If you search the Rothschild name online, you'll find a cartoon villain.A secret cabal.A shadow government.A family that supposedly controls the weather.That story is fiction.The real story is more unsettling — because it doesn't rely on magic.It relies on systems.In this episode, we trace how the Rothschild family built the architecture of modern finance:• A private intelligence network that moved information faster than kings• Cross-border gold logistics during the Napoleonic Wars• Financing the defeat of Napoleon• Inventing the sovereign bond market• Saving the Bank of England during the 1825 crisisThey didn't rule Europe by secret handshake.They industrialized government debt.And for a brief window in the 19th century, if a king wanted to fight a war — he needed their capital.This isn't a conspiracy story.It's a blueprint story.And the blueprint outlived the family.

What happens when a technology-minded New Yorker stumbles into Hollywood and ends up reshaping how the industry makes trailers, title sequences, and motion graphics for the next three decades? This week, Eric Ladd joins the show to talk about his winding path from floppy disk drives and Bank of America to running Novocom, building Pittard Sullivan into a global powerhouse, and founding Picture Mill, one of the most influential design and motion graphics companies in entertainment marketing history. Now he's doing it again with Ignite XR, creating AR and social content tools contracted by TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. Along the way, the conversation covers how Picture Mill got its name (in a single impulsive moment at a lunch meeting), the deal that fell apart and sent half of Pittard's leadership out the door to start their own companies, and how Eric pioneered digital before the industry even had a name for it. He also shares what it was like to shoot the Mandalay tiger in Hawaii, fly to Edwards Air Force Base with a first-time solo pilot to blow up a quarter-scale hotel, and pitch George Lucas on a Star Wars re-release trailer using a clip of Apocalypse Now on VHS. Key Takeaways Confidence Is a Skill Before leaving Pittard, Eric had already grown Novocom from two people to sixty. That track record gave him the credibility to walk into Aspect Ratio's Citrus lunch meeting with an $8.5M business plan he'd written in two hours — and walk out with a credit line and the name Picture Mill. The People You Work With Are the Real Portfolio When asked about favorite campaigns, Eric sidestepped the question entirely: "I have favorite people." The relationships formed in those early years, including editors, designers, producers, directors, are what he actually carries forward. Know When to Leave, and Who Should Replace You At Pittard, Eric not only knew when his time was up, he named Anne Epstein as the person who should take the job. Succession thinking and generosity with credit have been constants throughout his career. Bleeding Edge Requires a Tolerance for Uncertainty Whether it was scanning and comping an entire Spike Lee trailer in the early days of digital, pioneering AR filters on Snapchat before the platforms knew what to do with them, or landing a contract with ByteDance by simply delivering a working product without being asked, Eric's approach has always been to figure it out first and explain it later. AI Is a Tool, Not a Threat... If You Have Ideas The conversation about AI cuts to the heart of what this show is about. Eric's view: "It all comes down to ideas." AI can execute, but someone still has to direct it. The people who will struggle are those who were already functioning as tools themselves. Notable Quotes "I went over there at five o'clock and Ed and I were there till ten. We just clicked." "I said, 'You can't afford me.' He said, 'How much do you want?' Six months later my paycheck just went WHOOSH." "When we came back from lunch, we'd hired every one of those people in the waiting room." "It all comes down to ideas. AI can give you ideas, but it lacks what humans can do with them." "A lot of being successful has to do with wherewithal. If you can hang in there long enough, you can be successful doing anything." "When we're gone, those stories are gonna be gone with us." "Not anymore. They're on the record!"

Vor 40 Jahren (1986) trat Stephan Eicher zum ersten Mal im legendären Pariser Olympia auf. Nun ist er dort mit seinem neuen Album auf Tournee. Seit Jahrzehnten ist Eicher in Frankreich ein Star. Wie gelang ihm dies? Warum blieb er der Stadt, die sein Herz brach, über all die Jahre treu? Stephan Eicher kennt Paris wie keine andere Stadt. Er liebt sie auch. «Das würde ich nie auf Französisch sagen, sonst werden sie noch eingebildeter», spöttelt er. Seine Auftritte im 133jährigen Pariser Olympia, in welchem auch Edith Piaf oder die Beatles aufgetreten sind, vergleicht er mit kleinen Banküberfällen. Nach Paris kam er, weil er seiner ersten grossen Liebe aus Bern folgte, die er jedoch bald an einen Freund aus Paris verlor. Aus seinem Schmerz und mit ein paar Brocken Französisch textete er Lieder für das kleine Album «Souvenir». Aus einer zufälligen Begegnung mit dem Autor von «Betty Blue, 37.2 am Morgen», Philippe Djian, entwickelte sich eine jahrzehntelange Freundschaft und Zusammenarbeit. Ist Eicher in Frankreich ein anderer Star als in der Schweiz? Warum strotzt sein neues Album vor Naturbeobachtungen? Stephan Eicher ist nach dem Konzert im Olympia zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

Crash oder Rally: Der Dax kämpft mit der Marke von 25.000 Punkten. Da er schon länger praktisch seitwärts läuft, erwarten Experten einen starken Ausbruch. Aber was heißt das jetzt für Anleger? „An der Börse sind oft die Grautöne entscheidend. Für den Dax spricht seine zyklische Komponente. In den Schwellenländern geht die Post ab, in Deutschland nicht. Man kann auch sagen stabile Seitenlage für den Dax. In Amerika wird das Wirtschaftswachstum noch in der zweiten Jahreshälfte stärker werden", so Robert Halver.

New research suggests Australians are dangerously overconfident about detecting AI deepfake scams, even as the technology becomes harder to spot. Experts warn scammers hijack trust and instinct, and are calling on people to pause, verify and reject suspicious messages. - یک تحقیق تازه نشان می دهد آسترالیایی ها در تشخیص فریبکاریها و کلاهبرداری های "دیپ فیک" ساخته شده با هوش مصنوعی، بیش از حد مطمئین اند. در حالی که این تکنالوژی هر روز طبیعی تر و شناسایی آن سخت تر میشود. متخصصین هشدار می دهند کلاهبرداران از اعتماد و احساسات مردم سوءاستفاده کرده و می گویند بهترین کار این است که مکث و بررسی کرده و پیام های مشکوک را رد کنید.

It's Not Closed Till Money Is in the Bank Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Founders seeking funding will hear yes from an investor. Many founders consider the funding to be done. Founders should move to close the funding and not rest until the funds have been transferred. Many funding commitments never materialize. Issues come up in diligence. The investor has cash flow issues or unexpected expenses. Bad news from the financial markets shakes the investor's confidence. To close the funding, set up a timeline with the investor. Baby step in the process to get the documents signed, the diligence done, and the funds transferred. Remove areas of friction, such as docu-signing the investment documents. Diligence is a key area to watch out for, as new information will come to light. This will have the most impact on an investor's decision. Finally, keep the fundraise going. It's not closed till money is in the bank. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

After catching up with Kristjan and Evan on their recent travels and conversations, Saskatchewan's Minister of Agriculture, David Marit, joins them on this episode of The Truth About Ag. David reflects on his path from farming near Fife Lake to municipal politics, leadership within the rural municipalities association, and ultimately cabinet. He speaks candidly about mentorship, the importance of surrounding yourself with strong people, and the responsibility that comes with representing agriculture at the federal-provincial table. The conversation quickly shifts to what is pressing on producers right now. Cost of production, return on investment, and the impact of trade disruptions sit at the centre. They discuss value-added processing and why expanding crush and processing capacity inside Saskatchewan changes the math for farmers. The discussion expands into research capacity, infrastructure gaps, and how Canada scales agricultural companies beyond small and mid-sized operations. There is also a clear focus on telling a better story about production practices, emissions performance, and the competitive advantage Western Canada already holds. Bank lending structures, grain storage capacity, business risk programs, crop insurance design, and how large farms fit within existing rules all come under the microscope. David shares his concerns about regulatory bottlenecks at the federal level and their impact on innovation and livestock movement.

George Davis, Founder and CEO of Lorum.George has been deep in payments for years: Head of Product at TrueLayer, then co-founder of BVNK, and now building Lorum to tackle the hardest layer of the stack: global clearing.We get into:Why payments becomes an obsession if you look closely enoughWhat “rebuilding clearing from the ground up” actually means, in plain EnglishVirtual accounts, ledgering, Swift, and why settlement speed still mattersThe real opportunity: fixing dollar clearing and cross border flowsHow Lorum makes money, and why being “payments only” changes the incentivesThe fundraising sprint, choosing Northzone, and what great investors actually do day to dayThe hardest part early on: banking reality versus licensing theory in the Middle EastHow George runs transparency, morale, and intensity during high growthA simple lesson for founders: do not start a company unless you care deeply about the problem

I started documenting Goliath Ventures on 1 September 2025 after investors began quietly telling me withdrawals had stalled.At the time, the explanation was simple: liquidity delays, wallet restrictions, MSB approvals in progress. Weekly emails reassured everyone that patience was required. What began as a financial dispute has now become a federal criminal case.Christopher Alexander Delgado, CEO of Goliath Ventures Inc, has been arrested and charged by the United States government with wire fraud and money laundering. The Department of Justice is alleging that what investors were told was a sophisticated cryptocurrency liquidity pool operation was, in fact, a $328 million Ponzi scheme.THE SCAM BEGINSAccording to the federal complaint, from January 2023 through January 2026 Goliath Ventures raised at least $328 million from investors. The pitch was modern and technical. Funds would be deployed into cryptocurrency liquidity pools. Monthly returns between 3% and 8% were presented as achievable. Some were told returns were effectively guaranteed. Joint Venture Agreements promised principal would be returned “without diminution or impairment,” with withdrawals processed within five to seven business days.That language created confidence. The contracts looked structured. The dashboards showed monthly distribution rates. The numbers increased. Investors saw what appeared to be performance.THE STRUCTURE UNRAVELSFederal investigators now allege that although investors were told their money was being placed into liquidity pools, little to none of it was meaningfully deployed that way. Instead, the complaint states that new investor funds were used to pay purported returns to earlier investors, to return principal to those requesting withdrawals, and to cover corporate and personal expenses.Bank records cited in the complaint show hundreds of millions flowing into specific business accounts. Approximately $253 million was deposited into one JP Morgan Chase account. Another $75 million went into a Bank of America account. Tens of millions moved into Coinbase wallets allegedly controlled by Delgado. He was identified as the sole signatory on key accounts.Blockchain analysis, including work performed by Chainalysis Government Solutions, allegedly showed only a small fraction of funds ever reaching platforms like Uniswap. Meanwhile, investor dashboards continued to reflect steady monthly returns.If proven, that gap between representation and reality becomes the core of the case.THE LIFESTYLEThe complaint also details real estate purchases allegedly funded with investor money. Properties in Winter Park, Kissimmee, Windermere, and Sanford, each valued between approximately $1.15 million and $8.5 million. The government outlines transactions that form part of the money laundering count, including a $300,000 transfer cited in the charging documents.For months, investors were told delays were temporary. Meanwhile, according to the affidavit, funds were cycling internally and assets were being acquired.THE ARRESTOn February 24, 2026, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida issued a press release titled “Goliath Ventures CEO Arrested for Wire Fraud and Money Laundering.” The case is now formally listed as United States v. Christopher Alexander Delgado, Case No. 6:26-mj-01240-LHP.The investigation is being conducted by IRS Criminal Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations. Prosecutors named in the case include AssistBuy Me a Coffee I'm on @buymeacoffee. If you like my work, you can buy me a coffee and share your thoughts.Support the show

Global trade has been thrown into fresh chaos following last week's Supreme Court ruling, which deemed President Trump's IEEPA tariffs to be illegal. The reaction in financial markets has been relatively calm so far, as not only were investors prepared for the verdict, but they fully expected the president to pursue alternative methods to achieve his trade objectives. The future of ECB President Lagarde has also been thrown in doubt following a FT report released last week, which suggested that she could be considering leaving her post before the end of her term. Meanwhile, sterling has faced headwinds from UK political uncertainty and rising expectations that the Bank of England will slash rates again at its next meeting in March.We'd like to hear from you!

In Money and Promises: Seven Deals That Changed the World, the distinguished banker, executive, and historian Paolo Zannoni examines the complex relationship between states and banks that has changed the world. Drawing on in-depth archival research, he explores seven case studies: the republic of Pisa, seventeenth-century Venice, the early years of the Bank of England, imperial Spain, the Kingdom of Naples, the nascent United States during the American Revolution, and Bolshevik Russia in 1917 through 1923. Zannoni also tells the story of how the Continental Congress established the first public bank in North America, exploring the roles of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton. Spanning many countries, political systems, and historical eras, this book shows that at the heart of these institutions is an intricate exchange of debts and promises.

Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think.The New Zealand property market is showing signs of life, but the real story lies in the regional data and current mortgage trends. In this episode of New Zealand Property Insights, Paul and Debbie Roberts unpack the new Cotality Decoding 2026 Report and the record-breaking surge in bank switching.In this episode, Paul and Debbie cover:The 2026 Market Outlook: A deep dive into the latest Cotality report.

She highlights why securing independent financial advice is crucial to ensure you aren't paying top dollar for an underperforming investment.The Great Bank Switch: In December 2025, a record-breaking $5.8 billion in lending was driven simply by borrowers switching banks to chase cashback deals. Paul and Debbie explore whether these cashbacks actually save money, warning investors about hidden break fees and clawback periods. They also share actionable tips on how to negotiate better rates with your current bank using a mortgage adviser.Whether listeners are looking to refinance or wondering where the property market is heading next, this episode cuts through the noise to provide the facts.Resource Links:

Samurajerna - en japansk ikon som vi aldrig tycks kunna få nog av. Inte bara vi, utan även japanska filmproducenter och emellanåt även Hollywood. Det är något som aldrig upphör att fascinera med dessa japanska krigare.Men vilka var dom egentligen, och var dom så krigiska som dom framställs på vita duken. Hade de ens svärd?Japanpodden gästas av Mikael Adolphson, professor i japansk historia vid Cambridge, som håller på med en bok som, om man ska tro honom själv, en gång för alla kommer att ta kål på myten om den krigiske, hjältemodiske samurajen. NYHETERPOLITIK – Ny myndighet för ekonomisk säkerhetJapans premiärminister Sanae Takaichi vill inrätta en ny central myndighet för ekonomisk säkerhet. Den ska granska utländska investeringar i Japan, inom strategiska sektorer som halvledare, artificiell intelligens och kritisk infrastruktur. I dag delas den uppgiften mellan flera olika ministerier, vilket regeringen menar fördröjer viktiga beslut och ökar risken för säkerhetsluckor. Liknande myndighet finns exempelvis i USA och det övergripande syftet är att minska sårbarheten i ett läge med ökade geopolitiska spänningar, inte minst i relationen till Kina. Kritiker varnar samtidigt för att mer makt koncentreras till premiärministerns kansli. Lagförslag väntas presenteras senare under året.EKONOMI – Debatt om räntor, inflation och momsEfter Takaichis förkrossande seger i parlamentsvalet för två veckor sedan ligger nu mycket av fokuset på vilken ekonomisk politik hon väntas vilja föra. Takaichi har uttryckt oro över ytterligare räntehöjningar från centralbanken Bank of Japan, som i december höjde styrräntan till 0,75 procent – den högsta nivån på tre decennier. Yenen har försvagats och inflationen ligger fortsatt över målet, vilket ökar trycket på hushållen. Takaichi vill nu att penningpolitiken samordnas tydligare med finanspolitiska åtgärder. Hon har upprepat sitt vallöfte om att tillfälligt slopa den 8-procentiga momsen på livsmedel i två år för att stärka köpkraften. Förslaget har mött stöd bland väljare men väckt oro på finansmarknaden, eftersom det riskerar att öka budgetunderskottet i ett land som redan har den högsta statsskulden bland samtliga industriländer.UTRIKES – Beslag av kinesisk fiskebåtJapanska kustbevakningen har beslagtagit en kinesisk fiskebåt som befann sig i Japans ekonomiska zon. Händelsen sker i ett redan spänt läge mellan Tokyo och Peking, där territoriella tvister och säkerhetsfrågor dominerar relationen. Kina har protesterat mot ingripandet, medan Japan hävdar att man agerat i enlighet med internationell rätt. Det är den senaste i raden av flera liknande incidenter som rapporterats sedan i höstas. Analytiker menar att konfrontationerna speglar en bredare maktkamp i regionen. Från japansk sida säger man att man kommer fortsätta upprätthålla kontrollen över sina vatten.UTRIKES – Kanadensiskt besök i TokyoKanadas premiärminister Mark Carney kommer att besöka Japan i början på nästa vecka inom ramen för en rundresa i Indo-Stillahavsregionen som även omfattar Indien och Australien. På dagordningen står samarbete kring energi, kritiska mineraler och avancerad teknik, inklusive artificiell intelligens. Besöket ses som en del av en bredare strategi att stärka banden mellan likasinnade demokratier i regionen. Även säkerhetspolitiska frågor och handel väntas diskuteras. Japan har de senaste åren fördjupat samarbetet med G7-länder i frågor som rör leveranskedjor och ekonomisk säkerhet. Mötet understryker Japans centrala roll i regionens geopolitiska omvandling. Mark Carney har innan resan sagt att hans mål är att minska beroendet av USA och istället fördubbla exporten till andra länder.EKONOMI – Exporten fortsätter ökaJapans export steg med närmare 17 procent i januari jämfört med samma månad i fjol, enligt officiell statistik. Uppgången drivs främst av stark efterfrågan i Kina och övriga Asien. Exporten av tekniska komponenter ökade kraftigt, medan fordonssektorn utvecklades svagare. Det är femte månaden i rad med exporttillväxt. Handelsunderskottet minskar därmed, men osäkerheten i världsekonomin består. Regeringen beskriver siffrorna som ett tecken på motståndskraft, men varnar för att globala konjunktursvängningar snabbt kan påverka utvecklingen.KULTUR – Japansk anime i internationellt fokusDen japanske regissören Yoshitoshi Shinomiya har haft internationell premiär för sin nya animefilm ”A New Dawn”. Filmen skildrar konflikten mellan traditionellt hantverk och modern stadsutveckling och har väckt uppmärksamhet på europeiska filmfestivaler. Kritiker lyfter fram hur filmen kombinerar handritad animation med digital teknik och knyter an till japanskt kulturarv. Produktionen ses som ytterligare ett exempel på hur japansk animation fortsätter att spela en central roll i Japans ambition att vara en stormakt inom det som brukar beskrivas som mjuk makt, och föruytom film även innefattar sånt som musik och mat.SPORT – Japanska framgångar i vinter-OSI likhet med Sverige hade Japan ett synnerligen framgångrikt Vinter-OS 2026 i Milano-Cortina. Särskilt uppmärksammat blev guldet i paråkning i konståkning genom Riku Miura och Ryuichi Kihara, som satte personligt rekord i den fria åkningen. Japan placerade sig på tionde plats i medaljligan och gjorde ett av sina starkaste vinter-OS hittills, med 5 guld, 7 silver och 12 brons.Personer, böcker och filmer som nämns i podden: Musui´s story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsu_Kokichi Harakiri: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harakiri_(1962_film)Hagakure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HagakureBushido - the Soul of Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido:_The_Soul_of_JapanFaculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Cambridge: https://www.ames.cam.ac.uk/ This is a public episode.

In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with 2 Chainz for a powerful conversation about faith, intuition, legacy, and long-term wealth. 2 Chainz breaks down the meaning behind his first book, “The Voice in My Head Is God,” describing it as a reflection on listening to divine guidance and trusting inner conviction. He shares raw stories from his life — including being robbed at gunpoint and navigating childhood experiences that shaped his mindset — while explaining how Atlanta’s culture, street evolution, and Black ownership ecosystem influenced his journey. The discussion explores humility, fatherhood, prayer, discipline, and what it means to move like a legend with responsibility. The conversation also dives into business and financial literacy, as 2 Chainz candidly discusses real estate lessons, credit strategy, investment wins and losses — including losing millions on a dispensary deal and SPAC investments — and why legacy thinking matters more than fast money. He previews his upcoming Statik Selektah–produced album “Players Only Live Once,” defines “PLAYAZ” as “Preparing Legal Assets for Years from A to Z,” and hints that this could be his final album. From music marketing to New York Times bestseller goals, 2 Chainz makes it clear: this is a season of wisdom, ownership, and intentional growth.

Tried as he might on his African safari vacation, your editor in chief could not ignore the news from back home. He saw a lot of lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippos, elephants, cheetahs, and leopards, witnessed real-life drama when a cheetah tried and failed to kill a baby wildebeest, and spent countless hours with a guide to point out all the amazing birds in the Serengeti. But all he could focus on was the Kevin Warsh nomination, the FDIC's new willingness to approve Industrial Loan Company charter applications, and the OCC's approval of stablecoin-related trust bank charters. If that was not enough to occupy his attention, he could not stop thinking about how the Small Business Administration's new Small Business Investment Company could be good news for bank treasury.Subscribe to The Bank Treasury Newsletter and Podcast at thebanktreasurynewsletter.com for professional Insights and commentary on bank treasury issues, investment portfolio strategy, and more.

Episode 278-Don’t Let Them Memory Hole Us Also Available OnSearchable Podcast Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS Mass shooting, Canada, gun laws, mental health, firearm license, self-defense, transgender, mandatory buyback, gun control, observational awareness, situational awareness, gun rights, New Jersey, firearm industry, de-banking. SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2 Teddy Nappen  00:17 I’m Teddy Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. I wanted to kind of address this to the audience, as this has been kind of brushed over. There’s been multiple mass shootings, but there was one that caught my eye. They are trying to effectively bury in the stories. Like, I don’t even see it that much coming the news. The mass shooting in Canada! Every single one of the Left’s arguments on how to stop a mass shooting, everything that they push for, demonstrated in Canada failed. The Left always argues that stricter gun laws will prevent a mass shooting. If it saves one life. Even though  2.7 million lives are saved with self-defense uses of a firearm. If it saves one life. They always argue the accessibility of firearms –  that’s what leads to mass shootings. Teddy Nappen  01:15 So, I want to kind of lean into this story where nine people were shot and killed, 27 were injured in the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. (https://www.junonews.com/p/exclusive-family-confirms-identity) It was a man identifying as a woman, which, you know, that’s one of the other reasons why they’re burying the story. It doesn’t fit the narrative of the straight, white, right wing conservative as the shooter. So, obviously we can’t talk about it. You hear from the North District Commander Ken Floyd of the gun person. Yeah, person. Always good to not misgender the school shooter. He murdered his mother, but also shot his step brother as well. Don’t bring up that fact. Also, a troubled house life, and the school that he shot up, of course, he was thrown out of the school. Police had been called to the home multiple times. They had multiple instances with this individual who had reported mental health problems. Huh, interesting. Teddy Nappen  02:21 Oh, and it gets better. So, the suspect had a firearm license, which, by the way, in Canada, you cannot possess a firearm for self-defense – only hunting. Keep that in mind. Supposedly, the guns recovered were a long gun and a “modified handgun”. They don’t go into details as to what was modified. So, the suspect, the shooter, the man identifying as a woman, I’m going to repeat that, the suspect had dropped out of the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School four years ago and was not a student at the time. So, police had attended the suspect’s residence multiple times in the past several years, dealing with mental health occurrences. Hmm, wonder why? When he started identifying as a woman? You know, that usually leads to that 42% suicide rate. The only group that is close to that rate is paranoid schizophrenics. But you know, facts are transphobic and homophobic, apparently. This included one of the attendants where, two years ago, the firearms were seized under criminal code. He was Red Flagged! Oh, he had multiple mental health instances. So, obviously we’ve got to seize his guns. The very argument by the Left to stop mass shootings. But, of course, because the man identified as a woman, then of course, well, we can’t, we don’t want to be transphobic. Let’s give him, oh, sorry, her back his firearms. Teddy Nappen  03:53 And, of course, suspect was born a biological male and then started transitioning six years ago. So, six years  ago, he started transitioning and identified as a woman. Two years ago, the firearms are seized, so then he can say, oh, sorry, I think I’m a woman, so give me back my firearms, even though the police have come multiple times for multiple mental health incidents. Other than that, though, let’s give him back his guns. So, right there we have a clear demonstration of the fact that his firearms were seized and then he got, you know, Red Flagged. They actually have it. I pulled the law under their Public Safety website emergency prohibition order. (https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cntrng-crm/frrms/rd-flg-lws-en.aspx) A judge issues the order if they believe the individual poses a risk to themselves or others. When the order was issued, firearms, and firearm license and other documents and other weapons may be removed up to 30 days, and you have a hearing date. He goes to the hearing date and says, I want my guns back. And here they are given back and then does the shooting. The level. It’s just so disgusting. The system works every time. He got the guns back, and then boom, goes right into a mass shooting. Teddy Nappen  05:12 By the way, Canada is one of the most strictest places you could find for a firearm. You cannot get firearms for self-defense uses. They ban every form of semi-auto possible. Their laws are extremely, extremely difficult in order to get firearms. Also, Trudeau did a freeze on the sale, purchase, or transfer of handguns, stopping all handgun purchases. It’s still in effect. So, you can’t get a handgun to defend yourself. You have no means of purchase except for hunting, and every single one of the anti-gun, the gun rights oppressors, the Left’s whole argument about trying to stop mass shootings. We need all of these things. Well, Canada had all these things. A ban on extended mags. All the bans that you could have on every semi-auto possible, and it still wasn’t enough. And still led to a mass shooting. Every protocol failed. Teddy Nappen  06:13 And by the way, this isn’t the first. Quite frankly, Canada is the inventor of the mass shooter. On December 6, 1989, at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique 14 women were killed as a student went through shooting up the place. (https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/polytechnique-tragedy) And that was their justification for all their anti-gun agendas. This is what they said, oh, we’ve got to go after firearms. He just walked through the school and just started shooting the people. They had no means of defense. Then in 2006 a gunman killed one woman and injured 19 others at Montreal college being (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/sep/15/topstories3.internationaleducationnews) He was shot dead by the police saying he wanted to die like Romeo and Juliet. Okay. The man must have been an acting major, a fan of Shakespeare. Teddy Nappen  07:00 And then cut to, I love this one. In 2020, Canada’s deadliest mass shooting. The shooter was Gabriel Wortman. His wife, Lisa Banfield, goes into details in her book, “The First Survivor: Life With Canada’s Deadliest Mass Shooter.” Wortman walks through and kills 22 people in the span of 13 hours, dressed up as a Mountie. He went across a 200 kilometer stretch. Shooting people for 13 hours, 13 hours. Going up and down, shooting and killing people. And no one was there to defend themselves. No one has any guns. This is in 2020. But the Left doesn’t want you to know that. Teddy Nappen  07:44 Just like they don’t want you to know that every time when they hailed Venezuela as the great socialist experiment, when you have Bernie Sanders, who was honeymooning in the Soviet Union and arguing that Cuba has the best healthcare. They always move the goal post or they’ll memory hole it. Trying to make the argument. Oh, this doesn’t fit the narrative. So, we can’t talk about this. That’s how disgusting these people are. And by the way, they even have their mandatory buyback program in Canada. By the way, it’s a complete failure, too. They got like 200 guns. No one’s complying. And that was the thing that The Trace even argued. They said that the hardest part about running a mandatory gun buyback is compliance. Because unless you’re going to go door to door at the barrel of a gun and stealing people’s property, gun buybacks, mandatory gun buyback programs fail every time. So, this ends the debate. This factually ends the debate that every single means of gun control that they argue to stop a mass shooting will not stop a mass shooting. Teddy Nappen  08:52 Not to mention that it is part of our culture where guns are. It’s, yeah, I’m trying to remember the numbers, and it was like 350 million. I can but it’s the we already have a mass number of firearms in the United States. So, the Nirvana fallacy, logical fallacy of trying to argue, if we just get rid of all the guns, there’ll be no mass shootings. No. Because the Left need to understand that there is evil in this world. There is evil. Yeah, they always say. They always try to justify it. Like, oh, I’m poor, I’m impoverished, I’m an illegal who came to this country. They always argue that, trying to justify evil and just accepting the fact. They try to mislabel evil. There is evil in this world, and you have to accept that there will always be terrible people wanting to commit terrible acts. Cut to, you know, taking a car and just running into a crowd of people at a Christmas parade. Cut to the U.K. with random stabbings and their mass pile of rapes that they don’t want to talk about. There will always be evil in this world, and they have to accept it. That is what needs to be brought. So, going on that cheery note, let’s talk about our good friends at WeShoot. Teddy Nappen  10:19 Well, WeShoot is a range in Lakewood. It’s an indoor range where both myself and my father go to shoot. We love to go there. WeShoot is conveniently located right off the Parkway. They have some cool specials that I want to tell you about. The Smith M&P 9M 2.0 Compact is ready to roll. They have that. They’re also offering an M&P 9M 2.0 in metal. So, you can have your choice in metal or polymer. There is the Vortex Triumph, which is in all new optics. Pretty cool. The Vortex makes some good stuff. My father has some Vortex on his guns. They also have the Ross Martin RM1C, which is a striker fire, compact pistol that is really taking the gun world by storm. You should check out the Ross Martin. It’s a really good gun. And, of course, you want to check out the WeShoot girls. They’re featuring a number of folk, including Kristen Fernicola. Go to their website, www.weshootusa.com.

You can go some fantastic training, too. Great pro shop right there in Lakewood, New Jersey. weshootusa.com. Teddy Nappen  11:44 I also want to mention our good friends at The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. (ANJRPC.org) They’re quite busy fighting in the courts and with the legislation in Trenton. Murphy’s gone, but we did get some new laws. Of course, it’s a very tough environment, but we all get some changes that are critical. I’m glad to see modifications, although completely stopping when the folk have all the power is tough. The Association has made a big difference. We’re thankful, too. Because without The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, we would have no unified voice of an umbrella organizations, of our clubs and organizations. You need to be a member of The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. Go to anjrpc.org and join today. You’ll get a newsletter. The best newsletter in the state on guns. You’ll see email alerts, and you’ll know that what’s going on when it comes to our gun rights in New Jersey. That’s anjrpc.org. Teddy Nappen  12:39 I would also like to shamelessly plug my father’s book, which is New Jersey Gun Law. The Bible in New Jersey gun law. It’s over 500 pages with 120 topics, all questions and answers. It’s your guidebook to not becoming a GOFU in New Jersey. And man, let me tell you some of the times people call up and ask, and it’s after the fact. I’m like, did you read the book? Did you read the book? We’ll still fight and defend you, but it would have been a lot easier if you never had the problem in the first place. And most of the clients would agree with that, I’m afraid. So, get your copy of the book today. Go to EvanNappen.com,  EvanNappen.com. Get your copy of New Jersey Gun Law. Teddy Nappen  13:23 So, let’s get to Press Checks. As you know, Press Checks are always free. This is something I find very important, because I think people are forgetting, when the Left had their unfettered power. That’s why you’re seeing a lot of the Left moving to the trying to pivot to the center. Saying, like, oh yeah, we know, mass migration is bad. Yeah, yeah. And trying to, like, epically fail when asked how many genders there are. They can’t define what a woman is. But we have to remember that it’s not just the Left, but it’s the insidious institutions that they abuse. The fact that this is a term that I’m pushing for because it’s a fact. It’s gun deserts. The Left realize now that they can’t win in the public square of debate. Because with gun control, we can easily, we can easily defend and fight against it. And we can push back on every one of their points, because every one of their points are nonsensical. They’ve lost the media where we have alternative tech. There’s Rumble, and you have all the voices. X has become slightly more free. And because a lot of the big tech companies want to use AI, they’re allowing, okay, yeah, we’ll let the conservatives have their points and speak. Teddy Nappen  14:57 So, this is the one bid. It’s the financial institutions. If you all remember the heavy issue of de-banking. I caught this article, and I was like, oh yeah, I remember that issue. (https://www.nraila.org/articles/20260209/jp-morgan-in-growing-trend-backtracks-on-anti-gun-policies) I love how JP Morgan says they’re going to roll back the de-banking that they were committing against gun shops and firearm companies. So, to give a little history lesson, this comes right from the NRA-ILA’s article of JP Morgan’s backtracking. I mean, this goes back to Obama Biden, like the 2010s, where firearm-related businesses were having trouble with Bank of America. Even though they said they didn’t have any corporate policy, we know they’re lying, of course. And then the allegations were getting worse, and Bank of America said, no, no, we don’t have any policy. Then finally, in 2014 they admitted under Operation Choke Point where they threatened to throttle any institution that exercises Second Amendment rights by pressuring banks to drop business, to drop businesses in the firearm industry. So, thankfully, President. Trump got in and stopped that operation. But it proved the point. We were right. The banks were weaponized against the firearm industry. They were trying to go after any form of gun shops or any firearm industries. You know, they can’t get a loan. Then my favorite one was when they were trying to do the credit card scheme. They were trying to track firearm purchases on credit cards. Teddy Nappen  16:34 Also, I love this one where they would pressure firearm industry groups to not sell certain semi-automatic firearms, and also cutting back on standard capacity mags. They like to say high capacity, but it’s just standard capacity. Prohibiting the sale of magazines. Then, of course, the Left would tote saying, look at the firearm industry. They support our anti-gun movement. Well, you’re trying to de-bank me and lose my business. So, I have to agree with you. You know, if you point a gun at someone and demand them to say things, they’ll say things. It’s so disingenuous. At the point where there was a 2019 hearing where the institutions were hauled in. Coming to answer questions that they delved in when it came to banks working with firearm industry and forcing them to push the anti-gun policies. It’s the level of disgusting nature that comes into play. We need to remember that. We need to remember these institutions. Because when the pendulum swings, which it will, at some point, they will get back to business as usual. Attacking our rights. And even President Trump, right back in office, 2024. He comes back in and says to Davos. He gives a huge speech and points to the CEO. JP Morgan and everybody else, I hope you start opening your banks to conservatives. What you’re doing is wrong. Pointing it right out. Not saying, oh, the firearm industry. No, conservatives. Because that’s what it is. It’s conservatives that they are de-banking. It’s conservatives they are attacking and weaponizing. Teddy Nappen  18:21 And even going back to the, I think it was the National Shooting Sports Foundation that even addressed this exact issue. In 2021, they testified in a Congress hearing stating that JP Morgan’s Chase would not lend to manufacturers of modern sporting rifles. There’s your proof, right there. So, remember this. Do not trust the big tech companies. Do not trust the banks. Because right now, the culture has shifted, but they are fully willing to get back. If you look at the donors to Kamala Harris, they all donated to Kamala. They all donated. They all heavily donate to Democrats. Only now, because we’re in power, they’re like, oh yeah, we’re for you guys. Yeah, okay. Enjoy chasing that AI trend while you guys won’t de platform us. But we need to remember that. So, we need to embrace and look to other means, because this is the games they play. We need to find ways around that. Teddy Nappen  19:25 It’s time to finish off with the GOFU, everyone’s favorite. We need to. Also, this is a kind of a lesson in observational awareness. Jeff Cooper preached that idea of observational awareness. He even made a little game of X’s and O’s. Where, if you go into any room or place, you make sure you see everyone and make an O. And as you’re walking through, if you miss somebody who saw you first, give that one an X. Play that game in your head as a scoring method. Yeah, because observational awareness is key. I’m going to highlight that with an actual article from USACarry.com. (https://www.usacarry.com/man-fatally-shoots-attacker-while-playing-pokemon-go-in-anderson-indiana/) A man was attacked while playing Pokémon Go in the woods. He was walking through the woods and was playing Pokémon Go. A 51-year old businessman was playing Pokémon Go, a scavenger hunt, on his phone, and he was ambushed by a homeless man who punched him in the back of the head and stole his phone. At which time, he, you know, drew his firearm and fatally shot the man. It was ruled fully justified, because, first of all, you’re getting punched in the back of the head. People have died from that. And look, there may be more to the story of why it was justified, but the police and the prosecutor found that it presented and seemed like a strong case of self-defense. The fact that he was ranting and raving. But this is the point. This is a clear demonstration. He could have avoided that whole encounter, and it could have gone very bad very quickly. Because all it took is one Left wing prosecutor to say he shot an unarmed man, and his life would have been ruined. Observational awareness, situational awareness. Keep your head on a swivel. That is the GOFU. Don’t be a GOFU. Teddy Nappen  21:19 This is Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws do not protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

The IRS has lost tens of thousands of employees since President Donald Trump took office – the result of DOGE, policy differences, last year's government shutdown, and layoffs. Now that we're in tax season, the agency is asking thousands of untrained employees from other departments to help with taxpayer services. Those job cuts and changes could, at best, slow down your refund. At worst, the IRS could be far less able to stop scammers. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is insisting that taxpayers will be getting bigger refunds this year. The problem is, prices on basically everything are still super high – which gives people less of a chance to hold onto that money. And will anyone even remember their tax refunds when they head out to vote in November? For more, we spoke with Vanessa Williamson, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and author of “The Price of Democracy: The Revolutionary Power of Taxation in American History.”And in headlines, Arizona Republicans want to send ICE officers to polling places, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes the stand in a case weighing if social media platforms deliberately addict and harm children, and the Trump administration pushes back against a court order to restore an exhibit on people enslaved by George Washington in Philadelphia.Show Notes: Check out Vanessa's book – brookings.edu/books/the-price-of-democracy/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
