When it comes to your pet's health, there is no word more terrifying than "cancer." The immediate reaction is often fear, followed by a difficult question: "I wouldn't put myself through chemo, so why would I put my dog through it?"In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Rance Gamblin, a veterinary oncologist formerly at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital and now professor at Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine with 24+ years of experience and a calming presence that could soothe even the most "OCD" pet parent (just ask Alice!). Dr. Gamblin helps us navigate the emotional and medical complexities of a cancer diagnosis, explaining why veterinary oncology is often far more compassionate and focused on quality of life than human medicine.In this episode, we discuss:- The "Quality of Life" Philosophy: Why the goals of pet oncology differ from human oncology—focusing on making pets feel better for longer, rather than "curing at any cost."- Common Culprits: A look at the most frequent cancers Dr. Gamblin treats, including Lymphoma, Mast Cell Tumors, and Osteosarcoma.- The Truth About Side Effects: Do dogs lose their hair? Dr. Gamblin shares the reality of how pets handle chemotherapy (hint: there's a lot more tail-wagging involved than you'd think).- Treatment Innovations: Insights into the Yale vaccine study and the fascinating science behind the Melanoma vaccine. -Proactive Pet Parenting: Why Dr. Gamblin's biggest pet peeve is the "let's just watch it" approach, and why your pet's breath or a quick rectal exam could be a lifesaver.- Knowing When It's Time: A heart-to-heart on the "Big Four" indicators of quality of life and how to navigate the toughest decision a pet owner can make.Dr. Rance Gamblin earned his BS in Biology from Mississippi State and completed his residency in Oncology and Hematology at The Ohio State University. For over two decades, he has been a pillar of the veterinary community at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital, known for his expertise, his steady hand, and an accent you'll just have to hear for yourself to guess where he's from! He is currently a professor at Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine.--What started during the COVID-19 lockdown with one baby gorilla at the Cleveland Zoo has grown into a channel loved by animal fans around the world.

In this Leadership Takeover session, Kate Hayward, Managing Director of Xero UK, shares how growing up in a self-employed household shaped her views on risk, money and why bookkeepers are now more vital than ever to small businesses. For UK bookkeepers, this is a clear, honest look at where the profession is heading and how to stay at the centre of it. Kate talks about watching her parents worry over money at the kitchen table, how that drove her into a science degree and a Big Four career, and why she eventually left the perceived safety of that world to join a fast-growing tech company while planning to start a family. She shares the leadership moment that stopped her from self-selecting out of a senior role because of motherhood, and why background should never limit whose voice is heard in business or policy. A major theme of the conversation is financial literacy. Kate explains why the UK still lacks a joined-up, practical approach to money education and why Xero has invested in its financial literacy campaign to try to change that. She describes financial literacy as a life-cycle issue, from what children see at home to the decisions business owners face as they grow. For bookkeepers and accountants, Kate is clear: you are the lifeline for many small businesses. With the disappearance of the traditional bank manager, clients now turn to their adviser to interpret the numbers, sense-check decisions and connect them to wider support. She also acknowledges that many advisers were never taught sales, marketing or entrepreneurship, even though clients increasingly expect that wider commercial input. Find out about the benefits of becoming a Xero Partner, here: https://www.xero.com/uk/partner-programme/?UTM_Source=6fb The episode also tackles AI and the future of the profession. Kate's view is firm: AI will not replace bookkeepers or accountants. It will remove repetitive manual work and create space for deeper conversations, better insight and more ambitious client growth. The skills that matter most become communication, commercial thinking, pricing confidence and the ability to guide clients through uncertainty. If you are a UK bookkeeper or accountant who cares about small business, worries about AI, or wants to play a bigger role in clients' financial understanding and long-term success, this conversation with Kate Hayward will help you see what's coming next — and how you can stay essential. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

“Aneb and I met in 1974 when I was incarcerated in prison,” Matthew D. Jones Jr., LMSW, ACSW tells Detroit is Different—and from that first line, this episode becomes a masterclass in how Legacy Black Detroit culture survives, adapts, and teaches. Jones walks us from Black Bottom (“Chene & Gratiot”) to Forest & Van Dyke, where “seniors… looked out for the kids” and community love was “the normal process for black folks at the time.” He doesn't dodge the hard truths: the “Big Four” police harassment, the anger it produced, and the 1966 case that changed his life—plus the haunting image of a military tank rolling through Detroit during the 1967 rebellion. But the heart of this interview is transformation: “the only way I was going to get out… was education,” reading thousands of books, earning degrees inside, and being guided by elders like Dr. Gloria "Mama Aneb” House. When a freedom fighter challenges him—“violence is not going to save us… use your mind”—Jones turns pain into purpose, and his memoir Fire in My Belly becomes a roadmap for our past and a strategy for our future. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

PwC's new training program aims to give early-career recruits hands-on experience integrating artificial intelligence tools into everyday work. The Big Four accounting and advisory firm started piloting AI immersion sessions in October, with a full rollout to new US associates slated for July. The sessions are happening across PwC's tax, assurance, and advisory business. "We truly believe that the role of the new associate will be changing with AI and that their role will become somewhat elevated, and we need to make sure that we're really training them on those skills to work and think differently," said Margaret Burke, the firmwide talent acquisition and development leader for PwC US. Like its competitors, PwC has recently funneled resources into next generation autonomous tools aimed at handling routine tasks solo. The firm said in November it shed about 150 jobs across marketing, human resources, and other US support roles as part of a longer-term effort modernizing its back-office unit, including through using new AI tools. In this week's Talking Tax, Burke and PwC US Tax Leader Krishnan Chandrasekhar sat down with Bloomberg Tax reporter Jorja Siemons to discuss how the AI trainings have gone so far and what skills they hope new employees learn.

Hey gang! This week on the show we chat about all the things that are going on in the wrestling world! John Cena's last match, the NXT botch, AEW Continental Classic, all of it. Thank you all so much for all the support as we keep on trucking to #300 and beyond!

Let's get niche, baby! We're dipping out of our (and most people's, really) comfort zones to nominate some games outside of the 'Big Four' console manufacturers. Think SNK, NEC/Hudson Soft, Atari, Philips, 3DO Company... you get it. There's a huge number of bangers still available for their machines, some that defined the entire industry (and some that crashed it). The only rule is no home computers. Amiga (except the CD32), Spectrum and Commodore 64 (sorry, Steve), that means you're out. Vote for your favourite nominated game over @vg_hof on Twitter or @vghof on BlueSky and send us an email to videogamehof@gmail.com

This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!Is it time for the Coyotes to take a seat at the FCS "grownup" table? In other words, to make room to expand the "Big Four" of FCS football — North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Montana State, Montana — to the "Big Five?"USD has made three consecutive quarterfinals, something NDSU and SDSU — who have split the last four national titles, two apiece — can't say after losing in the round of 16 on Saturday (but the Bobcats and the Grizzlies can).Unlike the Big Four, the Coyotes haven't played in an FCS national title game within the last four years, or ever. We'll find out how they stack up against a blue blood Saturday on ABC in a time window when Army-Navy will be the only other football game to watch on over-the-air TV.But Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer and Happy Hour host John Gaskins dig in to what three years of USD reaching this round means, particularly for a 2025 team that has won five consecutive games — four against ranked teams — and left a 47-0 bruise on SoCon champ Mercer, the nation's best (statistical) offense and rush defense, by holding the Bears to 277 total yards (227 short of their average) and bulldozing them for 316 rushing yards (226 over their average).So, will the Coyotes stack up to the Grizzlies better than the Jackrabbits, who were 50-burgered? Zim and John kick that around as well in this week's edition of their five-years-and-running weekly podcast "Nobody's Listening Anyway."Also on the docket:* Why is Zim happy for Jimmy Rogers at Iowa State, and why does he find it nonsense to bash his character for leaving Washington State after less than a year to take his third head coaching job in four years? And why, in hindsight, was he still the best choice to take over for John Stiegelmeier?* Why does Zim feel Chase Mason doesn't need to go to the Big Ten or SEC or any FBS school to show NFL pros he is worthy of an early rounds NFL Draft selection?* What is Zim's sense of how many SDSU players who aren't out of eligibility will stick around?* Does NDSU's early round exit from the FCS Playoffs make the postseason more interesting or more boring? Does it make the FCS stronger? Does it strengthen or weaken the case that the Bison should want to stay in the FCS?* Oh, and should James Madison's entry into the CFB Playoffs make the case for NDSU and SDSU to "move up?" Actually, Zim says no. Why?* Bowl games — yeah, their prestige has been weakened over the decades by the sheer volume of them, the number of top players sitting them out, and now the number of teams refusing to play in them. Does that mean they should all go away? Zim says no. Hear why.

Want a founder story that includes spreadsheets, a stint as a roadie, an Atlantic crossing, and a will-signing party that packed the room? Meet Shane Mason of Brooklyn FI — a CPA/CFP who went from Big Four tax to touring life, then teamed up with AJ to build a 20-person advisory firm rooted in transparency, productized service, and genuine hospitality.We dig into the early days: running a tax practice out of a bar booth, pricing low to get at-bats, and taking weekend prospect meetings to sharpen the offer. Shane explains why he and AJ decided from day one to build an enterprise rather than a lifestyle practice, documenting workflows so every client gets the same quality of service no matter who's in the seat. That mindset shaped their hiring, retention, and their eventual shift from serving creatives to working with tech employees navigating ISOs, NSOs, RSUs, and liquidity events.The conversation gets practical fast. Shane shares why most equity compensation issues are really tax issues, why offering refunds can be a reputation-saving move, and how turning estate planning into a social, notarized event helps clients finally take action. We also explore the difference between small giants and scalable firms, the value of serialized advice, and what happens when founders step back from client work to rethink the business. Plus, a look at Gemifi, the fintech platform Brooklyn FI built to help advisors visualize vesting schedules and future balance sheets.If you're building or scaling an RIA, this episode is full of hard-won insights on niches, processes, client experience, and leading through growth.Shane's Linkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanemasoncpacfp/

In this episode, finance leader Brian Kenzie explores how the explosive rise of passive ownership has transformed capital markets, and what it means for internal audit and enterprise risk management. The Big Three may now influence internal audit more than the Big Four. If you don't know who the Big Three are then this episode is for you.

In this very special episode, Catherine, David and Matt sit down for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with former World No.1 and three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray, just over a year since his retirement from tennis. Murray talks about what coaching Novak Djokovic was really like, how he reflects on his career, his place in the ‘Big Four' and his rivalries with them, some of the biggest issues facing tennis today, and the joys of life at home with his family.

Beef Industry News Tyson Announced The Closing Of Beef Plant In Nebraska The beef business has been a buzz this past week when Tyson, one of the Nation's largest meat packing companies, announced plans to close a large beef plant in Lexington, Nebraska.   The news of the possible closing comes just weeks after President Donald Trump claimed the four largest companies are driving up the prices on purpose, to keep meat prices high for the consumer. On November 7, Trump took to social media to call for a DOJ investigation into the price fixing claims by saying “I have asked the DOJ to immediately begin an investigation into the Meat Packing Companies who are driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation. We will always protect our American Ranchers, and they are being blamed for what is being done by Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers, who artificially inflate prices, and jeopardize the security of our Nation's food supply.” Back in October, Tyson and Cargill agreed to pay more than $87.5 million to settle a federal lawsuit for "inflating" beef prices by limiting the supply to the public. Trump's most recent claims earlier in November call out the foreign owned meat packers, as well as the American-owned ones, like Tyson. The White House website also posted about how much influence the top four meat companies have over the price of beef saying "The “Big Four” meat packers — JBS (Brazil), Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — currently dominate 85% of the U.S. beef processing market, up from just 36% in 1980. Two of these companies, including the largest meat packer in the world, are either foreign-owned or have significant foreign ownership and control." References: https://thenationaldesk.com/news/nation-world/report-tyson-to-close-large-meat-plant-just-weeks-after-trumps-collusion-claims Price Fixing In The Beef Industry According to agricultural economists and the National News Desk, beef prices at the grocery store aren't expected to budge, even after Tyson Foods announced it will close one beef plant and scale back another. Texas A&M economist David Anderson says government investigations into meat-packer collusion are also unlikely to lower prices. He notes that cattle prices are at record highs, and even the big processors are losing money. “If they had real market power, they wouldn't be losing money,” Anderson says. Right now, ground beef averages $6.33 a pound, up more than 11% from last year. The core issue, Anderson says, is tight cattle supply—the smallest U.S. beef-cow herd since the early 1960s. Anderson explains that every beef-packing plant, not just Tyson, is operating in the red because live cattle prices are rising faster than wholesale beef prices—a normal pattern when herds are low. When cattle are plentiful, the roles reverse: ranchers lose money and packers profit. Despite concerns about the dominance of a few large meatpackers, Anderson says there's little evidence they can artificially inflate grocery store prices. “To push prices higher, you have to control supply,” he says. “And packers don't own the cattle or the feedlots.” So what is driving today's high beef prices? A shrinking cattle herd, shaped by years of drought, rising costs, and previously low prices. And rebuilding that herd takes time. A calf born last spring won't have its first calf until 2027, and that next generation won't reach market weight until late 2029. “It's hard to beat biology,” Anderson says. “We can't speed that up.” Until then, experts say beef prices at the grocery store will likely stay high—no matter what happens in the packing plants.

As of November 24, the EDCC has confirmed 29 EHV-1 cases associated with the event. The cases are located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, Arizona, and South Dakota. Herpesvirus is highly contagious among horses and can cause a variety of ailments. In many horses, the first or only sign of EHV-1 infection is fever, which can go undetected. In addition to fever, other common signs of EHV-1 infection in young horses include cough, decreased appetite, depression, and a nasal discharge. Pregnant mares typically show no signs of infection before they abort, and abortions usually occur late in gestation (around eight months) but can be earlier. Abortions can occur anywhere from two weeks to several months following infection with EHV-1. Herpesvirus is easily spread by nose-to-nose or close contact with an infectious horse; sharing contaminated equipment including bits, buckets, and towels; or clothing, hands, or equipment of people who have recently had contact with an infectious horse. Routine biosecurity measures, including hygiene and basic cleaning and disinfection practices, should be in place at all times to help prevent disease spread. Already, some equine events have been cancelled or postponed due to EHV-1, while others have been put on high alert, including the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.  If your horses show any  concerning signs or abnormalities, especially a fever or neurological symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

On this post-Thanksgiving edition of MAHA News, Jordan Sather and Nate Prince kick things off with holiday banter before digging into a rapid-fire barrage of health, agriculture, and regulatory bombshells. They react to Dr. Marty Makari's explosive podcast revelations about Lyme disease origins and U.S. cancer patients' cells being gene-edited in China, then break down major shifts inside America's health agencies, from new HHS leadership to Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham stepping in as the CDC's new #2. The hosts examine the uproar over the CDC's vaccine-autism webpage update, Senator Bill Cassidy's pharma-funded outrage, and newly exposed corruption inside HHS. From there, the episode turns to food and agriculture: Campbell's Soup executives trashing their own products, PFAS pesticide approvals, and Chuck Grassley's defense of Big Ag as Kennedy advisors target harmful pesticides. Jordan and Nate highlight alarming cancer clusters in heavy-spray states, unpack USDA and EPA failures, and spotlight ranchers fighting back through private-member co-ops and new grassroots alliances aimed at breaking the Big Four packer monopoly. They close with cannabis policy hypocrisy, fluoride debates, demographic decline, and the MAHA community's new health challenge board.

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Chris Canavan, founder and general manager of Canavan Private Wealth, to unpack one of the most confusing and emotionally charged chapters in a founder's journey: life after the liquidity event.Chris brings thirty years of global institutional and private office experience to the table, but his superpower is not managing money. It is designing and running the system around a founder's wealth. After watching countless entrepreneurs exit their companies only to be overwhelmed by advisors, decisions, documents, and emotional pressure, Chris built a model that restores clarity, control, and purpose.He explains how founders lose sight of their instincts amid a fire hose of new advisors promising the world, why trust erodes so quickly after a deal closes, and how fragmented systems lead to panic, confusion, and poor decisions. Chris breaks down the architecture of a modern private office, why most founders rely on sticky notes and spreadsheets, and how his closed-loop operational model gives founders their time back.From early warning signs of wealth fragmentation, to the psychological crash founders face when purpose suddenly disappears, to his triage process for investment opportunities, Chris delivers a brutally honest guide to navigating life after the big exit.Whether you are preparing for a liquidity event or already living through the post-sale fog, this episode shows you what founders get wrong, what they must put in place, and how to build a system that supports your next chapter rather than suffocates it.Spotting the Gaps: Managing the System, Not the Money (03:38)* How advisory silos fail ultra-high net worth individuals* Why communication, not talent, is the biggest weakness in wealth management* The role of the generalist who understands every silo deeply enough to connect them* Why founders need someone three to seven feet deep across all disciplinesFinding the Right Clients and Building Trust-Based Relationships (07:06)* Why fit, values, and authenticity matter more than money* How Chris screens clients who actually want to be helped* Why some founders treat advisors like commodities and how that destroys outcomes* Building long-lasting relationships built on accountability and transparencyManaging Founder Emotions and Behaviors Post-Exit (09:00)* Founders are used to speed, scale, and instant execution* Why slowing down is the hardest adjustment* How Chris handles frustration, urgency, and emotional volatility* The importance of respect and boundaries when multiple advisors and egos collideEarly Warning Signs of Wealth Fragmentation (16:21)* When day-to-day tasks start consuming founder's mental bandwidth* The “black flies in cottage country” analogy* Why founders lose the ability to focus on what matters* The fire hose of advisors and opportunities after an exitHow Chris Evaluates Investment Opportunities for Clients (25:09)* Pain reliever vs. gain creator: the framework for evaluating pitches* Why relationships and trust matter more than projected returns* How Chris filters noise before presenting anything to a founder* The story-first, numbers-second diligence processThe Psychological Crash After a Big Exit (28:17)* Why life will never be the same after selling a company* How society begins to define founders by the name of their exit* The loneliness and loss of identity that shock new millionaires* Why every human needs a sense of purpose to avoid emotional collapseBecoming a Project Manager of Your Own Life (31:45)* Why successful entrepreneurs struggle when their team disappears* Trust-building, listening, and meeting founders where they areHow Chris transitions from advisor to integratorWhy trust cannot be demanded, only earned over timeAdvice for Founders Preparing for an Exit (36:48)* Why founders must build structure before signing final documents* The danger of early engagement with performance-focused advisors* Why founders need an unconflicted advisory boardHow to breathe, slow down, and avoid urgency-driven decisionsThe Future of Private Wealth for Canadian Founders (40:10)* Why founders will disrupt the private office industry* The coming shift from advice to execution* How operational efficiency will redefine wealth managemen* The democratization of systems once reserved for legacy familiesAbout Chris CanavanChris Canavan is the founder and General Manager of Canavan Private Wealth, a private office that provides institutional discipline and operational clarity to ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

On this week's Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are chatting through the 2026 Grammy nominations, starting with the Big Four categories (album, record and song of the year, plus best new artist), and continuing with our pop-focused musings down the list. Question No. 1: Why is "Golden" -- the breakout hit from Netflix's musical juggernaut KPop Demon Hunters -- nominated in the song of the year category but not record of the year? With its sky-high vocals courtesy of the real-life women behind the animated K-pop groiup HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI) and its electric, inescapable electronic production, it feels tailor-made for the category honoring the recording of a song.

Since the peak year of 2018, German steel production has fallen by around 25 percent. Germany's economic crisis is accelerating. Sky-high energy costs, relentless competition from China and India, and the EU's absurd push for “green steel”—a climate-neutral variant no one demands on the world market—are pushing companies either into insolvency or out of the country. Industrial electricity prices have hovered around 16–17 ct/kWh for months. German industry still pays up to 70 percent more than U.S. or French competitors, who benefit from nuclear power as their energy base. This is the cost of the green transition. Green Deal Fails The frequency of summits is telling. Germany's transition to a climate-neutral economy has already failed.

According to some reports, ground beef and steak prices are up nearly 50% since July 2020. Trump has launched an investigation into meatpacking companies for possible price fixing and manipulation.     these Corporations are not criminally profiting at the expense of the American People. I am asking the DOJ to act expeditiously. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Overview of Alleged Price Fixing in the Beef IndustryThe "Big Four" meatpacking companies—JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill, and National Beef—control about 85% of U.S. beef processing. They have faced multiple antitrust lawsuits and Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations accusing them of colluding to suppress prices paid to ranchers for live cattle while artificially inflating wholesale and retail beef prices. This creates a wide "meat margin" profit for packers at the expense of producers and consumers.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the tentative deal to end the U.S. government shutdown, new debates over healthcare reform, the Supreme Court's surprise ruling on food stamps, major flight disruptions nationwide, and the latest developments on immigration, the Deep State, and America's economy. Shutdown Deal Reached — Maybe: The Senate passed a bill to reopen the government, but House Democrats say they'll block it over missing Obamacare subsidies. The White House is proposing a new alternative — direct cash for Health Savings Accounts instead of insurance company subsidies — a move Democrats call "backdoor privatization." Supreme Court Blocks Full Food Stamp Payouts: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sided with the Trump administration, overturning a lower-court order that forced states to issue full SNAP benefits. Some states had already paid out 100 percent before the ruling, creating fresh confusion and federal threats of penalties. Air Travel Meltdown: Over 5,000 flights were delayed or canceled as the shutdown sidelined air traffic controllers and a blizzard slammed Chicago. Bryan quips, "Might be time to trade in your plane ticket for a horse and buggy." Stimulus Checks and 50-Year Mortgages: The White House floated $2,000 stimulus payments funded by tariff revenue, though the legality of those tariffs is now before the Supreme Court. Trump officials are also exploring 50-year mortgages and partial government ownership of homebuilders to lower housing costs — a plan critics call "socialism in disguise." Minneapolis Election Exposes Somali Clan Politics: A near-upset in Minneapolis revealed how imported clan rivalries from Somalia are shaping U.S. elections. Ilhan Omar blamed her own clan's betrayal for a socialist ally's loss. Bryan warns, "We're not melting anymore — we're balkanizing." New York's Marxist Mayor and Chicago's Chaos: NYC's new mayor Zohran Mamdani quoted Marxist Eugene Debs in his victory speech and declared his city "belongs to the foreigners who built it." Meanwhile, in Chicago, DHS agents came under gunfire during a deportation operation, showing how Operation Midway Blitz is meeting armed resistance. Deep State Investigations Expand: The Blaze identified a possible suspect in the January 6th pipe bomb case — a former Capitol Police officer turned CIA employee — while a grand jury in Florida subpoenaed John Brennan, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page over the Obama-era Crossfire Hurricane probe. Trump Targets Meatpacking Monopolies: The DOJ is investigating whether the "Big Four" packers — Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and Marfrig — are price-fixing and harming U.S. ranchers. Bryan says the move is part of a broader White House effort to reconnect with its working-class base ahead of the 2026 midterms.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: government shutdown 2025, Obamacare subsidies HSA plan, Supreme Court food stamp ruling, flight cancellations storm Chicago, $2000 stimulus tariffs Supreme Court, 50-year mortgage housing policy, Ilhan Omar Somali clan politics Minneapolis, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor, Chicago ICE shooting Operation Midway Blitz, John Brennan Crossfire Hurricane subpoena, Trump meatpacker monopoly DOJ investigation

This year's Grammy's is a STARK contrast to last year's Pop Girl Summit. The nominees this year, particularly in the Big Four, are far more dynamic and representative of music from all across the board.

Big Four at Four - CFB, State Money, Leads, World Series Recap, CFB Talk, Jesse Merrick with Raiders Talk

Most entrepreneurs think hiring a Chief Financial Officer is only for big corporations, but that could not be further from the truth. Many small businesses are losing massive profits simply because they don't truly know their numbers. What if you could hire a part-time CFO to help you see what's really driving profit, cash flow, and scalability—without the full-time salary? In this episode, we sit down with Heather Parsons, a former Big Four accountant turned real estate investor and founder of a fractional CFO firm, to break down exactly what that means for founders and investors. Heather explains how most business owners rely on bookkeepers who look backward, while CFOs help you look forward—building dashboards, forecasts, and cash flow systems that lead to smarter decisions and consistent growth. You'll learn when to bring one in, how to know if you're ready, what it costs, and how this role can transform your business from reactive to proactive. If you're making money but still feel stuck in the weeds, guessing your numbers, or scaling without clarity, this conversation will show you how a fractional CFO can turn chaos into confidence and give you the financial control you've been missing. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the escalating showdown between Trump's deportation teams and Democrat-run sanctuary cities, a socialist Senate candidate in Maine with Nazi tattoos, and Trump's clash with America's ranchers over beef prices.   Democrats Shield Violent Illegals: Nine illegal aliens from African nations were arrested in New York for crimes including robbery, assault, and drug trafficking. Local Democrats, including Mayor Eric Adams and socialist Zohran Mamdani, condemned the arrests as “authoritarian theatrics.” In Los Angeles, an activist teacher warned that “ICE isn't the only one with guns,” while Illinois launched a hotline for citizens to report unmarked federal vehicles. Bryan calls it “a coordinated resistance between politicians, activists, and cartels.”   Democrat Senate Candidate Exposed: In Maine, Democrat hopeful Graham Platner apologized for a Nazi tattoo but not for training Antifa and socialist gun clubs in paramilitary tactics. Endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Platner claims his behavior stemmed from PTSD. Bryan warns, “Democrats say they fight fascism, but they're fine with it when it's their fascism.”   Trump vs. America's Ranchers: The President told ranchers to lower beef prices, crediting his tariffs for their recent profits. But Bryan explains that droughts, rising feed costs, screw-worm outbreaks, and market monopolies by the Big Four packers — Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and Marfrig — are the real culprits. He spotlights a new Nebraska rancher-owned processing plant as a hopeful sign for fair pricing and independence from corporate control.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump deportations sanctuary cities, New York ICE arrests African illegals, Eric Adams Zohran Mamdani resistance, Los Angeles ICE protest threats, Graham Platner Nazi tattoo Antifa training, Bernie Sanders endorsement, Trump ranchers beef prices tariffs, Big Four meatpackers monopoly, Nebraska rancher meat plant
