Former President Barak Obama and Bruce Springsteen have teamed up for a new eight-episode podcast on Spotify titled Renegades: Born in the USA. Obama and Springsteen will sit down to discuss race, fatherhood, marriage and the future of the United States.
Obama asks in the introduction of the first episode: “How did we get here? How could we find our way back to a more unifying American story? That topic came to dominate so many of my conversations last year – with Michelle, with my daughters and with friends. And one of the friends just happened to be Mr. Bruce Springsteen. On the surface, Bruce and I don’t have a lot in common. But over the years, what we’ve found is that we’ve got a shared sensibility. About work, about family and about America. In our own ways, Bruce and I have been on parallel journeys trying to understand this country that’s given us both so much. Trying to chronicle the stories of its people. Looking for a way to connect our own individual searches for meaning in truth and community within the larger story of America.”
Renegades marks the second podcast launched through Spotify as part of a deal Obama and his wife Michelle Obama announced in 2019. The Obama’s production company Higher Ground, partnered with Spotify to produce exclusive podcasts. Higher Ground is also partnering with Netflix on the release of Micheal Keaton’s new 9/11-themed film, Worth.

Ellie Goulding is expecting her first child with her husband, Caspar Jopling. The 34-year-old Goulding shared the news in an interview with Vogue.
Goulding last made a major public appearance at the V&A Museum in August and said she found out about her pregnancy shortly after, saying, “It was crazy because it was our one-year anniversary. That was not the plan. The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality. Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. I want a better word than womanly, [but] — I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it.”
Goulding said she is “excited” to be a mother but remains focused on music. The singer released Brightest Blue, her first album in nearly five years, in July amid the pandemic. Brightest Blue features the singles “Worry About Me” featuring Blackbear, “Power” and “Slow Grenade” featuring Lauv.

Federal authorities said that the wife of the notorious Mexican drug trafficker Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera was arrested Monday on drug trafficking charges.
The Justice Department said in a news release that Emma Coronel Aispuro, 31, was taken into custody at Dulles International Airport near Washington, facing charges of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana for importation into the U.S. She is alleged to have helped Guzmán escape from a Mexican prison in 2015.
Guzmán was convicted in 2019 on 10 charges of engaging in a continual criminal enterprise and multiple counts of distributing tons of cocaine into the U.S.. He was sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years.
President Joe Biden called on all Americans to remember the 500,000 lives lost to COVID-19 and to remain vigilant against the virus during remarks and a national moment of silence on Monday. Biden said, “The people we lost were extraordinary. They span generations — born in America, immigrated to America…But just like that, so many of them took their final breath alone in America. I ask all Americans to remember — remember those who were lost and those who were left behind,” the president said. “But as we remember, as we all remember, I also asked us to act, to remain vigilant.”
Biden ordered flags on federal property lowered to half staff for five days as he prepared to lead a moment of communal mourning for those lost to the virus, telling the nation he knows it’s hard but that “to heal, we must remember.”
The COVID-19 death total in the United States had just crossed 400,000 when Biden took the oath of office. An additional 100,000 have died in the past month. The milestone comes just over a year after the first confirmed U.S. fatality from the coronavirus. The pandemic has since swept across the world and the U.S., stressing the nation’s health care system and the economy.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green apologized on Monday for picking up two technical fouls with nine seconds left in Saturday’s game against the Hornets, which resulted in his ejection. Green was tossed from the game with the Warriors up two points, but after the Hornets converted both technical free throws, Charlotte took the 102–100 win.
Green told reporters on Monday, “As I sat and I thought about the situation and reassessed as I had time to let the whole thing marinate and digest—I was dead-ass wrong. And not that I was wrong, like I said, for the first tech per se, but once I had the first tech I can’t get the second tech. So I was a bit disappointed. I’m still a bit disappointed in myself because I think that whole situation bothered me. I know for sure it did.” Head coach Steve Kerry had previously said that Green“crossed the line” and added, “We love his passion and his energy and we would not be the team we are without him. But that doesn’t give him license to cross the line—and he knows that.”
The Warriors are currently 16-15 on the season; they will play the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
