Podcast appearances and mentions of Brad Cooper

Ice baths. Electrolyte drinks. Infrared saunas. Recovery boots. The wellness industry has never been louder — or more expensive. But which of these tools actually move the needle, and which are just well-marketed noise?In this episode of The Coaching Lab, we cut through the hype and get honest about recovery. Dr. Brad Cooper explores the science behind today's most talked-about wellness practices — from hydration and electrolytes to sauna use, cold-water immersion, and the growing world of recovery technology.What you'll walk away with:The truth about electrolytes (and when you probably don't need them)Why frequent sauna use has some of the most compelling cardiovascular data in the wellness spaceThe surprising caveat about cold plunges and muscle-buildingLow-cost recovery strategies that routinely outperform expensive gadgetsA rapid-fire verdict on the biggest trends: overhyped, appropriately hyped, or underappreciated?Recovery isn't a luxury — but it doesn't have to be complicated or costly. This episode helps you separate signal from noise so you can invest your time, energy, and money where it actually counts.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.YouTube Coaching Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachingChannelContact us: Results@CatalystCoaching360.comTwitter: @Catalyst2ThriveWebsite: CatalystCoaching360.comIf you are a current or future health & wellness coach, please check out our Health & Wellness Coaching Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278207545599218.  This is a wonderful group if you are looking for encouragement, ideas, resources and more. 

VOV1 - Tư lệnh Bộ Chỉ huy Trung tâm Mỹ (CENTCOM), Brad Cooper cho biết, chiến dịch quân sự của Mỹ nhằm vào Iran đã làm suy yếu nghiêm trọng khả năng của Tehran trong việc tổ chức hoặc hỗ trợ các cuộc tấn công quy mô lớn nhằm vào đồng minh Israel.Phát biểu tại phiên điều trần trước Ủy ban Quân vụ Hạ viện Mỹ ngày 20/5, Tư lệnh Bộ chỉ huy Trung tâm Mỹ Đô đốc Brad Cooper cho biết, chiến dịch “Cuồng nộ” cùng các đợt không kích trước đó nhằm vào hạ tầng hạt nhân và quân sự của Iran đã đẩy lùi đáng kể năng lực chiến tranh của Tehran. Theo ông Cooper, các chiến dịch quân sự của Mỹ đã làm gián đoạn mạng lưới cung cấp vũ khí kéo dài nhiều thập niên của Iran cho các lực lượng đồng minh trong khu vực như Hamas, Hezbollah và lực lượng Houthi tại Yemen.Tư lệnh CENTCOM nhận định điều này đã làm giảm đáng kể nguy cơ xảy ra thêm một cuộc tấn công tương tự vụ Hamas tiến hành nhằm vào Israel ngày 7/10/2023. Đô đốc Cooper cho biết, khoảng 85% năng lực sản xuất tên lửa đạn đạo và máy bay không người lái của Iran đã bị phá hủy. Ông nói, chiến dịch của Mỹ đã đánh trúng “ba trụ cột đe dọa và cưỡng ép” của Tehran, gồm chương trình hạt nhân, hệ thống tên lửa và máy bay không người lái, cùng mạng lưới các lực lượng ủy nhiệm trong khu vực.Theo bản điều trần bằng văn bản, quân đội Mỹ đã thực hiện hơn 10.200 phi vụ và khoảng 13.500 cuộc tấn công nhằm vào các mục tiêu liên quan tới năng lực triển khai ảnh hưởng quân sự của Iran. Trong số đó, hơn 1.450 cuộc tấn công nhằm trực tiếp vào các cơ sở sản xuất vũ khí, khiến năng lực chế tạo và tích trữ tên lửa cùng máy bay không người lái tầm xa của Tehran bị đẩy lùi nhiều năm.Tuy nhiên, phát biểu tại phiên điều trần, nghị sĩ Dân chủ Adam Smith cho rằng, bất chấp những thiệt hại quân sự, cuộc chiến hiện vẫn là “một thảm họa chiến lược”. Ông Adam Smith nhận định, chính quyền Iran vẫn chưa sụp đổ và thậm chí đang trở nên cứng rắn hơn kể từ khi chiến tranh bắt đầu. Nghị sĩ này cũng cảnh báo về các tác động kinh tế toàn cầu, đặc biệt là nguy cơ gián đoạn nguồn cung năng lượng do Iran phong tỏa eo biển Hormuz.Quang Trung/VOV-WashingtonCác tòa nhà bị phá hủy sau cuộc không kích tại Tehran, Iran, ngày 13/6/2025 (Ảnh: THX/TTXVN)

The morning crew was too polite to spell it out, so Matt did it after the close. Tuesday, May 19, 2026 — WTI settled $104.23 (+3%), Brent ~$111 (+~5%), and the Trump administration publicly admitted it called off an Iran bombing campaign yesterday. CENTCOM's Adm. Brad Cooper says he's ready to "execute a broad range of contingencies." Stocks got smoked, metals cratered, cattle bled on the board — and cash cattle didn't blink at $262.72 live / $411.56 dressed. This is not a watch-and-wait day. The whole macro picture is repricing around an Iran war about to escalate again, and your diesel bill, your fertilizer bill, and your feeder calf math just got rewritten between Friday's close and right now.

In this episode, Brad Cooper — second-generation HVAC technician, educator at Arkansas State University-Beebe (ASUBB), and CMHE-certified professional with HVAC Excellence — breaks down geothermal systems for everyday HVAC technicians. Brad brings a grounded, no-hype perspective to a technology that has long intimidated many in the trade. His central message is simple: if you already understand heat pumps and air conditioning, you already have most of the knowledge you need to service geothermal units. The only real difference, as Brad explains, is swapping air for water, a fan for a pump, and a condenser for two heat exchangers. Brad opens with a compelling real-world story: a customer with two malfunctioning geothermal units called a company for help, but because the technicians were unfamiliar with geothermal systems, they replaced both units with air-to-air equipment — costing the customer $25,000 and stripping them of the significant efficiency benefits geothermal provides. This kind of outcome is exactly what Brad wants to prevent. He urges technicians not to shy away from geothermal work the way past generations were told to avoid flex duct or mobile homes, but instead to approach these systems with the same confidence and diagnostic mindset they bring to any HVAC call. A major portion of the episode is devoted to practical diagnostics — specifically, how to use a pressure probe and a temperature probe on the water side to calculate GPM flow, BTU output, and system efficiency using a straightforward chart. Brad walks listeners through the math: a gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds, multiplied by flow rate and delta T, gives you a reliable BTU reading — all without expensive equipment. He also covers the flush cart, the one specialized tool you'll eventually need for water-side work, and explains that most geothermal calls don't require it at all — the majority of failures are standard heat pump issues like bad capacitors, clogged drain lines, or faulty thermostats. Brad closes with an encouraging, community-minded message: you don't need to go it alone. He encourages technicians to build a network of mentors — someone like a "Paul and a Barnabas" — who can guide them through unfamiliar territory in the field. He also highlights key industry resources, including IGSHPA (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association) for training and certification, GeoFlow for parts and materials, and his brother's company, EDGE Geo Supply, for tools and field training. Brad himself offers his personal phone number and email for anyone with questions, reinforcing that the geothermal community is accessible and willing to help. Topics Covered •       Brad's background as a second-generation HVAC tech and his role at ASUBB and HVAC School •       Why geothermal systems intimidate technicians — and why they shouldn't •       The core analogy: air-to-air vs. geothermal (air → water, fan → pump, condenser → two heat exchangers) •       A $25,000 cautionary tale: replacing working geo units out of fear and unfamiliarity •       Geothermal efficiency: constant EER ratings vs. seasonal SEER ratings and why seasons don't affect geo performance •       BTU fundamentals: what a BTU is and how to calculate BTU output on the water side •       Tonnage review: 1 ton = 12,000 BTUs per hour, melting a ton of ice in 24 hours •       Water weight and flow math: 8.34 lbs/gallon, calculating GPM and BTUs with delta T •       Using a two-probe setup (pressure + temperature) and a field chart to diagnose water-side performance •       The flush cart: what it is, when you need it, and why most jobs won't require it •       Common heat pump-side failures in geo units: capacitors, low-pressure switches, evaporator coils, bad thermostats •       Common water-side failures: bad pump, low water, dirty water, frozen loop field •       How antifreeze/glycol affects heating load and BTU output — and when to add it •       Responding to frozen loop fields during extreme cold events (ice storms in Arkansas and Texas) •       Humidity control advantages of geothermal in high-humidity climates vs. high-efficiency air-to-air units •       Selecting the right system: geo isn't for every home or every situation •       Open-loop options: pulling water from lakes or rivers and utility company incentives •       Closed-loop installation considerations: drilling costs, lot size, and buried line depths •       Building a mentor network for field support (the "Paul and Barnabas" principle) •       Industry resources: IGSHPA for training and certification, GeoFlow, and Edge Geo Supply   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta terça-feira (05): O empresário Leonardo Berganholi, de 50 anos, morreu após não resistir aos ferimentos causados pela queda de um avião monomotor que atingiu um prédio residencial em Belo Horizonte. O acidente também deixou outras vítimas: o piloto Wellington Oliveira e Fernando Moreira Souto morreram no local. Já Arthur Schaper Berganholi, filho do empresário, e Hemerson Cleiton Almeida Souto foram socorridos em estado grave e encaminhados ao Hospital João XXIII. A equipe econômica anunciou mudanças nas regras dos empréstimos consignados para servidores públicos, aposentados e pensionistas. A principal alteração é a redução da margem de consignação de 45% para 40% da renda mensal. Segundo o governo, o limite continuará diminuindo gradualmente, com queda de dois pontos percentuais por ano, até atingir 30% em cinco anos, com o objetivo de reduzir o nível de endividamento da população. A Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária autorizou a fabricação no Brasil da vacina contra chikungunya desenvolvida pelo Instituto Butantan em parceria com a farmacêutica Valneva. Com a decisão, o imunizante XCHIQ passa a ser produzido no país e poderá ser incorporado ao Sistema Único de Saúde. A vacina já havia sido aprovada em 2025, mas agora o Butantan é oficializado como local de produção, ampliando a capacidade nacional e mantendo os padrões de qualidade, segurança e eficácia. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sancionou com vetos a lei que endurece as penas para crimes como furto, roubo, estelionato, receptação e roubo seguido de morte. A norma também amplia punições para crimes virtuais, incluindo golpes pela internet, fraudes bancárias e furtos de celulares. Apesar do avanço, o presidente vetou o trecho que aumentava a pena de roubo com violência e lesão grave para até 24 anos, mantendo ajustes na legislação penal. O Ministério da Defesa da Rússia anunciou que o país realizará um cessar-fogo unilateral com a Ucrânia a partir desta quarta-feira (06). A decisão, determinada pelo presidente Vladimir Putin, foi divulgada por meio de aplicativo oficial e representa uma pausa temporária nos combates, em meio ao conflito que segue em curso na região. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva deve se reunir com o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, nesta quinta-feira (07), na Casa Branca, em Washington. O encontro está previsto para a manhã, seguido de um almoço oficial, e ocorre em meio a uma crise diplomática entre os dois países envolvendo a prisão e soltura do ex-deputado Alexandre Ramagem em território americano. O deputado estadual Thiago Rangel (Avante) foi preso nesta terça-feira (05) durante a 4ª fase da Operação Unha e Carne, deflagrada pela Polícia Federal. A ação investiga fraudes em contratos de compra de materiais e serviços, incluindo obras na Secretaria Estadual de Educação do Rio de Janeiro. Ao todo, foram expedidos 7 mandados de prisão preventiva e 23 de busca e apreensão em diferentes cidades do estado. Segundo a PF, as apurações indicam direcionamento de contratações para empresas ligadas ao esquema, com base em investigações iniciadas em fases anteriores da operação. O almirante Brad Cooper, chefe do Comando Central dos Estados Unidos, afirmou que helicópteros militares americanos afundaram seis embarcações iranianas que teriam como alvo navios civis no Estreito de Ormuz. Segundo ele, forças iranianas lançaram mísseis, drones e ataques com pequenas embarcações, mas todas as ameaças foram neutralizadas. Os EUA também afirmam ter aberto um corredor seguro na região, livre de minas, para garantir a passagem de navios comerciais, em meio a tensões que colocam à prova o cessar-fogo entre os países.

VOV1 - Không ngoài lo ngại của giới phân tích, căng thẳng đã leo thang trở lại tại khu vực vùng Vịnh trong ngày đầu hải quân Mỹ triển khai chiến dịch giải cứu các tàu bị mắc kẹt ở eo Hormuz. Theo báo cáo mới nhất, chỉ trong ngày hôm 4/5, Iran đã tiến hành 4 đợt tấn công tên lửa và máy bay không người lái vào UAE, bước leo thang chưa từng có kể từ khi lệnh ngừng bắn Mỹ - Iran có hiệu lực ngày 8/4.Thông báo đêm qua của Bộ Quốc phòng UAE cho biết, trong ngày 4/5, hệ thống phòng không UAE đã đánh chặn tổng cộng 12 tên lửa đạn đạo, 3 tên lửa hành trình và 4 máy bay không người lái xuất phát từ lãnh thổ Iran. Đây là lần đầu tiên kể từ khi lệnh ngừng bắn Mỹ-Iran có hiệu lực hôm 8/4, Iran phóng tên lửa và máy bay không người lái về phía UAE. Các cuộc tấn công khiến 3 công dân Ấn Độ bị thương và gây ra một vụ cháy lớn tại cảng dầu mỏ Fujairah. Bộ Giáo dục UAE chiều qua thông báo toàn bộ các trường học ở nước này chuyển sang hình thức dạy trực tuyến bắt đầu từ hôm nay đến hết ngày 8/5.   Truyền hình Nhà nước Iran tối qua khẳng định nước này không có kế hoạch tấn công UAE, bao gồm cảng dầu mỏ Fujairah. Nguồn tin nhấn mạnh những gì xảy ra tại cảng Fujairah là hậu quả của việc quân đội Mỹ phớt lờ cảnh báo của Iran và cố tìm cách mở lối đi cho các tàu vượt qua eo biển Hormuz một cách bất hợp pháp. Trước đó, hãng thông tấn Tasnim có quan hệ mật thiết với Vệ binh Cách mạng Hồi giáo Iran (IRGC) cảnh báo rằng UAE không nên trở thành “đồ chơi của Israel”. Theo nguồn tin, Iran sẽ đối xử với UAE như một phần của Israel, nếu Abu Dhabi tiến hành “hành động thiếu khôn ngoan”.Cùng ngày, một quan chức an ninh cấp cao Iran cũng cảnh báo các tàu của Mỹ sẽ trở thành mục tiêu tấn công, nếu chúng cố tình tiến vào eo biển Hormuz.Về phía lực lượng Mỹ, Tư lệnh Bộ Chỉ huy Trung tâm Mỹ đặc trách khu vực Trung Đông (CENTCOM), Đô đốc Brad Cooper tối qua cho biết: trong quá trình triển khai chiến dịch giải phóng tàu thuyền đi qua eo Hormuz, hải quân Mỹ đã phá hủy 6 chiếc xuồng nhỏ của Iran, đồng thời đánh chặn các tên lửa hành trình và máy bay không người lái của Tehran. Tuy nhiên, thông tin này đã bị truyền thông và quân đội Iran bác bỏ.Trước đó, CENTCOM thông báo có 2 tàu khu trục mang tên lửa của Mỹ đã di chuyển qua eo Hormuz vào vịnh Ba Tư, đồng thời 2 tàu thương mại mang cờ Mỹ đã rời vịnh Ba Tư ra bên ngoài một cách an toàn. CENTCOM cùng ngày cũng khẳng định đã ngăn chặn và điều hướng con tàu thứ 50 liên quan Iran định tìm cách vượt qua phong tỏa của hải quân Mỹ trong khu vực.  Trong một diễn biến đáng chú ý liên quan, quân đội Israel tối qua thông báo các lực lượng vũ trang nước này đang được đặt trong tình trạng báo động cao với khả năng chiến tranh Iran bùng phát trở lại, do căng thẳng leo thang giữa Washington và Tehran tại eo Hormuz. Trước đó, một số quan chức an ninh Israel nhận định xung đột có thể tái phát đầu tuần này, trong bối cảnh đàm phán Mỹ-Iran vẫn bế tắc và đối mặt nguy cơ đổ vỡ.Israel đã cùng Mỹ phát động cuộc chiến vào Iran từ ngày 28/2, viện lý do loại bỏ mối đe dọa hạt nhân và tên lửa từ Tehran.Bá Thi/VOV- CairoTải vềPlayMuteRemaining Time -2:11UAE cho biết hệ thống phòng không đã đánh chặn tên lửa và máy bay không người lái khi các chuyến bay bị chuyển hướng (ảnh: Reuters)

Most people think mindfulness means downloading an app or sitting quietly for ten minutes. Serena Jain is here to respectfully challenge that assumption — and to show coaches and high performers what's actually possible when mindfulness is practiced with intention and depth.In this episode of The Coaching Lab, host Dr. Brad Cooper sits down with mindfulness teacher and MBSR practitioner Serena Jain for a conversation that is equal parts science, application, and experience. Serena unpacks what Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction actually is, how it differs from general meditation practice, and why it's become one of the most evidence-backed tools available for addressing chronic stress, improving self-awareness, and creating lasting behavioral change.For health coaches, this one goes beyond theory. Serena walks through how mindfulness can deepen the coaching process, practical ways to incorporate it into sessions while staying within scope of practice, and what to say to clients who are convinced they're simply "bad at meditation." And in a rare moment for a podcast episode, she guides listeners through a live mindfulness practice — so you don't just hear about it, you experience it.Whether you're a seasoned coach looking to add a powerful tool to your practice, someone considering the coaching profession, or a high performer navigating a relentlessly demanding life, this conversation offers both the why and the how.Topics covered: mindfulness-based stress reduction, MBSR, mindfulness for coaches, health coaching tools, stress management, chronic stress, mindfulness vs meditation, mindfulness in coaching practice, coach self-awareness, mindfulness for high performers, mindfulness for beginners, Serena Jain, how to start mindfulness practice, mindfulness exercise, coaching techniques, wellness coaching, performance coaching, mindfulness research, scope of practice, The Coaching Lab podcast, Catalyst Coaching 360Serena's Website: https://serenajain.com/Link to Serena's guided meditations: https://serenajain.com/mindfulness-programs/guided-audio-meditations/.  This guided audio can also be accessed on SoundCloud, which can be downloaded as an app onto a smartphone: https://soundcloud.com/user-869280929. Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.YouTube Coaching Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachingChannelContact us: Results@CatalystCoaching360.comTwitter: @Catalyst2ThriveWebsite: CatalystCoaching360.comIf you are a current or future health & wellness coach, please check out our Health & Wellness Coaching Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278207545599218.  This is a wonderful group if you are looking for encouragement, ideas, resources and more. 

What happens when leaders stop guessing about culture and start listening to what their teams are actually experiencing? In this episode of Called to Flourish, Brad Cooper, Lead Pastor of Culture and Direction at NewSpring Church, shares how honest feedback and engagement surveys helped their leadership team face cultural blind spots, respond to a season of challenge, and build deeper trust across staff. Instead of relying on assumptions, they used data to clarify reality and strengthen alignment across the organization. This conversation offers practical insight for pastors and ministry leaders who want to build healthier teams through transparency, shared ownership, and intentional listening. You'll gain insight into: • Why facing the truth about culture is essential for building trust • How engagement surveys help leaders see what they might otherwise miss • What team-based leadership looks like in a healthy church culture • How consistent listening strengthens staff alignment over time

For review:1. The US Central Command confirms that CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper visited Israel this week and met with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.2. The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush deployed Tuesday and is slated to go to the Middle East along with three destroyers, two U.S. officials said. The carrier strike group consists of more than 6,000 Sailors.3. US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Iran does not have to agree to a deal to end the ongoing US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic, as he stated that the United States will probably wrap up the war in two or three weeks.4. China and Pakistan presented on Tuesday a new initiative for ending the war in Iran that includes an immediate ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.5. Gulf allies of the United States, led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are urging US President Donald Trump to continue prosecuting the war against Iran, arguing that Tehran hasn't been weakened enough by the monthlong US-Israeli bombing campaign, according to US, Gulf, and Israeli officials.6. The day after Spain announced it was closing off its airspace to US planes involved in the Iran war, senior US officials seemingly called into question a fundamental pillar of the NATO alliance: collective defense.7.

Iran has been laying traps and moving additional military personnel and air defenses to Kharg Island in recent weeks in preparation for a possible US operation to take control of the island, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue.4. Iranian officials on Wednesday gave a cold reception to the current US proposal to reach a ceasefire, as the White House warned Tehran it would be hit harder than before if it did not accept the offer to end the conflict.5. Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem purportedly said Wednesday that negotiating with Israel under fire would amount to “surrender” for Lebanon, and urged the government to reverse its ban on the party's military activities.Mr. Qassem called on the Lebanese people to embrace “national unity,” saying this could be achieved by the government reversing its decision to ban Hezbollah's military activities.6. Lebanon's foreign ministry said Tuesday it had withdrawn the accreditation of Iran's ambassador, giving him until Sunday to leave the country.7.

President Donald Trump says Saturday that he'll send Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to secure airports if Democrats don't sign onto an agreement with Republicans to fund the Department of Homeland Security, as the partial government shutdown has left thousands of Transportation Security Administration officers working without pay since Feb. 14.The United States says it has bombed an Iranian facility along the country's coastline. Adm. Brad Cooper of U.S. Central Command says the facility was being used to discreetly store anti-ship cruise missiles and other equipment that posed a risk to international shipping.Former FBI Director Robert Mueller passed away Friday night at the age of 81. Mueller led the probe into Trump's 2016 campaign, ultimately finding no evidence of coordination with Russia. He was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee last year regarding the FBI's 2007 Epstein investigation. The subpoena was withdrawn following news of Mueller's diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

The media warns the war with Iran is “spreading,” but the reality may be the opposite. Middle Eastern nations are lining up alongside the United States and Israel after Iranian attacks across the region. In this episode, Tara breaks down the surprising geopolitical shift: Gulf states offering bases, military coordination, and strategic support while some European allies hesitate. Plus, a deeper look at how the conflict is reshaping global alliances—and why past policies under Barack Obama may have helped Iran develop the missile capabilities now being destroyed by Donald Trump's strategy. Episode Summary: Media headlines claim the conflict with Iran is expanding across the Middle East—but Tara explains why the reality may actually strengthen America's position. As Iran lashes out militarily, several Gulf nations—including United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait—are quietly aligning with the United States and Israel. According to U.S. officials, Iran's attacks on multiple countries have pushed regional powers closer together, accelerating a strategic alliance that echoes the spirit of the Abraham Accords. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper say Iran has now attacked more than a dozen countries—prompting those nations to cooperate with American forces through basing, air defense, and intelligence support. At the same time, some European governments—including leaders like Keir Starmer in the United Kingdom—have faced criticism for initially restricting the use of military bases during the conflict. Tara argues the crisis is exposing a dramatic realignment in global alliances, forcing the world to reconsider who America's true partners are. The episode also teases an explosive historical clip suggesting how policies during the Barack Obama administration may have contributed to Iran's missile development—capabilities the U.S. is now targeting in the current conflict. Key Topics Covered: Media narrative vs. reality in the Iran conflict Gulf states aligning with the U.S. and Israel Regional cooperation after Iranian attacks Strategic impact of the Abraham Accords Military coordination with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain European hesitation and criticism of Keir Starmer's government Debate over past U.S. policy under Barack Obama Preview of upcoming revelations about Iran's missile program

 jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/28u74oax Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Lebanon and Iran are being further threatened. An Liobáin agus an Iaráin á dtuairgneáil tuilleadh. Israeli military forces are reportedly carrying out a massive raid on Iranian infrastructure again today, for the fifth day in a row. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil ruathar ollmhór á thabhairt ag fórsaí míleata Iosrael ar bhonneagar na hIaráine arís inniu, an cúigiú lá as a chéile. In a statement, the Israelis claimed that their bombs were aimed at Iranian military infrastructure – including missile launch sites and air defense systems – but made no mention of the civilian infrastructure they were also targeting. I ráiteas, mhaigh na hIosraelaigh gur ar bhonneagar míleata na hIaráine atá a gcuid buamaí dírithe – lena n-áirítear ionaid lainseála diúracán agus córais chosanta aeir – ach níl aon lua ar an mbonneagar sibhialta atá á rúscadh acu freisin. This is the case in Lebanon, where Israeli missiles destroyed a hotel in the capital, Beirut, and residential buildings in the Lebanon Valley in the east of the country. Is amhlaidh atá an scéal sa Liobáin, mar ar scrios diúracáin na nIosraelach óstán sa phríomhchathair, Béiriút, agus árais chónaithe i nGleann na Liobáine in oirthear na tíre. Several people are reported to have been killed in those two attacks, it was not said how many. Tuairiscítear roinnt daoine a bheith maraithe sa dá ionsaí sin, ní dúradh cé mhéad. The Israeli army has ordered the population of sixteen villages in southern Lebanon to gather because, they say, they will soon begin bombarding those areas. Tá ordú tugtha ag arm Iosrael don phobal i sé shráidbhaile dhéag i ndeisceart na Liobáine bailiú leo mar gur gearr, a deir siad, go dtósóidh siad ag tuairgneáil na n-áiteanna sin. The Israelis say they are wreaking havoc there in order to suppress Hezbollah, an organization supported by Iran. Is le dúil Hezbollah, eagraíocht a dtacaíonn an Iaráin leis, a chur faoi chois a deir na hIosraelaigh atá siad ag déanamh lot tíre ann. Hezbollah has been firing rockets into northern Israel for several days. Tá Hezbollah ag scaoileadh roicéad uathu le tuaisceart Iosrael le roinnt laethanta. Irish soldiers are among the international troops on peacekeeping duty with the United Nations in southern Lebanon. Tá saighdiúirí na hÉireann i measc na saighdiúirí idirnáisiúnta atá ar dualgas síochána leis na Náisiúin Aontaithe i ndeisceart na Liobáine. As with Iran, the commander of American forces in the Middle East is boasting about how well his soldiers – 50,000 of them – are carrying out orders. Mar leis an Iaráin, tá ceannasaí fhórsaí Mheiriceá sa Mhéanoirthear ag déanamh gaisce faoina fheabhas atá a chuid saighdiúirí – 50,000 acu – ag cur orduithe i bhfeidhm. Admiral Brad Cooper claimed that Iran’s military capability is being gradually depleted and that American combat capabilities in the region are growing stronger. Mhaígh an tAimiréal Brad Cooper go bhfuil cumas míleata na hIaráine á spíonadh diaidh ar ndiaidh agus gur ag dul i neart atá cumas comhraic na Meiriceánach sa réigiún. More soldiers and equipment are on the way, he said. Tá tuilleadh saighdiúirí agus trealaimh ar an mbealach, a dúirt sé. Iran’s air defense systems are on the verge of being destroyed, the admiral said, and the country’s navy has been unable to put a single ship to sea since seventeen of its vessels were sunk in four days. Tá córais chosanta aeir na hIaráine i ndáil le bheith scriosta, arsa an tAimiréal, agus níl cabhlach na tíre in ann aon long a chur faoi sheol ó cuireadh seacht soitheach déag dá gcuid go tóin le ceithre lá. Regarding the people being killed by the bombs, not much is being said. I dtaca leis na daoine atá á gcur den saol ag na buamaí, níl mórán á rá. Authorities in Iran said yesterday that 787 people have been killed since Saturday, including 165 schoolgirls. Dúirt na húdaráis san Iaráin inné gur maraíodh 787 duine ón Satharn, 165 cailín scoile ina measc. The Iranians are continuing their own bombing of neighboring countries, Arab countries where the Americans have large military bases and where thousands of Irish citizens live. Tá na hIaránaigh ag leanúint den bhuamáil atá siad féin a dhéanamh ar thíortha comharsanachta, tíortha Arabacha a bhfuil bunáiteanna móra míleata ag na Meiriceánaigh iontu agus ina bhfuil na mílte saoránach de chuid na hÉireann ina gcónaí.

VOV1 - Tư lệnh Bộ Chỉ huy phương Bắc của Israel hôm qua cho biết quân đội nước này đang chuẩn bị cho kịch bản Mỹ tấn công Iran và quốc gia Hồi giáo đáp trả bằng các cuộc tập kích nhằm vào Israel.Theo kênh số 12 của Israel, tuyên bố trên được Tướng Rafi Milo, Tư lệnh Bộ Chỉ huy phương Bắc của Lực lượng Phòng vệ Israel (IDF) đưa ra hôm qua, ít ngày sau chuyến thăm của Tư lệnh Bộ Chỉ huy Trung tâm Mỹ tại Trung Đông (CENTCOM), Đô đốc Brad Cooper, đến Israel. Nguồn tin cho biết, Tướng Rafi Milo nhấn mạnh rằng trong trường hợp Mỹ tấn công Iran, khả năng Israel bị ảnh là rất cao, bao gồm kịch bản một phần đòn trả đũa của Iran có thể vươn tới lãnh thổ Israel. Bên cạnh đó, Tư lệnh Bộ Chỉ huy phương Bắc của Lực lượng Phòng vệ Israel, cũng không loại trừ khả năng lực lượng Hezbollah ở Lebanon sẽ tham chiến, trong trường hợp xung đột bùng phát.     Đồn đoán về khả năng Mỹ có thể sắp tấn công Iran đang gia tăng mạnh sau thông báo hồi giữa tuần trước của Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump rằng một lượng lớn khí tài của quân đội Mỹ đang trên đường hướng về phía Iran. Trước đó, hồi trung tuần tháng này, ông Trump cũng thông báo đã hủy lệnh tấn công Iran vào phút chót, dù lực lượng Mỹ đã được chỉ thị sẵn sàng cho hành động can thiệp quân sự trực tiếp vào Iran để đáp trả cái gọi là các hành vi đàn áp và sát hại người biểu tình bạo loạn tại quốc gia Hồi giáo.     Về phía Iran, giới chức nước này nhiều lần tuyên bố bất kỳ cuộc tấn công nào của Mỹ hay Israel chống nước này, cũng sẽ phải đối mặt với những đòn giáng trả hủy diệt, thậm chí một cuộc chiến tranh tổng lực, vượt xa tính toán của tất cả các bên.Theo giới phân tích, kể từ sau cuộc chiến 12 ngày đêm hồi tháng 6/2025, trong đó Israel và Mỹ là các bên đã tấn công vào Iran trước, nguy cơ chiến tranh bùng phát trở lại giữa Iran với Mỹ và Israel luôn hiện hữu. Báo chí Mỹ tháng 11/2025 dẫn lời một số quan chức Vùng Vịnh thậm chí cho rằng một cuộc chiến mới giữa Israel và Iran là khó tránh khỏi. Tại Israel, cuộc thăm dò do Viện Dân chủ Israel tiến hành và công bố cuối năm ngoái cũng cho thấy gần 70% người Israel tin rằng một cuộc chiến mới giữa nước này và Iran sẽ nổ ra trong năm 2026./.Iran phóng tên lửa đạn đạo (Ảnh minh họa: Wikipedia).

Brad's reappearance is set to create a wave of chaos in Port Charles, with potential implications for his ex, Lucas Jones, and Portia Robinson, played by Brook Kerr.  GH spoilers suggest Brad's comeback begins with a heartwarming reunion with Britt. After believing Britt had died, Brad will be overjoyed to find her alive, leading him to consider a long-term stay in Port Charles. However, Brad's return is anticipated to stir trouble. Firstly, he is expected to approach Portia Robinson, who may ask him to rig a paternity test in her favor in exchange for reinstating him as lab chief.  Spoilers for General Hospital suggest Brad is also predicted to interfere with Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) and Lucas Jones' (Van Hansis) relationship, warning Lucas about Marco's criminal activities. Despite his warnings likely falling on deaf ears, Brad's intervention might make Lucas more cautious about Marco's actions.  More GH spoilers hint Brad could potentially help Britt synthesize her experimental Huntington's meds, possibly with Jason's assistance. This could be a lifeline for both Britt and others suffering from Huntington's disease. However, a major theory suggests that Brad might already have caused a significant stir. Some fans speculate that Brad was the one who shot Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison), a job possibly ordered by his aunt, Selina Wu (Lydia Look).   Soap Dirt is the most subscribed to YouTube soap opera channel.

In this comprehensive discussion, Bryan sits down with Brad Cooper, an experienced HVAC instructor from Arkansas, and JD Kelly, a trade school graduate, to tackle one of the most pressing questions in the HVAC industry: Is trade school worth it? Rather than offering a simple yes or no answer, the trio dives deep into the nuanced factors that determine whether trade school provides real value for aspiring HVAC technicians. The conversation begins with Brad's unique perspective as both a field technician with over 20 years of experience and a current instructor who transitioned to teaching five years ago. His father's business background and the common frustration of having to "go behind people and fix stuff" motivated Brad to enter education, believing that proper training from the start could eliminate many field problems. JD brings the student perspective, having attended trade school while working full-time, which gives him insight into both the challenges and benefits of formal HVAC education. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on what to look for when evaluating trade schools. The guests emphasize that the investment in laboratory equipment and facilities often reflects the school's commitment to the program - you can tell immediately upon walking into a lab whether the institution truly prioritizes HVAC education. They stress the importance of accreditation, particularly from organizations like HVAC Excellence, which provides regular oversight and ensures schools meet industry standards. The conversation reveals that accreditation isn't just about having a certificate on the wall; it represents a school's willingness to submit to external scrutiny and maintain educational quality. The discussion also addresses the critical balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application. All three speakers agree that the most valuable trade school experiences combine classroom learning with real-world field exposure through partnerships with local contractors, apprenticeship programs, or internship opportunities. They emphasize that instructor quality matters more than having the latest equipment - a humble, field-experienced teacher who can adapt to different student skill levels and learning styles proves far more valuable than someone with extensive theoretical knowledge but limited practical experience.

Despite presumed dead since the Hook Killer attack on January 4th, 2023, Britt has made a shocking comeback with her memory intact. However, she's still grappling with Huntington's disease, a fatal condition inherited from her father, Cesar Faison. The return of Britt prompts a series of revelations that leave the residents of Port Charles astounded.  GH sees Jason Morgan, played by Steve Burton, is increasingly suspicious that Britt may have somehow survived and is now on a hunt for answers. Britt's comeback is met with shock, particularly from her mother Liesel Obrecht, played by Kathleen Gati, and her best friend Brad Cooper, played by Parry Shen, who were unaware of her survival. Britt might be working unwillingly for a mystery boss with ties to Dalton and Sidwell, who could be controlling her by rationing her life-saving Huntington's medication.  General Hospital sees rumors circulate about the possible return of Ryan Pavey as Nathan West, Britt's brother. This adds a layer of intrigue to Britt's return, leaving viewers in eager anticipation of the upcoming episodes. Soap Dirt has grown to the most subscribed to YouTube soap opera channel.

In this episode of What Are You Made Of? with Mike “C-Roc”, endurance athlete, executive coach, and mental toughness expert Brad Cooper, PhD joins the show to talk about the powerful difference between who you are and what you do—and why that distinction can change your life. Brad shares his awe-inspiring story of biking over 3,000 miles across America in just over seven days, a feat he accomplished only weeks after a serious cycling accident that left him with multiple fractures. The conversation dives deep into identity, resilience, purpose, and performance—highlighting how Brad's journey through athletics, academics (he earned a PhD at age 50), and faith helped him strip away ego and redefine success on his own terms. Together, Mike "C-Roc" and Brad explore the dangers of tying your self-worth to external achievements, how faith and clarity of purpose can fuel elite performance, and why being a “catalyst” for others is the most fulfilling path of all. Whether you're navigating a personal pivot or chasing your next big goal, this episode will challenge you to stop chasing the “what” and finally get clear on the “who.”Website-https://drbradcooper.com/https://catalystcoaching360.com/https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/optimalhumanperformance

Brad, who has recently been gloating over his leverage over Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) finds himself outplayed by her. Brad reveals to Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) that he knows who drugged him. This critical information, expected to be revealed this week, could lead to Brad making a life-changing decision on the ABC soap opera.

Geoffrey Reid, president of Blue River Development, along with co-CEOs and Managing Principals Brad and Michael Cooper, join host Carol Morgan for this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. This podcast segment delves into Blue River Development's 2025 goals and how recent financial trends affect the housing market and the land development process. Filling the Gap of Housing Supply Blue River Development plans to close 20 to 25 new land deals this year, including over 20 projects already on schedule to close before the end of 2025. It also has over 60 active deals in the due diligence and negotiation stages. “We're really here to help serve home builders and help them fill their land pipelines,” said Reid. “And while the housing market continues to evolve, one thing that remains is a lack of supply and solving this problem begins with the land.” Reid describes Blue River Development's approach as “keeping our foot on the pedal” as it drives to source land that transforms into housing for all buyers, including first-time homebuyers, those looking to move up and even the luxury home market. Expanding in New and Current Markets Utilizing months of supply inventory data in its housing markets, Blue River Development finds locations with the most demand for homes. The equilibrium is 6 months for housing supply, and the Atlanta market has just over 3 months of housing inventory as of January 2025. “It is a mission-based acquisition process that our guys are tasked with, and it's to leave no stone unturned,” said Reid. “And that means that in every active municipality, jurisdiction, you know, our team is intimate with the entitlement probabilities, with the future land use map, jurisdictions and understanding intimately the ability to obtain our entitlements, but also the infrastructure that's needed to execute on our projects.” In addition to the Atlanta market, Blue River Development is also active in the Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee and east Dallas, Texas. Last year, the development company pivoted to focus on land development and was met with much success. Brad Cooper explains that the company returned to its core business model, which is land development. It transformed not only its business plan but also its team to refocus on land development in 2024.  “We've got the right team,” said Brad Cooper. “We're in a very tight business plan with tight underwriting standards, and it's been just amazingly successful in 2024." Effects of Fluctuating Interest Rates and Supply Chain Slowdowns Interest rates reached an all-time high in recent years, but Michael Cooper says that Blue River Development anticipates that they will remain flat this year after lowering slightly at the end of 2024, which allows for more housing supply. The fluctuations of interest, both raising and lowering, directly impact the underwriting process for builders. He also notes that the supply chain experienced hiccups during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of bids affected the development process and how much supply was being presented to prospective buyers. “Now we've got multiple options to bid out our projects, which has been nice to see,” said Michael Cooper. “So ultimately, we feel very good about the forecast here, even despite some of the challenges with where mortgage rates are today.” Tune in the full episode to learn more about Blue River Development's upcoming projects and more.

About Blue River Development Blue River Development is a vertically integrated land developer focusing on growing 24 markets across seven Southern states.
