https://www.westpointtb.com/team/terry-finley/

Terry and his wife Debbie Finley established West Point Thoroughbreds in 1991. Terry, a former U.S. Army officer whose passion developed a passion for racing at a young age. His vision was to create a way for racing enthusiasts to enjoy the ownership experience without the enormous financial burden that typically comes with it. Since our first stakes winner, we've been committed to delivering unforgettable experiences to our partners both on and off the track. Over the years, we've had the privilege of racing some of the finest horses in the sport, including Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming, Grade 1 champion Flightline, and Eclipse Award nominees. We've celebrated victories in some of the sport's most prestigious races, from the Breeders' Cup to international events. But at the heart of our operation is the belief that every horse we race carries the hopes and dreams of our partners.

From West Point to the Winner's Circle: Terry Finley on Horses, Leadership, and Racing's Future

Summary

A Friendship Forged at the Racetrack
The episode opens with the program theme, sponsor recognition for Tony's Steak and Seafood, and appeals for Old Friends Equine and No Fallen Heroes. The host then welcomes Terry Finley, recalling that their friendship began when Finley complimented his shoes at Del Mar. Their lighthearted exchange establishes a personal tone before the discussion turns to Finley's background, career, and long involvement in Thoroughbred racing.

From Levittown to West Point
Finley describes growing up as the youngest of seven children outside Philadelphia, where his schoolteacher father introduced him to racing at Keystone and Liberty Bell. As a young person, he walked hots, rubbed horses, traveled with them, and became captivated by the racetrack. He later entered West Point after being inspired by an older football player who attended the Naval Academy, graduated in 1986, served in the Army, and maintained his connection to racing even while stationed in Germany and later at Fort Dix.

Building West Point Thoroughbreds
After leaving military service, Finley chose horse racing over a conventional corporate path and credits his wife, Debbie, for supporting the risk. He explains how an early partnership involving his father and brother showed him the excitement that shared ownership could create. Beginning with one horse at Philadelphia Park, he used small advertisements in BloodHorse and became an early adopter of the World Wide Web, eventually using technology to communicate directly with partners and update horse information.

The Human Side of Horse Racing
The conversation examines the many people whose work affects a racehorse, including trainers, jockeys, exercise riders, grooms, owners, and other barn personnel. Finley and the host emphasize that horses have distinct personalities and communicate in different ways, making judgment, feel, and experience essential. Stories involving Pat Day, Alysheba, Randy Romero, and other racing figures illustrate how trust between horse and rider can influence performance and how owners should give professionals room to make informed decisions.

Leadership, Loyalty, and the Long View
Finley argues that owners receive better results when they support trainers privately and publicly rather than constantly second-guessing them. Both speakers connect this philosophy to lessons learned from military service, family relationships, and business leadership. They describe effective leadership as listening, clearing obstacles, encouraging people to think creatively, and maintaining loyalty while still addressing performance problems when necessary.

An Evolution for Racing's Future
Looking ahead, Finley discusses the pressures facing horse racing and calls for evolution rather than revolution. He urges industry participants to move beyond personal attacks, collaborate respectfully, support aftercare and backstretch workers, welcome younger voices, and build both the fan base and wagering base. The discussion closes by considering lessons from Formula 1 and the PGA, particularly their use of media, events, sponsorship, and fan engagement, before the host directs listeners to West Point Thoroughbreds and again highlights the episode's sponsor and charities.

Ep218, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 116, Two Kingdoms, One Choice: Spiritual Power, Endurance, and the Kingdom of Heaven

Six-Paragraph Summary

Prayer for God’s Power to Work Through Human Lives

Tony Alamo opens by asking God to speak through him and to pour the Holy Spirit upon listeners. He teaches that Christ lived as a human being led by the Spirit and that believers must die to their former ways, remain humble, and allow God to continue His work through human bodies. The prayer emphasizes salvation through preaching, spiritual power, resurrection, and the restoration of God’s kingdom.

Reports of Evangelism in Kenya, Mexico, and India

A female reader shares letters describing the distribution of ministry literature and Bibles. A correspondent in Kenya reports counseling work, baptisms, radio listening sessions, and large numbers of people responding to the message. Letters from Mexico and India request additional materials and describe readers becoming interested in Christ, asking questions, confessing sins, and joining local churches.

Christ’s Blood, Sacrifice, and Resurrection

The teaching section begins with Jesus’ exchange with Pontius Pilate. Alamo argues that Christ entered the world specifically to die, shed genuine human blood, and fulfill the symbolism of Old Testament sacrifices. He describes the blood of sacrificial animals, Jesus’ pierced body, the appearance to Thomas, and the resurrection as evidence for his understanding of atonement and salvation.

The Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness

Alamo presents the world as divided between two spiritual kingdoms: the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of darkness. He teaches that every person must choose one master and that continued deliberate sin demonstrates allegiance to darkness rather than Christ. He rejects teachings that salvation automatically covers all future sin and argues that believers must continue in obedience, discipline, and spiritual light.

Endurance, Testing, and the Narrow Way

The sermon repeatedly describes hardship as a test of faith. Alamo compares spiritual testing with evaluating horses, cars, and physical strength, saying that believers must study Scripture, put on the mind and armor of Christ, and endure pressure without abandoning faith. He warns against reincarnation teachings and insists that each person has one life, followed by judgment.

“My Kingdom Is Not of This World”

The final section returns to Jesus’ statement that His kingdom is not of this world. Alamo contrasts earthly political and religious systems with the future kingdom of heaven and says that believers should not sell their souls for temporary worldly benefits. He closes with a salvation prayer, invites listeners to become citizens of heaven, and gives instructions for obtaining program 218.

S11E138, FBI Begins Investigation Into The Sudden Death Of Senator Lindsey Graham

FBI begins investigation into the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham. Dems have massive meltdown over death of illegal immigrant by ICE. Feds target New York Times journalists over Air Force One security leak.

Death, Deportation, and Disclosure: Law Enforcement Debates Power, Politics, and Public Trust

A Reported Political Death and Questions of Public Confidence

The program opens with a report that Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly following recent international travel and that the FBI assisted local authorities. Chip DeBlock reviews the reported timeline, health concerns, foreign-policy activity, and alleged autopsy finding, while Dr. Joel Shults argues that an investigation would be appropriate whenever a high-profile political figure dies unexpectedly. Both speakers acknowledge that hidden medical conditions can cause sudden death while also discussing the public desire for credible answers.

Speculation, History, and the Limits of Certainty

Shults compares the reported event with other unexpected deaths involving prominent public figures and reflects on the historic use of assassination as a political tool. He makes clear that he is raising general concerns rather than presenting evidence of foul play. The discussion also touches on political realignment, the senator’s changing relationship with President Trump, and the broader reality that death can arrive without warning.

An ICE Shooting and Competing Public Narratives

The next story concerns an ICE operation in the Houston area in which the program reports that a driver rammed a federal vehicle and attempted to strike an officer before being shot. DeBlock criticizes politicians and public officials who, in his view, omitted key allegations about the vehicle being used as a weapon. Shults cautions that final judgment should wait for the evidence while explaining that officers must be evaluated according to what they reasonably perceived at the moment force was used.

Body Cameras, Media Framing, and Accountability

The panel discusses the absence of body-camera footage and the political conflict surrounding federal funding and deployment. Shults argues that public officials often reach conclusions before investigations are complete and that corrections rarely receive the same attention as initial accusations. Both speakers emphasize the difficulty officers face when public narratives harden before video, witness statements, and investigative findings are available.

Pardons, Deportation, and the Cost of Public Safety

The program then examines a reported Minnesota pardon involving a Laotian national convicted of a sexual offense against a child and later subject to federal removal proceedings. DeBlock and Shults debate the distinction between a pardon and a commutation, the moral implications of erasing or reducing punishment, the long delay in immigration enforcement, and whether serious offenders should remain incarcerated rather than be deported. Shults frames imprisonment as an investment in preventing future victims when an offender is considered likely to reoffend.

Press Freedom and Alleged Air Force One Security Leaks

The final major topic concerns subpoenas reportedly issued to journalists after publication of alleged vulnerabilities involving Air Force One. The speakers recognize the constitutional importance of a free press but question whether national-security information should be published when it could endanger the president or expose defensive capabilities. Their discussion explores anonymous sources, confidential informants, grand-jury secrecy, journalistic motives, legal accountability, and the unresolved boundary between public interest and operational security.

Invisible Connections: Finding Meaning, Healing, and the Souls We Overlook

Seeing the People Society Overlooks
The episode explores the human need for connection, meaning, acceptance, and purpose through literature, film, spirituality, and everyday experience. Dr. Hauck draws on Carson McCullers, Forrest Gump, A Love Song for Bobby Long, and Past Lives to consider people who move quietly through the world while carrying unseen struggles. He encourages listeners to notice those who are marginalized, isolated, or treated as invisible.

Stigma, Exclusion, and Disenfranchisement
A substantial portion of the discussion examines how societies have stigmatized people because of disease, mental illness, emotional suffering, social status, or other characteristics considered unacceptable. The host describes historical practices of separation, branding, quarantine, and exclusion, while emphasizing the emotional and social wounds created when a person is reduced from a whole individual to a discredited identity.

Chance Encounters and Meaningful Connection
The host questions whether apparently accidental encounters may contain deeper meaning. He describes ordinary moments in stores, crowds, and public places as possible opportunities to recognize another person’s need for attention, compassion, or conversation. The Korean concept of inyeon is presented as a way of imagining connections between people that may extend beyond a single meeting or lifetime.

Lessons from the Produce Aisle
Dr. Hauck shares a personal story about repeatedly meeting strangers in grocery-store produce sections who unexpectedly disclosed painful experiences. What initially felt like an interruption became a spiritual lesson about presence, safety, and intentional listening. He explains that this changed the way he approached errands, leading him to ask whom he might need to see, hear, or support that day.

Wounds, Energy, and Relationships
The episode connects unresolved wounds with the ways people interpret and respond to relationships. Bitterness, betrayal, distrust, shame, and unforgiveness are described as inner conditions that can shape how a person sees others and can echo through families and social systems. Healing, forgiveness, gratitude, and compassion are presented as ways to transform those patterns and recognize shared dignity beyond race, class, creed, culture, or stigma.

Inner Riches and the Freedom to Let Go
The closing story, attributed to Anthony de Mello, concerns a wandering sannyasi who freely gives away an enormous diamond. The villager eventually returns it and asks for the inner wealth that made such generosity possible. Dr. Hauck uses the story to conclude that lasting freedom does not come from possessing external treasures, but from healing within, releasing former burdens, and embodying grace, love, and a deeper awareness of connection.
