Host Hena Doba talks with trial attorney and former prosecutor Randolph Rice about the latest developments in the Lindsay Clancy murder case after her first trial ended in a mistrial. Clancy’s attorneys are now making a surprising new argument — saying prosecutors never proved she killed her three children, even though that was not disputed during the first trial. They examine whether the case could be dismissed, whether prosecutors will seek another trial and what the controversy surrounding the lone holdout juror could mean moving forward.#LindsayClancy #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #Court #LegalNews #PostpartumPsychosis #MentalHealth #Massachusetts #RandolphRice #HenaDoba #TruthOfTheMatter #newsnation This is journalism that refuses to look away.

Host Hena Doba speaks with former CIA counterterrorism officer and FBI Special Agent Tracy Walder about the vulnerabilities in America’s aging power grid — from physical attacks and cyberthreats to foreign adversaries, domestic extremists and the growing role of AI.

Host Hena Doba talks with data scientist Rumman Chowdhury about the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence: what makes these systems so powerful, where they can be most useful and why their growing capabilities are also raising serious concerns. The conversation examines the risks of increasingly advanced AI, the challenge of keeping safeguards and regulation ahead of the technology and whether developers and government are moving quickly enough to manage those threats. They also discuss emerging uses of AI in science, including researchers using it to help design new viruses, as one example of how the same technology can offer extraordinary promise while creating new and difficult risks. And they examine the risks of bad actors gaining access to increasingly powerful tools, whether government safeguards can keep pace, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s warning that AI development may need to slow down so safety can catch up.#ArtificialIntelligence #AI #AIDesignedViruses #Biosecurity #Biotechnology #NationalSecurity #AIsafety #AISafety #AIPolicy #MarkBeall #HenaDoba #TruthOfTheMatter #NewsNation #Anthropic #DarioAmodei #SyntheticBiology #Bacteriophages #AntibioticResistance #EmergingTechnology #airegulations The Truth of the Matter with Hena Doba isn’t just another podcast — it’s a fight to uncover what powerful institutions want hidden.Journalist Hena Doba brings you the stories people in power don’t want told, exposing evidence buried in archives, amplifying the voices of those who’ve been silenced, and holding the powerful accountable.This is journalism that refuses to look away.

Host Hena Doba marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with journalist Ashleigh Banfield, who was reporting just blocks from the World Trade Center when the North Tower collapsed. Banfield recounts running for her life through the massive cloud of smoke and debris, continuing to report from Ground Zero and traveling to Afghanistan weeks later to cover the war that followed. The two also examine how 9/11 changed America — from two decades of war and heightened security to the challenge of preserving the memory of that day for generations too young to remember it. #September11 #GroundZero #WorldTradeCenter This podcast is put together by: Ryan Kerr Allie Purser Mia Balbin-Cuesta Kate Linderman Luis Barrett John Owens Hena Doba Edited by: Maria Morales Salazar "The Truth of the Matter" with Hena Doba isn`t just another podcast it`s a fight to uncover what powerful institutions want hidden.

Can you control a human being? MKUltra, a top-secret CIA program born in the Cold War, is back in the spotlight — and this time, it’s Congress leading the conversation. The House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets recently held a hearing titled “Mind Control and Accountability: Uncovering the Truth of the CIA’s MKULTRA Project” to get answers about the era of human experimentation. In this episode of "The Truth of the Matter," Hena Doba sits down with Rick de la Torre, a retired CIA senior operations officer, to dive into this government program still clouded in secrecy. They dig into what MKUltra was designed to do, what it became and if a program like this could be replicated today. #MKUltra #government #CIA This podcast is put together by: Ryan Kerr Allie Purser Mia Balbin-Cuesta Kate Linderman Luis Barrett John Owens Hena Doba Edited by: Maria Morales Salazar "The Truth of the Matter" with Hena Doba isn`t just another podcast it`s a fight to uncover what powerful institutions want hidden.
