Lindsey Duncan built a half billion dollar wellness company, then a murder for hire plot nearly killed him. On @MatthewCoxITC he tells the full story. 8 moments that hit hard:
1. Billy Martin called Lindsey with a warning: "Your ex wife Cheryl has offered me $1 million in a form of a loan to take you out at $100,000 a year. Each year the loan will be forgiven and then a new loan will be implemented for ten years."
2. Investigators found written notes from the attackers: "Get them inside the gate. Make it as painful as possible. Kill both of them. Kill the dogs. Burn the house down."
3. After interrogation, Lindsey faced the worst task of his life: "The most difficult thing in my entire life was that night when they finished interrogating me, they said, you have to call your daughters, and they go, you have to tell them, and they can't be driving and they have to be with somebody else."
4. Sheriff Fisher put the odds in brutal perspective: "You and Molly would have had a better chance of going and buying one Ohio State Lottery ticket and winning the entire thing with one ticket than you would surviving the ambush that you survived."
5. Lindsey remembered the first warning: "I got a call one day. Your ex wife Cheryl has offered me $1 million to take you out."
6. Before the violence, he built Nature's Secret from scratch: "I grew nature's secret from zero to about when I took it public, it was about a half a billion dollar market cap. I was 29 running a public company on the Nasdaq stock market."
7. Then came a different kind of attack: "They sue us and me for $86 million. $86 million because that's how much a sister company that we had called Pure Health had sold Coffee bean of green coffee bean."
8. He described the betrayal of being attacked after trying to help: "I'm not gonna Myself Serve humanity, build something that's green and that doesn't pollute, that doesn't discharge, that doesn't cause any harm to anybody. Doesn't do anything, doesn't hurt anything. All it does is give and educate and help people. And now I'm being attacked."

Only 2 to 8% of UK homes have air conditioning. Nearly 90% of US homes do.
That gap is the spine of a new segment on The Matt Walsh Show. Walsh plays BBC clips calling American AC use an addiction, then counters with numbers: a Politico poll of 27,000 Europeans found 38% cannot afford to cool their homes, and UN figures put Europe at more than 175,000 of the world's 489,000 annual heat deaths.
The episode opens on a Wired article about people who left the US after Trump's election and now regret it. Walsh cites migration data: US migration rose 100% year over year in Q1 2025, and UK residency applications set a record.
One expat, Annie, found UK healthcare, salaries, and amenities worse than advertised. Expats now post on Reddit about work, costs, and whether it is okay to move back.
The pay gap he cites: a US nurse earns a median of $97,000. In France, about $40,000.
#MattWalsh
The part Walsh leaves hanging is what happens when the escape hatch points somewhere unexpected.
He closes the episode with an art director who fled right-wing American politics by moving to Poland. What he says about that move, and about whether people who left should be allowed back, is the sharpest turn in the hour.
The economics get specific too. French residential electricity costs 65% more than in low-cost US states like Texas. European factory approvals take 13 months against 80 days in the US. By household net adjusted disposable income, the typical American has roughly 50% more purchasing power than a Briton, which Walsh uses to argue the UK would rank last if it were a US state.
His final claim: firsthand exposure to European living standards would change millions of American minds.

"Neither I nor Trump, we're not eternal in these presidential seats. And so either way, Trump's presidency would have ended and Putin still wouldn't have been able to change his main goal, the occupation of Ukraine."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, on The Diary Of A CEO with @StevenBartlett.
Presidencies end. Occupations are built to outlast them. That is the entire argument in one sentence.
#Ukraine #Leadership
Zelenskyy separates a person from a policy here. He told @StevenBartlett that Russia's core aim was set before any single US administration took office and is designed to survive whoever comes next.
Ukraine's army grew from about 200,000 to 800,000 over the same stretch of war. What he says a ceasefire would and would not require of Ukraine is the part that reframes the whole conversation.

Tucker Carlson says the median first-time homebuyer in the US is now 40 years old. Americans under 40 hold 6.5% of all household wealth.
On The Tucker Carlson Show, @tuckercarlson opens with footage of riots in central Paris and argues they are a generational economic revolt, not a single-issue protest.
His numbers: 30% of France's education budget funds retired teacher pensions. France banned counting by race in 1978, when annual admissions ran 11,000. Carlson says that figure now runs in the hundreds of thousands, drawn from more than 20 French-speaking sub-Saharan African countries.
He reads demographic tables for Brussels, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna and Stockholm. 95% to 98% European in 1955. Between 21% and 65% today. Then New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, above 85% white in 1955, around 30% now. He says no city over 1 million remains majority white.
His sharpest claim: French internal security services are ruthlessly efficient and chose to let Paris burn. He points to the 1985 Rainbow Warrior sinking and the detention of Telegram founder Pavel Durov as proof of what that state can do when it decides to.
Guest Jason Killmeyer, former ICE Chief of Staff, joins to walk through the H-1B program: more than 700,000 workers, concentrated at the lowest wage levels, paid $10,000 to $19,000 less than American peers.
#TuckerCarlson #Immigration
Killmeyer's answer on enforcement is where the episode turns.
He says worksite raids alone fail because migrants keep state and nonprofit benefits. DHS plus the expanded 287(g) program runs under 1,000 arrests per day. He says that math cannot produce removals in the millions.
His proposal: a Civilian Conservation Corps style mobilization of 250,000 Americans, with buses, aircraft and commercial data outreach.
He also lists what the administration already did to the H-1B pipeline. Microsoft and Adobe suspended from PERM. Project Firewall. A $100,000 H-1B fee that cut Cognizant filings by 100%. A reweighted lottery that favors higher wage levels.
Then he names the fight he expects after the midterms: a pro-American working class coalition against a business push for amnesty.
What he says about sanctuary defiance and NGO funded obstruction in Minneapolis is the part that reframes the entire argument.

Comfortably Smug on The Megyn Kelly Show: the DNA collection tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar required "Bin Laden, CIA level attempts." The Ruthless co-host said it straight to @megynkelly, then the panel zeroed in on one document. A DHS certification of absence of record for Omar's father's 2000 naturalization. If that certification stands, they argue, derivative citizenship fails and Article One bars her from the seat. The 2021 Miranda Devine report claimed a 99.9999999 percent sibling match. Omar denies the marriage fraud allegation. #MegynKellyShow
The panel's demand is the part most coverage skips. They say expulsion follows if fraud is proven, and they extend the same citizenship logic to Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed and New York's Chevalier. Their sharpest complaint: the FBI never ran its own DNA test, even as raids reached Omar's sister Sara. Kelly also played a super PAC ad where Amy Acton's own mother calls her a chronic liar, then read Bexley police reports from 2013 and 2019 involving drinking, prescription drugs and shattered glass. She says the Canfield Fair video shows no felony and no close contact. The Christina Applegate moment lands at the end of the hour, and it reframes a diagnosis she built a public identity around.

Britain is sending RAF Typhoons to Saudi Arabia to shoot down Houthi missiles. On Novara Live, @aaronbastani pointed at the number missing from the announcement: 377,000 dead in the Saudi-led war on Yemen, per the UN. 85,000 of those were children who starved to death.
The framing is the story. Bastani argued the escalation did not start with the Houthis. It started with July's coalition airstrikes on Sanaa airport. The Houthis now control most of Yemen's population, its farmland, and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, the chokepoint for shipping between Europe and Asia.
Co-host Banseka Kayembe added the taxpayer angle. British money defends Gulf tax exiles. Saudi Arabia spends $80 billion a year on defence and still cannot stop missiles hitting its own airports.
Bastani's warning: a Saudi state collapse would hit Europe harder than the 2008 financial crisis did.
#Yemen #NovaraLive
Same episode, different fight. Ashok Kumar of Greens for Palestine defended the Green Party's "Zionism is Racism" motion as a deliberate, year-long strategy borrowed from La France Insoumise. He cited YouGov polling that 75% of the British public recognizes a genocide in Gaza.
Kumar's case: principled maximalism shifts national discourse and wins voters. Bastani pressed him on whether the motion brands the Greens as the Palestine party and buries their economic platform. Bastani conceded it moves the dial but predicted a short-term electoral cost.
Then Kumar turned on the interviewer's own outlet, criticizing Novara Media for not acting as a bulwark against attacks on the Greens. What he said next, and how Bastani handled it, is the exchange worth hearing in full.
The show closes on Andy Burnham's new £100 fines for playing phones out loud on public transport, and why the enforcement gap is the whole story.

"So if you get animal style, what happens is that when they're cooking the meat, they put mustard on it and mustard fry it and then they put like the cheese and then the grilled onions on it."
Drina, former In-N-Out employee, calling into H3 After Dark #115.
The mustard goes on the patty before the cheese ever touches it. That single step is the entire burger. Ethan Klein and @HilaKleinH3 tried In-N-Out live on air for the first time, and Ethan's verdict was that it was "the most mid, boring nothing burger." The crew landed somewhere narrower: unbeatable after midnight with $7 in your pocket.
#H3Podcast
Most people order animal style without ever knowing the mustard hits the meat before the cheese does. Drina walked the H3 crew through the full sequence, plus the "yes culture" that shapes how the chain runs, and the one station cooks hate more than any other. That last part is the reason the grilled onions taste the way they do.

Johnny Hamcheck spent 5 years hiding his face. He filmed his biggest viral pranks while high on fentanyl-laced pills. Then he quit Suboxone in February 2025 and says it was harder than quitting fentanyl.
That reversal is the core of his conversation with @theovon on This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von (#691).
Hamcheck got clean in 2010. A surgery in 2023 put painkillers back in his body and pulled him into a relapse. The pranks that made him famous, the ones with millions of views, were shot during that stretch.
His worst demon was never the drugs. Gambling held on through 13 years of sobriety. He lost $7,000 in a single day at the Hard Rock. He owes the IRS over $100,000. He convinced himself poker was a sport because it airs on ESPN.
He traces the habit back to church fair dice games like Chuck a Luck, where he learned to scam before he learned much else.
Theo matched him on that front. He told Hamcheck he is about 77 days sober.
Hamcheck also explained the name. He invented "Hamcheck" on the spot while answering phones at the Salvation Army rehab center where he lived for 6 months.
At 50, he says he is burned out on street pranking.
#Recovery
Johnny Hamcheck says the hiding was the exhausting part. The pranking nearly killed him.
On This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, he listed what the videos cost. 20 gang members surrounded him in Columbus and nearly stabbed him. A road rage driver pointed a gun at him and he kept filming. Someone threatened his brother over a prank.
Then Pennsylvania. He was arrested while secretly pranking the cops during his sobriety test.
He admits the work can be exploitive. He says he reassures subjects off camera once the bit ends, and he is considering taking some videos down. What he does for those people, and which videos he wants gone, is the part that reframes the whole catalog.
The pressure did not leave when the drugs did. He calls it feeding the fish. Post a video and the internet wants more. Go quiet and they get angry. No viral hit and he says he gets withdrawal, he gets sick.
His words: "It's an addiction and you know that I have addictive tendencies and I hate the addiction to feeding the fans these videos."
At 50, he is done with street pranking. A movie and a documentary crew are on the horizon. His stated goals are health, family, and doing something positive with the platform.

Megyn Kelly and Preya Samsundar cover the Ilhan Omar brother mystery, a DNA dumpster dive, the coming indictments, Kimberly Guilfoyle claims, and the Victoria's Secret backlash. @megynkelly
7. Megyn Kelly: It does not matter what the Victoria's Secret models were wearing. It does not matter what Jane Doe was wearing if she were in fact sexually assaulted. It had nothing to do with that, Vanessa.
