What Tito Ortiz Really Thinks About Trump, Dana White, and UFC’s Rise

What Tito Ortiz Really Thinks About Trump, Dana White, and UFC’s Rise

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.

Greta Wire Shorty: The Aruba Sting, the Missing Arrest, and a Second Murder

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.

Falsely Accused in the Anthrax Case: Dr. Steven Hatfill Speaks Out

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.

"The Golf Bag Held The Murder Knife" – OJ Manager Mike Gilbert Exposes The Trial's Darkest Secrets

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. Got a comment or question?

Preaching Behind the Old Iron Curtain: Franklin Graham in Belarus

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.
