Operation Epic Fury, the decisive U.S.-led military campaign authorized by President Trump, has achieved striking early success by crippling Iran's nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile stockpiles, air defenses, and key Revolutionary Guard command centers shortly after launch. Executed in close partnership with Israel — whose parallel Operation Roaring Lion delivered precision strikes, including the confirmed elimination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — the joint effort combined overwhelming American airpower, stealth bombers, and advanced drones with Israel's deep intelligence and targeted capabilities to rapidly overwhelm Iranian defenses. Supporters hail the operation's progress as a historic demonstration of peace through strength, delivering devastating blows to the regime's terror apparatus and nuclear ambitions ahead of schedule while minimizing prolonged escalation.

An all-star cast today with: Emmy Probasco, a fellow at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) and former Navy officer with deep expertise in autonomous weapons and military AI adoption; Michael Horowitz, a University of Pennsylvania professor who previously ran the Pentagon office that rewrote U.S. policy on autonomy in weapons systems; Bryan Clark, a defense analyst at the Hudson Institute and retired Navy officer specializing in naval warfare and military technology; and Henry Farrell, a political scientist and writer focused on the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and economic coercion. [00:00] America's First Precise Mass Campaign Against Iran The U.S. debuts the Lucas drone — a sub-$100K system reverse-engineered from Iran's own Shahed 136 — alongside legacy Tomahawk strikes in a campaign of unprecedented scale and velocity. [10:00] Regime Change Without a Plan The panel debates the theory of victory when you decapitate leadership but have nobody to pick up the pieces, with implications for nuclear proliferation, Gulf stability, and the Strait of Hormuz. [18:00] Weapons Stockpiles, Air Defense, and What China Is Learning Burning through expensive interceptors against cheap drones risks drawing down Pacific stockpiles, while China gets a front-row seat to how American air defenses operate at scale. [25:00] Claude Enters the Chat: AI in Military Operations Claude's integration into CENTCOM's Maven Smart System prompts a discussion on what military AI actually does — mostly boring bureaucratic tasks — and why the Terminator narrative misses the point. [46:00] The Anthropic–Pentagon Fight Mike argues the dispute is about personality and politics, not policy — Anthropic never refused a government request, and the real clash is over who gets to decide future use cases. [56:00] Treating a U.S. Company Like Huawei Threatening Anthropic with supply chain risk designations — tools built for foreign adversaries — could chill the entire tech sector's willingness to work with the Pentagon and poison allied trust in American tech.

In 2012, Navy Seal Sniper Chris Kyle released his best selling book titled, “American Sniper.” After serving 10 years in the Navy, Chris began a new mission to help veterans in need.  On February 2, 2013, Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were doing just that, helping a veteran in need, when they were gunned down by the very veteran they were trying to help. The Marine veteran was Eddie Ray Routh. The double murder made headlines. Routh was charged with murder and plead Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity.  Dig in with Margot, as she walks you through this heartbreaking story, and breaks down the evidence that eventually brought justice to the victims and their families.  ⸻

In this CA, Jesse covers two major Virginia murder cases: first, the sentencing of the Banfield au pair, who received the maximum 10 years for her role in the staged home invasion that killed Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan, and then a disturbing new case out of Norfolk, where Lina Maria Guerra was found dead in her apartment freezer after her Navy reservist husband allegedly fled to Hong Kong and fabricated a story about her imprisonment, triggering an international manhunt with potential extradition and national security complications.Current Affairs is Love Murder's shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Christine_Banfield_and_Joseph_Ryanhttps://abc7chicago.com/post/lina-guerra-case-us-navy-husband-david-varela-flew-hong-kong-missing-wife-was-found-kitchen-freezer-norfolk-virginia/18616404/https://www.fox5dc.com/news/navy-reservist-accused-murdering-wife-believed-have-fled-hong-konghttps://www.wtkr.com/investigations/international-manhunt-underway-for-norfolk-man-accused-of-killing-wife-hiding-body-in-freezerhttps://gtvnewshd.com/world/2026/02/18/virginia-woman-lina-guerra-found-dead-in-freezer-husband-david-varela-flees-to-hong-kong/Find LOVE MURDER online:Website: lovemurder.loveInstagram: @lovemurderpodTwitter: @lovemurderpodFacebook: LoveMrdrPodTikTok: @LoveMurderPodPatreon: /LoveMurderPodCredits: Love Murder is hosted by Jessie Pray and Andie Cassette, researched by Sarah Lynn Robinson and researched and written by Jessie Pray, produced by Nathaniel Whittemore and edited by Kyle Barbour-HoffmanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alexandria, Virginia February 28, 1844  A pleasure cruise on the Potomac River turned into the deadliest single-day loss of senior government officials in American history when the world's largest naval cannon exploded on the deck of the USS Princeton. Secretary of State Abel Upshur, Secretary of the Navy Thomas Gilmer, and four others were killed instantly in front of four hundred horrified guests. President John Tyler survived only because someone handed him a glass of champagne at the foot of the ladder. Among the dead was David Gardiner, whose twenty-three-year-old daughter Julia fainted at the news and was carried off the ship in the President's arms. Four months later, she married him. The blast derailed the annexation of Texas, reshaped Tyler's cabinet, and launched a romance born from carnage aboard the Navy's most celebrated warship. The gun was called the Peacemaker. Nobody renamed it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

American George H. Kerr was the most important Western eyewitness and chronicler of the February 28 Incident of 1947, the violent uprising and brutal crackdown that shaped Taiwan's modern politics and identity. Kerr first lived in Taiwan in the late 1930s, when the island was a colony of Japan. During the war, he worked for the U.S. Navy as a Taiwan expert, and then from 1945 to 1947 served as the U.S. vice consul in Taipei. His account of Chinese Nationalist (KMT) misrule, Formosa Betrayed (1965), is arguably the most influential English-language book ever written about Taiwan. John chats with Kerr scholar Jonathan Benda about the book and the man behind it. Why did it take Kerr so long to publish his account? What does the “betrayed” in the title refer to? How did the book inspire Taiwanese democracy and independence activists? Drawing on new evidence, Benda explains it all and gives us a full picture of this complex man.

Send a textPeaches and Trent riff on an uncomfortable truth the Air Force rarely markets well: per capita, it's the most lethal force in modern warfare. From GWAT kill ratios and budget realities to why “Chair Force” jokes might actually be strategic misdirection, this episode spirals into a candid breakdown of how the services really operate. They dig into logistics versus lethality, why the Army wins wars by sustaining them, how the Navy quietly controls the underwater domain, and why the Space Force affects everyone whether they realize it or not. The conversation also tackles SOCOM funding myths, why selection and pipelines aren't interchangeable, the reality of special mission units, and how expensive it is to create—and keep—elite capability.

The statistics are stark: there's a 68% chance any American will need long-term care at some point, and for couples, that number jumps to nearly 90%. Yet most families never have the conversation until a health event forces their hand.In this episode, Hans sits down with Travis McBride — fellow Navy helicopter pilot turned insurance strategist — to break down everything you need to know about long-term care planning.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment 02:35 – Travis's background04:50 – What the brokerage does and who they serve 13:40 – Long-term care 101: statistics and why it matters 16:45 – The three ways to fund long-term care 17:20 – Traditional LTCI: how it works and the use-it-or-lose-it problem 18:50 – How carriers mispriced policies in the 90s and 2000s 24:10 – The premium increase trap: stuck and uninsurable 25:20 – Are the premiums guaranteed? 35:05 – Life insurance with an LTC rider38:50 – The six activities of daily living explained 43:05 – Hybrid/asset-based policies: repositioning vs. spending 45:15 – How leverage works inside a hybrid policy 52:30 – Reimbursement vs. cash indemnity55:45 – Who should be thinking about this and when 1:01:25 – What Medicare actually covers and what it doesn't 1:07:15 – The Washington State payroll tax 1:16:25 – How to connect with Travis Key Takeaways:Ask one question before signing anything: are the premiums guaranteed? Traditional long-term care policies were mispriced in the 90s and early 2000s, and carriers have been sending premium increase notices ever since. Know how your benefits are paid before you need them. Reimbursement policies require receipts and ongoing claims filings every month. Cash indemnity policies cut you a check once you qualify and let you use it however you want.Self-insuring isn't insurance — it's just liquidation. Having enough assets to cover a long-term care event sounds like a plan until you run the math. A nursing facility in Southern California runs $6,000 to $15,000 a month, and that's today's cost. Hybrid policies reposition assets — they don't just spend them. Unlike traditional LTCI where premiums vanish if you never file a claim, hybrid linked-benefit policies give you liquidity, control, and a residual death benefit. The best time to have this conversation is before someone needs to. The sweet spot for getting coverage is 45 to 60, when you're still healthy enough to qualify and premiums haven't become prohibitive. By 65, you're entering the game late.

Feliks Banel's guests on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY are Rita Welch, director of the Tillamook Air Museum in Tillamook, Oregon and museum curator Christian Gurling. The Tillamook Air Museum is located in a World War II blimp hangar, the roof of which was badly damaged in a windstorm in December 2025. The museum - which is located on the Oregon Coast roughly 90 minutes by car from Portland, Oregon - remains closed. The hangar, which was built by the U.S. Navy in 1942, belongs to the Port of Tillamook Bay. As Rita Welch and Christian Gurling explain in this conversation recorded on Friday, February 27, 2026, addressing the damage and the future of the hangar is a complex and very expensive proposition - and much fundraising will be required.

In this members episode, Tony sits down with Pastor Dave Bryan for a jaw-dropping conversation that moves from the Giants of Kandahar to the hidden search for Noah's Ark, and finally to the modern-day red heifer prophecy. Dave Bryan shares firsthand testimony from a Navy intelligence source who claimed U.S. special forces engaged multiple armored giants in Afghanistan, along with the chilling aftermath and alleged CIA suppression. The conversation then shifts to a private viewing of video footage said to show the interior of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat, complete with ancient beams and preserved feeding troughs. Finally, Dave recounts his meeting with Robert Mawire and the astonishing story of how seven perfect red heifers were providentially supplied for the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem. From underground giants to Temple prophecy, this episode explores the possibility that biblical events are not ancient history, but unfolding in real time.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

July 24th, 1969. After their historic mission to the Moon's surface and back, there was one final step in the Apollo 11 mission: splashdown. As the command module floated (gracefully, we are sure) in the Pacific Ocean, a team of elite Navy divers known as Frogmen swam up to help the astronauts safely and securely onto a helicopter that would take them to the USS Hornet. Today on AirSpace, we hear from three of the Frogmen who plucked the Apollo astronauts out of the drink (and may have engaged in some horseplay on the floating capsule). We also hear from our Museum's own Apollo Curator about the details of this critical final stage in the Apollo missions, and what to expect when capsules full of Artemis astronauts start splashing down this decade. Thanks to our guests in this episode: Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony, Apollo Curator- National Air and Space Museum John Wolfram, former Navy Frogman Clancy Hatleberg, former Navy Frogman Wes Chesser, former Navy Frogman  Find the transcript for this episode and more information at s.si.edu/airspaces11e7.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter.AirSpace is made possible with the generous support of Lockheed Martin.

Brandon and Jesse talk concentrates, edible tolerance, and what happens when you take 250mg of Apple Fritter before watching a movie that definitely is not that funny… until it is. They break down how different consumption methods actually feel in real time, from “behind the eyes” pressure to full-body giggles.But then the conversation shifts.They get into cannabis history, why Napoleon reportedly banned his army from smoking in Egypt, and how weed doesn't exactly inspire battlefield aggression. From there, it turns into a bigger conversation about the scientific method, celebrity scientists, and why real innovation usually comes from the quiet builders nobody talks about.The back half of the episode moves into something deeper. Handwritten letters. Navy memories. Physical mail. Human connection. The idea of Cannabis School pen pals. Why writing something down might be one of the most honest ways to say what you actually feel.It is classic Sesh energy. Funny, unfiltered, reflective, and unexpectedly thoughtful.In this episode we talk about:• Dabbing vs flower and how concentrates hit differently• Taking 250mg of edibles and what that experience actually feels like• Purple Platinum Jager and Apple Fritter effects• Cannabis in world history and Napoleon's Egypt campaign• Why weed does not exactly make you want to fight• The scientific method and celebrity culture• Handwritten letters and deeper human connection• The idea of Cannabis School pen palsThis episode is less about being right and more about being real. Just two friends, some concentrates, and a conversation that moves from giggles to meaning without forcing it.If you've ever had one of those nights where cannabis opens up something deeper than you expected, this one will feel familiar.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:

A lot of young people feel like they are already late. Late to choose the right major, late to land the right job, late to make real money, late to figure life out. In this episode, I share the long arc of my own path, from joining the Navy at 19 to working IT support at 25, going back to college at 29, graduating at 32 with a newborn at home, serving in public health and emergency management through my late 30s, becoming an EMS Captain at 41, and eventually leading an enterprise IT PMO. Along the way, I also built strength in my 40s, earned my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt, and continued to grow in faith and discipline. This conversation is a reminder that your twenties are not a deadline; they are a runway. You are not behind, you are building.

The story of the Spanish American War continues. In this episode we focus on the actions of the US Army and Navy in the aftermath of General Shafter's first moves. After capturing El Caney and San Juan Hill, the Spanish squadron that was in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba left their anchorage to face the Americans. In a lopsided fight, the American victory effectively marked the end of the Cuban campaign. Despite Shafter's own reservations concerning the siege of Santiago, facing insurmountable issues of their own, the Spanish garrison capitulated rather than fight to the death. Take a listen!

On an April evening in 2017, a small single-engine plane disappeared into the mountains of Washington State.Somewhere near 5,000 feet on the snow-covered face of Mount Jupiter in Olympic National Park, metal met rock.A distress call cracked across the emergency frequency — faint, urgent, alive.High above the Pacific Northwest, a Delta flight en route from Seattle to Shanghai heard it. The pilots relayed the call. A Navy search-and-rescue crew lifted off from Whidbey Island in an MH-60 helicopter.By 6 p.m., rescuerson that ]steep, frozen, unforgiving.Two men were pulled from the wreckage. One of them was Mike Mequio. Mike was in serious condition. There was substantial damage to the plane. But that was just the beginning of this story. Sometimes the mountains that almost take your life become the very place that can give it back. Mike is a survivor. A man who faced a mountainside once in chaos and fear but chose to return to the mountains on purpose. Not in a cockpit.Not in an emergency.But step by step.Finding his Everest. This story is about survival, healing and rediscovering who you are when you choose to KEEP CLIMBING.

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of David, a Navy veteran and lifelong outdoorsman whose encounters span from the high elevations of Colorado to a secluded property in the foothills of the Catskills in upstate New York. During a late-summer backpacking trip near the Maroon Bells and Snowmass Lake, David describes coming face to face with towering glowing eyes in the darkness, followed by a night filled with deliberate wood knocks, strange vocalizations, and massive footprints pressed deep into mountain soil.Years later, after purchasing a remote cabin surrounded by dense forest and protected land, the activity begins again. What starts as distant knocking and whoops gradually moves closer to the house, bringing unexplained odors, enormous tracks in deep snow with an impossible stride, violent pounding on a nearby structure, and a daylight sighting that leaves no room for doubt. As the months unfold, the experiences build in intensity, culminating in a moment that still echoes in David's memory.David shares his story with clarity and composure, offering detailed observations shaped by a lifetime spent outdoors. His account paints a compelling picture of activity across two very different regions of the country, raising questions about movement, territory, and long-term presence. Join us as we explore David's gripping journey and the unsettling patterns that followed him from the Rockies to the mountains of New York.

What does real leadership look like when the building is on fire…literally? In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend and guest host Michael Savage and a man whose life defines servant leadership at the highest level, Vice Admiral James W. Crawford III. Jim was inside the Pentagon on 9/11 when it was struck. He later helped advise on some of the most consequential military decisions of our generation. And today, he serves as President of Texas Southern University, shaping the next generation of leaders. This conversation is not about flashy leadership. It's not about titles, money, or Instagram fame. It's about character. It's about humility. It's about what you draw on when all eyes turn to you and the pressure is on. Jim said something that stopped me in my tracks. In times of stress, you either become who you are or you revert to your training. That day in the Pentagon changed the trajectory of his life. And yet, when he talks about it, you hear gratitude, not ego. Service, not self. We went deep into what leadership really demands. Humility as a shield against ego. Authenticity in unguarded moments. Mission first. People always. Jim opened up about imposter syndrome, about looking in the mirror at three stars on his uniform and still being astounded it was him. He shared how working on his grandfather's tobacco farm shaped his values, and why he chose education over seven figure corporate roles after retiring from the Navy. His answer was simple and powerful. Service does not end when the uniform comes off. If you are an entrepreneur, a founder, a CEO, a parent, or someone who simply wants to lead your life better, this is a masterclass. We talked about raising agile thinkers in an AI driven world. About how fear can freeze you if you let it. About why the best leaders are not the smartest person in the room, but the one who knows where their reservoir of strength comes from when the storm hits. Jim's reservoir is his faith. Yours might be something else. But you better know what it is. This episode reminded me why I started this show in the first place. Real leadership is about people and for people. And when you get that right, everything changes. Key Takeaways: Why humility is the leader's greatest shield against ego and arrogance What it means to be authentic in unguarded moments Mission first. People always. How to integrate both without burning out How to lead through crisis by reverting to your training and values Why constant learning and agility are essential in an AI driven world The importance of identifying your personal reservoir of strength before the storm comes How service can and should continue long after titles and uniforms are gone Share this with someone who wants to lead better, serve deeper, and live with greater purpose.

When public life feels loud and divided, what does quiet faithfulness look like? In the US House of Representatives, every legislative day begins with prayer. This responsibility rests with the chaplain of the house and shapes the daily spiritual rhythms of the institution. "Chaplains aren't combatants. We carry no weapon." On January 3, 2021, Rev. Dr. Margaret Grun Kibben was elected by the House to be its sixty-first chaplain. She offers daily prayer and steady pastoral presence and care in one of the most visible and contested institutions in American life. In this conversation with Mark Labberton, she reflects on vocation, pastoral identity, pluralism, crisis leadership, prayer in public life, and the quiet discipline of blessing those entrusted with leadership. She reflects on her early call to ministry as a teen, her formation as a military chaplain to the Navy, a defining season in Afghanistan, and her unexpected path to serving in the House. Together they discuss confidential care, advising leaders, the ministry of presence, praying across differences, the history of prayer in Congress, and how to bless leaders without turning prayer into a tool of ideology. Episode Highlights "I had a sense of call to ministry when I was about fourteen." "Chaplains are where it matters, when it matters, with what matters." "What is your theology of ministry?" "It is the ninety-nine who were leaving the room that needed the shepherd." "God is on his throne. He hasn't stepped down." About Margaret Grun Kibben Rev. Dr. Margaret Grun Kibben serves as the sixty-first chaplain of the United States House of Representatives. Ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA), she previously completed a thirty-five-year career in the US Navy, including service as the twenty-sixth chief of Navy chaplains and director of religious ministry for the Department of the Navy. In that role, she advised senior naval leadership and oversaw chaplains serving sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen around the world. She holds degrees from Goucher College and Princeton Theological Seminary and earned a doctor of ministry focused on theology and leadership. Her ministry has included deployments overseas and senior-level advisement in complex, pluralistic environments.

In this classic replay from 2022, she pulls back the curtain on the "black box" of payers and national accounts, explaining what medical directors and CMOs actually do inside insurers, employer health benefits teams, ACOs, and value-based care organizations. She walks through day-to-day work in utilization management, quality, pharmacy, innovation, and employer-facing roles, as well as the credentials and experience you need to be considered for these positions. Dr. Clapper also looks ahead to emerging opportunities in telehealth, data and EHR optimization, startups, women's health, and executive coaching.

Today's Headlines: On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Donald Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The dissenters: Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. Trump responded by blasting Justices Gorsuch and Barrett as “disloyal” and insisting he can “destroy trade” but not “charge a little fee.” He then proposed a global 10% tariff workaround — later bumped to 15%. Meanwhile, Americans are still effectively paying 9.1% in tariffs, and the Court didn't address what happens to the $133 billion already collected. Over the weekend, Trump announced he's sending a “great hospital boat” to Greenland, despite Denmark saying it wasn't informed and doesn't need it. The Navy ships in question are reportedly in Alabama. Sure. On the Russia beat, a Trump ally signed a natural gas deal with Russian energy giant Novatek despite U.S. sanctions tied to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine — the first known new U.S.–Russia venture of its kind. Separately, ICE and other agencies contracted with phone-forensics firm Oxygen Forensics, which has ties to sanctioned former FSB figures. At the same time, DHS has issued hundreds of subpoenas to tech companies seeking identifying information on users critical of ICE. Trump is also pressuring Netflix to remove Susan Rice from its board amid maneuvering around a media acquisition deal that could affect CNN. Casual. In Florida, Secret Service agents shot and killed a 21-year-old man who allegedly breached the perimeter of Mar-a-Lagowith what appeared to be a shotgun and fuel can; the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, Florida lawmakers approved renaming Palm Beach International Airport after Trump — a $5.5 million rebrand. And finally, taxpayers will now provide new Secret Service agents with two tailored suits upon graduation. Inflation hits us all differently.
