In this powerful episode, recovery veterans Christopher Doyle and Joe Courtney (with 48 combined years of sobriety) dismantle the dangerous myth that you can't help someone until they "want it" or "hit bottom." Guest's Info Joe Courtney is many people's first phone call when they need help with an addicted loved one. Joe is married 24 years, has 4 beautiful children, and 30 years sober. Highlights The truth behind "they have to want it" that the conventional wisdom gets totally backward Why your loved one's first meeting rarely happens because they chose it (and what actually gets them there) The surprisingly simple sentence that's gotten hundreds of resistant addicts to agree to help Why the person who got you sober might be the one person you never thank The heartbreaking story of waiting "until they're ready" that ended in a funeral just days before this recording The counterintuitive leverage point that turns "I don't have a problem" into "I'll go to one meeting" Why the most resistant addicts who fought all the way to rehab are often the most grateful afterward The shockingly simple 10-word question that can be your loved one's turning point Joe and Chris reveal their personal journeys, relapse stories, and the practical tactics they've used to help countless others find recovery - even when those people initially wanted nothing to do with getting help. This isn't just theory - it's battle-tested wisdom from two men who've been on both sides: the resistant addict and the person making that vital first call.

Jim and Ray welcome U.S. Congressman Joe Courtney, who represents Connecticut's 2nd District, home to the General Dynamics Electric Boat shipyard in Groton. Rep. Courtney addresses concerns raised by some of our previous guests–most notably former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull–about whether U.S. Virginia-class submarine construction can support Australia's requirements under the Australia-U.K.-U.S. (AUKUS) agreement.Representative Courtney emphasizes that even in America's polarized political climate, AUKUS retains bipartisan support, and that keeping up with its nuclear-powered submarine production goals is essential for both U.S. and Australian national security.Even so, supply chain and workforce development challenges continue to threaten the program, and America's defense industrial base will need even more attention to make sure the U.S. and its allies can keep pace with the rapidly growing military threat posed by China.Our podcast is produced by IEJ Media, sharing news that matters on statecraft & instruments of national power.Sponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific.

President Joe Biden is calling on President-elect Donald Trump to reconsider tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Earlier this week, Trump promised massive tariffs on goods from the two countries. He accused Mexico and Canada of failing to take adequate action to prevent fentanyl and illegal immigrants from flowing into the United States. To examine the issue, NTD speaks with Mike Leon, the policy and strategy director at the Free and Equal Elections Foundation and the host of the “Can We Please Talk?” podcast. Several Democratic lawmakers from Connecticut said they received bomb threats this Thanksgiving Day. Reps. Joe Courtney, Jahana Hayes, Jim Himes, and John Larson issued individual statements to say they were targeted. Law enforcement looked into each threat and said there was no evidence of any bombs. Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is set to reopen after the devastating 2019 fire. Over five years, archaeologists and restorers have uncovered amazing details about its design.

According to the National Retail Federation, a record 183 million people are expected to shop in-store and online between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday this year. Despite the convenience and ease of online shopping, about two-thirds of Black Friday shoppers surveyed said they plan to shop in stores on Friday. At least six Democratic members of Congress from Connecticut have said they were targeted with bomb threats to their homes, including Sen. Chris Murphy and all five House members—Reps. Jim Himes, Joe Courtney, John Larson, Jahana Hayes, and Rosa DeLauro. Police who responded said they didn't find any evidence of explosives on the lawmakers' properties. The UK Parliament gave initial support to a new bill to legalize assisted dying on Friday, paving the way for months of further debate. The bill would provide mentally competent, terminally ill adults in England and Wales—who doctors assess to have six months or less left to live—with the right to choose to end their lives with medical help. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Just for a change, we start with some positive developments, including a bilateral security treaty with PNG. Another positive item is a contract with Bisalloy to start qualifying steel for Australian built nuclear powered submarines. That looks to be 15 years earlier than necessary and might have more to do with US reporting requirements rather than Australian needs. Speaking of which, one of the main AUKUS boosters in Congress is Joe Courtney. He seems like a very nice reasonable person – but his Congressional district includes the Electric Boat submarine yard in Groton. It is owned by General Dynamics, which also happens to be his largest single donor. There's nothing improper in this – it's just the way politics works in the US but Australians need to be aware of the connection. Regarding Israel's continuing pounding of Gaza with horrendous civilian casualties: please stop. You are damaging your own international reputation and it won't wipe out Hamas, which is an idea, not a building or a person. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What A Week (5/31)Intro: (Cue intro music) Hey everyone, welcome back to What a week! I'm your host, Olivia Lee, here to deliver your weekly dose of the news. Let's get started!In Local News: https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2022/05/portland-government-email-account-used-to-defraud-city-of-14m-in-cybersecurity-breach.htmlLast Friday, Portland officials announced that the city is out $1.4 million dollars after a person or group outside the city used a government email account to commit a fraudulent financial transaction. The costly cybersecurity breach occurred in late April but was only discovered weeks later on May 17th when the city flagged a second transaction attempt from the same account, according to a news release issued by the Office of Management and Finance. The news release did not disclose what bureau or office the email account belonged to or how it could be used to draw down substantial sums of money from city coffers. Upon learning of the breach, the city said it immediately launched an investigation and notified the Portland Police Bureau, FBI, and U.S. Secret Service. City officials said this past Friday that they would release no additional information in order to quote “protect the security and integrity of the investigation” end quote. In-state news: https://apnews.com/article/covid-politics-health-oregon-us-navy-70ad479c54e8210a709dcf886222d7b7The USS Oregon officially joined the U.S. Navy fleet this past Saturday, marking the first submarine named after the Beaver State in more than a century. The newest Virginia-class fast attack submarine, which can dive to depths greater than 800 feet, was originally (krisened) christened in 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic created some quote “slips in schedule” for the crew, said U.S. Representative Joe Courtney,, whose district includes General Dynamics Corp.'s Electric Boat Shipyard where the 377-foot submarine was constructed. It marked the Navy's first in-person commission ceremony since 2019, due to the pandemic. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, who said she felt at home with the mist and overcast skies, urged the crew members to embrace the traits Oregonian residents possess, including a sense of adventure as well as being courageous, collaborative and compassionate. In National News: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/texas-school-shooting-victims-fourth-grade?ref=bfbiobuzzfeednews&utm_campaign=bfbiobuzzfeednews&utm_source=buzzfeed.bio&p_id=95783 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/30/first-thing-biden-visits-uvalde-after-mass-shooting Last Tuesday, 2 teachers and 19 children were killed after a shooter opened fire in a Texas elementary school. The incident at Robb Elementary in (youvawllldee) Uvalde, a small city roughly 80 miles west of San Antonio, was the deadliest shooting at a grade school since the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre in 2012. The children, who were largely in fourth grade, were fatally shot in the same classroom just days before summer vacation would have begun. Victims of the shooting were mourned online in social media tributes by their families. The school has opened a memorial fund in their honor. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden visited Uvalde this past Sunday to pay their respects to the victims, and the community. The visit marked the second presidential visit related to a massacre within two weeks after a racist attack in Buffalo, New York, as Democrats in Washington offered tentative hope of bipartisan gun reform legislation in Congress. In International News: https://www.democracynow.org/2022/5/27/headlines/only_yes_means_yes_spanish_parliament_passes_sexual_consent_bill Last week, Spain's parliament approved landmark legislation that would codify the definition of consent as an explicit expression of a person's will into Spanish law, freeing survivors of sexual assault from the burden of having to prove violence or intimidation was used against them. The new law, which was known as the quote “only yes means yes” bill, was introduced to give a solid definition of what rape is. Before the introduction of the bill, rape cases in Spain were decided on whether the survivor was threatened with other physical violence or intimidated. Irene Montero, Spain's equalities minister, celebrated the new law and said in a statement quote, “From today, Spain is a freer, safer country for all women. We are going to swap violence for freedom, we are going to swap fear for desire,” end quote. The bill still has to pass through the Senate before being enshrined in Spanish law. Lastly here is the wildcard news for the week: https://www.npr.org/2022/05/30/1102044111/man-throws-cake-at-mona-lisa-the-louvre This past Sunday, a man who seemed to have been disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake at the Mona Lisa in Paris. A video posted on social media shows security guards at the Louvre Museum escorting the man away as he spoke in French about the planet. According to The Associated Press, the man reportedly said quote, "Think of the Earth! There are people who are destroying the Earth! Think about it. Artists tell you: think of the Earth. That's why I did this," end quote. Another video showed someone clearing the cake off the glass protecting the Mona Lisa, as onlookers held up their phones to film the incident's aftermath. The 36-year-old man was detained and sent to a psychiatric unit, according to the AP. The original Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci between 1503 and 1519. The oil painting hangs in the Louvre's largest room, according to the museum's website. Closing: Well that wraps up What a Week! Stay safe and see you guys next week.

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Colt State Park has 464 acres of lawns, four miles of paved pathways, hiking trails, historic stone walls, and one of the state's most spectacular shorelines? It's a favorite among visitors and locals alike. The park lies minutes away from the historic center of Bristol - which is actually home of the oldest 4th of July parade in the country. It's also adjacent to Coggeshall Farm Museum and the Bristol Town Beach and Sports Complex. Now for our feature story: Mystic Aquarium was awarded $6 million in relief funding through the American Rescue Plan. The funding came to the aquarium through the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, which was authorized by Congress and supported by the American Rescue Plan Act. Created to provide economic relief to live venues shuttered by COVID-19 and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration,iImpacted venues are able to put the relief funding to use in a variety of ways, from payroll costs, to rent and utility payments, scheduled mortgage and debt payments, worker protection expenditures, state and local taxes and fees, insurance payments, maintenance and administrative costs, and a wide variety of other ordinary and necessary business expenses. Connecticut Representative, Joe Courtney, helped create the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program when he voted to authorize $15 billion for the program. The act also authorized an additional $1.5 billion to assist shuttered live venues. Stephen Coan, president and CEO of the Mystic Aquarium said: "Mystic Aquarium is grateful to Rep. Courtney for his support and leadership throughout the pandemic. We faced an enormous financial challenge in 2020, as despite being closed to the public and not earning any revenue for several months, we still had the responsibility of caring for, feeding, and providing veterinary care and life support for more than 7,000 marine animals, including many federally protected and endangered species. That key responsibility, along with being the largest provider of STEM education in the State of Connecticut and the region's only federally authorized marine mammal rescue response team for much of Connecticut, New York State and Rhode Island, meant that we could not completely shut down operations."

She was the beloved wife of David Eilbott; mother of three children, and; sister to three siblings; and aunt to 12 nieces and nephews. She was born in Westerly, RI, and completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Rhode Island, and the Physician Associate Program at Yale University. Early in her career as a PA, she cared for HIV positive patients at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, and subsequently decided to change specialties to become a pediatric asthma and allergy specialist working with Dr. Gary Wanerka at Branford Pediatrics and Allergy. Joan was adored by her family, friends, neighbors, and patients. She was a wonderfully empathetic listener who gave heartfelt advice and provided a needed shoulder for people to lean on in times of need. The family wishes to thank all those who supported Joan and their family during these difficult past two years. We particularly wish to thank her internist Dr. Denis Miller at Branford Internal Medicine, her neurologist Dr. Merit Cudkowicz at Mass General Hospital, and Dr. Donna Criscenzo at VNA Community Healthcare and Hospice.

That's why it's crucial to always keep our word and be accountable for our mistakes. Thursday Throwdown is our short show with everyday, relatable dads. Today, Dad Edge Alliance member Joe Courtney talks about teaching kids to take ownership. For the show notes, links, and the application to The Dad Edge Alliance go to gooddadproject.com/thursday119.

After a health care rant, we look at H.R. 1406, a bill that would have allowed workers to get vacation time instead of cash for their overtime. It's a bill I'd actually like to see survive.

We take a close look at the Violence Against Women Act re-authorization as the President signs it into law. We also look at the continuing resolution passed by the House, which funds defense while leaving the rest of the government in chaos. S. 47: Violence Against Women Re-Authorization Act of 2013... Was signed by the President! This one is law. President Obama signs VAWA on March 7, 2013 Definition Changes Adds stalking and date rape to the list of offenses. Includes cyber stalking in the definition of stalking. Replaces "spouses" with "parties' Indian Affairs Adds "sex trafficking" and "stalking" to eligible grant programs for Indian women Allows Indian tribes to have jurisdiction over domestic violence crimes unless neither the victim or defendant are Indians. Includes D.C., Indian tribes, and Puerto Rico in the grant funding (decreases funding) Immigrants Allows children to stay in U.S. on their victimized parent's U Visa even if they turn 21 while the VISA is pending New Programs Grants for training programs for law enforcement and medical personnel Funding for pro-bono legal assistance for victims Protects the confidentiality of child victims of domestic violence or sexual assault Protects students from violence stemming from their immigrant status and gender identity Grants for elder abuse training; Defines "elder" as someone over the age of 50 Prevents victims from being evicted from public housing because they were involved in a domestic violence incident, however, the violent person can be evicted. Public housing authorities will need to transfer victims to new housing if their safety is at risk and they request the transfer. Orders an audit of unprocessed DNA evidence for sexual assault crimes that haven't passed the statute of limitations. Program ends 12/31/18. Prohibits any lobbying activity in relation to DNA audit grants and prohibits violators from receiving a grant for at least 5 years. 6 months after President Obama signs the bill, DHS has to publish final standards for the punishment of sexual assault in immigrant prisons, including private prisons. Prevents marriage brokers from providing information on minors Penalty Changes Penalty for assault with intent to murder is limited to 20 years and a fine Penalty for assault by attempted suffocation limited to 10 years and a fine… suffocation is regardless of intent or visible injury Report Comptroller General of the United States will issue a report to Congress in two years on the use of foreign labor contractors by U.S. employers. It will include the role of labor recruiters that provide low-wage foreigners to companies, the effectiveness of current regulators enforcement of laws already on the books, describe the jobs the foreigners are doing and how many of them are here, and identify abuses of foreigners including use of fees and debts. Funding Deletes ‘‘non- profit, non-governmental victim services or-ganizations,'' or "non-profit, private" programs and replaces it with ‘‘victim service providers, staff from population specific organizations,' in a couple of sections; but not all. Prohibits grants from going to non-profits with offshore tax havens Prohibits more than $20,000 of grant money from going towards conferences Vast majority of funding going DOWN Human Trafficking Title 12: Secretary of State will establish a fund (amount unknown) to give to foreign governments to prevent human trafficking. Orders them to come up with a strategy and suggest ways for oversight; very broad. Qualifying gov'ts need to have high prevalence of trafficking and a "demonstrated political motivation" to address it. Funding can be terminated if State determines the country is doing things contrary to our national interest or doesn't "adhere to it's responsibilities" under the agreement. Issues four grants up to $2 million each for combatting sex trafficking of minors. One of the grants needs to go to a small state with less than 5 million people. Most of the money needs to go towards residential care of minor victims of sex trafficking. Overhead can't exceed 3%. Recipients need to match the grant for every year they get the gov't money and their match percentage goes up every year the grant is renewed, topping out at 50% on their third year. Program good for four years. Decreases funding by half, from 20 to 10 million for law enforcement grants for trafficking. Increases funding for victims in other countries from 12.5 million to 14.5 million/year H.R. 933: House Continuing Resolution Right now, we are in the middle of two crisis': The sequester is one, an unfunded government that would have to shut down on March 27th is the other. This bill does nothing to solve the sequester. In fact, it expressly keeps it in place. Two of the 12 appropriations categories are funded until the end of the year in the responsible appropriations way in this bill. The other 10 are funded as a continuing resolution, that keeps the funding at old chaotic levels. The House did real work on the Defense appropriations; the Senate is going to change everything on the domestic side as this bill has a real chance of becoming law. In the defense section of the bill, I looked at what items were dramatically over-funded in comparison to what was requested by President Obama and the military. Fighter Jets Boeing F/A-18E/F fighter jets would be given $605 million more than was requested for 11 new airplanes. Boeing/Northrup EA-18G Growler fighter jets are the electronic warfare version of the Boeing F/A-18E/F. They would be given $45 million for 15 new aircraft. Budget request from the military for this item: $0. $0 request, given $45 million for 15 new aircraft Ships/Submarines General Dynamics Virginia Class nuclear submarines would be given $778 million more than requested. These submarines are built in two locations, which makes the submarines more expensive but the program is designed to keep both shipyards in operation. Location #1: General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton, CT. The Representative in Groton, CT is Joe Courtney; his top campaign contributors are General Dynamics and Northrup Grumman. Location #2: Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Company. The Representative in Newport News, VA is Rob Wittman; he is on the Armed Services Committee & his top campaign contributor is Northrup Grumman. --- Northrup Grumman LPD-17 naval ship would be constructed at Huntington Ingalls Industries in Newport News, VA for $263 million. Budget request for this item: $0. The Representative in Newport News, VA is Rob Wittman; he sits on the Armed Services Committee and his top campaign contributor is Northrup Grumman. --- A DDG-51 Destroyer would be ordered for $1 billion. No one requested this ship. DDG-51 Destroyers are built in either Bath, ME by General Dynamic's Bath Iron Works or in Newport News, VA by Huntington Ingalls Industries (formerly Northrup Grumman). Lockheed is the lead contractor for the DDG-51 combat system Lockheed Martin [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="525"] C-130 Bad-ass Cargo Plane[/caption] Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules military transport planes would be given $180 million. Budget request: $0. --- Lockheed Martin KC-130J aerial refueling planes would be given $130 million more than requested for 2 additional planes. --- Lockheed HC-130J Coast Guard search & rescue planes would be given $126 million more than requested for 2 extra planes. --- Lockheed MC-130J Special Forces transport planes also given $126 million more than requested for 2 extra planes. --- C-130 planes are manufactured in Marietta, GA and Lockheed brags that it's "the longest continuously operating aircraft production line in history." The Representative in Marietta, GA is Phil Gingrey. Phil Gingrey's second largest campaign contributor is Lockheed Martin. --- C-27J cargo aircraft, manufactured by an Italian company but whose engines and systems are produced by Lockheed Martin, would be given $138 million. Budget request: $0. Drones Northrup Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk surveillance drones would be given $107 million more than requested in order to increase the fleet to 21 drones. Pentagon was unimpressed with the RQ-4 Global Hawk's performance after deploying them to Japan after the earthquake/tsunami and after they were used in Libya. March 2012: Air Force announced they will put the 14 Global Hawks they already have into storage, and 4 under construction would go directing into the "bone-yard" Northrup launched a multimedia campaign to block the cuts. Global Hawk's are produced in Palmdale, CA. The Representative for that district is Buck McKeon, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee. Buck McKeon's top 5 campaign contributors: Lockheed Martin General Dynamics Northrup Grumman General Atomics Boeing [caption id="" align="alignright" width="327"] MQ-9 Reaper Predator Drone[/caption] --- General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper predator drones would be given $155 million more than requested so the Air Force can order twelve more. Then Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force said in 2006 about the predator drones: "We've moved from using UAVs primarily in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance roles before Operation Iraqi Freedom, to a true hunter-killer role with the Reaper." Missile Defense Systems Raytheon's Patriot missile defense system would be given $300 million more than requested to increase the program. --- Aegis ballistic missile defense system would be over-funded by $189 million to buy 17 additional Raytheon SM-3 interceptors, which are ship-based missile interceptors designed to shoot down short & intermediate range ballistic missiles and have been used to shoot down satellites. Israel [caption id="" align="alignright" width="360"] Emanuel Yellin[/caption] Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system would be given $211 million. Budget request: $0. Iron Dome manufactured by a Israel-owned defense technology company, but U.S. is trying to get a co-production deal like they have on their other missile defense system which is co-produced by Boeing Upper tier/Arrow programs are the "other" missile defense programs partnered with Boeing. David's sling is a third missile defense system for Israel that partners with Raytheon. The Upper Tier/Arrow and David's Sling missile programs together were given $169 million more than requested. Total in unrequested money given to Israel for missile defense: $380 million. Miscellaneous Appropriations Advanced hypersonic weapon program which "aims to develop a system to deliver a precision conventional weapon strike anywhere in the world within one hour" overfunded by $90 million. --- Defense Rapid Innovation Fund, which is supposed to funnel Department of Defense contracts to small businesses was given $250 million. Budget Request: $0. --- $5+ billion for the Afghanistan security forces (all of it requested). --- "Miscellaneous equipment" would be given to every branch of the military. Total = $1.5 billion. None of these funds were requested. Creepy Spy Sh*t Camp Williams in Utah - location of the Utah Data Center was given $191,414,000 (all of it requested). Total Classified Programs: $31,309,229,000 = $900 million more than was requested. Good News Over-funded medical research by $635 million. Things that will be studied include: substance abuse alzheimers autism breast cancer gulf war illness lung cancer MS ovarian cancer prostate cancer traumatic brain injuries vision AIDS prevention Net totals appropriated to Defense: $622 billion was spent in 2012 $597 billion requested for 2013 $598 billion given in this bill … More than requested
