Tara breaks down the economic and political forces reshaping America, from record-low first-time homeownership to the looming threat of socialist policies. In this episode, she explores how young Americans are struggling to buy homes while Congress continues to print money, inflate prices, and fail to pass a proper budget. Tara also analyzes the political implications, including the youth vote for Donald Trump, the dangers of amnesty, and the rise of radicals like Zohran Mamdani advocating for the abolition of private property, control of production, and government-managed food — classic communism. Through history, literature, and personal experience, Tara paints a stark picture of what's at stake if Americans don't act. *Record-low homeownership. Spiraling debt. Radical socialism. What happens if America doesn't wake up?* housing crisis, first-time homebuyers, inflation, economic policy, trump, youth vote, socialism, communism, zohran mamdani, private property, means of production, food control, build back better, democratic policies, tara podcast Tara examines the current economic and political landscape of America, highlighting the collapse of first-time homeownership to a record 21% and the increasing average age of buyers to 40. She connects this to overspending by Congress, the printing of money, and failed budgetary discipline, warning that these policies leave young Americans frustrated and vulnerable to radical promises. Using historical context and examples like Zohran Mamdani's advocacy for abolishing private property and seizing means of production, Tara explains how classic communist tactics are being normalized. She underscores the risks of amnesty, demographic shifts, and political power grabs, painting a clear picture of how the nation could transform if current trends continue unchecked.

Today's episode dives into the pressing issues shaping the United States—from skyrocketing home prices and record-high median ages for first-time buyers, to federal overspending and the political battles over redistricting and the filibuster. Tara speaks with Congressman Ralph Norman about gerrymandering, voter integrity, and the fiscal challenges threatening economic opportunity for young Americans. We also examine the historic housing crisis, federal stimulus spending, and the rising political influence of youth voters in shaping the nation's future. “Where policy, politics, and the American dream collide.” Housing crisis, first-time homebuyers, median age, federal spending, continuing resolutions, budget, gerrymandering, redistricting, voter integrity, filibuster, Republican strategy, Trump, youth vote, economic anxiety, socialism, inflation In this episode, Tara unpacks the critical issues confronting America today. Highlights include: * The median age of first-time homebuyers has reached an all-time high of 40, with only 21% of purchases made by new buyers. Young Americans are increasingly priced out of homeownership. * Federal overspending continues unchecked, with annual stimulus programs and pandemic-related expenditures fueling inflation and economic strain. * Congressman Ralph Norman joins to discuss the urgent need for fair redistricting in South Carolina, the risks posed by gerrymandered districts, and the importance of voter integrity. * The debate over eliminating the Senate filibuster, and its potential impact on future legislation, including spending bills and immigration policy. * The rising political influence of younger voters, with historical shifts in support patterns reflecting economic anxieties and dissatisfaction with current policies. This episode connects housing, fiscal policy, and political strategy, highlighting how today's decisions will shape the American dream for generations to come.

On this week's Tapping The Keg, we dive into a pivotal moment for Wisconsin sports. We start with the Green Bay Packers, who suddenly find themselves at a crossroads: What does Jordan Love's trajectory mean for the franchise, and how much responsibility falls on Matt LaFleur as the offense searches for consistency? We break down where things stand and what comes next. Then we shift to the hardwood, where Giannis Antetokounmpo is battling more than just opposing defenses. We examine the growing tension between Giannis and NBA officiating—what's fair, what's not, and whether the league has a Giannis problem on its hands. Finally, we zoom out to talk sports popularity. Has MLB quietly overtaken the NBA as America's No. 2 sport? We look at ratings, cultural trends, and the shifting media landscape to figure out what's really going on. Another loaded episode of Wisconsin sports talk, national debates, and everything in between.

Socialism is becoming front and center in the United States. The Democratic Party is vying with candidates from the Democratic Socialists of America within its ranks. And Republicans are now planning to use this as a key talking point in the coming midterm campaigns.Also, in other news, New York City just held a very contentious mayoral election—and this became a national focus, mainly over the Democratic candidates. It could signal whether the party leans toward more centrist platforms, or whether it goes further left with candidates linked to Democratic Socialists of America.We'll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

For decades, coal was more than an industry in Pike County, Kentucky. It was a way of life, powering homes, paychecks, and a deep sense of identity. But as the economy shifts, residents there are also grappling with growing political divisions within their community.

Imagine being told you have a terminal illness. Would it change the way you approach each day? Two years ago, Thad Reichley went to the doctor because he had the flu. When initial attempts to address his symptoms were unsuccessful, additional procedures revealed the presence of three dozen tumors in the lining around his lungs. He was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. There is no known cure for the disease. A father, husband, educator, and pro-level endurance athlete, Thad's “job” over the past 24 months has been to fight cancer and stay alive. In addition to his treatments' side effects (fever, vomiting, inflammation of the eyes, and savage bouts of colitis), Thad has learned to navigate the negative “you are not enough" voices in his head. He's also come to change his expectations about what makes a good day. “Sometimes” he says, that while trying to carpe every diem, “just walking the dog has to be enough.” Thad and I know each other through his wife, Leigh, who was my colleague on the sales team at Facebook in LA. She's a very funny, very committed person who, as you will hear, is no stranger to cancer. I am grateful to Thad for sharing his story and hope it inspires YOU to go to the doctor if you haven't been in a while. As importantly, I hope that it reminds you to cherish and protect your health and loved ones for as long as you have them. Here's how Thad sums it all up: 1. Go to the doctor 2. Listen to your wife 3. Hug your kids, and 4. Tell the people in your life you love them. Prior to his diagnosis, Thad spent two decades as an educator, both as a teacher and an administrator at well-known schools like Crossroads in Santa Monica and Mark Day School in Marin County. He earned his BA at the University of Washington, Master's degrees from both UCLA and Brown University, and his doctorate from the University of Southern California. ✍️Please rate and review Reasonably Happy (https://ratethispodcast.com/paulopod) ✍️

Supporters call it decisive leadership; critics call it executive overreach that could come back to bite if the political tables turn. Mix in SNAP benefits whiplash, looming shutdown fallout, and chatter about shutting parts of U.S. airspace due to staffing shortages, and you've got a Washington moment where the only constant is unpredictability. Rule of law, checks and balances, and long-game consequences take center stage as political volatility meets constitutional stress-testing.

We sit down with Comvita Chair Bridget Coates to talk about the critical vote shareholders are facing on a 80-cent-per-share takeover offer. With a 75% majority vote required and two major shareholders already backing the deal, this is a pivotal moment for Comvita and its investors. The iconic mānuka honey company and global market leader has faced significant financial pressure in recent years due to industry oversupply, price and demand volatility, and balance sheet challenges. Despite restructuring efforts, the Board of Comvita is now recommending shareholders accept the offer from private health and wellness bidder Florenz. We cover the mānuka honey industry's struggles, why previous recapitalisation attempts haven't been enough, and what's at stake if the scheme fails. And what the future might hold for this nearly 50-year-old Kiwi brand under private ownership.

In a story from ancient Greek philosophy, Hercules faces a choice between two paths: one promising pleasure and ease; the other, hardship and struggle — but also growth and greatness. According to today's guest, this ancient parable is more relevant than ever.Dr. Paul Taylor, a psychophysiologist and the author of the new book The Hardiness Effect, returns to the show to argue that comfort has become our default mode — and it's making us mentally and physically sick. To reclaim health and meaning, we must actively choose the path of arete — a life of effort, engagement, and challenge.Paul first outlines the four traits that define a psychologically hardy person and how we grow by embracing and even relishing discomfort. We then dive into the physiological side of hardiness. We discuss how intentionally seeking stressors can strengthen both body and mind and some of the practices and protocols that lead to optimal health. We end our conversation with what tackling heroic, Herculean labors looks like today.Resources Related to the PodcastPaul's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #941 — How to Avoid Death by ComfortAoM Podcast #1,087: Why You Need the Good Stress of SocializingAoM Podcast #793: The New Science of Metabolism and Weight Loss with Herman PontzerThe Choice of Hercules AoM podcast on the benefits of sunlight"Don't Die: Eat More Small Fish" by Michael EasterAoM Article: Nature's Prescription — The 20-5-3 Rule for Spending Time OutdoorsNorwegian 4X4 HIIT ProtocolAoM article on Zone 2 CardioOmega-3 testingConnect With Paul TaylorPaul's websiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A new nationwide campaign could bring an end to property taxes. The push is happening at both the state and federal level. Yet some argue that while ending the tax could help older home owners, taxpayers who don't own homes will have to shoulder the additional costs.We'll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of “Crossroads.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In this episode of The CEO Podcast, Scott De Long, Ph.D., and Vince Moiso return after a long hiatus to discuss the challenges leaders face in making tough calls during uncertain times in this limited-run series, Leadership at the Crossroads. They open with reflections on the current economic and political landscape, including inflation, tariffs, AI disruption, and fluctuating interest rates of which test a leader's ability to remain calm, focused, and strategic. Scott emphasizes the importance of staying calm and making data-driven decisions rather than fear-based reactions. He encourages leaders to balance instinct with analysis, ensuring decisions are informed by both experience and data. Vince adds that focus is more critical than ever, urging leaders to eliminate distractions from constant news cycles to phone notifications so they can maintain clarity and productivity. Together, they explore how external noise and media bias can influence leadership decisions and why critical thinking and perspective are essential traits for modern executives. The conversation shifts to organizational growth, where Scott and Vince share insights on balancing entrepreneurial drive with operational discipline. They discuss a case study of a fast-growing company learning to integrate structure without stifling innovation. The duo agrees that while bold moves are sometimes necessary, leaders must know when to slow down, assess internal processes, and ensure alignment with long-term vision. They conclude by encouraging CEOs to revisit their organizational purpose, assess market realities, and recalibrate their three-year vision to align with today's changing business climate. Key Takeaways Leaders must stay calm, grounded, and data-driven when navigating uncertainty. Eliminating distractions and focusing on what truly matters is essential for effective leadership. Sometimes slowing down to analyze and align can lead to faster, more sustainable growth. Key Insights Economic uncertainty, including inflation and tariffs, demands clear-headed leadership. Data-driven decision-making reduces fear-based reactions and helps maintain stability. Balancing entrepreneurial instinct with structure is key to sustainable scaling. Avoiding constant exposure to news and social media can improve focus and mental clarity. Leaders should question media biases and seek diverse perspectives before forming opinions. Slowing down at key decision points can prevent costly mistakes and promote strategic clarity. Collaborative decision-making fosters buy-in and stronger organizational alignment. Understanding team personalities and communication styles enhances leadership effectiveness. Organizations should routinely reassess vision, processes, and resource allocation.

“How has christianity changed by the means of transmission?” This is one of the core questions Professor David N. Hempton asks with his book “Christianity at the Crossroads,” in which he recounts the way Christianity has developed from the print revolution to the digital age due to the methods in which it is shared and experienced. Matthew Peterson speaks with Hempton about how these communication styles are interconnected, how the Jesuits existed as a network within a network, how women and men construct networks differently, and more.Christianity at the Crossroads: https://www.cambridge.org/us/universitypress/subjects/religion/church-history/christianity-crossroads-global-church-print-revolution-digital-era?format=HB&isbn=9781009597432Donate: https://religionunplugged.com/donate

In the 1930s, a Mississippi bluesman named Robert Johnson changed American music forever—and left behind one of its darkest legends. According to folklore, Johnson met the Devil at a crossroads and traded his soul for unmatched musical talent. His songs spoke of hellhounds and restless spirits, and his life ended mysteriously at just 27. In this special episode, recorded with guest Norman Woolworth, we explore the real man behind the myth, the eerie coincidences in his story, and how one haunting deal shaped the soul of the blues.

Tonight, we're cutting through the noise. I sit down with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for a raw conversation about the state of our nation — where America stands, and where we're headed if we don't start putting our people first. We talk about the war on the middle class, the endless propaganda pushing foreign priorities, and the fraud and waste buried in our own government programs. MTG opens up about the hate she faces, how she stays grounded, and what real leadership looks like when even “America First” politicians seem to forget who they serve. This one's not about sides — it's about truth, clarity, and the fight to bring America back home.

Robert Johnson didn't just play the blues. He embodied them. He drank and womanized his way through the South, New York, and Chicago in the 1930s, until he finally met the devil at the crossroads for a little trade. So the legend goes, anyway. With the same soul he supposedly sold to the devil, Robert Johnson belted lightning blues that captured trouble in 12 bars. But the trouble he touted would eventually trickle into his own life, one bottle of poison at a time.
