This episode features a deeply personal conversation with Len, a father describing the long and painful impact of drug addiction on his son and on the entire family. He explains how his son’s struggles began in adolescence after serious health problems and depression, then spiraled into years of substance abuse, relapse, homelessness, legal trouble, and unstable recovery. The discussion highlights how addiction does not affect only the person using drugs. It reshapes marriages, drains parents emotionally and financially, strains siblings, and forces families into impossible choices between helping, enabling, and stepping back.
The conversation also turns toward policy and solutions, focusing on the gaps that appear after detox and rehab. Len argues that families need better support, including affordable sober-living options, stronger coordination among hospitals, courts, and treatment systems, improved transportation and recovery resources, and more practical tools for people trying to stay clean. The result is both a family story and a broader look at the addiction crisis in America, especially the question many families face every day: how do you save someone you love when love alone is not enough?

In this episode, Vanilla Ice opens up about the unusual mix of talents and disciplines that shaped his career, from breakdancing and poetry to rap stardom, motocross, television, and high-end real estate. He explains how early hustle, self-discipline, and relentless work ethic helped him turn creative ambition into long-term success, first in music and later in property development. Rather than treating fame as the finish line, he describes it as one chapter in a much larger story about building, learning, and staying useful.
The conversation also digs into the business side of his reinvention. Vanilla Ice describes how Hurricane Andrew pushed him into home renovation, how he learned to spot undervalued properties, and how design, branding, and customer psychology helped him build a thriving real estate business and television presence. He also talks about performance, patriotism, family, and the energy behind his upcoming Washington event, framing the whole conversation around a bigger idea: lasting success comes from adapting, staying curious, and never losing the drive to create something new.

In this special bonus episode of Greta Wire, taken from Greta Van Susteren’s NEWSMAX show The Record, Greta is joined again by Dr. Jen Ashton for an important update on GLP-1 medications, the class of drugs commonly associated with weight loss treatments such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.
Greta opens with a new study from the Cleveland Clinic suggesting that GLP-1 drugs may be linked to reduced tumor growth in patients diagnosed with several obesity-related cancers, including breast, liver, kidney, pancreatic, colorectal, and non-small cell lung cancer. Dr. Ashton explains why the findings are generating excitement, while also stressing that the study was observational and that randomized controlled trials are still needed before drawing firm cause-and-effect conclusions.
The conversation expands beyond weight loss into the broader medical possibilities of GLP-1 medications, including potential effects on the immune system, inflammation, cancer progression, recurrence, prevention, and arthritis symptoms. Dr. Ashton also addresses a major real-world barrier: insurance coverage. While doctors can prescribe FDA-approved medications off-label in many circumstances, insurance companies may refuse to cover them unless they are prescribed for approved indications.
Greta and Dr. Ashton also discuss the financial logic behind prevention, asking whether insurers may eventually decide it is cheaper to cover these medications earlier rather than pay later for complications tied to obesity, cancer, heart disease, and other serious conditions.
This bonus episode serves as a timely update to Dr. Ashton’s previous Greta Wire appearance on GLP-1 medications and why their impact may extend far beyond simple weight loss.

This episode features a long-form interview with former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who argues that his prosecution was an early example of political lawfare and that his case foreshadowed what later happened to Donald Trump. Blagojevich walks through the Obama Senate-seat controversy, the FBI tapes, the trial, and the evidentiary fights that shaped his conviction, insisting that prosecutors took conversations out of context and blocked material that would have shown he was pursuing political deals for public policy goals rather than personal enrichment. The discussion also examines Patrick Fitzgerald, James Comey, prosecutorial power, judicial bias, and the broader question of whether the justice system has become a political weapon.
The interview also gets unusually personal, moving from the mechanics of his conviction to the emotional cost of prison, family separation, and public disgrace. Blagojevich describes life behind bars, including his prison band, the people he met inside, and the impact his sentence had on his wife and daughters. He also explains how Donald Trump’s commutation and later pardon reshaped his life and politics, leading him from Democrat to what he calls a “Trumpocrat.” The result is part legal argument, part prison memoir, and part political testimony about corruption, redemption, and survival.

This episode features a wide-ranging conversation with young biographer Solomon Schmidt about his new book on J.K. Rowling, tracing her rise from an impoverished single mother to one of the most successful authors in history. Schmidt explains how Rowling built the Harry Potter series from years of planning, personal grief, and creative discipline, and why her life story is compelling even beyond the books themselves. The discussion highlights Rowling’s difficult early years, including the death of her mother, domestic abuse in her first marriage, repeated publishing rejections, and the extraordinary path that turned Harry Potter into a global phenomenon.
The interview also focuses on the controversy that has reshaped Rowling’s public image in recent years. Schmidt describes how Rowling, once embraced by the political left, became one of its biggest targets after speaking out against transgender ideology, gender-transition policies, and threats to women’s spaces and women’s sports. He argues that her refusal to back down, combined with her immense cultural influence, made her a uniquely powerful lightning rod in the broader free speech and transgender rights debate. The result is both a literary biography and a portrait of how one of the world’s most famous writers became a central figure in one of today’s fiercest cultural battles.

This Shorty uses the NBA Finals as a jumping-off point to revisit one of the strangest live-TV moments in American history: June 17, 1994, when the Knicks and Rockets were playing in the Finals while O.J. Simpson’s white Bronco chase unfolded in real time. Greta focuses on the sheer absurdity of the moment, describing how NBC kept interrupting or splitting the screen between the game and the slow-speed police pursuit, leaving producers and viewers stuck between a championship broadcast and a possible national tragedy.
The piece is really about memory and cultural shock. Greta explains that for people old enough to remember it, the Bronco chase permanently fused itself to that NBA game, no matter who won or what happened on the court. She closes with a bit of macabre trivia, noting that the Bronco itself still exists and is now displayed in a Tennessee museum, turning one of the most surreal nights in televised sports and crime history into a literal exhibit.

In this short episode, Greta uses the anniversary of the deaths of Natalee Holloway and Stephany Flores to make a jarring point: the Aruba room once tied to Joran van der Sloot is now being rented out on Airbnb by his mother. She frames that detail not as a curiosity, but as a grotesque symbol of how the case still reverberates, tying together the murders of both young women and arguing that van der Sloot’s violence was never some isolated mystery but part of a much darker pattern.
Greta also turns the focus squarely onto van der Sloot’s mother, Anita, saying she long knew her son had serious anger issues and still refused to face what he was. She presents her own years of reporting on the case as a relentless pursuit of the truth, points to a recent WhatsApp message in which Anita allegedly calls her a “bitch journalist,” and uses that as proof that the family still resents anyone who forces the reality into public view. The result is less a travel warning than a sharp, personal indictment of denial, complicity, and the lingering ugliness surrounding the case.

In this episode, Greta sits down with Tito Ortiz for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with the upcoming UFC event at the White House and turns into a primer on the sport itself. Tito explains the difference between UFC as a promotion and mixed martial arts as the sport, argues that wrestling is the foundational skill for success, and walks through the mechanics of the cage, rounds, scoring, safety rules, and how MMA differs from boxing. He also makes the case that the sport is far more technical and strategic than outsiders assume, comparing it to a layered chess match rather than a simple brawl.
The conversation also becomes personal. Tito reflects on his own career, his title wins, his injuries and surgeries, his training discipline, and the way he thinks about recovery and longevity. He talks about meeting Donald Trump, supporting him politically, and why he sees the White House UFC event as a historic sign of how mainstream the sport has become. Greta frames the interview as a conversion of sorts: she begins as a skeptic about UFC, but Tito’s mix of detail, candor, and enthusiasm turns the episode into both a profile of a fighter and a persuasive defense of the sport’s complexity and cultural stature.

This Shorty is a teaser from Greta, who says she has finally obtained, through a FOIA request, the full documents and videotape from the FBI’s 2010 sting operation targeting alleged Natalee Holloway killer, Joran van der Sloot in Aruba. Greta argues the material shows van der Sloot committed extortion on camera in a setup that should have ended with his arrest, but instead he was allowed to walk away and leave Aruba. She frames that decision as catastrophic, because weeks later he went to Peru and murdered Stephany Flores.
Greta says the newly obtained records are even worse than expected, including handwritten notes stating “no arrest anticipated,” which she presents as proof the FBI never planned to take van der Sloot into custody despite catching him in the act. She positions the upcoming book chapter and Substack release as a major exposé, promising to publish the documents, emails, and video to show how the Bureau’s failure may have directly enabled a second killing.

This episode is a long-form conversation with Dr. Steven Hatfill about the FBI’s handling of the 2001 anthrax attacks and the years he spent under a cloud of suspicion. Greta frames the interview around a central question: how does the government fail to solve five murders, then aggressively target a man it never arrests, and eventually exonerate him years later without ever truly making things right? Hatfill describes being drawn into the case after taking a polygraph and initially believing the matter was over, only to find himself publicly treated as the prime suspect through leaks, media speculation, apartment searches, and a years-long reputational destruction campaign. He argues the FBI was rudderless, desperate to appear active, and willing to let his life be crushed rather than admit it had no real evidence.
The conversation widens into a broader indictment of institutional failure. Hatfill says the government never properly apologized, that the media eagerly amplified the accusations, and that the entire ordeal made him essentially unemployable for years even as he continued other specialized national security and medical training work. He also questions the official handling of the anthrax evidence itself, suggests the powder was sophisticated enough to imply state-level capability, and raises lingering doubts about whether the public ever got a real answer about where the anthrax originated. What emerges is not just Hatfill’s personal story, but a deeply skeptical portrait of the FBI, the press, and a political system that, in his view, preferred protecting itself over finding the truth.

In this raw, behind-the-scenes interview, Mike Gilbert — OJ Simpson’s longtime manager, agent, and one of his closest friends for decades — reveals explosive details about the 1994 murders and the Trial of the Century. Gilbert discloses that OJ privately confessed to him, stating, “If she wouldn’t have opened the door with a knife, she’d still be alive,” and explains how heavy doses of Prozac transformed OJ’s personality in the weeks before the killings. He discusses the suspicious golf bag (believed to contain the knife and bloody evidence), the defense’s glove demonstration strategy, Bob Kardashian secretly feeding information to author Lawrence Schiller, and OJ’s emotional breakdown in jail. Gilbert also shares the devastating personal cost of standing by OJ and why he believes the murders would never have happened without the medication. This is one of the most intimate insider accounts from someone who was with OJ from the Bronco chase through the acquittal and beyond.

This episode is a firsthand account from Belarus, where Greta joins Franklin Graham during his Festival of Hope in Minsk. The heart of the story is how extraordinary the event is: an evangelical preacher is allowed to come into Belarus, preach with the blessing of President Lukashenko, and fill a 10,000-seat arena with thousands more in overflow — all without formal advertising, relying only on word of mouth through hundreds of churches. Greta frames it as more than a religious event; it is also a rare thaw in a difficult and often hostile relationship between Belarus and the United States, made even more striking by Graham’s private meeting with Lukashenko and the decision to have the crowd pray for him.
The episode then pivots sharply from revival to crisis management. Between the first and second nights in Belarus, Graham learns of a new Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the conversation shifts to Samaritan’s Purse preparing an emergency response. Greta uses that moment to show the breadth of Graham’s work: one hour he is preaching the gospel before thousands, and the next he is coordinating planes, protective gear, water systems, and assessment teams for one of the world’s deadliest outbreaks. The result is both a portrait of an unusual diplomatic-religious breakthrough in Belarus and a look at the speed, scale, and seriousness of the humanitarian work Graham’s organization takes on around the world.

This episode tells the deeply personal story of Greta’s producer, Jessica Marquez, whose husband spent nearly five years on nightly dialysis while waiting for a kidney transplant. Jessica describes the exhausting reality of structuring family life around his treatment, raising a young child during that period, and living with the uncertainty of whether a transplant would ever come. When the long-awaited call finally arrives in September 2024, the relief is immediate but cautious, shaped by earlier false alarms and the fear that something could still go wrong.
The story then opens into something even more moving: the discovery of the donor’s identity and the eventual meeting between Jessica’s family and the family of the young man whose organs saved six lives. The donor, Ronald Schowski, was a 27-year-old Navy serviceman who died in a hit-and-run while visiting the United States from Japan. Jessica describes how emotional it was to meet his parents, siblings, and widow, and how the encounter became not just an expression of gratitude but the beginning of a lasting bond between two families linked by tragedy and generosity. The episode becomes a reflection on grief, resilience, organ donation, and the extraordinary way one life can continue through others.

This episode is a deeply personal conversation with Yvonne DeVries about the 2004 disappearance of her 14-year-old son, Max, in Aruba, a case Greta says never received the attention it deserved. Yvonne recounts traveling to Aruba with her children as a healing trip after the death of her husband, only to have the vacation turn tragic when Max vanished during a jet ski outing with an older American man they had met at the hotel. She describes how quickly her suspicions formed, how the stories given about what happened on the water kept changing, and how Aruban authorities, in her view, failed to investigate obvious red flags from the start.
The conversation expands into a broader indictment of how the case was handled over the years. Yvonne explains why she believes there was more than mere incompetence involved, pointing to contradictory statements, a troubling background connected to the man who was with Max, and a pattern of official indifference that left her searching for answers largely on her own. Greta frames the case as one that still feels unfinished and suspicious, especially given what she has learned over two decades of reporting on Aruba and other disappearance cases. The result is not just a retelling of Max’s disappearance, but a portrait of a mother still living with unanswered questions and still refusing to let her son’s story disappear.

This episode is a deeply personal and emotional conversation with Tim Miller, the founder of Texas EquuSearch, about the 1984 disappearance and murder of his daughter Laura. Greta introduces Miller not just as a grieving father, but as someone who turned his pain into a lifelong mission to help other families find missing loved ones. The interview retraces Laura’s case from the moment she vanished, through the indifference and failures of local law enforcement, to the agonizing 17 months before her remains were found. Miller explains how, from the very beginning, he believed the authorities ignored obvious leads, dismissed the case, and allowed the people responsible to remain free.
The heart of the episode is Miller’s account of what happened next over the following decades. He describes how he kept investigating on his own, gathered evidence, pressured officials, and never let go of the belief that he owed it to Laura to keep going. Eventually, a man connected to Laura’s death came forward and gave details that led to charges against another accomplice, even though the suspected primary killer died before facing full justice. Miller also reflects on how his daughter’s murder drove him to help countless other families, including in high-profile cases like Natalee Holloway. The conversation becomes less about one solved case than about endurance, grief, institutional failure, and a father’s refusal to quit, even after more than 40 years.

This Shorty is a deeply personal Mother’s Day reflection centered on Greta’s long relationship with Samaritan’s Purse, Franklin Graham, and the work they have done in some of the world’s hardest-hit places. Greta recounts traveling to Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake and later during the cholera crisis, where she saw firsthand the scale of suffering, displacement, and the number of children left with nowhere to go. Out of that devastation came what would become the Greta Home and Academy, a place created to give vulnerable Haitian children safety, education, structure, and a real future.
The heart of the episode is Greta’s emotional connection to the children there and the annual Mother’s Day video they send her. She reflects on how far the academy has come, from caring for children who once had almost nothing to helping them thrive in school, learn languages, compete in chess internationally, and even attend college in the United States. The episode is less a broad update than a heartfelt tribute to what sustained compassion can build over time, and to the joy Greta feels seeing those children grow into lives filled with dignity, opportunity, and love.

This episode is a warm, wide-ranging conversation with Brett Favre that blends football history with a much more personal look at his life now. He talks about being drafted by Atlanta, getting unexpectedly traded to Green Bay, and building a bond with Packers fans that turned him into one of the most beloved figures in Wisconsin sports. The conversation also revisits some of the defining milestones of his career, including his long ironman streak, the emotional game he played after his father died, and the way the NFL changed over time, especially in how quarterbacks are protected.
The second half of the episode turns to health, aging, and what life looks like after football. Favre speaks candidly about dealing with Parkinson’s, describing the stiffness, loss of dexterity, and different treatments he has been trying in hopes of slowing or easing the disease. What emerges is less a nostalgia piece than a portrait of a legendary athlete still confronting new challenges head-on, while reflecting with humor and honesty on the career, toughness, and community that made him such a lasting figure in the first place.

This episode is a short, affectionate remembrance of Ted Turner that doubles as a funny behind-the-scenes story from Greta’s CNN years. After learning of Turner’s death, Greta decides to share an old memory that captures both the strange energy of early CNN and Turner’s larger-than-life presence. She reflects on how beloved he was inside the network, how unconventional he could be, and how completely he changed television news by turning CNN into a 24-hour operation when many people mocked the idea.
The main story centers on a White House Correspondents’ Photographers Association dinner shortly after Turner married Jane Fonda. Greta and Wolf Blitzer both wind up in an awkward tug-of-war over the same chair after Jane privately tells each of them they must sit next to her because she “has to tell” them something. Greta wins the seat, spends the entire dinner feeling guilty, and then discovers afterward that Jane had told Wolf the exact same thing and never said a word to either of them all night. The result is a light, funny media-world anecdote that also serves as a small tribute to the odd, memorable world Ted Turner created at CNN.

This episode is a deeply personal and emotional conversation with Christine Levinson about the disappearance of her husband, former FBI agent Bob Levinson, who vanished in Iran in March 2007. She recounts how what began as a routine business trip quickly turned into a nightmare when he failed to call home, never made it to his next hotel, and was later discovered to have traveled to Iran’s Kish Island without her knowledge. From there, the discussion traces the family’s agonizing early search, the lack of useful help from the U.S. government, the trip Christine and her son made to Iran, and the years of uncertainty before proof-of-life images and video finally emerged showing Bob alive but clearly deteriorating in captivity.
The conversation also becomes a broader indictment of how Washington handled the case. Christine describes the frustration of dealing with the FBI, State Department, and White House across multiple administrations, especially when the Obama administration secured a nuclear deal with Iran without bringing Bob home or even securing his remains. She reflects on eventually being told that Bob had died, while his body was never returned, and explains why it is so painful to now see an Iranian official tied to the case participating in present-day diplomacy. The interview closes on both grief and resolve, with Christine emphasizing her children’s strength, the legacy behind the Bob Levinson Act, and her belief that the U.S. government still could and should bring Bob home.

This episode is a personal reflection on Donald Trump built around a story from Greta’s years covering him long before his presidency. After interviewing Trump again, she revisits the case of Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi, a veteran with PTSD who mistakenly crossed into Mexico with legal firearms in his car and ended up jailed there. Greta explains how she pursued the story, retraced the route herself, realized how easily the wrong turn could happen, and spent months trying to help secure his release while feeling frustrated that the Obama administration did not step in more forcefully.
The heart of the episode is what happened after Tahmooressi was finally released. Greta recounts getting an unexpected call from Trump, who asked about the veteran and then quietly sent a personal $25,000 check to help him get back on his feet. She uses that moment to make a broader point about public figures: whatever people think of them politically, there are private acts of generosity and character that the public often never sees. The result is less a political interview recap than a revealing, firsthand portrait of Trump through one specific act that, in her view, showed a side of him rarely reflected in the usual coverage.
