In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how the Big Beautiful Bill reveals the dangerous cycle of government dependency and unchecked bureaucratic growth. As Democrats frame the bill as cruel, Professor Giordano breaks down how programs like Medicaid and SNAP have ballooned far beyond their original intent, now cover nearly 1 in 5 Americans. With new work and education requirements for able-bodied adults sparking outrage, this episode dives into the fraud, waste, and abuse plaguing these programs. Even Republicans are hesitant to introduce real reforms for fear of backlash from the American people. He explains how Republicans must go on offense to win the narrative war and restore the American values of personal responsibility, limited government, and true compassion. Episode Highlights: The explosive growth of Medicaid and SNAP: from safety nets to permanent entitlements What GAO reports reveal about fraud, abuse, and hundreds of billions in wasted taxpayer dollars Why Republicans must control the narrative and defend work requirements as moral and necessary

Send us a textThe digital revolution promised connection but delivered something more complicated. Social media now intertwines with our daily existence, and emerging research reveals disturbing patterns about its impact on developing minds.During our conversation with Kerri Carswell, content creator for the Carolina Journal, we explore the neurological reality behind social media addiction. Those seemingly innocuous features—infinite scrolling, like buttons, notifications—trigger powerful neurochemical responses, releasing dopamine and oxytocin in ways that mirror substance dependencies. For adults, this creates problematic usage patterns, but for children with developing brains, the consequences can be devastating. The documented harms—disrupted sleep cycles, shortened attention spans, increased anxiety and depression—demand action."It's actually the second leading cause of death in North Carolina between the ages of 10 to 18," Carswell reveals when discussing youth suicide rates. North Carolina legislators are responding with groundbreaking proposals. Parents face unprecedented challenges navigating this landscape. When should children receive smartphones? How can we monitor usage without overreaching? What conversations should families have about digital wellness? Carswell shares both personal experience and professional insights to help listeners find balance in an increasingly unbalanced digital world.Listen to understand what's happening behind the screen and how we can protect the next generation from digital harms while preserving technology's benefits.Check out more on this and other topics from Kerri @ https://www.carolinajournal.com/people/kerri-carswell/BelemLeaders–Your organization's trusted partner for leader and team development.

Send us a textIn this conversation, the hosts delve into Chapter 2 of Roy Moran's book, 'Spent Matches,' focusing on the Great Commission and its implications for modern discipleship. They explore the idea that the command to 'make disciples' is not just for a select few but for all believers, emphasizing the importance of living out one's faith in everyday life. The discussion highlights the need for a shift from traditional methods of evangelism to a more organic, relational approach to discipleship, where teaching obedience and public identification through baptism play crucial roles. The hosts also challenge the reliance on church structures and titles, advocating for a model where every believer is empowered to participate in the mission of making disciples.TakeawaysThe Great Commission is for all believers, not just leaders.Mission is embedded in everyday life, not a separate activity.Baptism serves as public identification with Jesus.Teaching obedience is essential for true discipleship.Replication of discipleship is key to growth.Success in ministry should be measured by multiplication, not addition.Dependency should be on God's power, not human leaders.Jesus commissioned imperfect people to fulfill His mission.Discipleship involves making learners who can teach others.Simplifying the process can lead to a more effective movement. Resources: Resource GuideListen in another Language !Coming Soon!

In the electrifying conclusion to Tom Bilyeu's conversation with ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, the lens widens to encompass today's global flashpoints. Andrew applies his framework of power, leverage, and outcomes to the powder keg of present-day geopolitics. From Covid conspiracies and biological warfare, to the rise of China, the fate of the U.S. dollar, and the shifting allegiances shaping the 21st century, Andrew breaks down how world leaders really make decisions—far removed from conventional morality. This part takes a deep dive into modern conflict zones including Russia-Ukraine, the Israel-Palestine crisis, and the West's declining grip amid new authoritarian contenders. Tom and Andrew wrestle with the hard questions: Are chemical and biological weapons just another leverage tool? Why are democracies struggling while strongman regimes rise? And what does the America-first, leverage-maximizing approach actually look like in real time? Buckle in for a rapid-fire tour through the next era of global power, what it has to do with everyday life, and why understanding the "spy playbook" has never mattered more.

University of Washington researchers discovered something that should concern every parent: children who use AI to create can no longer create without it.

#Bitcoin #MagneticField #Plasma #EarthDesasterCyclesBitcoin's Dependency on TechnologyBitcoin's blockchain is only as strong as the infrastructure supporting it. No electricity, no internet, no Bitcoin. In a disaster scenario lasting months or years, your private keys won't feed you or keep you warm. You're right—Bitcoin could become your least concern when survival is at stake.A Window of OpportunityBefore that tipping point, Bitcoin's value could soar. If global instability rises—say, due to early signs of these disaster cycles—demand for decentralized, censorship-resistant money might explode, driving BTC's fiat price or purchasing power through the roof. This is your chance to act. Converting some Bitcoin into tangible survival assets (food, water, shelter, or that bunker you mentioned) could be a smart move, but timing is critical. Cash out too early, and you miss potential gains; too late, and you're stuck with inaccessible wealth.Rethinking Low Time PreferenceBitcoin's ethos of low time preference—delaying gratification for future payoff—works beautifully in a stable world. But if the 2030s bring the first phase of these disaster cycles, that long-term mindset could leave you unprepared. Survival demands a shorter-term focus when the stakes are existential.So, what has BTCsessions missed? His video likely covers essentials like securing your keys, understanding Bitcoin's monetary policy, and avoiding common pitfalls—rules for thriving in a functioning system. But your perspective adds a layer he hasn't touched: Bitcoin's fragility in a post-technological world. Here's what could be added:Rule #10: Recognize Bitcoin's LimitsBitcoin is a tool, not a survival asset. It depends entirely on modern infrastructure—energy, internet, electricity. If you believe disaster cycles are coming, plan beyond Bitcoin. Diversify into physical resources that don't need a plug.Rule #11: Use Bitcoin Strategically Before It's Too LateIf Bitcoin's value spikes as instability grows, use that purchasing power to secure your survival—whether it's a bunker, supplies, or off-grid capabilities. The trick is knowing when to pivot from hodling to acting.‪@BTCSessions‬: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfrcr...@SpaceWeatherNews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzEs4...Ashton Forbes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YWxw...Share this video with your family & friends!

In this episode of the Cult Vault Podcast, Kacey and Darren Mudd delve into the world of multi-level marketing (MLM), specifically focusing on Amway. Darren shares his personal experience of being recruited into Amway during a vulnerable time in his life, highlighting the psychological tactics used by recruiters to exploit emotional states. The conversation explores the cult-like dynamics of university environments, the early warning signs of MLMs, and the brainwashing techniques employed through a structured learning curriculum. As the discussion progresses, they examine the challenges of recruitment, the illusion of success, and the growing dependency on the system, ultimately shedding light on the manipulative nature of MLMs and the emotional toll they can take on individuals. Darren's recollections of participating in the Amway Pyramid Scheme as a university student:Amway Pyramid SchemeDavid's brother joined AMWAY In the UK as an IBO, quickly became obsessed with it, and took control of the family's capital assetsAMWAY In the UKThe tools/training business (an unofficial organisation) was based in Somerset and supposedly meant to “help” people build the Amway business through mentorship and materials - this was the actual cult whereas Amway was the pyramid scheme.Amway and one of its tools/training businessesGet in Touch or Support: Patreon - patreon.com/thecultvaultCrimecon UK 2025 https://www.crimecon.co.uk - use code CULT for 10% off tickets!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cultvaultpod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/CultVaultPodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/Cult-VaultGmail: cultvaultpodcast@gmail.com

I, Stewart Alsop, welcomed Woody Wiegmann to this episode of Crazy Wisdom, where we explored the fascinating and sometimes unsettling landscape of Artificial Intelligence. Woody, who is deeply involved in teaching AI, shared his insights on everything from the US-China AI race to the radical transformations AI is bringing to education and society at large.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps01:17 The AI "Cold War": Discussing the intense AI development race between China and the US.03:04 Opaque Models & Education's Resistance: The challenge of opaque AI and schools lagging in adoption.05:22 AI Blocked in Schools: The paradox of teaching AI while institutions restrict access.08:08 Crossing the AI Rubicon: How AI users are diverging from non-users into different realities.09:00 Budgetary Constraints in AI Education: The struggle for resources like premium AI access for students.12:45 Navigating AI Access for Students: Woody's ingenious workarounds for the premium AI divide.19:15 Igniting Curiosity with AI: Students creating impressive projects, like catapult websites.27:23 Exploring Grok and AI Interaction: Debating IP concerns and engaging with AI ("Morpheus").46:19 AI's Societal Impact: AI girlfriends, masculinity, and the erosion of traditional skills.Key InsightsThe AI Arms Race: Woody highlights a "cold war of nerdiness" where China is rapidly developing AI models comparable to GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost. This competition raises questions about data transparency from both sides and the strategic implications of superintelligence.Education's AI Resistance: I, Stewart Alsop, and Woody discuss the puzzling resistance to AI within educational institutions, including outright blocking of AI tools. This creates a paradox where courses on AI are taught in environments that restrict its use, hindering practical learning for students.Diverging Realities: We explore how individuals who have crossed the "Rubicon" of AI adoption are now living in a vastly different world than those who haven't. This divergence is akin to past technological shifts but is happening at an accelerated pace, impacting how people learn, work, and perceive reality.The Fading Relevance of Traditional Coding: Woody argues that focusing on teaching traditional coding languages like Python is becoming outdated in the age of advanced AI. AI can handle much of the detailed coding, shifting the necessary skills towards understanding AI systems, effective prompting, and higher-level architecture.AI as the Ultimate Tutor: The advent of AI offers the potential for personalized, one-on-one tutoring for everyone, a far more effective learning method than traditional classroom lectures. However, this potential is hampered by institutional inertia and a lack of resources for tools like premium AI subscriptions for students.Curiosity as the AI Catalyst: Woody shares anecdotes of students, even those initially disengaged, whose eyes light up when using AI for creative projects, like designing websites on niche topics such as catapults. This demonstrates AI's power to ignite curiosity and intrinsic motivation when paired with focused goals and the ability to build.AI's Impact on Society and Skills: We touch upon the broader societal implications, including the rise of AI girlfriends addressing male loneliness and providing acceptance. Simultaneously, there's concern over the potential atrophy of critical skills like writing and debate if individuals overly rely on AI for summarization and opinion generation without deep engagement.Contact Information*   Twitter/X: @RulebyPowerlaw*   Listeners can search for Woody Wiegmann's podcast "Courage over convention" *   LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dataovernarratives/

The Songs of David by Pastor Rob Salvato The post Psalm 144 – A Cry of Dependency appeared first on Calvary Vista.

In Episode 416 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Financial Times correspondent Patrick McGee about the integral role Apple played in helping to build China's advanced manufacturing ecosystem—and the geopolitical interdependencies and national security risks now baked into that relationship. McGee's book “Apple in China” tells two stories. First, it chronicles Apple's ascent from being nearly bankrupt in the mid‑1990s to becoming the world's most valuable company within just 15 years. Second, it traces China's historic transformation from an underdeveloped economy with Third‑World cost structures and armies of unskilled laborers to the world's largest economy (by purchasing power parity) and the hub of the most advanced manufacturing base on the planet. By the time this episode is over, you will have learned exactly how Apple off-loaded almost all its manufacturing to Asia by the late 1990s and early 2000s and then consolidated that entire operation inside mainland China. You will also learn how the same supply chain mastery that turned Apple into the world's most valuable company has left it existentially dependent on a single authoritarian state whose political goals now diverge sharply from Washington's. It's an incredible story with profound implications for all of us who depend on China's manufacturing prowess and intricate supply networks to sustain our way of life. Whether we can extricate ourselves from this web of interdependencies—and the extent to which we should even want to—is one of a number of topics we explore extensively in the episode's second hour.

Market performance becomes salient when it hits you. Understanding liquidity is crucial for retirement planning. Market volatility can significantly impact retirement income. Having a liquid fund can protect against market downturns. Diversifying asset allocation is key to financial security. It's important to have a strategy for withdrawals during retirement. Clients often prefer less risk for more certainty in retirement. Comparative analysis of different retirement scenarios is essential. Effective planning can lead to increased cash flow and reduced taxation.

With only raw materials, could you recreate a toaster? Now could you do it considering the source of your materials, the effect extracting them has on the world, along with the use and inevitable destruction of it. This episode's guest did just that. Starting with the extraction of the materials, including learning 15th century techniques for smelting, created a toaster. Reflecting upon that project in today's world, is the topic of this episode. Where we dive into the philosophy of design needing a refresh in todays world in order to live in better harmony with our reality. Thomas Thwaites, Artist and Designer, joins me for this conversation. Check out his website for all of his projects, his TED talk and the project he's currently working on, a harmless car.

The capacity for emotion sets us apart from all things living. It gives us the capability for healthy, deep and intimate relationships. What does it look like when our relationships are too enmeshed emotionally? In this episode of Breaking Bread, Brian Sutter and Kathy Knochel teach us about enmeshment and the dangers of being too emotionally dependent on others.    Show notes  While we are to receive and give support to others, we are not to take ultimate responsibility for other's wellbeing. Unhealthy emotional dependency can happen when two or more individuals lose their independence and identity to the relationship. Individuals assume unhealthy responsibility for the feelings of others. Often it is marked with overwhelm and exhaustion on the part of one and deeply felt need on the part of the other. When this occurs in the family system, it often goes by the term enmeshment. However, emotional dependency can occur between unrelated friends also.     Finding health for individuals in emotionally dependent relationships will require some action.   First there needs to be a recognition of emotional dependency.  Second, boundaries will need to be put in place to promote safety between the individuals.   Third, individuals will feel a mixture of guilt and loss. Working through these emotional realities is necessary.   Finally, reengaging in the relationship at the healthiest level possible. 

Are You Afraid To Depend On God? With Kashawn Watson In the latest episode of "The Kay Wats Podcast," Kay concludes the season with a passage out of John 15. She shares what she's learned about abiding and dwelling with God, understanding the importance of dependency and the gift it produces.

Debt-Driven Reality: Understanding CRE's Structural Fragility Cracks Beneath the Surface In this episode of The Real Estate Market Watch, I sit down with Jon Winick, CEO of Clark Street Capital, to explore the increasingly fragile foundation of the commercial real estate (CRE) market. Winick draws on decades of experience in loan portfolio sales, banking, CMBS investing, and student housing to deliver a sobering, detail-rich assessment of what's coming next — and what's already hiding in plain sight.   The Fed, Interest Rates, and the “Nuclear Option” Trump vs. Powell: Market Implications Winick opens with a sharp critique of political interference in Federal Reserve policy. While the idea of firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell may feel remote, he warns that even sustained political pressure has consequences. Removing Powell — the so-called "nuclear option" — would spark chaos in capital markets, undermining global confidence in the U.S. dollar and Treasury markets. “You cannot find an industry in which debt matters more than commercial real estate,” Winick says. A destabilized bond market affects CRE indirectly but profoundly by tightening liquidity and depressing investor confidence.   CRE's Dependency on Debt: Liquidity as Lifeblood Why CRE Suffers When Capital Tightens With rates elevated and uncertainty rising, Winick highlights the outsized role debt plays in CRE. Unlike most industries, capital structure is everything in real estate. Higher interest rates are more than a cost issue—they erode the viability of deals outright. His analogy lands hard: “Low rates are like tequila on a first date. High rates are like a glass of warm milk.”   Banking Behavior: The Art of Delay Defaults, Loan Maturities, and Creative Accounting Despite rising delinquencies in CMBS, bank-reported CRE loan delinquencies remain surprisingly low. Why? Banks, Winick argues, are benefiting from regulatory changes that let them defer the recognition of problem loans. “The delinquencies that you're seeing in CMBS and bank loans will inevitably converge. Banks have been able to use some new rules to hide problem loans. And eventually that [runway] runs out.” he says. Bank defaults may not be catastrophic, but their opacity clouds the picture for investors trying to assess real risk.   Creative Destruction Denied Why Bailouts Delay the Inevitable Winick argues the post-COVID economy is still “wrapped up by actual or indirect fraud.” From subsidized mortgages to suspended student loan collections, unsustainable federal programs have kept weak assets and businesses afloat. He makes a provocative case for embracing creative destruction. “We've basically decided as a society that we won't let businesses fail… but that's ultimately bad economics.”   Policy, Regulation, and the Supply-Demand Trap Deregulation and its Unintended Consequences Dodd-Frank's unintended effect was to choke off consumer credit, particularly in regions with few lenders. Winick compares Puerto Rico, with just three banks, to Iowa, with the same size population as Puerto Rico, with 246. The result? Higher interest rates, limited options, and an underfinanced economy. He calls for “smart, effective regulation,” warning that over-regulation concentrates power while under-regulation invites asset bubbles.   The Signals to Watch Now What CRE Investors Should Be Monitoring Winick identifies several canaries in the coal mine for CRE investors: Widening CMBS credit spreads: These are leading indicators of borrowing cost pressures. Corporate bankruptcies and retail closures: Especially among large tenants like Walgreens or government departments exiting leases. Shifts in political winds: Regulatory reversals could radically alter CRE's operating environment. Strategy: What Should CRE Investors Be Doing? Be Patient, but Be Realistic For investors sitting on cash, Winick's advice is pragmatic: “Be patient… [but] waiting for a home run often means you miss out on a lot of great opportunities.” He urges caution and downside awareness in every negotiation, pointing out that real movement in the market won't occur until lenders are forced to act or borrowers are out of options.   Final Thought: The Bond Vigilantes Will Win A System Bound by Market Forces Winick closes with a sharp reminder that the bond market, not politicians, sets the true limits: “The bond vigilantes always get their way.” In a world dependent on debt, real estate investors should watch not just interest rates — but who controls the levers behind them.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

Buckle up for a packed episode of the **Ern and Iso Podcast**!

In This Episode Dan Kuschell joins Adi Klevit to share how founders can scale businesses without burnout by implementing simple yet powerful systems. Drawing on his 30+ years of entrepreneurial experience, Dan outlines his five-pillar framework to build a business that generates quality leads, closes sales faster, and creates operational freedom. They explore why the “know, like, trust” model is outdated and how shifting to “know, respect, trust” better reflects modern buyer psychology. Dan explains how to use connection campaigns, lead machines, and education-based conversion to move prospects from cold to converted without relying entirely on the founder. Dan also shares how Google's research backs his approach and why founders must romance prospects like humans—not transactions. He closes with advice on scaling through automation and systemization while maintaining personal wellbeing and balance.  

Government-administered aid to the poor is routinely wasted. Many well-intended charitable programs undermine self-determination and fail to restore dignity. James Whitford discusses a new way to think about poverty and its alleviation in The Crisis of Dependency. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pastor Gary Thomas delivered a powerful and thoughtful message at Cherry Hills Community Church, focusing on the letter to the church of Laodicea in Revelation. He unpacked how their self-reliance led to spiritual complacency—and how we can fall into the same trap today. With clarity and insight, he challenged us to shift from independence to a daily dependence on God. Rather than settling for a lukewarm faith, we're invited into a deeper, more honest relationship with Christ.

What do vibrations and the psychedelic experience have in common? MDMA therapy is revolutionizing mental health treatment, helping people overcome PTSD, anxiety, and emotional trauma with unprecedented success. But what if you could tap into those same powerful benefits—without taking a single drug? It turns out your brain responds to more than just chemistry. Vibration, frequency, and rhythm have been shaping human consciousness for millennia—from ancient chanting rituals to modern neuroscience breakthroughs. Could the right vibrations unlock the same neuroplasticity and healing pathways as psychedelics? In this episode, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and psychedelic researcher, to explore how vibrations can rewire your brain, enhance neuroplasticity, and even mimic the effects of MDMA therapy. Dr. Rabin's work led to the creation of Apollo Neuro, a wearable device that taps into your nervous system's natural ability to regulate stress, boost focus, and accelerate recovery—without pharmaceuticals. What You'll Discover in This Episode: • How specific vibrations trigger deep relaxation and neuroplasticity • Why MDMA therapy works—and how vibration-based tech can simulate it • The surprising science behind music, frequency, and altered states • How Apollo Neuro enhances sleep, focus, and emotional resilience • The overlooked role of heart rate variability in longevity and health • Why stress is the biggest obstacle to healing—and how to override it **Apollo Neuro | To get an Apollo wearable, go to https://apolloneuro.com/Dave and save 15%** Resources: • Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • Apollo Neuro Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/apolloneuro/?hl=en • Apollo Neuro Website: https://apolloneuro.com/Dave • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey's Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer 00:40 Intro 01:18 Exploring Vibration in Biohacking 02:29 Introduction of Dr. Dave Rabin 02:53 Understanding Vibration and Its Impact 04:47 The Apollo Neuro Device 08:44 Using Apollo for Different States 11:41 Apollo in Psychedelic Therapy 24:32 Clinical Trials and Studies on Apollo 29:32 Heart Rate Variability and Biohacking 33:02 Revolutionizing Sleep with Apollo 34:40 Apollo's Long-Term Effects and Dependency 37:16 Apollo's Impact on ADHD and Psychiatric Disorders 45:22 The Importance of Human Connection and Simple Solutions 49:56 Longevity, Healthspan, and Future Innovations 57:23 Final Thoughts and Discount Offer See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Americans are addicted to federal money, just as they are to tobacco or alcohol. This addiction fuels skyrocketing debt, endless deficits, and financial instability. Until people recognize the problem, real change is impossible. With $36 trillion in debt and interest payments surpassing defense spending, how close are we to rock bottom? It's time for a wake-up call.

About 25 years ago, James Whitford and his wife founded a ministry to the poor and homeless in Missouri. Not long after starting the ministry, Whitford felt led by the Lord to see for himself what it was like to be homeless.    After several conversations with his wife, the couple agreed that Whitford would take a short period of time to live on the streets, and Whitford left his home with nothing but the clothes on his back.    Whitford found himself sitting on a street corner next to a young homeless man in his 30s named Ralph. Whitford had known Ralph for some time and had ministered to him many times, but now, the two were homeless together. It was well into the day and Whitford was hungry. Ralph pulled out a sandwich and offered Whitford half.    “And if you put yourself in that position of a homeless person offering his food to you, how do you respond? I didn't say it,” Whitford recalled, “but I remember feeling or thinking, well, ‘no, I'm not gonna take your sandwich, Ralph. I'm not gonna do that. I can go somewhere if I need to, and you're the ministry, and I'm the minister.”    At that moment, Whitford says he realized he had been “treating Ralph and thousands of other people as objects of my good intentions … rather than subjects who have autonomy, capacity and agency.” The experience changed Whitford's perspective on serving the poor, and permanently affected the way he led his ministry, moving from a “handout model to a hand-up model.”   “If we're not engaging people in reciprocity in our charity, we are failing them horribly, doing them a disservice and not really upholding the inherent human dignity that is in every person,” Whitford said.    Unfortunately, Whitford says much of the government's programs intended to help the poor, and many charity programs, don't engage the recipients dignity and have instead created significant harm through creating dependence on programs instead of empowerment.    Whitford, co-founder and CEO of True Charity, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss his new book, “The Crisis of Dependency: How Our Efforts to Solve Poverty Are Trapping People in It and What We Can Do to Foster Freedom Instead.” Learn more about your ad choices.
