Since reports emerged that Chinese President Xi Jinping allegedly directed the People's Liberation Army to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan by 2027, the United States has ramped up efforts to ensure Taiwan has the resources and support it needs to defend itself. On Capitol Hill, Senators Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Chris Coons (D-DE), both members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, are leading that charge with The PORCUPINE Act, a bill designed to streamline arms sales to Taiwan and bolster its defensive capabilities. Sen. Coons and Sen. Ricketts join Bret to discuss why arming Taiwan is one of the most effective steps the U.S. can take to deter aggression in the region. They also weigh in on former President Biden's recent diagnosis, and the U.S. decision to formally accept a jet from Qatar.

Sen. Pete Ricketts, in a press call Wednesday, said he supports President Donald Trump's tariff plan, but does not support the bills in the U.S. House and Senate looking to limit the president's ability to levy those tariffs.

A retired lieutenant can't see how a boost in defence funding will fill missing skills and trades. New Zealand's injecting $12 billion into defence over four years – $9 billion of which is new spending. It includes enhancing our strike capabilities, replacing the Boeing 757 fleet, and upgrading our javelin anti-tank missiles. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Hayden Ricketts told Andrew Dickens the navy, army, and air force already have more vehicles than they can staff. He says a commitment to spend more money on gear is great but without more personnel, the plan will fall apart. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Almost 400 civilian New Zealand Defence Force jobs are set to go as part of a major restructure. NZDF staff were informed of the cuts today.

Today we're talking with Jeffrey Ricketts, who, in July of 2022, took ownership of Mullen's Folly in Calvert, Maryland. Mullen's Folly is a log house located in northeastern Cecil County, Maryland. It was built possibly before 1789. It operated as a general store from 1789-1823 servicing the surrounding community with a wide variety of goods sourced in Philadelphia and Wilmington. After 1823, the building was converted into a house. From 1859-2022 the house was owned by four generations of the Berriker-FitzGerald family, until it was sold to Jeffrey, who is currently restoring the building to its late 18th-century appearance, and is rediscovering all of its lost history.  Learn more: https://www.eastnottinghamantiques.com/about-6

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz dives into the complex dynamics of President Donald Trump's recent executive action that delays the ban on TikTok for 75 days. The action was signed on his first day as the 47th president, aiming to provide a window for negotiations that could safeguard national security while keeping TikTok accessible to its 170 million U.S. users. Analytic Dreamz unpacks the Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which mandated the ban unless TikTok is sold to an American or allied entity. We explore the reasons behind the delay, including Trump's concerns about the timing of the law's enforcement just before his inauguration, and his interest in a potential 50-50 joint venture between ByteDance and a U.S. buyer. The segment also covers TikTok's brief 14-hour shutdown, its restoration, and the emotional rollercoaster experienced by influencers like Shay Sullivan. Furthermore, we discuss the resistance from Congress, with Senators Cotton and Ricketts advocating for complete divestiture, and the potential buyers like Frank McCourt and Kevin O'Leary who have stepped forward with significant bids, though without the crucial algorithm. Analytic Dreamz examines the broader implications for TikTok's future, the legal and financial risks for companies involved, and whether this move by Trump was politically strategic. Join us for a thorough analysis of these developments and what they could mean for the tech landscape and user privacy.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the 1930s, a beautiful forest in northeast Pennsylvania was set to become a national park. Which made sense. The area was special, even to those that purchased the land to timber it.In a time when forests across the Commonwealth were being clear cut to feed the growing nation of raw materials, this forest received some reprieve. As a result, 300-year-old trees were allowed to continue to grow – providing the forest with mature trees and the viewing public with examples of ancient forests.These magnificent trees stood 100-feet tall with diameters of almost four feet. But between these arboreal giants hid a collection of natural wonders found nowhere else in Pennsylvania. Two creek branches cut through deep gorges creating a series of unbelievable waterfalls. These waterfalls united and flowed through a glen among massive pines, hemlocks and oaks. Unfortunately, World War II brought an end to the plan to make it a national park. However, thousands of acres were purchased in the 1940s to preserve this incredible landscape and its otherworldly glens. In 1969, the glens became a registered National Natural Landmark and was later made a State Park Natural Area in 1993. We now know this property as Ricketts Glen State Park. Ricketts Glen reminds me of a quote I once heard. "And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul." That's how many feel when they visit this special place. That is, if the park isn't filled with other people trying to do the same thing. On this episode, I speak with Scott Wilson. Scott is the manager of the Ricketts Glen State Park. Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersSupport the showVisit our website to listen to the podcast, download free outdoor kids' activities, learn more about our public lands and to purchase merch.

Kap and Gordon discuss Sammy Sosa's apology and Ricketts welcoming Sammy back into the organization. What prompted the apology? What this long overdue? Why did Ricketts need an apology? Will Sammy get a statue at Wrigley?KAP's Official Website and Store: https://bit.ly/shopthekapman REKAP SPONSORS:--------------------------------------------

The Ricketts bullied Sammy Sosa into apologizing for something, though he wouldn't say what it was, and they're all proud of themselves for some reason. Tom Loxas is on hand to discuss it, talk about the trade/giveaway of Cody Bellinger to the Yankees, and what comes next. Andy has a better idea of how to fix third than he did on the last podcast and they head over to Obvious Shirts to shop for Sammy merch, including one of the most embarrassing items that place has ever sold. All that, and more.

The U.S. Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 Wednesday. The bill includes a pay raise for military members and allocates additional funds for projects at Offutt Air Force Base. The legislation also bans using defense funds on gender-affirming care for children of service members. Nebraska Senators Pete Ricketts and Deb Fischer voted in favor of the bill, which now goes to President Joe Biden's desk.

Christmas and New Year's leave has been cancelled for military personnel set to cover for striking from non-uniform staff. The Defence Minister last month invoked the Defence Act, letting uniformed servicemen and woman fill the gaps. Advocacy group Mission Homefront has written to Judith Collins - saying that's unprecedented and unacceptable. Co-founder Hayden Ricketts says uniformed staff already give so much. "You know, those uniformed staff have worked their butts off during the Covid-19 response, they occupied and looked after our country and MIQ and the managed isolation facilities, they've done their best through Cyclone Gabrielle."

Initially drawn by affordability and proximity, Mallory grew through her involvement on campus, shifting her focus from nursing to GGC's unique patient navigator program within the health science degree. Serving as a resident assistant, and later senior RA, she fostered a sense of belonging in student housing, supporting peers through struggles like mental health challenges and homesickness. Her leadership extended to serving as president of the Greenlight Activities Board, where she worked to create meaningful campus events and strengthen student connections. Mallory credits GGC's community, mentors, family, and faith for helping her overcome personal doubts, teaching her resilience, and shaping her collegiate experience. She plans to gain professional experience and pursue graduate studies after graduation.

Her advisor, Janice Alves, played a key role in guiding her through these transitions, encouraging her to explore programming, which became a passion. Ngo balanced her demanding studies with work at two restaurants, using careful planning and time management. Inspired by her parents' hard work as Vietnamese immigrants, she paid her way through college, avoided debt, and helped with family expenses. On graduation day, she'll wear a traditional Vietnamese áo dài to honor her heritage.

When evaluating a franchise, many entrepreneurs struggle to figure out where to begin. Selecting the right opportunity isn't just about brand recognition or financial potential—it's about understanding the key factors that can make or break your success as a franchisee. Franchise ownership can be a lucrative path, but making an informed choice requires insight into how different franchise systems work, what support structures are in place, and how those align with your personal and financial goals. Turp Ricketts, President of Franchise Development at HorsePower Brands, emphasizes that one of the most important steps in evaluating a franchise is examining the level of support offered by the franchisor. While brand power may seem attractive, the long-term success of franchisees often depends on the resources available to them. HorsePower Brands, for example, provides call center support, tailored financing programs, and national partnerships that enable franchise owners to focus on growing their business, rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks. This kind of support is often an overlooked yet critical aspect when determining the true value of a franchise system. Another critical factor is understanding the scalability of the franchise. A strong franchise system provides not only the initial tools for success but also offers pathways for long-term growth. Ricketts points out that evaluating a franchise means understanding how well it can adapt to market changes, whether through innovative marketing strategies or providing the technology and infrastructure that franchisees need to stay competitive. Whether the franchise involves home services or another industry, the ability to expand and scale your business is something that must be factored into the decision-making process. An often-understated element when evaluating a franchise is the franchisee's own ability to execute. While the franchise system can provide all the necessary tools, it ultimately comes down to whether the owner can effectively manage teams, sales processes, and customer relationships. Personal accountability and execution are key to making any franchise investment worthwhile. Many entrepreneurs mistakenly think the franchisor will handle everything for them. While strong systems are crucial, success requires a hands-on approach and the ability to adapt to the demands of the local market. It's also important to assess how well the franchise system addresses common business challenges, particularly in areas such as marketing, staffing, and customer acquisition. One of the most common hurdles franchisees face is balancing the support from the national brand with localized efforts. Franchisees often expect the franchisor to drive all the business through national marketing efforts, but real success happens when owners take personal responsibility for local marketing and building relationships within their community. The ability to combine both local and national marketing strategies is often the key to standing out in a competitive market and avoiding becoming just another commodity. Evaluating a franchise also involves a deep dive into the culture of the franchise system. Ricketts emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the franchise culture aligns with the personal values and leadership style of the prospective franchisee. This can be a key predictor of long-term success. Understanding the culture also means looking at how well the franchisor listens to and supports its franchisees. Is there a collaborative environment where franchisees can share insights and solutions? A franchise system that fosters open communication and continuous improvement can provide a competitive edge in the marketplace. Watch the full episode on YouTube. For anyone looking to evaluate a franchise, it's clear that success lies in more than just selecting a well-known brand. Thoroughly understanding the support structures, scalability, market strategy, and culture of the franchise system are all essential to making the right investment decision. A franchise can be a powerful vehicle for financial growth, but it requires careful consideration of both the franchisor's offerings and your own ability to execute.
