In the twenty years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, powerful hurricanes such as Sandy, Irma, Maria and Helene have caused immense property destruction and led to thousands of deaths. If Katrina taught us anything, it was to be prepared for the unimaginable. But have we learned that lesson? In this episode, part of a series tied to the 20th anniversary of Katrina, we report from the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans about what we've learned in the years since. Emergency management teams from the Virgin Islands reflect on the two Category 5 hurricanes that hit within just two weeks of each other in 2017, scientists describe how climate change is reshaping hurricanes and our new tools for forecasting them. Meanwhile dark clouds are gathering. As we head into hurricane season, the administration proposes to slash funding for agencies that are tasked with helping us prepare and recover from natural disasters, such as NOAA and the National Weather Service. Guests: Yvette Henry – Community Affairs Coordinator at the Department of Human Services in the US Virgin Islands Abigail Hendricks – Emergency Support Function #6 coordinator on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Meaghan Enright – executive director of the nonprofit, Love City Strong that works on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Rebeca Mueller – Director of media coordination, National Hurricane Conference Michael Brennan – Director, National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida Julie Roberts – Former director of communications and Deputy Chief of Staff for NOAA during the first Trump administration.

Join us as we rollout our newest research study, authored by the Mitchell Institute's Col. Mark A. Gunzinger, USAF (Ret.), Director of Future Concepts and Capability Assessments. The event will feature guest speaker Maj. Gen. Joseph D. Kunkel, Director of Force Design, Integration, and Wargaming, Deputy Chief of Staff for Air Force Futures. The U.S. Air Force is fielding a future counterair force that is sized and shaped to achieve the degree of air superiority required to defeat China in a Pacific conflict. The Air Force is developing collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) as part of that force to achieve its counterair mission requirements. This will require the Air Force and its industry partners to continue to mature technologies that are key to developing CCA that can operate in a highly collaborative fashion with other aircraft. CCA will act as force multipliers that complement—but do not replace—the service's F-22s, F-35s, and future F-47s. This collaborative combination will pose a diverse threat that is more difficult for adversaries to accurately characterize and counter in highly dynamic, time-compressed operational environments. For these advantages to be realized, they'll require adequate personnel, fuel, theater airlift, etc. Logistics are a key requirement to inform key performance parameters, including the mix of CCA the Air Force acquires and how they are employed. This report summarizes insights from the third in a series of Mitchell Institute exercises that explored the potential for CCA with autonomous technologies to perform as counterair force multipliers. Its recommendations are derived from the assessments of teams of Air Force and industry planners, operational experts, and technologists on potential CCA use cases and logistics required to generate CCA sorties during a major Pacific conflict.

Election 45 is in the books. And after 5 and ½ weeks on the trail, Mark Carney is in office. This time, as an elected Prime Minister.I have a conversation today with one of the key players that helped him navigate that path. For both the Liberal Leadership race and the ensuing election. My aim, for the next 60 minutes or so, will be to get an insider's view of the whole story ... with Braeden Caley!When Prime Minister Carney was first sworn in back in March, Braeden was named Deputy Chief of staff in the PMO. On the campaign, he served as National Campaign co-director and senior advisor. He's a long-time Liberal operative, the Senior Director of Comms for the Liberal Party, playing key roles in the 2015, 2019 and 2021 elections. And if all of that weren't enough, Braeden was also President and CEO of Canada 2020, a leading progressive think tank in Canada.So today: Who is Mark Carney? What motivates him? What does he care about? And then the shape of the campaign itself ... we'll talk about what Team Carney expected to happen. And what surprised them. The 51 st State factor. Was it a welcome intrusion, from a purely political point of view? And then, the upcoming minority parliament. How is the Prime Minister going to approach achieving his agenda?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

It's Good Friday, April 18th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus and Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists sentence Christians for Bible distribution Chinese Communists gave nine Christians prison sentences and large fines for re-selling and distributing Bibles in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia located in North China, reports International Christian Concern. On April 10th, the religious freedom magazine Bitter Winter reported their prison sentences were four years long and their fines ranged from $68 to more than $136,000. The sentences stem from charges and arrests in 2021, where the Christians bought legally published Bibles in Nanjing but ended up re-selling and distributing them at much lower prices as they wanted to share God's Word as a means of evangelism. These Chinese Christians will be inspired by 2 Corinthians 4:16-17. It says, “Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” Salvadoran President: Deported man will not be sent back to US When Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele came to the White House on April 14th, CNN host Kaitlan Collins asked a question about an illegal alien El Salvadoran man from Maryland, named Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been deported back to his country on March 15th. TRUMP: “Let's hear the question from this very low rated anchor.” COLLINS: “Do you plan to return him?” To be clear, Garcia was arrested in Baltimore, Maryland on March 12 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Attorney General Pam Bondi explained that he is a member of MS-13, a gang, which Trump has now designated a terrorist organization. BONDI: “In 2019, two courts, an immigration court and an appellate immigration court, ruled that he was a member of MS-13 and he was illegally in our country.” In response to Kaitlan Collins' question, Salvadoran President Bukele laughed, reports The Epoch Times. BUKELE: “The question is preposterous. How could I smuggle a terrorist to the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States.” Later, outside the White House, Stephen Miller, Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff, schooled reporters who seem to be more concerned with illegal alien MS-13 gang members than they are with the laws of our country. MILLER: “A judge has said he must be deported from the country. He has no right to remain here any longer. He must be removed from the country. So, his only options are to be deported to his home country or another country. That's it. There's no other option. He doesn't get to stay here. He doesn't get to live here. He has no future here. He has no right to be here. He's an illegal alien. “So, when you keep saying ‘return' because you've been spun up by the Open Borders advocates, you all seem to be operating under the illusion that he would be able to come to United States and just continue to live here illegally. That's not an option available to him. His only choices in life are to live in El Salvador or to live in another country. That's it. There's no other option, legally or otherwise, because he came to our country illegally. Do you understand that?” Trump administration examines negative impacts over "transgendering" The Trump administration ordered the National Institutes of Health to study the effects of so-called “gender transitioning.” A leaked memo indicates the agency must investigate the “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children and adults. In particular, the Trump administration wants to identify negative impacts on physical and mental health caused by such practices. The investigation will also look into “regret and detransition” by people who have pretended to be the opposite sex. Trump hosted an Easter prayer service On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump hosted an Easter prayer service dinner at the White House, reports The Associated Press. He affirmed the ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Listen. TRUMP: “Nearly 2,000 years ago, during the sacred week, the living Son of God entered Jerusalem in triumph. Soon after, the Savior of mankind, who brought truth and light into the world, was betrayed, arrested and tried, beaten and nailed to a cross and crucified. “For our sake, He gave up His life and, as the very great Reverend Billy Graham once said, ‘God proved His love on the cross. When Christ hung and bled and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.' “The death and resurrection of Jesus are the essence of the Christian faith. Whether rich or poor, healthy or sick, young or old, or in times of peace or war, Christians everywhere find solace and hope in the knowledge that Christ died for them and that they could be united with Him in Heaven. And that's what we want. That's what we all want.” Luke 24:6 says, “He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee.” 2 killed, 6 wounded at Florida State University shooting On Thursday, two people were killed at Florida State University in Tallahassee and six others were wounded by Phoenix Ikner, a 20-year-old political science major, as he opened fire from an orange Hummer. The son of a Leon County Sheriff's deputy, he used his mother's handgun in the campus rampage, reports the Miami Herald. Appearing on Fox News Channel, FSU student Owen Girard described what he witnessed. GIRARD: “Sounded like a jackhammer, of these repetitive beats going on in the distance. Thought it was construction. Next thing you know, you have all of these students running at you, yelling that there's a shooter, so you just drop everything and run. That was our experience. We ran. We hid on the outskirts of campus.” Florida State University President Rick McCullough spoke at the press conference. McCULLOUGH: “This is a tragic day for Florida State University. We are absolutely heartbroken by the violence that occurred on our campus earlier today. Two have died. Five other innocents are being treated for their injuries. We're working to support the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this traumatic event.” Texas school choice passes the state House Texas lawmakers are one step closer to approving a $1 billion private school voucher program hours after passing a bill to allocate $7.7 billion in funding for public schools, reports The Christian Post. The voucher proposal, known as Senate Bill 2, passed the Texas House of Representatives on Thursday by a largely party-line vote of 85-63, in which all Democrats and two Republicans voted against it. Illinois bill hostile to homeschooling dies for now And finally, an Illinois bill, hostile to homeschoolers as well as private schools, missed a procedural deadline in April, reported Capitol News Illinois. If it became law, homeschoolers could face penalties for not filling out government paperwork. However, the bill's main sponsor, Democratic State Rep. Terra Howard, has requested an extension to keep it on life support. On March 19th, 8,000 homeschooling parents and kids traveled to the Illinois state capitol where they packed the committee room and extended into the hallways and the Capitol Rotunda, reports HSLDA.

This week the U.S. Space Force let a linguistic genie out of the bottle. The newest service branch published a 22-page guide for planners called “Space Warfighting”, that ditches soft elocution and takes up words like “destroy”, “terrestrial strike”, and “counterattack”. What does this mean for culture; training and education; research, development, testing and evaluation (RDT&E); acquisition; and the Space Force's place in the Joint Force? In addition to a roundtable discussion with Lt. Gen. Shawn Bratton, Deputy Chief of Space Operations, Strategy, Plans, Programs and Requirements, Laura Winter speaks with Charles Galbreath, Senior Resident Fellow for Space Studies at the Mitchell Institute's Spacepower Advantage Center of Excellence.

//The Wire//2300Z April 17, 2025////PRIORITY////BLUF: MASS SHOOTING ATTACK AT FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY, MULTIPLE CASUALTIES REPORTED. PLANE HIJACKED IN BELIZE, HIJACKER SHOT DEAD BY PASSENGER. DNI DECLASSIFIES DOCUMENT OUTLINING DOMESTIC DISARMAMENT INITIATIVES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Belize: A man with a knife attempted to hijack a small Tropicair flight (registration: V3-HIG) this morning. During the regional flight, authorities state that American passenger Akinyela Sawa Taylor produced a knife and attempted to seize control of the aircraft. The hijacker's demands included transit out of the country, and enough fuel to do so. In the ensuing fray, multiple passengers were stabbed, with at least one passenger receiving severe lacerations. After some time, the pilots were able to barricade themselves in the cockpit to conduct an emergency landing at Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport. After the aircraft came to a halt on the runway, a brief hostage situation ensued before Taylor was shot dead by another passenger onboard the aircraft who had a firearm.AC: While it may seem odd for a passenger to have a gun on a plane, this was a local charter flight and the passenger who shot the hijacker was properly licensed as per the local police commissioner. Additionally, local authorities state that the hijacker was illegally in the country, and had been denied entry just a few days prior. -HomeFront-Florida: An active shooter was reported at Florida State University this afternoon. Initial reports indicate that two separate gunmen conducted a complex small arms (SMARMS) attack at the FSU Student Union. As of this report, 2x victims are deceased, and 4x others are wounded. Reports have varied throughout the day, however many locals suggest that one of the shooters was neutralized at the scene by police, and the second shooter was taken into custody. One of the shooters has been identified as Phoenix Eichner, the son of a local Sheriff's Deputy who used his parent's service weapons in the attack.AC: This incident could meet the technical criteria for a Complex Coordinated Attack (CCA). For the past several days the Tallahassee Police Department has been warning locals of a training exercise that would involve loud explosions and sounds of gunfire. This exercise was scheduled for the exact time the shooting occurred. If this timing was deliberately chosen, this indicates more deliberate planning efforts on the part of the shooters, who likely sought to use the confusion of a training exercise to increase the effectiveness of their attack. Since one of the shooters has been identified as the son of a Sheriff's Deputy, he would probably have had even more knowledge of this drill taking place. Choosing to conduct an attack during a training exercise would have increased confusion on the part of first responders, maybe even delayed a response time, and would have reduced the number of people calling 911, since most people would have thought that gunshots would be related to the drill, and not a legitimate terror attack.Additionally, some of the videos and photos of the aftermath that are circulating social media right now are exceptionally anger-inducing for reasons that would not be wise to comment on at the moment.Virginia: Throughout the defense community, several personnel shakeups have taken place at the Pentagon over the past few days. So far, the list of personnel placed on suspension is as follows:1. Colin Carroll, Chief of Staff for the Deputy Secretary of Defense2. Dan Caldwell, Senior Advisor to the SECDEF3. Darin Selnick, Deputy Chief of StaffAll three have been placed on administrative leave following developments in investigations pertaining to various leaks of defense policy.AC: At the moment, it's not really clear as to what is going on.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a flat 10% tariff on imports entering the United States, which will remain in effect for at least 90 days. The administration reports that over 75 countries have expressed interest in initiating trade talks. However, China is the exception; products imported from China are now subject to a 145% tariff. Karl Rove, a FOX News Contributor and former Deputy Chief of Staff to George W. Bush, joins to discuss these tariffs, the concerns some individuals have about their impact, and the administration's efforts to appeal to working-class voters. First Lady Melania Trump recently took part in a roundtable event at the Capitol to support the ‘Take It Down Act'. This legislation aims to prohibit the intentional publication of sexually exploitative images, including AI-generated deepfakes. An increasing number of states are implementing their own laws to tackle this growing problem. Hayley McNamara, Senior Vice President at the nonprofit National Center on Sexual Exploitation, joins to explain the ‘Take It Down Act' and emphasize how easily individuals can become targets of such exploitation.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a flat 10% tariff on imports entering the United States, which will remain in effect for at least 90 days. The administration reports that over 75 countries have expressed interest in initiating trade talks. However, China is the exception; products imported from China are now subject to a 145% tariff. Karl Rove, a FOX News Contributor and former Deputy Chief of Staff to George W. Bush, joins to discuss these tariffs, the concerns some individuals have about their impact, and the administration's efforts to appeal to working-class voters. First Lady Melania Trump recently took part in a roundtable event at the Capitol to support the ‘Take It Down Act'. This legislation aims to prohibit the intentional publication of sexually exploitative images, including AI-generated deepfakes. An increasing number of states are implementing their own laws to tackle this growing problem. Hayley McNamara, Senior Vice President at the nonprofit National Center on Sexual Exploitation, joins to explain the ‘Take It Down Act' and emphasize how easily individuals can become targets of such exploitation.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Alright, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! We assembled The Chiefs for a timely pod to discuss campaigning while governing! Typically with The Chiefs, we discuss issues from the perspective of people who think about them NOT as campaigners do, i.e. what might be ideal in a political sense, but rather, what's possible to deliver in a governing sense.But because these guys are 3 of the best political minds in the country, and we're right in the middle of Campaign 45, I want to change it up a bit. We'll spend about half our time today talking about how each of them would be advising the various campaigns given the current state of play. And then, for Part 2, I want to cover how they'd deal with managing a PMO or leader's office in a campaign like this one with actual news in it, i.e. Trump. How do you function juggling campaigning and daily governing in challenging times? What's the relationship with the bureaucracy?You know them, three former Chiefs of Staff to some of Canada's most accomplished heads of government:Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper, and central to the founding of the CPC. Now … Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary.Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin. Now ... the newly installed EVP and Chief Strategic Affairs Officer at AECON.Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta, Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan, one of the architects of Jack Layton's Orange Wave. Now ... he's a founding partner at GT&co.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Today is Tuesday, March 25. Here are some of the latest headlines from the Fargo, North Dakota area. InForum Minute is produced by Forum Communications and brought to you by reporters from The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead and WDAY TV. For more news from throughout the day, visit InForum.com.
We open the show with the topic of how the Left has organized itself to go after Tesla and seem to be okay with the idea of “by any means necessary.” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is a lone voice of sanity, saying destruction of property is wrong. Kevin O'Leary made the same comment, suggesting law-breakers need to be made into an example. Shermichael Singleton added that Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) was acting like a moron to delight in Tesla stock dropping at the hands of their coordinated attacks. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) was also disappointed in Walz and in the Democrat party. In the meantime, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was on a Leftist video call with 100's, helping to coordinate simultaneous attacks on 500+ Tesla locations/targets on March 29. As a member of Congress, she said all she wanted for her birthday on that day was “for Elon Musk to be taken down.” We then look at the transcript of the hearing in Judge Boasberg's courtroom. Seems the DOJ was supposed to read his mind and should have known how he was going to rule before he even held the hearing. I guess it's cool now to admit he is a partisan, activist hack who does not care about the rule of law. On the flip side, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller commented on how the Trump team, while constantly attacked with lawfare, have been sticking to the rule of law. AG Pam Bondi issued a statement saying that the removal of designated foreign terrorists is not under the purview of district court judges. WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also discussed how it's been obvious how Democrats have been “judge shopping” in an effort to slow-walk the President's agenda. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spent more time today illustrating how to resolve the issue with these activist judges. It's a great three minutes of history, current events and an application of the Constitution. Seems Mark Cuban was once all for the reduction of personnel and waste in the government. That was all the way back in 2017. We wonder what's changed so much since then? Unhinged and dangerous founder of The Lincoln Project, Rick Wilson has been banned from X for 30 days for promoting acts of violence and terror against Elon Musk. And we close with some wise words from Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Karl Rove, former Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush, author of The Triumph of William McKinley, Wall Street Journal columnist, and Fox News contributor, joined The Guy Benson Show to discuss Nancy Pelosi's light ribbing of Chuck Schumer after he voted with the GOP to keep the government open--mirroring her criticism of President Biden before his dropout in the 2024 election. Rove also weighed in on the growing disarray within the Democratic Party, as many members appear rudderless following their loss in November. Plus, Guy and Rove explained why Democrats continue to double down on extraordinarily unpopular issues and positions. Listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Where's the fire? The growing calls for stronger opposition to President Trump's extreme agenda, after Senate Democrats help pass the Republicans' continuing resolution. I'll discuss the real cost of capitulating to Republicans to keep the government open with Andrew Desiderio, of Punchbowl News, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Nancy Pelosi, Drew Hamill, and economic columnist Heather Long of the Washington Post. Vengeance is his: Trump brings his revenge tour to the Department of Justice, calling out his critics by name and even suggesting they should be jailed. I'll ask Rep. Jamie Raskin why he called Trump's speech a "desecration" of the department's values. And a run for the history books: Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist will talk to me about his bid to be the next governor of Michigan and the first Black person to hold the position, plus how he plans to flip a state that Donald Trump narrowly won. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

24 years of combination experience. Deputy Chief for Haltom City Fire/Rescue in Texas. Growing up Charlie always wanted to be a Firefighter. His dream position was riding Officer for a Ladder company. Charlie got his start with Newport Beach Fire in California and worked there for 20 years rising to the rank of Captain before deciding to move to Texas where he ultimately took the Deputy Chief position for Haltom. Throughout his career Charlie has held himself to standards higher than his department's expectations. If you are an individual who carries themselves in that regard it's important to realize others around you may not agree with your ways and that's ok. You can't force others to view the fire service the way you do. One of my favorite quotes from Chief is “ You can't expect somebody to out perform the department's minimum expectations.” IG: dall.charlie

27 years of combination experience. Battalion Chief with Sevierville Fire Department and Deputy Chief for White Pine Volunteer Fire Department in Tennessee. Josh is a Chief whose mindset centers all around leading by example in everything you do. The higher the rank doesn't mean the less you do. Josh completed the Georgia Smoke Diver program at 41 becoming the 9th candidate out of Tennessee to do so is a Chief I'd certainly want to work for. But Josh doesn't let that go to his head. He still strives to remember what being a Firefighter is and doesn't want the cob-webs to cover his turnout gear. IG: joshsinard

Democrats told Black voters Trump would cancel Black History Month and would prove to be a president marred by empty promises if they elected him. Yesterday proved otherwise at the White House. Trump trolls the left with ease as his Commerce Secretary gushes with tax-cutting joy over the President's plan to MAGA for all of us. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller offers a civic lesson to triggered journos and the $2 billion in Biden's EPA slush fund earmarked for Stacey Abrams pales in comparison to this newest reveal. BUCKLE UP.

Two news babes at CNN reveal in bright detail the degree of their political activism, but Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett call out their bias and skewer them with reality. And they're both smiling as they do it. Trump and Musk call out the fake news and applaud the people for seeing through the propaganda. A top prosecutor gets the axe at the DOJ for failing to comply with a Trump executive order and 900 lawyers sign a letter bemoaning DOGE and the Make America Great Again agenda.
Harry talks to Kristy Greenberg, former Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division in the Southern District of New York, about the burgeoning scandal involving the resignation of the acting United States Attorney and multiple other officials in her office and at Main Justice. The resignations all come in response to an improper command by the acting deputy Attorney General, Emile Bove, to dismiss charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, notwithstanding that there is no question about the righteousness – i.e. the solid facts and law –that undergird the prosecution. Through Greenberg's experience in the Southern District and Harry's at Main Justice, they are able to piece together what has happened behind the scenes to date and what may transpire in the future, and all of it pits Bove, Bondi and Trump on the wrong side of the rule of law and Sassoon and Company on the right side. This is not going away.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
