The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been predominantly in the news for many months. Most recently as both President Trump and the Secretary of Homeland Security have made remarks that FEMA should be abolished. More recently a 20-person council has been established to examine how best the federal response and recovery efforts to disasters should be accomplished. This then is the topic for this podcast.Craig Fugate the podcast guest served as President Barack Obama's FEMA Administrator from May 2009 to January 2017. Previously, he served as Florida Governor Jeb Bush's Emergency Management Director from 2001-2007 and Governor Charlie Crist from 2007-09.Fugate led FEMA through multiple record-breaking disaster years and oversaw the Federal Government's response to major events such as the Joplin and Moore Tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Matthew, and the 2016 Louisiana flooding.FEMA's effectiveness in dealing with more than 500 Presidentially declared major disasters and emergencies under Fugate's leadership restored the faith of the American people in the Federal Government's ability to respond to disasters.Prior to his tenure at FEMA, Fugate was widely praised for his management, under Governor Jeb Bush, of the devastating effects of the 2004 and 2005 Florida hurricane seasons (Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma).

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Josie Heyano as the two discuss the importance of bridging communities to prevent human trafficking. Josie Heyano Josie Heyano, LMSW, is a Deg Xinag Athabascan advocate from Alaska, focused on creating holistic and decolonized practices to serve Alaska Native and Indigenous communities impacted by human trafficking. With extensive experience supporting youth facing homelessness, exploitation, and trafficking, she founded Signify Consulting, LLC, to further her collaboration in anti-trafficking work across Alaska. Josie is a Presidentially appointed member of the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking, advising federal policy, and in 2023, she received the FBI Director's Community Leadership Award for her contributions to prevention and intervention in Alaska. Her work honors her great aunt Linda Miller and others still awaiting justice. Key Points Traditional introductions are important as they reflect relationships and community ties, highlighting accountability and cultural identity. Serving on the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking, Josie highlights the importance of humility and listening to voices within her community that are often unheard. She cites a recent visit by the council to Alaska as an opportunity to humanize the data and issues surrounding human trafficking. Human trafficking is a symptom of broader systemic issues, such as domestic violence, homelessness, and mental health crises. There is a need for a holistic approach that addresses these interconnected challenges within Indigenous communities. The Alaska Human Trafficking Data Needs Assessment revealed gaps in data and understanding regarding trafficking. Community relationships and collaboration across different sectors (service providers, law enforcement, academia) are necessary to improve data collection and response strategies. Cultural practices and community care can serve as protective factors against human trafficking. It is necessary to integrate traditional values and practices into prevention efforts, focusing on unconditional care, relationship building, and addressing basic community needs. A preventative approach that extends beyond immediate trafficking interventions includes ensuring that community members have access to essential resources, support systems, and a sense of belonging from birth, thus preventing vulnerability to trafficking in the first place. Active, compassionate engagement with community members fosters safety and well-being.

NCLA Challenges IG Committee's Structure and Illegal Interference with Inspector General Operations For three years, Joseph V. Cuffari, a Presidentially-appointed and Senate-confirmed Inspector General (IG) has been endlessly harassed and had his office's resources drained by a series of baseless inquiries headed by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency's (CIGIE) Integrity Committee (IC). IGs are designed by law to be independent, and the agencies they oversee are not permitted to interfere with their investigations. But the IC and its persecutory approach are unlawfully interfering with Plaintiffs' legal responsibilities. NCLA has filed a Complaint in Fredricks, et al. v. Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, et al. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia challenging CIGIE/IC's investigations, which have had a chilling effect on the Plaintiffs' work and actions.

In this episode of the Planned Solutions Incorporated Podcast, With interest rates are significantly higher than they were last year, this is a good time for savers to review their cash management strategies to ensure that they are maximizing the interest rates they are earning on their savings. This may involve shifting money to account types that pay higher yields, comparing the rates that are offered by different institutions, and ensuring that accounts are earning the highest amount offered by the institution. Also, Investment tax losses may allow taxpayers to claim a tax deduction on their income taxes. However, the impact of these losses is often somewhat muted. Tax losses are first used to offset taxable gains. Then up to $3,000 of any remaining net loss may be used to offset the taxation of other income. Finally, any excess unused losses are carried forward to the following tax year. And, When an individual passes away their non-retirement assets often receive a step up in tax basis. This means their beneficiaries inherit the property as of the date of death with no built-in tax gain or loss. However, to take full advantage of this provision in the tax code, it is important to be able to substantiate the value of the property at the date of death. In the case of real estate assets, this often requires an appraisal by a professional, or else the value may be open to debate. Plus a look at the Planned Solutions Incorporated Office Bulletin Board- The IRS finally provided guidance that State inflation relief payments, including the California Middle-Class Tax Refund payments, are not subject to federal taxation. Recently we posted that taxpayers who live or work in the many California counties that were included in the Presidentially declared disaster area will have until May 15th to file their income taxes and pay any amount due. This deadline has since been extended to October 16th by the IRS and the State of California is expected to conform to the change. Of course, this does not mean that taxpayers must wait to file and, in many cases, will be better off filing earlier rather than waiting until the extended deadline.

Andrea Macdonald, founder of ideaXme interviews Craig Fugate, former Administrator at FEMA, USA, (2009-2017), reporting to President Barack Obama. Craig, now Chief Emergency Officer, One Concern, provides his perspective on the recent crisis in Texas - the power grid outage, the current Mexican border refugee challenge (9,500 unaccompanied children at the border in February 2021) and his perspective on working together across nations to build international planetary-wide resilience. Towards the end of the interview he even provides some tips on how we can as individuals all get through these tough and pressured times to build resilience. Craig Fugate's Official Biography: Mr Fugate served as President Barack Obama’s FEMA Administrator from May 2009 to January 2017. Previously, he served as Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s Emergency Management Director from 2001-2009. Fugate led FEMA through multiple record-breaking disaster years and oversaw the Federal Government’s response to major events such as the Joplin and Moore Tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Matthew, and the 2016 Louisiana flooding. Prior to his tenure at FEMA, Fugate was widely praised for his management, under Governor Jeb Bush, of the devastating effects of the 2004 and 2005 Florida hurricane seasons (Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma). During his tenure, Fugate focused not only on restoring FEMA’s response capabilities but on promoting emergency management as a community and shared responsibility. Fugate instituted a permanent effort to build the nation’s capacity to stabilize a catastrophic event within 72 hours. He drove completion of Presidential policy on national preparedness and implemented the National Preparedness System to build unity of effort to address the nation's most significant risks. On Fugate’s watch, FEMA awarded more than $19 billion in preparedness grants, supported more than 700 drills and exercises in 47 states, and had more than 40 million participants take part in grassroots community preparedness drills. During Fugate’s tenure, rates of adoption for disaster resilient building codes nationwide increased from 40% in 2009 to 63% in 2016. Fugate also provided Federal Government-wide leadership on reducing disaster risk through efforts to develop for President Obama’s approval executive orders that reduce the Nation’s flood, earthquake, and wildfire risk through managed Federal investment in hazard-prone areas. FEMA’s use of technology to support operations and enable decision-making flourished under Fugate’s leadership. Prior to his service in the Obama Administration, Fugate served as Florida’s Emergency Management Director. As the State Coordinating Officer for 11 Presidentially-declared disasters, he managed more than $4 billion in Federal disaster assistance. In 2004, Fugate managed the largest Federal disaster response in Florida history as four major hurricanes - Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne - impacted the state in quick succession. In 2005, Florida was again impacted by major disasters when three more hurricanes - Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma - made landfall in the state. The impact from Katrina was felt more strongly in the Gulf coast states to the west but Florida launched the largest mutual aid response in its history in support of those states. Under Fugate’s stewardship, Florida’s emergency management program became the first statewide program in the Nation to receive full accreditation from the Emergency Management Accreditation Program. In 2016, he was the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) Lacy E. Suiter Award honoree for lifetime achievements and contributions in the field of emergency management. In 2017, Fugate formed Craig Fugate Consulting LL. and joined One Concern as Chief Emergency Management Officer.

Today we dive into all things related to Brock Long's impressive career as a change agent and leader in emergency management. We talk about the complexities of a FEMA response in coordinated response, the need for disaster declaration reform, moving forward with a career in mind, and how to better prepare for disaster through mitigation. Brock speaks extensively about the mitgation process and changes that need to happen at FEMA and State governments to clear the way for communities to become Disaster Tough. "Brock Long is the former Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Confirmed in June 2017 by the US Senate with strong bipartisan support (95-4), Brock served as the Nation’s principal advisor to the President responsible for coordinating the entire array of federal government resources down through 50 states, 573 tribal governments, and 16 island territories to assist them with executing disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. Brock is the 10th Administrator and the youngest to hold the office. While serving as Administrator, Brock coordinated the federal government’s response to over 144 Presidentially declared disasters and 112 wildfires, including three of the Nation’s most devastating hurricanes and five of the worst wildfires ever experienced. During this time, nearly $44 billion of disaster activity occurred under the various federal recovery programs. "As the FEMA Administrator, Brock led two major initiatives which will have long-lasting impacts on the emergency management community. He rapidly transformed the agency’s business enterprise by implementing innovative Community Lifeline and FEMA Integration Team concepts to strengthen public-private partnerships and permanently embed full-time staff within the offices of state and tribal governments to better meet constituent needs. Further, as the result of effective advocacy and eight influential Congressional testimonies, Congress passed the Disaster Recovery Reform Act and made pre-disaster mitigation a national priority, provided meaningful changes to the FEMA workforce, and bolstered state and local emergency management capability. "From 2008-2011, Brock served as Director of Alabama’s Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) under Governor Bob Riley. As Director, he served as the State Coordinating Officer for 14 disasters, including eight presidentially-declared events. Brock also served as an on-scene State Incident Commander for the Alabama Unified Command during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. "He is a graduate of the prestigious Executive Leadership Program offered by the US Naval Postgraduate School/Center for Homeland Defense and Security. He attended Appalachian State University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Public Administration." - Hagerty Consulting website; Brock Long Bio

President Joe Biden’s administration came into office last month in the middle of a raging pandemic that has claimed the lives of over 400,000 Americans. The challenge that awaits Biden will not be easy, as his administration tries to distribute and administer vaccine doses to hundreds of millions of Americans who live in a nation divided deeply by its politics. Dr. Ron Sanders was a federal civil servant for almost 40 years, serving in senior positions with the Defense Department, the IRS, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Intelligence Community. He also served as a vice president with Booz Allen Hamilton, and until his resignation in October, as the Presidentially-appointed Chair of the Federal Salary Council. He is currently Staff Director for the Florida Center for Cybersecurity. He joined the show to discuss his GovExec post, "To Beat the Pandemic, Biden Needs to Take the Politics Out of It" and the COVID-19 response.

We chat with one of my favorite Legislator defenders of the Constitution, Rep. Phil Lyman, recently pardoned by Pres. Trump. We discuss his "crime," the DOJ flip and how he got the pardon (shout outs to Sen. Mike Lee, Rep. Dan McCay, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Rep. Mike Noel, and others). Hear the progress on efforts to restrain run-amok executive branch emergency powers and what legislation we need to be watching- for good or bad.  

On this episode, I meet with Dr. Dawn Koltes at Iowa State University.  We are visiting the turkey's Corn and Cob in their beautiful turkey palace! Before coming to reside at Iowa State, Corn and Cob received a Presidential pardon.  This saved them from the Thanksgiving dinner table and made it possible for them to be with us today.    In addition to admiring these handsome fellows, I also take some time to talk turkey.  Dr. Koltes gets me up to speed on the turkey industry, Iowa and beyond!   Links and sponsors from today's episode:   Merck Animal Health Allflex Livestock Intelligence Zuprevo - for BRD treatment Valley Vet 800-419-9524

Today's episode is another Weekly Suit Gundam  extravaganza, this time on the controversial Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, but before that, we also discuss this week's abhorrent Presidentially-ordered insurrection at the US capital, and – in a lighter topic – Jonathan becoming infatuated with Genshin Impact, Sean's 2020 Game of the Year. Then it's on to Gundam SEED Destiny, a show that tries to be two different, contradictory shows at once: a challenging sequel questioning the assumptions and characters from the original, a la Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and a straight-up sequel to SEED – Gundam SEED: Here We Go Again – and in the shuffle, somehow makes us hate the entire returning cast even while it buries and repeatedly does dirty its interesting new characters. The result is one of the most inept sequel stories ever told – but undeniably one of the most compelling to talk about. TIME CHART: Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:02:14The Whole Coup Thing: 0:02:14 – 0:22:08Genshin Impact: 0:22:08 – 0:43:12Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: 0:43:12 – 4:10:48 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!

Not only is bourbon the spirit of America, it has been the choice of presidents. President Harry S. Truman was so fond of bourbon that it became a staple in the White House during his two terms of office. In this episode we examine how bourbon became presidential!

"What happens to US society when public trust in our institutions, such as the just department or the intelligence community, is eroded by malevolent foreign players?" On this episode, Suzanne Spaulding takes listeners on a guided tour of some of the most dire national security threats, with a special emphasis on this fundamental question. National and cyber security expert Suzanne Spaulding has held a number of highly distinguished positions throughout her career including General Counsel for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Legal Adviser to the Director of Central Intelligence’s Nonproliferation Center, and the Presidentially-appointed, Senate-confirmed Under Secretary for the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) at the Department of Homeland Security. She is currently a member of The Homeland Security Experts Group and Senior Advisor in the International Security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

As Vanita Gupta, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, explains, the politicization of Census 2020 has made it the most complex enumeration of our American experience. Presidentially imposed barriers to participation in the census by all people in the United States, as constitutionally mandated, has generated high levels of engagement by faith, corporate, public sector, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders in using their clout and resources to ensure a robust count. They are collaborating on organizing and communication strategies, including the development and testing of messages that resonate with the vulnerable communities they represent. These messages are key to overcoming the fear of participation. While message development is vital, it takes, as Vanita observes, trusted messengers to effectively deliver them. At this stage, trusted messengers are rolling out campaigns at the neighborhood level. Whether they are church leaders, librarians, social service providers or community organizers, family members or friends, these are the influencers that we all need to value and support. Vanita hopes that the media will follow these trusted messengers, tell their stories, and deepen our collective understanding of why the census is so important to all of us.  

Kent Alexander was the Presidentially-appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia during the 1996 Centennial Olympics. After the bombing on July 27, 1996, he spent hundreds of hours working closely with the FBI to find the terrorist. Initially, the media identified Richard Jewell as the culprit. Ultimately, Kent personally wrote and hand-delivered Jewell's clearance letter. He kept a journal the entire time.Six years ago, he teamed with former Wall Street Journal editor Kevin Salwen to explore the Olympic bombing story and the three bombings that followed. After five years of research, they penned The Suspect as a character-driven historical nonfiction book focusing on three main characters: Jewell, the colorful blonde bombshell reporter who broke the story, and the crusty FBI agent with a dark past who made the case that wasn't. Midway through they weave in an additional character: the real bomber. In 2019, Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to The Suspect for Clint Eastwood's movie “Richard Jewell movie,” and brought both authors on as consultants. Following its national release, the movie will be out this month on Blu Ray and DVID.Kent has enjoyed an unusually diverse legal career, beyond his four years as U.S. Attorney. He has served as a partner at King & Spalding law firm; Sr. V.P. and General Counsel of Emory University; General Counsel of CARE (the global anti-poverty organization); Assistant U.S. Attorney; and chief of staff of a U.S. Senate campaign. A graduate of Tufts University and the University of Virginia School of Law, he lives in Atlanta with his wife, Dr. Diane Alexander. They have two grown daughters.

In the early 90s, the Administrator of NASA, became one of the most controversial Presidentially appointed positions in the U.S. government. And, the International Space station was NASA's most controversial program. Out of the blue Dan Goldin, a government rookie, was asked to consider the role of Administrator of NASA after President George H.W. Bush just fired Dick Truly, the previous Administrator, in a shocking and high profile way. This STORYTIME is about this government rookie's journey going from a Washington outsider to becoming the only Administrator to successfully gain Congress' support for the Space Station and finally deploy it into space by convincing President Clinton that the U.S. should partner with our former Cold War enemies - the Russians.

Craig Fugate served as President Barack Obama’s FEMA Administrator from May 2009 to January 2017.  Previously, he served as Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s Emergency Management Director from 2001-2009.  Fugate led FEMA through multiple record-breaking disaster years and oversaw the Federal Government’s response to major events such as the Joplin and Moore Tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Matthew, and the 2016 Louisiana flooding.  Fugate set a clear and compelling vision, mission, and priorities for FEMA and relentlessly drove the Agency to achieve better outcomes for survivors.  FEMA’s effectiveness in dealing with more than 500 Presidentially-declared major disasters and emergencies under Fugate’s leadership restored the faith of the American people in the Federal Government’s ability to respond to disasters.  Prior to his tenure at FEMA, Fugate was widely praised for his management, under Governor Jeb Bush, of the devastating effects of the 2004 and 2005 Florida hurricane seasons (Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma).

Joyce welcomes Rebecca Cokely, executive director of the National Council on Disability (NCD). The Council promotes policies, programs, practices and procedures that further the objectives of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) to ensure that Americans with disabilities have the same level of access to civic, social and economic participation as their non-disabled friends, family members and peers. NCD has 15 Presidentially-appointed Council members who live across the nation, and 11 professional staff based in Washington, DC. Ms. Cokely, will discuss the progress that has been made with both the organization, and furthering the objective of the ADA as we approach the 25th Anniversary of the legislation, which was signed into law on July 26, 1990.
