Today's Headlines: Trump did a full-speed-reverse on Sunday night, suddenly telling House Republicans to go ahead and vote for releasing the Epstein files—after spending months trying to stop exactly that. By Monday he was even claiming he'd sign a bill to release them, adding the very believable disclaimer: “but don't talk about it too much.” To change the subject, he floated a new promise: $2,000 “tariff dividend” checks for middle-income Americans next year—right around the midterms. Nothing says “stop asking about sexual misconduct” quite like a surprise government check. Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel's country singer girlfriend has been assigned her own FBI security detail—yes, on your dime—which is unusual even by this administration's standards. Airports should be mostly back to normal this week now that FAA restrictions are lifted with the end of the shutdown. At FEMA, acting director David Richardson resigned after a rough seven months and a disastrously mishandled Texas flood response. Karen Evans, FEMA's current chief of staff, will take over. Markets took a nosedive, with the major indexes seeing their worst day since Liberation Day. The AI bubble might finally be bursting, especially after new filings showed Peter Thiel's fund and SoftBank both dumped their Nvidia stakes. Finally, a new mental health study found that social media creators are burning out at alarming rates—1 in 10 have had suicidal thoughts tied directly to their work, two-thirds say their self-worth drops when posts underperform, and nearly 70% say their income is totally unpredictable. The Internet economy is thriving; its workers are not.

In this engaging conversation, we talk with MD Helicopters president and CEO Ryan Weeks. Weeks has a diverse background that began with a passion for cars and motorcycles, leading him to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. He started his career with Textron's automotive division, where he gained valuable experience. Over time, he transitioned into product line management and earned an M.B.A. to enhance his strategic skills. Weeks' career path took him through various roles at Textron, including a significant stint at Bell Helicopter, where he contributed to product development and aftermarket business improvements. In 2019, he joined Honeywell Aerospace, and by 2022 he was recruited to help MD Helicopters improve its aftermarket operations. His leadership and strategic vision have been instrumental in shaping MD's path.During our conversation, we discuss the challenges MD faces in the aftermarket and supply chain. The discussion also delves into leadership insights, and the importance of regular product updates to maintain competitiveness in the helicopter industry. We talk about the exciting developments at MD Helicopters, a company with nearly 80 years of history. We'll discuss the revitalization of the legendary MD 530N, now equipped with the powerful Rolls-Royce C30 engine, as well as the new MD Super D20B upgrade that boosts performance and payload for legacy MD 500 models.We'll explore how these advancements are delivering more power, greater payloads, and improved safety, even in the toughest environments, ensuring the fleet remains mission-ready for years to come. Stay tuned as we break down what these upgrades mean for operators, maintenance crews, and the future of helicopter aviation.This podcast was recorded on Tuesday, Oct. 21. At the time of recording, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had yet to approve the first of the supplemental type certificates (STCs) associated with the fielded fleet upgrades discussed in this recording. Three days later, the FAA approved the STC for the Super D20B, and the first Super D20B went into service on Wednesday, Oct. 29.Thank you to our sponsors Astronautics Corporation of America, BLR Aerospace and Precision Aviation Group.

Rebel Republic with Coach Schuman, VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and Steve Cully continues to be the number 1 conservative political talk show in New England, along with parts of the Northeast. Rebel Republic with Coach Schuman, VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and Steve Cully continues to be the number 1 conservative political talk show in New England, along with parts of the Northeast. We are the number 1 independent political show, with no affiliation to Fox, Newsmax, or any major media outlet. Our numbers grow because we have started a revolution of truth. Many are terrified to hear what is really going on; however, we focus on educating people because our network news is biased and controls the narrative. We discuss the ending of the government shutdown.... for now. In 40 days, what has been accomplished? What was it all for? Who benefited? It is sad to see this tactic used; Congress and the Senate are not affected, and they are still paid every week. We see the FAA workers suffer, people who need SNAP benefits suffer, and every day working Americans pay the price, while our decision makers sacrifice nothing.We discuss whether shutting down the government was successful. All we have now is an extension to get a deal done. We have no real idea what the Affordable Care Act will look like. Medicare, Medicaid, where will the answers be? The Democratic party has fractured, lacking leadership, who is driving the boat? Everyone has an agenda, and a few on the left are losing sleep over the direction of our country. A powerful episode, ignorance is bliss, while our media knows how to keep control. With knowledge, facts, and an understanding of our future, we can't sit back; we will contribute so that citizens know the truth.
In this week's show: British Airways signs a major deal with Starlink to provide every customer in every cabin free Wi-Fi; Qantas Airways' 1st Airbus A350‑1000ULR for Project Sunrise takes shape in Toulouse; and the FAA grounds all MD-11 and MD-11F fleets pending inspections in wake of Louisville crash. It is also easyJet's 30th birthday this week and we'll talk about little about that too. In the military: Airbus Defence has delivered the first A400M tactical transport aircraft to the Indonesian Air Force and sadly there has been an accident to a Turkish Air Force C-130 which occurred after departure from Azerbaijan. On the lighter side of things, we have a highly amusing caption competition this week, that features Captain Al as the most mentioned person in the comments. I can't imagine why... We'll also give you some more details about our 600th show which is going to take place in May 2026.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, in Chapter 1 of Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto it emphasizes that the conservative commitment to ordered liberty is rooted in the Founders' principles, such as the social contract and civil society, which foster harmony of interests through accumulated human experience and reasoning for the betterment of individuals and society. There are so-called podcasters on the right who reject this. We can't allow the Tucker Carlson's or Megyn Kelly's to hand America to the left. We need to hold firm to our principles, understanding of the American founding, and decades of discussed values, without falling into traps set by these detractors. Also, a federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia suggested she might dismiss charges against James Comey for lying to Congress and Letitia James for bank fraud, citing skepticism over the legitimacy of interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan's appointment by AG Pam Bondi. Bondi has full authority to appoint anyone who meets the U.S. attorney qualifications. This is pathetic, the left has destroyed our judicial system. Later, the Democrats are potentially poised for another government shutdown opportunity in January, targeting airline services, TSA, FAA, and military funding to inflict pain on Americans again. These routine continuing resolutions might become quarterly battles because of the Democrats. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Host: Cindy Allen Published: November 14, 2025 Length: ~14 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary This week on Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen breaks down a whirlwind of trade developments—from the end of the federal shutdown to a rapid string of new tariff exemptions and reciprocal deals. Inspired by Taylor Swift's Death by a Thousand Cuts, Cindy explains how the industry isn't being overwhelmed by one big policy shift, but by the relentless series of small, fragmented, high-impact changes that hit importers, customs brokers, and compliance teams day after day. From air freight instability to Switzerland–U.S. negotiations, CAFTA carve-outs, and Argentina beef exemptions, Cindy sheds light on both the economic impact and the behind-the-scenes operational work that trade professionals must perform every time a new deal hits the headlines. This Week in Trade • The federal shutdown ends and the aviation system begins stabilizing • FAA restores routes after up to 6% of flights were cut • Air freight is preparing for a possible late-season peak (but uncertainty remains) • Global shipping flows shift again: • Europe, Middle East, Central America lanes show growth from China • U.S.-bound volumes remain down year-over-year • Anchorage continues its rise as a major air freight hub • Forecasts indicate overall soft demand for the remainder of the year New Trade Developments • U.S.–Switzerland trade deal announced (Details forthcoming; likely modeled after UK/EU/Japan tariff frameworks) • Central America tariff revisions under CAFTA • Expected apparel exemptions for Guatemala & El Salvador • Guatemala coffee exempted — positive for major U.S. importers • Argentina beef tariff reductions • Good for consumers • Raises sensitivity with U.S. cattle industry Here's a strong, concise paragraph version that keeps all the meaning but reads smoothly and professionally: Why This Feels Like “Death by a Thousand Cuts” Cindy explains that today's trade environment is overwhelming not because of one major policy shift, but because of the constant stream of piecemeal announcements that arrive without warning. Industry groups have little opportunity to offer input, and each new deal or exemption forces customs brokers into a full operational cycle—from interpreting vague notices and waiting for CSMS or Federal Register clarification to updating systems, revising SOPs, identifying affected HTS numbers, retraining teams, and notifying clients. Importers face a parallel burden as they update classifications, reevaluate landed costs, adjust sourcing and contracts, and communicate financial impacts across their organizations. With several new deals dropping within just a couple of days, teams are completing multiple implementation cycles back-to-back, making the pressure feel like a true “death by a thousand cuts.” Key Takeaways • The shutdown is over, but volatility continues across aviation and freight • Global trade flows are shifting, but the U.S. remains an outlier in demand • New tariff deals bring benefits but impose significant operational burdens • Compliance and broker teams are stretched thin by continuous policy shifts • The industry is experiencing a true “death by a thousand cuts” RESOURCES & MENTIONS • Global Training Center • TradeForce Multiplier Credits Host: • Cindy Allen – LinkedIn • Trade Force Multiplier Producer: • Lalo Solorzano – LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow New episodes every Friday.

The guys open with the First Lady and Second Lady's support for new legislation, Fostering the Future, helping foster youth gain opportunity and stability — a rare bipartisan bright spot signed by the President today. Then the conversation lifts off with NASA's successful ESCAPADE Mission launch — an inspiring reminder of American ingenuity when it's firing on all cylinders. From there, Dave turns up the heat with a blistering, biblically grounded comparison between the President's rebuke of Democrats before ending the government shutdown and Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees — the infamous "brood of vipers" moment that called out hypocrisy at its core. G.K. shifts gears, asking Dave about the elite skill set of air traffic controllers, comparing it to the precision of brain surgery. Dave explains how the Obama and Biden Administrations dismantled FAA meritocracy — rejecting over 3,000 qualified candidates in favor of DEI quotas — calling it the number one safety issue in aviation today: not equipment, but manpower. The show closes on a high-octane note as G.K. congratulates Cadillac Motors for entering the world of Formula One racing — a symbol of American innovation roaring back onto the global stage.

Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages. Zimmerman speculates that Jared Isaacman's conservative-leaning public appearance at Turning Point USA might have convinced Trump to renominate him for NASA Administrator.
SHOW 11-12-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1930 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1145-1200 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence.

Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1215-1230 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses.

PREVIEW. SpaceX Adjusts Launch Schedules Due to FAA Shutdown Curfew. John Batchelor talks with Bob Zimmerman about SpaceX adapting to an FAA launch curfew instituted during a government shutdown. Due to a shortage of air traffic controllers, no launches were allowed from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time. SpaceX quickly reconfigured upcoming launches to occur in the evening, protecting its commercial enterprise. Retry
Congress is 43 days into the government shutdown, severely disrupting air traffic control, but hope rises as eight Senate Democrats vote to advance an end to the standoff. Mike McCormick, former Vice President of the FAA's Air Traffic Organization, discusses how the shutdown has led to many issues that are exacerbating an already understaffed system, then he shares his insights on how to rebuild the controller pipeline, and the challenges of restoring normal operations before the holiday travel season. The FDA is removing its long-standing boxed warning from hormone-based menopause drugs, a change that could reshape treatment for millions of women. For years, warnings about heart attack, stroke, and dementia discouraged many from using the therapy despite its benefits for hot flashes and other symptoms. Dr. Dorothy Fink, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health & Women's Health at the Department of Health and Human Services, joins the Rundown to explain what led to the FDA's decision, the science behind Hormone Replacement Therapy, and why women's health issues associated with menopause deserve more attention.

Alex Stone reports that travel pain is deepening as the FAA increases flight reductions from 4% to 6% amid the ongoing government shutdown. The agency plans to reach 10% soon, and more than 1,500 flights have already been canceled. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns that even after the shutdown ends, it will take time to get operations back to normal — with Thanksgiving travel fast approaching. Jay Leno joins the show to promote his December 10th appearance with Tim Conway Jr. at Cadillac of Pasadena, sharing a funny story about Warren Buffett calling him about a mattress commercial. Jay and Tim trade laughs about the upcoming event, Norm MacDonald’s comedy brilliance, and gambling and golf tales. Conway wraps the hour by honoring veterans and sharing that he proudly served in the Army. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The impact of the Federal government shutdown on commercial flights and private jets, the MD-11 fleet-wide grounding after the UPS crash, Bombardier Global 8000 cabin pressure, the FAA's desire for flight schools to conduct their own pilot testing, United flight attendant priorities, the oldest airports in the world, and a new center wing box for Fat Albert. Aviation News BWI-Marshall on FAA's list of airports for reduced flights amid federal government shutdown The FAA is requiring airlines to reduce flights by 10% at 40 high-volume airports. Thousands of flights have been cancelled or delayed as the flight reductions cascade through the network. FAA grounds private jets at 12 major US airports as government shutdown chaos worsens The FAA shut down private jet and business aviation operations at 12 airports: Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) Denver International Airport (DEN) General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (BOS) George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told CNN that flights were being limited to “reduce the pressure on controllers.” See Private Jets Grounded at a Dozen Airports Nationwide. The NBAA's CEO Ed Bolen said that the restrictions were “disproportionately impacting general aviation, an industry that creates more than a million jobs, generates $340 billion in economic impact and supports humanitarian flights every day.” Trump threatens air traffic controllers who fail to return to work as flight cancellations jump "All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn't will be substantially 'docked.'” UPS, FedEx ground MD-11 fleets after deadly Louisville crash UPS flight 2976, an MD-11, crashed on November 4, 2025, shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. The left-hand engine and its pylon detached from the airplane during takeoff, and the MD-11 crashed into a nearby neighborhood, resulting in at least 14 fatalities, including the three crew members onboard and numerous casualties on the ground. Following the crash, the FAA grounded all MD-11 and MD-11F aircraft. MD-11F operators UPS and FedEx also voluntarily grounded their MD-11 aircraft out of an abundance of caution, following Boeing's recommendation. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation. From Aviation News Talk: 403 UPS MD-11 Crash Analysis + Dr. Catherine Cavagnaro on How to Make Better Landings Bombardier Global 8000 Sets Cabin Altitude Record At Mach 0.95, Bombardier says the Global 8000 will be the fastest business jet in the world and have a cabin altitude of 2,691 feet while flying at 41,000 feet. Most commercial aircraft maintain cabin pressure at levels equivalent to 6,000–8,000 feet above sea level. Business jets generally operate at a pressure equivalent of between 3,000 and 6,000 feet. Global 8000, courtesy Bombardier. FAA To Encourage More Flight Schools To Conduct Testing Themselves A designated pilot examiner (DPE) shortage is resulting in a checkride backlog. Only 74 of 509 certificated flight schools have the authority to do their own testing for pilot certificates. In response, the FAA wants more schools to run the tests themselves. A reduction in flight school surveillance to assess whether a school can qualify to do its own testing makes a policy change easier.

From the Formula 1 Grand Prix to Super Bowl weekend, there's no city on Earth that can coordinate large-scale events like Las Vegas — and MGM Resorts International is at the center of it all. In the final part of my MGM executive series on #NoVacancyNews, I sat down with John Flynn, SVP of Global Security and Aviation, to explore how MGM and its partners manage security, aviation logistics, and guest experience during some of the world's biggest events. John explains what it takes to move thousands of VIPs in and out of the city during F1 weekend, how coordination across every property keeps the Strip running smoothly, and why service and safety go hand in hand in modern hospitality.
Shutdown Status & Deal Progress The shutdown began on October 1 and is now at day 41. A bipartisan deal involving Republicans, President Trump, and eight moderate Democrats is close to passing. The deal would: Reopen the government until January 30. Fund programs like SNAP (food stamps), veterans benefits, and other federal services. Reverse layoffs of federal workers and block further firings until January 30. Commit to a future vote on extending Obamacare subsidies. Impact on Air Travel there are severe flight cancellations and delays due to air traffic controller shortages. FAA ordered airlines to cut flights by 4%, with Delta canceling nearly 500 flights and United following similar measures. President Trump ordered all air traffic controllers back to work and threatened pay docking for absentees, while promising $10,000 bonuses for those who worked through the shutdown. Political Dynamics Democrats are deliberately prolonging the shutdown for leverage. Internal Democratic Party civil war: Criticism of Chuck Schumer’s leadership. Calls from Democrats and media figures for Schumer to step down. Growing influence of progressive wing (e.g., Bernie Sanders, AOC faction). Republicans argue Democrats used Americans as “leverage” in a political game. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
