C dans l'air du vendredi 23 janvier 2026 - Face à Trump, Macron dégaine la stratégie Top Gun"On entend que la France soit respectée, que l'Europe soit respectée". Le message est clair et a été porté par Emmanuel Macron. Le président de la République a incarné la contre-offensive après des menaces d'invasion du Groenland et des pressions tarifaires provenant de Donald Trump.Dans une réponse au président américain, Emmanuel Macron a appelé à préférer "le respect" et "l'état de droit" aux "brutes" sans "perdre son temps avec des idées folles". Un discours remarqué et amplifié par la paire de lunettes d'aviateur, que le locataire de l'Elysée arbore depuis quelques jours en raison d'un problème oculaire. Un accessoire inattendu, symbole de la rébellion face aux Etats-Unis.Une autre figure politique s'est fermement opposée aux agissements du président américain : le Premier ministre canadien Mark Carney. Lors d'un discours au Forum économique Mondial, en Suisse, ce dernier a pointé la fracture de l'ordre mondial et appelé les "puissances moyennes" à s'unir pour faire face aux forces "hégémoniques". Donald Trump a depuis annoncé retirer son invitation à rejoindre son "Conseil de paix".Donald Trump serait-il devenu un modèle encombrant ? En France, cette crise diplomatique pourrait notamment pousser le Rassemblement national à revoir sa ligne vis-à-vis du président américain. Au Parlement européen, le président du parti Jordan Bardella a exhorté la France et l'UE au "rapport de force" face à Donald Trump et son "chantage tarifaire".Les multiples attaques de Trump semblent également plonger les extrêmes droites européennes dans l'embarras. En Italie, Giorgia Meloni, principale alliée américaine en Europe, se voit reprocher le fait de minimiser le conflit avec les États-Unis. En Hongrie, Victor Orban s'est lui montré plus discret notamment sur la question du Groenland.Face aux menaces de guerre commerciale proférées par le président des Etats-Unis, l'entreprise Fermob a pris les devants. Afin de se prémunir des taxes potentielles, le fabricant de mobilier français a choisi d'augmenter son stock outre-Atlantique. Mais à long terme, la situation ne devrait pas faire les affaires de ce spécialiste du mobilier d'extérieur.Comment l'Europe peut-elle lutter face à la volonté d'expansionnisme américain ? Donald Trump serait-il devenu un modèle encombrant pour ses alliés européens ?

With his first dramatic feature The Well opening across Canada on Friday, Oscar- and Emmy-nominated director Hubert Davis is here to talk about Top Gun, the 1986 blockbuster that defined commercial American moviemaking for a decade – and made Tom Cruise a movie star for a lot longer. Your genial host Norm Wilner has never felt the need for speed, but he can see the appeal.

There is a strange set of organizations that live betweenindustry and government called Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs).They play an important—but largely misunderstood role—in national security.What better way to understand it all than with a guest who'sone of the most famous pop-culture examples: Christine Fox.She was the real person who was portrayed as ‘Charlie',Maverick's civilian love interest, in Top Gun! She spent 40+ years working as an analyst in UARCs and a civilian leader at the Pentagon, culminating in serving as the acting Deputy Secretary of Defense. Today, she continues to serve as a Fellow at Johns HopkinsUniversity's Applied Physics Lab (JHU APL), which is the nation's largest UARC.This interview has a ton of inside baseball that you won't find anywhere else!

New Year's Eve, no guest, and somehow the cockpit still turns into a full-blown sitcom. Fig & RePete kick off with a takeoff that goes sideways at V1 when “rotate” gets called… and apparently translated into “stare blankly into the void.” From there, it's the perfect hangout episode: Top Gun continuity crimes (medals disappear, sunglasses teleport), a hard pivot into the Air India 787 post-rotation dual-engine power-loss mystery (and why one explanation feels disturbingly too plausible), and a buffet of leadership horror stories that'll make you grateful for every normal human you've ever flown with. Plus: quiet professionals, jumpseat survival tactics, and one legendary “turn the checklist 90 degrees” power move that ends exactly how it should. Funny, sharp, and just unhinged enough to feel like the crew room after midnight.
We're flashing back this week to a fan-favorite episode. Shane and The Howler will return next week with an all new episode. “Shane and the Howler discuss whether or not the county fair is a shady place, if Steven Spielberg is an alien, and the true events that the movie Top Gun Maverick was loosely based on.” Please like, comment, and share this episode if you enjoyed the interview.

Coming to you from Canton, Ohio, it's our Stagg Bowl preview edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast. Patrick Coleman and Greg Thomas are joined by Keith McMillan, as well as Seth Howard of the Left Hash Podcast and D1 Rejects, a former UW-River Falls quarterback and assistant coach who will be our sideline reporter for our audio broadcast of Stagg Bowl 52. (Watch on ESPN, then mute the sound and listen to us!) Patrick, Greg and Keith talked with a number of players and both head coaches at Friday's media day, and we bring a sampling of those conversations, of which you'll hear or see more on our pregame coverage. Hear what UW-River Falls safety Andre Hall thinks about the pace of the game compared to the pace of practice. Cortez Jones and North Central coach Brad Spencer talk about what you'll see when the offensive is playing well. Falcons Gagliardi winner and quarterback Kaleb Blaha talks about how it felt to get a few extra days off between games and our panel discusses both the mental and physical benefits of getting that time back. North Central's J.P. Sullivan talks about carrying on the tradition of great Cardinals defensive linemen. River Falls receiver Blake Rohrer discusses the Falcons wide receiver group. Cardinals receiver Thomas Skokna talks about the possibly unexpected way he and quarterback Garret Wilson built their chemistry. Falcons linebacker Gage Timm talks about how the UW-RF season has prepared them for this moment and coach Matt Walker talks about the important thing he had to do before he could commit to the Top Gun offense. UW-Oshkosh coach Peter Jennings joins us to talk about coaching against each of these teams this season, and how you can't play the comparative scores game when looking at his Titans' games against North Central and UW-River Falls. Plus, we take your mailbag questions, talk about coaching changes and much more. That and more in this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast. The D3football.com Around the Nation podcast is a weekly conversation about NCAA Division III football, and has been running since 2007.
This week’s So There I Was episode is a Hangout — that happens when you put pilots, controllers, and a few proud troublemakers in the same virtual room and hit “record.” We swap the kind of stories that never fit in a checklist: a Harrier night recovery that ended six inches from a very bad day, a Learjet that missed an airliner by 100 feet in IMC, and a “UFO” sighting that turned out to be Starlink doing accidental aerobatics in the sun's glare. Then Heater drops in and casually explains how Top Gun almost became a dark vampire movie (until someone showed the director what blue sky actually looks like). Add laser-strike rage, EMAS explained for non-pilots, and the annual reminder that the Marines were the in-flight entertainment. Happy New Year—check six, and don't touch the igniter wiring.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
What do fighter pilots and financial advisors have in common?More than you might think—especially when it comes to performing under pressure.In this episode, I sit down with Carey Lorhenz—the first female F-14 Tomcat fighter pilot in U.S. Navy history—to talk about how the Navy trains people to perform in high-stakes environments without leaving success to chance. We get into simulation training before live reps, checklists built for people under pressure (because even really smart people forget things), and why debriefing is one of the fastest ways to build trust and alignment on a team.If you're building an advisory team, trying to develop younger advisors, or tired of repeating the same mistakes as a firm, this episode gives you a playbook you can actually use.3 of the biggest insights from Carey…#1.) Training Should Look More Like SimulationIn the Navy, pilots don't get thrown into real situations and told to figure it out. Carey explains why so much time is spent in academics and simulators—and why skipping this step is where a lot of advisor training breaks down.#2.) Checklists Exist Because People ForgetChecklists aren't about being rigid. They're about performing when pressure is high. Carey breaks down how the Navy designs checklists for stressed humans—and why the same thinking applies to client meetings and important conversations.#3.) The Debrief Is Where Teams Actually Get BetterCarey walks through a simple five-question debrief that builds trust, surfaces blind spots, and transfers knowledge fast—so teams improve week over week instead of repeating the same mistakes.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/149FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Top Gun with Mecha and reckless fighter pilots, involved in a love triangle involving a 4th party AI, ‘plus' the kitchen sink. Macross Plus is an anime film from 1995 based on the 4 part miniseries cartoon of the same name. This is a continuation from the Macross Franchise also called Robotech from the 80's.This Shōji Kawamori directed film is set in the year 2040, 3 decades after the previous situation with the war between Humans and the Zentradi Aliens. The three main characters are Isamu, Guld, and Myung who were high school friends on a planet called Eden, but after an incident that happened years prior they went their separate ways. Years later they met back up again, as the two boys were now highly respected fighter jocks who flew experimental mechas (hybrid robot/jets.) Also back on the scene is Myung who was the prior love interest of the men, and despite their friendship from years prior, there is now a hostility that exists between them. Through the film they are constantly fighting with each other, but a much worse threat looms on the horizon and that is a new AI model that is set to take over the masses through pop culture and its deceptive ways. Little did the boys know, but Myung was actually the one who was using her own experiences to train this new artificial intelligence. Sharon Apple the AI begins to have plans of her own and the three come together to stop it.This film had some very good reviews on IMDB and has a bit of a cult following. The four of us all have a different take on the film, when it comes to the plot, the music, and the animation. There seems to be many references to other films, one being that the AI might be based on the actor Sharon Stone.By the Creators of Cowboy Bebop and written by Keiko Nobumoto, Takumi Yamazaki as Isamu, Unshou Ishizuka as Guld, Rica Fukami as Myung, Megumi Hayashibara as Lucy McMillan, and Mako Hyōdō as Sharon Apple.

Lieutenant Colonel retired C. Scott “Sonny” Duncan joins me for one of the more thought-provoking conversations I have hosted on Moments in Leadership. Sonny's path is anything but typical. He enlisted in the Navy, earned an ROTC scholarship, commissioned as a Naval Officer, transitioned into the Marine Corps, became an F/A 18 pilot, graduated from Top Gun, instructed at NAWDC, and was slated to command an F35 squadron before the COVID mandate brought his career to a crossroads.We cover how he learned to lead through fear, how aviation culture built his approach to performance and accountability, why he and his wife made a values based decision during the mandate, and how he now serves at the senior executive level inside the Department of the Navy. There are hard moments in this episode, and there are leadership lessons that apply across every community.As always, thank you to the supporters on Supercast who help keep Moments in Leadership ad free and sustainable.GUEST BIO LINKSSES Bio, C.

This is what happens when you put a Navy Tomcat legend behind a camera and let him tell the story his way. Heater takes us from KC-135 tanker ops with that infamous hard hose, to the kind of “how'd-you-do-that?” plug where he's steady on the basket and still managing to grab photos mid-refuel. Then we pivot into Top Gun lore from someone who was actually there: the “Star Wars on Earth” in more ways than one; the image that helped ignite the franchise; two days of filming “You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin',” and the blink-and-you'll-miss-it mystery of a possible Darth Vader lurking in the background of the bar scene. Along the way, Heater breaks down what aviation photography really takes: planning, timing, composition, and the occasional blind shot that somehow becomes iconic. And years later, he's still uncovering gems in old slide boxes that prove the best pictures sometimes outlive the moment by decades. Long-form, hilarious, and packed with aviation history and insider detail. F-14 on the Fantail Heater Paint Scheme

Kilmas comes but once a year! This year we’re climbing into the cockpit and revisiting 1986’s “Top Gun,” starring some airplanes, Val Kilmer, and Tom Cruise. It’s a very subtle movie. Were Tony’s parents right in protecting his young mind from it? And most importantly, why do we remember Val Kilmer’s character being the villain when he’s actually the conscience of the entire film? Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra, Katie Mack, Erika Ensign, Tony Sindelar and Brian Warren.

Episode 190 is what happens when you hand the mic to Captain CJ “Heater” Healy and then just try to keep up. Heater takes us from a childhood obsession with WWII airplanes to roller-coaster “G-training,” to flying—then teaching—at the highest levels of naval aviation. Along the way, we hit the $10 “Mexican Justice of the Peace” wedding that turned into a 53-year marriage, the fighter-pilot path that almost didn't happen, and the mind-bending world of MiGs at Area 51 — yes, the ones that “smelled like a hydraulic leak with an electrical fire.” — Heater also reveals how a single photograph helped spark Top Gun, plus what it was like being on set and shooting real missile events that almost ended VERY badly with a very non-digital camera… including mid-flight film surgery. This one's a top-five all-timer—no doubt. The Shot that Changed His Life Heater’s Paint Scheme

Episode: 184 Financial Resiliency: Preparing for the Next Disruption In this episode of Restaurantopia, Brian and Dave break down what restaurant owners should be doing right now to strengthen their financial position before the next economic downturn hits. From interpreting economic indicators to tightening your operational systems, this episode is packed with timely, practical insights that independent operators can take action on today. Whether the slowdown arrives in six months or a year, the restaurants that prepare will be positioned not only to survive — but to grow. Key Topics Covered • Why financial resiliency matters now more than ever Consumer stress, defaults, industry bankruptcies, and the real signs behind a softening restaurant market. • Inverted Yield Curve 101 — and why it predicts downturns Brian breaks down (Top Gun style) what an inverted yield curve means and why it has preceded multiple recessions. A graph will be included for reference. • Market changes operators should watch Second-generation spaces returning, closures from national chains, shifts in discretionary spending, and how these create opportunity for strong operators. • Building financial resiliency inside your restaurant Practical steps you can implement this week: – Build a cash buffer – Run worst-case financial scenarios – Streamline your supply chain – Consolidate vendors to strengthen relationships – Audit & renegotiate fixed costs every 6 months – Create and maintain a contract calendar – Trim menu bloat and focus on high-performing items – Strengthen community loyalty and local partnerships • The role of digital organization Why every operator should maintain an internal vendor binder, digital logins, contract info, POS access, and more. Avoid the "who knows the password?" disaster. • Personal finance matters too Why your home budget affects your restaurant's ability to weather downturns — from subscriptions to Costco impulse buys (yes, survival buckets included). • Never waste a crisis Economic tightening is when the strongest operators scale. Brian shares real examples of second-generation spaces going for a fraction of past prices. Practical Takeaways Tighten spending at home and in the business Audit all subscriptions Review every contract (internet, waste removal, grease trap, pest control, etc.) Build financial dry powder Be ready for opportunity: inexpensive expansions, acquisitions, and second-generation spaces Always know where your digital info lives Tools & Tips Mentioned ChatGPT for contract organization Upload contracts to generate a contract calendar automatically.

Send us a textRetired Marine Corps fighter pilot, Top Gun instructor, and leadership consultant Dave Berke joins Joe for an honest conversation about ego, responsibility, and what it truly means to lead—both in the arena of combat and in everyday life.As the bestselling author of The Need to Lead, Dave pulls back the curtain on the high-pressure world of fighter aviation, the chaos of ground combat in Ramadi, and the quiet challenges of becoming a better leader at home. He reveals how his biggest breakthroughs came not from triumphs, but from failure—from dogfights he should have won, leadership roles he wasn't ready for, and moments where ego clouded judgment.In this episode, Joe and Dave also explore:Why ego is the most dangerous threat to good leadership—and how to recognize the voice that “loves you to death”How Top Gun actually works (and why the instructors are more humble than Hollywood suggests)Lessons from Ramadi—operating in chaos, fighting self-doubt, and learning fast under pressureWhy leaders fail when they cling to control instead of developing othersThe danger of complacency—and how one “guaranteed win” dogfight changed Dave's approach to preparationPreparing for your own departure as a leader—why good leadership outlasts the leaderThe hard emotional work of transition and why believing in your next mission matters more than salary, title, or prestigeWhether you're leading in uniform, managing a team, or navigating a major life transition, this episode offers hard-earned wisdom on how to stay grounded, remain teachable, and build teams capable of enduring whatever comes next.Dave Berke is a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer, former TOPGUN Instructor, and now the Chief Development Officer and a leadership instructor at Echelon Front. As an F/A-18 pilot, he deployed twice from the USS John C. Stennis in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He later spent three years at TOPGUN as an Instructor Pilot, Training Officer, and senior staff pilot overseeing the course.He also served on the ground in Ramadi in 2006 as an ANGLICO Forward Air Controller with the Army's 1st AD, leading his team on scores of combat missions and accompanying SEAL Task Unit Bruiser on nearly every major operation of the Battle of Ramadi.Dave was the only Marine selected to fly the F-22 and became the first operational pilot qualified in the F-35B, later commanding the Marine Corps' first F-35 squadron. He holds a Master's in International Public Policy and an MBA from Johns Hopkins University.After retiring, Dave joined Echelon Front, bringing deep experience in combat leadership, decision-making, risk mitigation, and building high-performance teams.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

Episode 267 Part 3 of the Mike Drop Podcast with host Mike Ritland welcomes Dave Berke—the only Marine to ever fly the F-22 Raptor and F-35 while also serving as a TOPGUN instructor and ground combat leader in Ramadi alongside Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. In this final part of an epic 3-part conversation, Dave and Mike go deep on the toughest leadership questions facing the military today: Should AI ever be allowed to pull the trigger on its own? Why fighter pilots hated autopilot landings, the real reason Dave walked away from command and promotion, and how a single phone call from Leif Babin turned retirement into the smoothest transition in military history. They also break down life at Echelon Front (how they teach Extreme Ownership to Fortune 500 companies), why leadership is hardest at home, ego vs. humility, military standards under the new administration, and readiness challenges for the next generation of warfare. Packed with never-before-heard stories, raw honesty, and laugh-out-loud moments, this is one of the most requested Mike Drop episodes ever—perfect for veterans, aviators, leaders, and anyone who loves real talk about combat, flying, and life after the uniform.

In Part 2 of this epic episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, host Mike Ritland continues his deep-dive conversation with Dave Berke – the only Marine to ever fly the F-22 Raptor and a legendary Topgun instructor. This episode is packed with raw, unfiltered stories from the skies and the streets of Ramadi. Dave breaks down why fifth-generation fighters (F-22 and F-35) dominate not through speed or maneuverability, but through total battlespace awareness – “If I know everything you're doing and you have no idea I'm even there, I've already won.” He shares unforgettable combat moments with Jocko Willink's Task Unit Bruiser, including riverine boat insertions with Chris Kyle, calling in a Hellfire missile through a second-story window to save SEALs under fire, and the emotional weight of losing Marines on the ground. From feeling like a “fish out of water” running with SEALs in Ramadi to the humbling transition into the F-22 cockpit, Dave reflects on luck, leadership, ego, and the real cost of the Iraq War. Whether you're a military aviation geek, a combat veteran, or just love real stories of extreme performance, this episode delivers powerful lessons on teamwork, situational awareness, and what it truly takes to dominate in chaos.

Join host Mike Ritland for an unforgettable conversation with Dave Berke – the only Marine in history to fly the F-16, F-18, F-22, and F-35, a legendary TOPGUN instructor, former Forward Air Controller attached to Jocko Willink's Task Unit Bruiser in Ramadi 2006, and co-author of the Extreme Ownership series. From the cockpit of the world's most advanced fighters to the blood-soaked streets of Ramadi alongside SEALs, Dave pulls zero punches on what real high-performance leadership looks like when lives are on the line. In this nearly 4-hour deep dive, Dave reveals the brutal debrief culture at TOPGUN that turned good pilots into lethal ones, why the peacetime military he first joined in 2001 was nowhere near ready for war, how 9/11 instantly transformed training forever, and the life-changing moment he left the world's premier fighter-weapons school to volunteer for ground combat in the deadliest city in Iraq. He also shares his unfiltered take on AI ending the era of the single-seat fighter pilot within our lifetime and the raw lessons that still keep him up at night from Ramadi. Whether you're obsessed with fighter aviation, extreme ownership, or what it really takes to lead when failure isn't an option, this is one of the most powerful veteran-to-veteran conversations you'll ever hear.
