Craig Unger examines Ronald Reagan's hiring of Bill Casey, an OSS veteran and dazzlingly brilliant spy, to manage his campaign. Casey quickly established a secret intelligence network, meeting with Israeli intelligence and arms dealers globally. Although Casey was notoriously difficult to understand—mumbling, spitting, and requiring Reagan to just "nod and smile"—he recognized that the release of the American hostages before November would likely secure President Carter's re-election. Casey began putting his network into action, aiming to prevent the hostages' early release. It remains unclear how much Reagan knew about Casey's covert activities. Guest: Craig Unger.

Craig Unger reveals that Bill Casey operated through the Safari Club, an off-the-books intelligence group. Casey utilized Iranian arms dealers, the Hashim brothers, who were secretly double agents working for him since the mid-1970s. Casey's best friend, John Shaheen, acted as the crucial cutout, meeting with arms dealers to shield Casey from media scrutiny. Further investigation confirmed that key source Ari Ben Mashi worked directly for Israeli military intelligence, Aman. This solidified the existence of a secret arms channel flowing from Israel to Iran, a fact Israel wanted hidden because it showed they participated in sabotaging an American presidential election. Guest: Craig Unger.

Craig Unger describes his 2014 visit to Iran's "Den of Spies" embassy museum, where he interviewed Moshen Rafi Duce, Iran's arms procurement head, who seemingly made an accidental admission about meeting "the Republicans." Former Iranian president Abolhassan Banisadr confirmed the October Surprise was a double coup d'état, destabilizing both the US and moderate Iranian elements. The timing of the hostage release confirms a prior deal: they were freed only three minutes after Ronald Reagan took the oath of office on January 20, 1981. This event, Unger concludes, fits a pattern of Republican reliance on adversarial nations to intervene in US elections. Guest: Craig Unger. Retry

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and boy, do we have a treat for you! Ever wanted to tackle Texas creative financing—think subject-to, wrap-around mortgages, and assumptions—without, shall we say, foul-ups? Good, because I've brought on the man, the myth, the legend himself: T Alan Ceshker from the Ceshker Law Firm! With over 30 years in the game and a proud 5th-generation Austinite, Alan is the go-to guy for navigating the Lone Star State's unique legal landscape. He's helped thousands of investors get these specialized transactions right, so you don't end up with an "Amityville Horror" on your hands. If you're eyeing those sweet, low-interest mortgages and distressed borrowers, this episode is your official "Don't Screw It Up" guide!In this episode, you'll learn:Demystifying Texas Creative Financing (Alan's Way!): Alan cuts through the jargon, explaining why he calls everything a "wrap" (even assumptions and sub-to deals!) from a legal standpoint, and why "sub-to" is a term he strategically avoids. Learn the core concept: it's "just seller financing" where the existing mortgage stays, and the seller dons a new "lender" hat.Bulletproof Contracting for Texas Wraps & Assumptions: Discover Alan's ingenious "math word problem" solution for drafting contracts that account for fluctuating payoff amounts in assumptions, bypassing Paragraph 3 headaches. For wraps, it's as simple as standard seller finance! Plus, get the crucial "disclose, disclose, disclose" mantra to avoid those pesky investor amnesia cases years down the road.Taming the Due-on-Sale Beast with Trusts: Unpack the infamous due-on-sale clause—what it means, why lenders usually don't call it (but sometimes do!), and how Alan's proprietary "due on sale trust" structure leverages the Garn-St. Germain Act for protection. You'll hear about specific lenders (looking at you, Home Loan Servicing!) that raise flags and why downloading generic trust forms is a bad idea.Non-Negotiable Insurance & Legal Compliance: This is HUGE. Alan reveals the #1 reason wraps fail: incorrect insurance. Learn the exact structure (seller as additional insured, not just interest; lender as mortgagee clause) and why you must use a proven provider. Plus, understand the critical legal compliance points for Texas: RMLO requirements, the 5.016 disclosure, and the "no balloons, no ARMs" rule for baseline compliance.Pro-Tips for a Smooth Ride (and Avoiding Foreclosure): Get actionable advice for managing your deals: conference calls with sellers for lender contact, the strategic use of Power of Attorney for checks, and Alan's "6% down" rule of thumb to mitigate default risk. He also stresses the importance of continuous communication with all parties to ensure smooth sailing and happy campers.This episode with Alan Ceshker is an absolute masterclass in navigating the legal and operational intricacies of Texas creative financing. He's not just talking theory; he's giving you the battle-tested strategies to build a robust portfolio and avoid painful (and costly) mistakes. So, stop drawing deals on napkins, reach out to Alan's team, and get ready to close some rock-solid transactions!

I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight by De Kunstenaar

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: The case of the Nord Stream pipeline bombing may finally be solved. The undersea gas line was once a vital link between Russia and Europe—but instead of uniting the continent, the investigation is tearing it apart. The U.S. government shutdown is having real consequences for America's allies. Over $5 billion in weapons sales to NATO partners and Ukraine are now frozen, putting key defense deals in jeopardy. European nations are deploying anti-drone units to Belgium after a swarm of drones was spotted over a nuclear power plant—raising new fears of Russian hybrid warfare. And in today's Back of the Brief—Japan's military is dealing with an unexpected threat. Not from Beijing or Pyongyang, but from bears.

There's a lot of noise out there about standards, which ones matter, which ones don't, and whether leadership reallysupports those who enforce them.Here's the truth: Every standard matters.Some may not seem directly tied to launching aircraft, securing networks, or defending the base, but every single onereinforces the discipline, trust, and professionalism that make the mission possible. Uniform appearance, customs andcourtesies, on-time reports, none of those tasks win wars alone, but they form the foundation of how we fight. If we getcomfortable skipping “the small stuff,” the cracks spread into bigger things that eventually do cost readiness andcredibility.We are members of the Profession of Arms. That title carries weight. It means we live by standards that may not alwaysmake sense to outsiders, but they exist to preserve something greater than convenience, they preserve trust. When wesigned up, we accepted a covenant with our nation and each other. Our Core Values: Integrity First, Service Before Self,and Excellence in All We Do, aren't slogans; they're the spine of every standard we uphold.I get it, some standards feel disconnected from the mission at first glance; but that's where leaders step in. It's ourresponsibility to bridge that gap for all our Airmen, to explain the “why,” to connect the dots between discipline todayand mission success tomorrow. When we do that, standards become less about control and more about commitment. Ifwe walk past a problem, we don't just accept it, we rewrite the standard. And that new standard is unacceptable.Leadership is about being kind, not nice. Nice ignores problems. Kind steps in, corrects with respect, and developspeople in the process.So, I'm calling on every Airman: Uphold the standard, teach the standard, and support those doing it right. Leaders arethe calm in the storm, the professional presence that reminds your formation, this is what right looks like.Tactical Takeaway:Every standard exists for a reason. Connect the “why,” enforce with dignity, and model what it means to be aprofessional Airman every day.Focus This Week:​ Re-examine one standard your team overlooks, connect it to core values and mission impact.​ Set up some time (Airman's time) to coach on how to provide feedback (good ref: the SBI).​ Mentor one Airman on why discipline in small things matters.​ Publicly reinforce someone modeling high standards.​ Be the calm in the storm: the example others follow when the easy choice would be to look away.Don't Wait, LEAD Your Team Through the Storm!More Resources Here:https://linktr.ee/theinformedairmanhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1I2faP_RRPd7Yh3MwUsWCWVZbdfgHkBvk/view?usp=drivesdk

Episode 73 of What Gives?—the Jewish Philanthropy Podcast from Jewish Funders Network, hosted by JFN President and CEO Andrés Spokoiny. In this episode, Andrés speaks with Ronen Koehler, a former submarine commander and a leader of Brothers and Sisters in Arms. We recorded this conversation during Israel's war with Iran, with Ronen joining us from inside a public shelter in Tel Aviv. He reflects on the urgent, grassroots work of transforming neglected public shelters into safe and humane spaces, the evolution of Brothers and Sisters in Arms since October 7th, and the leadership lessons he carries from military service to civil society. It's a conversation about resilience, responsibility, and the power of citizens to step up when systems falter. Take a listen.

Laurence Holmes & Matt Spiegel react to the news that the Cubs declined the team option on Starting Pitcher Shota Imanaga.

On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, host Adam Lisicky reconnects with Caroline Grace Vein (Blondestandard) for an honest, inspiring conversation about resilience, creativity, and the journey of an artist. Nearly three years after her breakthrough debut "Blue Eyes," Caroline opens up about navigating health challenges—including a diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma just after graduating college—and how they shaped her music and perspective.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Graeme Menzies, whose book "Trading Fate: How a Little Known Company Stopped British Columbia from Becoming an American State” was released earlier this year by Heritage House Publishing of Victoria, BC. Mr. Menzies recounts the Nootka Crisis – a clash between the Spanish and the British on the northern coast of what's now Vancouver Island - in the late 18th century. But, he also focuses on the somewhat forgotten business venture of “Trading Fate's” subtitle – the King George's Sound Company - which was deeply entwined with what happened at Nootka, and with what ultimately happened between diplomats sorting things out between Madrid and London. For more information on "Trading Fate: How a Little Known Company Stopped British Columbia from Becoming an American State”: https://heritagehouse.ca/products/trading-fate Mr. Menzies will give a presentation about "Trading Fate" at Indigo Books on Robson Street in Vancouver, BC on Saturday, November 22, 2025. https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/store-locator/vancouver-indigo-robson.html CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org.

We break down why Jacoby “No Picks” Brissett is the exact backup QB you don't want to face, why this is a must-win that won't feel like one, and how Maddux turned duct tape and journeymen into league-best ERA magic…which Texas now has to replace.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA Manhattan‑sized interstellar object just got weird: Atlas 3I is accelerating in ways gravity alone can't explain and shining bluer than the Sun. We unpack what those signals really mean, why a comet's outgassing is still the benchmark explanation, and how a December window could settle the debate with clearer measurements. Yes, Avi Loeb floats the “alien engine” idea; we stress‑test that claim against spectroscopy, trajectory modeling, and the history of tricky small‑body photometry.Then the universe gives way to a very terrestrial jolt: a Kentucky resident expecting medication opens a box packed with severed arms and fingers on ice. As shocking as it sounds, there's a real medical logistics framework for anatomical donations and surgical training. We walk through how those shipments are supposed to work, what likely failed, and what anyone should do if sensitive biological material lands on the wrong porch.Finally, we wade into the swirl around an official's jet travel logs, accusations of perks, and a country “sensation” few have actually heard. Beyond the headlines, we focus on rules, oversight, and how context gets lost when outrage leads. It's a tour from deep space to doorstep snafus to public accountability, all wrapped with a lighter debate about when it's fair game to spin up the Christmas playlist and when the tree should actually go up.If this mix of space science, real‑world oddities, and media literacy hit the spot, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who loves a good mystery—cosmic or otherwise.

On this CLAMMY and FISHY BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel (clam)digs into the audio archives to tell the twisted tale of the Ivar's Billboard Hoax, aka "Underwatergate." Though, once you've listened, it may have you wondering if there was ever hoax at all, or if it was actually some kind of elaborate coverup. In 2009, Seattle-based Ivar's seafood restaurants released a series of videos documenting the search for and discovery of UNDERWATER BILLBOARDS in Puget Sound. As the story goes, they were placed in the 1950s by restaurateur and showman Ivar Haglund to reach burgeoning submarine traffic. The 2009 undersea search was all very exciting, and many were completely hooked. But then, Jim Dever, with KING 5's Evening Magazine at the time - and still a great friend of CASCADE OF HISTORY - had the exclusive exposé, produced in cooperation with Ivar's, and featuring Ivar's CEO Bob Donegan. As Dever's report made it seem, the whole thing was a brilliant stunt that fooled a lot of people - but it angered a few, too, who thought Ivar's had gone too far. Fast forward to November 2015, and naïve history radio correspondent Feliks Banel set out to tell the backstory with help from Paul Dorpat. Dorpat is a beloved historian - and friend and biographer of Ivar - who had served as official historian of the vintage underwater billboard hunt. When the hoax had been revealed in 2009, Dorpat – longtime author of the weekly “Now & Then” history column - was criticized by many, and even temporarily suspended by The Seattle Times for his role in the stunt. As you listen to Paul Dorpat's 2015 version of events, try to keep clam.

Send us a textJon sends Val to Tormund Giantsbane with terms. In a shocking turn of events, Jon's advisers disagree with the plan. Simon and Mackelly would like to remind Jon, well his advisers actually, of what befell Janos Slynt, and why.Chapter Review:Lord Commander Jon Snow escorts Val through the Wall. She's headed north to find Tormund Giantsbane and offer him safe passage through the Wall if he'll follow the expected rules - don't kill everyone and help defend the Wall. She's confident that she'll find him, but less sure of how he'll receive the message. She wants Jon to look after the baby, whom she's dubbed Monster, as she's certain that Melisandre has seen through the baby-swap deceit.Back at the Wall, Jon's breakfast is disturbed by Bowen Marsh, Othell Yarwick, and Septon Cellador. They don't like to complain about everything, but the men are grumbling. They don't want Leathers as the new Master-at-Arms, nor Satin as Jon's steward. Jon doesn't care. They don't like Val's mission. Jon doesn't care. They don't think more Wildlings should be admitted. Jon doesn't care.They worry about Jon's (as yet unspoken) plans for Hardhome, a haunted town north of the Wall where it is rumored that the refugee free folk are amassing. Again Jon has to remind them that anyone who dies north of the Wall is going to come back to haunt them. They just don't get it.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jon Snow - Bastard son of Ned Stark. Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.Val - Sister-in-law to Mance Rayder. Wrongly perceived as a princess by Stannis.Bowen Marsh - Lord Steward of the Night's Watch and oft-times critic of Jon Snow's decisions.Othell Yarwick - First Builder of the Night's Watch.Septon Cellador - Septon of Castle Black.Iron Emmet - Ranger of the Night's Watch and Master at Arms of Castle Black.Dolorous Edd - Brother of the Night's Watch and friend and steward to Jon Snow.Ghost - Jon's direwolf.Castle Black - Headquarters of the Night's Watch.

Day 1,342.Today, after a weekend of Russian bombardments on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities – with fires killing multiple civilians – we examine Moscow's failed diplomatic bid to block Donald Trump's latest sanctions on Russian energy.

Later, we sit down with Ukrainian historian Serhii Plokhy, to discuss the Cold War arms race, and how Kyiv could have retained nuclear weapons after the collapse of the Soviet Union.Please note this episode features distressing recordings from the bombardment on Kyiv, including sounds of incoming drones.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Ukrainian historian Serhii Plokhy. @SPlokhy on X.WATCH OUR SPECIAL LIVE EPISODELink here: https://youtu.be/Mw_lWhp-flUQuestions from the audience are answered in the podcast version, below:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/special-putin-could-strike-london-in-90-minutes-russias/id1612424182?i=1000733450202 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7DKehIQCz24eKK73xjP2e8 LINKSSerhii Plokhy's new book, ‘The Nuclear Age: An Epic Race for Arms, Power and Survival':https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nuclear-Age-Epic-Power-Survival/dp/0241582865 ‘Will I die?'
