In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the U.S.-backed operation that killed El Mencho, leader of Mexico's most violent cartel, triggering nationwide retaliation and raising serious security concerns for Americans both abroad and at home. Bryan then reports major shifts across the Americas as Venezuela expels Cuban security forces under U.S. pressure, Canada caves to tariff threats over Gulfstream jet certifications, and the Supreme Court limits presidential tariff authority, forcing the White House to pivot fast. He also details the CIA's quiet removal of politicized intelligence reports, Susan Rice's warning of political retribution against Trump-aligned corporations, a major asylum work permit crackdown, English-only commercial driver testing, and new action against "chameleon" trucking companies. The episode closes with hopeful research out of Sweden showing that popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs may dramatically reduce alcohol cravings and relapse risk, adding to growing evidence that both medicine and faith play powerful roles in recovery.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 23 2026 Wright Report, El Mencho killed Jalisco New Generation Cartel, US Mexico Special Forces operation, cartel retaliation Puerto Vallarta Guadalajara shelter in place, Trump Sheinbaum cooperation, Venezuela expels Cuban guards Delcy Rodriguez, Canada Gulfstream tariff pressure Georgia Wisconsin jobs, Supreme Court tariff ruling 15 percent global rate, CIA politicized intelligence reports removed, Susan Rice corporate retaliation threat Netflix board, asylum work permit freeze 14 years backlog, CDL English only rule trucking crackdown, chameleon carriers residential registrations, GLP-1 alcohol cravings semaglutide Ozempic Wegovy Mounjaro Sweden study

FAA reorganization and shutdown prep, Airbus A220 stretch, certification as a trade tool, UPS MD‑11 retirement, 777X engine snag, fatal Challenger crash, iconic aircraft, new NASM galleries, aviation career issues, aviation-themed music, and a future DC‑3/CH‑47 fly‑in. Aviation News FAA Adds Departments, Shuffles Roles The new FAA reorganization differs from the previous structure mainly by centralizing safety oversight, creating new modernization and advanced technology offices, and consolidating internal support functions under new top-level offices. A new, agency‑wide Aviation Safety Management System (SMS) Organization implements a single safety system and risk-management strategy across all FAA lines of business, rather than having safety functions and metrics siloed in multiple offices as before. An Airspace Modernization Office is dedicated to rolling out the “brand‑new air traffic control system” and overseeing broader NAS modernization, which previously was handled within the Air Traffic Organization and other units rather than a single, focused office. An Office of Advanced Aviation Technologies integrates UAS, eVTOL, AAM, electric, and supersonic aircraft into the NAS. These functions were formerly spread among UAS integration, NextGen, and various certification/AVS branches. A new Administration and Finance Office consolidates the functions of finance, information technology, and human resources. Previously, they were distributed across multiple lines of business and staff offices. A Policy and Legal Office pulls together policy, legal, stakeholder engagement, financial assistance, and the agency's rulemaking/regulatory office. Previously, rulemaking and policy lived mainly within Aviation Safety and other distinct policy offices. The Administration and Finance Office, Policy and Legal Office, Air Traffic Organization, and the new safety and modernization offices all report to the Administrator. Shutdown Plan for FAA Involves 10K Furloughs The FAA's plan for the short-lived partial government shutdown was to furlough more than 10,000 FAA workers and withhold pay for 13,835 air traffic controllers. Exclusive: Airbus to kickstart pre-sales for a larger A220 jet, sources say Airbus is considering launching an A220 stretch – the A220-500 with around 180 seats. This is a “simple stretch,” meaning the same wings, the same engines, and a longer fuselage. The Airbus Board approval is required before the A220-500 can be formally launched. Trade War Skies: Understanding Trump's 2026 Decertification Order on Canadian Aircraft In a January 30, 2026, social media post, President Donald Trump announced the “decertification” of all Canadian-manufactured aircraft if Gulfstream aircraft were not certified by Canada. The President alleged that Canada has “wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly” refused to certify U.S.-made G500, G600, G700, and G800 jets. If Transport Canada did not act immediately, a 50% tariff would be implemented. Over 5,400 Canadian-built planes are registered in the U.S. This sent shockwaves, if not panic, throughout the industry. With time, clarification has come: The order would apply to new aircraft airworthiness certificates and wouldn't ground the fleet. The IAM (International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers) urged a separation of safety regulation and political grievances. “You can't weaponize the certification process,” said union leaders, emphasizing that aviation safety should remain an independent pillar of global travel. Some feel Transport Canada is holding off on certifying the G700 and G800 mainly because they are not willing to mirror the FAA's temporary fuel‑icing exemption. The Canadian regulator wants the full cold‑weather and icing compliance demonstrated first. UPS won't resurrect MD-11 fleet after deadly crash, takes $137M charge UPS is retiring its fleet of 27 MD-11 aircraft and, in the process, writing off $137 million after-tax. The MD-11s will be replaced with twin-engine Boeing 767-300 cargo jets. In response to the grounding of the MD-11 fleet, UPS repositioned some aircraft from outside the US, expanded transportation by truck, and leased planes from partner airlines. During an earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes said, “Over the next fifteen months, we expect to take delivery of 18 new Boeing 767 aircraft, with 15 expected to deliver this year. As new aircraft join our fleet, we will step down the leased aircraft and associated expenses. We believe these actions are consistent with building a more efficient global network positioned for growth, flexibility and profitability.” Boeing's certification ‘hangover' drags on with new 777X issue Also, Boeing has identified an engine durability issue with the General Electric GE9X engines that power the 777X, although CEO Kelly Ortberg says this will not impact the first 777X delivery in 2027. Also, Ortberg signalled to investors that the company plans to increase 737 MAX production this year to 47 from 42 planes per month. Boeing has been preparing a fourth MAX production line in Everett to produce 737 MAX 10s, although the aircraft has yet to receive certification. Boeing posted job openings for the line, and the tooling is complete. Tracing the hours after a fatal plane crash in Bangor The Bombardier Challenger 600‑series business jet crashed during takeoff from Bangor International Airport in a snowstorm, killing all six people on board and triggering a complex, weather‑hampered investigation. The business jet was operating a private flight from Bangor to Europe with two crew and four passengers from the Houston area. The plane had been deiced and was cleared for takeoff on runway 33 around 7:40–7:45 p.m., in heavy snow, with visibility down to about three‑quarters of a mile and several inches of snow on the ground. Within roughly a minute of takeoff clearance, controllers halted all traffic after the aircraft crashed on or near the runway, coming to rest inverted and on fire. Possible lines of inquiry include: Wing contamination and ice buildup are known risk factors that have contributed to past Challenger‑series accidents. Aircraft performance and whether the wing stalled on takeoff. Deicing procedures and timing relative to takeoff, including whether holdover times were exceeded. Crew qualifications, training, and recent duty history. Mechanical condition of the aircraft and any anomalies captured on the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, which have been sent to the NTSB in Washington.

Host: Cindy Allen Show: Simply Trade – Cindy's Version Published: January 30, 2026 Length: ~13 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Exile: Is the U.S. Being Traded Around? In this week's Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, unpacks one of the busiest weeks we've seen in international trade—and frames it all through the lens of Taylor Swift's song “Exile.” From fresh tariff threats to shifting alliances and possible government shutdowns, Cindy explains why it's starting to feel like the United States is watching global trade move on without us.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode: New U.S. tariff threats tied to Cuban oil Announcement of tariffs on countries that sell or buy oil from Cuba and why this may largely hit usual suspects like Venezuela and Russia.​ Trade partners going “around” the U.S. How the UK's outreach to China and Canada's new deal with China signal a trend of countries pursuing their own economic interests directly with Beijing.​ Canada under pressure—again Trump's 100% tariff threat on Canadian goods over the China deal and the newer threat to decertify Canadian-made jets until Gulfstream aircraft are certified in Canada—and why both moves raise legal and practical questions.​ Shifting tariff landscapes Guatemala and El Salvador trade deals and expected rate ranges. Possible hike back to 25% on South Korean goods if their trade deal isn't approved. Potential rollback of the 25% tariff on India tied to Russian oil purchases.​ 232 duties and a big valuation court fight Why CBP centers are informally pushing an “all-in” cost model (materials, labor, manufacturing) for steel, aluminum, and now copper derivatives—and how that conflicts with the 232 declaration language. The new Court of International Trade case challenging that interpretation and what it could mean for importers paying 232 on components. Why many companies are considering filing protests now to preserve their rights pending the outcome—and why you need to talk to your own counsel.​ ACE refunds are coming—ready or not Electronic refunds are set to go live February 6. What importers need to do with their brokers and 4811 setup, and why brokers must confirm their own information is on file in ACE. The big question: what happens to refunds if the setup is incomplete?​ EU deal on pause Why the EU is putting its U.S. deal “on hold” and how that could trigger a return to higher tariffs if the U.S. responds like it has with South Korea.​ Hill updates: express couriers and DHS funding A new bill proposal for simplified declarations on express shipments under 600 dollars, and what it could mean if you use or compete with express couriers. The looming DHS/CBP funding issue, the likelihood of a shutdown, and what a shutdown typically means for cargo processing versus outreach and meetings.​ Why “Exile”? Cindy connects the week's news to “Exile,” focusing on the line, “You were my town, now I'm in exile seeing you out.” She explores how U.S. policy is driven by a belief that the country has been taken advantage of and needs to re-shore manufacturing and secure critical sectors, while much of the world sees it as a pullback from free trade and trade facilitation that once underpinned global stability.​ By contrasting these two perspectives—like the two voices in the song—Cindy argues the U.S. risks finding itself “in exile” as trade partners build new frameworks around us, and warns that we've “seen this film before” in history with outcomes that weren't ideal.​ Key Takeaways: Expect more volatility in tariffs and trade relationships as the U.S. pushes assertive trade tools and partners seek alternative paths.​ Importers dealing with 232 duties on steel, aluminum, and copper inputs should closely watch the new court case and coordinate with counsel on protest strategy.​ ACE electronic refunds are an opportunity and a risk—data and 4811 setups must be right to avoid missing money you're owed.​ Even in a shutdown, cargo should keep moving, but engagement with CBP and DHS will be limited.​ Strategically, the U.S. may be drifting into a kind of trade “exile”—and it's critical for companies to understand both the domestic narrative and how the rest of the world is reacting. --------  Presented by: Global Training Center​ Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global Training Center): https://globaltrainingcenter.com/trade-geeks/ ​

There's a lot of advice about traveling to Iceland, and not all of it is helpful. In this podcast episode, I'm breaking down five common Iceland travel myths that end up quietly costing travelers time, money, and energy. From unrealistic expectations about weather to misunderstandings around driving and seasons, this episode will help you spot the assumptions that derail trips before they even begin. The 5 Iceland Travel Myths That Mislead Visitors Myth 1: “Iceland is always freezing cold” Iceland has a reputation for being brutally cold, but that's not actually true year-round — or even most of the time. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, temperatures are often milder than people expect, especially along the coast. The bigger challenge for travelers is usually wind and changing weather, not extreme cold. When people assume “freezing,” they often overpack or misunderstand what conditions they're really preparing for. Myth 2: “You need extreme winter clothing” Many travelers assume they need expedition-level gear just to survive Iceland, which leads to overpacking and overspending. In reality, what matters most is layering properly, not wearing the heaviest gear possible. Waterproof and windproof layers are far more important than bulky items. Dressing smartly, not excessively, makes travel easier, more comfortable, and more flexible. Myth 3: “Winter driving is too dangerous for tourists” Winter driving in Iceland isn't automatically dangerous, but it does require preparation and realistic expectations. Many visitors drive safely every winter by choosing appropriate vehicles, monitoring weather forecasts, and adjusting their plans when needed. Conditions vary significantly by region and day, which is why flexibility and local awareness matter more than fear. The real risk comes from underestimating the conditions, not from driving itself. Myth 4: “It's completely dark in Iceland during winter” While daylight hours are shorter in winter, Iceland is not in total darkness. Even around the winter solstice, there are several hours of daylight, including long twilight periods. Many travelers are surprised by how usable the day still feels — especially when plans are adjusted to match daylight windows. Understanding how daylight actually works makes winter travel far less intimidating. Myth 5: “You can only see the Northern Lights in winter” Winter is the most popular season for Northern Lights viewing, but it's not the only time they appear. The aurora can be visible in late fall and early spring as well — whenever skies are dark enough and solar activity cooperates. The key factors are darkness, clear skies, and patience, not just the season itself. This myth often causes people to unnecessarily limit their travel options. The Real Issue: Assumptions, Not Bad Decisions Most Iceland travel mistakes aren't about bad decisions, they're about bad assumptions. When travelers rely on oversimplified advice or viral content, they often plan trips that don't match reality. Once those assumptions are corrected, Iceland becomes far easier and more enjoyable to explore. Plan Iceland With Clarity, Not Guesswork If you're planning a trip to Iceland and feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information, I want to invite you to my Live Iceland Trip Planning Workshop happening on January 31st, 2026. It's the first workshop of the year and is especially helpful if you're planning a trip for 2026 or beyond and want a strong head start. This is a live, interactive workshop where I walk you through how to plan your trip realistically — from driving distances and timing, to choosing the right season, and building an itinerary that actually works. You'll also be able to ask me your questions in real time, which is honestly one of the most valuable parts. I also do a giveaway at the end of the workshop, including Iceland-related prizes. One of those prizes is a one-on-one video trip consultation with me, which is usually fully booked since I only open a few slots each year. If you want clarity, confidence, and a solid plan instead of stress, you can find all the details and sign up using the link in the show notes or here

The 10th running Saturday is the focus of this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Update and followup to Episode 32, The Bermuda Triangle. For decades, the Bermuda Triangle has haunted the public imagination—a cursed patch of ocean where ships vanish and planes disappear into thin air. From the chilling mystery of Flight 19 to the sudden loss of the USS Cyclops, stories of vanishing vessels have fueled theories ranging from alien abductions to time warps and lost civilizations. But what if the truth was hiding in plain sight—beneath the waves all along?In this episode, we journey beyond the legends to uncover the real science behind the Bermuda Triangle's eerie reputation. Featuring insights from renowned science communicator Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki and oceanographer Dr. Simon Boxall, we explore how natural forces—not the supernatural—may finally explain the area's most baffling disappearances.From violent Gulf Stream currents and unpredictable weather to compass anomalies and the deadly phenomenon of rogue waves, we unpack the evidence that rewrites everything we thought we knew. You'll hear how a single 100-foot wave could snap a steel ship in two—and why some vessels vanish without even a distress call.Forget sea monsters and aliens. The real story is more thrilling, and far more real. Some are saying the Bermuda Triangle mystery is now solved...www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

James Kamis discusses his theory that oceanic warm blobs, such as the one in the northern Pacific Ocean, are primarily caused by geological activities like underwater volcanic eruptions and tectonic movements rather than atmospheric conditions. Drawing on evidence from recent high-resolution ocean floor mapping and historical data on seismic and volcanic activities, Kamis highlights the significant role of geological features in heating ocean waters. He also challenges the mainstream view held by NASA and NOAA, advocating for a more comprehensive consideration of geological factors in climate studies.00:00 Introduction to the Ocean Warming Hotspot00:48 Understanding the Warm Blob01:45 Geological Features of the Ocean Floor05:06 The Pacific Ring of Fire07:00 Mapping the Ocean Floor08:40 Volcanic Activity and Climate Impact10:21 Geological Activity in Japan15:19 The Kamchatka Peninsula18:23 Characteristics of the Warm Blob23:29 Cool Blob Phenomenon27:21 Other Warm Blobs Across the Ocean28:56 Heat Transfer to the Arctic Ocean30:01 Volcanic Activity in the Pacific Ocean30:51 Axial Volcano and Seismic Activity33:15 El Nino and Geological Evidence36:50 Gulf Stream and Geological Impacts40:38 Geological Theories and Predictions47:24 Books and Further Reading52:21 Final Thoughts and AcknowledgementsJames Kamis articles: https://climatechangedispatch.com/?s=kamisJune 2023 book by James E.

Today's episode is a bit of a departure from the usual format. I'm re-sharing a recent conversation I had on my friend Brendan Leonard's new podcast, My Favorite Things. I'm sure most of y'all are already familiar with Brendan's work, but for those of you who aren't, he's an author, illustrator, filmmaker, and creator of Semi-Rad.  Brendan's new podcast is built around a simple but fascinating premise: conversations about the books, films, art, and creative works that have helped shape a person's life and career. In this conversation, we spend less time on what I do, and more time on what's influenced how I think and live — from Theodore Roosevelt and Sebastian Junger to a Winslow Homer painting and a movie that's been oddly entertaining and instructive over the years. (I bet y'all can guess the movie.) There are already several excellent episodes live featuring thoughtful, interesting people, and Brendan has created something both entertaining and instructive with this podcast. If you enjoy this conversation, I'd encourage you to subscribe, explore the rest of the episodes, and share the show with any of your friends who might enjoy it. Thanks so much for listening and here's my appearance on My Favorite Things. --- My Favorite Things: Apple, Spotify, YouTube Episode Website Semi-Rad.com --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 2:10: Background — Mountain & Prairie, family, and the "strenuous life" 5:00: Favorite Thing #1 — Jimmy Buffett liner notes 11:30: Favorite Thing #2 — The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt 20:00: Favorite Thing #3 — Winslow Homer's The Gulf Stream 28:15: Favorite Thing #4 — Tribe by Sebastian Junger 39:30: Favorite Thing #5 — Road House 52:15: Closing reflections --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts
