President Trump is set to deliver the first State of the Union address of his second term on Tuesday night, in front of a joint session of Congress. He's expected to highlight his administration's actions, including immigration policy, lowering inflation and his efforts to end global conflicts. Trump also invited the U.S. Men's Olympic hockey team to attend, after winning the gold medal against Canada.The Northeast is digging out on Tuesday morning after the strongest winter storm in a decade dumped more than two feet of snow and left hundreds of thousands without power. In New York City, schools are set to re-open despite concerns over snow-packed sidewalks. Airlines are adding flights as travel bans lift, and forecasters are already tracking another storm later this week.Some American tourists are stranded in western Mexico. The situation follows cartel violence that erupted after the killing of a top cartel boss known as 'El Mencho.' Travelers describe lockdowns at resorts and tense conditions in the streets. The State Department has issued a shelter-in-place advisory. Airlines are beginning to restore limited service, but for many Americans, getting home remains uncertain.

Headlines and 12th man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Gregg got stranded in Boston but wasn't going to let a couple feet of snow stop him from getting to the Combine! He joins us from the road as he roadtrips his way from Boston to Indianapolis. What are the chances the Seahawks bring back Ken Walker? They've had plenty of chances to get a deal done before this point, but by all accounts, they haven't approached Walker or his people about making something happen. If the Seahawks don't bring back Walker, where do they spend that money? Who becomes the priority? :30- EELI TOLVANEN (Seattle Kraken) joins the show fresh off his Olympic bronze medal. His Finnish team beat Sweden for the bronze, so we ask him what makes Finland better than Sweden? How is he feeling coming off the Olympics? Is he tired? With 25 games to go, we talk to Eeli about the playoff push and more. :45- There were so many takeaways from last week in Peoria, so it's time to find out what Chuck learned at Spring Training Part 3. The organization is very excited about Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan, but how will they be used? What we learned is that we don't expect either of them to appear much, barring injury (knock on wood) and if there is an issue, Emerson Hancock would be the 1st man up. Where does the starting pitching depth go from there? Yes, there is a chance they will both make their debuts this year, but we don't expect to see them early.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) A powerful winter storm has isolated New York City and hobbled transport networks, threatening to be among its worst on record, with 41 million people across the US East Coast facing blizzard conditions. The storm shut down the vast majority of flights out of the region’s largest airports on Monday, including in the New York area and in Boston. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared a state of emergency and closed streets, highways and bridges to most traffic after 9 p.m. Sunday until noon Monday. Major snowfall of as much as 30 inches is expected across the East Coast in some areas, with the heaviest set through Sunday night and into Monday morning, the National Weather Service said, making travel impossible.2) Senior US officials said President Trump’s tariff defeat at the Supreme Court won’t unravel deals negotiated with US partners as they sought to defend the administration’s assertive trade policies. Those deals — which the administration made with partners including China, the European Union, Japan and South Korea — remain in place, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation. He sought to separate those arrangements from the planned 15% global tariff Trump announced Saturday. Friction over the renewed uncertainty spilled out Sunday as the European Parliament’s trade chief said he’ll propose freezing the EU’s ratification of a trade deal with the US until the Trump administration clarifies its policy. In New Delhi, officials cited similar reasons for India postponing talks in the US this week on finalizing an interim trade deal. The US Supreme Court ruling that struck down Trump’s use of emergency authority to wield tariffs preceded his planned trip next month to China. Greer suggested that alternative US trade tools, including those involving investigations of other countries’ trade practices, would give the US leverage.3) The US and Iran are set to resume talks Thursday in Geneva, according to Omani mediators. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he expects to meet US special envoy Steve Witkoff for the talks and reiterated that Iran won’t be pressured by a US military buildup in the region. Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said on X that the US-Iran negotiations “are now set for Geneva this Thursday, with a positive push to go the extra mile towards finalizing the deal.” After talks last week, a US official said Iran was expected to return with proposals in two weeks to bridge remaining gaps. The US has orchestrated a massive military buildup in the Middle East including two aircraft carriers as President Trump presses Tehran for a new nuclear deal. Trump said on Friday he’s considering limited strikes on Iran, risking another destabilizing conflict.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wildfire response constitutes the primary national concern as we delve into the developments surrounding the ongoing fires in the Southern Plains, particularly in Oklahoma's Panhandle and its western counties. The Ranger Road Fire, which has expanded significantly into Kansas, exemplifies the critical nature of this situation, with emergency management reporting substantial acreage affected and a mere 15% containment. Additionally, the state of Texas has received federal assistance for the Eight Ball fire, underscoring the severity of the crisis and the necessity for coordinated firefighting efforts. Concurrently, winter weather impacts persist in the Upper Midwest, complicating travel and safety for residents in those regions. As we navigate these pressing issues, it is imperative to remain informed about local conditions and heed official advisories to ensure personal safety and community resilience.Takeaways:* The ongoing wildfire response remains a paramount national concern, particularly in Oklahoma and Texas.* In Oklahoma, the Ranger Road Fire has reached an alarming 283,283 acres with only 15% containment.* Winter weather advisories in the Upper Midwest forecast hazardous travel conditions due to accumulating snow.* California experiences cold conditions prompting freeze warnings, necessitating protective measures for vulnerable entities.Sources[NWS Sacramento | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=CAZ216&lat=39.732&local_place1=Chico+CA&lon=-121.842&product1=Flash+Flood+Watch&warncounty=CAC007&warnzone=CAZ016][Kansas Dept. of Agriculture | https://www.agriculture.ks.gov/Home/Components/News/News/629/17] [Oklahoma OEM | https://oklahoma.gov/oem/news/newsroom/wildfire-situation-update-2---feb-18-2026.html][NWS Duluth | https://www.weather.gov/dlh/][NWS Hazard Info | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=MNZ012&lat=47.796&local_place1=10+Miles+NW+Schroeder+MN&lon=-91.112&product1=Winter+Storm+Warning&warncounty=MNC075&warnzone=MNZ012][Oklahoma OEM | https://oklahoma.gov/oem/news/newsroom/wildfire-situation-update-2---feb-18-2026.html][TDEM | https://www.tdem.texas.gov/press-release/2-19-26] [TDEM Disaster Page | https://tdem.texas.gov/disasters/26-0001-february-wildfires][NWS WWA Text | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mpx&wwa=winter+weather+advisory] This is a public episode.

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a Rapid Readout on energy resilience and recovery after Winter Storm Fern in late January. Many on the East Coast and in the South took weeks to dig out from this storm. Homes and businesses in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee were without electricity for more than a week, leaving residents in life-threatening situations. Building on lessons from past devastating winter storms, such as Winter Storm Uri that impacted Texas in February 2021, this Rapid Readout examined Fern's impacts on power grids and potential resilient solutions to help residents weather future storms.

We get an update on current snow levels in the Sierra and insights from a backcountry skier on this week's deadly avalanche. Also, what challenges do underrepresented athletes face in Winter sports? Finally, this month's Arts Talk.

On this edition of the Energy News Beat Stand Up, we cover some great stories, and at the top of the list is that Coal saved the grid and lives during Winter Storm Fern. But it raises a bigger question: we need to reprice electricity in the United States so wind and solar pay their fair share for grid resilience. We also have to ask the question. Can the "Board of Peace Replace the UN?" I, for one, would like to be 100% out of the UN, says Stu. **1. Coal's Critical Role in Grid Stability**The discussion emphasizes how coal power was essential during Winter Storm Fern, delivering 20 times more electricity than solar and batteries during peak demand. This highlights coal's irreplaceable value as a reliable backup during extreme weather emergencies.**2. U.S. Electricity Market Pricing & Dispatch Issues**The transcript critiques the current system for prioritizing renewable energy based solely on low marginal costs, while ignoring intermittency and backup needs. There's an argument for a more balanced approach that factors in full life-cycle costs and resilience considerations.**3. UN Replacement with a "Board of Peace"**A discussion about potentially replacing the United Nations with a more streamlined alternative organization, citing concerns about the UN's effectiveness and funding costs, with implications for U.S. involvement.**4. California's Energy Crisis**The conversation addresses California's energy challenges attributed to Governor Newsom's policies, and explores potential solutions like the Western Gateway Pipeline project to reduce the state's energy import dependency.**5. U.S. Withdrawal Threat from the International Energy Agency (IEA)**The transcript covers the Secretary of Energy's threat to withdraw from the IEA, criticizing it for prioritizing climate advocacy over energy security and suggesting this could reshape global energy policy.**6. Energy Company Financial Performance**Analysis of earnings, production guidance, and stock performance for major energy companies, including EQT, Liberty Energy, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Kinder Morgan.1.Coal Kept the Grid Alive During Winter Storm Fern2.Can the Board of Peace Fully Replace the UN?3.California's National Security Crisis Has a Solution4.U.S. Threatens to Quit IEA Over Green Energy Advocacy5.EQT Expecting $1B Windfall on Winter Storm Gas Price Rally6.EIA: US Crude Inventories Drawn Down as Demand Increases7.Newsom Cutting Clean Energy Deals with the U.K. Sparks Comments from President TrumpWe are ranked #1 in the US for Energy Podcasts and #4 globally. https://www.millionpodcasts.com/energy-podcasts/Check out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.Check out The Energy News Beat Website: https://energynewsbeat.co/Questions on Investing in Oil: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/invest-in-oil-and-gas/

Guest: Dr. Alexander Gates, Rutgers University - NewarkWeather doesn't just shape our daily plans — sometimes, it shapes the course of history. From floods that altered empires to storms that changed the outcome of wars, extreme weather has quietly (and sometimes violently) rewritten the human story. Today, we're joined by Dr. Alexander Gates, professor at Rutgers University–Newark and author of the upcoming book Wicked Weather. In it, he explores the natural disasters that didn't just make headlines, but changed societies, politics, and the world as we know it. In this episode, we'll talk about the historical storms, droughts, and disasters that left lasting marks on civilization, what those events teach us about risk and resilience, and why understanding the past may be one of our best tools for preparing for the future.Chapters00:00 - Introduction: Weather's historical influence on civilizations00:32 - Dr. Gates' background & inspiration for Wicked Weather01:06 - How natural disasters shape human societies03:29 - The significance of weather-related events like hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes06:37 - Most impactful natural disasters in history07:30 - Volcanoes from 536-540 AD changing the global climate09:24 - The hurricane that helped end the American Revolution11:06 - Human decisions impacting disaster resilience11:40 - Break 111:42 - Building resilience: lessons from historical events13:19 - Climate change's role in intensifying weather extremes16:16 - Lessons from historical weather disasters on modern emergency preparedness17:37 - How different types of disasters prompt societal change20:44 - Responses to weather-related disasters in different countries23:31 - Break 223:33 - The importance of societal response and adaptation28:04 - The science behind storms and the importance of understanding natural causes29:28 - Final reflections: societal resilience and future preparednessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As a new legislative session begins Tuesday, lawmakers will be carrying the weight of an incredibly difficult eight months since they last met.The time off has been marked by the assassination of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, a deadly school shooting and the shooting deaths of two Minnesotans by federal agents during a large-scale immigration operation.The son of the late Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman says her memory will inspire lawmakers to act more kindly toward each other.

Two winter storms shut Greenville down and delayed closings, but the market did not collapse. New listings stayed positive, inventory jumped, and prices climbed again. So did the storms really slow the market, or just pause it? January's numbers tell a more interesting story.As always, if you have any questions or comments (or, of course, need a realtor), feel free to reach out to Stan McCune directly by phone/text at (973) 479-1267 or by email at smccune@cdanjoyner.com

Five years ago, Winter Storm Uri took out the lights across the Lone Star State. Hundreds of people died, millions of Texans were left without heat, and it cost the state billions. What's changed since then? Plus, new payroll numbers are higher than expected, and unemployment is slightly down, but revisions to last year's totals complicate the story. And later, we check out what one of the country's most environmentally friendly homes looks like 18 years later.

Guest: Dr. Younes Alila, University of British ColumbiaFloods are some of the most devastating natural disasters on Earth—washing away homes, reshaping landscapes, and testing the limits of our infrastructure. But what if the way we measure and plan for floods is decades out of date? A new study out of the University of British Columbia led by Dr. Younes Alila reveals that the so-called “100-year flood” may now be striking every 10 years or less across parts of British Columbia. Dr. Alila joins us to unpack how land-use changes, deforestation, and a warming climate are amplifying flood frequency, why natural features like wetlands and forests are key to protection, and what communities can do to adapt.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's the hottest sector in the global energy industry right now, driven by rising power demand, the need to back up variable renewable generation, and escalating threats to grid resilience. It is of course, battery storage. Host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe speak with Julian Nebreda, CEO of energy storage systems company Fluence, about why batteries are becoming essential grid infrastructure. At peak hours during the bitterly cold weather that has covered much of North America in recent weeks, batteries accounted for about 1% of US power supply. But even a relatively small share of battery capacity can play an outsized role in preventing outages, Julian says. He argues that batteries are best understood not as replacements for fossil fuels, but as system optimizers: delivering fast-response capacity, stabilizing grids, and allowing generation assets to run more efficiently. With Amy and Ed, he addresses some of the common myths around batteries' cold-weather performance, multi-peak demand days and reliability compared with traditional generation.The gang explores the next wave of demand growth for batteries, particularly from new data centres for AI. Julian points to “speed to power” as a major new driver for storage deployment, as the hyperscalers and other tech companie try to bring new data centre capacity online as quickly as they can. There discussion also covers the geopolitical significance of storage, the attempt to build a battery supply chain in the US, the strngths of distributed versus centralised system designs, and examples of operations from Texas to Ukraine. As Amy notes, the industry is still catching up to the full potential of storage, but the potential is enormous.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

By creating a centralized reserve for civilian industries, officials hope to cushion companies against sudden shortages and sharp price swings that can disrupt production and strain finances. Shares of MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Critical Metals and other rare earth associated names are higher between 5% and 10% heading into the cash open on Monday on the news. At this point it’s safe to say last week’s Reuters rare earth hit piece (authored most likely at the behest of a disgruntled short), which sent the sector tumbling on disputed claims the Trump administration was seeking to distance itself from the rare earth space by moving away from a price floor on critical metals and suggesting MP’s deal with the government may be in question, has been thoroughly debunked. Even the MP Materials X account was mocking the grotesque misreporting: https://twitter.com/MPMaterials/status/2016734732835573833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Project Vault will be financed through a mix of private and public funding: $1.67 billion is expected to come from private investors, while the US Export-Import Bank is set to provide a $10 billion loan with a 15-year term. The bank's board is scheduled to vote on the deal, which would be the largest in its history. More than a dozen major companies have joined Project Vault, including General Motors, Stellantis, Boeing, Corning, GE Vernova, and Google. Three large trading firms – Hartree Partners, Traxys North America, and Mercuria Energy – will handle sourcing and purchasing materials for the stockpile.    Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/2018319873609290010?s=20 https://twitter.com/StephenMoore/status/2017295983940354307?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2018300872447418573?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); Political/Rights https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/2018249171900227730?s=20 https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/2018147684276748388?s=20 https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/2018146323581513971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2018146323581513971%7Ctwgr%5Ebf8eb4e3fdfcee731660a65a8ed9f8dad15fa004%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F02%2Fnicki-minaj-fires-back-grammys-host-trevor-noah%2F know — yet they continue to attempt bullying.

Image of de-arresting by Minnesota ICE Watch. Minnesota ICE Watch, the organization that Renee Good and her wife were members of, distributed a document known as the “De-Arrest Primer,” which instructs activists on how to physically interfere with law enforcement officers during arrests. The manual provides detailed guidance on pulling detainees from officers' grips, pushing and pulling officers, breaking holds, and opening law enforcement vehicles to free suspects. The manual also teaches the use of coordinated chanting to create confusion and overwhelm officers during active arrests, as well as surrounding officers until they release detainees. The guide openly acknowledges that these actions may constitute criminal offenses but argues that the risk is justified. Each successful interference is described as a “micro-intifada,” framed as a tactic meant to spread, replicate, and inspire wider disruption. The manual claims these methods originated in pro-Palestinian campus protests and presents them as a model for broader resistance activity. While no single formal publisher is identified, the manual appears to originate from broader activist and radical networks that promote direct physical interference with law enforcement. It has circulated widely through Instagram and other activist communication channels and has been used in training individuals described as “constitutional observers” or “ICE watchers.”   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018111147237425556?s=20   https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018114619320017259?s=20   JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Signs “ICE On Notice” Executive Order to Prosecute ICE Agents  Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson at a press conference hosted by Illinois Governor J.B.

TRUMP President Trump to SETTLE $10 BILLION IRS LAWSUIT — Plans to DONATE THE PROCEEDS TO CHARITY President Donald J. Trump is preparing to settle his massive $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department, and he says he will donate the entire payout to reputable charities instead of keeping a penny for himself. President Trump, Eric Trump, Don Jr., and the Trump Org filed a lawsuit against the IRS for leaking their tax returns. They are seeking $10 billion in damages. In September 2023, federal prosecutors charged a former IRS contractor who worked for the agency from 2018 to 2020 with unlawfully obtaining and disseminating the tax details of a high-ranking public official and numerous affluent Americans to media outlets. According to court documents and an official press release from the Department of Justice, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official, referred to as Public Official A  – now known as Donald Trump. He then disclosed this information to a news organization identified as News Organization 1 – now known as The New York Times. Littlejohn reportedly stole IRS information on thousands of wealthy people. The stolen information was then disseminated to two news outlets (New York Times and ProPublica). “In July and August 2020, Littlejohn separately stole tax return information for thousands of the nation's wealthiest individuals. Littlejohn was again able to evade IRS detection. In November 2020, Littlejohn disclosed this tax return information to News Organization 2, which published over 50 articles using the stolen data. Littlejohn then obstructed the forthcoming investigation into his conduct by deleting and destroying evidence of his disclosures,” the DOJ previously said.

Recorded: January 26th 2026 | On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Taylor Lewan welcomes Josh “The Weatherman” Pate for a conversation that somehow blends natural disasters with college football chaos — perfectly on brand. The show opens with Taylor breaking down why it is just him on the show as Will is stuck without power and phone service. Josh joins Taylor to breakdown what exactly made Winter Storm Fern so dangerous and catastrophic. He gets into the science behind freezing rain, why it’s so dangerous, and what it means for cities like Nashville when Mother Nature decides to go nuclear. Once the storms pass, it’s time to talk ball. The boys react to the CFP National Championship and give their biggest takeaways from the title game, including what it means for the future of the power balance in college football. They debate whether Indiana’s run is a flash in the pan or a sign of real staying power, and question if Miami is headed for a tougher road than expected next season. To wrap it up, the crew looks ahead at some of the sport’s biggest brands and their outlooks moving forward. Michigan and Alabama both get the microscope as the boys break down expectations, pressure, and what success looks like next year. As well as what it will look like for Ohio State after they hired Arthur Smith and what that move could mean for the Buckeyes offensively.
