Cilia Flores’ Role: Far from being a symbolic first lady, Flores is a mastermind behind corruption and drug trafficking. She was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury and linked to major criminal activities, including her nephews’ cocaine smuggling. Western Hemisphere Strategy: The discussion emphasizes the Monroe Doctrine and its modern interpretation under Trump (“Donroe Doctrine”), asserting U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere to counter Russian, Chinese, and Iranian influence. Military Operation: The arrest of Maduro was a highly precise Delta Force mission, compared to past U.S. interventions like Noriega’s capture in Panama. The podcast praises Trump’s decisiveness and military success without U.S. casualties. Regional Impact: Cuba: Faces severe pressure due to loss of Venezuelan oil and the death of Cuban guards during the raid. Other Leftist Regimes: Leaders in Nicaragua, Colombia, and Brazil are considered weakened. Mexico: While not a failed state, concerns about narco-terrorism and water treaty disputes are highlighted. Future of Venezuela: Interim President Delcy Rodríguez is described as another Marxist figure, raising concerns about continuity of corruption. Advocates for free and fair elections to restore stability and attract foreign investment, especially in oil and gold sectors. Venezuela’s vast natural resources make it a prime candidate for rapid economic recovery if governance shifts toward pro-market policies. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Tim sits down with a Colombian native and U.S. citizen with his unique perspective on the November immigration raids by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. Manolo Betancur owns a bakery but shut it down when the raids began.

Writer, humorist, previvor, survivor, and breast cancer prevention advocate Gila Pfeffer joins Leah for a thoughtful, funny, and deeply honest conversation about loss, resilience, and finding humor in the most unlikely situations.Gila talks about her memoir, Nearly Departed: Adventures in Loss, Cancer, and Other Inconveniences, how humor can be a survival tool during cancer treatment, and her cheeky Feel It on the First campaign that raises awareness of breast cancer screenings and risk reduction. Gila shares her experiences from undergoing a risk-reducing double mastectomy as a BRCA+ previvor to becoming a cancer survivor who is a powerful voice in breast cancer awareness. This wide-ranging interview moves between generations—Gila's experience as a daughter watching her mother go through cancer, and later as a mother facing her own diagnosis—highlighting the power of storytelling to help us make sense of what feels impossible.

Terra, co-host of the Q morning show, has been a committed educator, advocate and trainer in the fight against human trafficking for over 20 years. Today in light of Human Trafficking Prevention month we utilize her expertise in exposing the crime most “hidden in plain sight”, and to bring the stats and put virtual faces to the victims of such horrible exploitation. What is it? Where does it take place? What does recruitment look like? And most importantly – how technology enables it to reach into our kids’ very bedrooms with fear and threats in something called “sextortion”. We talk about how porn fuels the demand and exports it around the world from the decadent culture of the west. Educate, Locate, Advocate. Parents, don’t sit this out, stay alert. An educational hour with someone who knows the specifics – and wants you to know the whats and hows as well.

Today I'm joined by Eric Cohen, CEO at Merchant Advocate. We break down why credit card processing is one of the most overlooked expense lines in dealerships, how 60–70% of stores are overpaying, and which “non-negotiable” fees are actually negotiable.

The debate over automated license plate readers in California has increasingly shifted from local crime fighting to concerns about data privacy…. when it comes to federal crackdowns on immigration and people seeking abortions or gender-related healthcare. ALPRs are now in use in hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the state, not to mention thousands of homeowner associations and business districts. So what does this all mean for civil liberties in 2026? Guest: Rachael Myrow, KQED Venezuelans in California are going through a whole range of feelings after the Trump administration's military attack to remove President Nicolas Maduro. There's celebration, outrage and a lot of questions. Reporter: Tyche Hendricks, KQED Hundreds of new state laws take effect in the new year. And one in particular brings sweet validation to all of us public radio lovers. That's because it's going to make our tote bags even more essential.

It’s estimated that more than 80,000 Oregonians are living with disabilities related to a brain injury. That includes Portlander Cheryl Green, who sustained a brain injury in 2010. Since then, Green has showcased the experiences of brain injury survivors through a number of projects, including a podcast, documentary film, short videos and her work as a self-described “access artist.” She’s also advocated for their needs as a member of the Oregon Brain Injury Council.   We’ll talk with Green about her disability justice work and how art can play a role in that movement.

Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Matt and Josh kick off their ninth annual “Resolutionary” episode with a familiar challenge in the attractions industry: it is easy to set big intentions for the year ahead, but it is harder to stay accountable and actually follow through. They address that by reviewing last year's goals with honest grading, then setting fresh, practical priorities for 2026, anchored in community, intention, and continuous improvement. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about their annual “Resolutionary” tradition, reflecting on 2025 and setting personal, professional, and industry-wide focus areas for 2026. Resolutionary as accountability, not perfection “While it's sort of a loose resolutionary process, there is some accountability in there.” Matt frames the episode as a look back and a look forward, without pretending these are rigid, all-or-nothing resolutions. Josh reinforces the point that saying it out loud matters because it creates real follow-through. “The fact that it is recorded, broadcast, and immortalized into the podcast ether creates that accountability on us.” The result is a tradition built on reflection, transparency, and a push to be more intentional year over year. Reviewing 2025 with candor “I would give myself a D on that if I was going to give myself a letter grade.” Instead of glossing over what did not happen, Matt shares where he fell short, including his goal to write more, and explains how his creative energy flowed into other outlets. He also celebrates wins like bringing back mastermind programs and expanding leadership-focused initiatives, including what grew out of their IAAPA experiences. Josh shares major momentum in his consulting model, emphasizing sustained client engagement and outcomes over one-off workshops. He also checks off key milestones like launching his online course, Service Recovery Hero, and exhibiting at IAAPA Expo. Advocate and collaborate, and getting more voices on stage “It's two words: advocate and collaborate.” Matt's 2026 theme centers on helping more people get connected, get involved, and grow their confidence, especially through speaking opportunities. He makes it explicit: “My goal in 2026 is to get more and new people speaking at IAAPA so that we can hear those new voices and new perspectives.” Josh expands on the momentum that collaboration creates, comparing it to a flywheel that is hard to start but easier to sustain once it is moving. “The momentum builds upon itself.” Together, they position community-building as both a leadership responsibility and a practical growth strategy for the industry. Process before scale, and building the next book “I've created a buffer step between growth and scale, and that is process.” Josh shares that growth has revealed a tipping point: without stronger internal systems, expansion could create friction instead of results. By gathering feedback from clients using his favorite experiential questions, he identifies what is working and what could improve, then commits to tightening operations to make outcomes more consistent. He also sets a creative goal connected to his book journey, developing the framework for his next book. Matt validates the importance of structure before execution, emphasizing that a strong framework makes the writing process possible. Identity, habits, and a personal resolution “As of January 2026, I am a world-renowned pianist.” Josh takes a left turn into identity-based habit building, inspired by prior conversations and the idea that identity drives behavior. He talks through making the piano easy to access so practice becomes natural, not a chore. Matt, as a musician, backs that up with a simple truth: if setup is hard, it will not happen. They also connect learning to teaching and family, with Josh noting the value of teaching to deepen mastery. Industry resolutions: basics, breaking silos, recovery tools, and people first “Do the basics really well.” Josh offers three industry-focused resolutions: nail fundamentals before chasing wow moments, remember that guest experience is everyone's job, and proactively define a service recovery toolbox so teams do not default to escalation. Matt adds a human-centered reminder that ties everything together: “Don't forget about your people.” He argues that with all the technology and innovation available, it is still employees who make the business run, now and forever. If anybody has any resolutions or things that they're focusing on, we want to hear them! Share your goals on social media and tag them so we can reshare and help keep the accountability alive.

The Irish Stew podcasters venture across Westmeath one last time, to the county's eastern reaches to explore the picturesque village of Tyrrellspass, where they once again find a story of community commitment…and a bog.The community leader giving cohosts John Lee and Martin Nutty the grand tour of his charming town is Eugene Dunbar, a retired teacher who never retired from educating anyone who'd listen about the treasures unique to Tyrrellspass.After meeting Eugene at the town's centerpiece castle tower, the trio followed the signs to the Cloncrow Bog & Village Trail.“I came here in 1972 as a geography teacher, and I was absolutely intrigued with the whole system of the bogs and having one so close to us here in Tyrrellspass,” he says. “It's what they term an intact raised bog, with the same vegetation that would have been on it 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,000 years ago. So, you're looking at a unique landscape that hasn't changed in millennia.”Eugene tells of how people moved from viewing bogs purely as fuel sources to recognizing them as vital carbon sinks and ecological wonders, driven locally by the volunteer effort known as ETHOS--Everything Tyrrellspass Has On Show. Refusing to be bogged down by  bureaucratic challenges, Dunbar and the other ETHOS volunteers created the interpretive raised boardwalk through the local raised bog, which morphs into a trail through the highlights the village itself, culminating in its picture-perfect town green with its evocative 1970 Imogen Stuart sculpture of three school children representing the future of the new Ireland.After a restorative pint (or maybe it was two) in the snug, welcoming Willie's Bar, Eugene took the podcasters back to his inviting home, decorated with the paintings of his wife Josephine who served the trio tea and scones while the podcast recording began in earnest.Add signature Irish hospitality to Everything Tyrrellspass Has On Show!It's off to Longford next week when Irish Stew adds a mysterious Iron Age road to its Off the Beaten Track Road Trip itinerary as they explore the Corlea Trackway, discovered in 1984 by workers digging peat in the local bog--yes, again with the bog!LinksCloncrow Bog & Village Trail WebsiteETHOS WebsiteFacebookYouTubeIrish Stew LinksWebsiteInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 1; Total Episode Count: 143

As Jesus prepared for his death, resurrection, and ultimate ascension, his followers were understandably worried. What would they do without Jesus by their side? Who was going to teach them? How would they know what was true? Jesus' promise in response to these worries was that God would give them “another Advocate,” the Holy Spirit, to be with them forever. This promise, which remains true for all Christ-followers even today, is a profound one: that the very presence of Christ would dwell within his followers, guiding them into the truth. In a time like ours, filled with untruths, misinformation, and teachers with hidden motives, it can sometimes feel like “Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed” (Isaiah 59:14). But with God's Spirit guiding us, we can find truth through Scripture, through teaching, through the voice of God in our hearts, and through the words of other believers. What might it look like to invite the Spirit of Truth to dwell more richly in us this year than ever before? ------------------------------------------

As the legislative session gets underway on Jan.12, Bali joins us live from the Georgia State University Convocation Center to discuss what we can expect regarding the state budget and the effects of federal funding cuts, plus breaking news regarding two state lawmakers. Also, one of the major issues local advocates want state lawmakers to address during the legislative session is the addiction epidemic in Georgia. In November 2025, the FBI seized more than 46 pounds of fentanyl in Georgia – enough to kill the state's entire population. The overdose death rate in Georgia has increased by 79% since 2018. Cammie Wolf Rice lost her son to opioid misuse and her brother to Fentanyl, and she is now the founder of the Christopher Wolf Crusade Alliance. Rice and Jeff Breedlove, the CEO of the American Addiction Recovery Association, talk with program host Rose Scott about their hopes for lawmakers to address the drug and addiction crisis in Georgia during the legislative session.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Show Notes: On this episode of The Gifted Life Podcast, we share a 30-year journey rooted in service as we highlight the extraordinary impact of longtime donation advocate and LOPA Board Member David Puckett. David reflects on his family's transplant journey with his daughter, Lauren, a journey that led him to become her living kidney donor for her first lifesaving transplant. That selfless gift, followed by a second kidney transplant, made countless milestones possible including the unforgettable moment David walked Lauren down the aisle. Beyond his role as a devoted father and living donor, David has given years of dedicated service to LOPA's Board of Directors, helping guide the organization's mission and champion donor families, recipients, and the lifesaving power of donation.

John 14:25-27 I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.   In this passage, the baby Jesus we celebrated on Christmas has now lived about 30 years, and he's coming to the crossroads of what He came to do. He is sharing with his closest friends who, unbeknownst to them, are about to encounter complete chaos and, from the way it seems, the whole plan falling apart. Their Messiah, their friend, is murdered in front of them.   Peace is not a place, Peace is a person, Peace is a Presence. This same Presence is with us now, just as he was with his friends, his disciples, thousands of years ago.  Here Jesus is clearly telling us that: Number one, the Holy Spirit, who is one with Jesus and the Father, is with us to remind us of everything that he said.  Number two, He says don't be troubled or afraid even when things seem like they're all falling apart. Jesus has left us with a gift, peace of mind and heart.   What thoughts are troubling your mind right now that you can ask for peace of mind?  What heartache are you feeling right now that you can ask God to bring peace to your heart?  Jesus says the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give, so don't be troubled or afraid…   Breathe  PRAY: Lord Jesus, we celebrate that holy moment when Your coming as man renewed our hearts. Excite in me a hunger for peace: peace in the world, peace in my home, peace in myself. Peace that only You can bring. Immanuel, God with us. Amen

PREVIEW WARNING AGAINST FRAGMENTED STATE-LEVEL AI REGULATION Colleague Kevin Frazier. Kevin Frazier, a University of Texas Law School fellow, warns against fragmented AI regulation by individual states seeking tax revenue. He advocates for a national framework rather than hasty local laws, arguing that allowing technology to develop through "trial and error" is superior to heavy-handed, immediate restrictions.
