As news of Trump sneaking off Air Force One continues to make headlines, people are questioning the decision to leave unsuspecting journalists and White House staff members on a plane that had a credible enough threat to remove the President from it.  Air Force One essentially became a decoy aircraft to hide Trump’s actual ride, a nearby military jet.  Reaction online has been swift and harsh, many calling the President a coward, shameful and weak for hiding in a catering truck while Americans were potentially put in harms way. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Miss North Carolina USA Brittany Boltinhouse has not publicly acknowledged nor apologized for resurfaced social media posts showing her repeatedly using the n-word over the course of several years. Now, her newly acquired attorney took to social media to announce an investigation and pending litigation against Miss USA and you will hear his entire statement. In it, he claims they have “recorded evidence” that the Miss USA organization had no justifiable reason to remove the title from their client, and insists Boltinhouse lost her crown because of her religious and political beliefs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are just learning about a secret operation that took place in front of the world: President Trump boarded Air Force One in Turkey last month, but immediately sneaked out the side entrance and onto a catering truck. That truck promptly whisked him away to a military jet, leaving the press corps and members of his staff thinking they were flying back with the President, unaware he was on an entirely different plane. This was all arranged amid Iranian threats to the President’s life, and given Turkey’s proximity to Iran, it was deemed the safest way back. We wonder how those journalists feel now that they know they were used as decoys.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a jaw dropping cross examination that lasted for most the day on Tuesday. Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney revealed the main psychiatrist treating Lindsay Clancy had only been practicing for one month while claiming to be an expert in postpartum issues. Dr. Jennifer Tufts had to admit that she completed most of her residency during COVID, and that she never once saw Clancy in person until that very day in the courtroom; all of their sessions were via zoom. The defense scored major points tearing apart Dr. Tufts assessment and treatment of Clancy, at one point saying Tufts’ choice of prescription drugs “pushed her over the edge.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been exactly one week since 29-year-old mom of 4, Tasia Fortune, was found hanging from a tree in the back of an abandoned home in Jackson, Mississippi. The medical examiner’s office is conducting an autopsy, but as of this recording, police have not said whether they suspect foul play or suicide. Of note, a Jackson City Council member has asked the U.S. Attorney’s office for help investigating, as Fortune’s family is demanding answers and justice. Over the past decade in Mississippi, there have been 3 other tree hanging deaths of black men, all of them ruled suicides over the objections of their families.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The trial of former gang leader, 63-year-old Duane Keith Davis begins today, three decades after the 1996 shooting death of rap icon Tupac Shakur. Davis isn’t accused of being the triggerman that night on the Vegas strip, but he’s accused of supplying the gun and orchestrating the killing. Davis has pleaded not guilty to first degree murder, but it was Davis’ own 2019 memoir and his public comments afterwards which detailed his role in the killing that landed him behind bars and on trial for his life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we continue to follow the testimony in the “Killer Mom Trial” in Massachusetts,  it’s hard to understand how posts on TikTok alleging a wild conspiracy theory are getting so much traction.  Tiktokers are claiming Lindsay Clancy’s husband, Patrick, is the person responsible for the strangling deaths of his three young children and that HE pushed her out of the window, rather than her jumping out of the window to end her own life.  With the defense clearly acknowledging that Lindsay murdered her children, saying she’s not guilty by reason of insanity, we discuss HOW so many people could come to this bizarre conclusion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As week 3 of testimony continues in the Lindsay Clancy trial, fireworks erupted in the courtroom on Friday.  The defense attorney for the mom who says she killed  her three young children because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, accused the prosecution of saying “shut her up” about Clancy’s sobbing as autopsy photos were shown to jurors.   The judge ultimately put out a warning to the courtroom about any inappropriate comments, as two psychiatrists who treated Clancy dominated much of the testimony.  Both doctors testified that Clancy showed no signs of psychosis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The family of Perez Hilton has updated fans on his condition, saying he’s in serious, but stable condition and will require surgery in the coming days. Hilton’s family acknowledged he is hospitalized under the Baker Act, which allows someone to be committed to a mental health treatment center for up to 72 hours. The family is also asking the media to leave the family’s home, to stop following and taking pictures of Hilton’s children and to give the family space and privacy. The irony was not lost on many celebrities who suffered from Hilton’s vicious posts, but one in particular, Ireland Baldwin, led the way in grace and kindness in her powerful response. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The internet has gone wild with speculation after Usher’s concert Saturday night at Met Life Stadium.  Videos and photos are circulating showing what some fans are saying is a clone, or a look a like, on stage instead of Usher,  singing “Love In This Club”. We aren’t sure where we stand after carefully looking at the clips, but some fans are demanding their money back, saying they didn’t pay good money to see a stand in sing an Usher song. Meantime, Usher has responded by commenting on one of the posts, saying “Ya’ll are funny.  Clone? You can’t clone this.” Hmmmmm…. He didn’t exactly deny it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We continue our Sunday series, offering some inspiration, perspective and guidance from spiritual and religious leaders around the world. Today, we have a fascinating and thought-provoking conversation with the Reverend Dr. David Breeden, the Senior Minister of the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis and a longtime humanist minister, author and professor. Dr. Breeden explains what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist and a humanist, and how people can find morality, purpose, hope and community without believing in God or an afterlife. He also opens up about his journey from being raised Pentecostal to becoming a humanist, why he believes humans can solve the problems humans have created, and what he thinks happens to us after we die.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had a blast going over the latest dating trend making the rounds on social media: eventationships.  It’s described as an agreement between two singles who commit to being each other’s plus ones, especially around wedding season.

This is a fascinating conversation spawned from a Yahoo article this week that details the small, and sometimes invisible signs your relationship is done. Having lived through breakups and divorces, these seven signs were eye opening and validating. The first and most notable sign: the arguing stops. Experts say the last year of a relationship is often the calmest one on record. We go over the other signs, like who is the first person you tell good news to? Does he show affection when he walks past you, or is there just an obligatory kiss goodbye each morning?   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is she for real? Former Miss North Carolina Brittany Boltinhouse gave a 12 minute interview to The Carolina Journal where she never once acknowledged, let alone apologized, for several years’ worth of social media posts where she uses the n-word.  In fact, Boltinhouse, who is Latina, went so far as to say she believes she was stripped from her title because of her political stance (she supports Trump) and her Mormon faith. We have some thoughts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A true crime story right out of a horror movie: a 15-year-old dressed in a clown suit, charged with first degree murder for randomly stabbing a 78-year-old man to death in East St. Louis, Illinois.  Just hours earlier, several ring cameras captured the teen dressed as a clown going door to door with a large knife, saying “I’ve been looking for you” and “I have a gift for you.” Prosecutors plan to charge the teen as an adult, as the victim’s family remembers a man who was a wonderful brother, a navy vet and bus driver, who was in the area to visit his sister.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The woman who spent 4 years in an Italian prison before her murder conviction was overturned, is now about to star in a one woman comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Amanda Knox describes “Cartwheel” as a show about “juggling motherhood and finally getting around to being furious about the whole wrongful-imprisonment thing.”  Friends and family of murder victim and former roommate of Knox, Meredith Kercher, say the comedy show trivializes violence against women and mocks the horrific events surrounding Kercher’s murder. They are asking for it to be canceled, but Knox has a pointed response to her detractors. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is a growing number of lawmakers asking Ohio Republican Congressman Max Miller to drop his re-election campaign amid multiple domestic violence accusations. Add to that, a series of disturbing texts and exchanges over a blue bunny Miller allegedly held hostage from his daughter, along with Miller’s former father-in-law telling reporters he’s sent his wife, daughter and granddaughter to a secure location “until such time as they feel safe.” Republicans have until August 10th to replace Miller on the ticket, but Miller is vowing to stay in the race, denying all of the mounting allegations against him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution called a total of 10 witnesses to the stand on Thursday, but the day began with an emotional gut punch as the state medical examiner went over the autopsy of 8 month old Callan.  Jurors had to view the autopsy photo which prompted tears and tissues among the jury and audible sobbing from Lindsay Clancy. The prosecution then had a series of witnesses take the stand from the family pediatrician, daycare workers, and friends of the couple testify that Lindsay was tired, but a good and loving mom. Lindsay’s ex father-in-law and grandfather to the children testified that the Clancy’s were an “all American family” and he never was concerned that Lindsay could harm herself or the kids.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Florida officials are investigating whether there are other victims out there, after they charged a local pastor with dozens of charges they say he confessed to committing. 42-year-old Timothy Chaneyfield was the pastor of a local baptist church and also worked in the Polk County School system with access to kids for more than a decade.  Chaneyfield is HIV positive and has been accused of infecting at least one man and exposing a 14-year-old boy after multiple sexual encounters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been exactly one year since 33-year-old fashion designer Martha Nolan was found dead on a yacht in Montauk and there is still no official cause of death and no formal persons of interest named.  Nolan’s family believes they know who is responsible for her death, and are planing to file a lawsuit with the details of their independent autopsy on Nolan’s body and the independent investigation into the man who was with her at the time of her death. Nolan’s family is filing a $50 million dollar civil lawsuit against Christopher Durnan, who was seen running naked on the docks throwing items at other boats to get help. There are a number of unanswered questions about that night: why was he naked, why didn’t he call 9-1-1 and why is there an extended period of time between when he claims Martha went limp and when he tried to get help.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a shortened day of testimony, but it was a powerful day in court. The prosecution called five witnesses to the stand, including several more medical and scientific experts, one of whom evoked a fiery exchange between Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney and prosecutors. The star witness of the day was the Clancy family’s former nanny who was with Lindsay and her children in the months leading up to the murders. Elaine Rossi testified that she was aware Lindsay was struggling with postpartum, but was deeply involved in caring for her children and was a wonderful mom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A shocking and disturbing video is still making the rounds on X as of this recording, showing the murder of 25-year-old César Gastélum while he was live-streaming a comedic sketch in Mexico. The murder was a brazen attack, with two men casually pulling up on a motorcycle next to Gastelum and his friends, in front of a KFC just blocks away from the prosecutor’s office at 8 pm in the evening. As Mexican authorities hunt down his killers, it’s just the latest in a series of similar deaths, with at least 12 other influencers murdered in the same area over the past year and a half.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s office responded to a disturbing scene on Tuesday after receiving multiple calls from concerned fans who were watching a bloody livestream involving celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. It appeared Hilton was cutting himself live, on his TikTok feed, and was covered in blood, as people watching were begging him to stop. The video has been taken down, but is still circulating online, as Hilton recovers in the hospital. While his reps have said publicly they haven’t been able to reach him, there are so many questions as to how and why things took such a violent turn. Sadly, self harm videos have been plaguing social media sites in recent years, and are considered by mental health professionals as a potential gateway to more serious outcomes, including death.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Republican congressman Chuck Edwards looks like he’s one and done, after serving his first term in Congress, Edwards announced he is dropping his bid for reelection after an ethics investigation. The findings of the house ethics reports show that Edwards “engaged in persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct towards two young female staffers.” While the 65-year-old husband, father and grandfather dropped his bid, another republican congressman, Max Miller has vowed to continue his re-election campaign after multiple women have come forward with domestic violence allegations.   Miller even asking the ethics committee to open a full investigation into his conduct to try and clear his name. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution had more doctors, forensic experts and state troopers take the stand on Day 6 of testimony in the triple murder trial of 35-year-old Massachusetts mom, Lindsay Clancy. After agreeing to stipulate to certain facts in the hopes of speeding up the trial and avoiding dozens of witnesses, the defense got testy at one point, questioning why three toxicologists needed to testify about blood evidence after the agreement. The prosecution continued to try and prove Clancy faked her suicide attempt, while the defense was very effective in poking holes in that theory.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Never saw this story coming, but there are additional “clothing checks” happening at the Women’s Tour de France this week. After complaints that some women may be using extra padding in their sports bras for an aerodynamic advantage, race organizers confirmed the new inspections.

A breaking development out of the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial this morning: we heard directly from Lindsay Clancy who confirmed to the judge she was agreeing to much of the physical evidence the prosecution would be presenting in the case. It’s a highly unusual move in a murder case, but because Clancy already admits to strangling her three young children, this avoids unnecessary days of testimony proving chain of custody from witnesses who handled the blood samples and other DNA evidence linking Clancy to the killings. Bottom line, it’s not in dispute whether she killed her children, the question is, was she criminally responsible for the murders if she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are now learning about the country's first recorded deaths linked to the growing cyclospora outbreak. Both occurred in Michigan, and officials say both victims had significant underlying health conditions that were impacted by the parasite and dehydration.  Still, with confusing numbers that may be as high as 22 thousand, and Michigan alone reporting more than 11 thousand cases, there is growing concern about how to keep ourselves and our families safe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 2 of the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial began with a series of doctors who treated Clancy in the immediate aftermath of the murders who testified to her physical and mental state in the days and weeks that followed. The defense made some serious inroads, calling into question the amount of time one doctor actually spent with Lindsay and getting another to acknowledge that people can communicate and plan in the middle postpartum psychosis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Republican U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno from Ohio is calling out fellow Republican congressman, Max Miller, who used to be married to his daughter, for physically abusing and threatening her. Senator Moreno has been silent up until now, after his daughter accused Miller of throwing boiling water on her, saying Congressman Miller has made it impossible to keep the matter private because of his “increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior.” Miller is running for re-election in a tight race in Ohio and has vehemently denied his ex-wife’s accusations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things are getting heated and it will be fascinating to see how long or if U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro will keep her job after dropping charges against former Olympian David Hearn.  Pirro admitted in a public filing that “botched” work was to blame for the peeling lining in the Reflecting Pool, not vandals.  Trump’s reaction was swift and to the point, saying he “100% disagrees” with Pirro, acknowledging for the first time that there “may have been some contractor difficulty” but insisted the major damage was caused by vandalism. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 2 of the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial begins today after an emotional first week that ended with jurors taking a field trip to the crime scene, the home where Lindsay and Patrick Clancy were raising their three young children. Lindsay did not join the 18 jurors and lawyers who toured both the basement where Lindsay strangled her children and the yard where she jumped from her bedroom’s second story window. The jury returned to court and heard from 5 more witnesses who described the conditions of Lindsay and her children when they arrived at the hospital. The next hurdle for the prosecution, proving Clancy was sane at the time of the murders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had just gotten back from lunch, in the middle of an afternoon work session, when we received a surprise phone call from our front doorman: Police were in the lobby and wanted to come up and conduct a “welfare check.” T.J. and I had very different reactions, but both of them involved confusion and a healthy dose of fear.
