The Tara Show
Sanctions, Submarines & the Venezuela Oil Trap

The Tara Show

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 7, 2026 8:12


Tara unpacks a geopolitical story the mainstream media refuses to explain clearly. Sanctions against Iran, Russia, and their allies were supposed to choke off terror funding—but instead, loopholes, ignored enforcement, and political corruption turned Venezuela into an illegal oil way station for America's enemies. Now, with a Russian tanker, a shadowing submarine, and court-backed enforcement finally underway, the stakes couldn't be higher. This isn't chaos. It's strategy. And it may reshape global energy and power for decades.

Kipp Lassetter is a former ER physician turned health-tech founder, hotel owner, and gas-station-barbecue legend who now runs RBN, a luxury real estate referral and rewards platform. He's on the show to unpack how he thinks about building and selling businesses, turning "boring" transactions into unforgettable experiences, and why the right real estate agent matters more than any points haul. Susan and Kipp talk about loyalty and rewards.  •    What really connects ER medicine, healthcare IT, hotels, and a gas-station-turned-destination barbecue joint •    Why Kipp bought a "bad" gas station and the mindset he used to turn it into a must-visit moneymaker •    A simple framework for deciding when to hold a business for cash flow versus when to sell and move on •    How RBN quietly taps a standard real estate referral fee and turns it into "guilt-free" reward points for buyers and sellers •    What RBN is learning about keeping rewards meaningful in an era of overcrowded lounges and points inflation •    How AI will supercharge loyalty with hyper-personalized offers and smarter "gamification" of points for both brands and members   *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. RBN turns real estate transactions into meaningful, high-value rewards. Kipp explains that RBN uses the agent referral fee to give buyers and sellers a massive amount of reward points—often enough for a safari, Japan trip, or other bucket-list travel. The model reframes home buying as a chance to earn "guilt-free" experiential rewards rather than just a stressful financial transaction.  2. A great real estate agent matters more than any number of points. A core philosophy of RBN is that no reward can overcome a bad real estate experience. The company puts significant emphasis on vetting and selecting top-performing agents first; the points are "icing on the cake," not the main event.  3. The future of loyalty is hyper-personalized, AI-driven experiences. Kipp predicts that AI will rapidly transform loyalty programs by tailoring offers to individual members—think curated experiences based on personal interests, bucket-list items, and dynamic point optimization. He also notes the challenge of welcoming new members without making elite status feel unattainable.  Kipp Lassetter on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kipp-lassetter-md-1aa499b/ RBN Rewards https://www.rbnrewards.com/ Other Episodes You May Like:  27: Fast Food Sushi with Lenny Moon https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/27 61: Rainy Day Payoff with Peter Van Dorn https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/61 16: Duke Cookie Face with Nick Shelton https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/16

In this special episode, we walk through powerful biblical prayers from Ephesians, Colossians, Thessalonians, and Numbers, explaining why these prayers matter and how they shape a faith-filled life. These aren’t rushed or performative prayers; they are grounding, relational, and deeply personal. Prayer isn’t about getting God to cooperate with our plans—it’s about deepening our relationship with Him. This episode offers peace, clarity, endurance, and blessing as you begin a new season, anchored not in resolutions, but in God’s Word and presence. May God bless you and keep you. May He direct your every step. And May God fill you with His peace as you step into the new year, my friend.

The Baller Lifestyle Podcast Episode 606 Part 2 — “White Christmas Is the Worst Christmas Movie Ever” Host: Brian BecknerCo-Host: Ed Daly Episode Description Merry Christmas… we guess? In this holiday episode of The Baller Lifestyle Podcast, Brian and Ed return from the holiday break to absolutely torch one of the most beloved “classic” Christmas movies of all time — White Christmas (1954). Ed once again does the Lord's work by watching a movie so Brian doesn't have to, and what unfolds is a deeply uncomfortable, wildly problematic, and shockingly un-Christmas breakdown of Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, minstrel songs, buttermilk, liverwurst, and a plot that makes absolutely no sense. Is White Christmas actually a Christmas movie?Why does it open and close with the same song and forget Christmas in between?How did this movie ever become a holiday staple?And why does everyone seem so aggressively miserable? If you've ever argued about whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie, this episode gives you all the ammunition you need. ️ What's Covered in This Episode Why White Christmas may be the worst “Christmas movie” ever made Singing White Christmas in the first 5 minutes… then nowhere else for 2 hours Bing Crosby: war captain, confirmed bachelor, and walking red flag Danny Kaye's extremely confusing energy and dance-heavy runtime Minstrel show references — without irony How White Christmas is basically a sanitized remake of Holiday Inn ‍️ A sad WWII general running a failing Vermont inn Escaping the police by train from Florida to Vermont (sure, why not) ️ Singing about snow… when it isn't snowing Midnight snacks of liverwurst sandwiches and buttermilk A TV plot that somehow saves the entire hotel ‍‍ A suspiciously emotional reunion of army buddies Bing Crosby finally wearing a Santa suit in the last five minutes ️ Fun fact: the snow was made of asbestos Why people still call this a Christmas movie Key Takeaway White Christmas isn't a Christmas movie — it's a two-hour fever dream that happens to use the same song twice and confuse generations of viewers into thinking it's festive.

Drone News: FCC Adds Foreign Drones to The Covered List & DJI Mini 5 Pro Propeller Guard Leaks

Drone News Update

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 26, 2025 7:26


In a twist of events, the FAA added not only DJI and Autel to the FCC-covered list, but also every drone produced in a foreign country, sending shockwaves throughout the industry. The FCC also added UAS Critical components produced in a foreign country to the covered list, including some that don't require FCC approval. A UAS Critical component is defined as Data transmission devices, Communications systems, Flight controllers, Ground control stations and UAS controllers, Navigation systems, Sensors and Cameras, Batteries and Battery Management Systems, and Motors.Before we go any further, I want to reassure you that YES, if you are a civilian flying your drone, you can still buy existing models of your favorite brand, foreign or not, while supplies last. No, your drone is not bricked. Only future models are affected. Being on the FCC Covered List means that the company cannot import, market, and sell NEW products in the United States. The FCC memo does mention a process by which the Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security can make a specific determination that a given UAS does not pose a risk. At the moment, the process to do that is unclear. The news came through a 9-page memo in which the FCC explains that they bypassed the audit requirement that we have been talking about for a year now: "Although section 1709 requires a determination by an “appropriate national security agency,” rather than an Executive Branch interagency body, this determination satisfies the law because several appropriate national security agencies concurred in this determination." It is unclear who was part of the meeting but they indeed determined that "UAS produced in a foreign country pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons and should be included on the FCC's Covered List"They also provide "supporting evidence" as to what the national security threat is, including the fact that "UAS are also playing a critical enabling role on the battlefield in many modern conflicts. In Ukraine and Israel-Gaza, low-cost commercial UAS inflict extensive damage and have caused significant loss of life." and that "Drug Cartels are also reportedly using foreign-produced UAS to smuggle drugs into the United States and carry out attacks." I'm going to read a long paragraph here from the document but I think it' important for you to understand why you can't buy a new DJI drone model to fly with your kid at the park or to photograph a house for a realtor:"Permitting UAS critical components from foreign countries into the United States undermines the resiliency of our UAS industrial base, increases the risk to our national airspace, and creates a potential for large-scale attacks during large gatherings. Even when marketed as “commercial” or “recreational,” certain legal regimes in foreign countries can compel entities to provide real‑time telemetry, imagery, and location data above U.S. soil, or to change the UAS behavior via remote software updates. This poses clear risks that foreign countries could leverage UAS produced with critical components made in a foreign country to engage in intelligence collection, acts of terrorism, attacks on critical infrastructure in the U.S. homeland, or massive supply chain disruption." I'm going to repeat that this decision does not affect existing drones models. If you are working on federally funded projects, you likely may not be able to use a drone or brand that's on the covered list, even if it's an existing drone. It appears blue UAS and those on already approved DOD lists can still be flown.

The drone web: how consumer drones have covered Ukraine's battle lines with fiber optic cable

Endless Thread

There's a lot of drone warfare footage on the internet from Ukraine and Russia. But over the last year, a surprising change has emerged, via photos from the battlefront posted online. It has become clear that a huge part of the drone war, from dropping grenades on soldiers in bunkers, to dropping explosives on infrastructure or airfields, is wired. Those wires are fiber optic cable, stretching from drone operators to the drones, which spool out cable across the ground and over trees along the battlefront. These drones are often single-use rarely returning from the mission they set out on. And the spools of fiber optic cable, stretching over 30-50 kilometers, don't get cleaned up. We explore this evolution of drone use in the conflict - where it came from, and why.
