In this broadcast of The Charlie James Show on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, host Charlie James opens by addressing a dramatic, thwarted hijacking attempt on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. He criticizes mainstream media coverage for downplaying the severe incident, in which a co-pilot allegedly attacked and stabbed the Indian pilot. The wounded pilot managed to unlock the cockpit door, allowing passengers—including a secondary "deadhead" flight crew on board—to storm the cockpit, overpower the attacker, and safely land the plane in Saudi Arabia despite a severed rudder. James argues this was not a simple disturbance, but an Iranian-backed terror attack aimed at killing over 170 Israeli passengers. Shifting focus to international national security, James discusses a recently disrupted terrorist threat near RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom, where police uncovered suspects with containers of petrol near the military base. Expressing frustration over the suspects being released on bail, James links this incident—and the broader threat environment—directly to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He highlights a 25-page propaganda letter recently issued by the IRGC to the American public, framing it as an attempt to divide U.S. voters and influence the upcoming midterm elections. Finally, James turns to economic issues, pointing out positive indicators such as cooling inflation (measured by the core PCE index), robust private job creation numbers from ADP, and upward revisions to GDP. He argues that mainstream media gatekeeping prevents the public from appreciating these economic achievements under President Trump, while callers chime in to debate the persistent impact of gas and food prices on everyday households.

In this episode, Michael Blank demonstrates how to turn a repeatable real estate investing process into an AI-powered workflow that can analyze apartment deals in seconds instead of spending hours manually reviewing marketing packages. Using his 10-Minute Offer methodology, Michael walks through how to create an AI agent that can read an offering memorandum, identify missing information, apply the appropriate underwriting assumptions, calculate an informal offer, and even draft an email to the broker explaining the offer. He then takes the process one step further by showing how the same AI skill can be brought directly into Excel using Claude for Excel, allowing investors to upload new OMs and automatically populate an underwriting spreadsheet. The episode provides a practical blueprint for identifying repetitive tasks, turning proven SOPs into AI agents, and using those agents to make deal analysis faster, more consistent, and more scalable.Key TakeawaysTurn Your Proven Process Into an AI AgentIf you have a repeatable SOP for analyzing deals, AI can turn that process into an agent that performs the work consistently instead of requiring you to start from scratch every time.The 10-Minute Offer Can Be Applied in SecondsMichael demonstrates how an AI agent can take the information from an OM or marketing package, apply the 10-Minute Offer methodology, perform the calculations, and produce an informal offer.Always Make AI Show Its SourcesMichael emphasizes the importance of asking AI where its information came from and checking the underlying sources rather than blindly trusting its output.Missing Information Should Be Flagged—Not InventedWhen an OM is missing critical numbers, the agent can be instructed to flag the missing information and ask the investor rather than simply making assumptions without permission.Claude for Excel Brings AI Directly Into Your UnderwritingMichael demonstrates how the same skill can be accessed inside Excel, allowing investors to upload an OM and have the agent populate an underwriting spreadsheet and generate a corresponding broker email.Look for Repetitive Work You Can AutomateThe broader lesson is to identify tasks you perform repeatedly, document the process as an SOP, and experiment with turning that process into an AI-powered workflow or agent.Connect with our Deal Maker PartnersCheck out all Partners hereAttorney - Swafford Law LLC Asset Manager - Cyndee Harding, High Caliber MultifamilyCPA - James Bohan, Stonehan AccountancyMentor - Deal Maker MentoringResourcesConnect with Michael BlankTheFreedomPodcast.com Join the Deal Maker MastermindExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsGet the Syndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session541/

It was once a diagnosis widely believed to be an absolute death sentence, but much has changed since the earliest years of the AIDS epidemic. There have been tremendous advances in detection and treatment which have dramatically improved health outcomes for millions. Still, an estimated 1.2 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV, and 13% of them don’t know it. That gap is tied to barriers in access to testing, treatment, and ongoing care, and it continues to contribute to increases in new diagnoses. On today’s special edition of Closer Look with Rose Scott, we look beyond the disease itself to examine how stigma is also a factor. Our panel discusses efforts to confront and reduce stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. If you or someone you know is in need of testing for HIV/AIDS, you can access these resources: AID Atlanta, Grady Healthcare, Cobb & Douglas Public Health, CVS Minute Clinic, AvitaCare Atlanta.
