OA1228 - On this week's Rapid Response Friday: we take on all of your legal questions about this whole Greenland thing--including how a 1916 diplomatic treaty with Denmark also enabled some of Jeffrey Epstein's worst crimes. Also discussed: what it took to finally force Lindsay Halligan to stop telling everyone that she was the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and how a Minnesota judge designed her unique order to protect Minneapolis protesters and observers from ICE's lawless violence. Finally, in today's footnote: is it enough that McDonald's can promise that their most elusive sandwich is “100% pork”? We dig into a recent lawsuit over the McRib to see if there is any meat on the bone.

What starts with a car crash somehow turns into a public land spike buck, 30 fish through the ice, and a trip that absolutely refused to make sense. We break down the wreck, the decision-making that followed, the bow kill on public, and an ice bite that went completely off the rails. Bad roads, cold temps, questionable choices, and somehow one hell of a story. This episode proves that sometimes the worst start leads to the best ending. . . .

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into a rare bipartisan vote to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress, House Democrats openly pledging to pursue impeachment of President Donald Trump if they retake the majority, and former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel calling for mandatory retirement of federal officials at age 75.First, they consider Emanuel's call for mandatory government retirements at age 75. Jim and Greg have chronicled the obvious declines of Joe Biden and Dianne Feinstein and see why this proposed constitutional amendment is being floated, but should it also be mandatory for perfectly sharp people like 77-year-old Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas? They also discuss rumors Emanuel may run for president in 2028.Next, they applaud the House Oversight Committee for holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. Surprisingly, nine Democrats joined Republicans in holding Bill Clinton in contempt, while three did so for Hillary. These are far-left Democrats, so why did they break ranks? Jim and Greg have some ideas.Finally, while their midterm campaigns will likely focus on affordability, multiple Democrats in Congress are already admitting that if they win back the House majority this year, impeaching President Donald Trump will be at the very top of their agenda.Please visit our great sponsors:Protect your family with Ethos Life Insurance — get your quote in minutes at https://Ethos.com/3MLUpgrade your wardrobe with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20. Stay consistent with your skincare and save 15% with OneSkin — use code 3ML at https://Oneskin.co/3ML and let them know we sent you!New episodes every weekday. 

Gavin Newsom goes to Davos and trolls President Trump before the world, then gets disinvited from a speaking engagement and blames Trump for politicizing the World Economic Forum. Stephen A Smith tells the California governor - that's a BAD LOOK. Speaking of bad looks... Chris Cuomo goes attack mode on Scott Jennings for telling a punk on a CNN panel that he'll use the term "illegal alien," because that's what they are. 

It seems that every day we are seeing more examples of the drawn battle lines in our society and in our world. The spirit of chaos inspired from the pit of hell is real and very present. We are told that these battles belong to the Lord and that we were made for times such as these. Dr. Dan Schneider joins us to discuss this spirit of chaos, the spirit of the antichrist and how this applies to the battles we see unfolding daily. ------------------------------- Find out more about the Rosary Coalition HERE: https://rosarycoalition.com/usgf ------------------------------- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZ9OefEJLEx1qYcBxgAFww/join -------------------------------- PATREON - Help support this podcast by becoming a US Grace Force PATRON here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25398590 -------------------------------- Check out ROMAN CATHOLIC GEAR and get amazing Catholic gear for the battle of your life!

I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls. 5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's very curious defense of restricting the Second Amendment, decoy operations to lure anti-ICE protesters away from actual raids, and Tucker Carlson claiming it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons.First, they scratch their heads as Justice Jackson cites laws preventing black people from exercising their Second Amendment rights in the Jim Crow south as a precedent for siding with Hawaii's new, strict gun control laws. Thankfully, Justice Sam Alito was there to provide some much needed sanity.Next, they get a kick out of Blue Lives Matter claiming it ran decoy operations in nine states to draw anti-ICE demonstrators away from real enforcement actions, freeing agents to do their jobs. They also highlight 3 Martini Lunch guest Michele Tafoya announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota.Finally, they just shake their heads as Tucker Carlson contends that it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons because it could help stabilize the region, much like North Korean nukes have supposedly done in that part of the world, and that it would keep the U.S. and Israel from meddling so much in the Middle East. Jim has plenty to say about Tucker's spiraling deeper into utter nonsense.Please visit our great sponsors:Protect your family with Ethos Life Insurance — get your quote in minutes at https://Ethos.com/3MLUpgrade your wardrobe with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20. Stay consistent with your skincare and save 15% with OneSkin — use code 3ML at https://Oneskin.co/3ML and let them know we sent you!New episodes every weekday. 

In Day 4 of Anxiety Alchemy Week, the arc is Protect—releasing anxiety by creating a calm inner boundary and returning to your center. In this episode, you'll learn and practice Prithvi Mudra (Earth Mudra), a simple hand position used as a somatic anchor for steadiness and emotional protection. You'll explore how anxiety can intensify when you're overstimulated, overcommitted, or emotionally overexposed—and how a protective inner container helps your nervous system settle. If you've been feeling flooded, reactive, or like you're absorbing everyone and everything, this meditation will help you protect your peace and feel grounded in yourself again. Featured technique: Prithvi Mudra (ring finger + thumb) Best time to practice: before conversations, before phone time, during overwhelm, at day's end Intention: protect your peace, reduce overstimulation, and release anxious urgency This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Anxiety Reset Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment." Day 3:  Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds. (If 6–8 feels too long, do 4 in / 5 out.) Day 4:  Prithi Mudra for clarity Day 5:  Third Chakra for compassion Day 6:  Anxiety Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – If democracies want to resist this assault, they must do three things. (1) Track and disrupt hidden financial flows. (2) Protect independent platforms from covert manipulation. (3) Recognize the danger when familiarity replaces scrutiny. The enemy of liberty does not always wear a uniform. Sometimes it speaks with the voice of someone we once trusted...

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they dissect EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin's answer to a reporter struggling with simple economics, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison arguing that a federal law against disrupting religious freedom at a place of worship does not apply to what happened on Sunday, and President Trump's very odd tactics in trying to acquire Greenland.First, they applaud Zeldin for keeping a straight face and giving a very clear explanation when a reporter asked how making American vehicles more affordable would be good for American auto workers. It's also a good reminder that far fewer people than we realize are taught the fundamentals of how an economy works.Next, they groan as Attorney General Ellison says the FACE Act only applies to restricting demonstrations outside abortion facilities and not disrupting worship services. But the law in question specifically outlaws what happened on Sunday. So is Ellison clueless or just not interested in prosecuting the criminal acts of his political allies?Finally, they react to President Trump demanding control of Greenland and telling Norway's prime minister that missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize pushed him toward a more aggressive approach in dealing with Denmark. But is this strategy accomplishing anything, or is it just antagonizing other members of NATO?Please visit our great sponsors:Protect your family with Ethos Life Insurance — get your quote in minutes at https://Ethos.com/3MLUpgrade your wardrobe with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20. Protect your future with Noble Gold Investments — visit https://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3ML to download your free Gold & Silver Guide and learn how to build lasting financial security. Stay consistent with your skincare and save 15% with OneSkin — use code 3ML at https://Oneskin.co/3ML and let them know we sent you!New episodes every weekday.

Most people expect a divorce or breakup to be painful. What they don't expect is for it to feel strategic, relentless, and never-ending. If you're separating from someone with narcissistic traits, you're likely treating it as a transition, but they're treating it like a war. Today you'll learn why divorcing or breaking up with a narcissistic partner follows a completely different set of psychological rules, the mindset shifts that help you stop taking the bait, and what you need to do differently, especially if you have kids and want to protect them long-term.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/divorcing-or-breaking-up-with-a-narcissist Are You Divorcing or Breaking Up with Someone Who Has Narcissistic Traits?

Her family says they weren't shocked when police arrested Dr. Michael McKee. They'd suspected him from the moment Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer were found murdered in their Columbus home. They just couldn't say anything — they were protecting the investigation. But here's the part that should keep everyone up at night: Monique's family knew. They'd known for years that McKee was a threat. And the system still couldn't act until she was dead. There were no restraining orders on file. No 911 calls from the Tepe address. Police labeled this a "targeted domestic violence attack," but by the time they could do anything about it, two people were gone and two children were orphaned. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine the psychology of an eight-year grudge that allegedly ended in murder. Monique did everything you're supposed to do when you leave a dangerous situation. She got out after seven months. She didn't fight over assets. She moved back to Ohio, rebuilt her life, remarried, had children. She never said McKee's name after the divorce — only called him "her ex-husband." Her family says she talked about emotional abuse. About torment. That she was always worried about him. Coffindaffer explains the behavioral profile of a grievance collector who never lets go, how McKee's demand for the rings back and the interest penalty clause in the separation agreement reveal control dynamics, and why watching Monique build a new family may have been the trigger that escalated obsession into alleged violence. For anyone who recognizes these patterns in their own life, Coffindaffer shares the warning signs that someone may never move on — even years after a relationship ends.#MoniqueTepe #MichaelMcKee #TepeMurders #HiddenKillers #DomesticViolence #JenniferCoffindaffer #GrievanceCollector #TrueCrimePodcast #ColumbusOhio #SystemFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is your money really going where you want it to when you're gone, or are taxes, outdated documents, and lack of planning quietly deciding for you? In this episode, I sit down with CPA and estate planning expert Shamisa Zvoma to unpack the truths most people miss about trusts, gifting, tax strategy, and why estate planning isn't just for the ultra-wealthy. We talk about control, protection, legacy, and the narrow window many families are overlooking right now that could cost them millions down the road. You'll hear us discuss: Why trusts aren't just for wealthy families and how they give you control long after you're gone The biggest misconceptions people have about estate planning and taxes How trusts can protect assets from creditors, divorce, and poor timing Why giving money outright isn't always the smartest move How lifetime gifting can dramatically reduce future estate taxes The annual gifting limits and how couples can maximize them How paying tuition or medical bills can reduce your estate without triggering gift taxes Why estate plans should be reviewed every 3–5 years (and after major life changes) Real-life examples of what goes wrong when plans aren't updated How state estate taxes can create major surprises even when federal taxes don't apply Resources Shamisa Zvoma on LinkedIn | Phone: 212-605-3182 | Email Stacy Francis on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) | Email FrancisFinancial.com Reach out to receive a complimentary consultation!

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Don Lemon and radical anti-ICE activists disrupting Christian church services, Iran's regime refusing to pause the slaughter of demonstrators, and the stunning questions the Harris campaign reportedly asked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.First, they unload on the lunatics from the Racial Justice Network who barged into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, claiming one of the pastors also works for ICE. Jim and Greg chronicle the chaos, explain why the stunt was a blatant violation of the church's constitutional rights, and examine how far Don Lemon has fallen in attaching himself to this kind of spectacle.Next, they report on the head of Iran's judiciary declaring that demonstrators opposing the regime are “terrorists” who will be sentenced and punished swiftly. Terrorism is punishable by death in Iran. There are also multiple reports of rising death tolls. Will evidence that the killings have not stopped have an impact on President Trump?Finally, they react to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro claiming that the Harris campaign asked him whether he was an Israeli agent or had been in contact with one. This is just the latest revelation demonstrating that one of the weakest presidential candidates in recent memory was even worse than we thought.Please visit our great sponsors:Protect your family with Ethos Life Insurance — get your quote in minutes at https://Ethos.com/3MLProtect your future with Noble Gold Investments — visit https://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3ML to download your free Gold & Silver Guide and learn how to build lasting financial security. Stay consistent with your skincare and save 15% with OneSkin — use code 3ML at https://Oneskin.co/3ML and let them know we sent you!New episodes every weekday.

Imagine realizing the person you trusted was intentionally deceiving you the entire time. This episode pulls back the curtain on how con artists operate and the psychological devastation left in their wake. You'll learn how deception works, why even smart, capable people fall victim, and the lasting emotions from stress and anger to deep regret. Most importantly, you'll learn how to increase your awareness, find the right professional support, and begin to move on safely. It's a heavy but important conversation that may help you recognize danger before it's too late. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by Johnathan Walton, an Emmy-winning former TV reporter and current reality TV producer, who became a leading voice on the psychology of the con artist after surviving a deeply destabilizing betrayal himself. He's also the host, writer, and executive producer of the hit podcast Queen of the Con, and the author of Anatomy of a Con Artist. Together, we talk about how con artists manipulate emotions (not intelligence), why “I'm just trying to help” can be an early warning sign, and what happens to your brain and body when the relationship you thought was real turns out to be built on lies. We also get practical: the red flags that show up across scams, romance cons, and long-game manipulation, plus steps you can take to protect yourself—and what to do if you realize you've already been pulled in. A gentle note: This conversation includes explicit language and frank discussion of trauma responses, including intrusive revenge fantasies. Please take care of yourself while listening, and skip this one if you're not in the right headspace today. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 The Moment You Realize Someone Isn't Who They Say They Are 01:05 Con Artists, Betrayal Trauma, and Why This Conversation Matters 02:05 Trigger Warning and How To Listen Safely 07:04 Johnathan's Story: The “Irish Heiress” Con Artist Case 11:20 How a Con Artist Hooks You Through Emotional Manipulation 30:33 The Red Flags of a Con Artist and How Patterns Form 41:27 The Trauma Aftermath: Shame, Rage, and Losing Trust in Yourself 46:38 Protecting Yourself After a Con Artist Betrayal 52:35 Dr. Lisa's Guidance on Betrayal Trauma Support If you're listening and realizing this episode connects to your own life, whether through a relationship, a financial loss, or the unsettling sense that something once trusted wasn't real, I want you to have support, not just information. As a gift, I'd like to invite you to schedule a free consultation with my team at Growing Self. You'll answer three quick questions, and we'll help you book a private, secure consultation with the right counselor or coach for what you're navigating right now. This is a thoughtful, low-pressure way to get clarity, feel supported, and take a steady next step forward. You don't have to navigate this alone. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self

In today's episode, I'm coming in hot and pulling back the curtain on one of the most important leadership topics there is: hiring and building the right team. This conversation is happening in real time as I'm in the middle of hiring and building out a world-class team for my new IMPACT- X Performance facility here in San Diego (opening in Feb/March 2026)—and everything I'm sharing today comes straight from nearly three decades of wins, lessons, and a few hard- earned mistakes. This episode isn't just for gym owners or business leaders—it's for anyone who wants to be part of a winning culture. We're talking about energy, standards, habits, coachability, and alignment with the mission. Because culture doesn't magically appear. It's built intentionally, person by person, decision by decision. If you're hiring, leading, or looking to elevate yourself or your team to the next level, this episode will challenge you to raise the bar—and protect it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The 5 GREEN FLAGS I look for when hiring (in any industry): 1. Energy before experience—because energy is contagious. 2. Coachability over credentials. 3. Alignment with the mission and values. 4. Personal discipline and daily habits. 5. A team-first, no-ego mindset. Likewise, I will discuss the 5 "RED FLAGS" that stop a hire cold: 1. Ego over IMPACT. 2. Entitlement before accountability. 3. Negativity, blame, and victim language. 4. Resistance to standards and systems. 5. Misalignment with values and purpose. Additionally, I will discuss: Why culture is built on Day One, not later. The real cost of ignoring red flags when hiring. Why people don't just join gyms or businesses—they join people. A powerful gut-check question every leader and team member must ask. At the end of the day, great workouts, great products, and great ideas aren't enough. People matter most. The energy at the front desk, the standards behind the scenes, and the heart of the team all determine whether you build something average—or something that truly changes lives and is world-class. And if you are like me, you want to be associated with 'WORLD- CLASS.' So here's the challenge: if you're a leader, where have you ignored red flags? And if you're a coach, trainer, or professional, take a hard look in the mirror—would you hire you? Are you consistently bringing energy? Are you coachable? Are you living the discipline you expect from others? Build the team right. Protect the culture. Lead with standards and heart. That's how you create something that lasts—and that's how you go create impact. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. If it fired you up to create more IMPACT—please do me a favor and do 1 (or all 3) of the following things: 1.

Today's show focuses on the price tag principle and the necessity of burning the boats to achieve ultimate success. Eric utilizes historical examples, such as Hernán Cortés, to illustrate how removing the option of retreat forces individuals to commit fully to their objectives. By eliminating safety nets like backup plans or "parachutes," one can cultivate the discipline and diligence required to overcome discomfort and stagnation. The discussion emphasizes that public accountability and financial investment are critical tools for maintaining focus and preventing negotiation with one's own effort. Participants in the call further reinforce these themes by making public declarations regarding personal health and fitness goals. Ultimately, Triplett advocates for a no-turning-back mindset to unlock untapped capabilities and transform one's life. Key Takeaways: Remove all "parachutes" and backup plans to ensure that success is your only viable option. Commit to the process of discipline, depth, and diligence by continuing to work even when tasks are boring or uncomfortable. Share your specific goals and deadlines publicly with peers or an accountability partner to increase your likelihood of finishing what you start. Establish clear and measurable metrics for every objective to provide physical proof of your progress and commitment. Protect your reputation with yourself by consistently following through on the promises and contracts you make for your own growth.

Employee Turnover in Interior Design Firms: What to Do When a Team Member Quits Here is your calm leadership framework for replacing a team member, redesigning roles, and protecting capacity. When a team member leaves, most interior design firm owners feel two things at once: operational disruption and emotional impact. Projects don't pause, clients don't wait, and the principal often ends up carrying everything again—quietly, constantly, and at a cost. In this episode of Design Business Freedom, Melissa Galt—interior design business coach and former firm principal of 30 years—shares how strong leaders handle team departures with clarity instead of urgency. You'll learn what matters when an employee quits, how to stabilize the firm, and how to fill the gap strategically without slipping into over functioning or burnout. This episode is especially for established interior designers and design firm principals who are growing teams and managing real business complexity—and want a calm, proven approach to staffing transitions. You'll learn how to: (03:04) Avoid the costly mistake of rushing to replace the person (04:30) Audit the role before rehiring (and uncover what really failed) (05:24) Decide whether you need a like-for-like replacement—or a redesigned position (06:04) Use contract or fractional support during transitions (06:50) Protect the principal seat so "temporary" doesn't become permanent burnout (09:34) Communicate with clients and your team with steady leadership A departure doesn't mean you failed. It's data. And when you respond well, your firm becomes more resilient, more structured, and better prepared for growth. Connect with Melissa Instagram Facebook Linkedin Website  

In this powerful episode of The Heart of Rural America, host Amanda Radke welcomes back Senator Mark Lapka of South Dakota for a no-holds-barred conversation on property rights, grassroots activism, and groundbreaking legislation that could reshape the future for rural landowners.Fresh off a record-breaking rally at the South Dakota Capitol, Senator Lapka shares exclusive insights on two major legislative efforts:

"If AI can write my essay in 30 seconds, why should I spend 30 minutes doing it myself?" I believe students asking this question deserve a thoughtful response ... or even better, an invitation to think critically about their own values and personal philosophy around artificial intelligence. In this episode, I'm offering some tools to help you facilitate these conversations with students, breaking down the neuroscience of why writing matters in ways AI can't replicate. We'll explore three core principles: 1) Writing is brain-building: When students write, they create neural pathways through neuroplasticity. Every time they struggle to find the right word or rewrite a sentence, they're strengthening cognitive infrastructure they'll use for life. When AI does the writing, those pathways never form. 2) Writing is thinking: Writing isn't just a way to show your thinking—it IS the thinking itself. The act of translating thoughts into words forces a level of clarity that thinking alone doesn't require. 3) Writing is uniquely human: Students are still discovering who they are as thinkers and writers. They haven't written enough to find their unique voice yet. When they default to AI, they skip the process of discovering their authentic perspective. I also address the question teachers hear constantly: "Why can adults use AI but students can't?" The answer lies in understanding the critical window of adolescent brain development and why students need to build these skills before they can effectively use AI as a tool. If you're looking for language to help students understand what they're losing when they default to AI—and a framework for teaching them why their thinking and voice matter—this episode is for you.

When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. The consequences can be immediate, violent, and life-altering. Few understand this reality better than Jennifer Clark Eskew, a retired ATF agent whose career began on the front lines as an undercover Virginia State Police trooper and later evolved into some of the most dangerous covert work in federal law enforcement.

A Bad Day Undercover Jennifer Eskew's undercover career started early, and it started hard. As a Virginia State Police trooper, she was selected for undercover work at a time when female officers were still rare, especially in deep-cover assignments. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . One operation in particular would change everything. When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. “It was just a really bad day,” Eskew has said of the moment when an undercover operation unraveled. “The gang I was dealing with started getting weird. The energy shifted.” Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Her backup was slow to respond. What Eskew didn't yet know was that the very gang members she had been investigating had mistaken someone else for a rival. They shot and killed the wrong man, shooting him five times. “That's when you realize how fast things can go sideways,” she later reflected. “You can plan everything perfectly, and it still falls apart.” The incident underscored a harsh truth of undercover policing: even when an officer survives, the psychological toll can be profound. Eventually, Eskew made the decision to leave the agency, not to step away from undercover work, but to continue it at a higher level. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. From State Trooper to ATF Eskew transitioned to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), where her undercover experience made her a natural fit for high-risk federal investigations. At ATF, she went deeper than ever before, posing not just as a criminal associate, but at times as a contract killer. When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. “She was essentially an undercover hitman,” one colleague noted. “Or hitwoman. She had to convince the worst people you can imagine that she was one of them.” Much like famed ATF undercover agent Jay Dobyns, Eskew infiltrated violent criminal organizations. Her role required adopting a persona capable of inspiring fear and trust at the same time, an impossible balance where a single misstep could mean death. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “In those moments,” Eskew has said, “you're constantly asking yourself where the act ends and where Jennifer begins.” The Power and Risk of Female Undercover Officers Eskew's career highlights why female undercover officers are uniquely valuable in law enforcement. Often perceived as non-threatening, women can exploit dangerous misconceptions held by criminals. “I could go into any bar, and I wouldn't pose a threat,” Eskew explained. “I could get an enormous amount of information. They may look at me as a victim, but not as a threat, and that makes you incredibly valuable for UC work.” When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Female officers have proven especially effective in infiltrating drug rings, organized crime syndicates, and prostitution-related operations. As more women enter law enforcement, agencies are increasingly recognizing these tactical advantages. But the work comes with risks that male officers rarely face. “Overcoming sexual advances is a constant concern,” Eskew noted. Across the United States, there have been documented cases where female undercover officers were sexually assaulted during operations. These realities demand specialized training, preparation, and institutional support. More information and the interview with her is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other major platforms “There are things we deal with that men don't,” she said. “But there are also things we can do better.” Breaking Barriers in a Male-Dominated World Jennifer Clark Eskew always felt a spark, a calling to serve and protect. When she entered the all-male world of the Virginia State Police, she endured grueling academy challenges and relentless pressure to prove herself.

The episode can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. Determined to succeed as one of the first female troopers in that State Police agency, she faced rookie mistakes, high-stakes decisions, and constant scrutiny. Then came her selection as the first full-time female undercover state police officer in Virginia. Immersed in a world of drug dealers and gun traffickers, Eskew thrived under pressure, even as the adrenaline and danger blurred the lines between her real identity and her undercover persona. “With her fire burning stronger than ever,” one admirer wrote, “she refused to be extinguished.” Becoming Fire Eskew's journey is chronicled in her Book, Becoming Fire: Chasing the Passion to Protect, Serve, and Love. Part memoir, part survival story, the book captures the emotional cost of undercover work alongside the humor, fear, and resilience that define it. “You'll laugh, you'll cry,” Eskew has said, “but you won't forget it.” Listeners can tune in on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform and follow updates on Facebook, Instagram, and other major News outlets.

This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "7-Day Neuro Reset to Calm Your Nervous System,"  episodes 3444-3450. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to a brand-new 7-day series on the Daily Meditation Podcast: Neuro Reset—created for that very real moment when the New Year is still here… but your nervous system is already asking for a gentle reboot. Because Week 3 can be a turning point. The excitement of fresh starts fades, your routines get a little wobbly, and your mind starts opening extra tabs: What if I'm behind? What if I can't keep this up? What if I need to start over? If you've felt that, you're not doing anything wrong. It's simply your brain and body recalibrating. This week is designed to help you reset from the inside out—with short, practical meditations that support emotional balance, stress relief, clearer focus, better sleep, and a steadier mood. We'll work with simple tools that calm the nervous system and help you come back to yourself—again and again—without pressure. Each day has an arc and a focus, and today we begin with the arc of Release—releasing mental clutter, tension, and the "I should be doing more" energy… so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more supported moving forward. So settle in. You don't have to force calm. You're simply practicing a reset—one breath at a time. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "The 7-Day Neurocycle Reset Challenge" Every day: 10 minutes (2 minutes breath + 6 minutes guided Neurocycle step + 2 minutes journaling). THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Refresh Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "Clarity and calm begin with each new step." Day 3:  Coherent Breathing: Inhale ~5 seconds, exhale ~5 seconds (no holds), for 3–5 minutes. Why: A steady rhythm is one of the simplest ways to "reset the system." Day 4:  Gyan Mudra for clarity Day 5:  Fourth Chakra for compassion Day 6:  Neuro Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure Welcome to this special series: Refresh — a gentle, powerful reset for the start of a brand new year. If you've been craving that clean-slate feeling—not just on your calendar, but inside your mind and in the way you live—this is for you. Because a new year isn't only a date. It's an invitation. To clear what's been cluttering your inner space… to come back to what matters… and to choose how you want to feel as you move forward. Over the next seven episodes, we're going to refresh seven key areas of your life—not with pressure, perfection, or a long list of goals… but with inner clarity. Think of this series like opening the windows of your life and letting fresh air move through every room. Each day, we'll focus on one area—simple, practical, and deeply supportive. You'll be guided through: a short, grounding insight to create perspective a few reflective prompts to clarify what's true for you right now and a calming meditation to help you integrate the shift—so this becomes something you feel, not just something you think about This isn't about fixing yourself. You're not behind. You don't need to become someone else to have a meaningful year. This is about coming home to yourself—and gently updating the way you live, so your days match the person you're becoming. So wherever you are—making coffee, sitting in your car, walking outside, or curled up in a quiet corner—take a breath and let this be your beginning. Welcome to your refresh. Let's start the year with clarity… and create a life that feels clean, aligned, and truly yours. SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

A Note from James:You know, I've known Scott Adams for probably 12 or 13 years. He was one of the first guests on this podcast, and he's the creator of Dilbert, which was my favorite cartoon strip for decades. But then, starting around 2013, he started writing about his life, his opinions, his approach to life, and what made him a success. The first book he did in this genre was How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. He also wrote another book that was very influential, called Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter. Both of these books are must-reads. Win Bigly is the best book ever about real-world persuasion. And Scott Adams himself was kind of an—I don't want to say he's an amateur hypnotist, but really more like a professional—in terms of how he used hypnotism techniques for persuasion. And How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big...when this comes from the very first podcast I had with him—how his story of how Dilbert became a hundred-million-dollar success… he was failing constantly. And the story of the success of Dilbert, which he tells in this episode we're going to show you now, is just amazing. Scott Adams has more recently become known for his political musings. He had a daily podcast, Coffee with Scott Adams, which I regularly listen to. I would say over the past decade—or 13 years, 12 years—he has not only become a great friend, and even somewhat of a mentor to me, but we've talked a lot, on and off the podcast—his podcast, my podcast—and he really helped me out through some times when I was a little upset about different things. He really knew how to reframe problems so that they would become successes. And when I first heard he was sick—this was last June—I was devastated. And of course, he prepared us all that he was going to pass away, which he did a few days ago. It was really upsetting. And, you know, I hate when people kind of take advantage of someone's death by saying, “Oh, I knew him great. He was my best…” blah, blah, blah. I just want to tell you: listen, put aside all your opinions. He was a great artist. He was a great storyteller. He had opinions you may or may not agree with, but he really knew a lot about the DNA of success and the real mechanics of persuasion—no BS, no academic stuff—just really how to do it. I would really encourage you: you could better your life if you read his books. I love this guy. I'm really sad he passed away. I've learned so much from him, and I want to share a little bit of that in this episode. Maybe we'll even do another one at some point. But, you know, rest in peace, Scott Adams. And please, if you haven't learned from him in the past—or even if you have—we had a great time whenever we talked. And here's a piece of that.Episode Description:Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) explains why he thinks goals can actually make you worse off—and why systems, energy, and probability are the real tools for building a career that lasts.He tells the story of how he broke into syndicated cartooning after repeated rejection, and how a small nudge from a stranger kept him from quitting too early.James and Scott talk about writing with “danger,” why people can't reliably judge good ideas, and how persistence becomes easier once you stop expecting a perfect plan.They also get into the emotional side of “making it”—including why success can feel disorienting when you hit a milestone you thought would solve everything. What You'll Learn:Build systems instead of chasing goals, because the target will move before you get there Increase your odds by trying many small bets, rather than staking everything on one “perfect” plan Write with an element of risk—if you're not at least a little scared, it's probably too safe Don't trust friends (or investors) to recognize a good idea on sight—nobody can predict outcomes reliably Protect your energy and schedule your hardest creative work when your brain is actually sharp Timestamped Chapters:[03:04] A Note from James: why Scott mattered, and why this still holds up [06:50] Scott's new book, Dilbert, and why “systems beat goals” [12:26] Scott's daily routine and how he actually creates cartoons[15:22] The real Dilbert origin story: rejection, Jack Cassidy, and persistence [22:12] “Danger” in writing: why safe content gets ignored [25:01] The strange downside of success: when purpose evaporates [30:09] Passion is overrated: why momentum beats motivation[33:02] The math of luck: a thousand 10% chances becomes a near guarantee [34:45] Talent stacking: combine mediocre skills into a rare advantage[37:03] Energy as the real multiplier: sleep, food, exercise, and timing [41:53] People can't judge ideas: why “bad ideas” still have value[45:13] The Spider-Man problem: responsibility after you've “made it”[46:01] CalendarTree: solving a small scheduling problem well [52:42] Why James's biggest opportunities came from writing that felt riskyAdditional Resources:Scott Adams — Coffee with Scott Adams (official community site)How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big — Scott Adams (Amazon)Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter — Scott Adams (Amazon)Dilbert (official site)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are many people saying out loud and in public that they would like to see global beef production greatly curtailed or even ended. Organizations like the World Economic Forum talk about ending the idea of private property. Then they elect Larry Fink of BlackRock, a company that is actively buying up private property. How do we engage in the fight to protect this way of life and the property necessary to continue in it. Shad Sullivan joins us to help us understand what is happening and how we can get involved to push back against those who would oppose our freedom to continue in this way of life.Sponsors:Rogue Food Conference (Code: Shad30)Take the Survey:Working Cows 2026 Listener Survey

Uncle Si re-creates a chilling Vietnam moment when he braced himself for what he believed was imminent combat, only to later realize the situation was not at all what he thought. Rucker opens up about his nerves ahead of a trip to Africa and admits he's still amazed Uncle Sam handed a passport to an ex-con, which earns him a more relentless ribbing than usual from John-David. Martin briefly steps away from Si's spiraling theories and hands over the reins to Hunter from Kentucky, a young man the guys have been covering with prayer for months.

Chris Cuomo breaks down how the viral “6–7” trend isn't just internet nonsense, but a symptom of something deeper — a growing rejection of certainty, authority, and good-faith interpretation in American life. What starts as shorthand for “this means nothing” becomes a way to dismiss facts, accountability, and moral clarity in a country still grappling with January 6.Cuomo connects that mindset to two moments that continue to haunt the national conscience: the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and the January 7, 2026 killing of Renee Good during an ICE encounter. He argues the danger isn't only what happened, but how people justify it afterward — condemning violence on one side while explaining it away on the other. In a culture driven by outrage, tribal loyalty, and profit, “6–7” reflects how quickly moral lines collapse when nothing is taken seriously anymore.
