In 1990, New York City was a place many Americans were afraid to enter, let alone police. More than 2,600 homicides in a single year, open-air drug markets, violent subway platforms and neighborhoods ruled by fear defined daily life. What followed would become one of the most debated eras in modern policing — aggressive enforcement strategies, the expansion of stop, question and frisk, and a leadership-driven push to reclaim the streets. Decades later, those years are still argued in classrooms, courtrooms and police roll calls across the country. On this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley is joined by NYPD Detective Tom Smith, who lived that history from the inside. Smith joined the department in 1990 and was assigned to West Harlem's 30th Precinct, one of the city's busiest and most dangerous commands at the time. From anti-crime plainclothes work and gun arrests to major narcotics investigations, DEA task force operations and a post-9/11 deployment to Afghanistan, Smith's career spans local street enforcement and international investigations. He shares what policing looked like before the crime drop, how leadership and coordinated prosecution mattered, and what today's officers face in a very different New York City. Tom Smith is co-host of The Gold Shields Show podcast. Connect with Tom online: LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram.

A massive political fracture is unfolding—and it's not between parties, but inside the Republican Party itself.

You know you're in for a good time when a movie features a 'witch mountain', right? Well, not if you've seen 1995's Escape to Witch Mountain. Then you'll know how it's perfectly possible for a film featuring a witch mountain to also be utterly incomprehensible and intensely dull!Never mind, at least this baffling remake of the 1975 family film - which tells the story of psychic alien twins reuniting after years spent apart - also features a hilariously stupid villainous scheme, and makes for an extremely giddy recap. It also boasts Erik von Detten and Sam Horrigan, who would go on to play Brink and Val in the legendary 1998 skating DCOM!If you crave bonus episodes of Mom Can't Cook!, monthly livestream watchalongs, or a shoutout at the end of the show, remember to check out our Patreon at Patreon.com/extrahelpings.If you've watched Escape to Witch Mountain and have your own thoughts, email them to us at momcantcookpod@gmail.com for a chance to have them read out on the show.

What Sets Humans Apart? Key lessons from my conversation with Dr. Robin Hills .As artificial intelligence accelerates and reshapes how we work, learn, and communicate, one question keeps resurfacing: What remains uniquely human? That was at the heart of my recent On the Brink conversation with Dr. Robin Hills, a business psychologist and one of the world's leading voices on emotional intelligence. Our discussion offered both reassurance and challenge—especially for leaders navigating rapid change, generational shifts, and technology-driven uncertainty. Here are the key lessons that stood out. 1. Emotional intelligence is not "soft"—it is foundational Emotional intelligence (EI) is often mislabeled as a soft skill. In reality, it is a core operating system for effective leadership, collaboration, and decision-making. As Robin explained, EI is about being smart with your feelings—integrating emotion and cognition to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. This matters because emotions are not optional. They are physiological and psychological responses to our environment. The choice is not whether emotions will influence us, but whether we will learn to work with them skillfully. 2. Self-regulation is becoming a critical leadership skill One of the most striking themes was self-regulation—our ability to pause, choose, and respond intentionally. In a world of constant notifications, endless information, and emotional triggers, self-regulation is increasingly difficult and increasingly essential. Robin highlighted how our attachment to devices can undermine emotional awareness, presence, and learning. When leaders (and teams) cannot disengage long enough to listen, reflect, or engage meaningfully, they lose both insight and connection. Mastering technology rather than being mastered by it is now part of emotional intelligence. 3. Emotional intelligence must be learned—and relearned We often assume people "pick up" emotional skills naturally. Yet many do not. Education systems may introduce emotional awareness early, but rarely sustain it through adolescence, higher education, or professional life. The pandemic amplified this gap. Younger generations lost critical years of social learning, while adults themselves were stretched emotionally. Rather than blaming or labeling behaviors, the opportunity now is to rebuild emotional skills deliberately—in schools, workplaces, and leadership development programs. 4. AI will not replace what makes us human Despite growing fears about artificial intelligence, Robin was clear: AI does not have emotions, empathy, purpose, or meaning. It cannot truly collaborate, lead, or innovate in the human sense. What AI can do is free us from routine tasks—making our emotional and relational capabilities even more valuable. Creativity, empathy, ethical judgment, perspective-taking, and meaning-making are not threatened by AI; they are highlighted by it. The more technology advances, the more human skills matter. 5. Emotional intelligence gives us choice Perhaps the most powerful insight was this: emotional intelligence gives us choice. Choice in how we respond under pressure. Choice in how we communicate across differences. Choice in how we turn uncertainty into opportunity rather than fear. We will not get it right every time. As Robin noted, if you respond well eight times out of ten, you are doing well. The work is learning from the other two—without self-criticism, and with curiosity. A final reflection As an anthropologist, I see emotional intelligence as part of how humans adapt. Our brains may resist change, but our capacity to learn, empathize, and create meaning has allowed us to thrive across millennia. In a world reshaped by AI, emotional intelligence is not a "nice to have." It is how we remain human, relevant, and resilient—at work and in life. If this conversation sparked new ways of seeing, feeling, or thinking, that is exactly the point. Watch our podcast interview here.

Robert Knight is a former Los Angeles Times news editor and columnist for the Washington Times as well as other publications. Robert has had senior positions in a number of pro-family organizations. He's written several books including, The Coming Communist Wave: What Happens if the Left Captures All Three Branches of Government, Liberty on the Brink, Crooked: What Really Happened in the 2020 Election and How to Stop the Fraud and The Battle for America's Soul in which he provides 10 Steps to restore Freedom. In this critical election year, Crosstalk reminds you that elections have consequences. The state of Virginia is one notable example because it was on January 17th that Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as the state's 75th governor. Not only did the voters elect this Democrat governor, but they also voted in the lieutenant governor and attorney general. This was in addition to the Democrat controlled general assembly and senate. Combined, this group wasted no time in introducing a hard left agenda that includes: Gerrymandering future elections. Bombarding the citizens with new taxes. Attack life in the womb. Eliminate mandatory minimum sentences. Codify the LGBTQ+ agenda into state statutes. Limiting the periods when officials can check voter registration lists for accuracy. This is some of what was discussed in just the first quarter hour alone. There's much more on this litany of legislation as the program unfolds, and you can hear it all, on this edition of Crosstalk.

With a government shutdown hours away, Washington is on the edge—and the battle lines are clear. Senate Democrats are blocking DHS funding unless Republicans agree to sweeping changes that would cripple ICE and rewrite immigration enforcement from the ground up. As President Trump takes his campaign straight to Iowa and the FBI raids a Georgia election office, questions swirl about power, borders, and who's really holding America hostage. Is this about reform—or a calculated move toward one-party rule? Christian Briggs, CEO of Hard Asset Management, joins The Real Story to break down what's really at stake, why crime and immigration enforcement are colliding head-on, and whether Republicans will force Democrats to own the consequences of another shutdown. Buckle up—this isn't just politics, it's a warning.

In this episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff is joined by guest John for a wide-ranging live conversation that mixes scripture, current events, and spiritual commentary. The show opens with the Word on Word segment—comparing Philippians 4:6 and John 4:24—and explores the role of prayer, worship in spirit and truth, and the believer's response to fear and unrest. The hosts examine a controversial claim that recent ice storms and freezing events may be part of deliberate geoengineering and "weather warfare." They share local reports of power outages, generators, and personal stories from listeners affected by the storm, using those accounts to underscore themes of providence and faith in adversity. On geopolitics, the episode dives into Iran: reports of a decades-long drought allegedly tied to weather modification, Trump-era military posturing, the possibility of regime change, and the complex mix of opposition movements (including discussion of the Shah, Restart and democratic elements). John and Jeff also discuss Iran's cyber capabilities and the broader military implications of a U.S.-Iran confrontation. The show turns to domestic and transnational security issues—Palantir, the case of Jacob Peretti and ICE, interruptions to media feeds, Q-drop references, and claims about covert influence operations. They also play and react to clips alleging misuse of humanitarian funds (e.g., accusations involving Bono, USAID and Somalia), raising questions about charity, covert action, and media narratives. Listeners hear a critique of New Age and mindfulness trends (featuring a clip from researcher Greg Reese) contrasted with Christian teaching. The hosts discuss the psychology of distraction and the "default mode network," highlight the danger of an inward-focused "self" culture, and argue for scripture-centered identity and practices of prayerful presence over self-help approaches. Episode wrap-up includes practical notes—where to follow the hosts, a fundraising update, invitations to Telegram prayer meetings, and a reminder to love God, family, and neighbor. Expect a mix of theological reflection, geopolitical analysis, media critique, and on-the-ground listener reports in this hard-hitting, faith-centered episode.

America is at a breaking point. Today's show dives into the escalating chaos surrounding ICE operations in Minneapolis, where federal agents are being openly tracked, doxed, and obstructed by organized mobs operating through “rapid response” Signal groups. What's happening on the streets isn't spontaneous protest, it's coordinated interference fueled by sanctuary policies that force ICE into direct confrontation while state and city leaders refuse to cooperate. The result is clear violence, destruction, and lives lost, all while the media obscures the deeper truth behind the unrest.We're joined by Will Tanner, co-founder of The American Tribune and a leading analyst of Rhodesia and Old World collapse, to draw chilling historical parallels. From elite betrayal and demographic shifts to the erosion of national identity and meritocracy, Tanner explains how great nations fall and why America is flashing the same warning signs. This is a sobering conversation about hierarchy, borders, cultural cohesion, and whether the republic still has the will to defend itself before decline becomes irreversible.Federal warnings, Trump administration demands to Minnesota leadership, continued assaults on ICE agents, and the spread of radical agitation beyond Minneapolis into places like Colorado. With vehicles destroyed, agents attacked, and officials fanning the flames, the question becomes unavoidable where does America go from here? Today's episode confronts that question head-on. Patrick is sitting in for Joe, with Tommy Carrigan co-hosting, as they break down what's next for a nation that feels truly under siege.

The January 27 edition of the AgNet News Hour took a deep and urgent look at one of California agriculture's most emotionally charged and fast-growing crises: wolves. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill were joined by Assemblymember Heather Hadwick, who represents California's massive and rural District 1, stretching across much of the state's northern tier. Her message was blunt—California's current wolf policies are failing ranchers, rural families, and public safety. Hadwick explained that while wolves have been present in Northern California for several years, the situation has escalated dramatically. Declining deer, elk, and antelope populations have left wolves without adequate natural food sources, pushing them closer to ranches, schools, and neighborhoods. In some areas, wolf packs have killed more than 100 head of cattle in a single season, devastating family ranching operations that were already struggling with rising costs. What frustrates ranchers most, Hadwick said, is that California law leaves them virtually powerless. Wolves are so heavily protected that ranchers cannot haze them, deter them, or defend their livestock without risking legal consequences. “They're being asked to watch their livelihoods be destroyed,” she said, “and they aren't even allowed to protect their own property.” The problem goes beyond livestock losses. Hadwick described growing fear in rural communities, where wolves have been spotted near schools, playgrounds, and homes. Parents are hesitant to let their children play outside, and ranchers are spending sleepless nights patrolling calving grounds. “There's an emotional and mental toll here that no compensation check can fix,” she said. Hadwick contrasted California's approach with neighboring states and even Canada, where wolf populations are managed with clearer rules that balance wildlife conservation and human safety. In California, she said, predator management is fragmented, with wolves, bears, and mountain lions all handled separately—despite exploding populations and shrinking habitat. Bears alone are now estimated at more than 65,000 statewide, with some of the highest concentrations in her district. To address the crisis, Hadwick is introducing legislation aimed at improving transparency, response time, and public safety authority. One proposal would allow local sheriffs to act when wolves pose an immediate threat, while another would require real-time tracking data so ranchers know when wolves are nearby—rather than learning hours later after livestock has been killed. Papagni and McGill agreed the issue isn't about eliminating wolves, but about restoring balance. Other states have proven coexistence is possible when policy reflects reality on the ground. Hadwick warned that without change, California risks pushing ranchers into desperate situations—and losing more of its rural communities in the process. “This is about common sense,” she said. “And it's about protecting the people who produce our food.”

Camilla and Tim are joined by political commentator and co-founder of the ‘Triggernometry' podcast, Konstantin Kisin.Kisin, Russian by birth but a British citizen who's lived in the UK for the last thirty years, does not hold back on why Britain is “increasingly irrelevant” in the global pecking order, whether it's through the “industrial suicide” of net zero, the “weakness” of diversity or Keir Starmer's “cosying up to China” instead of aligning more closely with Donald Trump.He also explains why Reform offer the best hope of fixing Britain's current malaise, despite potentially having to balance a diverse coalition of voters.We want to hear from you!

In this January 26th episode of the RattlerGator Report, JB White opens with a candid personal update, confronting health challenges and the hard decisions that come with them. From there, the conversation expands rapidly into the accelerating pace of global events. JB breaks down General Flynn's recent warnings, unpacking unrest within China, the instability surrounding Xi Jinping, and what potential internal fractures could mean for U.S. foreign policy and global power dynamics. The episode explores America's strategic posture across Europe and the Indo-Pacific, including shifting alliances, the role of Greece, and the broader implications of energy, technology, and military positioning. JB also examines the failures of international institutions, the decline of old power structures, and why patience and strategic restraint may matter more than reaction. Blending personal reflection with sharp geopolitical analysis, this episode captures a moment where health, leadership, and world events collide — and nothing appears to be slowing down.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers.

Cold plunges are everywhere, and the way people talk about them, you'd think they're a miracle cure for your brain, body, and soul. But in an age of algorithm-fueled evangelism, when a ritual becomes this ubiquitous and loud, we have to ask: how much of the buzz is backed by science… and how much is just marketing? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of cold exposure: what's real, what's overstated, and why this "discomfort" has become a billion-dollar industry. We discuss: Why cold plunges went viral, and how wellness movements often devolve into identity-driven cultures The difference between cold exposure itself and the monetized "cold plunge movement" What constitutes a "cult" (and how pseudoscience forms around partial truths) The real physiological cold shock response Why the mental "high" after a plunge doesn't automatically equal long-term brain benefit The cardiovascular risks that rarely get discussed, especially for people with underlying heart disease What the research suggests about soreness, pain reduction, and muscle growth (including why cold immersion can blunt hypertrophy) The real story behind brown fat Who should avoid cold plunges altogether (asthma, arrhythmias, coronary disease, vascular conditions) Joining us for this conversation is investigative journalist and bestselling author Scott Carney (What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge), who has spent years inside the cold exposure world, first as a skeptic, then as a believer, and eventually as a critic of the culture that formed around it. His work reveals what happens when discomfort becomes identity, and when unfounded "social media science" outruns real science.

In this week's Beyond the Brink podcast, host Rosemary Armao asks Wall Street banker Mark Wittman to talk to us as if we were fifth graders to explain what inflation, tariffs, the end of pennies, and control over Venezuelan oil will do to our wallets.

What's really happening in Minnesota — and why does it matter to the rest of America? ⚠️ In this episode, Tara breaks down explosive claims involving $19 BILLION in alleged fraud, violent street intimidation, and federal officials being chased off while trying to investigate. With no arrests since December, leaked emails suggesting city coordination with protesters, and federal agencies sounding the alarm, Tara explains why Minnesota is being framed as a case study in depolicing, vigilantism, and the collapse of lawful accountability.

[00:30] A World on the Brink (55 minutes) Bible prophecy predicts an international trade bloc that will freeze the United States out of world trade.

Iran is erupting in protests—and the regime is cracking down with extraordinary violence.  Guest Host Hagar Chemali sits down with Jay Solomon (investigative reporter at The Free Press) to unpack why protests are surging nationwide, what the regime's economic rot reveals about its fragility, and what (if anything) the U.S. and Israel might do next. They dig into a bank-collapse story that helped ignite the unrest, the regime's deteriorating proxy network after October 7, and the strategic debate inside Washington over strikes, cyber operations, and financial pressure. Then they turn to the American political fringes—left and right—and why some activists echo Islamic Republic propaganda about the protests being “astroturfed.” Finally, in Politicology+, they unpack how Qatar, a tiny Gulf nation with just 350,000 citizens, has built one of the most wide-reaching influence networks in the world.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Broadcasters Russ Williams, Marcus Buckland and Marlon as we suffered late heartbreak in Saturday's London derby as West Ham United struck an injury-time winner. In a typically frenetic derby clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a thumping second-half header from skipper Cristian Romero had cancelled out Crysencio Summerville's early deflected opener for the visitors. But, despite plenty of pressure on the Hammers' goal, we were unable to find the winner and instead, Callum Wilson netted a close-range strike to snatch the points and end their 10-game losing streak. We discuss where this leaves the future of Thomas Frank and whether he can survive this latest London derby defeat and manner of the performance.

SHOW SCHEDULE1-14-251920 SALT RIVER China Urges Canada to Break from US Influence. Guests: CHARLES BURTON and GORDON CHANG. China is pressuring Canada to adopt "strategic autonomy" and distance itself from US influence as PM Mark Carney visits Beijing. Despite myths of economic salvation through Chinese trade, experts argue Canada'sexports to China remain minimal. Concerns persist regarding fentanyl production, Arctic neglect, and Chineseespionage. China's "Hollow Power" in Iran and Venezuela. Guests: GORDON CHANG and CHARLES BURTON. China's influence appears limited as it fails to substantively support struggling allies like Venezuela's Maduro or the Iranian regime. While China remains a major purchaser of discounted Iranian oil, it has proven unable to dictate events against US pressure. Experts describe China as a "hollow power." Trump's Iran Tariff Threat and China Trade Rift. Guest: ALAN TONELSON. President Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on any country trading with Iran significantly impacts China, which values this trade for political and symbolic reasons. China has already failed to meet its previous trade obligations, including soybean purchases and rare earth export licenses. Europe remains economically vulnerable. Electricity Costs, AI Demand, and Venezuela's Oil Reality. Guest: BUD WEINSTEIN. Rising US electricity prices, up 30-35% over five years, are driven by data center and AI growth alongside infrastructure underinvestment. Meanwhile, Venezuelan oil is deemed impractical for US demand due to high extraction costs and political instability. Rebuilding these fields would require massive, high-risk investments. Chinese Sinister Intentions in Cuba and Nicaragua. Guest: STEVE YATES. China maintains a significant presence in Cuba, utilizing the island for intelligence gathering and signals facilities targeted at the United States. As Venezuela's oil subsidies to Cuba potentially end, the island faces economic collapse. The US may utilize travel restrictions and economic pressure as leverage. The Risks of Venezuelan Oil and Soaring Copper Prices. Guest: SIMON CONSTABLE. American oil companies remain reluctant to invest in Venezuela due to the historical risk of nationalization and decayed infrastructure. In commodity markets, copper has reached an "astronomical" price of over $6 per pound, leading to a surge in theft from electronics and bridges globally. Artemis 2 Safety Concerns and SpaceX Dominance. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. The Artemis 2 manned mission faces controversy over unresolved Orion heat shield damage observed during previous tests. Meanwhile, SpaceX has secured a monopoly on recent Space Force contracts, signaling a shift toward prioritizing reliability and cost over redundancy. China has filed for 200,000 new satellites. Scouting Mars for Helicopters and the Search for Alien Life. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. Scientists are scouting landing sites for future Mars helicopters in areas containing near-surface ice, potentially for future Starship missions. Research suggests liquid water may have existed on Mars three billion years ago under protective ice sheets. Recent SETI results analyzed billions of data points without finding definitive alien signals. Venezuela's Power Vacuum and the Path Forward. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. Mary Kissel discusses the "unfinished" state of Venezuela following the removal of Maduro, characterizing the remaining leadership as "thugs" and "gangs" focused on drug money. She explores the roles of Cuba, regional neighbors like Colombia and Brazil, and the Vatican's new moral leadership in the region. Iran in Transition: Assessing a Regime on the Brink. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. John Batchelor and Mary Kissel analyze reports of Iran's potential collapse, citing internet blackouts and regime brutality. They discuss potential U.S. interventions, such as kinetic strikes or Starlinkaccess, and evaluate whether Reza Pahlavi is a credible transitional leader amidst concerns of the country breaking into ethnic factions. The Intellectual Factions of the "New Right". Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Peter Berkowitz outlines the fracturing of the "New Right" into factions like national conservatives and post-liberals. Referencing Laura K. Field's book, Furious Minds, he notes these groups often reject Lockeanprinciples in the Declaration of Independence. However, he distinguishes these intellectuals from typical, non-ideological Trump voters. The New Right's Radical Rejection of Traditional Republicanism. Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Berkowitz contrasts the New Right's desire for state-led social reform with the Republican Party's traditional focus on liberty and limited government. He discusses Michael Anton's views on the "right of revolution" and warns that attacking classical liberalism risks eroding essential protections against bigotry and persecution in America. Plunging Russian Oil Prices and the Impact of Global Sanctions. Guest: MICHAEL BERNSTAM. Russian oil prices are dropping significantly, with some major brands selling between $34 and $35 per barrel. Westernsanctions and global supply gluts allow buyers like China and India to extract massive discounts. Future stability in Iran could further increase competition, driving Russian revenues and taxes even lower. Pakistan's $1.5 Billion Arms Deal with Sudan and China's Strategic Influence. Guests: RICK FISHER and GORDON CHANG. Pakistan is nearing a deal to supply jets and drones to Sudan, likely funded by Saudi Arabia. China uses these transactions to establish alternative security structures in the Middle East. Experts suggest China prefers ongoing conflict over peace to maximize profits and regional influence. The Collapse of the Chinese Real Estate Market and Economic Stagnation. Guests: ANNE STEVENSON-YANG and GORDON CHANG. China's property sector faces a permanent downturn, with prices dropping 30–60% and enough vacant apartments to house billions. The government lacks the funds for a rescue. Xi Jinping'sfocus on high-tech is insufficient to replace real estate, which previously accounted for 25% of GDP. The China-Iran Partnership: Oil, Surveillance, and Regional Stability. Guest: JACK BURNHAM. Chinamaintains a pragmatic "partnership" with Iran, focused on extracting discounted oil. Beijing provides surveillance technology to help the Iranian regime suppress internal protests while officially calling for stability. Additionally, Chinese or Russian technology is suspected of disrupting Starlink satellites to hinder military communications.

Iran in Transition: Assessing a Regime on the Brink. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. John Batchelor and Mary Kissel analyze reports of Iran's potential collapse, citing internet blackouts and regime brutality. They discuss potential U.S. interventions, such as kinetic strikes or Starlink access, and evaluate whether Reza Pahlavi is a credible transitional leader amidst concerns of the country breaking into ethnic factions.1806, CHURNING MILK OCEAN
