1. ==> Legal Analyst Weighs in on Diddy Trial, Celebrity, Money and Justice
When celebrity and money collide with the law, does true justice stand a chance? James Porfido—former prosecutor, criminal defense attorney and Court TV analyst—has decades of experience on both sides of the courtroom. He’s provided courtroom analysis and weighed in on high-profile trials from Michael Jackson to Harvey Weinstein, and now he’s watching the federal trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs unfold with a critical eye. “When justice depends on how much money you have, it stops being justice. It becomes a transaction,” says Porfido. “The Diddy case is just the latest example.” Porfido is the author of “Unequal Justice: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scales,” a searing look at how wealth, politics and power distort outcomes in American courtrooms. Book him to discuss the deeper implications of celebrity trials and what it means for everyday Americans. Contact James Porfido at (973) 620-2157; jporfido@rtirguests.com
2. ==> NYC Primary is Another Blow to Dem Establishment
Zohran Mamdani’s stunning upset over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo puts him on track to secure the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York. The 33-year-old Democratic socialist’s platform was tailored to help working people in New York City and includes freezing rent, creating free bus service, and no-cost childcare. Sam Rosenthal, political director of RootsAction, says, “Zohran’s success does not just point to a new era for New York. It also means that the progressive movement is rejuvenated nationally. When candidates reject big donors and corporate lobbyists and speak directly to working people, they can win. Looking ahead, this campaign can be replicated elsewhere across the country — it just requires the bravery to throw off the yoke of the Democratic Party’s consultant class and embrace pro-working-class politics.” RootsAction is an online initiative that seeks to educate and mobilize voters on issues such as climate change and civil rights in the United States.

3. ==> Oncologist: What to Know About Endocrine Disruptors
If you’ve been on social media lately, chances are you’ve heard about endocrine disruptors. People say they can interfere with your hormones, leading to serious health conditions. We’re exposed to these chemicals daily when we wash our hair, cook our food in nonstick pans and eat canned food. Should we be worried? Are they linked to cancer? Dr. Mikkael Sekeres says, “The evidence linking endocrine-disrupting chemicals to cancer is not strong in most cases—and not remotely on par with other known risk factors, like alcohol and smoking.” He says it’s reasonable to take steps to avoid certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals, but you shouldn’t worry. He’ll discuss what science says about the chemicals and common-sense ways to limit exposure, like switching to glass food storage containers and glass and metal water bottles. “Here’s my advice,” he says, “Focus on taking steps for reducing cancer risk that are backed by stronger evidence. Don’t smoke, reduce your alcohol intake, exercise regularly and eat whole foods.” Mikkael Sekeres, MD, MS, is the chief of the division of hematology and professor of medicine at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami. He is the author of “When Blood Breaks Down: Life Lessons from Leukemia.” Contact him at msekeres@med.miami.edu; @MikkaelSekeres
4. ==> Freedom is Not Free: What Americans Can Learn From Hungary
Great 4th of July Show! Since 2010 Hungary has been led by Viktor Orban, an authoritarian strongman who is a favorite among American conservatives. Laszlo Suhayda was five years old when he followed his parents and two older sibling through a minefield in the forest of Sopron, Hungary, to escape the oppressive Communist government. He’ll share the grim lessons he learned about war, totalitarian governments, and keeping the faith amid horror as it relates to the current turmoil in the world. He says, "As I was swimming through weeds, I fell on top of a young Hungarian man who was shot in the head by a Russian sniper. I saw the tragedy of war and the price of freedom. Freedom is not free; you have to earn it." Laszlo is the author of "Twelve Bells to Freedom: The Suhajda Story," and the inventor of the first wine slushee product in America.

5. ==> It’s Shark Season: Is it Safe to Go in the Water?
Hilton Head Island saw its second shark attack in recent days as vacationers flock to the shore to beat the heat. As fears rise, shark expert Gavin Naylor reminds us that attacks on humans are highly unlikely. Naylor, director for Shark Research at the University of Florida, says you’re about 200 times more likely to drown than be bitten by a shark. “If sharks were targeting humans, we'd have at least a hundred bites every day," Naylor says. Despite the low risk, Naylor says beachgoers can take precautions to minimize the chances of a shark encounter and advises against swimming alone, venturing too far offshore, swimming in areas with schooling fish, wearing jewelry and swimming near fishing activities.
