Nigeria, Venezuela Intervention, and China Power Struggles. Gregory Copley discusses Trump's order for military action in Nigeria, noting the violence is complex and not strictly genocide against Christians, contrasting it with US refusal to provide past aid. Discussion shifts to the overwhelming US military buildup near Venezuela, which might force Maduro's departure by damaging his credibility, possibly via anti-narcotics action. The interview concludes by analyzing the anticlimactic Trump-Xi meeting, attributing the lack of confrontation to Xi Jinping's significantly weakened position due to China's shattered economy and internal power struggles. 1949 NIGERIA

If you're having bedtime, out-the-door, or morning battles where your partner swoops in mid-meltdown, sending you into a rage, you're not alone.In this episode, Flora McCormick, LCPC — parenting coach and host of the Sustainable Parenting Podcast — shares 3 simple Positive Discipline tools that help you end power struggles without yelling, shaming, or giving in.You'll learn: ✨ How to use one powerful c-word  to get your children to listen more quickly.  ✨ How to reset the whole family system that has been right in these tug-o-wars.   ✨ How to invite cooperation instead of barking orders that fuel defianceThese tools work whether you're guiding toddlers or tweens — and they help you and your partner stay on the same team, even in the toughest parenting moments.Because calm, confident parenting isn't about perfection.

Are your toddler's meltdowns leaving you “touched out” and wondering how to stay calm? What if the fastest way to end tantrums is more connection—not more limits?In this video, we break down attachment parenting for toddlers—the practical, science-aligned way to reduce tantrums, boost cooperation, and rebuild calm (in you and your child). You'll learn why kids imitate your emotions but can't yet regulate them, how to be the adult in the room, and the exact strategies we used to go 16+ years without tantrums in our home.We'll show you how to increase your capacity (food, sleep, recovery) so you're not running on empty, plus simple co-regulation tools like cuddle-pauses, couch resets, and family calm breaks. Attachment isn't coddling—it's how kids become secure and independent. When their emotional bucket is full, clinginess drops and behavior improves. Parenting isn't convenient—but it can be effective.Key Takeaways✅ Attachment first makes every other parenting strategy work better✅ Capacity over boundaries: build yourself up so you can show up✅ Food & sleep are fuel for patience, presence, and self-control✅ Fill the bucket daily: secure kids act better and rebel less✅ Pause > push through: a 2-minute cuddle beats a 20-minute battleMemorable Quotes

Are you using “attachment parenting” — or accidentally doing permissive parenting?In this eye-opening conversation, Greg & Rachel Denning break down what true attachment parenting is (and isn't). They share the skills, mindsets, and tools that helped them eliminate tantrums for 16 years and prevent teen rebellion—without yelling, shaming, or rigid control.You'll learn why parenting is a specific, learnable skill, how to build secure attachment from baby to teen, and where popular advice (cry-it-out, forced “holding time,” over-scheduling, letting kids lead everything) quietly damages trust. You'll also get a clear blueprint for connection with boundaries so kids feel safe, seen, and guided—and you feel calm, confident, and effective.Bottom line: Attachment is earned, not forced. Respect your child's free will, meet real needs (sleep, food, attention), co-regulate big emotions, and set firm, sensible boundaries. That's the evergreen approach that works in every generation.Key Takeaways✅ Parenting is a skill—unrelated to how good you are at business, sports, or leadership.✅ Attachment ≠ permissive. It's connection + boundaries and kind + firm.✅ Attachment is earned, not forced. No cry-it-out or “holding until defeat.”✅ Respect free will while providing age-appropriate structure and safety.✅ Co-regulation first (your calm is contagious), then teach self-regulation.✅ Meet basics (sleep, nutrition, attention) before behavior battles.✅ Measure success by long-term trust and adult outcomes—not short-term compliance.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Attachment Parenting00:43 Clarifying Misunderstandings in Parenting02:04 The Importance of Parenting Skills03:09 Defining Success in Parenting04:39 Understanding Attachment Parenting05:23 The Dangers of Misapplied Parenting Techniques06:56 The Impact of Adoption on Attachment08:25 The Consequences of Control in Parenting11:28 The Role of Freedom in Child Development13:48 The Misconception of Holding Time16:10 The Impact of Sleep Training on Children17:59 Respecting Free Will in Parenting20:39 The Concept of Holding Time24:22 Understanding Boundaries and Safety28:24 Preparing Children for Adulthood31:24 The Lifelong Mentor-Mentee Relationship33:01 Building a Legacy of Good ParentingMemorable Quotes

Do you ever feel like you're doing “all the right things” but not seeing real results?In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning challenge the sacred cows of school, pharma, and religion—not to burn it all down, but to help you keep what serves your family and release what doesn't. You'll learn how to shift from transactional box-checking to transformational growth, so your kids develop inner authority, critical thinking, and personal responsibility.Big idea: You can honor helpful traditions and raise kids who can question wisely, choose higher standards, and own their outcomes—in education, health, spirituality, and life.What we cover:• Why outsourcing your child's education, spirituality, or health stalls growth• How to “keep the good” in institutions while ditching deadweight rules• The path from conformity to character—raising autodidacts who learn for life• Practical habits that create palpable progress in mind, body, spirit, and family cultureKey Takeaways✅ Transactional → Transformational: Results > routines.✅ Inner Authority: Teach kids to think, not just comply.✅ Keep & Elevate: Honor useful rules; raise the standard at home.✅ Autodidact Mindset: Light the fire, don't fill the bucket.✅ Measure Progress: If outcomes don't improve, change the method.Chapters00:00 Challenging Sacred Cows02:32 The Importance of Questioning Traditions04:58 Individual Authority and Personal Growth07:22 Outsourcing Education and Spirituality10:29 Transformational vs. Transactional Experiences13:05 The Role of Institutions in Personal Development15:25 The Quest for Holistic Progress18:27 Facing Fears and Embracing Truth21:28 The Labyrinth of Personal Growth28:40 Facing Fears and Doubts29:32 The Nature of True Education30:51 The Challenge of Conformity32:22 Resisting Authority Thoughtfully33:41 The Importance of Imagination35:03 Faith at the Edge of the Abyss36:18 Questioning Conventional Wisdom38:01 Learning from Others' Experiences40:41 Walking the Labyrinth of Faith41:48 Understanding Meta Truths44:10 The Concept of the Fringe46:44 Navigating the Lower and Upper Fringe49:03 Living Beyond Conformity50:31 Transformational Living Beyond the BasicsMemorable Quotes

In this episode, I answer a listener question from Lisa about how play therapy helps when parents aren't in the room — and how to handle power struggles and aggression at home in a child-centered way. I explain why it's actually beneficial for children to be alone with the therapist, how they naturally bring their struggles into the playroom, and why parents' presence can sometimes prevent the real work from happening. I also share practical guidance for managing intense emotions and aggression at home — including when to set limits, how to handle big outbursts, and what to do when your child's behavior escalates. These principles help parents respond calmly, model regulation, and give their children the space to develop self-control and emotional balance.

General Zhang Youxia Allegedly Leads PLA Purges Amid Internal CCP Power Struggle General Blaine Holt with John Batchelor General Blaine Holt reported that the purge of nine flag officers was allegedly executed by General Zhang Youxia, not Xi Jinping. Zhang, a top general, began the purges out of fear of becoming a target himself, indicating an internal "civil war" within the CCP factions opposing Xi. Zhang has secured elite military units loyal to him and the People's Liberation Army (PLA), rather than solely the Party, stabilizing the military amidst the turmoil. Zhang's life is at risk if Xi prevails. 1850

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   A major power struggle is unfolding inside China's military. Xi Jinping has just ousted his second-in-command and several top generals in what analysts call his most sweeping purge yet. We'll break down what's behind the shake-up.   Vladimir Putin personally oversees a massive nuclear exercise, launching ballistic and cruise missiles capable of striking the United States.   Plus—America's secret war at sea continues. U.S. forces hit another suspected drug vessel—this time in the Pacific—marking the eighth strike since September.   And in today's Back of the Brief—Venezuela's Maduro launches a new app for citizens to spy on each other—bringing Big Brother to the barrios.   To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.   Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of The President's Daily Brief.   YouTube: youtube.com/@presidentsdailybriefStopBox: Get firearm security redesigned and save 15% off @StopBoxUSA with code BAKER at https://www.stopboxusa.com/BAKER #stopboxpodBirch Gold: Text PDB to 989898 and get your free info kit on gold Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you a driven mom who wants to be present—but you're drowning in overwhelm and “control mode”?This conversation shows you how to get crystal-clear on your family vision, build secure attachment/connection, and set firm, kind boundaries so kids become self-directed—without you turning into the “mean, controlling parent.”In this candid episode, Greg and Rachel break down the yin–yang of parenting—high standards + healthy surrender—so you can lead your family without micromanaging. You'll learn time-chunking, strategic disengagement, and simple charts & systems (starting with the morning routine) that create calm, predictable days. We also unpack why quality and quantity time (especially in key developmental years) is the foundation of trust, attachment, and influence.If you've ever thought, “I've tried everything,” this is your roadmap to clarity, consistency, and connection—without burnout.Key Takeaways✅ Vision first: You can't hit a target you don't have—define your family vision and align daily “micro-visions.”✅ Attachment over control: Connection creates cooperation; control breeds rebellion or resentment.✅ Quality and quantity time: Presence (especially ages 0–6, and up to 25) builds trust and influence.✅ Boundaries you honor: Time-chunking + strategic disengagement protect work and family time.✅ Systems over stress: Start with a morning routine chart; train, then let kids choose how within clear boundaries.✅ Lead without micromanaging: Be playful + firm on non-negotiables; give freedom on details.✅ The obstacle is the way: Overwhelm signals where to build skills and systems next.Memorable Quotes

Do you want your kids to love learning—and become independent, capable adults who can handle life?Most parents want extraordinary results but stick to ordinary systems. In this video, Greg & Rachel explain why comfortable, convenient methods don't produce extraordinary results and why true education is lighting a fire, not filling a bucket. You'll see how to expand beyond the home with worldschooling and real-world experiences, use modern tools for a world-class education, and reclaim both influence and joy in your family culture.Key Takeaways✅ Method determines outcome—change methods to change results.✅ Worldschooling turns lessons into experiences kids never forget.✅ Raise independent thinkers through self-directed learning.✅ Time with your kids = influence (quantity and quality).✅ Use AI/online platforms to access the best teachers on earth.✅ Save “academic rigor” for the right season—after love of learning ignites.Chapters00:00 Welcome to Extraordinary Family Life01:06 The Importance of Intentional Living02:32 Extraordinary Education Through World Schooling05:02 The Limitations of Public Schooling06:41 The Need for Self-Directed Learning08:04 Experiential Learning and Travel09:42 The Impact of Environment on Learning11:30 Navigating Social Experiences for Kids11:52 Conclusion and Final Thoughts15:41 The Transformative Power of Modern Education19:47 Leveraging Online Resources for Homeschooling22:12 Balancing Personal Time and Homeschooling25:16 Quality Time vs. Quantity Time in Education26:44 Redefining Social Skills Beyond School27:25 Overcoming Personal Limitations as a Parent28:06 Embracing the Journey of Homeschooling30:13 The Importance of Following Interests in LearningMemorable Quotes

Does “launching” your teen mean kicking them out at 18?If your child only becomes capable when you separate, something's broken. In this video, Greg & Rachel Denning expose why “move out at 18” is a modern psyop that weakens families and robs teens of real independence. You'll learn how to build capability before 18—so your young adult is confident, competent, and contributing while still benefiting from mentorship, connection, and family legacy.Key Takeaways✅ Failure to launch is a parenting-skill problem, not an age problem.✅ By mid-teens, kids should be capable, confident, and contributing at home.✅ Comfort & convenience sabotage growth—skills and systems build it.✅ Teach life skills early: cooking, cleaning, finances, self-management.✅ Mentor through 16–25: support big decisions, deepen character, build skills.✅ Generational families win: keep wisdom, wealth, and warmth under one roof.✅ If independence only follows separation, change the method—not the goal.Chapters00:00 Epic Adventures and Homecomings03:02 Rethinking the 18-Year-Old Move-Out Myth06:06 The Impact of Cultural Norms on Independence08:43 Parenting Skills and the Failure to Launch11:54 The Role of Education in Young Adulthood14:41 Cultural Perspectives on Family Dynamics17:44 The Dangers of Social Media Influence20:31 Reframing Independence and Parenting Strategies27:42 Empowering Children with Life Skills34:52 The Importance of Parenting Techniques44:43 Building a Family Legacy and Financial StabilityMemorable Quotes

As we navigate the complex world of court trials involving Donald Trump, the landscape is both fascinating and contentious. Over the past few days, several key legal challenges have emerged, setting the stage for a pivotal term in the Supreme Court.One of the most significant cases is *Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc.*, which has been consolidated with another case for briefing and oral argument. This case, filed by Donald Trump, President of the United States, et al., against V.O.S. Selections, Inc., et al., was docketed on September 4, 2025. The petition for a writ of certiorari was granted, and the case is set for argument in the first week of November 2025[1]. This case is part of a broader series of legal challenges involving Trump, highlighting his efforts to expand executive power and the numerous lawsuits resisting these actions.Another case that has garnered attention is *Trump v. Slaughter*, which will be argued in December 2025. This case involves the firing of a Federal Trade Commissioner and raises critical questions about presidential removal power. Specifically, it challenges the precedent set by *Humphrey's Executor v. United States*, which restricted the president's ability to remove agency heads without good cause. Trump has argued that this decision was incorrect, advocating for a "unitary executive" theory that grants the president broader authority over the executive branch[2].In addition to these high-profile cases, Trump is also facing challenges in *Trump v. Cook*, which concerns the removal of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on this matter, focusing on whether the president has the power to fire governors of the Federal Reserve, who are appointed for 14-year terms and can only be removed for cause[2]. This case is particularly significant because it involves an institution that is often seen as operating independently of direct presidential control.These cases reflect a broader trend of legal challenges to Trump's executive actions, with many involving national security and constitutional issues. The Trump administration is currently embroiled in nearly 300 active cases, with a significant portion of these reaching the Supreme Court on its emergency docket[3]. The court's decisions on these matters will have profound implications for the future of presidential power and the checks and balances within the U.S. system.As we watch these trials unfold, it becomes clear that this term of the Supreme Court will be critical in shaping American democracy. The balance between executive authority and judicial oversight is being tested, and the outcomes will have lasting impacts on the rule of law and institutional norms.Thank you for tuning in today.

Water: who controls it, who protects it and who decides its fate?

Today I'm sharing powerful insights that transformed how I navigated my teens' adolescent years—and they're thriving now in college because of it.

Are you torn between protecting your kids' mental health and preparing them for real-world stress?Most parents feel this tension—and many swing too far toward pressure or protection. In this video, Greg & Rachel share a better path: don't inflict pressure—be the anchor while your kids face it. You'll learn how to build grit through trust, identity, and modeling, so challenge actually strengthens your bond instead of breaking it.What we cover:Identity over willpower: why saying “I'm not a smoker” beats “I'm trying to quit.”Anchor, don't apply pressure: your job is safety + modeling, not manufactured hardship.Results don't lie: how your life becomes the proof your kids can't ignore.Trust first, then stretch: push to the “next rock,” then keep your promise and carry them.Adjust your strategy: when you “get punched in the face,” learn, adapt, iterate.Do hard things yourself: kids spot hypocrisy—lead from the front.Make discomfort enjoyable: turn tough conversations, workouts, and cold plunges into shared wins.Big Idea: Grit grows in connection. When kids know you'll both challenge and carry them, they lean in, try again, and adopt a new identity that sustains lifelong habits.Key Takeaways✅ Be the anchor, not the pressure. Safety + example > force.✅ Model hard things. If you don't, they won't.✅ Identity drives habits. Become the family who does the hard, good things.✅ Keep promises. Stretch to the “next rock,” then carry—that's how trust is built.✅ Iterate, don't implode. When it's not working, change your approach, not your ideals.Chapters00:00 New Beginnings and Reflections03:18 Goal Setting and Identity Transformation03:31 Preparing Kids for Life's Challenges05:02 The Balance of Comfort and Growth05:30 Building Resilience Through Experience08:44 Adapting to Life's Punches09:59 The Journey of Parenting and Education12:19 Embracing Failure in Business and Parenting13:59 The Importance of Adaptability and Learning17:21 Influence Through Results and Personal Example19:32 Living an Extraordinary Life as a Family22:34 Teaching Resilience Through Real-Life Challenges24:58 Iterative Learning and Effective Communication28:39 The Power of Persistence in ParentingMemorable Quotes

If you're homeschooling a strong-willed child, you know how draining the daily battles can feel. One mom writes in:"This is my second year homeschooling. I have three girls ages 7, 4, and 2. My oldest is very strong willed, opinionated, loves to debate or negotiate anything I say that involves doing school or other responsibilities she doesn't like, and takes up a lot of the energetic space of our home. It is like pulling teeth to get her to do anything she doesn't want to do. I do my best not to yell and use positive requests as well as state and keep boundaries. But they don't seem to work… I'm feeling so nervous for our school year because our connection feels lacking and I just feel helpless with how to get that connection back so we can have a successful school year.”In this episode, I share how shifting from power struggles to partnership can transform your homeschool. We'll talk about why parents often unknowingly step into the tug-of-war, how to refocus on the positive, what it looks like to ignore unhelpful behaviors without giving up authority, and how to intentionally teach good habits that make your days smoother.If you've ever wondered how to really connect with your strong-willed child while still leading your homeschool with confidence, this episode will give you practical encouragement and fresh hope.You'll learn:How to step out of the tug-of-war and build true partnership with your strong-willed childSimple ways to shift attention toward the positive and let go of constant correctionPractical strategies for teaching habits that create smoother homeschool days

Are you afraid to give something up—even if you know it's holding your family back?What if the “sacrifice” you're resisting is the exact bridge to the life you actually want?In this powerful conversation, Greg and Rachel answer a listener's question inspired by James Allen: “He who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” They share the real sacrifices they made to build an extraordinary family life—from walking away from comfort and conformity to investing tens of thousands into personal growth, ditching entertainment for education, and choosing experiences and character over stuff. You'll learn how to overcome the fear of loss, handle others' opinions, and trade short-term ease for long-term joy, health, and purpose.Big idea: It's hard to call it a “sacrifice” when what you get back is better than what you gave up. Bottom line: The most important investment you'll ever make is in yourself—and then in your spouse and kids.Key Takeaways:✅ Comfort is costly—trade it for purpose, health, and momentum.✅ Invest in yourself first, then your spouse and kids.✅ Entertainment steals growth; education multiplies it.✅ Ditch “peacock pageantry”—results beat credentials.✅ Own your outcomes—no blame, no excuses.✅ Failure ≠ final—it's fertilizer for your future.Chapters00:00 Daily Sacrifices for a Better Life23:14 Intentional Living and Personal Responsibility28:39 The Rewards of Sacrifice31:27 EFL YouTube Outro Full Updated.mp4Memorable Quotes

In this episode, I talk about Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1972 film, "The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant." The film tells the story of Petra, a successful fashion designer in a complicated and obsessive relationship with a younger woman named Karin. Set almost entirely in Petra's apartment, the film unravels the entanglements of power, desire, and emotional dependency.This episode is one of my most personal. I reflect on the ways the film mirrors an experience I had with unrequited love—an experience that consumed me for over two years. I talk about the madness and chaos of desire, the pain of not being chosen, and the way obsession can distort how we see ourselves and others.Note: This episode was recorded before my mother's death. That is why I talk about her in the present tense.You can follow me on Instagram, Letterboxd, and Tumblr.

Are your kids' fights setting off your emotions—and the whole house?Most parents try to “fix” kids' behavior to feel better. In this video, Greg & Rachel flip the script: change your emotional state first, and your family dynamics follow. You'll learn how to stop masking (“trying to stay calm”) and start being emotionally authentic—so you model regulation your kids can actually imitate.We unpack practical tools to raise your family's emotional thermostat—even on low-sleep, low-food days: breathing exercises, light movement, gratitude micro-meditations, future journaling, and morning routines that shift your biochemistry fast. You'll discover why sleep and nutrition are foundational, how to process triggers and “memorized emotions,” and how to radiate steadiness kids naturally copy.Big idea: Nothing gets better until you do. When you upgrade your inner state, parenting gets easier, marriage gets warmer, and home feels safe again. This is how you cultivate a family culture of peace, courage, and joy—without pretending or suppressing.Try this today (1-minute reset): Stand tall, inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6 (x6 rounds). Add one gratitude sentence and smile on purpose. Notice the shift—then go connect.Key Takeaways✅ Nothing gets better until you do — when you raise your state, your family follows.✅ Kids imitate without regulation — they copy your energy, good or bad.✅ Trying to “stay calm” is masking — practice authentic emotional expression.✅ Sleep & food drive mood — protect your physiology to parent better.✅ Quick resets work — breathing, movement, posture, and gratitude change your state fast.✅ Every family has an emotional thermostat — set yours higher on purpose.✅ Mentor, don't micromanage — see misbehavior as a cry for help and coach skills.Memorable Quote:

Do you feel good in your own home?Does your family culture feel like a safe, joyful refuge—or more like constant conflict and stress?Most parents spend 90% of their time fixing problems instead of preventing them. But what if the secret to a thriving home is in the things you never do?In this video, Greg and Rachel Denning—parents of 7 and family coaches—reveal the small but powerful “never-do's” that transformed their parenting and family culture. From eliminating sarcasm and insults, to saying no to video games, TV, and constant notifications, these intentional choices create a home environment where kids feel secure, confident, and deeply attached.They share why attachment—not punishment—prevents misbehavior, how harshness backfires, and why saying “no” to outside noise means saying “yes” to family connection.Raising kids is already hard enough. But by eliminating just a few destructive habits, you can dramatically reduce sibling rivalry, power struggles, and emotional distance in your home.
