After a powerful run in metals, renewed inflation pressure, and a shifting Federal Reserve backdrop, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, step back to connect the dots between markets, policy, and positioning. Fresh off being named one of the Top 23 podcasts for financial advisors for the second year in a row, the conversation moves fluidly from gold's breakout and the return of the debasement trade to the growing uncertainty around the next Fed chair and what it means for rates, inflation, and risk assets.They explore why commodities are flashing signals that don't align with disinflation narratives, how productivity optimism collides with fiscal reality, and why global earnings strength continues to support equities even as leadership rotates. Along the way, they unpack the implications of a potential government shutdown, policy-driven margin pressure across sectors, and why markets tend to move past the headline faster than most expect.Key Takeaways: • Gold's message is getting louder: Rising commodity prices, fiscal deficits, and rate pressure are reinforcing the case for metals as portfolio protection • The Fed chair race matters more than headlines: Rick Rieder's emergence highlights the tension between productivity optimism and persistent inflation risks • Inflation remains sticky under the surface: Core services and commodity strength challenge the idea of a smooth glide back to 2% • Global earnings are doing the heavy lifting: Companies with international exposure continue to outpace domestically focused peers • Policy noise doesn't derail trends: Shutdown risks and political uncertainty create volatility, but fundamentals keep asserting themselves—Check the 23 Top Financial Advisor Podcasts To Listen To In 2026:https://kitc.es/4pWNyA9Jump to:0:00 Cold Open, Awards, And Snow Jokes2:35 Gold And Silver Surge Explained8:40 The Debasement Trade And Inflation14:50 Global Central Banks Rotate To Gold19:30 Japan, Yields, Yen, And Risk Assets23:40 The Fed Chair Horse Race Heats Up30:20 Productivity, The 1990s, And Why Today's Different38:20 Fed Path: Holds, Politics, And Gold Tailwinds42:30 January Barometer, Tech Lags, And Breadth48:40 Equal-Weight Tech, Financials, And Policy Risk53:40 Earnings Setup: Mega-Cap vs The 493Connect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

The Agency Brief Note ♻️ THE NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT (1934) (Cold Open) "In 1934, Congress looked at a few gangsters with Tommy guns and decided to put every future gun owner on probation… forever… without ever proving we did anything wrong." (The Brief) THE ORIGIN STORY: PANIC AND OPPORTUNISM The Setup: Prohibition ends in 1933. Federal agencies face budget cuts. They need a new war. They choose "The War on Crime." The Hook: DOJ uses the St. Valentine's Day Massacre to sell a "gangster gun" crisis. The Bait & Switch: The NFA was pitched as a tax on "criminal weapons," but the original bill attempted to register all handguns. The NRA (back when they were Fudds) helped kill the handgun portion but let the rest slide. Crucial Detail: SBR/SBS restrictions were only in the bill to prevent people from hiding pistols. When pistols were removed, Congress left the SBR rules in. We are regulating barrel length today because of a 1934 legislative error. THE MECHANISM: A BAN DISGUISED AS A TAX The "Poll Tax": They couldn't ban guns (2A exists), so they used the Taxing Power. The Cost: $200 in 1934. Inflation Adjustment: That is roughly $4,500 today. Intent: It was an economic ban designed to ensure only the wealthy could own modern firepower. The Registry: The true goal was the NFRTR (National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record). Registration is always the prerequisite for confiscation. THE LEGAL COVER-UP: U.S. V. MILLER (1939) The Supreme Court case that upheld the NFA was a setup. The Fix: The defendant, Jack Miller, was dead before the decision was handed down. His court-appointed attorney did not show up to argue the case. The Ruling: The Government argued unopposed that a sawed-off shotgun had no "militia utility." The Court agreed, solely because no one was there to tell them otherwise. THE MODERN IMPACT & REGULATORY CREEP 1986 Hughes Amendment: Proved the danger of registries. Congress used the NFA list to ban all new machine guns for civilians. Note: The Hughes Amendment passed on a fraudulent voice vote where the "Nays" clearly had it, but the Speaker pushed it through. ATF Power Grabs: The NFA definitions are vague. This allows the ATF to write law without Congress (e.g., Pistol Braces, Bump Stocks, Triggers). Culture War: It normalized the "Two-Tier" system. The wealthy buy what they want; the poor get what they are given. CONSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS (POST-BRUEN) The Vulnerability: Under the Bruen test (Text, History, Tradition), the NFA is on death's door. The History: There is zero historical tradition of the Founding Fathers taxing the ownership of standard arms or creating a federal list of owners. The Argument: The government claims these weapons are "dangerous and unusual." We argue they are only unusual because the government has spent 90 years threatening to put us in prison for owning them. WLS is Lifestyle Cold Weather and Medical Prep for Vehicles Amid Michigan Pile-Up ♻️ Article or segment discussing vehicle preparation for cold weather, including medical supplies, in light of a major pile-up incident in Michigan. Submitted by Shawn. Availability: Focuses on practical advice for winter driving safety and emergency preparedness following the Michigan multi-vehicle collision. Special: Combines real-world Michigan pile-up example with actionable vehicle medical and cold weather prep tips. Going Ballistic St. Paul Man Stands Guard with Rifle After ICE Sightings ♻️ A man in St. Paul reportedly stood guard with a rifle following sightings of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents in the area, highlighting tensions around immigration enforcement and 2nd Amendment rights. New York Targets Polymer80 Seller, Life Sentence ♻️ New York authorities are pursuing severe legal action against a seller of Polymer80 ghost gun kits, seeking a life sentence, highlighting aggressive enforcement against unserialized firearm components. U.S. Civilian Gun Ownership Reaches 500 Million ♻️ Article reports that civilian gun ownership in the United States has surpassed 500 million firearms, highlighting the scale of private armament amid ongoing debates on gun rights and statistics. Some Anti-ICE Protesters in Minnesota Are Openly Carrying: What Does the Law Say? ♻️ Article discusses anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota openly carrying firearms and examines the relevant state laws on open carry. Everytown Is Lying About Impact of National Reciprocity, Again ♻️ Article accuses Everytown for Gun Safety of misrepresenting the effects of national concealed carry reciprocity legislation, claiming their arguments exaggerate risks and ignore benefits for law-abiding gun owners. ATF/DEA Merger Appears DOA ♻️ Reports indicate that plans to merge the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are effectively dead on arrival (DOA), halting a proposed consolidation of federal law enforcement agencies. NC Lawmakers Dragging Their Feet on Constitutional Carry ♻️ North Carolina lawmakers are delaying progress on constitutional carry legislation, frustrating gun rights advocates amid ongoing debates over permitless carry.

What can Film Noir teach us about character arcs and audience engagement? In this two part series, Mel and Chas use Noir (the genre) as a lens to interrogate flawed characters. How can characters doing reprehensible things still engage audiences? How can you ensure representation isn't endorsement? And whether these characters undergo transformative arcs, or simply reveal their true natures? Part 1 focuses on two (now classic) noirs: DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE LONG GOODBYE. While Part 2 looks at two more contemporary examples DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESs and WOMAN OF THE HOUR. As always: SPOILERS ABOUND and all copyright material used under fair use for educational purposes.

This week we keep things intentionally low-effort and high-chaos by drafting the Billboard year-end #1 songs from 1980 through 1999. We each build a ten-song playlist from a shared pool, knowing that once a song is picked, it's gone forever. Along the way we uncover timeless masterpieces, generational blind spots, slow-dance trauma, and more than a few baffling chart decisions. By the end, it's less about “best songs of all time” and more about what pop culture we survived — and what it says about the decades that made us.Cold Open & Life UpdatesEden survives Iowa weather whiplash, including snowmelt, wind advisories, and dogs who refuse to come inside.We check in on end-of-year fatigue, weddings on the horizon, and the general desire to just get to January.What We've Been Checking OutEden scores a surprise manga haul via Reddit, including:Kase-san and… — a quiet, funny, wholesome romance that desperately wants its characters to communicate.Chainsmoker Cat — gross, chaotic, and deeply committed to depicting the world's worst anthropomorphic cat girl.Continued time in Where Winds Meet, including discovering that joining the “hot evil people” sect requires in-game marriage… followed by divorce.Peter continues slowly working through The Three-Body Problem and Gödel, Escher, Bach.A brief dive into habit-building via the new Atomic Habits workbook.Music check-in includes Archspire's new single “Carrion Ladder” and the eternal joy of Apple Music Replay actually getting things right.Gaming includes Ball Pit, Megabonk, and the looming temptation of finally committing to Baldur's Gate 3.The Main Event: Billboard #1 Draft (1980–1999)We draft songs snake-style, locking each other out as we go.Early rounds are stacked with undeniable classics:Whitney Houston's “I Will Always Love You”Prince's “When Doves Cry”Blondie's “Call Me”Cher's “Believe”George Michael emerges as an '80s powerhouse with multiple entries.The generational divide shows up fast:Peter leans heavily '80s.Eden lives firmly in the '90s (for better and worse).We acknowledge slow-dance staples that were emotionally formative whether we liked them or not.The middle rounds reveal just how strange pop history can be when viewed year-by-year.By the later picks, we're openly throwing ourselves on grenades:The Macarena is drafted out of mercy.Multiple songs are chosen purely because something has to be.We question how certain cultural touchstones (My Heart Will Go On, Aaliyah, Bone Thugs) somehow missed the top spot in their years.Big TakeawaysBillboard #1 does not mean “best song.”The '80s age better than the '90s in pop memory (and fashion).Nostalgia is selective, and pop charts are cruel.Drafting music is a great way to discover what you genuinely love — and what you merely survived.

A rare split is opening inside the Federal Reserve. Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist, and Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Wealth, dig into what that tension really means as growth projections move higher and rate cuts keep coming. They break down the widening gap between market expectations and the Fed's own outlook, the mixed signals coming from the latest dot plot, and what dissenting votes reveal about how policymakers are reading inflation and a softening labor market. At the same time, they look to the areas gaining strength, including cyclicals, global markets, commodities and the latest AI rotation, to understand how a divided Fed is shaping positioning as investors look ahead to 2026.Key Takeaways:• The Fed is diverging internally: The dot plots and dissents show widening disagreement on how aggressively to cut• Markets are pricing a different path: Traders expect more easing than the Fed, especially beyond 2026• Growth projections are rising: The Fed now sees stronger 2025–2026 GDP despite ongoing cuts• Labor-market signals are weakening: Falling quits and slowing hiring increase pressure on policymakers• Cyclical strength continues: Industrials, materials, and developed international markets are pushing the rally forwardJump to:0:00 - Cold Open, Holidays, And Setup2:45 - AI Leadership Rotates And Market Breadth8:50 - Cyclicals Lead, Global Rally Builds14:40 - Europe, Developed Markets, And Industrials20:55 - IPOs, Sentiment, And Bull Market Signals27:00 - The Fed Cuts: Dots, Dissent, And Markets35:20 -Neutral Rate, Long-Run Inflation, And 202641:50 - Press Conference Takeaways And Labor Risks48:10 - Gold Breakout And Commodities Pulse53:30 - Labor Market: JOLTS, Quits, And WagesConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

"The one I thought you were gonna say is: she's the enemy." For years, Jay didn't just lie to me about his addiction. He lied to himself about WHO I was. And those lies kept him stuck in porn for decades. The 5 lies addicts believe about their wives: She's the enemy - Anyone who sees a crack in the mask must be stopped and hushed She's gonna leave anyway - So why bother trying? Might as well do whatever I want She doesn't care about me - I'm not that important to her (justification to use) She's too angry to handle the truth - When really, he feared rejection and being alone She won't meet my expectations - Unspoken demands that turn into resentment and reasons to look elsewhere The shocking part? Jay admits: "I am an abuser, and abusers dominate. And that's what I did." He made me easy to dominate. He sufficiently shut me up. He turned me from a mirror (reflecting his behavior) into a shield (protecting him from truth). Why this matters: These beliefs aren't about you - they're about attachment issues and fear Most addicts don't even know they believe these lies The goal was never sex - it was avoiding being truly known Without consistent boundaries, addicts will keep crossing lines For partners: If he sees you as the enemy for pointing out flaws, if he believes you'll leave no matter what, if he resents you for not meeting unspoken expectations - these are the lies keeping him stuck. For addicts: Your wife could have made recovery so much easier. But your false beliefs about her became your excuse to keep using. The truth? You should have taken your needs to God, not porn. What lie did your addict believe about you? Comment below.

Kevin O'Leary is a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and television personality best known as "Mr. Wonderful" on Shark Tank. Before he became "Mr. Wonderful," he was building software companies and collaborating with innovators like Steve Jobs — experiences that sharpened his belief that clarity, product focus, and disciplined execution separate real businesses from the noise. After selling his first company in one of the biggest tech acquisitions of its era, O'Leary launched O'Leary Ventures, a diversified investment firm that backs founders who value data over ego and performance over posturing. His portfolio now stretches across consumer goods, technology, manufacturing, and financial products, reflecting his philosophy that a good deal is simple, scalable, and rooted in numbers that actually add up. Known for his blunt honesty and zero-fluff communication style, O'Leary has become a global voice for business clarity in a world drowning in hype. Both on and off the show, he forces entrepreneurs to think sharper, defend their decisions, and understand exactly why a deal is — or isn't — worth doing.  Timestamps: 00:00:00 Cold Open 00:00:10 Title Sequence 00:00:29 Show Notes VO 00:01:15 Intro Into Interview 00:44:57 Outro

Step into Episode 188 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Hunu founders Deyton and Breaben to break down how two former college wide receivers turned their love of soda into a superfood sports drink built for athletes and students. From juicing in a tiny kitchen and running late-night “chemistry labs” to navigating manufacturing, testing, and regulations, they share the real story behind creating a soda that's actually made from whole foods and designed to support recovery, immunity, and everyday performance.​From patience and integrity in formulation to the pressures of social media, money myths, and working day jobs while bootstrapping a beverage brand, this conversation goes deep on what it really takes to build something that's good for people without cutting corners. The trio also explores earth-based healing, Irish sea moss, shifting drinking culture among Gen Z, and Hunu's bigger mission with a Healthy Soda Act to get better options into schools and youth programs, all while keeping it fun, human, and honest. If you're into entrepreneurship, wellness, or just want a smarter way to enjoy soda, this episode will give you both inspiration and practical perspective.​Chapter Guide (Timestamps):​(0:00 - 2:11) Freestyle Intro, Delo's Cold Open, and Meeting the Hunu Founders​(2:12 - 4:22) College Football, Wide Receiver Room Stories, and the Spark for a Better Beverage​(4:23 - 7:28) Patience, Integrity, and Refusing to Cut Corners in Building a Whole-Food Formula​(7:29 - 10:51) From Shirt Business to CPG: Learning the Beverage Game and Naming Hunu (“Who Knew”)​(10:52 - 15:28) Regulations, Testing, Manufacturing Partners, and Funding the Brand While Working Day Jobs​(15:29 - 21:05) Money Myths, Social Media Illusions, and Attention as a Non‑Negotiable Business Pillar​(21:06 - 24:55) Superfood Sports Soda: Irish Sea Moss, Athlete Recovery, and Redefining What “Soda” Can Be​(24:56 - 32:31) Gen Z Drinking Shifts, Earth-Based Healing, and Discovering Sea Moss, Maca, and Moringa​(32:32 - 36:36) Whole-Food Eating, Fasting, Movement, and Designing a Lifestyle You Actually Enjoy​(36:37 - 43:06) Healthy Soda Act, Petitions, Distribution Dreams, Rapid-Fire Questions, and Delo's Close​

The Todd Herman Show, produced by Grok:GROK - Podcast Episode Outline: "Faith in the Fight: How Democrats and Republicans Weaponize Christianity for Power"Episode Title: Faith in the Fight: How Democrats and Republicans Weaponize Christianity for PowerAir Date: Monday, November 17, 2025 (Recorded live from the studio on November 15)Host: [Your Host's Name], award-winning journalist and political commentatorProducer Notes: This episode unpacks the cynical ways both major U.S. parties invoke Christian faith to rally voters and justify policies in 2025's polarized landscape. With Trump's second term sparking debates over "Christian nationalism" via Project 2025 and Democrats countering with progressive "faith outreach" amid immigration raids and shutdown fallout, we'll highlight how scripture is twisted for electoral gain. Drawing on fresh polls, articles, and video clips, the show reveals the moral asymmetries and hypocrisies. Runtime: 50 minutes. Tone: Provocative yet balanced, blending outrage with nuance and guest debates. Music: Somber choral opener evoking hymns, shifting to urgent percussion for policy clashes.Episode Structure & Script Teaser1. Cold Open (0:00–3:00)Audio Hook: Montage of Trump's Bible-waving rally clips, Pelosi quoting St. Francis during the shutdown, and evangelical pastors endorsing deportations as "God's will."2. Segment 1: The Polls – What Christians Really Think (and Vote) (3:00–12:00)Focus: Dive into data showing stark divides: White evangelicals' lockstep GOP loyalty vs. Black Protestants' Democratic tilt, with independents disillusioned by both sides' faith pandering. Host reads synopses aloud, weaving in analysis on how parties exploit these splits.Key Talking Points:White Christians (41% of voters) gave Trump 72% support in 2024, per PRRI, seeing him as "God-ordained" (60% of white evangelicals agree). Republicans leverage this for anti-abortion and immigration policies framed as "biblical mandates."Black Protestants (83% for Harris) and Hispanic Catholics (50% Dem lean) prioritize social justice, which Democrats tie to "welcoming the stranger" (Matthew 25).Overall, 25% of voters believe God picked Trump; Christian nationalism correlates perfectly with Trump votes in red states. But 62% oppose declaring the U.S. a "Christian nation," signaling backlash to GOP theocracy pushes.Poll/SourceSynopsisLinkPRRI 2024 Post-Election American Values SurveyWhite Christians (41% of voters) backed Trump 72%, with 60% of white evangelicals believing God "ordained" his win; Black Protestants favored Harris 83%. Highlights GOP's "divine mandate" narrative vs. Dems' justice focus, but only 25% overall see God's hand in elections.PRRI.orgPew Research Center 2025 Survey on Religion & Politics59% of Protestants lean GOP, 50% of Catholics Republican (up from even split); 67% of Republicans want Bible influencing laws vs. 32% of Dems. Reveals parties' faith appeals: GOP pushes "Christian morals in policy," Dems emphasize church-state separation.PewResearch.orgPRRI 2025 State-Level Christian Nationalism SurveySupport for Christian nationalism (highest in MS/OK at 51%) perfectly correlates with Trump votes; 62% nationally oppose U.S. as "Christian nation." Exposes GOP's state-level theocracy push (e.g., embryo rulings) vs. Dems' opposition as "extremism."PRRI.org3. Segment 2: The Articles – Scripture as Strategy (12:00–28:00)Focus: Explore how Republicans fuse faith with nationalism (Project 2025) while Democrats rebrand as "compassionate Christians" on immigration and equity. Host discusses synopses, contrasting GOP's "moral restoration" with Dems' "perversion of Christianity" critiques.Key Talking Points:GOP: Project 2025 as "Christian nationalist fever dream," redefining freedom "by God, not man" to justify anti-LGBTQ+ and abortion bans.Dems: Shift to faith outreach (e.g., Pelosi's St. Francis invocation) to counter "Christian fascism," but accused of ignoring biblical basics like life sanctity.Both: Historical "poisonous bargain" since Reagan, turning faith into votes while eroding morals. X post [post:61] nails it: Pastors must call out Dem platform's "detestable" policies.Guest Spot: Historian [Guest Name] (e.g., Kristin Du Mez) debates a GOP strategist on whether Dems' "Christian socialism" or GOP's "theocracy" is the bigger threat.Producer Tip: Read X post [post:54] excerpt: "Dems enshrine sin in platform; GOP does not."
