Podcasts about Shock and awe

Mike “Flash” McVay welcomes a seasoned fighter pilot and Wild Weasel veteran to break down the evolution of the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses mission in the Viper community. From crafting airplanes out of bobby pins as a toddler to executing real-world SEAD missions over Baghdad, this guest's career spans decades of pivotal moments in combat aviation. Listeners will hear how a single incentive flight in an F-16 transformed a lifelong dream of flying Eagles into a passion for the Viper's multi-role capabilities.The guest shares his formative years at Nellis as a maintenance officer during the transition from F-4G to F-16CJ in the Weasel role, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at how the mission set developed. He discusses deployments supporting Operations Northern Watch and Southern Watch, including a gripping account of being in Turkey when 9/11 occurred and the following political complications. As the conversation shifts to Operation Iraqi Freedom, he recalls leading night SEAD sorties over Baghdad, vividly describing the chaos, coordination, and execution of real-time missions under fire.

BrownTown finally talks Trump 2.0, local collective resistance, the election blame game, and the half century of neoliberalism got us here. As the news cycles have been dominated by Trump, tariffs, Musk, and the MAGA mess, BrownTown speaks candidly on the the first few months of the new (yet old) administration, and how to not only resist the re-branded fascist takeover but unapologetically and collectively fight it and win (without relying on the same institutions that made it possible in the first place). BrownTown also reflects on where the podcast and SoapBox at-large was during Trump 1.0, comparing and contrasting both moments. Caullen and David unpack the Right's “shock and awe” strategy, Chicago ICE raids and the community response, Trumpism and weaponization of whiteness, and when the manniverse met the broligarchy. As we try to sift through poor analysis of this moment with even worse political actors, we're left with the words from comrade Asha Ransby-Sporn who proclaims that "we owe it to each other to resist attempts to disorient, divide, and distract us from the reality of government takeover by the billionaire Right […] The conditions of the moment demand that we are clear-eyed enough to meet the conjuncture and find openings for those new paths forward” (In These Times).

This is a special joint episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show and The Truth Report. M. Steven Fish is a professor of political science at the University of California, Berkeley. His new book is Comeback: Routing Trumpism, Reclaiming the Nation, and Restoring Democracy's Edge. Professor Fish returns to the podcast to warn that the Democrats continue to be weak and ineffective in their opposition to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement because they refuse to be high-dominance leaders who shape the public mood and inspire their followers. The most recent example: The Democrats in Congress surrendered to Trump and his MAGA Republicans by voting to avoid a government shutdown. The Democrats did this without extracting any significant political concessions. And M. Steven Fish explains how it would not be that difficult for the Democrats to adopt a high-dominance leadership style and to be an effective opposition party in defense of real American democracy and freedom. Unfortunately, the Democrats and their consultants prefer to be victims who are unwilling to rise to the existential challenge. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

There are two guests on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Dr. Justin Frank is a former professor of psychiatry at George Washington University. He is the author of several books including Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank reflects on how the American people and their collective sense of normal, safety, and security has been dramatically disrupted by Trump's return to power and his  “shock and awe” campaign against American democracy and society. Dr. Frank counsels that feelings of dread, fear, and anxiety are totally normal responses to such a threat – but the question then becomes what to do with those feelings. Dr. Frank also explains the psychological dynamics at work in why so many Americans were in denial, immature, and refused to believe the many warnings, over almost a decade, that Trump's return to power would be a disaster for the country and the world. Dr. Lance Dodes is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a training and supervising analyst emeritus at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. Dr. Dodes explains why and how so many Americans and others in this time of crisis are increasing their unhealthy use of alcohol, drugs, and engaging in other addictive behavior as a coping mechanism. He also explains the important differences between compulsion and bad habits and their importance for treating alcoholism and other diseases. Dr. Frank and Dr. Dodes both share their advice for enduring, navigating, and how Americans of conscience and honor can try to stay healthy and relatively balanced and ready for the long struggle during this time of extreme stress, anxiety, fear, vulnerability, general duress and exhaustion. Chauncey DeVega continues to navigate the long Trumpocene and Trump's first month back in power, what are weeks that feel like years and decades. The Dear Leader has now declared himself a de facto king, emperor, Napoleon…. or worse. And as Chauncey has warned for years, Trump is now literally whitewashing and creating a thoughtcrime regime against teaching the real history of American society and the color line with his very real and very serious Orwellian threats against America's colleges, universities, and public schools.  WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

USAID Slashed by 94%: The agency is reduced from 10,000 employees to just 600, leaving contractors and Democrats in shock as lawsuits attempt to stop the cuts. Treasury Department Showdown: A federal judge blocks Trump's DOGE team from accessing key Treasury databases, but a workaround is already in motion with a new forensic audit. Biden's National Security Access Revoked: Trump strips Joe Biden and key former officials of security clearances, citing national security concerns and Biden's classified document scandal.

Housekeeping ... Making sense of the USAID cuts ... Trump's push for ethnic cleansing in Gaza ... How Trump's tariffs undermine US power ... Deep Research and the AI arms race ...

With a pen and an executive order, President Trump nullifies USAID and cuts its 10,000 person workforce down to 294 in what may be the singular largest staff reduction in US government history. The panic is real as grifters don't just see the money dry up, they see a DOJ that has the goods. Dullard Rep. Al Green suggests Trump be impeached (yawn) in an increasingly desperate move to stonewall or slow walk the shutting off of the USAID money-laundering spigot.

Donald Trump is set to sign as many as 100 executive orders on his first day in office. We discuss the potential fallout if he enacts campaign pledges on mass deportations and tariffs that could devastate Canada's economy.

Congress certified Donald Trump’s presidential victory without incident, a stark contrast to 2021 when a pro-Trump mob disrupted Biden's confirmation. The session, completed in under an hour, proceeded smoothly despite a snowstorm, with no objections or evacuations. Tensions over the events of January 6, 2021, still linger.

On this edition of Ringside Reporter we talk about this big upset this weekend.  This is a huge upset as Jaime Mungia was knocked out by a journeyman fighter.  What's next for these two?  We'll let you know.  All this and the latest news and rumors on this edition of Ringside Reporter.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are exploring the shocking truth about how the media's shock and awes keep us on high alert but in actuality, weaken our instincts. Have you ever heard of the tale of Henny Penny? It's a classic Scandinavian folktale where a little chick named Henny Penny gets hit on the head by a falling acorn and panics, believing that the sky itself is falling. Determined to warn the king, Henny Penny sets off on a journey, gathering other animals along the way who are also swept up in the hysteria. However, they eventually meet a clever fox who pretends to join their mission but instead lures them to its den—where it ends up eating them all. And that's the abrupt, cautionary end of their story! OUCH. Ever feel like you're bombarded with so much shocking news that it's hard to know what's an actual emergency? Kind of like poor Henny Penny, who thought the sky was falling over a little acorn! In this episode, we're diving into what happens when the media's constant “shock and awe” leaves us in a state of constant worry, always braced for disaster. We'll explore how this can wear us down and dull our true instincts, and most importantly, we'll uncover ways to take back our peace, sharpen our intuition, and add a little calm to our daily lives. Let's get grounded and learn to spot the real acorns from the falling skies—no foxes allowed! I could have started by pandering today's headlines but to be honest, I didn't want to throw any more fuel on the inferno. I also know it's easy to look to a “simpler” past by saying, “Back in my day we had three channels….and you had to get up to turn them.” But that kind of angle isn't going to grab the youth of today.  So let's just consult the hard-core facts. I wanted to look at a thirty-year span so we could see how our consumption in America has changed over the past three decades. On the Cleveland Clinic's website, I found information about the biology of Always on Alert: Causes and Examples of Hypervigilance Carolyn L Todd gives us some Stressful News Cycle Tips: 13 Ways to Protect Your Mental Health found on Self  Over at Big Think's YouTube channel, Alex Edmans helps you Improve your critical thinking skills in just 6 minutes When we get used to constant alarming headlines and alerts, it can really mess with our ability to spot real danger when it actually matters. Here's how: Slower Response in Emergencies: When we're bombarded with “urgent” information all the time, we start tuning it out—even if it's important. It's like hearing a fire alarm but thinking, “Eh, probably another drill.” This can lead us to hesitate or ignore real emergencies, which can be risky in critical situations. Difficulty Telling Real Risks from Fake Ones: After a while, it becomes hard to figure out what's an actual threat and what's just noise. We might freak out over something minor but brush off something serious, which is not exactly ideal if we want to keep ourselves safe. Health Burnout: Constant alerts and stress keep us in a high-stress state, which isn't good for anyone. When we're always on edge, our bodies start to wear down—anxiety, high blood pressure, poor sleep, you name it. Eventually, we get so used to that stress that we become numb, and when something real happens, our bodies may not respond with the urgency we actually need. Community Safety Slips: Desensitization can even affect a whole community. If everyone starts to shrug off warnings, we can end up ignoring things like severe weather alerts or health warnings. This makes it easier for emergencies to do real damage because no one takes the steps they should to stay safe. Weaker Instincts and Slower Decision-Making: Constant worry over everything can mess with our survival instincts. When we're overloaded, it becomes harder to think clearly and react quickly. We can lose that sharp sense of what's actually dangerous and what's not, which messes with our natural ability to make quick, smart choices. More Apathy and Helplessness: Ever feel like there's just too much going on to make a difference? The more we're bombarded by negativity, the more likely we are to feel helpless. And when that sets in, we're less likely to step up when it actually counts or get involved in efforts that could make a positive change. Normalizing Risky Behavior: Over time, constant exposure to stories about danger or violence can make risky behavior seem normal. We might find ourselves being a bit too casual with things like safety precautions or risky habits because they don't seem like a big deal anymore. This desensitization isn't just about personal safety—it affects whole communities. Breaking out of it means setting some boundaries on our media intake, staying connected to the present, and making a conscious effort to focus on what we can control. That way, we're not only ready for real emergencies but also a lot less stressed out in general. CHALLENGE: Break free from the echo chamber—take a step back, question your sources, and seek out new perspectives that might surprise you. By doing this, you're empowering yourself to see the world in a fuller, richer way, staying curious, informed, and open-minded!   I Know YOU Can Do It!

Hello, everyone! Some Guy in Austin is back, and we are ready to discuss this week's episode of Joan's golden journey. We have lots of thoughts, opinions, and questions, including the following: Do we want to see sixty-year-old men in tightie whities? No, thank you. Was Chock a jackwagon for acting like Joan was his girlfriend on the bowling date? Did Pascal recoil at the rented shoes on said bowling date? Is Mark the sweetest, kindest man on the planet? How shocked were you by the final four? I personally yelled at the television. EPISODE NOTES: Click HERE for my official Bachelorette cheat sheet!

Taking a decidedly hard left pivot to do a cultural deep dive into the new buzzy movie that everyone is talking about, The Substance starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid, and co-produced, written and directed by Coralie Fargeat. Shockingly insane, it was like nothing I ever expected and I"m not sure if I recovered.But despite the terrifying visuals and sound design, the message was pretty relevant and thought-provoking. The Substance Official Movie TrailerNotable timestamps:00:00:52 - Cultural Deep Dive: The Substance00:01:33 - Movie Overview and Initial Thoughts00:02:06 - Personal Connection to the Movie00:02:59 - Reinvention Roadmap Newsletter00:04:13 - Movie Premise: The Substance00:05:04 - The Concept of DNA Splitting00:06:13 - The Male Gaze and Perfection00:07:08 - Body Horror Genre00:08:00 - Demi Moore's Casting and Performance00:09:04 - Exaggerated Male Characters00:10:52 - Personal Reflections on Beauty Standards00:14:00 - My Struggles with Body Dysmorphia, orthorexia, and disordered eating00:17:50 - Aging and Beauty Standards00:19:17 - The Morning Shed Trend00:20:54 - Fighting Aging and Embracing Vibrance00:22:03 - The Central Message of The Substance00:23:06 - Coralie Fargeat's Perspective00:24:50 - Self-Violence and Inner Conflict00:26:12 - Audience Reactions and Final ThoughtsLet's GROW!Schedule a free brainstorming strategy call with meSign up for the free Reinvention Roadmap weekly email Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Sign up for the free Reinvention Roadmap weekly emailAllisonHare.comFollow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube.Schedule a FREE breakthrough call with me Want to take these ideas and apply them to your life?

Sometimes you have to step back and look at the things that happened, in order to understand the present. Admittedly, things move SO FAST that it's difficult to keep up, much less try to assess things. I remember when I tried to cover the news as it hit. It came at me with SHOCK AND AWE. It's never timely, because by the time my show aired, it was old. Or it happened too early and it wasn't heard on my show. It's truly 24-hour news, and thus radio can't keep up. So now we follow it on X or wherever. But for two hours a day, I get to INTERPRET the news.   Facebook scrubbed his site, and I hear Google won't allow you to find much in a search about the guy.   Murders on NYC subways up 60% Judge in Cuyahoga County declared the Bianca Ellis who stabbed and killed a child to rehab hospital A Michigan city banned the flying of the LGBT flag. Gays feel betrayed. If they feel this way now, just wait a decade… Caitlin Clark breaks another WNBA record. No offense, but that's not a big deal. What record? # of dunks? No exaggeration, but there are more dunks in the NBA in ONE GAME than there are in the entirety of the WNBA's existence. Look it up.

The same FBI who worked with the Biden administration to improperly target Donald Trump, and actually issued a "kill order". So the DOJ went after Hunter Biden. But only after getting caught trying to allow Hunter Biden blanket immunity for his crimes. And even with the recent guilty plea to one of the far lesser crimes by Hunter Biden, we don't know his punishment. My bet is Hunter gets a slap on the wrist. While some may consider the FBI finally providing evidence against Hunter Biden as the agency doing its civic duty, this came only after the fatwa was issued against Joe Biden and he got officially ousted. Only at that point did Hunter Biden become fair game. Also, he provided a timely distraction from major problems inside the Democratic Party. However since Democrats' problems continue, other distractions are needed. Thus, Democrats made a call to the scapegoat farm. Who better a scapegoat than the man who helped Republicans build a case around illegal immigration. And in the iconic city of New York. The case against New York Mayor Eric Adams has been brewing for some time. But Democrats are smart about media cycles and fake narratives, which is why they are about to take Hunter Biden off the chopping block and replace him with Adams. On Thursday, the FBI has reportedly executed a search warrant and seized the cell phones of the NYPD Commissioner as well as several other high ranking officers. As an acquaintance of mine commented, "Something MASSIVE is happening in NYC." This latest raid occurred only hours after top aides of Democrat Mayor Eric Adams had their homes raided by the feds. In a coordinated series of moves, FBI agents seized the phones of at least four top aides to Mayor Eric Adams, including three who oversee the NYPD, in a major new federal probe of City Hall. Clearly, people in high places have issued a political kill order on Eric Adams. Early Wednesday morning, according to the https://nypost.com/2024/09/05/us-news/fbi-raids-home-of-nypd-commish-edward-caban-other-close-eric-adams-allies/, federal agents fanned out across the city with search warrants and subpoenas, going after https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/07/who-is-edward-caban-the-new-nypd-commissioner.html, the police commissioner (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-05/federal-agents-search-homes-of-nypd-commissioner-adams-aides?utm_source=website&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=twitter), https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/timothy-pearson-accused-of-sexual-harassment-report.html; a mayoral adviser with significant influence over the department; https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/07/where-is-phil-banks.html, the deputy mayor for public safety; and Sheena Wright, the first deputy mayor. Terence Banks, a lobbyist, are also under scrutiny. The searches were first reported by https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/09/05/fbi-raids-homes-of-two-top-eric-adams-aides/. Investigators are said to have sought electronic devices, including phones, in a probe by Manhattan federal prosecutors that remains shrouded in secrecy. The searches appear to be unrelated to the U.S. attorney office's https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/investigation-of-eric-adams-campaign-turkey-what-we-know.html into Adams's 2021 mayoral campaign concerning links to Turkey, according to a source familiar with the matter, suggesting that this is likely a separate probe.   The people targeted by federal investigators this week are among the closest to the mayor, both professionally and personally. I wonder if Adams and his satellites had time to destroy their mobile phones, bleach bit their hard drives, and delete a few thousand emails. Then again, that type of activity constitutes white privilege, and as it happens, all the people targeted are black. The article continues, Pearson served in the NYPD with Adams for decades and is said to wield a great deal of influence; one former official described him to https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/14/timothy-pearson-powerful-new-yorker-00091862 last year as “without a doubt the most powerful person in City Hall besides the mayor himself.” Recently, he has been the center of controversy after facing a series of lawsuits alleging sexual harassment and retaliation against former subordinates. He was also https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/10/top-eric-adams-adviser-under-investigation-for-shoving-guard.html by the city for an altercation last year in which he was accused of shoving a security guard at a migrant shelter. Phil Banks may rival Pearson in terms of power. A former chief of the police department, he stepped down in 2014 after being named as an https://nypost.com/2018/04/29/unindicted-co-conspirators-named-in-nypd-corruption-case/ in an NYPD corruption case. Adams nevertheless tapped him to be the deputy mayor for public safety, from which position he practically https://www.nydailynews.com/2021/12/15/mayor-elect-adams-downplays-influence-of-former-nypd-chief-who-helped-pick-new-police-commissioner/. He, Terence, and schools chancellor David Banks are brothers. Wright, who is engaged to David Banks, has served in the administration since its https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/20/nyregion/adams-deputy-mayors-dot.html, working initially as the deputy mayor for strategic operations before being promoted to first deputy mayor in 2022. (It is unclear if David was targeted by investigators.) “Investigators have not indicated to us the mayor or his staff are targets of any investigation. As a former member of law enforcement, the mayor has repeatedly made clear that all members of the team need to follow the law,” Lisa Zornberg, the mayor's chief counsel, said in a statement. For the record, I have no sympathy for Adams or any Democrat who may get caught up in scandal. I believe almost all of them are crooks. As I reviewed the list of players, it's obvious that Adams placed "friends and family" in some of these positions. But I do see the hypocrisy, particularly the racial hypocrisy of Democrats. Regardless, Adams put up a brave front, https://x.com/JCColtin/status/1831788802551202231, “Whatever information that's needed, we're going to turn it over, and I'm going to continue to be the mayor of the City of New York.” If we've learned anything over the 8 years since President Trump was elected and deposed, if the cabal wants to get you, it's almost impossible to escape. Two weeks ago, Adams and his campaign committee https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/eric-adams-hit-with-subpoena-in-federal-corruption-probe.html with grand-jury subpoenas in connection with the federal government's ongoing inquiry into his 2021 mayoral campaign and its ties to Turkey. Now this is a stretch to say the least and reeks of sabotage. Anyway, prosecutors are said to be looking into whether Adams's campaign conspired with the Turkish government to direct illegal foreign donations into its campaign. This develop is ironic, considering Act Blue launders money into Democrat campaigns, including the Harris-Walz campaign. So why would the party that survives on illegal campaigns investigate a mayoral candidate for illegal contributions? But their targeting of Adams doesn't stop with the campaign funds. They're also reportedly investigating whether Adams, who has long boasted of his https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/what-we-know-about-eric-adams-ties-to-turkey.htmland the Turkish community, Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Israel and Hezbollah edge closer to all-out conflict than at any moment since October 7th, following a stunning display of intelligence and technical ingenuity that targeted thousands of Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon with simultaneous pager blasts.
