The current state of national security is under scrutiny as the Department of Justice and FBI face significant internal changes. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are overseeing a systematic removal of experienced personnel, specifically targeting those involved in previous high profile investigations. This purge has resulted in the loss of elite agents within the CI12 unit who possess critical expertise regarding Iran and global espionage. The timing of these firings is particularly concerning given the recent escalation of military conflict and the launch of Operation Epic Fury. While conventional military strikes dominate the news, the silent threat of cyber warfare looms. Iran is recognized for its advanced cyber capabilities, often retaliating through malware and intrusions into critical infrastructure like water systems and energy networks. The loss of institutional memory and veteran leadership, including figures like Steve Jensen and Brian Driscoll, leaves domestic defenses in a state of disarray. Loyalty tests and political questionnaires have replaced professional merit, leading to a decline in morale and a potential breakdown in intelligence sharing with international allies. Google's threat intelligence experts warn that global cyber attacks are inevitable. As the FBI's foreign influence task force is disbanded and leadership roles remain vacant, the ability to connect the dots and prevent future incidents is severely compromised. The focus on personal retribution over national safety has created a vulnerable attack surface, leaving the country exposed during a period of intense Middle East volatility.

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine return to break down a weekend that felt like a bombshell factory. Leading off is the White House's revelation, Joe Biden has aggressive prostate cancer that's metastasized to his bones. The hosts argue this diagnosis was likely known and covered up for years, raising deeper questions about Biden's legitimacy, capacity, and who was really running the show. Enter: the AutoPen scandal. With James Comer dropping subpoenas and Trump calling it “just the beginning,” Cann and Zak explore what it could mean for executive orders, pardons, and the 2020 election itself. The duo also dives into the devastating Her tapes, debunking Biden's excuses and highlighting his metronome-assisted struggle with basic cognition. Internationally, they unpack color revolutions in Europe, Ed Martin's whistleblower revelations, and the shocking rig-job in Romania's elections. Back home, it's all eyes on Pam Bondi, Steve Jensen, and the massive shake-up inside the DOJ and FBI. Toss in cultural hypocrisy from Hillary Clinton, Trump's Middle East power tour, and a debate on Epstein's death, and you've got an episode loaded with receipts, strategy, and righteous fire.

The 900 lb. in our room today is a blockbuster story published this AM by Blaze Media. Steve Baker, the co-writer of the story, joins us at 9:55 AM (CST) and explains the entire story. What's it about? It's a shocking story revealing that FBI Director Kash Patel appointed the former FBI Head of the FBI field office in South Carolina, who was the architect of the entire FBI operation of rounding up every J6 "insurrectionist," jailing them, and destroying them: Steve Jensen. Steve's story in The Blaze quotes many people who were impacted by Jensen's "persecution" of J6-ers, many of whom innocently were waved into the Capitol that day by Capitol Police officers! Most of them have been prosecuted for misdemeanors, some jailed, but all negatively impacted by that coordinated witch hunt.Steve spends about 45 minutes breaking it down for us. Don't miss it!You should also share the story and today's shows with Steve with as many people as possible in your circle of important people.

Henry Jackson-Spieker is a multidisciplinary artist focusing on sculpture and site-specific installations, combining glass, bronze, steel, wood, fiber, and light. His sculptures explore tension, balance and reflection through the merging of contrasting materials. He creates public art installations at Midtown Commons in Seattle, The Seattle Center, Method Gallery, and Wa NA Wari Gallery. Jackson-Spieker has been teaching glass blowing and bronze casting at Pratt Fine Arts Center for the past seven years. Steve Jensen has been a working artist for over 45 years. Raised around family fishing boats in Seattle, his art reflects deep maritime roots. His latest “VOYAGER” collection is inspired by his Scandinavian fisherman and boat builder heritage, symbolizing journeys into the unknown. From 2015 to 2023, Jensen exhibited solo at major Washington state venues, including the Seattle Art Museum, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, and many others. Featured on Channel 9's Art as Voyage and Amazon Prime's The Story of Art in America (episode 10, 2023), his compelling work has garnered widespread recognition. Sabrina Knowles and Jenny Pohlman (Pohlman Knowles) marked a quarter-century of collaboration in 2018 with the exhibition “SYNCHRONICITY: Twenty-Five Years of Collaboration” at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. They have undertaken six international journeys, morphing their experiences into sculptural stories to share what they have learned about healing, compassion, and the power of the human spirit through assemblages of sculpted glass and fabricated steel. Their work is in the collections of Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Henry Ford Museum, Museum of American Glass, and Tacoma Art Museum among others. Jeanne Marie Ferraro was raised in a working-class family in Cleveland, Ohio, and found her artistic passion in childhood while observing the pouring of liquid metal into steel beams with her father. A storyteller across various media Jeanne's art has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including in Canada and Portugal, and is part of private collections. Alongside her artistic endeavors, Jeanne has dedicated forty years to teaching visual art, currently focusing on glassblowing, drawing, and painting at the Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle.

Prep Sports Weekly for Thursday, January 21, 2021. We're awaiting the high school football sports seasons, especially the athletes and the coaches, but how about the officials? Steve Jensen of the Snohomish County Football Officials Association tells us about the preparation for the referees that will be calling the games, once they commence.

In this 12-minute podcast, Greg Robinson, Executive Director & Curator of Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA) talks about the newly installed exhibitions for BIMA's spring shows. The theme is "Journeys", and this rotation will be on display from March 12th to June 5th. The group show addressing ideas and experiences surrounding personal journeys has themes ranging from travel and fantasy to personal loss and other life changing events. The artists featured in the group show also have solo shows in the art museum. These artists are: Marita Dingus, Denise Harris, Steve Jensen, Phillip Levine, Susan Lowrey, Ann Morris, Steve Parmelee, and Kay Walsh. A visually-stunning 27-foot tall, site-specific mixed-media doll, made of recycled hot-tub covers and other found objects, by Marita Dingus, hangs in the Beacon Gallery. It is visible from outside to passing pedestrians and motorists on Winslow Way, or it may be viewed from inside the museum's large corner window. Steve Parmalee's “Assemblage” finds the sacred in the discarded, and he succeeds in transforming found objects and materials into works of art. Steve Jensen's “Boats” is a selection of Jensen's sculptural boat paintings in the bistro gallery. By popular demand, “A Story Place”, the amazing ceramic installation by artist Nancy Thorne Chambers is being extended through the spring. Come into the museum and experience the magical place and essay contest for all ages (old enough to write). 2016 Island Treasure award winners Denise Harris and Cameron Snow will be exhibiting in the Garden Gallery, featuring Harris' mixed media sculptures, and Snow's hand-painted porcelain plates and cups. BIMA's exclusive, unique and extensive collection of Artist's Books is in its seventh rotation, this one titled “Form and Content”. While artist's books are most often exhibited in library galleries, it is rare in the US to find a gallery dedicated to permanent collections of these works of art in the form of multi-dimensional books. Listen to BCB's illuminating podcast interview of Cynthia Sears, museum founder and collector of the artist's books displayed in the Sherry Grover Gallery at BIMA. As further described here, BIMA is located at the corner of Winslow Way and Hwy 305. It is open daily from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., and is free of charge to the public. There is a bistro and a museum shop featuring unique art and crafts from the Puget Sound region. Credits: BCB host: Channie Peters; BCB audio editor and social media publisher: Barry Peters.
