With the 2017 tax cuts about to expire and major leadership changes in the executive and legislative branches coming in January, now is a critical time for the future of philanthropy. Reforms to the tax code and IRS regulations about charitable giving will affect not only your tax bill and deductions but also the future of donor privacy, donor intent protection, and key considerations for estate planning. To think ahead about what's in store for conservative and libertarian charitable givers, DonorsTrust recently held a webinar conversation with three experts to explore coming policy changes. This episode of Giving Ventures brings that discussion to you. In the episode we hear from: Stephen Moore, an economist and advisor to President Trump. Steve was a key voice behind the scenes when Republican lawmakers drafted the 2017 Trump tax cuts and offers an inside look into what is likely to come in the second Trump administration.  Christie Herrera, President and CEO of Philanthropy Roundtable, the nation's leading network for conservative givers. Christie's work gives her a close-up view to the myriad proposals in Congress and the IRS that would significantly alter philanthropic giving.  Michael Whitty, a seasoned expert in estate tax law and planning and partner at Smith Gambrell & Russell LLP in Chicago. Michael gives a view to the estate planning tools we can use as we consider possible changes to the tax code.

Earlier this month, DonorsTrust partnered with the Goldwater Institute and the Arizona Free Enterprise Club for a special event in Phoenix, Arizona. At the event, Peter was joined by DonorsTrust philanthropic advisor Lukas Dwelly and Yellowstone Trust Administration executive vice president Randy Huston for a discussion about the powerful charitable tools you can employ in your planned giving. Lukas is a chartered philanthropic advisor, an accredited estate planner, and charted financial advisor. Randy is certified financial planner with expertise in charitable estate planning and has worked in the charitable trust field for nearly 40 years. In this episode, Lukas covers the basics of bequest gifts, life insurance, and leveraging the full power of your IRA. And Randy gives an excellent overview of charitable remainder trusts and charitable lead trusts. The panel discussion will help you think more strategically about the tools available to you, including donor-advised funds.

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing Vice President Kamala Harris's recent interview with Fox News, the key missteps and missed opportunities, why she failed to move the needle with a new audience, Kamala's infuriating dodges during her Fox News interview, her inability to answer direct questions on immigration and the border, her non-stop use of talking points and weak answers, her struggles to address critical questions regarding President Biden's mental fitness, her vague answers about "turn the page," and more. Then Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook, the hosts of the Ruthless podcast, join to discuss the media's absurd reaction to Kamala's Fox News interview, the spin that has emerged in her defense, the attempt to attack Bret Baier for daring to ask actual journalistic questions, Kamala's reliance on scripted talking points even during friendly interviews like with Charlamagne, her new accent in that interview, the new narrative that criticism of Kamala is sexist, the latest battleground polling and what it reveals about the 2024 election, whether Trump or Harris has the lead, and more.More from Ruthless: https://www.youtube.com/ruthlesspodcastJacked Up Fitness: https://GetJackedUp.com and enter code MK for a 10% discount on your own home gym.Grand Canyon University: https://GCU.eduDonorsTrust: https://www.DonorsTrust.org/MKFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing the new lie being pushed this week by the corporate media and the left about Trump targeting "the enemy from within," their fear-mongering that he'll target Americans who don't vote for him, the Democrats in full desperation mode now, and more. Then Josh Hammer, host of "America on Trial," and Delano Squires, research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, join to discuss the corporate media and left attacking Trump in more exaggerated ways, their desperation as Kamala keeps losing ground in the election, Kamala's new effort to target black males, why the efforts aren't working and are ringing hollow, the feminine way Democrats talk to voters, Bill Clinton accidentally admitting Laken Riley's death could have been avoided if our border was tighter under the Biden-Harris administration, how his campaigning has backfired for the Democrats, and more. Then Steve Ballmer, founder of "USA Facts," joins to talk about how he keeps his fact-based site completely unbiased, why it's important to use fewer adjectives when displaying just the facts, the need for Americans to have access to facts without political bias, the facts about the national debt and economy, the epidemic of Fentanyl deaths in America, how the increase in accidental deaths is alarming, raising kids to stay humble, and more. Hammer- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/america-on-trial-with-josh-hammer/id1727785259Squires- https://www.heritage.org/staff/delano-squiresBallmer- https://usafacts.org/DonorsTrust: https://www.DonorsTrust.org/MKGround News: Use the link https://groundnews.com/megyn to get 40% off the Vantage subscription to see through mainstream media narratives.Tax Network USA: https://TNUSA.com/MEGYNMy Patriot Supply: https://PreparewithMegyn.comFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow 

Megyn Kelly is joined by Kmele Foster, Michael Moynihan, and Matt Welch, host of The Fifth Column podcast, to talk about the biased ABC moderators during the presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, examples of ABC's clear failure to be fair, how the debate performance will affect the public's trust in legacy media, how the moderators could have handled the debate more fairly, what Trump could have done to fight back better against the bias, Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris, the over-the-top reaction by Tim Walz and Lawrence O'Donnell, why focus groups on CBS and CNN show voters appear largely unmoved by Harris' debate performance, the potential disconnect between political commentators and the electorate, the lack of substance by Harris, voters thinking Trump was still stronger on the economy after the debate, VP Harris' fear-mongering about Trump and abortion at the debate, one nurse saying it was "medical misinformation" that went uncorrected, and more.More from The Fifth Column: https://www.wethefifth.com/ Am I Racist: https://AmIRacist.com and get your tickets now!Hungryroot: Go to https://Hungryroot.com/megyn to get 40% off your first delivery and get your free veggies.DonorsTrust: https://www.DonorsTrust.org/MKFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, October 25th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about the plea deals in the Georgia trials over Donald Trump's interference in the 2020 elections, with Jenna Ellis being the latest MAGA star to say one thing in their court confession that runs counter to the years of social media posing and preening they've been doing. Our good friend Dr. Michael Siegel returns to Heard Tell to talk about how protests and debate over Israel's reaction to Hamas terrorism and the Palestinian situation has exploded across campuses, and ask his POV as an academic about the current state of students, how viral videos change perception, the real status of free speech on campus, and his personal take on how the Hamas attacks and worldwide reaction feel so different this time to the Jewish Community. Then we talk about housing, and how the latest headlines about home buying underscore the importance of housing in understanding the true state of the economy. Then, Carolyn Bolton of DonorsTrust joins to defend Taylor Swift from the recent onslaught by influencers and social media by examining her record of philanthropy and laying out that the pop superstar has been amazingly consistent and low-key in her giving of money, and giving of political opinions, discusses why Taylor Swift gets so many in the commentary realm so worked up, introductory info for non-Swifties, and even compares notes with host Andrew about his favorite songs from Taylor Swift.All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxQuestions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

Last night's Met Gala was "in honor of Karl," celebrating the life of Karl Lagerfeld, one of the most famous fashion designers of all time.

Nonprofitnewsfeed.com   Nonprofit Suit Before Supreme Court Could Upend Affirmative Action In Higher Education The nonprofit organization Students for Fair Admissions' case against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, currently before the Supreme Court of the United States, may end the ability for institutions of higher education to engage in race-conscious admissions decisions. However, the motives and outcomes of this suit are wide-reaching. ProPublica and the Yale Daily News report that Students for Fair Admissions received money from many different conservative dark-money nonprofit vehicles, including DonorsTrust, Searle Freedom Trust, and the Sarah Scaife Foundation. Foundations, DAFs, and other money-maneuvering operations also have direct ties to Leonard Leo and The Federalist Society. Six of the nine sitting Supreme Court Justices are current or former members of the Society, according to the Yale Daily News. Among recent reporting alleging Clarence Thomas's potentially unethical acceptance of expensive trips from conservative donor Harlan Crow, include photographs of Thomas enjoying cigars with current Federalist Society co-chairman Leonard Leo.

Today we start by discussing the crazy moment from last night's Oscars when Will Smith smacked Chris Rock in the face for a joke he made about Smith's wife. Then, we talk about more of the red flags surrounding Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, this time the support she's getting from "libertarians" and "conservatives" in Washington, D.C. Joining us to explain things is Jon Schweppe, director of policy and government at the American Principles Project. Jon talks about how high-level Democrats and Republicans seems to be in sync when it comes to supporting Biden's far-left, soft-on-crime nominee for SCOTUS, and the reason for that seems to be a shared obsession in D.C. with "Criminal Justice Reform." We discuss what the D.C. elites want from those reforms, and almost none of it would actually benefit regular people. However, knowing that many allegedly right-wing organizations support criminal justice reform, even though it really has nothing to do with conservative values, explains why these groups are silent about KBJ or are outwardly supporting her. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction (1:38) The slap heard around the world (10:30) Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's judicial sentencing record (19:37) Interview with Jon Schweppe --- Today's Sponsors: Z-Stack is formulated to help combat any & all variants as well as the common cold & flu.

How The Koch Network Hijacked The War On Covid Center for Media and Democracy exposedbycmd.org- PRWatch prwatch.org- SourceWatch sourcewatch.o rg  Bio: Alex is an investigative reporter with the Center for Media and Democracy. A campaign finance expert, Alex helped launch money-in-politics website Sludge, and his work has been published by more than two dozen media outlets including The American Prospect, The Nation, and Vice.com. David Armiak-608-515-4040David is research director for the Center for Media and Democracy. CMD is a nationally recognized government and corporate watchdog that leads in-depth investigations into the corruption that undermines our democracy, environment, and economic prosperity. CMD's groundbreaking exposés are featured on the blog ExposedbyCMD.org. CMD also publishes SourceWatch, an encyclopedia of corporations, corporate special interest groups and their leaders; and specialized investigative websites, including ALECExposed.org. This story was produced in partnership with The Daily Poster. Earlier this month, as the Omicron variant began to spread, a small liberal arts school on a tree-lined campus in Michigan called Hillsdale College announced it was launching an Academy for Science and Freedom to “educate the American people about the free exchange of scientific ideas and the proper relationship between freedom and science in the pursuit of truth.” The academy was inspired by the pandemic. “As we reflect on the worst public health fiasco in history, our pandemic response has unveiled serious issues with how science is administered,” noted the college president in a press release. But the venture isn't exactly an effort to apply science to the Covid-19 crisis. The so-called “fiasco” was government pandemic measures like mask and vaccine mandates, contact tracing, and lockdowns. Hillsdale is a conservative Christian institution with ties to the Trump administration. And the scholars behind the academy — Scott Atlas, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff — are connected to right-wing dark money attacking public health measures.  The trio also has ties to the Great Barrington Declaration, a widely-rebuked yet influential missive that encouraged governments to adopt a “herd immunity” policy letting Covid-19 spread largely unchecked. The new academy appears to be the latest effort to provide intellectual cover to a nearly two-year campaign by right-wing and big business interests to force a return to normalcy to boost corporate profits amid a pandemic that is now surging once again thanks to Omicron.  This is the story of how that corporate-bankrolled campaign succeeded in supplanting public health experts and hijacking governmental response to the pandemic.  The War On Public Health When COVID began its spread across the United States in early March 2020, states responded by locking down to varying extents. All 24 Democratic governors and 19 of the 26 Republican governors issued weeks-long stay-at-home orders and restrictions on non-essential businesses.  Lockdown measures drove down cases in the U.S. and likely saved millions of lives globally. But the decline of in-person shopping and work, combined with factory shutdowns in places like China, disrupted the economy. A 2020 report from the corporate consulting firm McKinsey & Co. found the hardest-hit industries would take years to recover.  One sector in particular that took a big hit was the fossil fuel industry. Oil demand fell sharply in 2020, placing the global economy on uncertain footing.  Before long, business-aligned groups — particularly those connected to fossil fuels — began targeting the public health measures threatening their bottom lines. Chief among them were groups tied to billionaire Charles Koch, owner of Koch Industries, the largest privately held fossil fuel company in the world. The war on public health measures began on March 20, 2020, when Americans For Prosperity (AFP), the right-wing nonprofit founded by Charles and David Koch, issued a press release calling on states to remain open.  “We can achieve public health without depriving the people most in need of the products and services provided by businesses across the country,” it read.  A month later, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a business lobbying group partially funded by Koch Industries, published a letter calling on President Donald Trump to enable states to reopen. That letter was signed by over 200 state legislators and “stakeholders,” including leaders from Koch-funded groups like the Texas Public Policy Foundation and the James Madison Institute.  To fight its war, the Koch network also relied on the astroturf roadmap behind the anti-government Tea Party movement, using its dark money apparatus to coordinate anti-lockdown protests. Participants for a number of anti-lockdown rallies were recruited by FreedomWorks, a dark money group tied to Charles Koch instrumental in organizing Tea Party protests in 2009. Several of the 2020 rallies were also promoted by the Convention of States Action, a group founded by an organization with ties to the Koch network and hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer that wants to rewrite the U.S. Constitution. In Michigan, a major event was organized by the Michigan Freedom Fund, a nonprofit funded by the family of Trump's secretary of education, Betsy DeVos. Groups funded by the Kochs and their colleagues also turned to a more insidious form of combat adapted from Tea Party strategies: building an academic and intellectual network that would create and promote its own “science” to attack COVID mitigation policies. “Build Up Immunity… Through Natural Infection” On October 4, 2020, the Great Barrington Declaration was released to the world. Authored by Stanford University professor Jay Bhattacharya, former Harvard Medical School professor Martin Kulldorff, and Oxford University professor Sunetra Gupta, the declaration recommended governments allow younger, healthier people to become infected with Covid-19 while reserving “focused protection” for the vulnerable, in order to reach herd immunity. Suggestions included having nursing homes limit staff rotations and businesses rely on workers with “acquired immunity.” “The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection,” read the declaration.  The document boasted a veneer of academic legitimacy. Its credentialed authors wrote the letter at a conference hosted by the auspicious-sounding American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. According to the declaration's website, the letter has since been signed by more than 2,700 “Medical and Public Health Scientists,” and “none of the authors or co-signers received any money, honoraria, stipend, or salary from anyone.” But the declaration arose out of the world of right-wing dark money and corporate interests, and many of its signatories aren't verified.  AIER, which hosted and filmed the conference and registered the declaration's website, is a Koch-tied libertarian think tank. From 2018 to 2020, the Charles Koch Foundation donated more than $100,000 to the institute. And before that, the Koch Foundation donated nearly $1.5 million to the Emergent Order Foundation, formerly Emergent Order LLC, a PR firm that engaged in hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of marketing consulting for AIER. AIER has also received $54,000 from the Atlas Network, an anti-regulation group formerly known as the Atlas Economic Research Foundation that has received more than a half million dollars from the Charles Koch Foundation and the connected Charles Koch Institute. The Atlas Network also pocketed nearly $3.9 million from DonorsTrust, a dark money fund connected to wealthy right-wing donors such as Koch and Mercer, and its sister group, Donors Capital Fund.  In exchange, AIER has provided fellowships to academics in several Koch-funded programs. That includes economist Peter Boettke, the former president of the Mont Pelerin Society, of which Charles Koch has been a member, and Michael Munger, an adjunct scholar at the Koch-backed Cato Institute. AIER's trustees include Benjamin Powell, director of the Free Market Institute at Texas Tech University, which has received millions from the Koch network. Powell is known for his defense of sweatshops. Bhattacharya, co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, is a former research fellow at the Hoover Institution, which received $430,000 from Charles Koch's foundation between 2017 and 2018, as well as $1.4 million from the dark money fund DonorsTrust from 2016 to 2020. Since then, Bhattacharya has appeared in multiple Hoover video programs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since the first six days of October 2020 have felt like 87 years, who’s better to sift through everything that has happened than one of TheDispatch’s own quadrumvirate of podcasters, Steve Hayes? Here to give Jonah the inside scoop on some of the background reporting he’s done for The Morning Dispatch, Steve has some ideas about how Trump’s overly-cinematic return to the White House could’ve been handled better, why there was a communication breakdown between Trump’s medical staff and his PR people, and, most mysteriously, what on God’s green earth Mark Meadows has been trying to do for the past few days. Beyond these more Machiavellian machinations, they also delve into some of the downright silliness that’s gone on – such as the new pessimism that anything can even be done to stop COVID, since it’s a contagious disease (the stamping out of which has characterized (“Uh… literally the entire history of human civilization,” in Jonah’s words). They also give an update on the State of The Dispatch, and ponder what their place in the conservative media landscape may look like in a post-Trump era – whether that’s sooner or later.

Fresh off the heels of his new manifesto (not of the communist variety, though), Iain Murray, CEI senior fellow, joins Jonah on The Remnant to discuss The Socialist Temptation: what it is, who it hits hardest, why socialism isn’t really even an economic theory, and what to do about it. Show Notes: -The Socialist TemptationIain’s new book, -BBC’s generously donated show sets, to spruce up your Zoom background -Iain refuting Thomas Piketty -Josh Muravchik’s “Theories of the New Class” -“Socialism is the name of our desire” -Corporatism and Comparative Politics: The Other Great “Ism” -Ten Thousand Commandments 2020 -Violence and Social OrdersNorth’s -#NationalizeMySpace -Reagan’s speech at Hillsdale in the 70s -Jonah at the Oxford Union -“Socialism is so hot right now” -DonorsTrust.org/Dingo for access to “6 Reasons to Use a Donor-Advised Fund” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A clean-shaven Michael Strain joins the perennially bearded Jonah to talk about the topic that always brings encouraging news: the economy. Lowering the national debt and the closing of movie theaters are two bullets in this chin-stroking chamber, complemented by banter about barbecue sauce and how to retrieve small children from the sewers. Show Notes: -Michael Strain’s new book, The American Dream Is Not Dead: (But Populism Could Kill It) -Jonathan Chait’s book on Obama’s legacy (got awkward when Trump won)  -The Montreal Cognitive Assessment -2001 anthrax attacks  -Ayanna Pressley’s wise words to cancel everything  -G-File in which Jonah talks about how the House Freedom Caucus is a bunch of hacks  -DonorsTrust.com/Dingo for your free resource, “6 Reasons to Use a Donor Advised Fund”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The outbreak of the CoronaVirus has created a health crisis. But federal, state and local governments' reactions to this challenge - however well intentioned - have created an economic crisis that will linger past any recovery from or stabilization of the spread of the disease. The economy's been broken and government action cannot bring it back, only alleviate some of the pain. It's the private sector that will provide lasting solutions to restoring a vibrant America. Of course businesses will play a significant role, but often overlooked is how our civil society non-profit institutions will also be making a big difference. Joining me to talk about this are Lawson Bader CEO of DonorsTrust which directs donor dollars to highly promising conservative and libertarian nonprofit groups throughout the country and Tracie Sharp CEO of The State Policy Network which works with public policy and activist groups in all 50 states. They are leaders of the newly formed Growth and Resilience Project resiliencenow@donorstrust.org, which is bringing together donors to fund civil society solutions to the problems brought about by the CoronaVirus. Tracie and Lawson have some of the best windows into what's working and what isn't working throughout the United States. One surprising conclusion that we reached is that are actually good reasons for optimism. As Tracie points out, “after the Black Plague, a renaissance occurred” and a silver lining to this pandemic may be that we rethink a lot of our institutions, the way we do things. For example, schools have been shut down, and it's forced a lot of people into either homeschooling in the case of K-12 or computer-based, Zoom-based classes in the case of colleges. There's over 100 of these kind of solution ideas on the State Policy Network website spn.org/coronavirus of private, voluntary action that really show America at its best. “We're seeing neighbor helping neighbor.” This is where philanthropy can step up and help really alleviate the suffering that's going on, get our economy going again, and getting people back to work.

On the new Remnant, Jonah talks with James Pethokoukis, a fellow at AEI, about how markets are reacting to coronavirus and what the recovery might look like. (V-shaped? U-shaped? Nike swoosh-shaped?) As a result of their isolation-based hallucinations, they also get particularly animated in the rank punditry and pop culture portions - so don’t miss out on their hottest Star Trek takes, or Jim’s shocking defense of the finales of Lost and Battlestar Galactica. Show Notes: -Jim’s podcast, Political Economy -Suicide of the West (now out in paperback!) -AOC’s late-stage capitalism tweet -Trump’s “Opening Our Country Council” -“Assume a can opener” -Bill Bennett saying that coronavirus isn’t a pandemic -Some craziness from Claremont -James’ column: is this really a black swan? -Pale Rider, about the 1918 flu -Star Trek’s transporter is a copy-kill-paste machine -DonorsTrust.org/dingo -Bound by Oath, a podcast by the Institute for Justice See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Jonah continues the great Remnant tradition of allowing senior National Review political correspondent Jim Geraghty to dispense genuinely unique and fascinating observations about current global issues. And what better time could there be for that than right now? During a moment in which even Americans’ feelings about a global health crisis break down along partisan lines rather than facts on the ground, Geraghty’s brand of succinct investigative reporting is a breath of fresh air. Show Notes: -Jim’s newsletter, The Morning Jolt -Latest updates on the lies that China has told -Tom Cotton talks about China re-closing movie theaters -Shortage of chemical reagents required to make COVID tests -Jonah’s column about Booker’s “moral imagination” -“Good luck” -Draft Cuomo 2020 -Yamiche Alcindor/Trump weirdness -DonorsTrust.org/dingo See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the American Dream dead? How are most Americans actually doing? Will the coronavirus kill us all? And most importantly, is Star Trek: Picard actually good?

Hope Manion of Fidelity Investments joined Chuck to discuss the firm's recent research showing that couples will spend, on average, $285,000 on health-care protection in retirement, and discussed how that large burden will only be met by people who understand and plan for the real cost of medical coverage for seniors.

Sign up for a newsletter? Ain’t nobody got time for that! Our best prospects - our website visitors - are getting away, and if we ignore the fact that donors between the age of 40 and 59 give online more than any other age group, we’re leaving a lot of money on the table. If we want people to give, we need to go first, and the easiest way to do that is with a digital giveaway that solves a problem *they* perceive… in exchange for an email address. This is common practice in the marketing space, but in the freedom movement, not so much. Except at DonorsTrust, which is why I’m SO excited to share how their Director of Growth Strategies Peter Lipsett is turning website visitors into prospective clients — and how other pro-liberty organizations can do it, too. So here’s what you’ll learn in this episode of Leading Liberty: The difference between billboard marketing vs. content marketing — and why it matters How DonorsTrust built half of its email list with a free PDF How basic email segmentation can trigger that indispensable human point of contact The 4 steps to making a bulletproof case for content marketing at your own organization Where non-profits can get $10,000 worth of advertising for free And lots more So on that note, let’s dive into the interview!
