1945 LAJeff Bliss reports that the FBI is investigating LAUSD's failed AI contract and Superintendent Carvalho's finances, while organized crime steals copper wire and Paramount defeats Netflix for Warner Discovery. 1.Jeff Bliss reports that Governor Newsom's national book tour faces criticism for historical inconsistencies, dismissive comments toward a diverse audience in Atlanta, and unprofessional responses from his press office. 2.Richard Epstein reports that the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling determined the president cannot unilaterally impose tariffs using emergency statutes without clear Congressional approval or an actual, profoundly disruptive emergency. 3.Richard Epstein argues that tariffs reduce national productivity and cannot replace income taxes, as modern manufacturing requires significantly fewer workers than in the 1950s era. 4.Jim McTague reports that a hotter-than-expected PPI report signals rising costs, leading "gun-shy" consumers to stretch paychecks and avoid impulse buys at supermarkets during a broad economic slowdown. 5.Lorenzo Fiori reports that Italy employs naval patrols to reduce migrant flows while debating "remigration" and promoting smaller historic towns like Arezzo to combat over-tourism in major cities. 6.Bob Zimmerman reports that Jared Isaacman restructured the Artemis program to favor private sector landers, shifting Artemis 3 to Earth-orbit testing due to the SLS rocket's slow launch cadence. 7.Bob Zimmerman reports that scientific analysis suggests the moon's ancient magnetic field was mostly weak, while new imagery reveals nitrogen seas on Pluto and "taffy terrain" formations on Mars. 8.Max Hastings reports that inexperienced British troops on Sword Beach struggled with traffic jams and the shock of combat, often halting to make tea instead of maintaining offensive momentum. 9.Max Hastings reports that conflicting orders and the absence of General Rommel paralyzed the 21st Panzer Division, delaying a decisive counterattack against Allied forces until the British armor landed. 10.Max Hastings reports that experienced desert veterans defeated a German panzer assault, but poor communications and high casualties among the infantry halted the British advance just short of Caen. 11.Max Hastings reports that historians emphasize the disorientation of landings, where survival often depended on a few heroic individuals amidst the brilliant but flawed logistics of the Allied planners. 12.Veronique de Rugy reports that Americans shoulder 90% of tariff costs, which fail to reshore production, hurt low-income families, and cannot offset interest on massive national debt. 13.Veronique de Rugy reports that the Export-Import Bank is using rare earth minerals as a pretext to expand lending authority, primarily benefiting Boeing while failing to use existing China mandates. 14.Henry Sokolski reports that the US navigates Saudi nuclear demands against Iranian restrictions, while the Pentagonpressures AI firms to allow autonomous systems for surveillance and weaponized combat operations. 15.Henry Sokolski reports that military laser tests accidentally downed a border drone, while Russia uses propaganda about NATO nuclear deployments to influence upcoming Non-Proliferation Treaty reviews at the UN. 16.

1912 WILLIAM JENNINGS  RBYAN SPEECHAnatol Lieven examines Europe's missing voice in Kremlin negotiations, highlighting hurdles like sanctions relief and Russia's demand for Ukrainian withdrawal from the contested Donbass territory. 1.Anatol Lieven questions the lack of a clear strategy for US naval fleets near Iran, hoping for diplomatic compromise and economic opening rather than war. 2.Arthur Herman contrasts the Scottish Enlightenment's focus on liberty with the French "general will," arguing that collectivism historically descends into state violence and tyranny. 3.Arthur Herman argues that the American worldview rests on three Scottish pillars: unity of knowledge, common sense, and the harmonious integration of modern scientific discovery with ancient religious revelation. 4.John Yoo reports that in a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that the IEEPA does not grant the president power to impose universal tariffs without explicit Congressional authorization. 5.John Yoo argues that the tariff ruling proves the Court is not a partisan tool, but an independent body upholding constitutional boundaries and judicial ideology. 6.Mary Anastasia O'Grady describes Cuba's regime reaching its limits, discussing the difficulty of replacing the leadership without causing total societal chaos, looting, or a power vacuum. 7.Doug Messier reports that persistent thruster failures and engineering incompetence have marred Boeing's Starlinerprogram, leaving astronauts marooned and NASA heavily dependent on SpaceX for crewed orbital missions. 8.Professor Evan Ellis reports that the death of kingpin Nemesio Cervantes triggered nationwide gunplay and roadblocks in Mexico, highlighting cartel dominance and the personal nature of the security forces' fight. 9.Professor Evan Ellis reports that a deadly clash between Cuban forces and an American speedboat underscores the island's dire economic crisis and massive blackouts caused by severe, ongoing petroleum shortages. 10.Professor Evan Ellis reports that the US allows Venezuelan oil resale to Cuba's private sector to empower citizens, while Nicolas Maduro faces criminal proceedings in a formal New York courtroom. 11.Professor Evan Ellis reports that constant leadership turnover in Peru complicates governance, raising fears that China's Chancay port could serve military logistics for the People's Liberation Army during wartime. 12.Josiah Hesse explores Mason City's religious history, linking the Music Man allegory to the Scopes trial and traveling preachers who exploited regional evangelical fervor. 13.Josiah Hesse describes his parents' journey through the apocalyptic 1970s Jesus movement into a prosperity gospel church that resulted in extreme poverty and financial disillusionment. 14.Josiah Hesse reports that Paul Weyrich used abortion as a wedge issue to mobilize evangelical voters, successfully aligning Iowa's religious community with the Republican Party during Reagan's campaign. 15.Josiah Hesse recounts the psychological fear of his religious upbringing while observing how Donald Trump's populism continues to resonate deeply with modern Iowa evangelical voters. 16.

Doug Messier discusses the ongoing delays and technical failures of Boeing's Starliner project, explaining that Boeing is still struggling to identify the root causes of malfunctions in the thruster and reaction control systems.

We're back for more stories about the impact the David Eccles School of Business has on the lives and careers of our alumni, and today, host Frances Johnson is joined by Steve Johnson and his sons Mitchell Johnson and Alex Johnson, multi-generational alums of the David Eccles School of Business, for an “All Johnson” episode on our season finale.Steve Johnson is CFO at Parker-Migliorini International, LLCm also known as PMI Foods, where he has been since 2006.. Mitchell Johnson joined Big Four accounting firm KPMG in 2002 and currently works there as a senior audit associate. Alex Johnson works in inbound sales at Weave Communications. Frances talks to the Johnsons about their family's multi-generational ties to the U of U,, the campus's growth and new facilities, and favorite Eccles experiences such as Alex's Business Scholars trips (including visits to Boeing and Amazon), Mitchell's semester abroad in London through Eccles Global and other Business Scholars travel, and Steve's IBM corporate finance internship. They also discuss the value of staying involved as young alumni—especially for in-person networking and forming long-term relationships. Steve shares the reasons why it is so important for his family to give back through scholarships and endowments, influenced by the scholarship support he and his father received and his experience reading scholarship applications on the University of Utah Alumni Board of Governors. They also reflect on how the Eccles School prepared them for different career paths through programs, professional development, and experiential learning, and offer students advice to slow down, broaden their horizons, and take advantage of campus resources and opportunities.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:What does Steve hope for his future generations?[31:28] Frances Johnson: Your sons now all three graduates of the Eccles School, and you have just been so deeply involved as a donor, as an alum at the Eccles School level and the university level. What do you hope that they do to stay engaged with the Eccles School? How do you hope they contribute, and what do you hope they're going to gain from that continued connection in your family?[32:02] Steve Johnson: Well, I hope they'll gain the same enjoyment and satisfaction that I did. The ability to feel a belonging, to continue to pass the torch along. The more involved you get and the more involved you get over time, you have a connection to the community. And it's very important. It is part of our community.The power of the alumni network matters more than digital connections[17:38] Mitchell Johnson: In the modern era, things like LinkedIn always are very beneficial to career advancement and building connections. But I think having the alumni network and having all the real in-person tangible connections just goes so, so far. And I think being able to keep, stay in touch with your old classmates, but also meeting people who have been alums for a long time, or who are fresh out of college. It's great just to build those relationships, because you never know how far those could actually take you in life.The career advantage of staying open to new connections[20:16]: Alex Johnson: I think you never know at what point, like, the perfect career opportunity might come up for you. And I think you never want to shy away from those opportunities. And I think just continuing to increase your network is a great opportunity. I think sometimes what might happen is sometimes people, they leave college and they kind of get so focused in one area, they kind of shrink their network. But I think as you continue to build your network and meet new people, like even going to some of these alumni events, I have been able to meet new people who I did not know in college. And that is a great opportunity because you might be able to meet someone who has been in your shoes but was not the exact same age as you.Show Links:Steve Johnson | LinkedInMitchell Johnson | LinkedInAlex Johnson | LinkedInDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

We take a look at the Lockheed Constellation with one of the last pilots to have flown the L-1649A Starliner Constellation. In the news, the ROTOR Act and an ADS-B In mandate, GAMA's annual Aircraft Shipment and Billing Report, the Government’s partial shutdown impact on the TSA, Government luxury jets, and a plan to market an Embraer aerial tanker. Also, an interview from the Singapore Airshow with a Product Development VP from Textron Aviation. Lockheed Starliner L-1649A flying in TWA colors. Guest Philip Kemp has been an Airline Transport Pilot for 17 years, and he has more than a little experience with the Lockheed Constellation. That connection came about in the 1980's after meeting Maurice Roundy, a Lockheed Constellation fan and collector of the airplane. Philip is one of the last pilots to have flown the L-1649A Starliner Constellation.  Philip describes the development of the Lockheed Constellation and its variants, and how the airliner was obsoleted by jet transports. He tells us about his adventures ferrying Connies, the remaining examples that still exist, and the sale of Maurice's Constellations, including an ultimately unsuccessful attempt by Lufthansa to make one of the aircraft flightworthy. Philip explains that N8083H is now at the TWA Hotel at JFK after a cosmetic restoration, N974R is with Kermit Weeks also for a cosmetic restoration, and that N7316C was shipped to Hamburg for the 100th Lufthansa anniversary. Ferry flight from Sanford, Florida, to Kermit Weeks’ Fantasy of Flight. October 2001. Philip started his career with Continental Express, and then he flew Part 135 jet charter with Charter Ops for two years. He returned to the airlines with SkyWest, then back to Continental Express (ExpressJet). Philip spent nine years with North American Airlines flying troops all over the world, and his last six years were with JetBlue. He was the Manager of Crew Training at Waltzing Matilda Aviation/Connect Airlines, a new Part 121 airline, flying Dash 8 Q400's. Philip is now looking for a good teaching opportunity in the aviation world. N8083H L-1649A at the TWA Hotel, JFK. N7316C and N8083H next to Maurice Roundy's airport house. Maurice Roundy, the day before the last flight. Lockheed 749 Constellation versus the Lockheed 1649A Starliner Constellation. See Ralph M. Pettersen’s Constellation Survivors Website. Aviation News After DCA crash, Congress acts to mandate decades-old aircraft tracking tech Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is an aviation system that uses GPS to determine aircraft position and also provides other flight information. ADS-B has two functions: ADS-B In and ADS-B Out. ADS-B Out broadcasts position and other identifying information, and has been required for many aircraft in the U.S. since 2020. ADS-B In receives transmissions from other aircraft and from ground stations. The bi-partisan Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act (S.2503) would require ADS-B out aircraft to have ADS-B In to display information about nearby traffic in the cockpit. The ROTOR Act was unanimously passed by the Senate in December 2025, and at the time of recording, a vote in the House was scheduled. House to vote Monday on ROTOR Act following deadly midair collision After recording, the House voted on the bill, but it did not pass due to insufficient votes. Under the ROTOR Act: FAA must issue final rules for ADS‑B In equipage not later than 2 years after enactment, effective within 60 days of publication. The final rule has a fleet-wide compliance deadline of December 31, 2031, for affected aircraft, with at most a 1‑year extension for certain operators. FAA must start regular briefings and public reports on the rulemaking status within 180 days after enactment and then every 90 days. GAMA Reports Strong 2025 for OEMs The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) released its 2025 Aircraft Shipment and Billing Report: Airplane shipments in 2025 compared to 2024: Piston airplanes flat (+0.6%) Turboprops declined by 5.1% Business jets increased 11.8% with 854 units. The value of airplane deliveries for 2025 was $31.0 billion, an increase of 16.1%. Helicopter shipments in 2025 compared to 2024: Piston helicopters were down 2% Turbine helicopters down 2% (preliminary) The preliminary value of helicopter deliveries for 2025 was $4.7 billion, an increase of approximately 5.5%. Homeland security reverses course on TSA PreCheck suspension Citing staffing shortages caused by the partial government shutdown, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initially suspended the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry airport security programs. Soon thereafter, DHS revised the directive in a social media post saying, “TSA PreCheck remains operational with no change for the traveling public. As staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case-by-case basis and adjust operations accordingly.” Chris Sununu, president and CEO of the trade association Airlines for America, said in a statement that the group “is deeply concerned that TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs are being suspended and that the traveling public will be, once again, used as a political football amid another government shutdown”. Geoff Freeman, head of the US Travel Association, accused Democratic and Republican lawmakers of putting politics first. “Air travel is essential for our economy and daily life, and it's disgraceful for travel to be used as leverage in political disagreements,” he said in a statement. No Expense Has Been Spared’: Inside a Luxury Jet DHS Wants to Buy for Deportations DHS has been leasing a Boeing 737 Max 8 featuring bedrooms, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs, and a bar. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is asking the OMB to approve its purchase of the jet for $70 million. ICE says that it would be used for deportations and travel for Cabinet officials. A DHS spokesperson said, “at least one of the bedrooms is currently being converted for seating to prepare the aircraft to meet the demands of its deportation mission set.” In a statement, a DHS spokesperson said, “This plane flies at 40% cheaper than what the military aircraft flies for ICE deportation flights—saving the American taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars. This is part of Secretary Noem's broader efforts to clamp down on inefficiencies and save taxpayer dollars.” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Spends $200 Million of Taxpayer Money on Pair of Gulfstream G700 Private Jets During Government Shutdown House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) and Homeland Security Subcommittee Ranking Member Lauren Underwood (IL-14) requested more information from the Secretary regarding the purchase, which does not align with earlier funding requests for the Department. Northrop, Brazil's Embraer partner on KC-390 to pitch US, others Under a memorandum of understanding, Embraer and Northrop Grumman are looking at adding an autonomous boom refueling system to the KC-390 Millennium, which currently employs a hose and drogue system. A new boom would enable the tanker to refuel U.S. Air Force aircraft. Singapore Airshow 2026 Brian Coleman brings us interviews from the Singapore Airshow.

Heidi Porch is a retired Delta Air Lines pilot whose 35-year career took her from the flight deck of DC-9s, through the Airbus family of jets and even commanding the iconic Boeing 747-400. However, her pursuit of the flight levels began the scrappy way, ferrying single-engine Cessnas from the factory in Wichita to California, and then across the Pacific Ocean to Australia and New Zealand. While ferrying a Cessna 182 across the pacific, her engine failed while still 540 miles east of Hawaii, forcing her to ditch in the vast Pacific Ocean. Her story is a lesson of skill, determination and survival, documented in detail in her book, "Ditching the Sky". https://a.co/d/3Jed78h“SocialFlight Live!” is a live broadcast dedicated to supporting General Aviation pilots and enthusiasts during these challenging times.

When you set "realistic" goals for your property management business, you might actually be limiting your growth without even realizing it…  In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull challenge entrepreneurs to think bigger, much bigger. Inspired by their experience flying a fighter jet and the concept of "impossible goals" from The Science of Scaling, they break down why realistic goals keep you stuck in current thinking, how unrealistic targets activate visionary leadership, and why 10X growth can actually be easier than incremental growth.  They explain how impossible goals shift your brain from grinding harder to thinking differently, why realistic targets often become a yardstick to beat yourself up, and how visionary entrepreneurs use bold thinking to collapse time, find new pathways, and unlock opportunities that logic alone would never reveal. They also share how to handle naysayers, protect your vision, and use doubt as fuel instead of letting it shrink your ambition. If you're ready to stop playing small, stop chasing "safe" growth, and start building something that transforms your market — this episode will challenge the way you think about goals, leadership, and what's actually possible in your business.   You'll Learn (00:00) Introduction to DoorGrow and Unrealistic Goals  (07:37) The Importance of Unrealistic Goals  (15:54) Overcoming Doubts and Limitations  (22:56) Visionary Thinking and Future Goals Quotables "I want to tell everybody to be unrealistic."  "You need to decide, I can do the things that I want to do."  "The slowest path to growth is to do it alone. So let's grow together." Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason & Sarah Hull (00:01) All right, five, four, three, two, one. All right, everybody, we are Jason and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses.   We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now, let's get into the show. All right, so today's topic, Sarah wanted to talk about. I want to tell everybody to be unrealistic. We're going to talk about unrealistic goals. She wants you to be unrealistic. I do want you to be unrealistic. And I also want you to clear all of this off. OK.   Yay. Happy. Yeah. Slightly. All right. All right. So one of the things that we got to do very recently is something that I never, never thought we would be able to do because it was seemingly unrealistic. And that was to fly a fighter jet. And by fly a fighter jet.   Yes, it was a real fighter jet. It's an L39 Albatross. For those of you that are familiar, it was not typically equipped with fighter equipment. It was mostly used as a trainer. However, it can be armed and therefore is classified as a fighter jet. And yes, we actually got to fly it. We didn't just go in it and take a look and see. Both Jason and I, one at a time, of course, got to.   fly a fighter jet and do some aerobatic maneuvers. Which was insanely fun. Right. So we took a trip to Australia and to visit my parents in Brisbane. And we saw a billboard that said, fly a fighter jet. And I was like, what? And Sarah's super into flying. So was like, hey, there's a thing. It says this. And she's like, what? I don't think so.   And I'm like, yeah. So it turns out there's, guess, the person there that runs it told us there's three countries in the world that allow you to do this because normally you can't fly one of these planes or go in as a consumer to fly one of these planes because, you know, there's all these rules because it's then a commercial flight and a commercial flight. have all these legal requirements and things you can't in the U.S. They cannot.   You cannot charter or pay for a chartered pay for a flight and then not have all these safety things in place. And this is not like, it's not the same, right? Like he's teaching us at the beginning how to eject. He's like, if we need to eject, this is what you need to do and like do this. And I'm like, what? And so there is not an ejection seat on it. There's no ejection seat. So what we'll do is we'll fly up really high and then you're going to.   do this thing and do this and the canopy will fly off and then you gotta push off. then once you're in the air and you've then pulled this thing, if your parachute doesn't automatically deploy, you wanna grab this. And I'm like, if I don't remember all this, I die? Like what? Yeah. So. It's just two levers. Could you imagine if you're on. It's two levers to open the canopy and he's gonna fly and you don't have to jump.   You're like, have to launch yourself. right, you don't have to launch yourself. You pretty much will just wait for the plane to fall out from under you while you float in parachute. Could you imagine you're like, get herded in like cattle into Southwest and you're like, you're on the Southwest bus, right? And you get your seat. Actually, they're going to have assigned seating now, I guess. But before I was just free for all. you're like, get in and you're like, and they're like, hey, by the way, here's how to.   like find a parachute and here's what all the steps you need to do in case there's a problem. Do you have this down or you die? You ready? We're like, wait, what? Yeah. They're just like, here's a flotation device and your seat and like here's how to use your seatbelt and then breathe in this thing if you need to. And otherwise, like that's it.   But yeah, like parachute down. Because on the airlines, it's like, if you survive the crash, then we'll tell you what to do after that. Don't worry about it. OK, so. Sorry. Yes. So no possible goal. It's very, very safe to fly on the airlines. is. it's it's consistently getting more and more safe. This is slightly different than flying on an airline. This was it was really cool. Super fun.   He let us take the little joystick control and like. The little joystick control. What do you call it? What is it called? The little joystick control. It's between your legs and it's a joystick. Don't get any ideas. just called But you grab this thing and like, yeah, you take the stick. like, do you want to do it? He's like, all right. He guided me through doing, I got to do a barrel roll. Yep. And I got to do a loop. Yep. Which I call a loop-de-loop. Yeah. But I got to do a loop-de-loop.   And it was really, it was crazy. Like I'm like doing, I'm like, and we got a video like on his DJI camera, like a GoPro, like the whole thing was recorded. So there's evidence that I did this. Right. But yeah, it pretty wild. was really wild that we could go do that. And apparently if you spend enough money and you're in the right country, you can do maybe anything. I don't know. There are certain places, upon further research.   There are certain places in the US that will let you fly certain jets. And the Albatross is actually the most common out of the ones that you can fly in the US. The is finding someone that will allow you to fly it. that's a bit different. Yes. Like if you get to control it. Because, yes, exactly. Yeah. And sometimes ⁓ these are owned by private owners. So like if you know a guy and you go, hey, can you...   Can you take me up? They might let you take the controls. might let you do it, you know, but there's also schools. I think there's one. Oh, I forgot where it's called, but it's called like Jet Trainer Center or something like that. The guy that runs it is Larry and they have an albatross is one of them, but I think they have like six different actual jets that you can fly and learn as well, which is   really cool. But then there's schools. So it's not impossible in the US. It's just there's a few extra hurdles that you might need to cross. it's something though that I thought I would never ever get to do. Like when you look at these crazy jets, generally I don't think   you look at it and go, yeah, I could fly that one day. We went to that air show. During any of that point, were you looking at those planes going, yeah, I could fly one of those. Yeah, I wonder what it would take to fly one of those. No, I was not thinking that. right, because you just don't usually think that it's possible. You think, oh, wow, those are probably owned and many of them are by museums.   or by some sort of club that's funded to keep this thing airworthy and maintained and flying, they probably aren't going to let the public fly it. Okay. So why is it important to have unrealistic goals? Well, I think you should be very unrealistic in your goals because if you're realistic, if you go, okay,   I just want to do things that I know that I can do. Then it almost takes the fun out of it, number one. And I think that's, for entrepreneurs, that's half the battle is, it fun? What was the journey like? Or was it something that you can just go, yeah, I did it, but everybody else can do it too. Where's the fun in that? Yeah, Cindy Lauper said girls just want to have fun. ⁓   So we had to make sure she had some fun. ⁓ Yeah, guys, we want to have some fun, too, right? So it was yeah, was super cool to be able to do that. I think the way I view this, I've been explaining the idea of unrealistic goals or impossible goals, ⁓ which we got the idea from Dr. Benjamin Hardy and his book, The Science of Scaling. And we got to hear him talk about this at a mastermind. The idea is that our.   know, realistic goals are based on our current limited level of thinking. And so that means our brain already knows how to do it. And it usually is just do what you already know how to do. But because that's not enough, just do more, work harder. And that's not a great strategy or great path is to just work harder because that's not really exciting. That's not super. That's not fun. Like, hey, work, work, do what you're doing already, but work harder, which is less, more uncomfortable. just.   More effort. Work 22 hours a day instead of 18. Yeah, yeah, more hours. And so Impossible Goals, our brain, I view as this magical like quantum computer. Like it can create whole realities instantly in our head while we're sleeping. And it can do all these amazing things. And our unconscious mind or subconscious can be working on problems and crunching and chewing on challenges and figuring stuff out and coming up with ideas.   that bubble up to the surface. But if we focus on realistic goals, it shuts down. It doesn't have anything useful to do. It's going to figure out why is this so hard? Cool. Here's all your reasons. Let's just make it harder. And how do we avoid pain? Well, I'm going to convince you or cause you to have challenges in just even doing this because this sounds uncomfortable. It doesn't sound fun. So I'm going to give you all the excuses and BS stories and reasons to not do it. So our brain actually starts working against us.   And so when we get in, so usually realistic goals become this yardstick by which we beat ourselves up with over the head, right? And we measure ourselves by it, but then it really just becomes a tool to beat ourselves up. Whereas when we shift into impossible goals or unrealistic thinking or unrealistic goals, it doesn't matter if we hit these goals. It just matters that we have this amazing new tool or resource to convince or get our brain to think differently and to come up with new pathways.   And so our brain becomes this awesome tool to find new pathways or new ways of thinking. And it gets us to think differently. So even if we don't achieve the goal, we're far more likely to get good results because we're thinking outside of our current limitations or the current box. And so we use goals as a tool or we use time as a tool. We either shorten the timeline for the outcome to where it becomes impossible or unrealistic, or we just 10x or increase the goal amount or what.   result we want to achieve in the timeline we had set. And so time becomes a tool or the goal becomes a tool and we find new pathways. We find new ways of doing this. And I've seen clients do this. I've seen this in reality. We've started doing this in our own business. And this is why we're able to innovate, come up with new ideas, because our brains are alive. This is where you actually shift as an entrepreneur into being a visionary entrepreneur. Because if you're focused on realistic goals, there's no vision. You already know what to do.   You know it all. You already know what to do. And so you're not focused on anything different or anything new. There's no vision there. And the Bible says where there's no vision, the people perish, right? You got to some vision. That's leadership. So now you're a visionary, you're a leader. And visionaries and leaders throughout history have always had some sort of goal that everybody said, that's not going to work. That's impossible. Why are you trying so hard? Just focus on something realistic.   And the cool thing about these impossible goals is even if you don't hit it, you're not going to beat yourself up. Like if your goal is a thousand doors in a year, but you hit 300, are you going to cry like a little baby? No, you're not going to cry. You're going to be like, Hey, this awesome. You're going to be excited. And so you're still like, I didn't hit the goal, but I won. But if you have a realistic goal and you're like, I want to get a hundred doors this year.   then you're going to feel like garbage when you don't hit it. Cause you're like, it's so realistic. know I could have done it and I didn't do it. And then you start beating yourself up and I didn't do it this year, Jason. And I should have signed up with door grow and I just didn't do it. And I would have achieved my realistic goals or maybe some impossible ones. And you drop the ball. You messed up. You should have got with us and we could have helped you out. All right. You messed up. Isn't that from A.A. You done messed up A.A. Ron. Yeah. Okay.   Key and peel. right.

So how do I turn that on? boy. All right. Right over here. Many clicks. wait. No, no. I got it. I got it. All right. So.   Yeah, you made me close this. because you said it was in the way. Right on the screen. Because you got to like. right. All right. Here we go. Sponsored by this episode, sponsored by vendor.

All right. It was a smooth transit, smooth operator. Cool. I'm leaving this up because I need the outro. Fine. No. Okay. I can't. Sorry. Well, I said no. all right. Cool. So here's what I was thinking originally, right?   is... boy. I know. So when you start to think about the things that you want to do...   You know when you have that half second where you just dream a little bit? Yeah. And it's almost like you get transported back in time where when you were a kid and people would ask you, what do you want to do when you grow up? And you can say anything. Yeah. And it doesn't matter what you say. You can say anything in the world. I'm going to be leader of the free world. I want to be an astronaut. President of the United States. you should be an astronaut.   I wanna be a doctor that operates on, I wanna be a brain surgeon, right? And people go, yeah, you should do that. That's amazing. That's so great. We need to get back to more of that in adulthood though. So now it's like, hey, what do you wanna do with your business? And for some reason, instead of this outlandish, unrealistic, seemingly impossible, crazy thing where it's like, you know what? I wanna take over an entire state.   or wanna dominate the entire market, or you know what? Actually, I think what I wanna do is I wanna get so big that I purchase all of my competitors and all of the slumlords properties and I turn them around. And then I completely eliminate bad property managers and slumlords in my market and I'm gonna do that. Man, that's exciting, but we don't allow ourselves to do that anymore as adults because we're so nervous about, but.   Can I do that? And what will other people think about it? And will people believe that I can do that if I say this crazy thing? Do you think that it would have been crazy for me to tell people, hey, one day I'm gonna go fly a fighter jet? Yeah, people would have laughed at me. They would have been like, yeah, sure you are. Sure, okay, Sarah, sure. So here's my current goal. And it's not a new goal.   It's on the list, but it's definitely staying on the list. My goal is to fly a Boeing 737 without being an airline pilot. You don't want to work for the airlines. So if I went to the airlines, it would be really easy. It's like, oh, okay. I mean, it's not that hard, right? Because you're choosing a path that you know is going to get you there. I don't want to work for the airlines, but I really want to fly a Boeing 737.   So without working for the airlines, that seems pretty much impossible. And in fact, I have shared this online on social media and pilots, pilots are telling me that it's impossible. They're like, yeah, good luck. You'll never be able to do that unless you work for the airlines or you could go fly a simulator. Why don't you just be happy with the simulator? So when we share these crazy goals and people go, you can't do that. That's never gonna happen.   Are you insane? Like, who do you think you are? That's my favorite one. I'm like, you don't even know who I am, right? Who do you think you are? You can't do that. I'm like, watch me. Watch me. Just watch. So for me, like that's fuel. For other people, it's so crushing. For other people, when people have this huge goal and they're like, ⁓ I'm so excited about this. I'm going to do this. And other people, nay, nay on that.   And they go, no, no, no, you can't do that. Let's keep you down here. Let's keep you small. I don't know. You're dreaming too big. Like that's not, it's not going to happen for you. Sometimes that feels really crushing and it takes the wind right out of your sails. And then you go, you know what? Maybe they're right. I shouldn't even try. Okay. So you can either use it as fuel. If you're somebody like me who likes to prove people wrong.   then that's great fuel. If that doesn't fuel you, then you need to be very selective with who you tell your goals to. So if you know that, I'm gonna say this thing in the first second that I get pushback or questions or doubt or people who are just fearful and not as confident as I am in my dream and in my belief, and that's gonna shake me and that's maybe not gonna help me.   pursue this goal that's going to deter me and bring me down and slow me down, yeah, then you need to be very selective with who you're sharing that goal with. And sometimes you have people around you that are really supportive and sometimes you don't. So the message in this is one, have the goals that just seem like...   They are impossible. Like Sarah, there is not a way to fly a Boeing unless you work at the airlines. And I laugh at it. When I see people personally, when I see people commenting like that, I go, ⁓ that is a cue to me. It tells me how small their vision is. Their thinking is limited. So. Yeah. It's kind of it's once you're on the other side of it.   Once it's like once you see something you can't unsee it. So once you're on the other side of that and now you hear somebody saying you can't do that. That's not possible. That's not realistic. That's never going to happen. That's not how things work. Who do you think you are? I can't believe you would even think something like that is possible. Is that a good idea? Right. All of those things. Then you start to go home. Well.   for someone like that, yeah, it would be impossible, but not for someone like me. So you need to decide, I can do the things that I want to do. And as soon as you make that decision, like flying a fighter jet, super cool. How much effort did we put into making that happen?   No, we made a phone call. We paid money. Yeah. He saw a billboard. We put on a jumpsuit. We climbed in the plane. That's it. He saw a billboard. And then we didn't try. didn't. And then I grabbed the little stick thingy. Oh, God. And then I just did it. The joystick. So we didn't try to hunt people down. We didn't try to find a place that we do it. We didn't do a bunch of research. We didn't spend a lot of time talking about it or researching it or.   trying to find people who know people. We didn't do anything. We saw a billboard. So sometimes when you have an unrealistic goal, it's okay if you don't know how it's going to happen because it very rarely happens the way that you think it's going to happen anyway. Because once you decide...   and once you're confident, once you're solid in that goal and you go, I am committed to doing this crazy thing and I don't care if people think that I'm crazy for wanting to do this thing, I'm going to make it happen. All of a sudden, doors start opening for you, phone calls start happening, connections start happening. Derek and I were just talking about this last week. It's the things that you can They don't know who Derek is. Derek Morton is one of our amazing clients who's taking over the state of Utah.   So it's very often the things that you would never expect, you would never plan, you would never be able to sit down and think in like, you know, your 150 step plan to get me from A to B, it wouldn't make the list because the things that will happen to you, they will just come to you. Things will just happen. The right opportunities will show up. The right people will show up. The right connections will show up.   Things will just start falling in place and happening for you, but it all stems on one thing, and that is your belief in your ability to do things that are seemingly unrealistic. There you go. Cool. All right. So I concur. I agree. Have impossible or have unrealistic goals. Why? Because when you shift into that level of thinking, no longer is it that yardstick. Now you're in playground.   Now you're in this fun space of like imagining, having vision, and it doesn't matter if you hit it or not. It just, it shifts you into a healthier space of thinking. And then you'll find new pathways. You'll find new ideas. You'll find ways to collapse time. ⁓ Ben Hardy calls it finding wormholes. You find these ways to get to the result in a much shorter period of time that takes way less steps. It's not as much work. He wrote a preceding book before that, that was called 10 X is easier than two X. And in that he's talking about how   It's actually easier to go bigger than to focus on smaller growth goals because smaller growth goals, there's a lot of different ways to do it and it's a lot of hard work, but there's very few ways to grow big quickly and it's usually less steps and less work. So a of people think, well, it's going to be so hard. It's actually easier if you do it right. So have some impossible goals. Okay. Anything else we need to add to this? One last thing is we have a...   Seemingly impossible goal right now a door grow that we are yet again Making a reality. It will be something that changes the entire property management industry forever and No one has done it. No one has done anything like it and it seems crazy it seems like Insane to even really   think about it. However...   We're gonna make it happen. And 2026, we are launching something that really will take over the entire industry. So stay tuned. Watch our crazy journey.

It's an open secret that the Chinese government has, for years, engaged in a global campaign to steal intellectual property from Western tech and manufacturing firms. Those stolen secrets have helped Chinese companies, in industry after industry, close the gap and in many cases surpass their competitors elsewhere. And at the center of that campaign is the Ministry of State Security (MSS), China's pre-eminent intelligence agency. The US has apprehended hundreds of people linked to the MSS and its efforts, but its inner workings remained a mystery until one arrest unearthed a trove of confidential documents, covert communications and even a diary.The Sixth Bureau follows Xu Yanjun, the Deputy Division Director of the Sixth Bureau of the Jiangsu Province MSS office. Xu is a burnt-out spy with money problems, a crumbling marriage and a deep resentment for his boss - on a mission to snatch the crown jewel of American aerospace: GE jet engines. With dead drops, cyberattacks, aliases, blackmail and the occasional break-in, Xu played a role in one of the largest economic espionage operations in history, targeting corporate giants like DuPont, Boeing and General Motors. But in the end, his sloppiness - and a cunning FBI sting - led to a stunning reversal: Xu was lured to Belgium, extradited to the US and became the first Chinese intelligence officer ever convicted on American soil.Through undercover recordings, insider accounts and deep reporting, The Sixth Bureau reveals how one man's downfall pulled back the curtain on China's sprawling espionage machine. This isn't just a story about spies: It's about the people caught in the middle of a new kind of cold war.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Tổng bí thư đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam Tô Lâm đã đến Washington trong tuần qua để dự cuộc họp khai mạc “Hội đồng Hòa bình” do Donald Trump thành lập. Nhân dịp này, ông Tô Lâm đã hội kiến tổng thống Mỹ tại Nhà Trắng ngày 20/02/2026. Chuyến đi Hoa Kỳ của ông Tô Lâm được báo chí quốc tế chú ý vì đây là chuyến công du đầu tiên đến một cường quốc kể từ khi ông được bầu làm tổng bí thư thêm một nhiệm kỳ và kể từ nay thâu tóm mọi quyền lực trong tay. Theo thông báo của chính quyền Hà Nội, trong cuộc gặp với ông Tô Lâm, tổng thống Trump cho biết sẽ xóa tên Việt Nam khỏi "danh sách kiểm soát xuất khẩu chiến lược (D1 - D3)", tức là danh sách các quốc gia bị hạn chế tiếp cận công nghệ tiên tiến của Mỹ. Cuộc gặp tại Nhà Trắng diễn ra sau khi các hãng hàng không Việt Nam công bố các hợp đồng trị giá tổng cộng 37 tỷ đô la mua 90 máy bay Boeing.  Trang mạng The Diplomat ngày 23/02/2026, nhận định, thông báo nói trên của tổng thống Trump "là dấu hiệu cho thấy sự tin tưởng chiến lược ngày càng tăng giữa hai quốc gia. Tuy nhiên, xét đến vị trí mang tính cơ cấu của Việt Nam trong chuỗi cung ứng liên kết Mỹ và Trung Quốc, thương mại và thuế quan có khả năng sẽ là điểm gây bất đồng chính giữa Hà Nội và Washington trong thời gian còn lại của nhiệm kỳ thứ hai của ông Trump." Đàm phán thương mại gay go Quan hệ Việt-Mỹ hiện nay đang phần nào bị chựng lại do bế tắc trong đàm phán thương mại song phương. Trên trang mạng The Diplomat ngày 13/02, biên tập viên về Đông Nam Á Sebastian Strangio nhắc lại: “ Washington áp thuế 20% đối với hàng hóa Việt Nam từ tháng 8 năm ngoái. Hai nước đã tổ chức vòng đàm phán thứ sáu vào đầu tháng này, nhưng vẫn chưa đạt được thỏa thuận cuối cùng. Theo các nguồn tin được hãng tin Bloomberg trích dẫn, các cuộc đàm phán thương mại Mỹ-Việt Nam đang bế tắc về định nghĩa hàng hóa “trung chuyển”. Chính quyền Trump cho biết những hàng hóa “trung chuyển” sẽ bị đánh thuế 40%, nhưng vẫn chưa nói cụ thể xác cách thức xác định và xử lý loại hàng hóa đó.  Các cố vấn thương mại của ông Trump từ lâu vẫn cho rằng một lượng lớn hàng hóa Trung Quốc được vận chuyển qua Việt Nam, hoặc được sản xuất tại đó với rất ít nguyên liệu đầu vào, để tránh thuế quan của Mỹ đối với Trung Quốc. Họ cho đây là lý do chính dẫn đến thặng dư mậu dịch của Việt Nam đối với Mỹ, mức thặng dư lớn thứ ba thế giới sau Trung Quốc và Mêhicô.”  Các cuộc đàm phán thương mại có thể đã trở nên phức tạp hơn do mức thuế 20% đã không làm giảm đáng kể thặng dư thương mại của Việt Nam với Mỹ. Theo số liệu của chính phủ Việt Nam, xuất khẩu của Việt Nam sang Mỹ đã tăng từ 119,6 tỷ đôla năm 2024 lên 153,2 tỷ đôla năm ngoái, tăng 28%, đẩy thặng dư thương mại lên mức kỷ lục gần 134 tỷ đôla vào năm 2025, cao hơn đáng kể so với năm 2024. (1) Sebastian Strangio ghi nhận: “Chưa biết có dẫn đến bước đột phá nào trong thương mại với Mỹ hay không, chuyến công du lần này của ông Tô Lâm dường như phá vỡ một tiền lệ, đó là các lãnh đạo mới được bổ nhiệm của đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam thường đến thăm Trung Quốc trước bất kỳ cường quốc lớn nào khác. Ngoài chuyến đi ngắn tới Cam Bốt và Lào vào ngày 5-6 tháng 2, chuyến thăm ông Tô Lâm tại Mỹ sẽ là chuyến thăm đầu tiên tới một cường quốc lớn kể từ khi Đại hội Đảng lần thứ 14 bầu ông làm tổng bí thư thêm nhiệm kỳ 5 năm.  Thực tế này đã khiến một số nhà quan sát cho rằng nó có thể phản ánh một sự thay đổi tiềm tàng trong định hướng chiến lược của Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, xét đến tính nhất quán tương đối của chính sách đối ngoại Việt Nam trong hai thập kỷ qua, ta nên thận trọng, không diễn giải quá mức về thời điểm chuyến thăm của ông Tô Lâm sang Mỹ. Ngày diễn ra Hội nghị Thượng đỉnh Hội đồng Hòa bình là do Washington ấn định, chứ không phải do Hà Nội, và chuyến thăm của ông Tô Lâm cũng có thể xuất phát từ nhu cầu cấp thiết của Việt Nam đạt được một thỏa thuận thương mại với Hoa Kỳ, yếu tố cần thiết nếu đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam (CPV) muốn đạt được các mục tiêu kinh tế đầy tham vọng trong những năm tới.  Ngoài ra, ông Tô Lâm hầu như không cho thấy dấu hiệu nào muốn xa rời Trung Quốc mà thật ra đang làm ngược lại, như nhận xét của Sheena Chestnut Greitens của Đại học Texas, Austin trên mạng X: “Tô Lâm là động lực thúc đẩy tăng cường hợp tác về an ninh nội bộ giữa Việt Nam với Trung Quốc.”  Thực tế là, theo Sebastian Strangio, “do tính khí thất thường của ông Trump và chính quyền của ông, cùng với tình trạng không chắc chắn của các cuộc đàm phán thương mại, quan hệ với Hoa Kỳ hiện cần được “chăm sóc” về mặt ngoại giao nhiều hơn so với mối quan hệ Việt Nam - Trung Quốc, vốn vẫn ổn định nhờ vào các chuyến thăm song phương luân phiên hàng năm của các quan chức hai bên. Rất có thể ông Tô Lâm sẽ sớm có chuyến thăm đáp lễ tới Bắc Kinh. Lần cuối cùng ông đi thăm Trung Quốc là vào tháng 8/2024, chuyến công du nước ngoài đầu tiên sau khi nhậm chức tổng Bí thư. Ông Tập Cận Bình đã đáp lễ với chuyến thăm Việt Nam hồi tháng 4 năm ngoái.” “Ngoại giao cây tre giữa cơn bão Trump” Trên trang mạng Financial Review của Úc ngày 16/02, ông James Curran, giáo sư Lịch sử Hiện đại và nghiên cứu viên cao cấp tại Trung tâm Nghiên cứu Hoa Kỳ thuộc Đại học Sydney, ghi nhận về đối ngoại, chính sách “ngoại giao cây tre” của Việt Nam “vẫn còn khá yếu ớt giữa cơn bão Trump”.  Giáo sư Curran trích nhận xét của một nhà phân tích: Thuế quan “ngày giải phóng” là một “cú đánh mạnh”, gợi lại những ký ức đau buồn về việc Washington lôi kéo Hà Nội gia nhập TPP ( Hiệp định Đối tác xuyên Thái Bình Dương ), rồi Chú Sam lại rút lui vào phút cuối. Một số người ở Hà Nội đang rất tức giận, nói rằng “người Mỹ hành xử không phải như một nhà tư bản mà là đế quốc”. Hà Nội hiện đang nhắm đến thỏa thuận tương tự thỏa thuận mà thủ tướng Ấn Độ Narendra Modi đã nhận được, tức là mức thuế 18%. Nhưng một nguồn tin từ Việt Nam lo ngại không biết chính quyền Washington có nhận thức được hậu quả hay không. Nhân vật này lập luận rằng tâm lý chống Trung Quốc ở Việt Nam đôi khi bị thổi phồng quá mức và nói thêm rằng “mọi người đang nhìn về phía Trung Quốc và tự hỏi liệu đó có phải là lựa chọn tốt hơn hay không.”  Theo giáo sư Curran, nói chuyện riêng, các quan chức Mỹ nhấn mạnh thông điệp của họ gửi tới Hà Nội rất thẳng thắn: “Hãy cẩn thận khi chơi trò thân mật với Bắc Kinh quá mức”. Họ nghĩ rằng Hà Nội sẽ nhượng bộ Trung Quốc một số điều, chẳng hạn như qua việc hợp tác trong dự án đường sắt cao tốc, nhưng về các khoáng sản quan trọng, chất bán dẫn và các lĩnh vực khác có tầm quan trọng quốc gia cao, "Hà Nội muốn chúng ta."  Chính sách đối ngoại thực dụng Trong bài viết đăng trên trang mạng Geopolitical Monitor ngày 28/01/2026, giáo sư James Borton, Viện Chính sách đối ngoại SAIS - Đại học Johns Hopkins (Mỹ), trước hết nhận định:  “Ông Tô Lâm đã làm được điều mà ít nhà lãnh đạo Việt Nam nào làm được từ nhiều thập niên qua: thâu tóm vững chắc quyền lực của Đảng và Nhà nước vào tay mình. Tái đắc cử tổng bí thư và chuẩn bị đảm nhiệm chức chủ tịch nước, ông Tô Lâm hiện đang đứng đầu cơ cấu lãnh đạo tập trung nhất của Việt Nam kể từ thời hậu chiến, một sự tập trung có thể giúp điều chỉnh lại sự cân bằng mong manh giữa Hà Nội và Washington. Những tác động đối với quan hệ Mỹ - Việt Nam là rất sâu sắc.”  Theo ông Borton, Washington, đặc biệt là dưới chính quyền Trump nhiệm kỳ thứ hai, vốn công khai ủng hộ việc hợp tác với các nhà lãnh đạo quyền lực, dĩ nhiên là rất hoan nghênh thực tế mới này. Sự tập trung quyền lực của ông Tô Lâm không chỉ là về chính trị, mà còn gắn liền với một kế hoạch kinh tế đầy tham vọng. Hà Nội đã đặt ra mục tiêu tăng trưởng hàng năm từ 10% trở lên trong giai đoạn 2026-2030, bằng cách đẩy mạnh sản xuất công nghệ cao, chuyển đổi số và mở rộng khu vực tư nhân. Để đạt được mục tiêu này, Việt Nam phải đảm bảo nguồn vốn, công nghệ và tiếp cận thị trường từ nước ngoài, đặc biệt là từ Hoa Kỳ.  Giáo sư Borton viết tiếp: “Yêu cầu cấp thiết về kinh tế đó giải thích cho chính sách đối ngoại thực dụng của ông Tô Lâm. Bất chấp những tranh chấp thương mại định kỳ và những lo ngại dai dẳng của Hoa Kỳ về thặng dư mậu dịch, quản lý tiền tệ và rào cản tiếp cận thị trường của Việt Nam, ông Tô Lâm đã theo đuổi một chính sách dựa trên sự linh hoạt hơn là dựa trên ý thức hệ. Việc ông sốt sắng nhận lời mời của Hoa Kỳ tham gia “Hội đồng Hòa bình”, một hành động được coi là nhanh bất thường theo tiêu chuẩn ngoại giao thận trọng cố hữu của Hà Nội, cho thấy ông sẵn sàng hợp tác với Washington, kể cả dưới thời tổng thống Donald Trump. Thông điệp rất rõ ràng: Để hiện đại hóa kinh tế Việt Nam cần phải có một mối quan hệ ổn định với Hoa Kỳ.” Tuy nhiên, theo giáo sư James Borton, việc ông Tô Lâm củng cố quyền lực cũng khiến tình hình trở nên phức tạp. Việt Nam từ lâu vẫn cố giữ thế cân bằng thận trọng giữa Washington và Bắc Kinh. Một cấu trúc lãnh đạo tập trung hơn có thể làm cho chiến lược cân bằng đó được sắc bén, nhưng cũng có thể thu hẹp không gian cho các cuộc tranh luận nội bộ mà trước đây vẫn giúp điều tiết các biến động về chính sách.  Theo giáo sư Borton, ông Tô Lâm thừa hiểu Trung Quốc vẫn là đối tác thương mại lớn nhất của Việt Nam và là thế lực áp đảo về địa lý và chiến lược. Còn Hoa Kỳ là thị trường xuất khẩu lớn nhất của Việt Nam và là nguồn cung cấp công nghệ tiên tiến và đầu tư không thể thiếu. Sự thịnh vượng của Việt Nam phụ thuộc vào cả hai mối quan hệ này.  Ông Borton viết tiếp: “Với quyền lực tập trung ở cấp cao nhất, ông Tô Lâm có thể hành động quyết đoán hơn trong các cải cách mà các ban lãnh đạo dựa trên sự đồng thuận trước đây vẫn thi hành một cách thận trọng. Các cải cách có thể bao gồm việc điều chỉnh quy định sâu rộng hơn để thu hút đầu tư của Mỹ trong ngành bán dẫn và trí tuệ nhân tạo và mở rộng hợp tác năng lượng - bao gồm các hợp đồng khí đốt tự nhiên hóa lỏng dài hạn của Mỹ, giúp thu hẹp thâm hụt thương mại song phương. Những bước đi như vậy sẽ phù hợp với các ưu tiên kinh tế và chiến lược của Washington.” Nhưng giáo sư Borton lưu ý: “Học thuyết chính sách đối ngoại của Việt Nam vẫn dựa trên sự độc lập, tự lực và chủ nghĩa đa phương. Hà Nội sẽ cố không để mình trở thành đồng minh chính thức của Mỹ hay trở thành một quốc gia đứng tuyến đầu trong cuộc cạnh tranh giữa các cường quốc. Quyền lực của Tô Lâm có thể cho phép ông đàm phán một cách tự tin với Washington, nhưng sẽ không khiến ông lệ thuộc vào Mỹ.” Đối với Hoa Kỳ, theo giáo sư Borton, “thách thức sẽ là làm thế nào hợp tác với Việt Nam dưới sự lãnh đạo của Tô Lâm để hỗ trợ cải cách kinh tế mà không gây ra phản ứng mang tính dân tộc chủ nghĩa. Việc gây áp lực mạnh mẽ lên Hà Nội về mất cân bằng thương mại hoặc vấn đề tiền tệ có thể làm phức tạp chương trình cải cách của Tô Lâm và củng cố những tiếng nói bảo thủ hơn trong chế độ. Ngược lại, sự hợp tác mang tính xây dựng, đặc biệt là về chuyển giao công nghệ, năng lượng sạch, hợp tác an ninh hàng hải và giáo dục, có thể củng cố con đường đến tăng trưởng giá trị cao hơn và hội nhập toàn cầu sâu rộng hơn của Việt Nam.” ___ (1)Theo AFP ngày 23/02/2026, Cơ quan Hải quan và Biên phòng Mỹ (CBP) thông báo ngừng thu các khoản thuế quan được áp đặt theo Đạo luật Quyền lực Kinh tế Khẩn cấp Quốc tế (IEEPA) từ 0h01 sáng 24/2 theo giờ miền Đông nước Mỹ (12h01 giờ VN), tức hơn ba ngày sau khi Tòa án Tối cao Mỹ tuyên bố phần lớn các mức "thuế đối ứng" mà chính quyền Trump ban hành ngày 02/04/32025 là bất hợp pháp.

Stephen Clark recaps a big week in the headlines for the Space industry. Then, Steve and producer Jonathan Lowe provide the probing questions in the Read & React segment.

There's a lot of news this week around Space and space travel. Arc Technica writer Stephen Clark covers the latest on struggles for the Artemis program and Boeing's Starliner craft.

1.Jeff Bliss reports a deadly avalanche in Lake Tahoe claimed nine lives due to dry uncompacted snow, severe storms are causing heavy snowfall at Donner Pass and flooding the Los Angeles River, while Las Vegas faces declining foot traffic and Los Angeles battles rampant copper wire theft. 12.Jeff Bliss covers California's upcoming gubernatorial jungle primary with Democrat Eric Swalwell and Republican Steve Hilton as early frontrunners, Spencer Pratt challenging Mayor Karen Bass in Los Angeles, and Governor Gavin Newsom positioning himself for a 2028 presidential run on an anti-Trump platform. 23.Gene Marks reports that despite a disappointing fourth-quarter GDP growth rate of 1.4 percent and sluggishness in shipping and chemical sectors, small businesses remain surprisingly resilient with optimism above average and continued hiring plans even as AI integration remains limited. 34.Gene Marks discusses the Supreme Court ruling the administration's April 2025 emergency tariffs unconstitutional, leaving billions in collected funds in limbo, though the administration will likely utilize the Trade Acts of 1962 and 1974 to continue imposing targeted tariffs without congressional approval. 45.Jim McTague reports Lancaster County reflects the national 1.4 percent GDP slowdown with flat retail, consumer price fatigue, and plummeting restaurant traffic due to rising costs and weight-loss drugs, while Washington DC lobbying and local health and construction sectors remain strong. 56.Lorenzo Fiori reports the Milan Winter Olympics are proceeding successfully amidst beautiful snow with rumors of a Donald Trump visit for the hockey finals, while extreme weather has caused dangerous Alpine avalanches and the tragic collapse of the historic Lover's Arch on the Adriatic coast. 67.Bob Zimmerman of Behind the Black reports NASA successfully completed a wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis IImission targeting a March 6th launch, while a NASA report classified Boeing's Starliner failure as a severe Type A emergency prompting tighter control as SpaceX competition thrives. 78.Bob Zimmerman reports Japanese private space startup ispace is struggling with severe engine development problems for its lunar landers, while archival images from New Horizons reveal Pluto's bizarre splotched surface and floating ice mountains, and a newly discovered dim galaxy hints at dark matter's vastness. 89.Sir Max Hastings details the daring glider assault to capture the Orne River bridge, where Major John Howard'stroops achieved total surprise, securing a vital link for British airborne and seaborne forces on D-Day itself. 910.Sir Max Hastings discusses General Montgomery's expanded vision for D-Day and the initial chaos of the airborne landings, noting that despite the shambles at Merville battery, paratroopers' bravery confused German defenders and secured the mission's early vital stages. 1011.Sir Max Hastings highlights Major General Richard Gale's calm leadership during the chaotic airborne drops, with success relying on British deception plans and Rommel's absence preventing early German counterattacks against the beaches on D-Day. 1112.Sir Max Hastings describes specialized armored funnies that supported British landings on Sword Beach, noting that while technically successful, heavy traffic and Montgomery's overly ambitious objectives prevented the Allies from capturing Caen on D-Day. 1213.Henry Sokolski of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center critiques the inconsistency of threatening war against Iran over its nuclear program while simultaneously considering a deal to allow Saudi Arabia uranium enrichment capabilities under less stringent international oversight. 1314.Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center explains how bipartisan spending on entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare drives national debt, arguing that American consumers, not foreign nations, primarily bear the economic burden of tariffs. 1415.Professor Richard Epstein of the Hoover Institution analyzes constitutional limits of presidential authority to fire independent agency officials, discussing historical precedents like Humphrey's Executor and critiquing legal reasoning behind maintaining quasi-judicial independence within the executive branch. 1516.Professor Richard Epstein predicts the Supreme Court may strike down tariffs, arguing that trade deficits do not constitute legal emergencies, while also discussing the potential for the Court to preserve the Federal Reserve'sindependence from executive control. 16

On this week's episode of Mining the Media, we tackle the growing cultural and economic consequences of governance, policy, and worldview. We open with two major developments shaping the national conversation — the Kansas legislature overriding a gubernatorial veto to affirm biological reality in state law, and emerging investigative reporting from John Solomon suggesting potential international interference in the 2020 election. From there, we move into the central theme of the show: "Blue State Bleeding." Using the biblical principle of Galatians 6:7 — "Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" — we examine what happens when policies, regulation, and cultural direction begin producing measurable economic outcomes. We break down: Boeing relocating defense leadership back to St. Louis The Chicago Bears pursuing a stadium move from Illinois to Indiana Population migration trends across the country The ripple effects of corporate and institutional relocation Are these isolated headlines — or signs of a broader harvest? We close with a reminder that institutions, like individuals, eventually live under the consequences of the seeds they plant.

Editors are joined by Richard Aboulafia to discuss airliner production after Airbus shared its delivery targets for this year and Boeing updated its suppliers.

theion is developing lithium-sulfur battery technology targeting 500 watt hours per kilogram in their first commercial product—nearly double today's lithium-ion cells at 270-300 Wh/kg—with an ultimate roadmap to 1,000 Wh/kg. By replacing nickel-manganese-cobalt cathodes with crystalline sulfur and graphite anodes with lithium metal, theion aims to deliver three times the energy density at one-third the cost and CO2 footprint of current batteries. In this episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with Dr. Ulrich Ehmes, CEO of theion, to discuss how a production-focused CEO is navigating the journey from TRL 3-4 to pilot line, why they're targeting electric aviation first, and how a 12-year battery industry veteran evaluates what actually constitutes a materials breakthrough. Topics Discussed: Why sulfur cathodes and lithium metal anodes enable the performance jump beyond lithium-ion The critical importance of monoclinic gamma crystalline structure for cycle life  Navigating the transition from coin cells to pouch cells to industrialization  Strategic decision-making on initial market entry for deep tech hardware  Why process innovation in mixing and coating is required to unlock sulfur's full potential  Building a China-independent supply chain using oil refining waste  The 3-year development reality driven by cycling test requirements GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Price your technology against value creation, not cost savings alone: Ulrich's market strategy centers on "markets which will pay a lot of money for super lightweight batteries"—specifically aviation applications where weight reduction directly enables business model viability. For eVTOLs, the constraint isn't battery cost but energy density; current batteries make many routes economically impossible. This is fundamentally different from cost-driven markets like consumer EVs where incremental weight savings have marginal value. Deep tech founders should map which customer segments face hard physical constraints that only your technology solves versus those seeking incremental optimization. The former will pay 3-5x premiums; the latter will demand cost parity from day one. Match CEO background to the company's primary risk: Ulrich led Leica's 600-person Portugal production facility for a decade before entering batteries, and he frames his value as "I'm a production guy...for me it's very important not to produce only one battery cell in a lab, but millions of cells in highest quality." For a battery company at TRL 3-4 moving toward industrialization, the existential risk isn't the science—it's whether you can manufacture at quality and yield. Many deep tech companies fail because PhD founders remain CEOs through manufacturing scale-up. Ulrich's hire signals that theion's board correctly diagnosed their de-risking sequence. Founders should brutally assess what will kill the company in the next 24 months and ensure the CEO's pattern recognition matches that failure mode. Seek investors where your technology is infrastructure for their thesis: theion's primary investor is "heavily invested in eVTOLs," making theion's battery technology directly relevant to multiple portfolio companies facing the same energy density constraint. This creates structural alignment on timeline expectations—eVTOL companies won't reach commercial scale before 2027-2028 anyway, matching theion's development cycle. The investor understands that battery development "takes time because always when you change a parameter, you have to cycle again to test the cells." This is radically different from a generalist VC expecting SaaS-like iteration speeds. Hardware founders should explicitly map how their technology unblocks other portfolio companies and use this to negotiate patient capital terms and strategic customer introductions. Use competitive landscape size as legitimacy signal, not differentiation: When pressed on disrupting incumbents, Ulrich immediately countered: "We are not the only company working on sulfur and this is good...there are 28 other companies out there." He then differentiated on "monoclinic gamma crystalline structure" validated by Drexel University achieving 4,000+ cycles. This is sophisticated category positioning: the 28 competitors validate that lithium-sulfur is a credible next-generation technology, while the specific crystalline approach provides technical differentiation for those who understand the chemistry. Founders should resist the urge to claim they're the only ones solving a problem in nascent categories—it raises "why hasn't anyone else tried this?" concerns. Instead, position within an emerging category and differentiate on technical approach. Communicate realistic timelines as competence signaling, not weakness: Ulrich states plainly that commercial availability is "at least the next three years" and frames this as doing "first things first and first things right." For sophisticated buyers in aviation and aerospace, compressed timelines signal naivety about certification requirements, manufacturing validation, and qualification testing. A battery company claiming 12-month commercialization would lose credibility with Boeing or Joby Aviation procurement teams who understand the actual development cycles. Deep tech founders should recognize that customer segments accustomed to long development cycles (aerospace, automotive, medical devices) interpret realistic timelines as domain expertise, while consumer/software buyers may interpret them as lack of urgency. Match timeline communication to buyer sophistication. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Massivement adopté pendant et après la crise du Covid-19, le télétravail semblait s'être durablement installé dans l'organisation du travail. Mais depuis deux ans, les entreprises resserrent la vis, durcissent les règles et rappellent leurs salariés au bureau. Contexte économique, enjeux managériaux, immobilier : les raisons de ce grand rééquilibrage. Il faut remonter au printemps 2020 pour comprendre l'essor fulgurant du télétravail. La crise du Covid-19, les confinements successifs et la fermeture massive des bureaux contraignent les entreprises à improviser. En urgence, elles équipent leurs salariés, généralisent les outils numériques et basculent dans le tout à distance. Très vite, un constat s'impose. La productivité ne s'effondre pas. Au contraire, de nombreux salariés gagnent en confort de vie, en temps de transport et en flexibilité. Entre 2021 et 2023, le télétravail s'installe durablement dans le paysage professionnel, sous une forme hybride devenue la norme : deux jours à domicile, trois jours au bureau. Côté entreprises, les bénéfices semblent également évidents. Le télétravail devient un puissant levier d'attractivité et un argument clé pour recruter, notamment dans les secteurs de la tech, de la finance ou du conseil. Il permet aussi de réduire les coûts immobiliers et les dépenses énergétiques. À ce moment-là, tout plaide en faveur du télétravail, perçu comme une avancée sociale majeure. Le grand retour du bureau depuis 2024 Mais cet équilibre ne dure pas. Dès 2024, les lignes commencent à bouger. Aux États-Unis, le retour massif au présentiel s'impose rapidement. Amazon, Google, JPMorgan, Meta, Boeing ou encore UPS rappellent leurs salariés au bureau, parfois jusqu'à cinq jours par semaine. En France, la dynamique est plus progressive, mais elle est bel et bien enclenchée. De nombreuses entreprises durcissent leurs règles et réduisent le nombre de jours dits « télétravaillables ». Ce revirement s'explique en grande partie par la dégradation du contexte économique. La croissance ralentit, le chômage remonte légèrement et le marché du travail devient moins tendu. Le rapport de force se rééquilibre alors en faveur des employeurs. Quand recruter devient plus facile, les entreprises peuvent imposer davantage leurs conditions. À cela s'ajoute la question immobilière. Avant la crise sanitaire, de nombreux groupes avaient investi massivement dans des sièges sociaux flambant neufs, des tours de bureaux ou des campus ultramodernes. Laisser ces espaces largement vides représente un non-sens économique, tant en termes d'investissement que d'image. Un outil de management et de gestion des effectifs Au-delà des considérations économiques, le retour au bureau répond aussi à des enjeux managériaux. Le télétravail à grande échelle bouscule les méthodes traditionnelles de management, fragilise parfois la culture d'entreprise et complexifie la coordination des équipes, en raison de la distance et des échanges dématérialisés. Certains analystes estiment même que le retour contraint au présentiel peut devenir un outil indirect de gestion des effectifs. En durcissant les règles, certaines entreprises savent que des salariés feront le choix de partir d'eux-mêmes. Une manière de réduire la masse salariale sans plan social, ni coût financier ou politique immédiat. Pour autant, le télétravail fait désormais partie intégrante des attentes des salariés. Il s'est imposé comme un élément central du « contrat psychologique » entre l'entreprise et ses collaborateurs. C'est pourquoi la majorité des organisations ne le suppriment pas totalement, mais cherchent à le recalibrer. L'enjeu est désormais de trouver un nouvel équilibre, permettant de concilier performance économique, efficacité collective et qualité de vie au travail. Reportage FranceFrance: le télétravail va-t-il reculer?

En este episodio de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Valentina Orduz repasan un día cargado en mercados con un S&P 500 que sigue firme pese a las minutas de la Fed más pesimistas, resultados sólidos pero con señales de cautela en el consumo a través de Walmart, y un capítulo clave de geopolítica económica que se juega en los cielos con Airbus, Boeing, Pratt & Whitney y Vietnam en el centro del tablero. Primero, el bloque macro se centra en cómo el mercado digiere unas minutas en donde la Fed vuelve a poner la palabra “aumento” sobre la mesa, manteniendo la narrativa de “pausa prolongada” más que de giro agresivo, mientras los futuros siguen descontando recortes moderados. Luego pasamos al consumo con Walmart, un trimestre fuerte en ventas y negocios de mayor margen como publicidad y eCommerce, pero con una guia de utilidades más floja, que refleja un consumidor bifurcado y una gestión muy cuidadosa del riesgo de tarifas, márgenes y desaceleración.En el bloque de aviación y geopolítica, el episodio explora cómo Airbus sufre cuellos de botella por motores Pratt & Whitney justo cuando Boeing empieza a recuperar momentum comercial, apoyado por un mega pedido de aerolíneas vietnamitas que es tanto un contrato de aviones como una carta de negociación frente a Washington.

Poltronas de couro, talheres de prata e o horizonte a dez mil metros de altitude. O Boeing 727 de Jeffrey Epstein, apelidado pela imprensa de "Lolita Express", era muito mais que um símbolo de riqueza extrema; era, segundo investigações e relatos de sobreviventes, uma zona de exclusão jurídica onde a dignidade humana era negociada sob o véu do sigilo absoluto. Neste vídeo, conheça a operação por trás da frota de aeronaves de Epstein, com foco no Boeing totalmente remodelado para o uso privado. Exploramos como este avião funcionava como uma "antessala" para abusos, transportando vítimas e personalidades influentes entre mansões em Nova York, Paris e a ilha particular Little St. James.

Today's show is a compilation of the hottest stories of the week. There are several shocking happenings that include these:Sources say the President is prepared to launch an attack on Iran. And it may happen this weekend!11 skiers disappear in massive snow in the woods outside of Lake Tahoe. Twelve confirmed dead with one missing.More factual information confirms -- with NO questions -- NGO's ARE spending millions of dollars to fund these anti-ICE protests. The most-mentioned of these is George Soros's 'Open Society' NGO;Boeing announces it's moving a major section of its operations from Virginia back to St. Louis. No doubt, this was based on Virginia's new governor's policies.

Updates on the DCA midair collision, JetBlue software glitch, Air India B787 fuel control switch, injuries on United B777 flight, and Toronto CRJ-900 rollover. Also, the AA CEO’s message to employees, DOT mandate to purge DEI, Portland International Jetport passenger volume, Elliott Management and Southwest, and flight attendant carry-on bags. Plus, our first report from the Singapore Airshow. Guest Air Accident Updates We look at some air accident and incident updates in the press: NTSB Chair Slams FAA for Ignoring Repeated Warnings, Says Midair Collision Was Preventable In this C-Span video, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy slams the FAA, saying that it let its guard down and ignored repeated warnings that ultimately led to the deadly midair collision near Washington Reagan National Airport on January 29, 2025, that killed 67 people. “We should be angry, because for years no one listened. This was preventable. This was 100 percent preventable,” Homendy says. Passengers on JetBlue Plane That Plummeted When Flight Computer “Glitched Out” Sue Airbus for Negligence The JetBlue A320 experienced a sudden “uncommanded loss of altitude,” initially attributed to a software glitch that Airbus believed could result from intense solar radiation. This led to an emergency worldwide recall in November 2025, with an estimated 6,000 A320-series aircraft affected. Three passengers on that flight are now suing Airbus for allowing an “unreasonably dangerous” glitch in the system to go unchecked. Those passengers question the solar flare explanation and claim that JetBlue was aware of a recurring issue with the Elevator and Aileron Computer (ELAC) system. No defect found in switch of jet grounded by Air India – regulator Pilots on an Air India B787-8 noticed that during engine start, the fuel control switch did not “remain positively latched in the run position when light vertical pressure was applied”. This happened twice. The third time, the switch operated normally. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that when the switches were operated according to Boeing’s recommended procedure, they were found to be “satisfactory”, staying at run instead of moving to cut-off. The DGCA reported that, when incorrectly handled, the switch would “move easily from run to cut-off”.

Three United Airlines Flight Attendants Seriously Injured After Air Traffic Control Failed To Alert Pilots Of Turbulence The NTSB has released its final report on the February 10, 2024, incident where a United Airlines 777-200 experienced a sudden drop, seriously injuring three flight attendants and throwing several passengers and an unsecured baby into the ceiling. The NTSB concluded that a contributing factor was air traffic controllers’ failure to alert the pilots of turbulence in the area. TSB Canada Releases Update on 2025 Toronto CRJ-900 Crash Investigation Photo Credit: TSB Canada. The accident occurred at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) on February 17, 2025, when the CRJ-900 regional jet attempted to land and struck the runway hard, causing the right wing and tail section to separate from the fuselage. The plane flipped upside down and slid to a stop. The wreckage was transported to a hangar while the right wing, landing gear, wing box structure, and related parts were taken to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) Engineering Laboratory in Ottawa for testing. The metallurgical analysis of the wing and landing-gear fractures is now being examined. Recordings from the flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, quick access recorder (QAR), and the enhanced ground proximity warning system have been examined. Data from prior flights on the same aircraft were also compared to the accident flight for context. Evidence was collected from NAV CANADA's Toronto surface movement guidance system and the airport's closed-circuit television footage. A full meteorological review, including wind data and soundings, has also been finalized to understand weather conditions at the time. Simulator sessions have been run. The full preliminary report is available here. Aviation News Under Pressure American Airlines CEO Robert Isom Tells Staff That Everything Will Be Alright In New Video Message In a new video message to staffers, American Airlines chief executive Robert Isom says, “As we look forward to 2026, it's with a lot of excitement and confidence. I know we're going to do better financially and operationally. We have a plan to be solidly profitable this year, which will mean good things for our customers, our shareholders, and all of you.” Isom articulated strategies concerning the customer experience, hub facility investments, maximizing the power of the AA network and fleet, new routes, new frontline team members, new aircraft, AAdvantage program changes, and doing a better job selling the AA product. Trump's U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Doubles Down on Purging DEI From Our Skies, Calls on Airlines to Affirm Pilot Hiring is Merit-Based The FAA is issuing a new mandatory “Operations Specification” (OpSpec) requiring all commercial airlines to commit to merit-based hiring for pilots formally. The mandate (New Mandatory OpSpec A134, Merit-Based Pilot Hiring, for Certificate Holders Conducting Operations Under 14 CFR Part 121 [PDF]) is effective February 13, 2026. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said, “When families board their aircraft, they should fly with confidence knowing the pilot behind the controls is the best of the best. The American people don't care what their pilot looks like or their gender—they just care that they are most qualified man or woman for the job. Safety drives everything we do, and this commonsense measure will increase transparency between passengers and airlines.”  ALPA Statement on Pilot Training and Qualification Standards Capt. Jason Ambrosi, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), issued a statement that included: “All ALPA pilots are trained and evaluated to the same uncompromising standard regardless of race, gender, or background. A pilot’s identity has no bearing on their ability to safely operate an aircraft. What matters is training, experience, and qualification — and on that front, there are no shortcuts and no compromises. “At ALPA, our work to advance aviation safety never stops, and as always, ALPA airline pilots remain ready to safely transport passengers and cargo to their destinations. Safety is, and always will be, our number one priority.” Portland International Jetport logs busiest year in its history The Portland International Jetport had a record year in 2025, with more than 2.59 million passengers traveling through the airport. The previous record was 2.44 million in 2024. The Jetport says it became the first airport in New England to surpass its pre-pandemic passenger levels in 2023. Southwest Airlines Turns a Corner as Activist Investor Elliott Walks Away Elliott Management, an activist investor, began to acquire shares of Southwest stock in mid-2024. It bought enough shares to gain board representation and dictate the Airline's strategic and financial changes. As a result, we saw paid assigned seating, baggage fees, expiring travel credits, and adjustments to its Rapid Rewards program. Southwest also looked at asset sales and balance sheet strategies to fund share buybacks. But in late 2025, Elliott began reducing its stake, and by early February 2026, its ownership dropped to about 9 percent. Two Elliott representatives have resigned from the board at Southwest. Southwest Airlines Now Faces a Flight Attendant Backlash As Hand Luggage Woes Grow Southwest moved a dedicated overhead bin for crew members to the back of the plane, and flight attendants are not happy. Passengers sitting at the front of the plane who have paid more or have elite status find that bin space is an issue.

Another one of Seattle’s iconic movie theaters has been sold. This time, the Boeing IMAX theater. The theater’s six story tall and 80 foot wide screen has endeared itself to local movie goers since it opened nearly 30 years ago. Pacific Science Center sent out an email last week confirming they are selling the Boeing Imax, and a parcel of land equaling nearly a quarter of its footprint at Seattle Center. The buyer is a familiar neighbor: The Space Needle. And Space Needle leaders said, through a statement, they intend to keep operating the theater.

The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell expose revealing unprecedented chaos at the Department of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem and her senior advisor Cory Lewandowski. Multiple sources within DHS describe an agency consumed by personal ambition, alleged romantic entanglements, and petty power struggles that have compromised national security operations. Kristi Noem and Cory Lewandowski face allegations of conducting an extramarital affair while running DHS like a reality television production. The pair reportedly use a $70 million luxury Boeing 737 Max jet with a private bedroom for travel across the country while demanding ICE agents film arrests on personal cell phones for social media content. Noem fired a Coast Guard pilot over a missing blanket, tracks television appearances obsessively to ensure she gets more airtime than Tom Homan, and refers to internal DHS meetings as cabinet meetings despite holding no such authority.Lewandowski operates as a special government employee with a 130-day annual limit but has exceeded this timeframe by avoiding badge swipes at DHS headquarters. He unsuccessfully demanded law enforcement credentials and a federally issued firearm, leading to the firing or demotion of officials who refused his requests. The former South Dakota governor and Trump campaign manager have fired 80% of career ICE field leadership, creating institutional knowledge gaps that contributed to operational failures.

Send me a text message:A cargo jet that doesn't dogfight, doesn't sneak, and rarely breaks the speed of sound reshaped modern power by doing one thing better than anyone else: showing up with the right cargo, at the right place, right on time. We dig into the C‑17 Globemaster's improbable rise from near‑cancellation to cornerstone of air mobility, and why professionals talk logistics when the stakes are highest.We take you from the Cold War gap that demanded a new kind of airlifter to the audacious requirements that forced a revolution in design. Externally blown flaps, a full HUD, and a protective fly‑by‑wire system let a 585,000‑pound jet land on 3,500‑foot strips and turn quickly with minimal support. Inside, the cargo bay becomes a shape‑shifter—moving an M1 Abrams, 18 pallets, or over a hundred paratroopers with minutes of reconfiguration—collapsing the distance between plan and presence. Along the way, we unpack how Boeing's merger stabilized production, turning early turbulence into a platform nine nations rely on.From Iraq and Afghanistan to the 2004 tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the C‑17 proved that logistics is strategy. We revisit REACH 871's extraordinary Kabul evacuation of 823 civilians, a moment that showed both the aircraft's capacity and the crew's courage. Then we go low and quiet with CDS airdrops and special operations missions, and far and cold to blue ice runways in Antarctica. Viewer stories round it out with firsthand details: green‑lit cabins, short‑field landings that feel like magic, and the odd wrong‑airport arrival that still ends safely. With service projected to 2075, the Moose continues to blend strategic reach with tactical nerve.If this story moved you, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who loves aviation, and leave a review with your biggest C‑17 question or memory.
