Today's Headlines: Congress was quite busy. Rand Paul turned the Senate into a personal vendetta circus, dragging Anthony Fauci in for a hearing where he pleaded the Fifth almost 100 times — because the entire point was to find something to criminally prosecute him for despite Biden's preemptive pardon — and Paul is now threatening to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress for asserting his constitutional right. Todd Blanche's attorney general confirmation vote was cancelled because Thom Tillis and John Cornyn want the bare minimum assurance that he won't create Trump's insurrectionist slush fund or give Trump permanent IRS immunity — things Blanche won't promise — though both senators still ultimately want to vote for him, so there really is no point to this. Jay Clayton, who has zero intelligence or national security experience, was confirmed as Director of National Intelligence anyway, because experience is optional now. On the war beat, Iran launched a ballistic missile strike on a US base in Jordan, Trump told Fox News the US would "beat the fucking shit out of them," the US and Saudi Arabia jointly struck Iranian-aligned militants in Iraq, and then Iranian drones set two ships on fire in an Egyptian port in what Iranian sources called a demonstration that "global shipping and energy supplies could be more deeply disrupted." Trump called it "more of the same" and said "it's our turn to hit them," he must think war works like the game Battleship. In election interference news, Elon Musk is reviving his America PAC for the midterms after spending $250 million to elect Trump in 2024, with plans for door-knocking, digital ads, and direct mail — and has reportedly been talking to Trump's team about how he can be most helpful. And finally, The Federal Reserve voted 9-3 to keep interest rates between 3.5 and 3.75%, with the three dissenting votes wanting a rate increase due to persistent inflation, which is not the news anyone wanted.

For the past 12 years, Karen Cooper has had a front-row seat to the experiences of tens of thousands of women in real estate through her community, Empowering Women in Real Estate®. And across every level of success, certain patterns continue to appear. Every woman questions herself. Every woman loses clients, makes mistakes, and considers quitting at some point. The women with the most staying power are not the ones who avoid hard seasons, but the ones who learn how to recover, evolve, and build their businesses in a way that can evolve with them. And so much more. In this special anniversary episode, Karen shares what 12 years of Empowering Women in Real Estate® has taught her about mindset, consistency, comparison, relationships, ego, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who expand what you believe is possible. You'll hear why there is no substitute for doing the work, why connecting with people matters more than your CRM or branding, and why there is no single right way to build a successful real estate business. Most of all, this episode is a reminder that you are not the only one navigating doubt, disappointment, change, or uncertainty—and you are allowed to create a business that supports the life you want now.   Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

President Trump wants to add an airport in Northern Virginia to his list of renovation projects. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

Cam Cooksey is running on low energy and coffee (with Good Brew stirred in) after a week of manual labor, but the good vibes build as the show goes. The big personal moment: Cam and Jackie saw President Trump in person in Marietta, Georgia, at a rally for Georgia Republican candidates, and Cam shares what that was like from the floor. From there it's his usual walk through Trump's Truth Social, with his signature positive spin and plenty of tangents. Expect Dover Air Force Base honoring fallen heroes, peace through strength, the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian oil money, and a rabbit hole into the Dulles brothers and CIA history. He touches Canada trade drama, a Putin delineation, and closes with a nostalgic Ali versus Foreman clip Trump posted, unpacking what he thinks it signals. Faith, freedom, and coexistence anchor it all. More funny X finds promised next week.

In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast, Karen sits down with style coach Afton Porter for a conversation that goes far beyond fashion. Together, they explore how style impacts confidence, presence, personal branding, and the way women show up in their businesses — especially in midlife. Afton shares why the clothes in your closet may no longer reflect the woman you are today, how color and presentation influence first impressions, and why becoming unforgettable starts with feeling aligned, authentic, and confident in your own skin. If you have ever looked in your closet and felt like nothing works anymore, or wondered how to show up more confidently in your business without pretending to be someone you're not, this episode is for you.   You can get Afton's freebie at https://www.HouseofIconicStyle.com/Iconic    Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

Czabe is joined by PAUL CHARCHIAN who had a nightmare airline delay story for the ages, and a harshly critical review of a supposedly good cheesesteak joint in the City of Brotherly Love. People now want to go places to get out of the digital hellscape. Ticket prices are responding accordingly. Sony getting rid of physical video game media. The Odyssey is going to be awesome, with two big exceptions. The "other" Air & Space Museum at Dulles is even better than the one downtown. British Open week, and Czabe explains why he wasn't sad that Tom Watson choked one away at Turnberry.

What if one of the biggest factors impacting your business isn't your marketing, your scripts, or your systems—but your nervous system? In this powerful conversation, Karen sits down with psychologist, trauma specialist and neuroscientist Dr. Monique Thompson to explore how stress, anxiety and an overwhelmed nervous system quietly shape the way we lead, communicate, make decisions and show up for our clients. Drawing from more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Monique shares practical, science-backed tools that can help you regulate your nervous system in just minutes—without expensive programs, complicated routines or adding more to your already full plate. Together, they discuss: Why women often carry stress differently—and what to do about it The surprising connection between your nervous system and your business performance How social media and constant input teach us to disconnect from ourselves A simple five-minute practice that can help you quiet your mind and access your own inner wisdom Why self-acceptance isn't self-excusal—and how embracing who you are changes everything How to "outnumber the not helpful" by building healthier support systems Why the most important tool you'll ever need is one you've had your entire life: yourself Whether you're feeling burned out, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply ready to lead your business from a healthier place, this conversation offers practical hope and simple tools you can begin using today. This isn't just a conversation about mental health. It's a conversation about becoming the kind of leader—and woman—you were created to be.   Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

Danny Sheehan is one of the most consequential public interest attorneys of the last century. His cases include the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, the Karen Silkwood case, the Iran-Contra investigation, and decades of work at the intersection of government secrecy and the public's right to know. He is co-founder of the Romero Institute and the New Paradigm Institute, and a leading voice in the push for congressional UAP disclosure. Today, he stands at the center of what may be the most consequential question humanity has ever faced: the implications of a potential extraterrestrial or extradimensional non-human presence here on Earth. Having spent over 50 years litigating against government secrecy and winning, in this discussion, Danny connects the JFK assassination, the Vatican's role in the 1933 Italy UFO crash, the founding of the CIA, and the architecture of Brown Brothers Harriman to the UFO cover-up we're living through today, and lays out the concrete constitutional path to disclosure. Big thanks to Jamie Billings for helping make this interview happen, and to Danny and his wife for their time and generosity. The New Paradigm Institute, founded by acclaimed civil rights and Constitutional attorney Danny Sheehan, is dedicated to advocating for the public release of information held by the government surrounding the issue of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), or what was commonly known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, Karen is joined by Marcella Oakley and Elia Alfonso for a powerful conversation on presence, confidence, safety, emotional regulation, and leading through high-pressure moments. Marcella and Elia bring their backgrounds in law enforcement, hostage negotiation, crisis management, defensive tactics, and real estate to talk about the tools women need but are rarely taught in this industry. From walking into a room with confidence, to managing client emotions, to regulating yourself before reacting, this episode is a reminder that presence is not about being loud or aggressive. It is about being grounded, aware, and able to lead.

What if the key to growing your business isn't another marketing tactic, but simply being more of yourself? In this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate®, I'm joined by speaker, coach, and personal branding expert Krista Demcher for a powerful conversation about authenticity, visibility, and why you are your most important business asset. Krista shares how her own journey from struggling salesperson to successful entrepreneur taught her that people don't connect with perfection. They connect with real people. Together, we discuss why so many women in real estate hold themselves back from showing up online, how to build confidence in selling yourself without feeling salesy, and why your unique personality is actually your greatest marketing advantage. We also dive into the role of storytelling, personal branding, social media, and the importance of embracing what makes you different instead of trying to blend in. If you've ever felt uncomfortable promoting yourself, struggled with what to post on social media, or worried about being judged for showing up online, this episode is for you. In this episode, we discuss: Why authenticity matters more than ever in an AI-driven world How to sell yourself without feeling pushy or salesy The connection between personal branding and client trust Why trying to appeal to everyone often appeals to no one The power of sharing your story Krista's framework of Style, Stance, and Story Why "real beats perfect" every time Krista is also one of the keynote speakers for our 6th Annual Empowering Women in Real Estate® Conference, so this episode is a great chance to get a preview of her talk!   Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, The Global Story is this week exploring the surprising and often hidden ways the US has shaped the modern world. President Donald Trump's attempts at regime change in Iran and Venezuela, controversial as they are, reflect the US's long history of using both military and covert operations to achieve its goals abroad. One of the forefathers of this approach to foreign intervention was Allen Dulles, the first civilian head of the Central Intelligence Agency, who used undercover – and often morally dubious – tactics to topple global leaders deemed unfriendly to America's interests. On today's show, Tim Weiner, author of Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA and The Mission: the CIA in the 21st Century, joins Tristan and Asma to explain how Dulles' legacy played out through the ‘War on Terror' and how it has helped shaped today's US foreign policy.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Mel K about her book Infiltration Instead Of Invasion. Mel argues that America was not conquered by a traditional invasion, but infiltrated through finance, intelligence, international institutions, NGOs, academia, and the post World War II global architecture. They discuss JFK's warning, the Federal Reserve, the Dulles brothers, the CIA, the Bank of International Settlements, Bretton Woods, USAID, NATO, the UN, Trump, sovereignty, and the future of freedom.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

This week we stay on Dorothy Kilgallen in the weeks before November 8, 1965, tracing the files, the trips, and the people who disappeared around her. She finished the Murder One preface on a Sunday night and was dead by Monday morning. She handed a backup of her JFK chapter to a friend who died the next day.  Was Ron Pataki a hotel-suite lover, or a CIA handler from the Guatemala coup keeping watch? [04:39] – Murder One, the $10,000 advance, and the chapter that never made the book. [07:48] – The preface handed off Sunday night, dead by Monday morning. [10:14] – Mark Sinclair, the locked file, and "the case of a lifetime." [17:07] – Florence Pritchett Smith, the backup chapter, and a cerebral hemorrhage one day later. [30:01] – The New Orleans trip and "don't tell anyone you were here with me." [33:11] – The second trip that never happened and the cloak-and-dagger source. [41:28] – 544 Camp Street: Banister, Ferrie, Bringuier, and Oswald's leaflets. [47:31] – Ron Pataki, the Regency suite, and the 3 a.m. phone calls. [57:48] – PBSUCCESS, the Dulles brothers, and the United Fruit Company. [01:17:26] – The hotel-key humiliation broadcast over the studio PA. [01:20:55] – The last night, the open door, and a bedroom she never slept in.   Want more?

On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down with Mel K to discuss the post-WWII secrets they never wanted Americans to learn and how the years 1944–1954 may explain much of what we are seeing today. From the Dulles brothers and the rise of the CIA to international banking, USAID, NATO, regime change operations, JFK's warnings, Eisenhower's military-industrial complex speech, and the long-term infiltration of America's institutions, this conversation examines how America may have been betrayed from within. Mel also shares insights from her book, Infiltration Instead of Invasion: America Betrayed 1944–1954, and why this hidden history matters now more than ever.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.comTo Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900FOR ALL GRAPHICS USED OR AVAILABLE FROM MEL:► Text MEL to 40509(Message and data rates may apply.

On this episode of Empowering Women in Real Estate® - The Podcast, I'm sharing a very personal reflection as I approach my 53rd birthday. For a long time, I thought success at this stage of life would mean having it all figured out. More confidence. Less pressure. More freedom. More certainty. But what I've learned is that success in midlife often looks very different than what we imagined in our 20s and 30s. In this episode, I'm talking about:   burnout and recovery the pressure of social media and constant industry noise achievement vs. fulfillment sustainability in business and life health, boundaries, and authenticity evolving instead of holding on creating freedom intentionally learning to stop trying to please everyone and what success actually means to me now at 53   This is an honest conversation about midlife, growth, and building a business and life that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.

Between Arsenal's recent win of the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years, and the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, it is the year of Championship Hanaa. She lives within earshot of the Emirates Stadium in Islington, her son knows every chant and every stat, and the neighborhood has been in full kit ever since. Hanna is also headed to Miami this summer for a World Cup match, though she'd have preferred the Egypt v. Iran fixture in Seattle — her kids are still in school. And the wins keep on coming: On June 3rd, she'll be co-hosting the 7th edition of the Middle East Sports Investment Forum in London. Before the main segment, the hosts share a piece of listener feedback that landed: a message on LinkedIn, from a listener who said The Twenty30 "was one of the most valuable sources of information they had when deciding whether to accept a job offer in Riyadh." That's the whole point of the show, and the hosts don't take it lightly.  Then, Lucien does a deep dive on Riyadh Air. Lucien frames it personally first: he's taken six flights in the last six weeks, lives an hour and a half from Dulles in D.C., and values a direct flight more than almost anything else in travel. Saudia currently holds the only nonstop service from Washington and New York into Riyadh, which should make it the obvious choice — except that Saudia's in-flight internet on long-haul routes is essentially non-functional. He's been routing through Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Dubai instead, noting that all three of those hubs have been noticeably quiet during the conflict. Every time he boards, the thought is the same: where is Riyadh Air? The answer is: closer than it looks. Riyadh Air received its GACA operating approval in February 2025 and operated its first flight — an invite-only Riyadh to London Heathrow service using a wet-leased Oman Air 787-9 — in April 2025. The commercial launch has been held up not by Riyadh Air but by Boeing. Seven fully built Riyadh Air 787-9s are currently sitting at Boeing's Charleston, South Carolina factory awaiting certification, with an eighth still on the final assembly line. The first A321neo delivery is expected in Q4 2026, with the 787 Dreamliners to follow. In January 2026, Riyadh Air locked in Neo Space Group as its WiFi provider for the A321neo fleet — Skywaves connectivity, up to 300 Mbps, free for Sphere loyalty members — layered on top of an existing Viasat contract for the 787 fleet that was signed in April 2025. The internet situation, in other words, is going to be the opposite of Saudia's. Qatar Airways already has Starlink and Lucien describes it as faster than his home connection. That's the bar -- let all airlines seek to best it! The initial network was leaked via Airport Coordination Limited and shows 15 destinations: Amman, Bangkok, Cairo, Dubai, Islamabad, Jakarta, Jeddah, Kuala Lumpur, Lahore, London Heathrow, Madrid, Manchester, Manila, Mumbai, and Paris. Washington, DC is not on the list :( Three of those routes — Madrid, Manchester, and Jakarta — would be nonstop firsts from Riyadh. Jeddah, Madrid, and Manchester were officially confirmed via Riyadh Air's social media on April 20th. In early May, the airline formally applied to the US Department of Transportation for a foreign air carrier permit with a request for expedited clearance — so DC may not be far behind. On May 19th, public ticket sales opened for the daily Riyadh to London Heathrow service launching July 1st. The aircraft will have four classes: Business Elite (four first-class suites on the first aircraft), Business (24 seats), Premium Economy (39 seats), and Economy. Hanaa flags premium economy as the sleeper feature. Qatar Airways doesn't offer it. British Airways isn't flying to Saudi at the moment. For families, or for anyone who can't justify business class on a personal trip, it fills a genuine gap. Lucien agrees — he's a last-minute booker and business class prices close to departure get punishing.  On the competitive landscape: Singapore Airlines announced four-times-weekly nonstop service from Singapore to Riyadh on the A350-900, scheduled to start June 2nd before being delayed by the conflict. That announcement read like a signal — Singapore Airlines effectively saying it wasn't going to let Riyadh Air own the premium international corridor into Saudi unchallenged. European carriers largely exited during the hostilities; Lufthansa pulled Lucien off a connecting flight in late January, rerouting him through London and adding a full day to his journey. British Airways still isn't flying to Saudi. The supply contraction has pushed prices up significantly on what routes remain. Riyadh Air stepping into this environment — with new aircraft, working internet, and routes that don't yet exist nonstop from Riyadh — is well-positioned (if it can seize the timing of this moment).  The workforce story is its own headline. Riyadh Air has received two million (two million!) applications across its hiring portals.  The hosts close the segment by zooming out. Airlines are structurally brutal businesses. What gives Riyadh Air a real edge, at least at launch, is route exclusivity and limited competition into Riyadh. As long as pricing is in range, travelers choose the direct. That simple fact, combined with Vision 2030's tourism and modernity goals, makes Riyadh Air something bigger than just an airline. King Khalid International Airport remained one of the most operationally open airports in the region during the conflict. The infrastructure is there. The aircraft are nearly there. Riyadh Air is coming. The episode wraps with a brief detour into domestic flying in Saudi — the Riyadh to Jeddah corridor, the high proportion of passengers in Ihram performing Umrah year-round, and genuine praise for Saudia's cabin crew and their quietly impressive ability to reshuffle seating at boarding so that women aren't seated next to unrelated men. Seamless, fast, and genuinely underappreciated. The one criticism of Saudia that neither host will let go: the internet!

The Space Show Presents ISDC 2026 with Rod Pyle, Aggie Kobrin & Dr. Pascal Lee, Tuesday, 5-12-26Quick Summary:The Space Show hosted a discussion about the upcoming ISDC (International Space Development Conference) in McLean, Virginia, featuring Aggie Kobrin, Rod Pyle, Pascal Lee, Sherry Bell, and select members of The Space Show Wisdom Team. The participants discussed the conference's location, schedule, key speakers including Apollo astronaut Jack Schmidt, and various tracks covering topics from AI in Space to Mars exploration. Pascal explained the current technical readiness levels for Mars missions, noting that while conceptually feasible, reliable systems for a round-trip mission remain challenging. The group also discussed the conference's networking opportunities, student participation, and various awards to be presented, including the new NSS Apollo Legacy Award to Jack Schmidt. The conversation concluded with reflections on the evolution of space technology and the conference's role in bringing together diverse perspectives in the space community.Detailed Summary:Our program focused on discussing the upcoming ISDC (International Space Development Conference) in McLean, Virginia. Aggie Kobrin provided details about the event, noting that approximately 400 students are registered to attend from various countries, with about 50% coming from Romania and 50% from India. The conference will feature keynote speakers, astronauts, and NASA representatives, along with multiple tracks and sessions over four days.The meeting discussed the upcoming space conference scheduled for June 4-7, featuring over 100 speakers including astronauts, NASA officials, and space industry leaders. Key speakers mentioned include Jack Schmidt from Apollo 17, Jerry Griffin, Michael Lopez Allegria, and science fiction author David Brin, who will receive the Clark Award. The conference will include plenary sessions, panel discussions, student tracks, networking events, and a Saturday night party with auction and DJ, though political representatives have not yet confirmed their attendance.The group discussed various tracks and speakers. They confirmed that Jarod Isaacman, who was previously invited, will not be attending due to a trip to Europe. Phil explained the focus of the interplanetary infrastructure track, which explores making space travel between planets more routine and cost-effective. Aggie described the “Launch Pads and Many Roads to Space” track as a way to accommodate student presentations that don't fit into other tracks. The group also mentioned several competitions, including a student competition and the Rothblatt competition, where audience members vote on finalists. Philip confirmed that the interplanetary track is full, with the abstract submission deadline having passed on April 15th.Pascal joined the meeting to discuss his role as co-chair of the ISDC conference with Rod, highlighting new tracks including Interstellar, Mars, and AI in Space. Pascal announced that Jack Schmidt, an Apollo astronaut, would be honored with the new NSS Apollo Legacy Award at the conference, particularly in recognition of the upcoming Artemis II mission. The Mars track was noted to have a record number of contributions and speakers, with plans to discuss practical steps toward human Mars missions, including considerations around Starship and NASA's current situation.The team discussed the current status of the conference program, noting that while most tracks are full, there is limited space available in “many roads to space” for additional presentations. They reported receiving about 300 abstract submissions this year, with around half being accepted. Pascal announced that the option to submit citable papers following presentations will be extended to all tracks this year, allowing papers between 2-20 pages. The group also confirmed details about meal speakers throughout the conference, including Arty Olimani, Jim Green, Jeffrey Manber, and others, and discussed that while some sessions may be taped for marketing purposes, the conference generally requires in-person attendance.The group discussed strategies for engaging younger audiences in space settlement topics, highlighting challenges in getting people below 35 to read comprehensive books like “High Frontier.” Rod shared that NSS published a Space Settlement Workshop book covering key steps in space development, while Pascal mentioned his student's work on transitioning from the ISS to a station with artificial gravity. Aggie noted the success of engaging younger students at space events, mentioning hundreds of enthusiastic students from junior high to graduate level participating in poster sessions and other activities.The discussion focused on details about an upcoming space conference, including its location at the Hilton Hotel in McLean, Virginia, which is accessible via subway from both Dulles and Reagan airports. Aggie explained that while hotel rooms are still available, early bird pricing has ended, with current rates around $189-200 per night. The conference typically attracts around 400 student attendees among its thousand participants, and Rod shared inspiring stories from previous events about how space programs positively impacted young people's lives. The conversation concluded with David asking about accessibility for newcomers to space topics, though the response was cut off at the end of the transcript.The group discussed the accessibility and appeal of the ISDC conference, emphasizing that while it caters to space enthusiasts and specialists, it is designed to be inclusive for a broader audience, including those new to space topics. They highlighted the evolution of space technology and ideas over the years, noting how once-futuristic concepts have become reality. The conversation also covered various awards to be presented at the conference, including the Arthur C. Clarke Award for David Brin, Space Pioneer Awards, and a Distinguished Service Merit Award for Fred Becker. Pascal expressed his enthusiasm for ISDC as a unique gathering of diverse space community members, highlighting its accessibility and networking opportunities.Pascal discussed the current challenges and requirements for a human mission to Mars, explaining that while the concept is feasible on paper, reliable systems for a round-trip lasting up to 900 days are still needed. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the moon first and highlighted the role of robotics and AI in future Mars missions. Pascal also addressed concerns about planetary protection, suggesting that crew members returning from Mars should be quarantined as a precautionary measure. The discussion highlighted the complexity and challenges of space exploration, particularly regarding Mars missions, and the value of networking and conversations at events like ISDC.The upcoming ISDC 2027 conference in Los Angeles was mentioned, then we continued going over ISDC format, tracks, and unique features. Phil highlighted the value of meal tickets and networking opportunities at the conference, while Marshall suggested the possibility of a dedicated robotics track in the future. The conversation also touched on the potential for discussing non-human biologicals at the conference, though Rod noted that any related information would likely remain classified. Aggie and Rod provided information about the conference website and registration options, and the group briefly discussed the evolving use of business cards in professional settings.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

   Sisterhood, CIA, and the Terror Transition  APRIL 13, 2026This collection of transcripts details the transformative role of women at the CIA, from the agency's origins during World War II to the pursuit of Osama bin Laden. Authors and analysts explore how pioneers like Mary Bancroft provided vital intelligence during the Cold War despite being relegated to clerical roles and facing systemic sexism. The narrative follows the career of Heidi August, who rose from a secretary to a station chief, illustrating the shift in focus from Soviet espionage to global counterterrorism. A central theme is the intellectual contributions of female analysts, such as Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude, who identified the threat of al-Qaeda long before the 9/11 attacks. Despite their pioneering work in targeting and intelligence analysis, these women often struggled to have their warnings heard by male leadership. Ultimately, the sources highlight a hidden history of sacrifice and expertise, showing how a dedicated "sisterhood" fundamentally shaped modern American intelligence operations.1. THE OSS ORIGINS AND MARY BANCROFT Guest Mundy: Guest Mundy describes the CIA's WWII roots through the OSS, where elite, college-educated women like Mary Bancroft were recruited for their intelligence and language skills,. Working as Allen Dulles's "right-hand woman" in neutral Switzerland, Bancroft provided crucial analysis and handled a high-level Nazi double agent plotting against Hitler,,. Despite her sophisticated operational role, she faced blatant sexism, once being ordered by Dulles to fetch food during a meeting. Mundy explains that these pioneer women were intentionally tested for their tolerance of being under-recognized while men claimed credit for their work. (2)1952 WARSAW

Katie Hill works at the center of aviation policy, government affairs, and advanced air mobility, and in this conversation she explains how she got there. She started on Capitol Hill working for Senator Moran, where mentors pushed her toward the commerce portfolio and introduced her to aviation policy. What began as a Hill assignment turned into a real calling once she started working on advanced air mobility and saw how policy could help shape an entirely new part of aviation. For Katie, joining Joby was not a career detour. It was the chance to help build the future she had already started working toward in government. She also breaks down advanced air mobility in simple terms: fast, quiet, short-distance electric flight for normal people. Katie explains how Joby's aircraft is designed to connect places that are close enough to drive but far enough to waste time in traffic, like downtown Washington and Dulles. She talks about why noise matters, why integration into the current aviation system matters, and why safety has to stay at the center of every conversation about innovation and regulation. Her point is clear: this only works if the aircraft is safe, useful, and accessible. Later, Katie talks about the pace of life at Joby, the discipline of focusing on the three most important things each day, and how motherhood changed the way she thinks about work and impact. She shares what it was like balancing Joby, law school, and a new baby at the same time, and why being fully present in each role matters. She closes with advice for young women entering aviation: trust your instincts, find strong mentors, speak up for yourself, and do not be afraid to chase the opportunity that feels right before everyone else sees it.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat if a single covert operation rewired the modern Middle East? We revisit the 1953 CIA–MI6 coup that toppled Mohammad Mossadegh and restored the Shah, then follow the consequences forward: repression, the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and a foreign policy defined by proxies and confrontation. Drawing on Stephen Kinzer's research, we explore a hard question with fresh urgency: did the quest for short-term stability seed decades of blowback that still shape U.S.–Iran relations today?We walk through the Cold War calculus that made Operation Ajax feel “smart”—oil interests, fear of Soviet expansion, and a fascination with covert tools—then examine how closing civic space strengthened clerical networks as the only resilient opposition. The result was a revolution led by those best organized to seize power, and a regime that frames its identity against the United States while projecting force through Hezbollah, Hamas, and regional militias. We condemn terrorism unequivocally while refusing to erase the history that helps explain why proxies became Tehran's primary lever.From a conservative lens that values prudence and humility, we test whether 1953 is a warning against social engineering abroad. Can great powers restrain the impulse to pick winners and script outcomes? If Iran ever reaches genuinely free elections again, the real test may be whether we allow the messiness of democracy to unfold without trying to play God in month 22. Along the way, we wrestle with the difference between removing a regime and building institutions, and why regime change is not a strategy but a door to unknown rooms.Listen for a clear-eyed timeline, practical takeaways, and a challenge to rethink how we measure success in foreign policy: short-term order or long-term legitimacy. If this conversation moves you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us where you stand on the 1953 trade—was it worth the cost?Key Points from the Episode:• Kinzer's thesis that Operation Ajax derailed Iran's early democratic path• Cold War logic of the Dulles brothers and Churchill's Britain• How repression crushed liberal opposition and left clerical networks strongest• The arc from Shah to 1979 revolution to proxy militias• Terrorism condemned while history used to avoid repeat mistakes• Conservative case for prudence and unintended consequences• The test of restraint if Iran reopens a democratic path• Why regime change is not a full strategy so lets not make the same mistake againBe sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resourcesOther resources: Want to leave a review?

A Hidden Gem Takes Flight Winchester Regional Airport has quietly transformed from a modest local airfield into a major economic driver for the Shenandoah Valley. In a recent episode of The Valley Today, Executive Director Nick Sabo talks with host Janet Michael to unveil stunning new data that reveals just how significant this transformation has been. The Numbers Tell a Compelling Story The Virginia Department of Aviation recently released its 2025 economic impact study, and the results are nothing short of remarkable. Winchester Regional Airport now supports 610 jobs—a dramatic leap from the 179 jobs reported in the 2017 study. Moreover, the airport generates $28.5 million in annual wages for the local workforce and contributes an impressive $46.9 million in gross state product to the Commonwealth's economy. These figures represent more than just statistics. They reflect over $40 million in capital investment made over the past six years, including the construction of a stunning new terminal building that now serves as a community hub. As Nick jokingly noted, the project took so long that he went from having "long hair like Fabio" to his current look by the time it was completed. More Than Just Recreational Flying Many residents assume Winchester Regional Airport primarily serves hobbyist pilots storing planes in hangars. However, this perception couldn't be further from reality. In fact, recreational aviation represents only a minority of the airport's activity. Instead, the airport serves as a critical gateway for business aviation. CEOs from major retailers who regularly fly into Winchester for meetings and site visits. This capability allows executives to bypass the congestion of major commercial airports like Dulles and arrive within minutes of their actual destination. Furthermore, the airport supports essential services that many residents never consider. Medical evacuation flights, law enforcement operations, agricultural surveying, and flight training all happen regularly at the facility. These diverse operations would create significant congestion at larger airports, demonstrating the value of the nation's extensive network of regional airports. Why You Won't See Southwest Airlines Here One question Nick fields constantly is why Winchester doesn't offer commercial airline service. The answer, he explains, comes down to economics and regulation. To accommodate commercial airlines, the airport would need to meet FAR Part 139 Airport Certification standards—a regulatory hurdle requiring tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure investment. Additionally, Winchester's proximity to Dulles International Airport makes competing for airline service economically unfeasible. Rather than viewing this as a limitation, Nick emphasizes the tremendous value the airport already provides through its current operations. He also hints at exciting possibilities on the horizon, including smaller air taxis that could operate under existing regulations. A Community Asset by Design Winchester Regional Airport benefits from exceptional planning that has made it a good neighbor. Unlike many airports surrounded by residential development, Winchester's facility sits in an area with compatible land use. This thoughtful approach by Frederick County Planning ensures that noise complaints remain minimal and the airport can operate effectively without disrupting nearby communities. The new terminal building exemplifies this community-focused approach. Designed intentionally to connect with residents in meaningful ways, the facility has hosted the Apple Blossom Air Show, Wings and Wheels events, Girls in Aviation Day, and numerous business center gatherings. The building even features a public art display from the Shenandoah Arts Council on its second floor. Nick enthusiastically invites community members to visit anytime—no special reason required. Visitors can enjoy lunch while watching aircraft operations, tour the facility, or simply experience aviation up close in ways impossible at major commercial airports. Building Tomorrow's Aerospace Workforce Winchester Regional Airport plays a crucial role in developing the region's aerospace workforce. Two flight schools—Aviation Adventures and Aero Elite—operate from the main terminal, offering pathways for both professional pilots and recreational enthusiasts. However, Nick emphasizes that aviation careers extend far beyond piloting. The industry needs aircraft maintenance technicians, air traffic controllers, meteorologists, engineers, architects, and avionics specialists. Many of these careers don't require four-year degrees, making them accessible through apprenticeships, credentials, or associate degree programs. The airport partners extensively with local educational institutions, including public school CTE programs, Laurel Ridge Community College, and Shenandoah University. Notably, Laurel Ridge offers a comprehensive drone program that teaches students about commercial drone operation—a field requiring FAA licensing for any commercial use, from real estate photography to agricultural surveying. Interestingly, the pathway to becoming a commercial pilot has shifted dramatically. Twenty or thirty years ago, military service was virtually the only route. Today, private flight schools like those at Winchester have become the primary training ground for commercial airline pilots, fundamentally changing how the industry develops talent. Economic Development's Secret Weapon Patrick Barker and the Frederick County Economic Development Authority understand what many residents don't: having a capable regional airport is crucial for attracting new industry and retail development. Nearly every major company operating in the region has utilized the airport at some point. The airport's value extends beyond simply moving executives around. It opens the region to aerospace-related economic development—opportunities that can only exist where capable airport infrastructure is present. This sector diversification strengthens the local economy and creates high-quality jobs across various skill levels. Looking Toward the Future As Winchester Regional Airport approaches its centennial in 2037, Nick envisions continued smart planning and adaptation to transformational forces reshaping aviation. Advanced Air Mobility—encompassing drones, unmanned systems, and new aircraft technologies—promises to lower operating costs and create new business opportunities. While the airport monitors these emerging technologies closely, Nick emphasizes that the facility's primary responsibility remains meeting the region's current needs. The airport will continue investing strategically while positioning itself to capitalize on future opportunities like air taxis and other innovative aviation services. The role of general aviation airports in their communities is evolving rapidly. Winchester Regional Airport stands ready to embrace this evolution, continuing to serve as an economic engine, workforce development hub, and community asset for the Shenandoah Valley. An Invitation to Explore For residents who haven't visited the new terminal at 491 Airport Road, Nick extends a warm invitation. The facility stands as a testament to what thoughtful investment and community partnership can achieve. Whether you're interested in aviation careers, curious about the industry, or simply want to watch planes while enjoying lunch, Winchester Regional Airport welcomes you. As the economic impact study clearly demonstrates, this isn't just "our little airport" anymore—it's a sophisticated transportation asset driving regional prosperity and opening doors to opportunity for generations to come.

Michael Parenti's obit tells it all—“if you stray too far to the left, you're ignored by the mainstream.” Ben riffs. David Faris explicates and annotates the latest NYT headlines. Including…”Trump deletes post with racist video of Obamas after outcry.” How low can Trump go? And “Schumer pressured to support renaming Dulles and Penn Station for Trump.” Also, the Republican spin on Epstein. And BDS and Dan Biss.

The Friday pandemonium begins! First up: The Trump White House's Racist Post of the Day. Greg wasn't here today, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any special election action yesterday. There was! And we don't know who won! But it was exciting nonetheless, because a Dem "wins" either way. The seat won't actually be filled until April, but they may still be battling over DHS funding at that point. We'll see! Because today ends in a "y," Trump is trying desperately to name more things after himself. Yesterday, it was "TrumpRx," his Groupon-style website for discounts on a whopping 43 different pharmaceutical drugs. Today, it's Washington's Dulles airport and New York's Penn Station. Christine O'Donnell was famously "not a witch," but this guy is, and he was at the Clay County, MN Gop caucus earlier this week, laughing at Mike Lindell and casting a hex on the gathering. A two-fer! From Minneapolis, meanwhile, we're urged not to ignore the economic impact of the ICE/CBP siege. And perhaps lend a hand, if we can.  An ancient scroll, from 1987, may contain clues to a path toward accountability for ICE/CBP and other abusive federal "officials." With so much unsanctioned, un-uniformed "law enforcement" activity going on out there, it was probably only a matter of time until someone tried to take Luigi Mangione's detention into their own hands. It did not work. But on the other hand, neither did an actual DOJ effort to sanction Judge Boasberg. And not just because the effort was baseless and nonsensical! Have you heard that most Democrats are actually uninterested in shielding Bill Clinton from inquiry with regard to the Epstein files? Well, I guess The Hill hasn't. And as for things you should look into this weekend: You may have missed this Trump bribe (because it was reported in close proximity to this other Trump bribe). Anyhoo, the Senator that caught wind of that first bribe also wants us to know that something seriously f-ed up is happening over at the CIA.

This episode: The first real-world activation of the Garmin Autoland system, the E‑7 Wedgetail networked airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform, the flu season impact on crews, an airline captain stands up for exhausted flight attendants, and airlines with the largest fleets. Additionally, airport modernization and the Dulles people movers, the infrastructure needed to support the growth of personal air vehicles, and containment systems for lithium battery thermal runaway. Aviation News Autoland Saves King Air, Everyone Safe, FAA, NTSB Launch Probes On December 20, 2025, a Super King Air (N479BR) operated by Buffalo River Aviation experienced an in-flight emergency after departing from Aspen, Colorado (KASE) on a FAR Part 91 reposition flight. No passengers were on board. Climbing through 23,000ft MSL, the aircraft experienced a rapid, uncommanded loss of pressurization. The aircraft was equipped with Garmin Aviation’s latest Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and Autoland systems, automatically engaged when the cabin altitude exceeded the prescribed safe levels. The system selected a suitable airport per Garmin criteria (KBJC, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport), navigated to it, and landed safely. See: NTSB News Talk Episode 20: Garmin Autoland Emergency Landing: First King Air Save Buffalo River Aviation Statement Regarding Colorado Emergency Landing Image courtesy Garmin. Boeing's $724 million radar plane lives on, despite Pentagon efforts to kill it The E‑7 Wedgetail program is designed to replace the legacy E‑3 Sentry/AWACS-type aircraft (Airborne Warning And Control System) with a modern, networked airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform. The E-7 is designed to provide long-range, 360° air and maritime surveillance using an electronically scanned array radar mounted on a Boeing 737 airframe. It's intended to serve as an airborne battle management node, coordinating fighters, surface units, and ground-based air defenses. The Pentagon wants to cancel the purchase of two prototype E-7 Wedgetail jets, but Congress refuses to do so. In fact, Congress provided $847 million in additional funding for the two prototypes. Major Radio Failure Paralyzes Greek Airspace A major failure of aviation radio communications across Greece led to a temporary shutdown of Greek airspace, grounding or diverting flights nationwide for several hours and causing knock-on disruption across Europe. The collapse of radio frequencies in the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR) forced authorities to halt departures and arrivals until communications were partially restored. Travelers stranded in Caribbean as US military operation sends airlines scrambling to add flights A US military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro led to a temporary FAA closure of Caribbean airspace, causing more than 425 flight cancellations and stranding thousands of travelers across islands including Puerto Rico, Anguilla, St. Maarten, and Aruba. Airlines are now restoring service and adding extra capacity, with most commercial restrictions lifted and operations gradually normalizing. Alaska Airlines Captain Sues Boeing Over 737Max Door Plug Incident Alaska Airlines captain Brandon Fisher has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Boeing and subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems, alleging they tried to make him a scapegoat for the January 5, 2024, mid‑air door plug blowout on Flight 1282. He claims Boeing falsely suggested the incident was due to maintenance or crew error, despite later NTSB findings that pointed to Boeing's inadequate training, guidance, and oversight in its manufacturing processes. Fisher says he has suffered “profound physical and mental repercussions” since the blowout, describing ongoing deterioration linked to emotional injury. Alaska Airlines Hits New All Time Record of 540+ Flight Attendants Going Sick With Carrier Struggling to Operate Full Schedule Flight attendants and pilots are calling out sick in great numbers as the flu season takes hold. Alaska Airlines reports that 540 flight attendants are out. Meanwhile, Frontier, JetBlue, and Spirit have activated contingency plans. In an internal memo, Spirit Airlines said, “Our reserve levels are virtually the same as they have been since 2023, but during this holiday, our sick calls have exceeded previous periods by nearly 250% on some days.” Weather delays and ATC shortages have compounded the problem. A memo reviewed by PYOK explained that nearly 20% of the airline's flight attendants called out sick just before the New Year. My Crew Is Done: United Airlines Captain Refuses to Push Tired Flight Attendants And One Passenger Thanks Him For The Delay FAA regulations generally limit a flight attendant's maximum scheduled duty day to 14 hours on domestic flights. With an augmented crew (adding additional flight attendants), duty can be scheduled beyond 14 hours but is capped at 20 hours. This PYOK article relates the observations of a passenger who saw a United Airlines Captain refuse the attempts of the ground crew to keep the timed-out flight attendants on the boarded plane while another cabin crew could be found. With the FAs exiting the plane, the passengers would have to deplane. Top 10 airlines with the biggest fleets in 2026 United Airlines has the largest fleet with 1,050 single-aisle and widebody aircraft. American Airlines follows with 1,023 aircraft, then Delta Airlines (989), Southwest Airlines (810), China Southern Airlines (708), China Eastern Airlines (679), Skywest Airlines (600), Air China (531), Turkish Airlines (399), and Ryanair (349). The data comes from Planespotters.net and individual airlines. It is current as of December 2025. Mentioned Micah was a guest on WBZ, AM Radio 1030 in Boston with Bradley Jay.

Give to help Chris make Truce Given the recent events in Venezuela, I have decided to run a classic episode from season 3. The question of our era is not "why did we do this?" but "why do we keep doing this?" Why does the United States continue to overthrow other countries? God willing, I'll be back next week with a new episode about Pat Robertson. Discussion Questions: What threat did President Jacobo Arbenz pose to United Fruit? United Fruit owned many utilities in Guatemala from the trains to telephone lines. How would you feel if our utilities were owned by foreign entities? If they controlled our natural resources? Do you think the land reform deal was a good one for their country? Were people like John Foster Dulles right to overthrow Arbenz? How might it have benefited them to do so? In what way could the actions of the US in the 1950s reflect poorly on Christianity domestically and abroad? It has been argued that American consumers benefit when Latin American and African countries are thrown in disarray. It means cheaper diamonds, gold, rubber, and more while also stranding the people in those countries in poverty. Does it bother you that you may be benefiting from unbalanced countries? Do you find the assumption that we are benefiting to be offensive? Why? Is there anything we can do about it?

In 1973, the CIA destroyed MK ULTRA records—America's most disturbing mind-control program. They missed 20,000 files. What those documents reveal: drugging citizens without consent, “psychic driving,” black-site brothels (Operation Midnight Climax), and a death the CIA called suicide—Frank Olson—that looks like murder.In this investigation, I connect the declassified dots: Dulles → Gottlieb → Cameron, church hearings, and how modern manipulation moved from LSD and shock to algorithms and “enhanced” techniques.

1. The OSS Origins and the "Get the Food, Mary" Moment Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Liza Mundy's book explores the history of women in US intelligence, beginning with Mary Bancroft during World War II, a time when the US needed to rapidly build intelligence capabilities (in 1941, the US had no spy agencies). Bancroft, a college-educated woman who spoke German and French, was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). She began by writing vital open-source reports from neutral Switzerland. She was later recruited by Allen Dulles to be his right-hand woman, assisting with intelligence analysis and collection. Bancroft also handled a key German double agent plotting Hitler's assassination. Despite her critical role, she often faced dismissive treatment; in one meeting, Dulles famously ordered her, "get the food, Mary." This exemplified the common experience where OSS women—who were often highly educated and high-earning—were relegated to secretarial work and denied credit for their substantial contributions. 1894
