"Charlie Hansen, That's the Guy's Name" In this bizarre and unforgettable episode of Predators I've Caught, Chris recounts the case of Jared Cole Salvador—one of the few predators who seemed to know exactly what was coming… and still showed up. Caught in a Genesee County, Michigan sting, Salvador became infamous for nervously predicting Chris Hansen's arrival—only to mistakenly refer to him as “Charlie Hansen” with total confidence. In one of the most unsettling and surreal interviews to date, Salvador expressed disturbing self-loathing and paranoia, at one point telling the decoy he feared being "beat up or shot" and half-joking that this felt exactly like To Catch a Predator. Despite his anxiety and a long, hesitant drive, Salvador eventually arrived—only to be greeted by the man himself. From absurd mistaken identity to chilling confessions, this episode dives into the psychology, contradictions, and eerie foreknowledge of a man who saw it coming… but couldn't stop himself.

Send us a textJudge Milton Mack shares his mission to reform the mental health system by moving from crisis intervention to early treatment and prevention. His groundbreaking work in Michigan demonstrates how changing laws and procedures can dramatically improve outcomes while reducing costs.• Moving from an inpatient model to an outpatient world where over 90% of mental health care now occurs• Changing intervention standards to help people before they reach crisis, not waiting for the "magic moment" of danger• Implementing mediation for mental health cases to increase engagement and compliance• Creating a system that reduces trauma by avoiding unnecessary hospitalization and incarceration• Demonstrating success through Genesee County's 70% reduction in hospitalization and 90% treatment compliance• Building coordinated stakeholder systems where law enforcement, hospitals, courts and treatment providers work together• Focusing on upstream solutions to prevent people from entering the criminal justice system• Recognizing that early intervention in mental health is as important as early intervention for cancerWe need to intervene early—we wouldn't wait to treat someone with cancer when they're stage four, and we do just as much damage by waiting to treat mental illness. Assisted outpatient treatment is the most humane option, far better than hospitalization, jail, or homelessness. This approach benefits everyone.https://tonymantor.comhttps://Facebook.com/tonymantorhttps://instagram.com/tonymantorhttps://twitter.com/tonymantorhttps://youtube.com/tonymantormusicintro/outro music bed written by T.

Dormy House is a unique business that's focused on creating affordable housing solutions for club and resort employees, especially those in rural and remote areas where inventory is low and people may be priced out of the market. The founder is a real estate developer and former caddie and it was his experience as a caddie, with lengthy commutes and limited housing options near the courses where he worked, that inspired him to find a solution for workforce housing. He works with the team at Bandon Dunes and has already developed two buildings onsite for its employees. Also on this episode of the Club + Resort Talks podcast … The Saddlebrook Resort in Pasco County, Fla., is set for a sweeping transformation, thanks to a $72.5 million loan secured by its developers, Mast Capital and Amzak Capital Management.

The redevelopment plan will encompass a complete redesign of the resort's guestroom suites, lobby, meeting spaces, pool and outdoor areas, golf courses, and food and beverage facilities. Additional upgrades include significant enhancements to the resort's landscaping, sports facilities, and lifestyle amenities. Meadowbrook Golf Course in Lubbock, Texas, is preparing for a new chapter in its nearly century-long history. Established in the 1930s, the course has been a cornerstone of the local golfing community. Now under the management of Orion Golf, Meadowbrook is set to receive comprehensive upgrades aimed at revitalizing its facilities and programs. The new management plans to enhance the course's playability, amenities, and overall accessibility for the Lubbock community. Improvements will include new kitchen equipment, an expanded food menu, clubhouse renovations, and the introduction of golf leagues and clinics. These upgrades are designed to create a consistent, high-quality experience that caters to a broad range of golfers and visitors.

Sometimes they are appointed by a mayor or city council. Sometimes they are selected through the civil service act. Sometimes they are not called Chief's of Police at all.Police Commissioners are another term, frequently found in the larger metropolitan areas Chief,When we talk about the police chief's we are talking about the head of a municipal police department not affiliated with the local sheriff's office.What do chief's do?Sorry to make you laugh, it wasn't a trick question.Chiefs of police are typically responsible for operational oversight, budgeting, planning, discipline, direction, regulations, communications, and in smaller agencies general police work. All at the behest of a governing body, either mayor or city council.It's not an easy job.I rose to the highest levels of administration in my police department. I was third in charge, so while I didn't ever actually do the job, I did learn one thing.You can't pay me enough to do it.[Insert Intro]George Sippert spent 32 years serving the people of Flint Township Michigan. Flint township is located on the west side of the city of Flint Michigan. He took over as chief of police in 2004 an served until 2018.

This podcast is sponsored in part by EPIC-MRA Opinion Research This week's guest: Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Flint) on the mess that is the House GOP An alternate title for this week: the “We All Feel a Little Dumber” edition of A Republic, If You Can Keep It. We are dumber for having listened to 2 hours of 7 people auditioning for 2nd place in the Republican presidential rankings – a race that looks like the 1973 Belmont Stakes when the second-place horse finished 31 lengths behind Secretariat. We're recording on Friday morning … about 36 hours before it's likely the federal government will go into shutdown mode. We are joined by one of the top Democrats in the U.S. House, Congressman Dan Kildee, to talk budget, impeachment, Kevin McCarthy and the UAW strike. Also this week: Joe Biden and Donald Trump both make Michigan visits: one of them to support union workers, the other at the invitation of the owner of a non-union auto supplier.  What's left of the official Michigan Republican Party held a leadership conference on Mackinac Island missing party leaders, but with fringe conspiracy-spouting crazies well represented. Both of Michigan's senators have joined in calls for the resignation of indicted New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez.
