What happens when politicians threaten to cut funding from accounting standard-setters unless they eliminate specific rules? Blake and David explore unprecedented political interference in FASB and PCAOB operations, plus the IRS facing a 23% budget cut despite Trump's push for more customer service staff. They unpack Sam Altman's warning about AI breaking voice authentication at major banks, why accounting degrees deliver 261% ROI (fourth-best among all majors), and how $28.7 billion in private equity money is reshaping CPA firms. Plus, the economic reality behind Stephen Colbert's show cancellation, Bitcoin's institutional takeover, and how tariff uncertainty is creating impossible planning conditions for businesses.SponsorsHuman at Scale - http://accountingpodcast.promo/humanKeeper - http://accountingpodcast.promo/keeperMissive - http://accountingpodcast.promo/missiveCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casChapters(00:41) - The Decline of Late Night TV (03:02) - The Shift to Digital Media (13:51) - AI in Accounting Firms (16:46) - PCOB Leadership Changes (20:06) - Legislation to Eliminate PCOB (21:06) - FASB Funding Threats (24:54) - IRS Budget Cuts (31:56) - Deloitte's Audit Investigation (32:55) - Uncovering Glencore Energy's Bribery Scandal (34:19) - The ROI of an Accounting Degree (38:01) - Private Equity's Surge in Accounting Firms (54:46) - The Immigration Debate and Economic Consequences (01:00:57) - Alternative Pathways in Accounting: Alaska's New Law (01:01:48) - Conclusion Final Thoughts  Show NotesCBS is ending 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' next year | CNN Business https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/17/media/cbs-cancels-stephen-colbertStephen Colbert's 'Late Show' run will come to an end next year as CBS cancels franchise https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/tv/stephen-colbert-late-show-end-cbs-rcna219499Inside CBS' 'agonizing decision' to cancel Colbert's top-rated late-night show | CNN Business https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/18/media/colbert-cbs-late-show-cancel-paramount-trumpSEC.gov | SEC Announces George Botic to Serve as Acting Chair of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boardhttps://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025-100-sec-announces-george-botic-serve-acting-chair-public-company-accounting-oversight-boardGeorge Botic Takes Over as Acting Chief of the PCAOB - CPA Practice Advisor https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/2025/07/22/george-botic-takes-over-as-acting-chief-of-the-pcaob/165364/SEC names George Botic as acting chair of PCAOB | Accounting Today https://www.accountingtoday.com/news/sec-names-george-botic-as-acting-chair-of-pcaobHouse Republicans propose to withhold funds from FASB unless income tax reporting standard is withdrawn | Accounting Todayhttps://www.accountingtoday.com/news/house-republicans-propose-to-withhold-funds-from-fasbGOP Threatens Accounting Board Funding Over Tax Disclosure Rules https://news.bloombergtax.com/financial-accounting/gop-threatens-accounting-board-funding-over-tax-disclosure-rulesAmericans Want to Know Which Corporations Aren't Paying Taxes, but House Republicans Want to Keep this Information Secrethttps://itep.org/corporate-tax-avoidance-house-republicans-spending-bill/Trump wants to reverse the staffing cuts he's overseen for IRS customer service.

What can the Roman legions of Constantine, the Ottoman forces of Mehmet the Conqueror, and the US Army of World War II teach us about modern military power?In this timely episode of the Explaining History Podcast, I speak with former senior British officer and acclaimed military historian Barney White-Spunner about his forthcoming book Nation In Arms (out 14 August). Drawing from five pivotal armies that helped shape the European continent—the Roman, Ottoman, New Model, Prussian, and American—White-Spunner explores what today's governments must relearn about the organisation, loyalty, and very soul of military power.We unpack why European governments have lost focus on defence since 1989, why the peace dividend is over, and what history urgently demands we remember in an era of renewed conflict. This is a deep and necessary conversation about the nature of armies, the responsibilities of the state, and the timeless lessons of military history.History of European Armies, Barney White-Spunner interview, Nation In Arms book, Military history podcast, Contemporary military threats, Lessons from Roman army, Cromwell's New Model Army, Ottoman Empire military, Prussian military reform, WWII US Army history, European defense policy, Future of armed forces, Explaining History podcast, Modern warfare and strategy, Decline of European militaries, History podcast, Military history, Geopolitics, European history, Modern warfare, Author interviews, Strategic studies, Defence and security, British military.Newsflash: You can find everything Explaining History on Substack, join free hereHelp the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

Sam Yerbi, a young Yale-educated labor attorney and board president of the civic organization Thrive LA, offers a stark assessment of Los Angeles's decline. Yerbi arrived as a refugee from Iran to L.A., where he has embodied the American dream in a city that has served as a beacon for immigrants and dreamers. But he paints a not-so hopeful picture of crime, homelessness, and corruption overwhelming the city. Yerbi believes change is possible but requires new leadership and greater civic engagement.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has tempered expectations that the central bank may cut interest rates at its September meeting, leading to a modest decline in stock prices. However, after the close of trading, both Microsoft and Meta reported strong earnings for Q2, with their shares rising substantially, which could set the stage for a positive trading day ahead. Meanwhile, Tim Gagie, Head of FX/PM Private Banking Sales in Geneva, offers his insights on the current strength of the US dollar and identifies potential opportunities as we head into August.(00:00) - Introduction: Helen Freer, Investment Writing (00:34) - Markets wrap-up: Roman Canziani, Head of Investment Writing (07:26) - FX and metals: Tim Gagie, Head of FX/PM PB Geneva (11:27) - Closing remarks: Helen Freer, Investment Writing Would you like to support this show?

Is it genius or going too far?  We talk about its safety features, its recent data breaches, and whether public reviews of your ex should really be a thing. Plus, Laura unpacks the deadpan 'Gen Z stare' that's freaking anyone over the age of 30 out. Is it apathy, anxiety, or just boundaries? And speaking of generational clashes, we tackle the phone etiquette war: Gen Z doesn't say “hello” anymore... should we be offended by the deadpan stares and awkward breathing on the other end of a phone call? And we're never gonna leave you hanging on the recommendations front: Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2 (Andrew), 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' (Laura), and Netflix's 'Building the Band' (Pam).

The so-called Mainline Protestant churches have experienced a dramatic decline in membership from their former position as the standard-bearers of American religious life. What lessons can Orthodox Christians learn from their plight?

Some conversations stop you in your tracks- and this was one of them. Xaviaer DuRousseau joined me to talk about how he went from identifying as a proud liberal to becoming one of the boldest conservative voices challenging the mainstream narrative today. He walked me through that transformation. What shifted, what hurt, and what ultimately freed him. We talked about identity, race, and the pressure to conform. Xaviaer opened up about the backlash he's faced, the isolation that comes with speaking your truth, and why he refuses to be quiet- even when it would be easier. This wasn't about towing a party line. It was about finding the courage to break away from the script and rewriting your own.

Budget Currently Being Hashed Out by Legislators to Decline by $1.1 Billion; OBBBA to Eat 40% of Expected General Fund Growth by FY2032 The Citizens Research Council today released an analysis of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), the massive federal legislation signed into law earlier this month that touches nearly every corner of the federal government. The analysis focuses on the likely short- and long-term impacts of OBBBA provisions on Michigan's budget outlook. Key provisions of OBBBA include the extension of the vast majority of tax cuts included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and an assortment of new – albeit temporary – tax relief provisions for tipped income, overtime pay earners, and senior citizens. Under Congressional rules, the legislation needed to identify significant federal spending reductions to offset the revenue loss attributed to the new tax policies as well as increased military and immigration enforcement spending. OBBBA also achieves federal spending reductions through shifts in cost-sharing with states – provisions that will have significant impacts on state budgets going forward. In contrast to much that has been written about the immediacy of certain tax benefits followed by the delay in programmatic cuts, the Research Council's analysis shows the impact to the FY2026 Michigan budget currently being deliberated by state lawmakers is immediate: The OBBBA increases state cost-sharing within two major safety net programs – Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The changes could increase Michigan's spending on these programs by over $1 billion by FY2032. It also implements more favorable tax treatment of certain business expenditures under the federal corporate income tax – changes that will have ripple effects on Michigan's corporate income tax collections, leading to large and immediate revenue declines ($677 million revenue reduction estimated for FY2026). These provisions mean the state will need to cut around $1.1 billion in General Fund/General Purpose appropriations from the FY2026 Executive Budget proposal. By FY2032, OBBBA's provisions will absorb around 40 percent of expected General Fund revenue growth. “For years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Michigan experienced an unexpected state revenue high driven largely by federal stimulus initiatives,” said Robert Schneider, senior research associate for state affairs and lead author of the report. “Even before OBBBA, it was evident that those days were coming to an end and state revenue growth was returning to pre-COVID trends. With the enactment of the OBBBA, Michigan now faces an added budget challenge that will be particularly severe over the next few budget cycles. State lawmakers should get to work on developing a budget plan that considers these new realities.”

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stuart Turley discusses the EPA's proposal to rescind the Obama-era endangerment finding, a move that could undo over $1 trillion in regulations and save the U.S. economy billions. He highlights the potential impact on automakers, consumers, and energy companies, and explores the implications for energy policy, including how it could affect global agreements like the EU trade deal.

SHOW NOTES: I've talked before about so many medical interventions over the years and gone into detail about the pros and cons of them, and all of that info is relevant…but today I want to go a little deeper into the underlying reasons we as Christians should not be accepting so many medical interventions.

The deal reached by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump over the weekend has led the Euro to lose value against the US dollar. This follows wide-ranging criticisms within the bloc over the "asymmetrical" nature of the deal, with French Prime Minister François Bayrou equating it to submission. In this edition, we look back on what's been agreed on, and what still needs to be determined.

Craig Miller – CEO, Valterra SAfm Market Update - Podcasts and live stream

The sermon traces the decline of American Christianity, arguing it began in the early 1800s with the rise of Arminianism and its emphasis on man-centered salvation over God's sovereignty, leading to practices like emotional revivalism and the altar call. This shift, influenced by figures like Charles Finney and later exacerbated by secular philosophies and government-controlled education, fostered a dualistic worldview separating the sacred and secular and ultimately resulted in a diminished understanding of Christ's dominion over all of life. The speaker advocates for a return to reformed theology, rejecting these trends and embracing a holistic vision of Christ's kingdom advancing in all areas of society.

Rachel Stockman, President of Law & Crime , the top trial channel on YouTube, joins today's pod! She shares insights from their extensive coverage of the Diddy trial, highlighting their innovative use of AI to recreate courtroom scenes from real transcripts due to cameras being disallowed. She also explains their "YouTube-first" strategy, especially how focusing on in-depth, long-form content for their engaged audience differentiates them from other media outlets. Finally, she touches on the upcoming Tupac trial coverage and how they decide which cases to follow based on audience interest and their commitment to victims' families, citing the unexpected virality of the Gwyneth Paltrow civil case.But first: YouTube's impressive Q1 ad revenue, nearing $10 billion, and the strategic move to exclusively stream an NFL game in Brazil, aiming for record viewership. Also: the significant sales decline of Prime, the beverage brand by Logan Paul and KSI, and the related case study on the challenges of building sustainable creator brands beyond initial virality.00:00 Welcome to Creator Upload 00:24 AI's Impact on Future Parenting 01:19 The Hunt for Undiscovered Music & Content 02:48 The Double-Edged Sword of Content Access 03:14 AI Integration in Platforms (Roblox & YouTube Shorts) 05:13 YouTube's Q1 Ad Revenue Soars 07:12 The Decline of Prime & Sustainable Creator Brands 11:01 Marketing Beyond Virality 13:41 "Nothing Kills Bad Brands Faster Than Great Marketing" 14:50 Creator Passion and Brand Building 15:39 Law& Crime Diddy Trial Coverage & AI 19:06 The "YouTube-First" Strategy 20:59 Law & Crime In-Depth Content Approach 22:24 Upcoming Trials and Content Strategy 24:14 The Gwyneth Paltrow Case: Unexpected Virality 25:58 Wrap Up & FarewellCreator Upload is your creator economy podcast, hosted by Lauren Schnipper and Joshua Cohen.Follow Lauren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schnipper/Follow Josh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuajcohen/Original music by London Bridge: https://www.instagram.com/londonbridgemusic/Edited and produced by Adam Conner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamonbrand

In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso welcome back Zack Cooper, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and professor at Princeton University, to examine how recent U.S. military strikes in Iran impact deterrence dynamics across the Indo-Pacific region.Iran Strikes and China DeterrenceCooper argues that U.S. strikes against Iran may actually strengthen deterrence against China by demonstrating American unpredictability. Chinese officials had reportedly viewed Trump as a "paper tiger" following trade negotiations, but the Iran strikes have forced Beijing to recalculate its assumptions about U.S. willingness to use force in a Taiwan crisis.Alliance Management Under PressureThe conversation explores growing tensions in U.S. Indo-Pacific alliances as the Trump administration links trade negotiations to security commitments. Cooper expresses concern that threatened tariffs and demands for increased defense spending could undermine alliance relationships, particularly with South Korea, Japan, and Australia.Nuclear Proliferation ConcernsThe panel discusses alarming implications for nuclear proliferation in the Indo-Pacific, with Cooper warning that recent events may accelerate desires for independent nuclear capabilities among regional allies. The setback to Iran's nuclear program paradoxically demonstrates both the risks and benefits of pursuing nuclear weapons.Regional Defense ArchitectureCooper critically examines Eli Ratner's proposal for an Indo-Pacific defense pact (the "Squad" - U.S., Japan, Australia, Philippines), arguing that formal defense agreements may be premature given current political realities in allied capitals. He suggests focusing on operational cooperation and interoperability instead.India-Pakistan LessonsThe recent India-Pakistan border conflict provides valuable insights for Indo-Pacific military planning, with Cooper noting that Indian air operations were largely successful despite Pakistani use of Chinese-supplied air defense systems.Information Warfare ChallengesAs chairman of the Open Technology Fund, Cooper discusses ongoing efforts to maintain internet freedom tools like Signal and VPN access in authoritarian countries, despite Trump administration attempts to shut down U.S. Agency for Global Media operations.Strategic ImplicationsCooper emphasizes that while Middle East conflicts may seem distant from Indo-Pacific concerns, they fundamentally shape how regional powers assess American resolve and commitment. The unpredictability doctrine may serve deterrence purposes, but creates significant challenges for alliance management and strategic planning.

Mark Hamrick believes the U.S. economy will remain strong even as manufacturing lags. Friday's durable goods orders print showed a near-10% decline. Mark adds that Boeing's (BA) "mindboggling" backlog will be met at some point, even if the timeline slogs. On interest rates, he urges consumers to "divorce the noise" between when the White House wants and what the FOMC sees in the economic data.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano is joined by Adam Kissel, author of Slacking: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation and visiting fellow for higher education reform at The Heritage Foundation. Kissel exposes the rot inside elite institutions, from Columbia University's descent into radicalism to the broader crisis of academic decline and student activism replacing scholarship. He explains why the name on a diploma too often outweighs the quality of education received, how taxpayer dollars are fueling the problem, and what states like Florida are doing to restore civic knowledge and classical learning. This conversation is essential listening for anyone concerned about the future of American higher education. Episode Highlights: How the Ivy League became more about prestige than academic excellence Why radicalism and disruptions threaten free speech and civic discourse What states can do to bring back classical education and real accountability

What happens when a $2 trillion cryptocurrency market suddenly requires monthly audits? Blake and David break down the Genius Act, the new federal stablecoin legislation that just created a massive opportunity for auditors—but also potentially recreated the chaotic "wildcat banking" era of the 1800s. You'll learn why every stablecoin issuer now needs monthly attestation reports and annual audits, creating hundreds of new recurring revenue streams for accounting firms willing to take on the risk. Plus, they explore whether there are enough auditors to actually make this system work, and what happens if quantum computing breaks cryptocurrency security. The episode also covers PCAOB leadership changes under the new administration, live-tests AI agents trying to enter invoices (spoiler: it's messier than the hype suggests), and updates on the 23 states now offering alternative CPA pathways.SponsorsMissive - http://accountingpodcast.promo/missiveRelay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/relayCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casChapters(01:17) - AI in Accounting: Browser Integration (02:35) - Major News: The Genius Act and Its Implications (03:38) - Sponsor Shoutouts and Livestream Interaction (05:06) - Audit News: Erica Williams and PCAOB Changes (08:27) - Federal Audit Failures and OMB's Strategic Reset (09:48) - AICPA's New Fraud Detection Standards (12:52) - Sponsor Highlight: Missive (15:38) - Fraud Case Study: Christine Hunsicker's $300M Scam (20:08) - Deep Dive: The Genius Act and Stablecoins (41:21) - The Risk of Stablecoins and Financial Contagion (42:07) - Quantum Computing Threat to Bitcoin (42:38) - The Challenge of Upgrading Cryptocurrency Systems (43:22) - Summary and Predictions for Accounting Firms (43:38) - Fraud in the Traditional Banking System (44:08) - Relay: The Small Business Banking Solution (45:43) - Pig Butchering: A Growing Fraud Problem (48:05) - The Case for a Federal Stablecoin (50:26) - Alternative Pathways for CPA Licensure (52:02) - Decline in CPA Licenses and Modernizing Education (54:59) - Cloud Accountant Staffing: Solving the Labor Shortage (56:01) - Agentic AI: The Future of Automation (59:13) - Challenges and Potential of AI in Accounting (01:02:31) - The Role of AI in Data Entry and Research (01:17:53) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts  Show NotesTrump signs landmark GENIUS Act, hailing "exciting new frontier" for crypto - CBS News https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-signs-genius-act-crypto-bill/Fact Sheet: President Donald J.

We celebrate 500 episodes of Aufhebunga Bunga with a cold, hard look at the decay around us. Alex and George plus contributing editors Lee Jones and Alex Gourevitch wrangle with four principal questions: What does it mean to say our era is one of decay or decline? How does this relate to the non-death of neoliberalism – its intellectual destitution, its practical weakening, but also its mutation and perpetuation? How does neoliberal decay relate to the decline of a unipolar world under total US hegemony, and the decline of the liberal globalist order? To what extent is the decay of representative democracy cause or consequence of the above? And finally, as we have been asking since we started this podcast in 2017: what comes next?
