Smart analysis, unapologetic opinions, and real conversations every weekday morning. Every weekday from 6a to 10a! On Today's show, Tug is back, and there’s plenty to catch up on. The guys dive into everything Tug missed in college football before tackling the latest political and cultural battles, from mail-in ballots and election fraud to whether wokeness has contributed to political violence. They also debate whether Trump could face impeachment if Democrats take control, break down El-Sayed running from Hasan Piker, and react to another spot-on take from Spencer Pratt. Plus, college football may have opened Pandora’s Box, a Flashback comparing open immigration today with the immigration restrictions of 1914, and 30 years of the same speech from Bernie Sanders.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Fine tuning manufacturing like a guitar - that's the kind of parallel you can expect from this episode. This week Chris sits down with Rush LaSelle, CEO at Fathom, recorded on site at their Hartland, Wisconsin facility over a Spotted Cow beer. Rush's path into manufacturing started at Fanuc, moved through the early and unproven days of mobile robotics, and later took him into the highly regulated world of healthcare automation. They get into digital manufacturing today, how the Kiva and Amazon story changed the way people think about robotics and logistics, and why more defense spending doesn't automatically mean more manufacturing capacity. Rush also breaks down what this week's news around CMMC Phase 2 means for manufacturers who have already put in months of work preparing for it. Along the way, Rush makes one of the more memorable comparisons we've heard on the show, describing the people on his shop floor as creatives, and manufacturing itself as something closer to art than you might expect. In this episode, find out: How an early mobile robotics deal turned out to be worth $775 million, and what it taught the industry How digital manufacturing evolved from CAD drawings to full supply chain integration Why additive manufacturing has moved way past its prototyping only reputation What manufacturers need before they can scale up to meet rising defense demand Why the pause on CMMC Phase 2 has left some manufacturers in a tricky spot How Rush sees manufacturing as a form of art, and why he calls his machinists creatives What's driving the ongoing talent war in manufacturing, and why skilled machinists take years to develop Why Rush believes physical AI is the most exciting shift happening in the industry right now Enjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going! Tweetable Quotes: “There is a talent war going on where everybody's trying to get the right level of folks on the floor. Despite all the automation and the augmentation, you still need talented people out there. The curve to get to a level three machinist is about seven years on the job.” - Rush LaSelle, CEO at Fathom “You take all the data that's available in these monstrous data farms and you start applying them to physical AI. Physical AI, in our case, could be getting better control over our machines, instead of 80% of our programming done on CNCs, making it 98%.” - Rush LaSelle, CEO at Fathom “We've had an erosion of our industrial base. You need to have 20, 30, 50 years' worth of visibility to revenue to put hundreds of millions of dollars in place. And the government doesn't always give you that level of visibility.” - Rush LaSelle, CEO at Fathom Links & mentions: Fathom Manufacturing helps companies simplify part sourcing with 25+ advanced manufacturing technologies and support services, all built around the way real programs actually move. Core capabilities include additive manufacturing, injection molding, CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication, with support across engineering, finishing, inspection, assembly and production. New Glarus Brewing Company philosophy is based on individuality, cooperation, and the employment of 100% natural ingredients to produce world-class, handcrafted beers like Spotted Cow, for our friends in Wisconsin.

After taking some time away to help my family through my dad's open-heart surgery, I'm back with a new episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson. Thank you to everyone who reached out and supported my family during this time.Today, I share my opinions on several current events. I discuss why I believe America must remain a sovereign nation and why I have concerns about the growing military relationship between the United States and Israel, including why I believe these actions raise real constitutional and legal questions.I also share my thoughts on the continued loss of American service members in the Iran War and explain why the United States should NOT be involved in another foreign war.Finally, I discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and how it is connected to the Epstein files, and why I think Americans deserve greater transparency and accountability from those in power.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

The deadliest weekend yet in the war involving the United States and Iran has left more U.S. troops dead and wounded while the administration seeks billions more in military funding. Rising oil prices are also pushing gas prices higher, adding to the financial impact on Americans.

In an era of unprecedented geopolitical tension and energy market volatility, Stu Turley of the Energy Newsbeat podcast sits down with Trisha Curtis, CEO of the Petro Nerds podcast, to dissect the forces reshaping global energy markets and international power dynamics. From Iran's desperate gambit to control the Strait of Hormuz to China's calculated investments in coal-to-oil synthesis, this conversation reveals how energy—not ideology or military might alone—is the true currency of geopolitical leverage.The hosts challenge conventional market wisdom, expose the hidden costs of net-zero policies, and make a compelling case that the United States possesses unprecedented energy advantages that policymakers and analysts have catastrophically underestimated. With Europe in energy decline, China preparing for conflict through energy resilience, and the Middle East in flux, this episode serves as a masterclass in understanding why energy security is national security, and why the decisions made today will determine which nations thrive and which fade into irrelevance.Check out the PetroNerds at https://www.youtube.com/@petronerds633 Connect with Trisha on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/trisha-curtis-petronerds/1. Global Oil Market Volatility & Strait of Hormuz CrisisThe hosts discuss the unprecedented market volatility throughout the year, particularly focusing on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's actions. They analyze how Iran's attacks on shipping and infrastructure represent desperation rather than strength, as alternative pipelines and routes are being developed by Saudi Arabia and the UAE to bypass Iranian control.2. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) ManagementA significant focus on how the U.S. and China are using their SPRs differently. Secretary Chris Wright is praised for using the SPR as a loan (requiring repayment) rather than a permanent release, which avoids budget cycle issues. The hosts note this strategy received insufficient market coverage.3. U.S. Oil & Natural Gas ProductionDiscussion of America's impressive production capacity—nearly 14 million barrels per day of crude oil and 136 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. The hosts emphasize that the U.S. has significant leverage in global energy markets that isn't being properly appreciated or communicated.4. China's Energy Strategy & Geopolitical ImplicationsExtensive analysis of China's energy stockpiling, coal-fired power generation dominance (more than the U.S. total capacity), and investments in coal-to-oil synthetic manufacturing. The hosts interpret China's 2026 coal-to-oil investments as preparation for potential conflict.5. European Energy Crisis & DeclineCritical examination of Europe's energy policy failures, particularly the UK and Germany's abandonment of coal and nuclear power. The hosts highlight how net-zero policies have made Europe dependent on Russian LNG and created energy security vulnerabilities.6. Electricity Grid Reliability & Cost IssuesDetailed analysis showing that wind and solar installations increase electricity costs without improving reliability. The hosts present data showing blue states have 38% higher electricity prices than red states, correlating directly with renewable energy policies. They argue that baseload power (coal, natural gas, nuclear) is essential.7. ESG & Net-Zero Policy CriticismStrong critique of ESG metrics and net-zero commitments by major oil companies, arguing these policies increase costs without environmental benefit and represent a form of control rather than genuine sustainability.8. U.S. Manufacturing & Supply Chain ResilienceDiscussion of reshoring manufacturing and the importance of controlling the entire energy value chain—from crude extraction through plastics manufacturing—to reduce dependence on China and create a more resilient economy.9. NATO, Defense Spending & Geopolitical RealignmentAnalysis of NATO discussions, with criticism of European countries (particularly Spain) for insufficient defense spending and energy investment. Discussion of new trading blocs forming around the U.S., Saudi Arabia, UAE, Russia, India, and Japan.10. LNG Market DynamicsAnalysis of Qatar's LNG production disruptions and the broader natural gas market, including how Iran's attacks on LNG vessels represent attempts to control energy flows and how alternative infrastructure (floating LNG, pipelines) may bypass traditional chokepoints.The overarching theme is that energy security is fundamental to national security and economic prosperity, and current Western policies prioritizing net-zero over reliable, affordable energy are strategically disadvantageous compared to competitors like China.This will be more in line with a new series covering the global energy policies and insights from Trisha.

New U.S. strikes on Iran come against the backdrop of the NATO summit in Turkey, where leaders are hoping to strengthen Europe's ability to defend itself. President Trump brought his long-standing criticisms of European countries, once again expressing frustration over their defense spending and refusal to support the U. S. and Israeli war in Iran.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) NATO allies unveiled billions in defense industry deals to buy next-generation drones and surveillance planes as allies attempt to convince President Trump that Europe is heeding his spending demands ahead of the NATO Summit. Eleven countries will buy airborne radar-detection systems from Swedish aerospace firm Saab AB, replacing a US-made Boeing Co model, in a deal worth $5 billion. Allies will invest more than $40 billion in counter-drone capabilities over the next five years, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.2) Maine Democrat Graham Platner is under pressure to end his bid for a US Senate seat following a sexual assault allegation he has denied. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand called on Platner to step aside and vowed to cut off the party's funding for him if he stays on the ballot. Several Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Ro Khanna, have withdrawn their endorsements of Platner and urged him to leave the race, citing the "troubling and deeply serious" allegations against him.3) Team USA’s run in the World Cup came to an end as it failed to make the quarterfinals, losing 4-1 to Belgium. Outrage over FIFA’s decision to allow striker Folarin Balogun to play continued to simmer after the organization reversed his one-game ban. The reversal sparked outrage across the world, with UEFA calling it “incomprehensible and unjustifiable” and accusing FIFA of crossing “a red line."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why is the global sustainability transition failing?In Part 3 of The Extractive Tapestry, we drop the raw data receipts on how the trillion-dollar modern war machine, corporate defense monopolies, and the military-industrial complex (MIC) structurally block renewable energy growth to protect private wealth and infinite expansion.From the 1993 "Last Supper" Pentagon dinner that consolidated our plastic-wrapped, fossil-fuel-dependent lifestyle, to the modern revolving door of defense tech-bros and billionaire WhatsApp groups colluding to crush public dissent—we are pulling back the curtain on the design of the fail.

Trump says Iran is "finished," but the war pitch keeps changing. Now the Pentagon wants another $350 billion. In this Good Morning Liberty breakdown, Nate and Chuck react to Trump's latest Iran war comments, Fox News coverage, threats of more bombing, and the claim that America could walk in with a small group of soldiers and take over Iran. They also cover the new push for a $350 billion Pentagon add-on, the SAVE Act being attached to defense spending, and why Washington always finds more money for war while pretending to care about deficits. This one hits Iran, FISA, Trump, Pentagon spending, foreign policy, inflation, military budgets, and why both parties keep rewarding the same broken incentives.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing what may be the most consequential political moment of Donald Trump's career. With Trump's approval ratings slipping, the Iran conflict escalating, renewed questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk continuing to reverberate through the conservative movement, many Americans are asking whether these events are isolated, or part of a much larger story.In this episode, I examine the connections I believe may exist between these developments, including my view that the Epstein files may have been used as leverage against powerful political figures and that foreign interests have exerted significant influence over American policy in the Middle East.We'll discuss:Trump's declining support among his baseThe growing controversy surrounding U.S. involvement with IranThe unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein filesThe political impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination and its aftermathWhy I believe these stories intersect in ways the mainstream media refuses to exploreMy goal is not to tell you what to think, but to encourage you to question narratives, follow incentives, and examine who benefits from the decisions being made in Washington.--https://www.bible.com/

In this episode, Jeff Mo, U.S. mid-cap portfolio manager, explores a fundamental shift in how economies may grow over the next decade. He makes the case that after 25 years of intangible, internet-driven expansion, growth may increasingly depend on building physical things again: data centers, electrical infrastructure, factories, defense systems, satellites. Jeff walks through the forces driving this transition, from AI's voracious appetite for capital to geopolitical tensions reshaping supply chains and defense spending. The conversation examines how these macro themes connect to bottom-up stock selection, where the U.S. mid-cap team is finding opportunities today, and why maintaining inherent contradictions in the portfolio remains essential even as thematic investing dominates market behavior. • Why producing one unit of GDP today requires about a third as much oil as in the 1970s, yet capital expenditure per unit of GDP growth may be rising as the economy shifts from intangible services back toward physical infrastructure and manufacturing. • How AI data center buildouts, reshoring of manufacturing, rising defense budgets, and the expanding space economy are all driving higher demand for physical capital, commodities, and industrial capacity after a decade of underinvestment. • How the hyperscalers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta) are moving from massive net cash positions to net debt as they fund AI infrastructure, tightening capital availability for the rest of the economy and potentially raising interest rates and dampening consumer spending. • Where the U.S. mid-cap team is finding opportunities aligned with these themes, from companies like Northrop Grumman, SanDisk, and OSI Systems, while maintaining portfolio balance through inherent contradictions. • Why humility matters most when contemplating big-picture themes: the goal isn't predicting the future but building a diversified portfolio of wealth-creating companies that can withstand multiple scenarios.   [00:00] Introduction: From Intangible to Physical Economy [00:50] Opening Discussion with Jeff Moe [01:42] Oil Efficiency vs. Rising CapEx Requirements [03:39] Economic Growth: Labor, Capital, and Productivity [04:11] Infrastructure Investment and Reshoring Trends [06:52] Defense Spending and Capital Intensity [07:08] The Space Economy: Satellites and Connectivity [11:00] Memory Market Dynamics and Contract Changes [12:22] Cyclicality in a Capital-Intensive Economy [15:04] Consumption vs. Investment: Portfolio Implications [17:44] Connecting Themes to Bottom-Up Research [18:44] Idea Generation and Stock Selection Process [21:32] Winners and Losers: The Bits to Atoms Trade [22:00] Portfolio Construction: Inherent Contradictions [25:21] Where the Theme Might Be Wrong [26:09] Long-Term Wealth Creation and Economic Optimism [28:18] Closing and Subscription Information Host: Rob Campbell, CFA Institutional Portfolio Manager Guest: Jeff Mo, CFA Portfolio Manager This episode is available for download anywhere you get your podcasts.   Visit us at: https://www.youtube.com/@MawerInvestment https://www.mawer.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/mawer-investment-management/  https://www.instagram.com/mawerinvestmentmanagement/   Founded in 1974, Mawer Investment Management Ltd.

On Tax Day, trillions flow into the United States government. But new analysis shows a significant share is directed toward war, defense contractors, and border enforcement, while healthcare and food assistance face mounting pressures and cuts.
