Today's episode expands on last week’s episode by explaining why I think Jesus might "double down" on his "woe" for today's Christian lawyers. The reason: lawyers are taught not to believe in law and that can hinder others in coming to know Christ. That was true of my experience as lawyer, legislator, and lobbyist. Blackstone, Kuyper, Holmes, and Einstein help prove my thesis.

Send us a textStart with a simple audit: what did your last 24 hours reveal about what you truly value? We walk through a practical reset—putting God first, then spouse and family—so your calendar aligns with your convictions. From there, we open Colossians 3 for plainspoken marriage guidance and let 1 John 3 challenge our love to become action, not talk. If faith is real, it should shape how we treat our neighbor, how we spend our money, and how we order our homes.We ground today's anxieties in enduring wisdom. Psalm 122 points us toward worship and peace in the city, while Proverbs 29 warns against stubborn hearts that refuse correction. We remember Boatswain's Mate Robert M. Blair, whose Medal of Honor citation for “cool courage” under fire illustrates how trust in God steels ordinary people for extraordinary moments. That courage extends to cultural clarity: despite modern efforts to cast America as a pagan echo of Rome, the moral sources that formed the founders—Scripture, Blackstone, Montesquieu—bear a Christian imprint. Judge Nathaniel Freeman's early remarks reinforce that aim for a Christian republic with biblical authority in civic life.The heart of our reflection is Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation. He names blessings amid civil war, urges penitence for national sins, and calls the people to thank the “Most High God” while seeking healing and unity. His words carry weight now, when polarization and moral drift threaten peace. Gratitude without repentance is thin; repentance without action is hollow. We make the case that daily obedience—time well spent, marriages guarded, neighbors loved—becomes the seed of public renewal. Join us as we trade vague outrage for concrete faithfulness and ask God to steady our steps.If this resonates, share the episode with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss a moment.

Het is officieel: ABN Amro koopt NIBC van Blackstone. Met de overname vergroot ABN Amro vooral zijn aandeel op de Nederlandse hypotheekmarkt. De bank boekte in het derde kwartaal een winst die hoger was dan analisten hadden verwacht. Ceo Marguerite Bérard zegt dat de overname geen ‘beschermingsconstructie’ is tegen buitenlandse interesse in ABN Amro. Wat het wél is, bespreken we met bankenredacteur Mathijs Rotteveel. Lees: ABN Amro neemt voor €960 mln NIBC over van Blackstone & ABN Amro laat met overname NIBC weer eens zijn tanden zien Spotta en BusinessPost proberen de wettelijke bezorging van post los te weken bij PostNL. Ze hebben zich gemeld bij het ministerie van Economische Zaken, nu PostNL zegt af te willen van de universele postdienst. Met DHL zijn gesprekken gevoerd om aan te sluiten bij het consortium, maar die bezorger vindt dat nu ‘niet opportuun’. Ook het ministerie van Economische Zaken houdt een aanbesteding af.

The full notes and charts are here.I can't get a sense of whether this will scale up. It keeps seeming like it has to; like this is the Achilles heel. I am not getting why it's being made so obvious that he's into pre-teens and underage teenagers right in front of everyone's faces; this is obviously a form of moral torture. The disclosures that Jon Stewart pulled together in July were vexing, including deposition testimony and comments on Howard Stern indicating that a girl 12-years-old was too young but that was his limit. He said this ON AIR in the studio.Stewart pulled this together in July; I saw it about two weeks ago. He is sourcing his documents. I lean toward trusting Jon Stewart as he was the one public presenter, though retired at the time, to question the covid shots, on the Colbert show, and Steve understandably did not appear happy about that. Notably Comedy Central and CBS are now part of the same company (Paramount). Black Rock, State Street and Vanguard all hold large portions of Paramount. So all the “hedge fund parties” are represented here. Well, except for Blackstone.---I assume those who are stage managing the Epstein scenario are the same ones that did Kirk and Butler. (I think the evidence is strong that Erika Frantzve Kirk's nonprofit was involved in child trafficking, though it really was hers in name only.) The three emails (released by Democrats in congress) are here, including one from a political strategy discussion with author Michal Wolff (who allegedly received Epstein's final message before his claimed 2019 death and who wrote three books about Trump claiming Epstein as a cloaked source).From this email you can see the strategy that surrounds Epstein and his handlers, which is kompromat, a Stalin-era KGB word for “compromising material.” That seemed to be the whole Epstein game. But I suspect there is far more; that Epstein is the coverup and not the crime.So the question is, does this pan out? The astrology says this is the thing that ultimately will. Under the rules of litigation and investigative journalism, the emails are primary source materials reportedly released by a government authority and presumed to be authentic; but that is a legal presumption. It can be challenged but it's difficult to refute.Here is the follow up story about 20,000 emails released by Republicans a few hours later. This seems like a pissing match to see who will ultimately take him out.Thank you for visiting. You are listening to Planet Waves.

Een paar maanden geleden was het nog ABN Amro zelf die op de snijtafel lag. Het Belgische KBC zou het willen overnemen. Maar nu zijn de rollen omgedraaid, en is ABN degene die het opslokken doet. Voor een kleine miljard euro nemen ze het Haagse NIBC over van eigenaar Blackstone. Een kans om ABN Amro sterker te maken in de Nederlandse markt. En zeker geen beschermingsconstructie tegen een mogelijke overname door KBC, zegt topvrouw Marguerite Bérard. Maar of ze de waarheid spreekt? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. We hebben het ook over de S&P 500. Die heeft voorlopig z'n beste jaren wel even gehad, denkt zakenbank Goldman Sachs. Ze denken dat de Amerikaanse index een mager decennium tegemoet gaat, met maar zo'n 6 procent stijging per jaar. Daarmee zou de VS bij de slechtst presterende regio's horen. Verder hoor je over het volgende topdiner in het Witte Huis. Daar komen hoge piefen van Wall Street langs bij Donald Trump om te luisteren naar wat zijn wensen zijn. En we vertellen je over een topman die al naar die wensen heeft geluisterd, en daarom met radicale eisen voor zijn eigen leveranciers komt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reino Unido celebra con gran éxito una nueva subasta de deuda indexada a la inflación, con vencimiento en 2038, en una sesión donde el FTSE100 se acerca a los 10.000 puntos y en medio de la tormenta política que envuelve al premier Keir Starmer y a la canciller de Finanzas, Rachel Reeves, a punto de presentar el Presupuesto que no parece que vaya a contentar a nadie. La inflación en Alemania se relaja una décima en octubre, hasta el 2,3%, tras dos repuntes consecutivos. La subyacente, sin cambios, en el 2,8%. En clave empresarial, ABN Amro acuerda con Blackstone la compra del NIBC Bank por 960 millones de euros; Infineon presenta unos resultados que gustan a los inversores: sale de los números rojos y gana 454 millones en su cuarto trimestre fiscal y RWE roza máximos de 15 años tras confirmar previsiones y la venta de un centro de datos en Reino Unido. Entrevistaremos a Javier García Cañete, Director de Programas de la Fundación Botín, para hablar del programa Talento Solidario y de cómo más de cuatro millones de personas trabjaan o son voluntarias en más de 28.000 ONGs. Y en la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados analizaremos la actualidad con Javier Domínguez, de aurigabonos.es, e Iñigo Petit, ceo de iDen Global.

Don and Tom tackle investor “magical thinking,” especially the belief that private equity, non-traded REITs, and other illiquid “exclusive” investments offer hidden superior returns. They walk through Jason Zweig's recent reporting on a Florida pension fund that locked up money, paid higher fees, and earned under 1% a year. The conversation underscores why liquidity, transparency, and diversification matter far more than complexity or exclusivity. The episode also features listener questions on retirement withdrawal sequencing for a $9M portfolio, evaluating cash balance plans, and deciding between traditional vs. Roth 401(k) contributions.

Send us a textA single Saturday in 1966 changed everything. When a young Ed Rahill paused lawn duty to hear the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the radio, endurance racing planted a seed that would grow into record-setting coast-to-coast drives, a fearless corporate career, and a blueprint for living with grit. We go beyond the spectacle to explore how planning, patience, and partnership carry you through the stretches no one posts on highlight reels.Ed maps the unlikely bridge between CFO and president roles and the “last great American road race,” weaving in a vivid history of endurance—from the Pony Express and thousand-mile cattle drives to the first cross-country auto challenge in 1904. The stories are cinematic: arrests in multiple states, an all-points bulletin, clandestine support from GM engineers, and the relentless math of speed, fuel, and fatigue. Yet the real takeaway is strategic: choose the right teammate, build redundancy, respect the road, and recover fast when everything breaks at once.At the heart of this conversation is a promise. Raised by women who sacrificed their dreams, Ed vowed to break that pattern and treat life as a relay. The baton metaphor runs through every chapter—start strong, absorb the hits, and hand off hard-won wisdom so the next runner goes farther. He shares the razor‑thin moment when a handshake with Blackstone saved his company and his team, reminding us that survival is often the doorway to impact. The message is simple and powerful: you have the right to try, the duty to prepare, and the calling to pass your gains forward.If stories of resilience, leadership under fire, and American car culture light you up, you'll find both adrenaline and guidance here.

Apollo Global Management has transformed itself from a traditional private equity giant into an insurance-fueled credit powerhouse—thanks to its acquisition of life annuity issuer Athene. CEO Marc Rowan makes a bold bet that an asset-heavy model, which is backed by hundreds of billions in long-term insurance liabilities, can drive repeatable, superior returns and propel Apollo's assets under management to $1.5 trillion. However, public markets award Apollo a multitude on its earnings that is far lower than asset-light peers like Blackstone, which highlights important trade-offs. Harvard Business School professor George Serafeim joins host Brian Kenny to discuss the questions raised by the case, Apollo Global Management, and explore what Apollo's transformation reveals about business-model innovation and risk management in today's rapidly evolving private markets ecosystem, and what it means to be a modern investment firm.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has been making headlines in the past several days, reclaiming his status as a major player in music, hospitality, and business. The biggest story out of Texas is Timberlake's upcoming expansion of The Twelve Thirty Club, his luxury Nashville venue, into Downtown Austin. Austin's CultureMap broke the news that Timberlake, in partnership with Sam Fox, will renovate a historic 100-year-old post office for the $30 million, four-level project—a move described as one of the most significant hospitality investments in recent Austin history. Timberlake announced his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting Austin's deep connection to live music and promising a venue where music and dining blend seamlessly. This club will feature a main Supper Club floor with live performances and dining, a late-night Speakeasy lounge for DJs, a private members club that overlooks shows, and an intimate private event space. ATXtoday and FSR Magazine also covered the announcement, emphasizing Timberlake's intent to create an original experience for Austin while preserving the building's history. Local buzz predicts this development will solidify Timberlake's influence far beyond music, turning him into a Texas hospitality mogul.In his music career, Timberlake is still in high demand internationally. Recent ticket sales and news from timberlake-baku.com confirmed a major appearance at Baku Crystal Hall in 2025 as part of his Forget Tomorrow tour, a concert hyped as a top music event for Europe that year. Fans and media are watching closely for setlists and possible surprise collaborations, signaling that Timberlake retains formidable draw on the live stage.Business news continues to swirl around Timberlake's music rights and catalog deals in the complex world of publishing. Wikipedia and recent business reporting detailed the creation of Recognition Music Group, a merger and rebrand following Blackstone's acquisition of Hipgnosis Songs Fund, which previously purchased Timberlake's song catalog outright in 2022. Now, Sony Music Publishing has acquired the US publishing and administration business that includes Timberlake's catalog as part of Recognition's latest strategic moves. These deals secure Timberlake's legacy, with his works generating long-term cash flows and solidifying his relevance for decades.On the health and personal front, AOL reports Timberlake is taking a temporary break to focus on recovery, citing ongoing health concerns—but specifics remain private. Social media chatter is mostly supportive, with fans expressing sympathy and encouragement, though no official posts from Timberlake himself have appeared in recent days.No controversy, legal drama, or unexpected scandals have broken regarding Timberlake's business or personal life this week. The focus remains squarely on his entrepreneurial ventures and sustained musical influence. If successful, Austin's Twelve Thirty Club launch might rival his Nashville flagship, shaping both his biography and Austin's cultural landscape. For now, the timeline, major investments, and Timberlake's level of involvement are what industry insiders and fans alike are watching most closely.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode of the Debtwired podcast, Blackstone's Rick Campbell joins Melina Chalkia, Debtwire's primary market reporter for North America, to discuss how the landscape for infrastructure financing is evolving.In this episode, Campbell talks about the shift of infrastructure finance away from traditional banks and toward private credit, alongside a growing demand for power and a global push for digitization. He explains how themes like AI, data centers and renewable energy are converging, with data-center developers starting to build their own generation capacity. Campbell breaks down how these project financing deals are structured and how Blackstone's “corporate solutions” strategy exemplifies that approach.Campbell is a Senior Managing Director with Blackstone Credit and Insurance (BXCI) based in Houston. He is involved with originating and executing investments in the energy transition, renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure sectors. Before joining Blackstone in 2022, Campbell worked as a Managing Director in the Global Infrastructure Finance Group at Citi for nearly 15 years.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos and guest host Miriam Gottfried discuss the Supreme Court case challenging President Trump's reciprocal tariffs and how that's playing out in the markets. Next, they look at affordability as the winning message from recent elections, such as Zohran Mamdani's successful campaign to be the next mayor of New York City. Plus, they explore the recent drama in the private credit market after executives at Blackstone downplayed the “cockroach” fears sparked by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.  After the break, Miriam is joined by Michael Nathanson and Robert Fishman, senior media analysts at MoffettNathanson, to break down the potential Paramount Skydance and Warner Discovery merger. First, the analysts explain why global scale is a necessity for traditional media companies to compete with Disney, and big tech giants like Netflix, Amazon and Google's YouTube. Later, the analysts discuss whether a merger will follow historical examples and fail to generate value for shareholders or whether this time truly is different. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

I fear that the entire political Right is going to waste its focus on redistricting and ending the filibuster in the hopes of changing the trajectory.  While I don't oppose either proposition, neither of them will actually change the outcome of the election, because we have slept through primaries for years. We simply don't have enough conservatives to win a national election or accomplish good things even if Republicans gain a tenuous majority. What we need to do is focus on red-state governor elections. We begin that process today by interviewing Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), a Freedom Caucus congressman running for governor in South Carolina. He is promising to go to war with the establishment Republicans and bring an entire new approach to the state. He will focus on broad quality-of-life issues rather than handing the state over to crony corporations under the false pretense of economic development. Finally, in that vein, I delve into the effort of BlackRock and Blackstone to purchase public utilities and work with data centers to strip us of our energy independence. If we don't elect people like Norman in red states, we will lose our red-state land and infrastructure to the globalist networks.      Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we explore a series of groundbreaking advancements and strategic collaborations that promise to transform drug development and patient care.In the autoimmune space, Boehringer Ingelheim has made a significant move by securing a $570 million agreement with CDR-Life. This deal centers on a trispecific antibody, a novel therapeutic approach that targets multiple pathways simultaneously, potentially revolutionizing treatments for autoimmune diseases. Boehringer's commitment to these cutting-edge modalities highlights their strategy to leverage novel technologies for more effective therapeutic solutions.Similarly, Celltrion has entered a $744 million collaboration with Kaigene, focusing on two preclinical autoimmune drugs. This partnership marks Celltrion's strategic shift from biosimilars to novel biologics, positioning the company at the forefront of biologic therapeutics. By investing in early-stage research, Celltrion aims to introduce transformative therapies for autoimmune conditions, showcasing the industry's willingness to bet on groundbreaking scientific advancements.In gene editing, Azalea Therapeutics is gaining attention with its focus on permanent genome editing using a dual-vector approach. Backed by $82 million in funding and support from CRISPR pioneer Jennifer Doudna, Azalea is poised to develop potentially curative solutions through single-dose treatments. The credibility lent by a Nobel laureate adds anticipation to their research outcomes, with the potential to significantly impact gene therapy.Shifting focus to clinical trials, Sarepta Therapeutics faces challenges after missing the primary endpoint in its confirmatory trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy drugs. Despite this setback, Sarepta is pursuing full FDA approval, emphasizing the complex interplay between clinical data and regulatory strategies. This situation underscores the critical importance of robust confirmatory trials in securing drug approvals and ensuring patient access to new therapies.Merck is making strategic moves in oncology by regaining full control over an early-phase asset and securing $700 million from Blackstone for its oncology pipeline. This dual focus on asset acquisition and financial fortification reflects Merck's aggressive growth strategy aimed at expanding its cancer treatment offerings.Emerging from stealth mode, Neok Bio has secured a $75 million investment to advance bispecific antibody-drug conjugates into clinical trials. These bispecific ADCs represent the forefront of targeted cancer therapies, aiming for precision targeting of cancer cells while minimizing off-target effects. Neok Bio's progress could significantly enhance oncology treatment paradigms through improved therapeutic indices.Turning to regulatory landscapes, Teva's recall of over half-a-million bottles of prazosin hydrochloride due to potential carcinogenic impurities highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring drug safety and quality control within manufacturing processes. Such recalls underscore the critical importance of maintaining high standards in pharmaceutical production.In broader industry developments, we see dynamic trends where scientific innovation meets strategic business decisions and regulatory considerations. The potential impact on patient care is profound, with breakthroughs in autoimmune treatments, gene editing technologies, and targeted cancer therapies poised to alter therapeutic landscapes significantly.UCB has achieved another milestone with FDA approval for Kygevvi, an ultra-rare disease medication marking their third approval in rare conditions within three years.

**Discussion begins at 7:10**The Life and Death Brigade on Gilmore Girls, Chuck Bass being kidnapped by a secret society during a college visit to Yale, Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker joining a dangerous secret society in the 2000 movie The Skulls... These are all pop culture references to one of the most famous secret societies on one of the most elite college campuses in the US.  This society, which selects 15 members annually from one of the most exclusive campuses in the world, was allegedly inspired by the Freemasons.  It is rumored that after graduation, members known as Bonesmen, are placed in high ranking positions in government, banking, law, education, and intelligence agencies to shape policy after graduation.  The 2,600 Patriarchs, or members who have since graduated, include 3 former presidents - President William Taft, George HW Bush, and George W Bush; leaders in business - like the founder of FedEx, founder of Time, Life, and Fortune Magazines, the CEO of Blackstone, and dynasties like the Rockefeller and Ford families; as well was leaders in finance, politicians on the state and federal level, high ranking government advisors, supreme court justices, University professors/presidents, journalists, athletes, and Hollywood stars. The 2004 presidential election actually pitted 2 Patriarchs – George W Bush and John Kerry, against each other, with both refusing to comment when asked about their membership.  What are the odds that the last 2 men standing in a battle for leadership of the US are both members of this secret society?  Is this secret society really a breeding ground for a powerful network of people that are secretly running the US?  Is it a branch of a larger network that with European ties manipulating us from the inside? Today we are going to learn about the secret society, and decide if it's just a club for high achieving college kids, or if there is something more sinister at play.Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Ben Brady breaks down Blackstone's latest investment outlook and what it means for the real estate industry in the era of artificial intelligence.While AI continues to dominate global conversations about disruption, Ben explores a fresh perspective—how Blackstone's “picks and shovels” philosophy reveals where the real changes will occur. Drawing parallels between the airline industry's innovation-versus-profit paradox and today's AI boom, he unpacks which sectors are likely to be revolutionized and which will quietly fade away.More importantly, Ben brings it home to real estate: identifying the rule-based businesses that are most at risk of automation—like title, escrow, mortgage, and appraisal—and why the agent relationship remains irreplaceable. His key takeaway? Real estate is not a rules-based business; it's a human-based one.If you've been wondering how AI will shape your role, this episode will reset your mindset on where the real opportunities lie—and remind you that the agent-client relationship is the ultimate advantage no algorithm can replicate.Timestamps & Key Topics[00:00:00] – Blackstone's AI Investment Outlook Explained[00:01:15] – The “Picks and Shovels” Analogy: Who Profits from Disruption[00:03:20] – Why the Airline Industry is a Cautionary Tale for AI[00:04:50] – Blackstone's Focus on Chips, Data, and Energy[00:05:40] – Rule-Based Industries and Their Risk of Automation[00:07:10] – Can Real Estate Be Automated?

How can I stop losing money on construction costs and control my rehab budget? In this episode of the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, host Ricardo Rosales welcomes construction powerhouse Rotty Garzilazo. Rotty, a seasoned builder who's navigated multiple recessions and worked with major hedge funds (like Blackstone-owned Invitation Homes), shares the real reason investors struggle with rehabs: they don't know the business of construction. We dive into the critical steps investors must master before they even choose a contractor. What you will learn in this episode: The Blackstone Blueprint: How Roddy reverse-engineered the processes, KPIs, and budget scopes from large institutional investors to create a world-class management system for his own company. The Biggest Budget Killer: Why 99% of investor rehab budgets are flawed, and how to account for the hidden risks (seasonal changes, time of year, market fluctuations) that blow up project timelines and costs. The Contractor Mindset: Understand why a $30,000 contractor fee gets you a C-level team, and how to structure deals to attract A-level talent who operate on a margin, not just a markup. The Five Must-Do's: Roddy outlines the essential five principles of construction success—focusing on the ecosystem and people management—that every investor should know. Ready to stop guessing on rehab costs and manage construction like a pro?
