Camp Shane, one of America's longest-running weight-loss camps for kids, promised extraordinary
00:00:11.560
results. But there were some dark truths behind Camp Shane's facade of happy, transformed children.
00:00:18.300
Nothing about that camp was right. It was really actually like a horror movie.
00:00:23.220
Enter Camp Shame, an eight-part series examining the rise and fall of Camp Shane and the culture
00:00:28.760
that fueled its decades-long success. You can listen to all episodes of Camp Shame one week

Have you ever thought about going voiceover? I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of
00:00:52.420
male validation. I'm also the girl behind Boy Sober, the movement that exploded in 2024.
00:01:00.160
You might hear that term and think it's about celibacy, but to me, boy sober is about understanding
00:01:05.880
yourself outside of sex and relationships. It's flexible, it's customizable, and it's a personal
00:01:12.300
process. Singleness is not a waiting room. You are actually at the party right now.
00:01:17.600
Let me hear it. Listen to voiceover on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States. Recipients
00:01:31.840
have done the improbable, the unexpected, showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of
00:01:40.080
This medal is for the men who went down that day.
00:01:43.440
On Medal of Honor, stories of courage, you'll hear about these heroes and what their stories
00:01:48.800
tell us about the nature of bravery. Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple

A lot of times, big economic forces show up in our lives in small ways.
00:02:01.900
Four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up, so now
00:02:07.680
Small but important ways. From tech billionaires to the bond market to, yeah, banana pudding.

Why is a soap opera Western like Yellowstone so wildly successful?
00:02:31.680
The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network.
00:02:38.200
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come
00:02:43.500
to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

00:02:56.480
I want to say a few words about the events of the last few days. This past weekend, federal
00:03:01.980
agents conducted large-scale workplace raids in and around Los Angeles. Those raids continue
00:03:07.980
as I speak. California is no stranger to immigration enforcement, but instead of focusing on undocumented
00:03:14.320
immigrants with serious criminal records and people with final deportation orders, a strategy
00:03:19.920
both parties have long supported, this administration is pushing mass deportations.
00:03:25.640
Indiscriminately targeting hardworking immigrant families, regardless of their roots or risk.
00:03:32.720
What's happening right now is very different than anything we've seen before.
00:03:38.220
On Saturday morning, when federal agents jumped out of an unmarked van near a Home Depot parking
00:03:43.240
lot, they began grabbing people, a deliberate targeting of a heavily Latino suburb. A similar
00:03:49.560
scene played out when a clothing company was raided downtown. In other actions, a U.S.
00:03:55.200
citizen, nine months pregnant, was arrested, a four-year-old girl taken, families separated,
00:04:02.280
friends quite literally disappearing. In response, everyday Angelenos came out to exercise their
00:04:10.060
constitutional right to free speech and assembly, to protest their government's actions. In turn,
00:04:17.420
the state of California and the city and county of Los Angeles sent our police officers to help keep
00:04:23.280
the peace. And with some exceptions, they were successful. Like many states, California is no
00:04:29.800
stranger to this sort of unrest. We manage it regularly and with our own law enforcement. But this,
00:04:37.200
again, was different. What then ensued was the use of tear gas, flashbang grenades, rubber bullets,
00:04:45.360
federal agents detaining people and undermining their due process rights. Donald Trump, without consulting,
00:04:52.280
California law enforcement leaders, commandeered 2,000 of our state's National Guard members to deploy
00:05:00.160
on our streets, illegally and for no reason. This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president
00:05:06.640
inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers and even our National Guard at risk.
00:05:14.480
That's when the downward spiral began. He doubled down on his dangerous National Guard deployment
00:05:20.240
by fanning the flames even harder. And the president, he did it on purpose. As the news spread
00:05:27.500
throughout L.A., anxiety for family and friends ramped up. Protests started again. By night,
00:05:34.980
several dozen lawbreakers became violent and destructive. They vandalized property. They tried
00:05:40.820
to assault police officers. Many of you have seen the video clips of cars burning on cable news.
00:05:45.900
If you incite violence, I want to be clear about this. If you incite violence or destroy our
00:05:51.220
communities, you're going to be held to account. That kind of criminal behavior will not be tolerated.
00:05:56.220
Full stop. Already more than 220 people have been arrested and we're reviewing tapes to build additional
00:06:03.040
cases and people will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Again, thanks to our law enforcement
00:06:10.640
officers and the majority of Angelenos who protested peacefully, the situation was winding down and was
00:06:18.120
concentrated in just a few square blocks downtown. But that's not what Donald Trump wanted. He again
00:06:25.540
chose escalation. He chose more force. He chose theatrics over public safety. He federalized another
00:06:33.400
2,000 Guard members. He deployed more than 700 active U.S. Marines. These are the men and women
00:06:41.280
trained for foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement. We honor their service. We honor
00:06:47.560
their bravery. But we do not want our streets militarized by our own armed forces. Not in L.A.,
00:06:54.280
not in California, not anywhere. We're seeing unmarked cars, unmarked cars in school parking lots,
00:07:01.600
kids afraid of attending their own graduation. Trump is pulling a military dragnet all across
00:07:10.000
Los Angeles, well beyond his stated intent to just go after violent and serious criminals.
00:07:16.160
His agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers, and seamstresses. That's just weakness,
00:07:24.020
weakness masquerading as strength. Donald Trump's government isn't protecting our communities.
00:07:29.680
They're traumatizing our communities. And that seems to be the entire point. California will keep
00:07:36.400
fighting. It will keep fighting on behalf of our people, all of our people, including in the courts.
00:07:42.220
Just yesterday, we filed a legal challenge to Donald Trump's reckless deployment of American troops to
00:07:48.600
a major American city. Today, we sought an emergency court order to stop the use of the American military
00:07:55.360
to engage in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles. If some of us could be snatched off the
00:08:01.760
streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.
00:08:08.860
Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves.
00:08:14.080
But they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists, they thrive on division because it allows them to
00:08:20.540
take more power and exert even more control. And by the way, Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness
00:08:27.160
and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?
00:08:34.940
Ask everyone. Take time. Reflect on this perilous moment. A president who wants to be bound by no law
00:08:43.280
or constitution, perpetuating a unified assault on American traditions. This is a president who in
00:08:51.280
just over 140 days has fired government watchdogs that could hold him accountable, accountable for
00:08:57.740
corruption and fraud. He's declared a war, a war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge
00:09:04.740
itself. Databases quite literally are vanishing. He's delegitimizing news organizations and he's
00:09:11.640
assaulting the First Amendment and the threat of defunding them. At threat, he's dictating what
00:09:17.880
universities themselves can teach. He's targeting law firms and the judicial branch that are the
00:09:23.980
foundations of an orderly and civil society. He's calling for a sitting governor to be arrested
00:09:29.480
for no other reason than to, in his own words, for getting elected. And we all know this Saturday,
00:09:36.640
he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar
00:09:43.540
display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past.
00:09:50.400
Look, this isn't just about protests here in Los Angeles. When Donald Trump sought blanket authority
00:09:56.940
to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation.
00:10:01.860
This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not
00:10:09.020
end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This
00:10:17.160
moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball, a wrecking ball to our founding
00:10:23.520
father's historic project. Three co-equal branches of independent government. There are no longer any checks
00:10:30.580
and balances. Congress is nowhere to be found. Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that
00:10:36.940
responsibility. The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of Don. The founding
00:10:44.220
fathers, they didn't live and die to see this kind of moment. It's time for all of us to stand up.
00:10:50.400
Justice Brandeis, he said it best. In a democracy, the most important office, with all due respect,
00:10:56.220
Mr. President, is not the presidency, and it's certainly not governor. The most important office
00:11:01.400
is office of citizen. At this moment, at this moment, we all need to stand up and be held to
00:11:08.000
account a higher level of accountability. If you exercise your First Amendment rights, please,
00:11:14.200
please do it peacefully. I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear, but I want
00:11:21.380
you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is
00:11:28.440
your fealty, your silence to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him.
00:11:38.360
