True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example. We also relive Paul's story and recall the pitfalls that led to his downfall... PLUS DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH JESSICA FREEBURG!

Respect. Trust. Laws. Myths. Police. Denmark. Policing in Denmark isn't what you might expect.In this episode, Allan Hansen, Deputy Chief Superintendent of Copenhagen Police, joins Derek, Mike, and Brooke to demystify how policing really works here. From the difference between 112 and 114, to what's legal (and what's not) when it comes to biking, drinking, or swimming in the harbor, the team cuts through the myths internationals often carry with them. Allan also shares what makes Danish policing unique: one unified force, a strong culture of trust, and a focus on preventing problems before they escalate.If you've ever wondered whether jaywalking will get you fined, what to do if you lose your phone at a café, or how police handle scams, nightlife, and language barriers, this conversation has the answers. You'll even hear a few wild stories from Allan's 30 years on the job including a sheep's head gone wrong and a city bus nose-diving into a canal.

With the level of control the internet has over our lives, we have arrived at a point when two people in the same household can literally read the same story and develop different interpretations of current events. Add to that the influence of the Q narrative framework where people interpret things said to mean something else, and we are now living out a fiction where truth is now a threat, not a point of discussion. Learn to pause, take a knee, take a sip of water and assess your terrain. The information war is only increasing and the objective is to conquer your mind and diminish God.  #BardsFM #PsyWar #PrayAndListen Bards Nation Health Store: https://www.bardsnationhealth.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

This week, Jason is joined by reality TV star and commercial pilot, Rachel Recchia! Rachel first captured America's attention on The Bachelor before becoming one of the co-leads of The Bachelorette Season 19, where she navigated love, heartbreak, and the spotlight in front of millions of viewers. She later returned to Bachelor in Paradise, further cementing her place as a fan favorite in Bachelor Nation, but Rachel's story goes far beyond reality TV. She is a licensed pilot, a career she's pursued well before the cameras. Rachel pulls back the curtain on her journey through two very different corners of reality TV—The Bachelor franchise and Netflix's Perfect Match—and explains what ultimately led her to say yes to Perfect Match. She dives into her true passion outside of television: aviation. From working as a flight instructor to breaking down the costly path of pilot training, Rachel shares her long-term goals in the cockpit, the different licenses she's earned, and how quickly she returned to work after her season of The Bachelorette. She opens up about how the men from her season impacted her mental health, the challenge of balancing a career in aviation with the world of social media, and why she doesn't see herself as an “influencer.” Rachel also compares reality TV audiences, reveals why she'll never return to The Bachelor franchise, and gets candid about dating after reality TV. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire money segment that offers an honest look at life beyond the spotlight. Rachel reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

Police Use of Force, The Controversy and Crime: A Police Chief Speaks. Special Episode. Few issues spark as much public debate, controversy, and division in America today as policing, particularly when it comes to the use of force. From nightly news reports to viral clips on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms, the conversation often feels polarized and oversimplified. Jeffrey Halstead is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. But what happens when the microphone is given to someone who has lived the profession, commanded officers during critical incidents, and faced the hard truths of law enforcement leadership? The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Retired Police Chief Jeffrey Halstead has done just that. With over 30 years in policing, including service as a Commander with the Phoenix Police Department and as Chief of Police in Fort Worth, Texas, Halstead offers a perspective rooted not in headlines, but in real-life decisions, policies, and crises. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . On an episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast available for free on their websits, plus on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms, Halstead shared candid insights about crime, crisis management, and one of the most controversial aspects of policing: police use of force. Police Use of Force, The Controversy and Crime: A Police Chief Speaks. Special Episode. A Career Defined by Service and Leadership Halstead's law enforcement journey began in Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix Police Department is accredited through the Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, which emphasizes professionalism, integrity, and accountability. “The Phoenix Police Department was where I learned the foundation of policing,” Halstead said. “It wasn't just about making arrests. It was about protecting life, seeking justice for victims, and building lasting community partnerships.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. After a distinguished career in Phoenix, Halstead retired at the rank of Commander. In 2008, he accepted the role of Chief of Police in Fort Worth, Texas, a rapidly growing city in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The Fort Worth Police Department, founded in 1873, serves more than 978,000 residents with nearly 1,900 sworn officers. Its motto, “Service with Respect, Dedicated to Protect,” reflects the balance between community trust and enforcement that Halstead tried to uphold. During his tenure, Halstead was responsible for introducing body-worn cameras, a decision that was not without controversy at the time. “There was skepticism about cameras,” he recalled. “But I knew they would bring transparency and help strengthen public confidence. Today, they're considered essential tools.” Police Use of Force, The Controversy and Crime: A Police Chief Speaks. The Realities of Police Use of Force One of the most misunderstood elements of law enforcement, according to Halstead, is the use of force. “People often see a 20-second clip on social media and draw conclusions,” he explained. “But they don't see the totality of the incident, the fear, the resistance, the split-second decisions. Every action an officer takes must meet a very strict legal standard.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. That standard is grounded in the Supreme Court's 1989 decision in Graham v. Connor, which established that the level of force used by an officer must be “objectively reasonable” based on the circumstances at the moment. “Reasonableness and proportionality are the guiding principles,” Halstead said. “Officers are trained to use the minimum amount of force required to control a situation. But when things escalate quickly, their training has to kick in immediately.” The Use-of-Force Continuum To guide officers, many departments rely on what is known as the use-of-force continuum, a model endorsed by the National Institute of Justice. This model outlines escalating techniques: Soft techniques: grips, holds, and restraints. Hard techniques: punches, strikes, and kicks when resistance intensifies. Intermediate options: tasers, batons, or chemical sprays. Lethal force: the highest level, used only when there is imminent danger of death or serious injury. Halstead emphasized that the continuum is not always linear. “Encounters in the field don't follow neat stages,” he explained. “An officer may shift from verbal commands to lethal force in seconds if confronted with a firearm. That's the reality.” Police Use of Force, The Controversy and Crime: A Police Chief Speaks. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Controversial Tactics and Public Scrutiny Certain tactics have become flashpoints in the national debate: Neck Restraints: Once taught in academies, they are now classified as deadly force in many jurisdictions or banned outright. “There's growing recognition of their danger,” Halstead said. Prone Restraints: Placing someone face down is common for control but can cause positional asphyxia if not managed quickly. “It must be temporary and carefully monitored,” he noted. Lethal Force: The most scrutinized decision an officer can make. “It is always the last resort,” Halstead emphasized. “And it leaves lasting scars on the officers involved.” Despite the media focus, Halstead argued that most encounters end peacefully. “The overwhelming majority of police interactions don't involve any force at all,” he said. “But those stories don't go viral on Instagram or Facebook. Controversy drives social media and news coverage.” Race, Disparities, and Trust Research shows racial disparities in use-of-force incidents, “These disparities are real, and we can't ignore them,” Halstead acknowledged. “But it's also important to remember that officers make decisions based on behavior, not race. The challenge is building accountability systems that both communities and officers trust.” Police Use of Force, The Controversy and Crime. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. He advocates for expanded training, stricter oversight, and more open conversations between police and citizens. “Reform doesn't mean vilifying officers. It means improving systems so that both safety and fairness are priorities.” Crisis Management: The Other Side of Policing Beyond force, another key responsibility of policing is managing crises, everything from active shooters to natural disasters. “In critical moments, communication can be the difference between chaos and control,” Halstead explained. “When confusion spreads, lives are at risk.” This belief inspired him to launch Evertel Technologies, later rebranded as Genasys, a company that builds secure communication platforms for first responders. Their product, CONNECT, is now used by agencies in 21 states. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Strong communication builds trust internally,” Halstead added. “When leadership and frontline officers are aligned, the whole agency operates more effectively.” The Role of Social Media in Policing Today, public perception of law enforcement is heavily influenced by social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. While these platforms help departments share updates and build transparency, they also fuel controversy when videos go viral without context. Halstead acknowledged both sides. “Social media is a powerful tool for outreach,” he said. “But it also spreads misinformation faster than facts. One video clip on Instagram can undo months of trust-building. That's why officers and agencies have to be proactive in communication.” Police Use of Force, The Controversy and Crime. Looking Ahead: Building Trust in an Era of Controversy Chief Halstead's message is clear: policing is complex, messy, and often misunderstood. But it is also essential to the safety and security of communities. “The public deserves transparency, but they also deserve context,” he said. “The men and women in uniform often face life-or-death decisions in seconds. If we want meaningful reform, we need to understand that reality.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. For Halstead, the future of policing lies in balance, between accountability and support, between transparency and context, between tradition and technology. “Policing isn't perfect. It never has been,” he admitted. “But with better training, honest dialogue, and tools that enhance communication, we can move closer to the kind of community-centered policing that every city deserves.” The debate over police use of force will likely continue to dominate the headlines, podcasts, and social media conversations. Platforms like Apple, Spotify, Facebook, and Instagram will remain battlegrounds for public opinion, while professional outlets like LinkedIn will be spaces for leadership voices like Halstead's. But at the heart of it all are the officers making split-second decisions, and the communities demanding safety, justice, and trust. As Halstead put it: “We need to tell the whole story, not just the soundbites. Because only then can we find solutions that work for everyone.” Be sure to follow us on MeWe , X , Instagram , Facebook, Pinterest, Linkedin and other social media platforms for the latest episodes and news.

Extreme weight loss isn't about magic diets—it's about science, psychology, and accountability.On today's show, I interviewed Matt Hoodie, a coach who's helped more than 30 people lose over 100 pounds and keep it off. We dig into his unique method of starting with calorie “budgets,” how he adapts plans for obese vs. leaner clients, and why focusing on macros or meal timing too soon sets people up to fail. Matt breaks down what happens to the body during massive weight loss, how to navigate metabolic adaptations, and the smartest way to reverse diet without regaining everything. This episode is a masterclass in the real art and science of sustainable weight loss.If you want the truth about what it actually takes to lose massive weight and keep it off, you won't want to skip this one.Timestamp 00:00 – Episode Preview00:55 – Podcast Intro 01:47 – Introducing Matt Hoodie05:41 – Why Empathy Matters in Coaching Extreme Weight Loss07:04 – Matt's Childhood, Medications, and Hitting 300+ lbs08:27 – Turning Point: Health Scare, Dietetics, and Self-Change12:48 – Starting Coaching: Early Clients and Realizing Nutrition > Training18:23 – Building His Own Calorie-Budgeting Algorithm20:41 – Specialized Coaching vs. Cookie-Cutter Formulas22:16 – Metabolic Adaptation in Long-Term Weight Loss24:05 – Using Carbs to Break Plateaus25:23 – Behavioral Curve: From Basics → Education → Maintenance27:05 – Empowering Clients with Education & Autonomy28:10 – Reverse Dieting: Restoring Metabolism After Weight Loss34:34 – How to Safely Ramp Up Calories Post-Diet36:25 – The Harder Part: Accountability in Maintenance37:34 – Accountability: 80% of Coaching Success39:32 – Coaching Beyond Macros: Habits, Empathy, & Behavior Change41:33 – The Coaching Industry's Problems & Client Retention42:49 – Coaching as Both Science and Human Connection43:07 – The Realities of Coaching: Not a Get-Rich-Quick Path44:26 – Where to Follow Matt Hoodie45:04 – Closing Thoughts and Call to ActionConnect with Matt Hoodie: Matt Hoodie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matthoodie/ Links & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben's coaching programs: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgT

Thank you! --- What makes us most free, is this submitting to God and this dependence on Him.  Yes, freedom is actually dependent on obedience rather than kind of doing whatever I want. When we fall in love with God and we experience that love, this deep interior freedom takes place and it becomes the most important thing of our lives—even to a point that is greater than our circumstances. This episode is the first part of our series on Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacque Philippe that talks about what it means to live in freedom as sons and daughters of God and how this freedom can become greater than the circumstances of our lives. We think we're most free when we can kind of be in control.  "I'm free when I get to get up every day and just have control over my life and my circumstances."  That's not a Catholic freedom according to Jacque Philippe, but it is actually being able to accept reality as it is. We struggle with freedom because it's hard to accept our weakness. It's quite difficult to accept our sinfulness—it's hard to accept these different parts of our lives. But if we don't accept ourselves, our realities, we either live in memories or fantasies where Jesus can't reach us. This episode is the second part of our series on Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacque Philippe that talks about and the importance of acceptance towards being truly free.
