on Saturday in the Battle of the Peach at Wheeler High School. Columbus was led by a combined 44 points by the Boozer brothers – Cameron and Cayden – the sons for former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer. Wheeler led 37-32 at the half, but Columbus rallied in the third quarter to take a 56-51 lead behind 14 points in the period by Cameron Boozer. Wheeler's Isaiah Collier, Jelani Hamilton and Arrinten Page combined for 57 of the Wildcats' points. Wheeler will travel to Florida to play Tampa Catholic in the City of Palms Classic on Friday.   At the Battery Atlanta there is an ongoing holiday double feature — Santa himself, behind the desk of one of his many remote offices, and a holiday market featuring minority-owned businesses. Sponsored by Truist, through Christmas Eve, “Santa's Post Office” will be open at 800 Battery Ave. People can visit and take pictures with Santa while delivering their wish lists to Santa and do some holiday shopping, complimentary gift wrapping included. Visiting with Santa is also free. Odette Shirley owns the self-care boutique Maison Jovence and said that on the first day of the holiday market, her business made about double what her pop-ups usually make. She sold out of many of her candles. Another business owner, Omar “Chilly-O” Mitchell, said he was happy to see the support for Black-owned businesses. His clothing company, Chilly-O Culture Co, has been a mainstay of the Atlanta street wear scene, according to Chilly-O's partner for this pop-up, who goes by the name Lurchero. Chilly-O and Lurchero said they go way back in the Atlanta art scene. Lurchero is the creator and owner of Only Positive Energy, a brand that curates and produces art exhibitions and events around Atlanta. Only Positive Energy partnered with Chilly-O Culture Co for the holiday market, jointly selling Chilly-O's clothes bearing the OPE brand. Santa, the ultimate holiday celebrity, was a major draw, according to parents at the market. Avery Kaczynski, a 6-year-old from Vinings, said she asked Santa if she was on the good list. She added that she hopes to get a coffee-making set to practice her barista skills. She wants to be a barista someday. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com                    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remember, Brown and DeAndre Hopkins have not yet played together. Also, this should be the week the Cardinals get their running game going. The Chargers have one of the worst run defenses in the league.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Alex unable to escape the Temple of Doom ("Indy I love you!"), Anthony tackles his second solo episode. This time focusing on Antonio Brown. Anthony wrote a piece on Antonio Brown back in March with the focus on his true motives for leaving Pittsburgh and being "happy" to be in Oakland. With Brown's antics following him to the West Coast and appearing in the form of helmet disputes and frostbite, Anthony steps back into the pool of Antonio Brown. The episode begins with a timeline of Brown, beginning in 2010 when he entered the league, and culminating in his eventful offseason of 2019 and preseason adventures. Anthony breaks down Antonio's true value, and delivers a message to the enigmatic and often problematic Wide Receiver.

Earlier this week news broke that Tar Heel head football coach Mack Brown had hired Phil Longo to be UNC’s new offensive coordinator. Longo joins the staff after being the OC at Ole Miss for the past two seasons, where his offense put up very strong numbers in the SEC. With Brown’s staff mostly complete, UNC fans have a multitude of questions about how UNC football may look going into the 2019 season from a schematic perspective, especially on how the air raid style of offense Longo brings will mesh with the 3-4 attacking style of defense defensive coordinator Jay Bateman employed at Army. Inside Carolina’s Buck Sanders and Jason Staples join host Jon Seiglie to attempt to answer those questions, and also to give their reactions to the hiring of Longo. Learn more about your ad choices.
