Corey duBrowa spent much of his career advising some of the world's most scrutinized leaders — from Howard Schultz at Starbucks and Marc Benioff at Salesforce to Sundar Pichai at Google. Now, as CEO of global communications firm Burson, he's helping executives navigate a charged marketplace shaped by AI disruption, ICE activity, and nonstop reputational risk. duBrowa explains why reputation remains one of the most powerful (and most misunderstood) assets in business, and how leaders should decide whether, when, and how to speak up.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode is a full-on “the headline is the least important part” takedown. We break down how the U.S. manufacturing side of the jobs data is quietly screaming recession (32 straight months of declines… yeah, that's a thing), while the media does victory laps on top-line numbers like we're not all watching the revisions come in later with a chair and popcorn. Then we get into the weirdest plot twist of the labor market: retirees are re-entering and grabbing new roles at rising rates, while under-25 workers are fading from the “new job” pipeline—because apparently the American Dream is now a part-time shift… after you already retired. Add in the usual THS spice: AI hype, crypto whiplash, and the “sensational headlines vs. reality” problem that keeps everyone emotional and nobody informed.

A newly proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Education could significantly restrict access to federal student loans for Physician Associate (PA) students — threatening the future PA pipeline and patient access to care.In this rapid response episode, Tracy breaks down:What the Department of Education's proposed rule actually saysHow changes to federal student loan eligibility could limit PA education accessWhy fewer PA students = fewer clinicians = longer wait times + more burnoutWhat the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) is doingHow YOU can take action in less than 10 minutesThis is advocacy in action.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 11, 2026. 0:30 An unprecedented national security moment at the southern border. We break down the stunning FAA decision to shut down airspace over El Paso and parts of southern New Mexico after cartel-linked drones crossed into U.S. airspace from Mexico. Commercial flights grounded, the military quietly neutralizing the threat, and comparisons to 9/11 and historic cross-border attacks raise a chilling question: was this a probe for something much bigger? From Mexican drug cartels and drone warfare to terrorism designations and the real possibility of U.S. military action, this is not routine border chaos — it’s a warning sign of escalation that could reshape border security, U.S.–Mexico relations, and America’s response to cartel terrorism. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has sent home National Guard troops deployed to several high crime cities across America.These include Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The FAA closed the airspace around El Paso earlier this week for an unspecified security reason. A Grand Jury has refused to indict six Democrats who made a video encouraging members of the military to refuse orders given by President Trump. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 House Republicans pass the SAVE Act—again—mandating proof of citizenship and voter ID for federal elections, and once again it heads straight for a Senate roadblock. We take aim at Democrats’ near-unanimous opposition, the handful of states that still don’t require voter ID, and the growing frustration with Senate leadership refusing to force the issue. Is verifying voters really “voter suppression,” or just common sense election integrity? 16:00 Did you swear you’d never turn into your parents… and then realize you already have? In this American Mamas segment, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson jump into a candid, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about parenting, boundaries, and the habits we promised ourselves we wouldn’t repeat. From “because I said so” moments and helicopter parenting to free-range childhoods, united fronts, and good cop–bad cop dynamics, the discussion hits home for moms and dads alike. It’s an honest look at generational parenting, raising kids without a blueprint, and why every parent eventually hears, “I’m never doing that with my kids”… right before they do exactly that. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 A blunt warning from across the Atlantic—and a debate Americans shouldn’t ignore. We react to comments from British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who says the UK is being “colonized by immigrants” and warns you can’t sustain an economy with millions on government benefits and open borders. From eye-opening wealth comparisons between Britain and the U.S. to free speech crackdowns, mass immigration, and the failure of Europe’s multicultural experiment, the conversation draws sharp lines between border security, national identity, and economic survival. Is Britain saying out loud what many Western nations refuse to confront? 25:30 A deeper dive into the jobs numbers reveals a story the headlines missed. We break down the latest U.S. jobs report and why what’s inside the data matters more than the top-line figures. Private-sector job growth surged while government payrolls shrank to levels not seen since the 1960s, wages are once again rising faster than inflation, and native-born Americans are gaining jobs as foreign-born employment declines. From shrinking bureaucracy and “deep state” influence to AI’s impact on wages, tariffs, reshoring manufacturing, and real wage growth under Trump, this is a data-driven look at why the economy may be stronger—and more America First—than the media wants to admit. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Hollywood accounting meets hard reality. We pull back the curtain on Disney’s woke remake of Snow White and why the numbers tell a brutal story Hollywood doesn’t want you to see. Thanks to UK transparency rules, Forbes was able to expose an estimated $170 million loss—turning a beloved classic into a financial bloodbath. From sneaky studio bookkeeping and royalty checks no one can verify to audiences rejecting political lectures at the box office, the message is clear: go woke, go broke. Audiences are finally voting with their wallets. 35:30 A shocking civics failure inside a state legislature sparks a much bigger debate. We react to a North Carolina sheriff who couldn’t identify the basic branches of government during a legislative hearing tied to a deadly crime—and why that moment exposes a deeper problem in American leadership. The conversation turns to Congressman Wesley Hunt’s proposal to require members of Congress to pass a basic civics test, similar to the citizenship exam. From constitutional ignorance and oath-taking to accountability for elected officials, this is a blunt discussion about why you shouldn’t hold power if you don’t understand the Constitution—and why civic literacy may be the missing safeguard in American government. 39:30 A Team USA bobsled athlete and U.S. Air Force airman Jasmine Jones' pride in representing her country stands in sharp contrast to athletes who criticize America on the world stage. Her words about service, sacrifice, and honor strike a powerful chord—showing what it really means to wear “USA” across your chest. 41:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about how the country actually works.

In this episode, Paul sits down for a wide-ranging conversation that traces his journey from physical education teacher to multi-level basketball official — and ultimately to building Crown Refs as a global education and mentorship platform. He opens up about his early years in officiating, the mistakes and gaps that shaped him, and how struggles with game management and coach communication became the catalyst for the Rapid Response system. Paul also reflects, quietly but honestly, on navigating early resistance and criticism as the platform grew — choosing humility, consistency, and purpose over ego, and trusting that impact would win out over time.The discussion dives into practical, on-court teaching: how to communicate rulings without over-talking, why conviction matters more than convincing, and how to balance rulebook language with coach-friendly explanations. Paul breaks down some of the hardest calls in the game, shares insights on anticipation and positioning, and explains why modern officiating requires both technical sharpness and emotional intelligence. The episode closes with a look ahead at the Crown Refs Skill Development Camp in Fort Wayne, highlighting a holistic approach to growth — signals, movement, communication, leadership, and character — all grounded in the belief that the best officials keep getting better, one possession at a time.⛺️ Register for the Crown Refs Skill Development Camphttps://stan.store/crownrefs/p/crown-refs-skill-development-camp-tmq5jdse

//The Wire//2300Z January 29, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK CONDUCTED IN BROOKLYN. ANTI-ICE PROTESTS CONTINUE AS BEFORE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-USA: Around the nation, anti-ICE protests and demonstrations continue as before. Civil disruption efforts of varying intensity were carried out over the past couple of days in the usual hotspots: Minneapolis, New York, Eugene (OR), etc. Smaller demonstrations of varying size were also noted overnight in Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, California, and Tennessee.New York: Yesterday evening a vehicle ramming attack was conducted at the entrance to the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The assailant attempted to ram his vehicle into one of the subterranean entrances to the facility, ramming into the underground gate several times before being halted. The suspect was detained by police who were providing security for the venue, and later identified as Dan Sohail of New Jersey. Immediately after the incident, a federal civil rights investigation was opened regarding this case.California: Last night a state of unrest was reported at a Korean BBQ in Lynwood, after ICEWatch intelligence networks falsely identified off-duty TSA agents as ICE agents. After a group of off-duty TSA agents were spotted at the restaurant having dinner, backup was called in to the activists dispatch cell, and Rapid Response teams were sent to demonstrate in the parking lot. After some time local law enforcement was also dispatched to the scene, to assist the off-duty TSA agents in departing from the establishment.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: While the individuals targeted in California were obviously not ICE agents, they were still federal agents wearing civilian clothes, so the intelligence networks which identified and targeted them were not that far off the mark. However, targeting random clean-cut guys with fade haircuts, polo shirts, and khakis...in southern California...is not going to work out so well when they inevitably target the wrong crowd by mistake. This has been a wider concern nationwide, following the spooling-up of targeting efforts in Minneapolis, which involve vigilante activists targeting anybody they suspect of being ICE, assumptions which most of the time are false. However, the scale of these efforts is still a major concern; operations which are laughable can become quite serious when these networks are functioning in every major city in the country, with hundreds if not thousands of "whistles behind every blade of grass"...so to speak. While these efforts are quite silly to most people, these vigilante activists are more than willing to die for their cause, which is a detail that should not be underestimated.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//
