The “Shiller PE Ratio” is at its highest level since November of 1999. That was at the peak of the online gold rush right before the dot com bubble burst in 2000. Today on the show, we learn what the Shiller PE Ratio is, how it works and whether we should be worried that it's relatively high right now.Related episodes: What's a Bubble?Zombie 2nd mortgages are coming to life, threatening thousands of Americans' homesFor sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the Democrats' dominating victories in Virginia and New Jersey, where early returns and strong turnout have analysts like Harry Enten and Dave Wasserman predicting Democrats could be favored to retake the House in 2026. They unpack how the results exposed cracks in the GOP coalition, with MAGA influencers blaming “weak” Republican candidates and moderates pointing to Trump's shutdown chaos and record-low approval rating of -18%. Kander and Gupta also examine how Democratic leaders from Gavin Newsom to Bill Ferguson framed the victories as proof that competence and optimism still win, even as Republicans melted down online over their losses. Plus, they analyze the high-stakes Supreme Court case that could unravel Trump's global tariffs, what it means for the U.S. economy, and how it fits into a broader crisis of Trump's leadership.

Election Day 2025 will go down in history as D-Day for democracy. Terrell Starr joins Andrea to break down what these nationwide victories mean for the future, from the midterms and beyond. It's clear who Americans blame for the government shutdown. The blue tsunami showed up and reshaped the map, literally. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger made history as the state's first woman governor as Democrats swept the governorship, lieutenant governorship, and attorney general, with nearly every county shifting blue. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill became the first Democratic woman to lead the state, with Democrats gaining seats across the legislature. Our people-powered victories weren't a "blue bubble" story as Donald Trump wants you to believe. Democrats flipped two seats in Mississippi, two statewide offices in Georgia, won the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and wiped GOP control off the Bucks County school board. Colorado voted to feed kids, Charlotte funded transit, Maine rejected voter suppression, progressive D.A.s Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Alvin Bragg in Manhattan won re-election, and California overwhelmingly voted for redistricting self-defense against GOP autocracy. More on the redistricting battle in future episodes. And in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, just 34, the city's first Muslim mayor and the youngest since 1982, the first candidate to get over 1 million votes since 1969, delivered a victory speech so electric it could light up Times Square, reminding us that unity and humanity are the real antidotes to greed and fear. The fascists forced a fight, and democracy punched back. This is only the beginning. Thank you to every Gaslit Nation listener who voted, who showed up for your community, for our shared livable future that we will build together, and who kept hope alive on our darkest days. We will overcome with our moral force and defiance. To listen to the full episode, join the Gaslit Nation community. Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Trump and his Administration have, in the last 24 hours, already violated Chief Judge McConnell's emergency temporary restraining order to force Trump to provide billions in SNAP food stamp payments to 42 million Americans no later than Wednesday. As Trump trolls the most underprivileged of Americans (the poor, disabled, Veterans, babies, children, and the elderly) who face starvation, declaring that he will violate the Court's order and not make SNAP payments at all, public interest groups have rushed back to Court to make sure the Court acts and more people don't die on Trump's watch. Michael Popok dissects the new emergency filing, as Federal Judges in 2 states rush to save our most fragile populations.

In addition to Trump's and MAGA's  election night shellacking, Trump had a historically bad week in courtrooms around America.  First Judge McConnell in Rhode Island issued a permanent injunction forcing Trump to fund infrastructure projects in Blue States; then Judge Immergut entered a preliminary injunction to block Trump's use of the National Guard on the streets of Oregon; then Federal Judge Currie ordered the turn over off all grand jury materials about Lindsey Halligan's role in prosecuting Trump's political rivals be turned over to her; then Judge McConnel (again) issued a temporary restraining order to ensure that 42 million Americans don't starve to death and Trump pay out $8 billion in funding asap.  Which brings us to the MAGA Supreme Court Justices looking their collective noses down at Trump's Solicitor General as they consider whether to overturn Trump's signature Tariff scheme.  No wonder Trump chickened out and failed to even show up in Court for the Supreme Court today as he had promised.  All this and so much more on the top rated Legal AF podcast with Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo.

Chris Cuomo breaks down what 2025's off-year elections reveal about America's political realignment — and why he calls it the real war for the country's future. Voters across the country sent a clear message: they're tired of chaos, exhausted by extremes, and demanding something that actually works. In New York City, former Governor Andrew Cuomo lost the mayor's race to Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, a progressive voice from the same populist current that produced AOC and Bernie Sanders. Chris says that upset is part of a broader reckoning inside both parties — between MAGA, the politics of anger and grievance, and MEGA, the growing number of Americans weary of outrage and craving stability. And as both sides look ahead to the 2026 midterms, these results may be a preview of which message will win: rage, or results.

Nearly 16.4 million Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War II, and for millions of survivors, the fighting left many of them physically and mentally broken for life. There was a 25% death rate in Japanese POW camps like Bataan, where starvation and torture were rampant, and fierce battles against suicidal Imperial Japanese forces, like at Iwo Jima, where 6,800 Americans died. Additionally, the psychological toll of witnessing Holocaust atrocities and enduring up to three years away from home intensified the war’s brutality. This is why when they returned home, they had physical and psychological wounds that festered, sometimes for years, sometimes for decades, and sometimes for the rest of their lives. Veterans suffering from recurring nightmares, uncontrollable rages, and social isolation were treated by doctors who had little understanding of PTSD, a term that didn’t enter the DSM until 1984. Returning veterans and their families were forced to double up with their parents or squeeze into overcrowded, substandard shelters as the country wrestled with a housing crisis. Divorce rates doubled, with more than 1 million GIs leaving or being left by their wives by 1950. Alcoholism was rampant, and an entire generation became addicted to smoking. To explore this dark shadow that hung over the WW2 generation, we’re joined by David Nasaw, author of The Wounded Generation: Coming Home After World War II. Those affected include the period’s most influential political and cultural leaders, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Dole, and Henry Kissinger; J. D. Salinger and Kurt Vonnegut; Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Stewart. We look at the ways the horrors of World War 2 shaped their lives, but we also see incredible resilience and those who found ways to move past the horrors of their wartime experiences, and what we can learn from that today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The election results of 2025 are not about candidates but a statement by the American people that they are fed up with the same thing over and over. Whether or not the socialist candidates that won will hold to their promises, the message of the people is clear... Americans are tired of the billionaire class making rules, rigging the system and making it impossible to live. Though is may be hard to see, the vote is very America First. The country is at a tipping point. We either unite beyond political divisions or the elites will win.  #BardsFM #Election2025 #MoralBankruptcy Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com BardsFM CAP, Celebrating 50 Million Downloads: https://ambitiousfaith.net Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

If you're starting now (or starting over), we have four real estate investing strategies that still work in 2025 (and most likely will in 2026) for beginner-friendly budgets and solid returns. Tony Robinson, host of the Real Estate Rookie podcast, has heard from hundreds of beginner investors and helped many of them grow and scale.

So, are you ready to invest? In This Episode We Cover Four beginner-friendly real estate investing strategies that work in 2025 The fastest path to financial freedom that average Americans can take advantage of  How “co-living” could replace your job with high cash flow from regular rentals  An Airbnb rebound?

This week, Scott sat down with co-hosts emeritus Benjamin Wittes and Alan Rozenshtein, and Senior Editor Kate Klonick, to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“Cracks in the Foundation.” The conservative Heritage Foundation—and the broader conservative movement it plays a central role in—has been going through a very public crisis over the past week after its president, Kevin Roberts, came to the defense of right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson after Carlson chose to host white nationalist Nick Fuentes on his podcast. This has led to resignations at the Heritage Foundation, condemnation by certain figures on the right, and a pseudo apology by Roberts. It has also led to a little bit of a reckoning over how some on the right, and to some extent Americans more broadly, have dealt with accusations of anti-Semitism, its relationship to various policy questions, as well as hate speech and other political perspectives. What should we be making of this crisis and what does it tell us about the different policy aspects that intersect with this question of anti-Semitism?“Turning Back the Clock.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promised that President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping would “consummate” a TikTok deal at their face-to-face last week. But no details have emerged to date. What should we make of this apparent hold-up—and of the TikTok saga altogether? “A Foe By Any Other Name.” As the Trump administration has continued its military campaign against narcotics traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, U.S. officials have continued to draw parallels between current policies and the Global War on Terrorism, calling detainees “unlawful enemy combatants” and the groups being targeted “designated terrorist organizations.” “If you are a narco-terrorist…,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently tweeted in relation to one of the strikes, “we will treat you like we treat Al-Qaeda.” But how accurate are these parallels, and why is the Trump administration deploying them in this way?In object lessons, Ben brings you a little announcement that is shorter than this sentence—you're just going to have to listen to find out. Alan, hungry for more genre fiction, is diving into The Divine Cities trilogy, starting with “City of Stairs,” by Robert Jackson Bennett. Scott is going out of this world with what he calls “the nerdiest object lesson” he's ever brought to RatSec: Pioneer, a tabletop role-playing game that has “launched” on Kickstarter. And Kate, not to be outdone in nerdom, displays maybe the mathiest vegetable: the beautiful romanesco.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

A new survey finds that moderately religious Americans are the most likely to say that they see dead people. Which raises a question—why are the non-religious and the very religious less likely to report encounters with the departed? New York Times columnist Ezra Klein says that by over-emphasizing inclusivity, the Democratic Party has ironically become less inclusive. And Ryan Burge looks at the numbers behind the party's growing "God problem." Will the Democrats ever figure out how to compete against MAGA? New Testament scholar N.T. Wright is back to discuss his latest book, "The Vision of Ephesians." He tells Skye that the modern church has overemphasized the gospel importance of going to heaven and underemphasized the gospel importance of church unity.

In this episode Jimmy seeks to dispel misinformation about he SNAP program, which provides food assistance to low income Americans. He points out that nearly one-third of Americans are low-income and two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled individuals.  He also points out that the U.S., despite being the richest nation in history, prioritizes foreign spending—such as aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Argentina—over feeding its own citizens. This, he says, is evidence of a declining empire manipulated by billionaire and corporate interests that have captured both major political parties. He concludes that the growing wealth gap, rising inflation, and political distraction over culture wars reflect a system that serves elites while ordinary Americans struggle to survive. Plus segments on the surprising outcome of Trump's tariff trade war with China and FBI head Kash Patel's reaction to being caught using a government jet to attend a pro wrestling event with his girlfriend.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Democrats' sweeping election victories, Trump's call to end the Senate filibuster, the possibility of an end to the historic government shutdown, cartel violence in Mexico, and Trump's warning about nuclear weapons testing. Democrats Sweep Elections Nationwide: It was a strong night for Democrats across the country. In Virginia, they won the governor's mansion, attorney general, and 13 new House seats — a political "bloodbath," as local analysts called it. Former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger became governor, while Jay Jones — who once joked about killing a Republican lawmaker and his children — was elected attorney general. Bryan warns these results reveal a growing radicalism within the Left that Americans can't afford to ignore. New York City Elects Its First Socialist Mayor: Zohran Mamdani won handily with foreign-born voters and young progressives, promising free housing, gun bans, and state control over industries. Bryan compares his victory to a "virus of humanity" spreading nationwide, warning that socialism's false promise of "free for all" could gain traction if Republicans fail to deliver economic results. Trump Pushes to End the Filibuster: President Trump renewed his call to eliminate the Senate filibuster after the Democratic sweep, urging Republicans to "terminate it" to pass voter reform and economic bills. Bryan argues that fears of Democrats abusing power later are misplaced — "that horse has already left the barn." Shutdown Nearing Resolution: Ten Democrat senators are now willing to negotiate a deal to reopen the government, marking the longest shutdown in U.S. history. A short-term plan could fund the military while delaying fights over Obamacare subsidies until December. Mexico's Cartel War and Trump's Dilemma: After the murder of Michoacán's mayor by the Jalisco cartel, Trump is weighing covert CIA and special forces operations inside Mexico. Bryan says the President is torn between patience and decisive action — and both paths carry enormous risk. Nuclear Testing and Rising Tensions: The U.S. will restart nuclear weapons testing for the first time since the 1990s, citing proof that Russia and China are secretly conducting their own tests. Bryan explains how new nuclear-powered cruise missiles and underwater drones are reshaping the global threat landscape.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: 2025 election results Democrats sweep, Abigail Spanberger governor Virginia, Jay Jones attorney general threat scandal, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor, Trump filibuster termination call, U.S. government shutdown negotiations, Michoacán mayor cartel murder, Trump CIA operations Mexico, U.S. nuclear testing restart, Russia China cruise missile Poseidon drone

This is the post-NYC episode you have been waiting for! First, we catch up on Colt's race on Saturday at the CO state meet where somehow Kara dropped the ball and missed seeing him mid-race. Fortunately, he and his team still ran well, but Des coaches Kara up on how she can be a better specator next year ;). We also get an update on Des's knee and whether or not she will be racing the 50-miler this weekend after running 26.2 in NYC. Then, it's all about New York where Des and Kara mix together Des's run with Anthony Ramos (to an impressive 4:44) with the excitement in the elite races, especially on the women's side. Did Des really experience what it's like to run with the masses in the main field, or is she still a little bit elitist?! How are her legs feeling after 26.2 miles in what might have been her longest run ever by time on her feet? How about that exciting women's race where so many Americans were in the mix and then Obiri, Lokedi, and Chepkirui fended off the challenges from Hassan who just wouldn't go away?! Plus, what about the men's near-photo finish and amazing races for all of the top Americans? What a day in NYC which never disappoints! Special thanks to new sponsor Celcius for sponsoring this episode's top 5 to close the episode. Yes, Celcius is an energy drink but did you know they have electrolyte-based hydration powders with no caffeine as well? Kara and Des are both fans so check them out!

Former Vice President and political mover-and-shaker, Dick Cheney, died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease yesterday. He passed in peace, surrounded by his family, who lauded him as a “good man” and a “noble giant.” In reality, Cheney's legacy will far outlive him as the man responsible for manufactured wars that have killed, injured, and displaced millions of innocent people abroad, and who worked diligently to take away freedoms from Americans and lay the groundwork for fascist authoritarianism in the U.S. The bottom line is that Cheney was a dangerous war-mongering lunatic. He was a sociopath who teamed up with other sociopaths to establish the Neocon Deep State. Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

Six years of nonstop death jabs and the American people finally see the blood on Big Pharma's hands 56% now scream it was mass slaughter while embalmer freeways of white fibrous clots clog the veins of the poisoned, as confirmed by Thomas Haviland's global embalmer surveys. The same demonic architects of Operation Warp Speed and Cuomo's death camp nursing homes still walk free, but the reckoning is here and these genocidal butchers will swing for their crimes against humanity. The American Dream is a rotting corpse, gutted by the same Jewish financial cabal that's owned this country since 1913. Michelle McKee lived it, lost it, and now she's naming the enemy because every road of misery leads straight to the synagogue of Satan. The fake Gaza ceasefire is a total scam cooked up by Kushner and his Zionist daddy in law to green light Israel's endless land theft and Palestinian slaughter. Trump cashed Adelson's $200 million blood money to sell out America for Greater Israel! We're ruled by a Talmudic crime syndicate that hates you, owns your government, and is engineering your family's extinction. Western civilization has been infected by a parasitic invasion of foreign ideals and values that have been introduced into our culture by strange and morally degenerate people whose goal is world domination. We have been OCCUPIED.

In this special episode of American Thought Leaders, I visited the Food Independence Summit, an annual event dedicated to homesteading, sustainable living, and reclaiming food autonomy, in Walnut Creek, Ohio. The 2025 summit, with a theme of “Seed to Spoon,” took place in mid-June earlier this year in the heart of Ohio's Amish country.Homesteaders, farmers, gardeners, educators, and healthy food advocates spent two days together participating in hands-on workshops, listening to keynote presentations, and networking with like-minded people.For many Americans, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of supply chains, including the food supply chain. The summit's focus was on learning how to grow, preserve, and prepare homegrown food.While at the summit, I spoke with organizer John Miller to learn about the philosophy behind this growing homesteading and self-sufficiency movement. I also spoke with renowned farmer Joel Salatin about what new trends he's seeing.I even got some hands-on practice pressure-canning beef tacos with the help of Sarah Thrush, a canning expert and social media influencer.“There's a lot of reasons people can, but one of them is so they can decide what goes in the jar, like if you have health concerns, or if you want to know what your food is sourced from, or you just like your chili recipe and you want it in bulk,” Thrush said. “It's like the ultimate meal prep.”I also spoke to physician Julian Douwes, who flew to Ohio all the way from Germany. Dr. Douwes is the director at Clinicum St. Georg in Bad Aibling, Germany, where they developed the first known cure for Lyme disease. Many people in the Ohio Amish community suffer from Lyme disease. Miller himself was cured from an awful case of the disease through this therapy, called whole-body hyperthermia.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with journalist and author Jacob Ward to expose how Big Tech, AI, and persuasive technology are quietly reprogramming the way Americans think and act. Drawing from his book The Loop: How Technology Is Creating a World Without Choices and How to Fight Back, Ward reveals how algorithms exploit human psychology, manipulate information flow, and threaten the foundation of democracy. This powerful discussion breaks down how elites use digital tools to control perception, limit free thought, and shape the political narrative in ways most people never realize. Episode Highlights: How Big Tech and AI manipulate behavior and influence public opinion The hidden alliance between government, media, and tech that controls the flow of information What every American can do to reclaim free thought and resist digital manipulation

Zohran Mamdani's victory in the Nov. 4 election not only makes him the leader of the Big Apple; It also turns him, for better or worse, into one of the most high-profile Democrats in the country.New York mayors always command national attention because of their role running America's biggest city. Mamdani won't take office until January. But for months, his face has been splashed across Americans' television screens and news feeds. He's the mayor-elect of New York. Will he also be America's mayor? USA TODAY National Correspondent Michael Collins joins The Excerpt to explain.Have feedback on the show? Please send us an email at podcasts@usatoday.com.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – That's right, Washington, D.C., has used embezzled funds to bribe Americans into dependency on their ill-gotten gains. It's not just federal fiscal malfeasance that's the problem. Obamacare's promise of more affordable healthcare has proven false, and more evidence is coming to light about fraud in the system.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – A growing majority of Americans believe higher education is heading in the wrong direction. Rising tuition costs, limited free speech, and lack of transparency fuel public frustration. With new federal proposals challenging universities to improve affordability and openness, the debate over academic freedom and institutional accountability intensifies across the nation's campuses...

The media wants you to believe last night’s election results were some kind of setback for President Trump and the Republican Party. But that’s just another lie from the left-wing echo chamber. The truth is, these results exposed exactly what the Democrat Party has become — the party of socialists, communists, and radicals who are completely out of touch with real Americans. Grant explains why Winsome Sears lost in Virginia and why Mamdani won in New York. The assessment doesn't bode well for Democrats. Grant Stinchfield breaks down the numbers, the messaging, and the media spin — showing how the results actually reveal a growing embrace of a far-left agenda. But that embrace is NOT happening everywhere. From open borders to anti-police policies, voters are waking up to the reality that Democrats no longer stand for anything, much less, the working man. This isn’t a loss for America First — it’s proof the socialist machine has hijacked the Democrat Party. https://GrantLovesGold.com Https://Get20Now.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has left millions of Americans uncertain about their next meal. President Donald Trump's administration announced it will provide only partial Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits—about 50% of the usual amount—after a federal judge ordered emergency funding. Meanwhile, polls show Trump's approval rating dropping sharply amid growing frustration with the administration's response to the crisis. Independent media has never been more important.

Carnivorous diets have been woven into our history for millennia, but, with nutrition science advancing at an unprecedented pace over the past century... do we really still need to be eating meat? We live in a time of rising chronic disease, new longevity research, and a growing awareness of how our food choices shape our brain and our planet. We're also constantly exposed to 'nutrition tribalism': social media communicators and influencers building identities (and livelihoods) around polarizing dietary debates. It's a lot to navigate. So, we're cutting straight to the data in this episode. Plus: we're pulling on the work and research we've done in many different communities to explore how going plant-based can be as much a cultural or logistical hurdle as a health-driven or ethics-based choice. In this episode, we discuss: Whether protein deficiency is a realistic concern Protein myths: plant vs. animal What the actual protein science says (and why most Americans already get more than enough) The role of saturated fat, fiber, and the microbiome Processed vs. unprocessed meat — what matters most How identity, culture, and family can make going plant-based challenging How cooking method changes risk (yes, barbecue lovers… we go there) Meat alternatives: healthful option or "ultra-processed trap"? Practical, non-judgmental guidance for plant-forward or omnivorous eaters  To give this divisive matter the nuance it deserves, we welcome three of the most authoritative voices in this space: DR. CHRISTOPHER GARDNER: the Stanford nutrition scientist behind landmark diet trials (including DIETFITS). DR. ADRIAN CHAVEZ: a nutrition researcher, educator, and consultant, who previously joined us for 'Your Brain On... Supplements'. DR. MATTHEW NAGRA: a nutritionist and science communicator, who you might remember from 'Your Brain On... Protein'. This is... Your Brain On Eating Meat. SUPPORTED BY: the 2026 NEURO World Retreat.

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah Regan and professor emeritus of art Sam Knecht discuss the unique character of American landscape paintings. Great artists perceive something that is difficult to capture and portray it with a beauty that makes it easier for us to grasp. These American paintings present the American character and make us proud to be Americans. This course explores inspiring portraits of statesmen, cherished images of common citizens, breathtaking landscapes of the American countryside, the hidden beauty of America’s city streets, and harrowing but fortifying glimpses of battle. American art is characterized by honesty. These artists attempt to balance a faithful replica of reality with a depiction of the ideal we seek. The color, light, and movement captured in brushstrokes on canvas provide a unique glimpse of the American character. America’s sprawling countryside, majestic waterfalls, and soaring mountains inspire our artists to capture the freedom that suffuses the very air. Bustling cities, meanwhile, are fertile settings for presenting the beauty of everyday life.

Tara and Lee deliver a fiery breakdown of what they call “conquered territory” — New York's transformation into what they describe as *post-American soil* under socialist influence. They unpack Zohran Mamdani's stunning victory, Bill Maher's warning to Democrats, and the deepening divide within the party as key figures like Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama tread lightly around the new socialist wing. The hosts explore how Trump's absence from the ballot reveals an alarming GOP enthusiasm gap, and what that means heading into the midterms. From voter demographics to economic fallout and ideological clashes, this episode charts a new phase of political realignment in America's biggest city. When America's cities fall to socialism, what happens to the rest of the map? Zohran Mamdani, New York politics, socialism, post-American territory, Bill Maher, GOP turnout, voter trends, Trump effect, Democrat strategy, political analysis, election fallout, national divide, political polarization, American future In one of the most charged episodes yet, Tara and Lee call New York “conquered territory” — a city lost to socialism after Zohran Mamdani's unapologetic victory speech quoting Eugene Debs. They discuss the ripple effects of this ideological shift: Bill Maher's stark warning to Democrats, economic fears of mass flight from the city, and polls suggesting residents are preparing to leave. The conversation expands to national implications — Virginia, New Jersey, and beyond — where GOP expectations were crushed despite economic frustration. Tara highlights how Republican turnout collapses when Trump isn't on the ballot, while Democrats remain energized by identity and ideology. The hosts also warn of a deeper cultural shift: young Americans torn between supporting Trump and flirting with socialism, creating a volatile new voter landscape. Ultimately, the episode closes with a sobering question — once a state or city becomes “post-American,” can it ever be won back?

Tara breaks down the current state of U.S. politics as midterms approach, highlighting why Republicans may face significant challenges despite Trump's efforts. From inflation, high federal spending, and stalled domestic job growth to the impacts of foreign visa programs, this episode explores why Americans aren't feeling the economic improvements promised. Tara also examines the structural obstacles in Congress, including allegedly fraudulent census seats and gerrymandered districts, that limit the ability to implement meaningful change. *Why the economy, jobs, and political strategy will decide the fate of the midterms.* Midterms, Republican strategy, Trump administration, Federal spending, Inflation, Jobs, Visa programs, Census fraud, Gerrymandering, Congress, Economic policy, Political obstacles, Election strategy, Energy prices, Continuing resolutions In this episode, Tara analyzes why the midterm elections could be a tough battle for Republicans despite Trump's ongoing efforts. She addresses Americans' frustration over high inflation, rising costs of living, and the lack of job growth, highlighting the impact of foreign visa programs that bring in skilled and unskilled labor amid limited domestic jobs. Tara also examines structural political challenges, including allegedly stolen congressional seats, gerrymandered districts, and federal spending that restricts economic reform. She argues that Trump's only path forward is to pursue a fraud-free census and redistricting before the midterms to secure the ability to enact meaningful policy changes and control inflation. The episode underscores that while Republicans hold a slight advantage, the fight for political and economic control is far from over.

 Friendship, Laughter & Rapid-Fire Revelations! Episode Description Ever wondered what you'd do if a runaway monkey showed up in your front yard?

When government funding delays threatened to halt SNAP benefits for millions of families, The Produce Moms Podcast turned its platform into a source of support and awareness. In this heartfelt and timely episode, host Lori Taylor speaks with Jack Griffin, the inspiring founder of Food Finder, about how his organization connects food-insecure Americans to essential resources.

David McKnight focuses on three of the biggest names in personal finance – Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, and Ken Fisher – and why you should be careful with following their advice. David emphasizes that anyone trying to wring the most efficiency out of their retirement savings should focus on advice that's backed by math… not soundbites. While David Ramsey is the right person for people who are making less than they are spending, the same can't be said for his retirement planning advice. For instance, he claims that 100% of cash value life insurance sucks 100% of the time.  For David, whenever someone gives you advice that claims it should be applied 100% of the time, you should run the other way! Remember: there's no financial strategy that works for everyone all the time. According to an Ernst & Young study, by contributing 30% of your retirement savings to an IUL, you'll dramatically increase your income in retirement over a stock market investing alone.  Citing E&Y, David explains an approach that shields you from the sequence of returns risk and that has a 95% chance of your money lasting as long as you do. David points out that most Americans don't have thousands of dollars lying around in savings accounts just to pay the taxes on a Roth conversion… David sees Dave Ramsey as someone who gives basic advice for people with basic problems and whose advice could potentially be catastrophic if you want to shield your retirement from higher taxes. When it comes to Suze Orman, David looks at her recent advice of keeping 3-5 years worth of living expenses in an emergency fund in retirement. While Orman is trying to safeguard against sequence of returns risk, she seems to be forgetting about inflation eating away at your purchasing power. As David shares his dislike of Orman's advice, he touches upon a resource that can double your sustainable withdrawal rate from 4 to as high as 8%. Ken Fisher, on the other hand, has become the face of the "anti-annuity crusade". The problem with Fisher's approach? He's primarily referring to variable annuities, completely disregarding fixed indexed annuities (which are a totally different animal). David discusses how replacing bonds with fixed annuities "can increase your returns, lower your risks, and give you a better outcome over time." Beware of financial gurus saying "I hate annuities", "100% of life insurance sucks 100% of the time", or "never pay taxes from your IRA"! In his latest book The Guru Gap, David takes a deep dive into the flawed logic of financial gurus, and gives the full story with the math, the context, and the strategies they conveniently leave out in their content and speeches.     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Dave Ramsey Suze Orman Ken Fisher Ernst & Young
