On May 14th, 2026, a group of experienced Italian divers disappeared during a research trip in the Maldives, setting off a race to save them. Despite their skills, the divers made a fatal wrong turn inside a monstrous underwater cave. A Coast Guard sergeant also tragically lost his life while trying to recover them. The tragedy revealed a series of miscommunications and planning lapses. None of the organizations involved had a complete picture of the group's intentions, and the divers lacked the proper equipment and certifications for the dive. The loved ones of those who passed are still waiting for answers, and very little information has been released to the public.RO - https://www.ro.co/LIGHTSOUTRocket Money - https://www.rocketmoney.com/lightsoutMint Mobile - https://www.mintmobile.com/LIGHTSOUTOmaha Steaks - https://www.OmahaSteaks.com & Use Code :LIGHTSOUTFollow & Subscribe To The Show!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SfSNbkVrfz3ceXmNr0lZ4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lights-out/id1505843600Social Links:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lightsoutcastTwitter: http://twitter.com/lightsoutcastInstagram: http://instagram.com/lightsoutcastSuggestions/Comments: lop@milehigher.comMerch: https://milehighermerch.comRequest A Topic Form: https://zfrmz.com/Sp6vsxGQrNoHUfDzvGnNPodcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.comHost: JoshTwitter: http://twitter.com/milehigherjoshInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherjoshCo-Host: IanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Editor/Producer: DanielInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrororeoSources: https://pastebin.com/xTsdZm6k

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 18, 2026. We open with a California bill moving through the legislature that would allow minors in residential treatment facilities to trigger state investigations of their own parents — and we explain why this isn't about protecting children from genuine abuse. It's about a state that has spent years operating from the assumption that parents are wrong and government is right. We walk through the mechanism — buried inside dry juvenile dependency language is a process by which a child who disagrees with their court-ordered treatment can initiate a legal review that effectively places their parents under state investigation. We connect it to a pattern the left has run for years — driving a wedge between children and the parents who are trying to save them, and then letting the state step in as the replacement parent. And we warn parents outside California that bad ideas rarely stay behind state lines. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the United States and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding — covering the five key pillars, with a 60-day negotiating window to reach a final deal and reconstruction funds from regional partners available if Iran follows through. Then D.C. Democrat primary winner Janice Lewis George is heading toward the general election, with President Trump already promising to take back D.C. if a socialist wins the mayor's race. And the Coast Guard intercepted a speedboat off the coast of Florida carrying 25 Chinese nationals attempting to enter the country illegally — firing on the engines to disable the vessel after repeated warnings went ignored. We note that we have never in our lifetimes heard of the U.S. government disabling boats trying to enter illegally — and call it exactly what it is: a closed border. We sit down with Dr. Peter Earle of the American Institute for Economic Research to take the actual temperature of the U.S. economy — separate from the media's doom-and-gloom narrative. Dr. Earle's assessment: the hard data still describe an expansion, but forward-looking indicators are more cautious. Consumer spending remains positive, corporate earnings are holding up, and there are no overall recessionary conditions — but elevated interest rates, housing affordability, and the national debt are real concerns. He also explains why gas prices won't drop overnight even with the Iran deal — the research shows it takes about 22 weeks for oil price reductions to fully pass through to consumers, meaning relief at the pump is more likely late summer or early fall. And he explains why Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is less about personal wealth and more about what it will cost to turn SpaceX into the Amtrak of space travel over the next several decades. Barack and Michelle Obama appeared on Good Morning America to promote the opening of the Obama Presidential Center — and Barack said he wants visitors to walk through and think, what's possible? We take him at his word and answer the question. We also note that many of the subcontractors who built the nearly billion-dollar complex — which ran nearly $300 million over budget — have reportedly not been paid. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the San Francisco Giants story — where pitchers were warned by MLB after writing Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night. A San Francisco player spoke beautifully about why the rainbow holds deep biblical meaning for Christians as the sign of God's Noahic covenant — and why writing Genesis 9:12-16 on a hat is not anti-anything. It's pro-something. Teri says she supports marriage equality — and still thinks forcing players to celebrate someone else's sexuality on their uniforms is wrong, performative, and is actually pushing people away from the very acceptance the movement says it wants. We also cover the New York Knicks' White House visit — and their championship celebration at City Hall, where Mayor Mamdani delivered a 10-minute speech before anyone from the actual championship team could speak. Knicks owner James Dolan stepped to the mic and said simply — I don't need your vote. I don't need to quote you. If you're a real Knicks fan, you already know. Nobody needed a program to figure out who that was aimed at. For our Bright Spot, a new American Enterprise Institute poll on civic values finds that 82% of Americans believe in equal opportunity regardless of race, religion, or gender, 79% say everyone has the right to their religious beliefs, 72% still believe hard work can lead to prosperity, and 66% believe people can criticize the government without fear of punishment. We call this exactly what it is — evidence that the American idea is still alive in the hearts of most Americans — and note that 75% say the Declaration of Independence should be taught in high school, even though only 29% have actually read it. It's two pages, folks. We also cover a Trump-appointed federal judge who ordered ICE to release a Palestinian green card holder convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli armed forces — a man the U.S. government has known about for 25 years. We ask the more important question — why did we let him in in the first place? And we close with Alyssa Goralnik, who published a children's vocabulary book called Weighty Words in 1985 and never made a dime. Forty years later, an author named Eli McCann posted a video about the book on social media. Within weeks it hit the top of Amazon's bestseller charts and publishers rushed a second printing — not bad for a book written 20 years before Amazon existed.

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crashed near Harbor Mountain during a training flight Monday morning, according to the USCG.

You get **Fort Gratiot**. In this episode of **222 Paranormal Podcast**, Joe and Jennifer Shortridge travel to the shores of **Port Huron, Michigan**, to uncover the fascinating and eerie history surrounding **Fort Gratiot** and the **Fort Gratiot Lighthouse**. While millions of visitors know the lighthouse as Michigan's oldest, few realize the dark stories that have unfolded around it for more than two centuries. The episode begins long before the first American soldiers arrived. We explore the Native American history of the region, examining why this stretch of shoreline was so important to the Ojibwe, Ottawa, and Potawatomi people. We also discuss the long-standing legends surrounding possible Native burial grounds and why these stories continue to be associated with paranormal activity today. From there, we dive into the **War of 1812** and the construction of Fort Gratiot in 1814. Discover what life was really like for soldiers stationed along the Great Lakes frontier as they battled brutal winters, isolation, disease, and the constant uncertainty of military life. Many of the earliest ghost stories began with these lonely sentries who reported hearing footsteps, phantom voices, and seeing shadowy figures moving through the fog after dark. Next, we explore the remarkable history of the **Fort Gratiot Lighthouse**, built in 1825 as Michigan's first lighthouse. Countless lives depended on its beacon as storms and shipwrecks claimed vessels across Lake Huron. We discuss the hardships faced by lighthouse keepers and the strange experiences reported inside the tower over the years. No discussion of Fort Gratiot would be complete without examining its most famous hauntings. We investigate the stories of **"Lighthouse Bob" Hanford**, whose love of the lighthouse may have continued after his passing, and **Frank Kimball**, a nineteenth-century keeper whose spirit has allegedly been captured in photographs, audio recordings, and paranormal investigations. We also examine the chilling legend of the mysterious **Seawall Apparition**, a woman dressed in dark clothing who has reportedly been seen by visitors and Coast Guard personnel before vanishing without explanation. The episode also explores the haunted guardhouse, military prisoner stories, unexplained shadow figures, ghostly sentinels walking the fort walls, and reports of strange lights along the shoreline. We even examine the connection between Fort Gratiot and the legendary **Great Lakes Triangle**, where unexplained disappearances, phantom ships, and mysterious phenomena have fascinated researchers for generations Joe also shares his personal experiences visiting Port Huron while researching his book, including exploring local cemeteries, photographing the iconic **Blue Water Bridge**, and why he believes small towns often preserve the richest paranormal legends. Whether you're fascinated by haunted lighthouses, military history, Great Lakes mysteries, or true paranormal investigations, this episode offers a deep dive into one of Michigan's most compelling haunted locations. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and join us as we uncover the history, hauntings, and enduring mysteries of **Fort Gratiot and the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse**.

When Coast Guard pilot Steve Torpey got called into work on a Friday night back in January, 1998, he had no idea he was heading into the most challenging flight of his career. At that point, two Coast Guard helicopters had already failed to rescue the crew of the sunken fishing vessel La Conte. Torpey's crew — manning the third helicopter — were the stranded fishermen's last hope. Now retired, Steve Torpey joins host Mike Corey to share his memories of that fateful rescue mission.

What happened to Lynette Hooker: Brian Hooker says his wife had the ignition key when she fell from their dinghy in the Bahamas. But Lynette's daughter says Brian was always the one driving — and her mother having the key doesn't add up.That inconsistency is one of several that have turned a reported boating accident into a federal criminal investigation. On April 4, Brian and Lynette Hooker left dinner in Hope Town, Bahamas, on an eight-foot dinghy headed to their anchored sailboat, Soulmate. According to Brian, rough seas knocked Lynette overboard. She had the key. The engine died. The current took her. He paddled for hours to reach shore and reported her missing the following morning — roughly eight and a half hours later.Karli Aylesworth, Lynette's daughter, went public within days. She told reporters Brian had anger issues and alleged there was a history of him choking her mother and threatening to throw her overboard. A 2015 Michigan police report documents a domestic incident where Lynette accused Brian of hitting her and choking her. Both accused the other of starting the fight. Only Lynette was arrested. The charges were dropped for insufficient evidence.Since then, GPS data from one of Brian's devices has contradicted his account of where he was on the water that night. The sailboat's tracking system went dark for eleven hours. A $33,000 thermal camera designed to detect a person in the water was never activated. The Coast Guard seized the Soulmate in a federal interdiction operation at sea, and the FBI is processing evidence at Quantico. The case is being investigated as a possible foreign murder of a U.S. national.Investigators returned to the Bahamas in June with divers, underwater vehicles, and a cadaver dog to search the area the GPS data pointed to — a location Brian never mentioned. The search has concluded with no public announcement of results. No charges have been filed. Lynette Hooker's body has not been found. Brian has denied any wrongdoing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lynette Hooker disappearance: On the night Lynette Hooker went missing in the Bahamas, the Soulmate's AIS tracking system — the transponder that broadcasts a vessel's position to other boats and to authorities — stopped transmitting for eleven hours. It went dark. Then it came back on.If it had failed permanently, you'd assume a hardware malfunction. But shutting off and restarting is what happens when someone disables the system and turns it back on later. A maritime expert quoted in reporting on the investigation called the shutoff “highly suspicious.” There were three additional blackout periods in the days that followed.Lynette, 55, from Onsted, Michigan, and her husband Brian had been living aboard their sailboat Soulmate and documenting their travels on a YouTube channel called The Sailing Hookers. On April 4, the couple left dinner at the Abaco Inn in Hope Town and headed out on an eight-foot dinghy toward their anchored sailboat. Brian told police Lynette fell overboard with the ignition key, the engine cut, and the current took her. He paddled to shore and reported her missing hours later.Investigators found GPS data from Brian's own device that contradicted his account and pointed to a different location in the Sea of Abaco. The Coast Guard seized the Soulmate at sea in a federal interdiction operation off the Florida coast and sent it to Fort Lauderdale for forensic analysis. Evidence is being processed by the FBI at Quantico. The case is being investigated as a possible foreign murder of a U.S. national. A $33,000 thermal camera on the Soulmate — capable of detecting a person in the water — was never activated that night.Lynette's daughter, Karli Aylesworth, has alleged Brian had a history of choking her mother and threatening to throw her overboard. A 2015 Michigan police report documents a domestic incident between the couple. Brian has denied all wrongdoing and has not been charged. Coast Guard divers returned to the Bahamas in June to search the area identified by the GPS data, deploying underwater vehicles, drones, and a cadaver dog. The search has concluded. No body was recovered.

History often remembers elections by who won and who lost. But some elections matter because they reveal deeper changes taking place beneath the surface. The election of 1972 was one of those moments. Many of us consider it to be the landslide that changed America. Those of us who witnessed that time period remember that only four years earlier, America had experienced one of the most turbulent periods in its history. The assassinations of Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, riots in cities across the nation, anti-war protests, and the bitter divisions of the Vietnam era left many Americans wondering what had happened to the country they thought they knew. By 1972, those wounds had not healed. In fact, in many cases, they seemed to have gotten worse. The war continued. Protests continued. The arguments over race, culture, and the future of America continued. Yet something important had changed. Many Americans were no longer simply reacting to the turmoil. They were choosing sides. And in November of 1972, they made their choice overwhelmingly clear. The Long Shadow of 1968 For myself, the years between 1968 and 1972 felt unsettled. In 1968 I had graduated from high school in Houston and in 1969 I had enlisted in the Coast Guard amid one of the most turbulent periods in modern American history. By 1972, many of the arguments that had erupted during the 1960s were still raging. Yet something had changed. Americans were no longer simply arguing about the future. Increasingly, they were choosing sides. The Vietnam War remained a constant presence in American life. Young men continued to receive draft notices. Families continued to watch casualty reports on the evening news. College campuses became centers of protest. Then came May 1970. At Kent State University, National Guard troops opened fire on student demonstrators. I was serving as a radio man at the Coast Guard Radio Station in San Francisco. Emotions ran high as people found out that: Four students were killed. The images shocked the nation. For some Americans, the protests represented necessary dissent. For others, they symbolized disorder and disrespect. The divide widened. The same events were producing entirely different reactions depending on who was watching. Nixon's Appeal Richard Nixon understood something many politicians had missed. Millions of Americans were exhausted. They were tired of violence. Tired of unrest. Tired of uncertainty. In speech after speech, Nixon spoke of what he called the "silent majority." These were Americans who were not marching in the streets, not appearing on television, and not leading protests. They were raising families. Working jobs. Paying mortgages. Watching the evening news and wondering whether anyone was still in control. Nixon promised stability. Order. Gradual change rather than revolution. Whether one agreed with him or not, his message resonated with millions of voters. George McGovern and a Different Vision The Democrats nominated Senator George McGovern. McGovern represented a very different vision of America. He opposed the Vietnam War. He appealed strongly to younger voters, activists, and many who believed the country needed more dramatic social change. His campaign energized parts of the Democratic Party. But it also exposed growing divisions within the coalition that had dominated American politics since Franklin Roosevelt. Many working-class voters who had once been reliable Democrats felt increasingly disconnected from the party's direction. The old alliance was beginning to crack. The Great Realignment Begins The election results were stunning. Nixon carried forty-nine states. McGovern won only Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. Even many states that had supported Democratic candidates for generations voted Republican. It was one of the largest electoral victories in American history. Yet the significance of 1972 was not simply the size of Nixon's victory. The election revealed new political fault lines that would shape the decades ahead. White Southern voters continued moving toward the Republican Party. Many suburban voters became increasingly Republican. Working-class ethnic voters who had once formed the backbone of Democratic strength began drifting away. The New Deal coalition that had dominated American politics for nearly forty years was weakening. A new political map was emerging. The Contradictions Yet even as Nixon celebrated victory, trouble was already brewing. Just months earlier, operatives connected to Nixon's reelection campaign had been caught breaking into Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex. At the time, almost nobody imagined that a minor break-in would eventually bring down a president. After all, at the time, the incident seemed minor. Few Americans paid much attention. The landslide victory overshadowed everything. But history would soon reveal that one of the greatest electoral triumphs in American history carried within it the seeds of one of the greatest political scandals. For the moment, however, most Americans saw only the victory. The scandal was still hidden in the shadows. Closing Looking back, 1972 was more than a landslide election. It was a snapshot of a nation searching for stability after years of upheaval. The arguments that had erupted during the 1960s had not disappeared. But voters were beginning to sort themselves into new political coalitions. The old Democratic dominance was fading. A modern Republican coalition was taking shape. The political map Americans recognize today was beginning to emerge. And while Watergate would soon shake the nation once again, the deeper story of 1972 was not simply about Richard Nixon. It was about millions of Americans trying to decide what kind of country would emerge from the turmoil of the previous decade. In many ways, that debate continues to this day. "At the time, none of us knew how this story was going to end." Looking back, 1972 was more than a landslide election. I still have a Presidential Certificate of Appreciation from those years, signed by Richard Nixon during my service in the Coast Guard. At the time, it was simply a certificate from the Commander-in-Chief. Like most Americans, I had no way of knowing how dramatically the story of that presidency would unfold. History has a way of doing that. We live through events one day at a time, rarely seeing where they will lead. Only years later do we begin to understand how the pieces fit together. And in many ways, the America that emerged from 1972 is still the America we live in today.

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text hereWorld War II continues in Europe and the Pacific, while Bob Dole continues to train on the home front and wonders if he will ever make it overseas, like his younger brother Kenny who is an experienced combat veteran by summer 1944. When Dole gets another chance to attend OCS and become an officer, he jumps at it - and this time he gets a class slot. The Army has a shortage of lieutenants and needs to quickly train more. Dole is happy to replace an LT but never stops to ask why so many need to be replaced.

The United States Coast Guard is the service that has to go out but doesn't have to come back. By July of 1965, the first 82-foot patrol boats were arriving at Da Nang. Most people don't even know the Coast Guard was in Vietnam, and the people who do know tend to picture them somewhere in the background, keeping the shipping lanes clear. During his one-year tour, Woody Barley was definitely not in the background.
Ian discusses a debate among Marlborough councillors over the costs of a posssible new by-law for the local appearance industry, the new Coastguard unit in Marlborough has been funded to build a rescue boat for Havelock, plus the school name change and a trek to a summit for Marlborough Boys' College students and Blenheim teams make a splash in an aquabots competition.
Scott Borgerson entered the Epstein story through his relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, which was initially hidden from public view even as prosecutors later revealed she was married. Borgerson, a tech executive and former Coast Guard officer, was widely identified as Maxwell's secret husband after her arrest, and court reporting indicated the marriage became part of her bail arguments because her lawyers tried to present it as proof she had roots, assets, and reasons not to flee. Before that, Borgerson had publicly denied reports that Maxwell was living with him or that they were romantically involved, even as scrutiny intensified after Epstein's death and Maxwell went underground before her 2020 arrest.The relationship reportedly collapsed once Maxwell was jailed and facing trial. According to media accounts citing people close to Maxwell, Borgerson ended the marriage during a tense jailhouse phone call and had moved on with a yoga teacher, an account most prominently reported after Maxwell's conviction. That detail has the quality of tabloid humiliation, but it also fits the broader pattern of Maxwell's post-arrest isolation: the socialite who once moved through elite circles with Epstein was left fighting for herself, while even the man presented in court as her husband had apparently stepped away. In that sense, Borgerson's role is not central to Epstein's criminal operation, but it is central to the collapse of Maxwell's last public refuge — the private life she tried to keep sealed off from the wreckage around her.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
With two helicopter teams exhausted and out of fuel after hours of failed attempts, the Coast Guard was forced to send out a third and final team to try to pluck the stranded fishermen from the icy waters. With no other pilots left, it fell to base commander Ted LeFeuvre to lead the final crew. And as the high winds and waves of the brutal storm refused to let up, he was forced to take unorthodox and risky measures.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–Supervisor with over 25 years of experience, she has had the opportunity to work in numerous crisis situations where she witnessed firsthand the gravity of trauma and grief. It was in these situations that she realized there were not enough opportunities to heal from trauma and loss after the initial crisis.

She has worked alongside probation and parole officers in the field, with police officers on-scene, supported doctors and nurses in the ED and ICU departments of level-one trauma centers, counseled families of the recently deceased at the moment of loss, and worked next to the U.S. National Guard when assisting during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and Harvey.Amanda's experience with veterans and military service members began early in her career with her graduate internship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Hospital, and later continued with her work as lead trauma therapist for an inpatient military program, Freedom Care, where she worked with active-duty combat military and veterans suffering from PTSD. She is trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET).

In this inspiring episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed welcomes Dr. Robert Yonover — Ph.D. geochemist, volcanologist, North Shore big-wave surfer, and the brilliant mind behind the patented See Rescue Streamer. What started as a terrifying “what if” moment during a single-engine flight over the Pacific — when engine trouble made him realize how nearly impossible it would be to spot someone lost at sea — sparked one of the most practical and powerful survival innovations of our time. Dr. Yonover shares the full story behind the See Rescue Streamer: a simple yet brilliant bright-orange segmented streamer (personal version roughly the size of a cell phone when stowed) that dramatically increases visibility for search-and-rescue teams from miles away, day or night, on land or water. No batteries. No electronics. No chemicals. Just pure, passive, military-grade visibility that stands out against any background. You'll hear how this technology went from a Shark Tank pitch (Season 8) to being adopted by the U.S. military — including the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines — and is now protecting astronauts aboard SpaceX missions. Real stories of lives saved in combat zones, snowy backcountry, and open ocean will move you. Dr. Yonover also opens up about the deeper personal journey: 19 years as a primary caregiver to his paralyzed wife while raising young children and building his company from the ground up — often inventing late into the night. His story is a masterclass in perseverance, purpose-driven innovation, and turning personal adversity into something that saves lives. Whether you're an entrepreneur, inventor, outdoor adventurer, veteran, first responder, or someone navigating your own challenges, this conversation will refocus your mindset on what's possible when you refuse to let obstacles silence your vision. Key themes:Turning fear into life-saving innovationResilience through caregiving and entrepreneurshipThe power of simple, practical solutionsLeaving a legacy that protects othersConnect with Dr. Robert Yonover and get your own See Rescue Streamer at seerescuestreamer.com.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.
1. Jill Biden and President Joe Biden Jill Biden’s remarks about President Biden’s debate performance. She feared he may have been having a stroke, arguing that: Her actions afterward (campaign event, public praise, restaurant visit) contradict that concern. This suggests either exaggeration or dishonesty. Claims that President Biden experienced cognitive decline. Allegations that political leaders and media knowingly concealed this. Media organizations and Democratic officials were aware of Biden’s alleged condition. There was a coordinated effort to hide or minimize it. They frame this as an example of: Political power being prioritized over transparency. A broader credibility problem in U.S. politics. 2. U.S. Shipbuilding and National Security Key points: Heavy reliance on foreign-built ships is presented as a national security risk. A major funding initiative (~$24 billion) for the U.S. Coast Guard is described. Investment includes: New ships and helicopters Arctic icebreakers Shipyard construction (notably in Texas) Claimed benefits: Increased domestic manufacturing Job creation (thousands of jobs) Strategic competition with China and Russia in the Arctic The senator describes: Internal negotiations over where shipbuilding contracts would go (Texas vs. Louisiana). Involvement of the White House and President Trump (in this narrative timeline). Emphasis is placed on: Negotiation strategy Achieving a “win-win” outcome Expanding production beyond initial goals 3. College Sports Crisis and NIL Issues Problems identified: Escalating athlete compensation (tens of millions per team) Transfer portal instability Financial losses for universities Elimination of non-revenue sports (e.g., tennis, Olympic sports) Proposed solution: A bipartisan bill called the “Protect College Sports Act” Supporting arguments: College sports provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged students They promote social unity and personal development Includes testimony from Nick Saban highlighting unsustainable financial trends.
