Claim Sharks, Honeypots & Heroes: Spies, Scams and a Sound Barrier Legend 🚨✈️
Episode 274
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
Tonight on Late For Changeover, we move from courtroom crackdowns to covert tradecraft… and tip our cover to legends who lived louder than jet engines. (06:25) California just dropped the hammer on predatory “claim shark” companies circling veterans like vultures with clipboards, passing a law that severely limits who can charge for helping vets file VA disability claims. The message is clear: if you’re profiting off those who already paid in blood and time, the state is coming with receipts and handcuffs. 🧾⚖️ (27:30) Meanwhile, the Army is warning troops about modern-day honeypots. The “Are you a spy?” alert isn’t paranoia, it’s pattern recognition. Foreign intelligence services are sliding into DMs, building digital romances, and fishing for secrets with the patience of a sniper in tall grass. In 2026, the battlefield sometimes starts with a friend request. 📱🕵️♀️ (38:40) We also pause to honor Robert Duvall, the legendary actor, Army veteran, and Navy brat who brought quiet intensity to the screen for decades. From stoic officers to complex antiheroes, Duvall carried himself like a man who understood command presence long before Hollywood handed him a script. At 95, he leaves behind a body of work that feels carved from oak and gunpowder. (47:16) Then we dive into the real-deal spies of history. Sarah Emma Edmonds disguised herself as a man to fight for the Union during the Civil War, later slipping behind enemy lines in multiple personas. Nurse. Soldier. Spy. She treated identity like a uniform you could swap at will, decades before intelligence agencies formalized the craft. (58:39) And in the jet age, Jacqueline Cochran didn’t just shatter glass ceilings, she vaporized them at Mach 1. As the first woman to break the sound barrier, Cochran proved that gravity and doubt are both negotiable. Her career stitched together aviation, wartime service, and record-breaking speed in a way that still hums like a turbine. https://lateforchangeover.com/
