Joe Pags calls out Chuck Schumer for a stunning reversal — opposing Trump for not getting Maduro years ago, then attacking him for doing exactly that now. Hypocrisy much? Pags breaks down why this isn't really about Venezuela at all — it's about hating Trump. He also highlights the heated UN hearing with Mike Walz on Venezuela and plays must-hear remarks from Mike Johnson, who publicly backs the president's decision. Then the show goes next-level as Rob O'Neill, former Navy SEAL Team Six operator who participated in the mission that took down Osama bin Laden, joins Pags. O'Neill delivers an inside-the-wire breakdown of how a high-risk operation like Maduro's capture can happen — how the U.S. gets in and out of hostile territory, minimizes casualties, and executes precision missions. He compares the complexities of this operation to past SEAL missions and explains what the public rarely understands about planning, intelligence, and execution. A thrilling, expert, must-hear interview. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Most people want to build something great, but very few understand how great things are actually built. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down the principles behind building organizations, businesses, ministries, and movements that last using real examples from Mighty Men, business leadership, and Scripture. You'll learn why purpose must come before strategy, and why the most powerful organizations are not built around protecting a “castle,” but around slaying a dragon—solving a real problem that benefits others beyond yourself. Garrett explains how purpose must be clearly defined, nearly unattainable, non-conditional, and bigger than the builder if it's going to attract the right people and sustain momentum over time. The conversation then moves into prototype, teams, systems, and scale. They pull from Biblical templates to show why you must start small, get the fundamentals right, and focus on real change instead of hype or numbers. From discipleship to business, this episode lays out a practical, repeatable framework for anyone who wants to build something meaningful, resilient, and God-honoring. If you're serious about building something that outlives you, this episode gives you the blueprint.Apply for the Mindset Mastery Scholarship by January 6thJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

>Join Jocko Underground< Jocko and Echo break down why “discipline wins wars” is not just about D-Day and SEAL teams, but about the quiet war in your own head every day. Using a 1944 Army pamphlet, combat lessons, and real-world examples (from donuts to debt to doom-scrolling), they show how tiny daily choices add up to victory or defeat—and how to train yourself to obey your own orders so you can actually reach your long-term goals.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jocko-podcast/exclusive-content

Get ready for a guns blazing episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed that cuts straight to the bone. Joe rips into the Justice Department's pathetic refusal to make the big arrests, calling out the endless crumbs we're fed while the real corruption, election fraud, money laundering, and foreign influence goes untouched. He slams the “they think you're stupid” mentality, exposes Colorado's communist-style prioritization of criminals and illegals over citizens, and fires back at pieces of garbage like Kyle Clark who can't stop putting him on air (thanks for the free publicity, Kyle)Powerhouse guest Ty Smith 20-year Navy SEAL, tech founder of CommSafe AI, PhD, and leadership expert joins Joe to deliver combat-hardened truth. Ty breaks down how political leadership fails basic SEAL standards of clarity and accountability, how toxic communication is tearing society apart, and what disciplined, faith-driven leadership must look like to reverse economic collapse, open borders chaos, and moral decay. From pushing decisions down the chain to relentless debriefs, Ty shows exactly how to reclaim courage and standards in a paralyzed nation.The show closes with a global wake-up call: Trump's first-ever land strike on a Venezuelan drug facility, China's immediate blockade of Taiwan, Ukraine's drone assassination attempt on Putin, and escalating Russia-Ukraine tensions. Closer to home, Nick Shirley's fearless investigations uncover more Somali fraud in Minnesota centers getting millions despite no kids, mobs harassing truth-tellers, and Gov. Walz's weak excuses. Joe declares: the Uniparty, fraud, and global threats are real. It's time to clean house, hold traitors accountable, and fight like our country depends on it because it does. This is Joe Oltmann Untamed: raw truth, righteous anger, and the battle cry to take our country back. Tune in now!

Vesper settles into the surprisingly comfortable Guildmaster's chair and begins issuing his first orders—starting with fulfilling his promise to Havor by increasing rations for the craftsmen. But when he reaches for the wax to seal his decree, Vesper realizes a critical piece is missing. The Guild Seal—the ring that legitimizes every Guildmaster's authority—is nowhere to be found. As ancient clerk Odo reveals that Orion wore it constantly, a chilling realization dawns: the seal may have drowned with Orion in the North Fork.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

Aswe turn to this passage of Scripture in 1 Timothy chapter 4, we arereminded—especially as we enter a new year—that we have tremendousresponsibilities as believers. We are called to be a light in the world, tolive a godly life, a life that is different. We have been talking about this inEphesians chapter 4. As we close out one year and begin another, I want toencourage you, as best I can, to discipline yourself for the purpose ofgodliness. Hereis what Paul told Timothy: “But have nothing to do with worldly fables fitonly for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose ofgodliness; for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness isprofitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and alsofor the life to come. It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.”(1 Timothy 4:7–9) Paulsays, in effect, This is trustworthy. This is something you need to do. And bythe grace of God, it is something you can do as you humble yourself andsurrender yourself to the will of God. This is more than just a commitment—itis a surrender. I remind you, as I have said so often, quoting Oswald Chambers,“The only right you have is the right to give up the right to yourself.” Thatis something you do daily. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:31, “I die daily.”Yes, we die to the flesh, and we live to the Spirit. Romans 8:1 says, “Thereis therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do notwalk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” And then Paulgoes on to say, “that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has setme free from the law of sin and death”. You and I have been set free inChrist Jesus—something we have been talking about extensively in Ephesianschapter 4. Thismatter of discipline is very important. The word discipline comes from theworld of athletics and training. It speaks of intentional, consistenteffort—not occasional inspiration. I remember when I was in high school, I wasasked to play on a summer baseball team, and I did quite well. As a result, Iwas invited to play on the high school baseball team at Princeton High Schoolin North Cincinnati. We had a really good team, and it looked like we weregoing to win a state championship. I worked my way up to being the leadoffbatter. I'lltell you, I started thinking I might play Major League Baseball. Because ofthat, I made some decisions. I determined that I was not going to eat things Ishouldn't eat. I wasn't going to drink alcohol, party, or put drugs into mybody. I disciplined my body for the sake of becoming the best baseball player Icould be, with the goal of playing in the major leagues. I also have a grandsonwho is training with the goal of becoming a Navy SEAL. Just the other day, Ilearned that he ran 50 miles on the beach—20 miles in the soft sand and 30miles in the hard sand. All the time, I see him training, running, and exercising.Why? So that he can fulfill his goal of becoming a SEAL one day. And I believehe is going to make it, based on his discipline. That'swhat an athlete does. That's what a soldier does. Paul told Timothy to “be agood soldier of Jesus Christ.” (Read 2 Timothy 2:3-5).  Over the next few days, I want to encourageyou with some spiritual disciplines—things we will talk about together—that youcan practice. These are disciplines I learned as a young believer so that Icould grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ and be all that God wanted meto be. Godbless you as we prepare for a new year. We are living in a time of crisis inthis world, and God knows we must do all we can and be all we can be for Hisglory. By His grace we can make a difference in this world before Jesus comesagain. Godbless you, and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day.

With the new year coming soon and winter temperatures still around, Roy Spencer from Perma-Seal joins Jon Hansen to discuss increased power costs in the month of December and how Perma-Seal can help prevent hot air from escaping your home.

In this powerful episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with retired Navy SEAL and Marine Corps infantryman Tommy Richardson, founder of Divine Savagery. Once a bullied, “skinny, dorky kid” who nearly ended his life, Tommy shares how a life-changing encounter with God, decades of military service, and extreme adversity forged his mission: to help others build unshakable strength, resilience, and purpose. Tommy opens up about being bullied everywhere he turned, staring down the barrel of his own gun, and the moment he heard, “Stop, don't do it. I've got something for you.” From there, he walks us through his path into the Marine Corps, the SEAL teams, and eventually into coaching leaders, athletes, and veterans—showing how our hardest battles can become the training ground for our greatest influence. Together, Gregg and Tommy explore how responsible influence starts with stewarding your own “I” so you can better serve the team—mind, body, and spirit. Tommy breaks down why there's no such thing as being “self-made,” how to avoid becoming a “supernova” who burns out, and why doing one hard thing every day can transform your capacity to lead and love others well. In this episode, you'll hear: • How Tommy went from bullied kid to Marine, to Navy SEAL, to founder of Divine Savagery • The moment in Haiti when a young Marine told him, “We'd follow you into hell and back”—and how that affirmed his calling as a leader • Why taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's part of your responsibility to your team and community • Practical ways to “chase the hard” every day—cold showers, accountability, and small disciplines that build big resilience • How faith, scripture, and the “full armor of God” shape Tommy's approach to life, leadership, and influence • What responsible influence looks like when you know your words and actions can either build someone up or tear them down If you've ever felt like you're in the middle of your own battle, this conversation is a reminder that you've survived 100% of your worst days so far—and you're capable of far more than you think. Tommy's story will challenge you to get better, not bitter, and to use your influence to lift others up, even when life feels like a fight.

The Adversary (The Tier One Thrillers) by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson https://www.amazon.com/Adversary-Tier-One-Thrillers/dp/B0F95HK4D2 From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson, The Adversary is the next heart-stopping installment in the Tier One series. For John Dempsey, it’s a time of uncertainty. As a new administration tries to piece together who was behind the assassination of an American president, task force Ember is a team without a target. Newly Minted POTUS, Kelso Jarvis, is haunted by strange dreams of a house on fire, and Dempsey’s son Jake–who has begun his own journey as a SEAL–can’t escape the ghost of the father he believes to be dead. But when a routine intelligence gathering mission in Taiwan goes horribly wrong and one of Ember’s own is captured, Dempsey’s frustration only grows. As Ember races to rescue their teammate before it’s too late, three of America’s strongest warriors–Dempsey, Jarvis, and Jake–must ask themselves if tomorrow’s adversary resides across the Taiwan Strait, or within themselves.

Foundations of Amateur Radio One of the potentially trickier aspects of putting together your shack is connecting the radio to the antenna. On the face of it, the challenge is limited to making sure that you have mating connectors on both ends, but when you actually start implementing this you'll run into several other considerations. The very first one as I said is the connector. Every amateur I've ever spoken to goes through the same process. You pick a connector, typically the one that your radio comes with, then you adapt the connector on your coaxial cable to suit, then you'll get an SWR meter, a dummy load, some testing gear, a coax switch or two, perhaps another radio, or an amplifier and along the way you'll discover that you now have a growing collection of connectors to choose from, and that's just the connectors inside the shack. After considering connectors, you'll start to contemplate the coax itself. You'll likely weigh price against signal loss, but there are other aspects to the selection of the right coax for the job. For example, how do you get the coax actually into the shack? One of the main challenges associated with solving that problem is surprisingly something that rarely affects our hobby, other than any human factors associated with the phenomenon of "weather". Getting coax into a shack generally involves passing through a weather proof barrier of some sort. In doing so, you're likely to create a place where the weather can make its way into places it's not supposed to. Water can and will travel along your coax. Hopefully on the outside of it, but if you're unlucky, on the inside too, likely destroying it along the way. At first glance you'll think that water only travels down with gravity and in an ideal world you'd be right, but as it happens, water will happily do other things like get blown by the wind, or condensate in temperature gradients, like those found near a hole you just created in your lovely weather proof barrier. If your shack has existing openings, they're generally the easiest to appropriate, things like gaps in the eves, existing vent holes, between roof tiles or sheet iron, plenty of existing places where you can get from inside to outside a shack. Note that this is also the case if your shack is a trestle table tucked away in an office, like mine. Before I continue, I'm about to raise some potential safety issues, but I'm not an occupational health and safety professional, so, do your own due diligence. If you do need to go into your roof space, height aside, consider it a dangerous place. Make sure that there's someone to check on you and consider alternatives to climbing up there. Wearing a face mask and full body clothing is a very good idea. Often you'll find exposed wires, deteriorating or toxic insulation and other nasty things, conductivity of steel roof frames and pipes are also a hazard, so be extremely reluctant to venture there. Avoidance is preferable. Working at heights 101: Don't .. that said, there may be no alternative. You can lift corrugated iron sheets by undoing the roofing screws. If you do, make absolutely sure that you don't make a string of water inlet points when you put it all back together. In lifting a sheet, you can access the roof space and run your coax. Sometimes the gap between the corrugation and the rafters is sufficient to push the coax through, but if you live in a hot climate, make sure that it doesn't touch the sheeting, since coax is likely to distort, if not outright melt, if it's in direct contact with the iron sheet while the sun is belting down on it. Consider the temperature rating of your coax. Similarly, terracotta roof tiles tend to have enough space to allow coax to enter the roof space. Be very careful, since they're often fragile and potentially irreplaceable. Look for openings like existing roof fittings, things like chimneys, vent pipes, roof ridges, etc. for simpler points of entry. If you need to make a hole in your roof and seal it, there's special rubber grommets for this purpose. You cut a little opening in the grommet, too tight for the coax, then force it through. Seal to the roof with UV-stable silicone and you're good to go. Check them every so many years, they deteriorate. Speaking of silicone, if there's an existing hole that you're using, don't just seal it up, it might be there for a reason. Windows often have vent holes or gaps that will fit some types of coax and there's inserts you can use to open a sliding window that will accommodate coax, but consider the security of that window before you commit. There's also special flat coax for running through a window frame or under a door, but check before you buy that they're suitable for the job. Ladder line is also an option, it's much thinner, can travel longer distances, but its performance can be affected by corrugated iron and other conductors. Rarely if ever does the initial acquisition of coaxial cable involve details like "bending radius", the smallest turn you can make with the coax without destroying its characteristics, since bending causes the insulation, the core and the shield to distort to some degree and with it, affect the RF passing through. Whichever path your coax takes, consider that you can cut it short, but not long. If you really must know how long the coax is, use some string to run along the proposed path, but beware, the string has a bending radius that approaches zero, coax does not. Most coax will specify a bending radius for fixed and repeated bending. The fixed one is for a one time only bend and 65 mm is typical. Thinner coax tends to have a smaller bending radius, but that might affect the signal loss, or the budget, or both, so take that into account. Cutting and joining also introduces points of failure, places of moisture ingress, thick spots that cannot be pulled through existing holes, and plenty of other hidden fun and games, in other words, don't be stingy, get it right, it might cost a few bob extra, but you'll have a happier time of it. If you need to run your coax inside a wall, the tool you're looking for is called a "Cavity King", not of the embalming variety, though relevant if you happen to do something foolish like drill a hole through an existing power wire in your building, so don't start drilling holes where it suits without checking first. If you do, make sure that you drill on an angle facing upwards from the outside and find a place where the coax itself doesn't get wet on the way in. Speaking of holes. Terminate the coax after you installed it, not before. You can use electrical tape to attach a rope to pull the coax along its route without damaging the coax. Before you close up the roof and pack everything away attach the connectors to the coax and properly test it. If it fails your tests, it's easier to run it again with everything in place than it is to start from scratch, ask me how I know. In my shack, I have a run of RG-214 that goes to my VHF/UHF vertical, I also have a run of quad shield RG-6 that goes to my HF antenna. If you're familiar with coax indicators, you'll know that RG-6 is actually 75 Ohm, not 50 Ohm. Given that it's made from aluminium, not copper, it's also an absolute turd to solder. What it does have going for it is that it's absurdly cheap, since its used in satellite dish installations across the planet. It also very handily can be terminated with F-type compression connectors, which in the 25 years I've used them, I've yet to see fail. The F-type connector can accommodate a handy BNC adaptor, bringing us back into the realm of amateur radio. My coax goes under the corrugated iron of my roof through the plasterboard of my office wall, hidden away in a cupboard, snakes under the cupboard door, along the wall to the termination coax switch that is in turn connected to my radio, more on that another time. The two coax runs are tied together, to ensure that they don't coil weirdly, don't pose a trip hazard and it's connected to various fixed points along its path. None of it is permanent, other than the hole in the plasterboard, inside a cupboard, behind a faceplate. So, after removing the coax, a blanking plate brings everything back to invisible if that's ever required. What happens outside is a whole different story and what it attaches to, yet another. The point is that from the place of picking the right connector, you likely discovered that routing coax is potentially a bigger challenge than you might have considered at first. There are other options. What issues affect the ingress of coax at your shack? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

In this powerful Hidden Killers special, we bring together two of the most revealing conversations ever recorded about the Adelson family — the psychological roots of the crime and the stunning courtroom collapse that followed. This is the full story behind the guilty verdict, built from expert behavioral insight and razor-sharp legal analysis. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke returns to break down what he calls one of the most disturbing dynamics he's ever studied: the enmeshed, codependent, emotionally fused relationship between Donna Adelson and her son, Charlie. This wasn't maternal affection — it was psychological domination. Dreeke explores how Donna's patterns of guilt, fear, and emotional punishment shaped Charlie into an unquestioning extension of her will, even into his 40s. This is the framework, he argues, that made him the perfect participant in a murder-for-hire plot he may never have fully challenged. We discuss emotional incest (not sexual, but psychological), the roles Wendi and Harvey played in Donna's internal hierarchy, and how decades of control can warp judgment, loyalty, and identity. The result? A generational collapse — a family built on dependency now crumbling in the glare of national scrutiny. Then, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony, Todd, and Stacey for a complete breakdown of what happened when the jury returned its decision: • Donna's courtroom outbursts and unraveling demeanor • The jailhouse informants who helped secure the conviction • Devastating testimony from Wendi, Robert, and Jeffrey LaCasse • Whether Wendi Adelson could now be facing legal danger • What Charlie may try to bargain — and what Harvey's future may hold • And Donna's grim reality inside a Florida women's prison It took jurors just three hours to convict her. But the story of why it happened — and what led to this moment — is far deeper. This episode exposes the psychology, the evidence, and the family rot that prosecutors say fueled one of Florida's most notorious murder conspiracies. #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #WendiAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #EricFaddis #FamilyDynamics #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Born and raised in the mountains of rural northwest Georgia, Chadd grew up obsessed with becoming a SEAL, but when the Navy discovered a rare but asymptomatic cyst on his heart, he was disqualified from entering BUD/s. Chadd refused to give up, ultimately tracking down a surgeon willing to perform a procedure deemed too risky by every cardiologist he previously petitioned. Cyst successfully removed, Chadd went on to realize his SEAL dream, serving over the next decade as a Team Leader on multiple deployments to conflict zones across the world. He became a SEAL instructor. A Master Training Specialist. Chadd even served a stint as President Obama's bodyguard. Along the way, he battled PTSD and traumatic brain injury. Now retired from the military, Chadd has found new life as an elite ultramarathoner — a spiritual quest for self-knowledge and mind-body mastery that has compelled him to tackle some of the world's most insane endurance slogs like The Revenant — a 118-mile footrace across south New Zealand with over 52,000 feet of elevation gain that not one person has ever successfully completed.

Join Rich Froning as he sits down with former Navy SEAL Ian Schinelli for a deep dive into preparation, pressure, and what it takes to stay ready when it matters. From marathon and swim events for the SEAL Foundation to the realities of SEAL training, Ian breaks down how running, swimming, and thousands of reps built the foundation he needed long before stepping into BUD/S. He explains the shock of Hell Week, the mindset that keeps you from quitting, and why controlling your head is more important than controlling your body.The conversation turns to shared suffering—how CrossFit, hunting, and even long mountain days create the same kind of bond Ian found in the military. He and Rich talk about balancing training with real life, why community makes hard things possible, and what happens to your calm under pressure when the chaos hits.
