Louisiana's coast is rapidly disappearing into the Gulf, threatening not only the land, but also the people and the culture that make it special. Instead of mourning the coast, a new series from PBS member station WYES is celebrating it. Eco Trip is the Gulf South's first eco-adventure television series that combines outdoor adventure, authentic travel, rich cultural traditions and environmental discovery. Host Tom Gregory jumps into each adventure firsthand, creating an authentic look at the culture, history and perseverance that has shaped coastal Louisiana for generations. He spoke with the coastal desk's Eva Tesfaye for more.Back in May, WNYC's On the Media released a podcast all about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) — “American Emergency: The Movement to Kill FEMA.” The four-part series chronicled the agency from its founding to its current uncertain status in the Trump Administration. The second episode takes a deep dive into the failings of FEMA during Hurricane Katrina. Earlier this year, we spoke with reporter and host of the series Micah Loewinger. Today, we'll look back on that conversation.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber. We receive production and technical support from Garrett Pittman, Adam Vos and our assistant producer, Aubry Procell. You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at noon and 7 p.m. It's available on Spotify, the NPR App and wherever you get your podcasts. Louisiana Considered wants to hear from you!

The db tables are still back-filling since I updated the db and aggregators to support the new tag format. After a couple of days it should be mostly complete." He cc'd @james, @alberto, @js and then @DavidMarzalC. That cc list is the whole story — within 48 hours all four had done something with it. @dave — the locations dataset post (20 Aug) The shipping trail: web-ui PR #608, "add locations export to public data sets," branch public_datasets → merged to master the same afternoon. This is the first public dataset built on the new location tag format rather than the old one. Then somebody built the map. By Friday morning Alberto had radar.rss.io/#globe up — a spinning globe of podcasts made in or about places on earth, drawn from the free dataset, most entries carrying full OpenStreetMap references. James put it in front of the OpenStreetMap community directly: "One for excellent people using @openstreetmap." James's review, and the two asks: "This is so cool. Really shows the power of the location tag. The globe — would be nice to add filters to that (made in vs about). Or maybe just colour the dots differently? The next trick would be some OSM lookups on the IDs to work out what the places are."

Over the weekend we re-shared the first installment of American Emergency, our 4-part series all about the Federal Emergency Management Agency. OTM's Senior Producer Eloise Blondiau and host Micah Loewinger spent nearly a year researching and reporting those episodes. And earlier in the summer, they put on a live event at WNYC, where Eloise and Micah gave a behind the scenes look at their process making the show, and why they wanted to tell a story about FEMA in the first place.  The conversation was recorded live at The Greene Space in New York, and moderated by legendary reporter Nancy Solomon. We were joined by one of our sources, former top FEMA staffer MaryAnn Tierney, who now leads the control center for SEPTA – the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. MaryAnn shared her expertise on how FEMA really works, as well as her experience working with Trump's latest pick to lead the agency, Cameron Hamilton.

In this episode of STRAT, retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examines consequence management and warns of the risks he associates with a potential Super El Niño. Drawing on decades of work with military commands, FEMA, DHS, intelligence organizations, and state and local agencies, Kempfer traces the evolution of all-hazards consequence management and argues that critical gaps remain in disaster intelligence and decision support. He revisits lessons from Hurricane Katrina, the development and abandonment of CPG-502, and the intended role of state and local fusion centers in helping leaders understand threats, damage, and cascading consequences. Kempfer also explores California's historic flood vulnerability, including the catastrophic storms of 1861–62, and considers what extreme precipitation could mean for infrastructure, supply chains, businesses, governments, and communities today. His central message: preparedness must go beyond assurances. Leaders need realistic assessments, integrated intelligence, mitigation planning, and action before a major disaster actually arrives unexpectedly.Takeaways:Consequence management prepares organizations for natural and manmade disasters.Disaster intelligence provides leaders critical information for timely decisions.Hurricane Katrina exposed major gaps in federal disaster preparedness.CPG-502 sought stronger state and local disaster intelligence capabilities.Kempfer argues CPG-502 was never adequately implemented nationwide.California's historic floods demonstrate the catastrophic potential of extreme rainfall.Super El Niño could severely challenge existing emergency preparedness systems.Businesses must prepare for workforce, infrastructure, and supply disruptions.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #ConsequenceManagement #SuperElNino #DisasterPreparedness #EmergencyManagement #DisasterIntelligence #NationalSecurity #RiskAssessment #CrisisManagement #EmergencyPreparedness #CaliforniaFlooding #ExtremeWeather #HomelandSecurity #FEMA #DisasterResponse #CriticalInfrastructure #StrategicIntelligence

India's foreign investment problem may be bigger than it looks. In this episode of The Core Report Special Edition, Financial Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Ajay Shah, Senior Research Fellow and Co-founder of XKDR Forum, about why foreign investment in India has slowed, why FDI flows have struggled to regain their earlier momentum, and what this could mean for India's economic growth.Ajay Shah argues that the real question is not whether foreign capital is coming into India, but how much more investment India could be attracting. He points to a longer-term slowdown in both foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment and examines why global investors may remain cautious about committing substantially more capital to India.The conversation explores six major issues that Shah believes are holding back foreign investment in India, including capital controls, taxation, bilateral investment treaties, trade barriers, financial market infrastructure and the rule of law.Shah also explains why foreign capital matters for the Indian economy. Beyond funding, foreign companies can bring technology, management practices, global supply chains and knowledge that can improve productivity, manufacturing and competitiveness.Govindraj Ethiraj and Ajay Shah discuss FDI in India, FPI, FEMA, SEBI, taxation, tariffs, global value chains, contract enforcement, private investment, industrial policy and India's economic reforms. They also explore why Shah considers the period from 1991 to 2011 crucial to India's economic growth story and why both foreign and domestic private investment appear to have lost momentum since then.At the heart of the conversation is a bigger question. If India wants faster GDP growth, more manufacturing, more jobs and deeper integration with the global economy, what needs to change for global investors to put substantially more money into India?Chapters:01:25 What's Driving Foreign Capital Away? 03:50 Why Has Foreign Capital Struggled to Scale in India?07:31 Why Are Some Companies Still Investing in India? 09:51 How Easy Is It to Enter and Exit India? 13:20 Is India's Capital Problem Both Inward and Outward? 15:00 Why India's Tax Regime Concerns Foreign Investors 19:19 How the Indian State Affects Foreign Firms 23:36 Do Trade Barriers Discourage Foreign Capital 25:04 How Should India Position Itself Globally? 26:19 Why Are Tariffs Rising and Falling Again? 27:23 Why Are Tariffs Rising and Falling Again? 28:28 Why Capital Gets Stuck After Entering India 30:30 Why Transactional Efficiency Isn't Enough 31:50 How Should India Tackle Round-Tripping? 34:51 What Institutions Does India Need to Strengthen? 36:57 How Can India Become More Competitive? 40:27 How Important Is Private Capital to India? Watch the full conversation for a deeper understanding of India's foreign investment problem, foreign investment in India and the future of FDI in India.India's foreign investment problem goes beyond slowing FDI in India. Why are global investors cautious about foreign investment in India, and what must change? Ajay Shah explains how FDI, FPI, taxation, tariffs, private investment, manufacturing, economic reforms and the rule of law could shape India's economic growth.#ForeignInvestment #FDIIndia #IndianEconomy #EconomicReforms #IndiaGrowth #TheCoreReport #TheCore

This month a federal watchdog raised the alarm over thousands of staffing cuts at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. On this week's On the Media, an episode from our miniseries American Emergency, all about FEMA: the agency that steps in when large-scale catastrophes like wildfires, floods, and hurricanes strike. Despite its vital work, the agency is widely despised and mythologized – and it's fighting to stay alive under the Trump administration. In this episode, which first aired in the spring, OTM co-host Micah Loewinger tells the origin story of FEMA — which initially focused less on disaster relief and more on plans to save the government from nuclear attack. The agency's secrecy inspired wild conspiracy theories and paranoia among far-right groups, including the fear that FEMA is building camps to detain citizens and stifle political dissent. The episode culminates with a never-before-told story of a plot to stalk FEMA's top brass in the nineties.

This synopsis is based on the July 31, 2026, broadcast of the IPS-D program.In this broadcast, host Tim Ozman (founding member of the Infinite Plane Society and “Realville”) provides a deep-dive analysis into media deconstruction and what he terms “systemic fakery”. Ozman posits that major world events are not spontaneous but are part of a “meta script”—a prefabricated history planned decades in advance by “metascriptors” such as filmmakers Christopher Nolan and James Cameron. The program focuses on moving the audience from a paradigm of “belief” to one of “knowing” by identifying patterns in the “world stage”. Ozman discusses the establishment of “Realville” as a base to confront “propaganda mules” and “controlled opposition” within the conspiracy community. The conversation covers a wide array of topics, from simulated assassinations to the esoteric nature of consciousness, all aimed at “inoculating” the audience against psychological warfare.Key Topics of Discussion* The Establishment of Realville: A movement designed to directly confront “useful idiots” and “stooges” who follow controlled opposition narratives within the truth community.* The “Nuke” Meta Script: Analysis of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and Oppenheimer as predictive programming for an inevitable incoming nuclear event.* The “Charlie Kirk Squib”: A deconstruction of a supposed assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk, which the host claims was a staged casualty simulation involving a “blood bag” and “fake skin”.* Westworld Syndrome: A term used to describe “normies” who are “trapped within the simulation” and lack the continuity to see patterns between past and present events.* 2020 as “Crate Training”: The assertion that the COVID-19 lockdowns were used to condition the human race to accept future restrictions and “lockdowns” following a nuclear event.* Hoax Indicators: Specific hallmarks used to identify simulated events, such as concurrent drills, immediate political agendas, and the use of “crisis actors”.* History Bending: The theory that accumulated fake news cycles over decades are used to warp the collective version of the past and steer current paradigms.* Panpsychism and Gnosticism: The host's philosophical argument that “mind is primary” and matter is a substrate, viewing the physical world as a potential “limiter” or “prison for souls”.* Echolocation Theory of Synchronicity: A demystified view of synchronicity where thoughts and intentions act as signals that “bounce back” from the future as guidance.* The Off-World Stage Perspective: A state of situational awareness that allows an individual to see the “architecture” of the media monopoly and opt-out of the “mind war”.Key Quotes* “Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan have been producing a lot of PSYOP prep for the incoming nuke event.”* “They used 2020 to crate train the human race. Like, you know, dogs.”* “Your home is your FEMA camp. The purpose of the lockdown is basically the same thing.”* “Realville is in the world stage because we're in the process of invading. But our perspective is off world stage.”* “The idea that they're planning events in advance doesn't sound super extreme... It actually is. And you have to consider the implications.”* “We have exited the mind war because it's Orwellian. They maintain the status quo through mind war because war is peace.”* “If you're not a Media Gnostic, what are you? If you don't know, but you believe, you're a believer.”* “Death is a big fat hoax.”* “Conspiracy theories are subplots of the fake events.”* “If you get the off-world stage perspective, you are essentially inoculated for all time.”Host Reading Audience Comments* Reading Suzette Ann: “She says, I hope you're wrong. I don't want to go through the restrictions again.”* Reading Suzanne Ann: “...a lot of people will believe things because they're in the news and the government promotes it. They believe the so-called authorities. I used to be there.”* Reading Plane Dakota: “I'm not going to be afraid of the nuke, but I don't want to be around the people who believe in it, which will be everyone because they're going to make life hard.”* Reading Riley: “It happened in Louisville, the 9-11 Louis connection.”* Reading Autohoax: “Human beings being animals are self-evident... You're echoing Catholic religious beliefs by saying we have souls. You're a Catholic brainwashed victim.”* Reading Violet: “Zero for paranormal activity for me.”* Reading Afus Crow: “Anyone still talking about voting, left versus right, chasing the latest psyop, have no idea what's really going on... chasing the latest PSYOP laser pointer.”You can also now find IPS on the following Podcast platforms:APPLE:SPOTIFY:YT MUSIC: This is a public episode.

Manufacturing Quiet TuesdaysNational Emergency Management Awareness Month, and a Confirmed Administrator at LastHost: Todd T. DeVoe, CEM Runtime: 11:45 Recorded: August 8, 2026SHOW NOTESAugust is National Emergency Management Awareness Month, and this year it arrives alongside news the field has waited two years to hear. On Friday, August 7, the Senate confirmed Cameron Hamilton as Administrator of FEMA, part of a block of 74 nominations. After two years of acting titles and senior officials performing the duties of, there is a name on the door that stays there.Todd DeVoe uses the occasion for something other than policy analysis. This one is a thank you. Not the conference kind. The real one.He works through the profession person by person. The one-person department that also serves as the planning section, the logistics section, and the PIO. The planner who has read the same evacuation annex forty times, looking for the change that will matter, and who will never be told it worked. The duty officer at two in the morning, with the full picture assembled by four. The recovery specialist is still sitting at a kitchen table over a three-year-old declaration. The exercise designer who wrote a scenario meant enough to embarrass people, because an exercise that everybody passes taught nobody anything. The FEMA staff who stayed through the uncertainty. And the twenty-six-year-old, at their first activation, convinced everyone else in the room that they knew something they did not. They do not. Everybody is reading the same situation report.Then the harder part. This profession's best work is invisible by design. The evacuation goes smoothly, and there is no story. The warning goes out early and the numbers stay low. Success is indistinguishable from a quiet Tuesday. Todd reaches for Marcus Aurelius on the vine that produces grapes and does not go looking for applause, and lands on what Awareness Month is actually for: not asking for credit, but explaining what the quiet costs and who pays for it, so the October budget conversation goes a little easier.The last thank you goes to the families. The empty chair at dinner. The eleven-word activation text that reorganizes a week. The skill of falling back asleep after the duty phone rings at three. And the thing most people miss entirely is being the first responder to the responder who came home from a bad one and could not yet talk about it. There is no ICS position for that. Maybe there should be.CHAPTERS00:51 The Senate confirms Cameron Hamilton as FEMA Administrator02:56 Doc, welcome back.

Finding grant funding can feel overwhelming, particularly for smaller EMS and fire agencies where one person often wears multiple hats. In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence is joined by Lexipol Grant Writer and Colorado Firefighter-Paramedic Anya Otterson to demystify the grant-writing process. From identifying funding priorities and locating grant opportunities, to building a compelling case backed by data, Anya provides a practical roadmap for agencies looking to secure funding for equipment, staffing and operational improvements. She explains why success starts with clearly defining organizational needs, understanding grant priorities, and assembling evidence that demonstrates both community impact and operational necessity. The discussion explores the complete grant lifecycle, from preparing competitive applications, through to post-award reporting and compliance. Anya emphasizes that strong grant applications combine hard data with real patient stories, while Rob shares lessons learned from managing successful Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) and transportation safety grants. They also discuss how AI tools such as ChatGPT can accelerate research when used appropriately — but caution against relying on AI to write narratives outright. The episode concludes with encouragement for agencies to not be discouraged by unsuccessful applications, reminding listeners that grant writing is an iterative process where persistence and continual improvement often lead to success.

This synopsis deconstructs the IPS DEPROGRAM broadcast from July 31, 2026, which details the transition of the Infinite Plane Society from a separatist movement into an active “occupying force” within the alternative media landscape. The session focuses on the “Meta Script,” the predictive programming of a future nuclear event, and the methodology of Media Gnosticism.Glossary of Terms* Auto-Hoaxer: A term formerly used as a pejorative but adopted by IPS to describe someone who recognizes patterns of systemic fakery and assumes news events are simulations until proven otherwise.* Casualty Simulation Drill: A precise term for what is commonly called a “hoax” or “false flag”; it refers to a scripted exercise presented to the public as a real, spontaneous tragedy.* Concurrent Programming: The practice of intensifying specific media themes (such as mushroom clouds in movies) at the same time as related real-world news events to prime the public's subconscious.* Crate Training: The process of using past lockdowns (like 2020) to habituate the human race into self-policing and accepting future restrictions without resistance.* Hoax Indicators: Specific “glitches” or patterns—such as the presence of drills, smiling witnesses, or copy-pasta manifestos—that suggest an event is a simulation.* Media Gnostic: An individual who refuses to “believe” news based on authority and instead relies on direct “knowledge” (gnosis) through pattern recognition and evidentiary deconstruction.* Metascript: The overarching pre-written timeline of future history, which includes staged events, scripted characters, and predictive programming intended to steer the collective paradigm.* Mind AIDS: A compromised mental immune system, created by state education and media, that makes a person susceptible to “mind viruses” and psychological manipulation.* Off-World Stage Perspective: A state of situational awareness where an individual sees the “World Stage” as a fictional universe and is no longer emotionally or intellectually trapped by its narratives.* Realville: The base of operations established by IPS to directly confront “Trutherville” and provide an objective, subtractive analysis of the news.* Squib: A miniature explosive used in special effects to simulate a bullet hit; the host argues this was used in the Charlie Kirk “assassination” simulation.* Trutherville: The realm of alternative media and conspiracy theorists who, despite doubting the mainstream, remain trapped in “psyop soap operas” and “MSM Plus” narratives.* Westworld Syndrome: A condition where “normies” or “synths” live in loops of scripted news cycles without any sense of continuity between past and present fake events.Key Topics and Detailed Analysis1. The Shift to Direct Confrontation: Establishing RealvilleThe host announces that IPS is no longer a separatist movement; it has moved into a phase of “direct confrontation” with the propaganda mules of both mainstream and alternative media. The goal is to establish “Realville” within the heart of “Trutherville” to force content creators to account for their adherence to scripted narratives.* Analysis: This strategy uses “polarization” (Saul Alinsky's Rule 13) to frame the conflict in moral terms, distinguishing between those who serve the “Meta Script” and those who seek the truth.* Direct Quote: “As of July 5th, we've actually decided we're no longer a separatist movement. We're actually establishing what I call Realville right in the middle of Trutherville... This is the point where we engage in direct confrontation with these useful idiots, the stooges, the propaganda mules who are lining up behind controlled opposition narratives.”2. The Trojan Horse: Nolan's The Odyssey and the Nuke EventA major focus of the broadcast is the analysis of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (2026) as a “secret sequel” to Oppenheimer. The host argues that the film uses the Trojan Horse as a metaphor for the nuclear bomb, preparing the public for an “incoming nuke event”.* Analysis: IPS claims to have predicted this subtext before the film's release, viewing Nolan as a “metascriptor” who coordinates with the government to prime the public for future “fake historic events”.* Direct Quote: “The conversation of late has really been around the Odyssey, the Trojan horse as a metaphor for the nuke, Odysseus as Oppenheimer... Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan have been producing a lot of PSYOP prep for the incoming nuke event. Which is incoming. It's inevitable.”3. Lockdowns and the “Crate Training” of HumanityThe broadcast warns that the predicted nuclear event will serve as an excuse for new lockdowns, similar to those in 2020. The host refers to this as “crate training,” where the public is taught to run into their “FEMA camp” (their own home) voluntarily.* Analysis: By removing the “emotional impact” through situational awareness, the IPS listener is intended to witness these events without the drama or fear that paralyzes the “normie” population.* Direct Quote: “They used 2020 to crate train the human race... your home is your FEMA camp. The purpose of the lockdown is basically the same thing... instead of having a prison warden, you become your own prison warden.”4. Case Study: The Charlie Kirk “Squibbing” SimulationThe host provides a detailed deconstruction of a reported assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk, arguing that visual evidence (such as a bulging “fake neck”) reveals the use of a “squib” and fake blood.* Analysis: The host posits that Kirk—and related figures like Candace Owens—are “actors” and “agent provocateurs” whose personas and deaths are entirely scripted to maintain the “counterculture” of conspiracy theorists.* Direct Quote: “What you're seeing here, the swollen part is not real skin. The neck bulges, fake neck... My explanation is it's a squib. The exploding microphone is disinformation. They don't want you to know he was a crisis actor. They don't want you to know his entire persona was staged and fake.”5. Media Gnosticism: The Difference Between Knowing and BelievingThe session emphasizes the philosophical distinction between “believers” and “knowers.” Believing is characterized as a “submissive” act of trust in authorities, while Gnosticism involves suspending judgment until facts are verified.* Analysis: The host argues that both mainstream and alternative audiences are “believers” who merely mirror each other's prejudices, whereas the IPS perspective seeks to be “skeptical” and “off-world stage”.* Direct Quote: “If you don't know, but you believe, you're a believer... Belief is an inferior way to process the news. It just means that I'm not actually relying on facts. I'm just trusting. It's actually very submissive.”6. The Meta Script: Engineering History Decades in AdvanceUsing Donnie Darko (2001) as an example, the host argues that the “Butler, Pennsylvania” event (referring to a Trump-related incident) was planned at least 24 years in advance. He notes that the director's father worked for NASA, which he calls a primary “shaper of inner space”.* Analysis: This “history bending” creates a “News Testament” or “Meta Scripture” that synchronizes the world's population into a singular, manufactured paradigm.* Direct Quote: “Donnie Darko... contains 9-11 references... and the father says to the mother, ‘Our Donnie dodged a bullet, Rose.' ... 24 years before he was shot, it was already on the docket. It was on the program.”7. The Spiritual Mind War: Consciousness as the Final FrontierA significant portion of the broadcast (sparked by a debate with a listener) explores the idea that “mind is spirit” and that psychological operations are actually attacks on human consciousness. The host argues for “panpsychism” and the idea that the universe is “participatory”.* Analysis: The “Materialistic Paradigm” is viewed as a tool of the state to keep people at the “bottom rung of consciousness” and ignorant of their own “higher nature”.* Direct Quote: “If mind is spirit, and is there a difference?... if it's mind control, how is it not spirit control? How is it not... maintaining you as a sheeple, as an animal... and to suppress the expression of consciousness?”8. The “Monolith” and the Fusion of Real and FakeThe host interprets Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and the “X” (Twitter) logo through the lens of the “Monolith,” symbolizing the monolithic control over human perception.* Analysis: The “eclipse” over the monolith represents the fusion of waking consciousness (solar) and the subconscious (lunar), or the merging of news and fiction into a single “scripture”.* Direct Quote: “The monolith is the monolithic control over perception. It's the worldview monopoly... the eclipse... represents the fusion of real and fake as we are processing through the screen or the monolith.”Conclusion: The Inoculation against “Mind AIDS”The broadcast concludes by offering the “off-world stage perspective” as a “cure for mind AIDS”. By understanding the “Meta Script” and the mechanics of media manipulation, the individual is said to be “inoculated” against future psyops and emotional triggers. The host announces that the Intro to Metascript course is now free and serves as the fundamental training for this new “pattern literacy”. This is a public episode.

A repost to celebrate our return to the deepest dankest corners of the Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura archives! This episode was initially recorded and released in 2021. It covers what is arguably the most controversial episode of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura ever. The entire second season of Ventura's show has never been available on streaming platforms, but of all the too hot for television moments from that season, this episode was the too hottest. It aired exactly one time and was immediately pulled. It digs into the theory that FEMA camps will one day be used to house dissidents or immigrants instead of providing safety in times of disaster. Watch the episode here (while you can):Pt. 1: https://youtu.be/h6vsKMaSG1s?si=Wkq-uxrNX1EumPD4Pt. 2: https://youtu.be/y1bftc4gHQY?si=oRWbRTEsNmkD0jZfPt. 3: https://youtu.be/z_WO6UMFYsQ?si=3NMYao_1xOe5ga-FBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-the-show--7047649/support.Follow the You Don't Even Like Podcasts Network on social media!Instagram: http://instagram.com/youdontpodBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/youdontpod.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@youdontpodFacebook: http://facebook.com/youdontpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@youdontpods

Lee. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Dr. Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multi-industry entrepreneur. To inspire listeners with strategies for wealth-building through real estate, construction, and logistics. To encourage financial literacy, ownership, and collaboration within underserved communities. To issue a call to action for minorities to explore opportunities like Amazon DSP and real estate investment. Key Takeaways Early Career & Education Started young in real estate, embraced discomfort in rooms dominated by older professionals. Leveraged millennial tech skills (social media marketing) to help veteran brokers grow. Earned a doctorate degree and became a licensed real estate broker. Social Media as a Business Tool Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.” Financial Literacy & Homeownership African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit). Real Estate Process Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days. Uses property tours as motivation even for those not yet approved. Pooling Resources for Wealth Industry dominated by white men and foreign investors who use syndication. Dr. Lee created a private family fund with fraternity brothers and friends. Acquired 150+ apartment units and commercial properties by pooling resources and forming LLCs. Amazon DSP Opportunity Owns an Amazon Delivery Service Partner business (42 trucks, 200 employees). Offers minorities a chance to apply for DSP with $10K grant. Taught him true CEO skills: HR, payroll, compliance, and scaling operations. Construction Business Entered construction after experiencing exploitation in fix-and-flip projects. Learned the business side (permits, change orders) and got licensed. Built major projects like a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant in Atlanta. Advocates for Black representation in construction, an industry dominated by whites and Hispanics. Personal Background Raised in New Orleans during Katrina by a single mother and grandparents. Mother invested FEMA checks into real estate, teaching him property management and renovation skills early. Believes knowledge is power and emphasizes planning and consistency. Notable Quotes On embracing discomfort:“I learned to embrace the uncomfort and make it one of my biggest strengths.” On social media:“You have to make your business look the same way online as in person.” On financial literacy:“Real estate is always going to be good debt. Bad debt is the Macy’s card.” On collaboration:“Pooling resources shows how far we can go and how fast we can go—but together.” On planning:“If you don’t plan, you plan to fail. All you have to do is stick to the plan.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every nation on the planet is its own brand. And love of country plays a part in each one. But here in the U.S., the very notion of patriotism has been polarized. Culture warriors have attempted to unilaterally define what it means to be American, and they paint anyone who disagrees as unpatriotic. So how did one extremist ideology corner the market on branding American patriotism? Why is it imperative for regular Americans to reclaim the American brand? And why is the so-called “opposition” SO BAD at branding and messaging? A respected public relations leader, government PR trainer and service member Dr. Joe Trahan joins us to discuss. Dr. Joe is the founder of Trahan and Associates, a recognized leader in media relations and crisis communications for more than 23 years. He's a former member of the PRSA national board. Earlier in his career, he achieved the rank of Lt. Colonel in the US Army Reserve, and commanded the 314th Public Affairs Operations Center. And as an instructor, he has taught media relations to thousands of pupils in 46 U.S. states, 5 NATO allies, Mexico and Paraguay, in addition to teaching PIO courses at FEMA for more than 20 years. Together, we'll honor 250 years of American exceptionalism by doubling down on the principles that actually made this country great: service, civil discourse, and compromise.

(Courtesy Nishnawbe Aski Nation / YouTube) Indigenous leaders in Ontario are calling for a public inquiry into how the provincial government responded to the wildfires that ripped through parts of Northern Ontario. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, at least two First Nations communities burned to the ground. Several First Nations leaders held a news conference in Thunder Bay recently to counter claims by the Ontario government that it did communicate and respond with Native communities about the fire dangers. Helen Paavola is the chief of the Collins First Nation. “There's nothing left but just ashes. My members barely escaped with the clothes on their back.” Paavola says her community was left to evacuate without notice or support from the government, but Ontario Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Response Jill Dunlop insists there was communication. “There has been a lot of communication back and forth between First Nations communities with myself and with my colleagues and our ministry officials as well.” But Alvin Fiddler, grand chief of the Nishnabe Aski Nation, disagrees. “They were here on Saturday. Premier Doug Ford some ministers were here as well and they didn't even bother to reach out to First Nations leaders.” The chiefs are calling for changes, including officials at the top of the forest fire and emergency services for the ministry of natural resources, pending an independent investigation. And they want a public inquiry into decision making, emergency coordination, and communications with First Nations as well as over provincial preparedness. Jerrod Sessler addresses the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce candidate forum, July 21, 2026. (Courtesy Columbia Basin Herald / Facebook) A congressional candidate in Washington state has apologized for recent remarks that falsely claimed the Colville Tribe has an “incentive” for more fires, because they get “free money” from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). KREM 2 TV reports that Republican Jerrod Sessler hopes to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) in an upcoming primary. The district includes parts of the Colville Indian reservation and the entire Yakama Reservation, which are both experiencing wildfires. At a candidate forum on July 21, Sessler made the following comments about the Colville Tribe. “They don’t pay taxes for anything, but yet we fight those fires to the tune of millions of dollars, and they got a check from FEMA for $30 million for the fire. So what's the incentive for them? The incentive is more fires, ‘Because we get free money.'” Tribal officials condemned Sessler's remarks, reminding people that Native citizens pay federal income “and other applicable federal taxes” while outlining how FEMA funds disaster responses. In a statement sent to tribal leaders Monday, Sessler said his remarks were “ill-informed and incorrect” and there is “no excuse for making these sorts of public comments without verifying the information.” Sessler is one of 11 candidates vying for the 4th Congressional District in the August 4 primary. And the 2026 Indigenous Media Conference just wrapped up in Portland, Oreg. The Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) organized the three-day event, which held panels ranging from how to best cover the MMIP crisis to doing social videos. Melissa Greene-Blye (Miami Tribe of Oklahoma) of the IJA education committee says final registration totals came to roughly 490 attendees, one of the best turnouts yet. “That’s really exciting, um, to maybe find out that word of what’s happening is spreading and people are saying, ‘I want to be a part of this’, and they’re showing up.” Chuck Sams (Cayuse/Walla Walla, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation), the first Native director of the National Park Service, gave the keynote address. Greene-Blye says new developments also sparked interest. “The launch of the Pacific Islander Journalism Network at conference, there was a lot of excitement with that. The new bylaws were an important point of discussion, because it had been decades since they had been updated. Now, the Indigenous Journalist Association renaming is official, official, official on paper, in law.” The event wrapped up with the IJA awards and banquet, which honored Osage News editor Shannon Shaw Duty with two IJA distinguished awards. Former National Native News host Antonia Gonzales (Navajo) was also recognized for her 22 years of hosting this program. Next year's conference will be held in Minneapolis, Minn.

They were the result of policy choices. This episode follows the disaster from the storm itself to the way Congress prepares—or fails to prepare—the United States for the floods to come.

The mandate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has long been to help states and local governments meet the needs of communities after disaster strikes. But since the Trump Administration took office, the agency has been threatened with closure and has suffered massive budget and staff cuts, essentially crippling its ability to respond to catastrophic events. As natural disasters intensify as a result of climate change, who will step in to help our region recover if a huge wildfire or earthquake happens here? We discuss the impacts of a weakened FEMA, the growth of a private disaster relief industry, and talk through what it would take for FEMA to turn things around as an agency.

In the fourth installment of History Was Ghetto, John Cash sits down with one of the most devastating — and most misremembered — disasters in American history: Hurricane Katrina. Not the storm itself. The response. John breaks down how the federal government ran a simulation of this exact disaster thirteen months before Katrina hit and still wasn't ready when the real thing arrived. How the levees that failed were designed to handle the exact category of storm that hit them. How two hundred school buses sat in a New Orleans parking lot — enough to have moved tens of thousands of people with no other way out — and never moved once. And how when the water finally came, the people least equipped to survive it were placed in the neighborhoods most likely to flood. This episode covers the Hurricane Pam exercise, the levee failures, the Superdome conditions, FEMA's infamous response, the media chaos of the 24-hour news cycle during the storm, and what the data on who actually died tells us about how this country distributes risk. Block Court returns with three defendants — including a verdict that reframes the most famous photo to come out of Katrina. Funny where it can be. Honest where it has to be. History Was Ghetto is the show that calls the past exactly what it was. New episodes every 4th Wednesday of the Month.
