Send us fan responses! What if “public safety” started before the sirens? We unpack a community policing model built to prevent harm, cool down conflict, and open real-time channels between neighbors and municipal departments. Our focus is practical: live scenario training, de-escalation for domestic violence and high-stress encounters, and a notification framework that helps local agencies recognize who you are, why you're there, and how to coordinate without friction.We talk about how policy shapes police behavior and how community officers can complement that mission by stabilizing situations police can't prioritize—family crises, building disputes, and day-to-day tensions that simmer into emergencies. You'll hear how the program equips officers with scannable IDs, certificates for hospitals and courts, and guidance for notifying sheriffs and departments, aiming for faster verification and fewer escalations during traffic stops, welfare checks, or courthouse visits. “Peaceful compliance” sets the tone: non-threatening posture, precise language, and clear boundaries that lower adrenaline for everyone.Looking ahead, we map a pathway from foundational community work into specialized tracks—bodyguard operations, cybersecurity, counterintelligence—and a forthcoming community crime lab focused on both violent incidents and the financial harms that destabilize neighborhoods. The application process emphasizes character and fit, offers payment flexibility, and connects you with regional directors and ongoing education, including updates on court changes and tech like AI-driven enforcement.If you care about safer streets, fewer crises, and real cooperation with departments, this is a blueprint you can act on.

Andy Schectman, President of Miles Franklin, rejoins the program to break down the explosive surge in silver prices — and the unmistakable signs of manipulation now appearing across global markets.As silver pushes into a new phase of volatility, Andy explains what is really driving the move, who's behind the suppression patterns, and why the disconnect between physical demand and paper pricing is becoming impossible to hide. We explore what this emerging pressure means not only for silver investors, but for industries dependent on silver, the global supply chain, and the stability of the world economy.

Iowa Business Report Friday EditionDec. 26, 2025           Creighton University economist Dr. Ernie Goss on the danger of expecting government payouts when an economic sector falters. 

In this episode, Brian and Ryan break down the LPL Research 2026 Outlook and translate Wall Street research into plain-English takeaways for investors.The big theme for 2026: markets are being driven less by traditional fundamentals and more by policy decisions, momentum, and investor behavior. Brian and Ryan discuss what that means for the economy, stock market expectations, and fixed income—and how investors should think about positioning portfolios heading into the year.Rather than reacting to headlines, this conversation focuses on staying disciplined, patient, and aligned with long-term goals in what is likely to be a more volatile, policy-sensitive market environment.The Economy: Slower First, Stronger LaterExpectations for a modest economic slowdown early in 2026Why AI investment and fiscal spending may help prevent a recessionCooling labor markets, easing inflation pressures, and what that means for Federal Reserve policyWhy rate cuts are expected to be gradual, not aggressive  Stocks: Bull Market, But With More BumpsWhy the bull market may extend into 2026—but with more tempered gainsElevated valuations and the likelihood of increased volatility in a mid-cycle yearThe role of AI enthusiasm in supporting equity marketsWhy patience and selective opportunities matter more than chasing headlinesLPL Research's S&P 500 fair value range of 7,300–7,400 for 2026  Bonds and Cash: Income Over Price AppreciationWhy bonds are again offering meaningful income opportunitiesExpectations for 10-year Treasury yields in the 3.75%–4.25% rangeWhy returns on cash are likely to decline as rates fallThe case for high-quality, intermediate-term bonds for long-term investors  Markets may be noisier and more policy-driven in 2026—but discipline, diversification, and patience remain the most reliable tools investors have.

מבחינת הממשלה, זו המטרה הנכספת: שאנחנו נריב על חניונים בזמן שהיא מבצעת את זממה בדמוקרטיה הישראלית ובציבור הרחב. ולמה בעצם חניות מוציאות מאיתנו אמוציות כאלה? אולי כי זו טריטוריית השליטה האחרונה שעוד נותרה לנו, ולכן נילחם עליה עד הסוף הוקלט באולפני המרכז לתרבות מונגשת

דילן פילד, ילד הפלא שייסד את פיגמה והפך למיליארדר בגיל 30, הרעיד לפני שבועות אחדים את הביצה המקומית כשרכש את Weavy הישראלית ב־200 מיליון דולר, שנה בלבד אחרי שקמה. בריאיון בלעדי ל"מוסף כלכליסט" הוא מספר כיצד פרסומת למיקרוסופט שהשתתף בה בילדותו הכינה אותו להתמודדות הקשוחה בענף, מודה לפיטר תיל שגרם לו לעזוב את האוניברסיטה, נזכר בשרת בית הספר שפתר איתו משוואות מתמטיות מסובכות, ומנסה להצביע על הרגע שבו נדע אם ה־AI הוא בועה הוקלט באולפני המרכז לתרבות מונגשת

לאבוקדו לקח לא מעט זמן לתפוס כאן. אבל מרגע שזה קרה, הישראלים התמכרו, וזינקו לצמרת הצריכה העולמית לנפש. החקלאים התמסרו, כי התברר שהוא משתלם מאוד. ואפילו השווקים בעולם התעוררו, מתעלמים מכך שמדובר בפרי ציוני. ארי ליבסקר יצא למסע בין המטעים מהגליל עד העוטף, וגילה איך ולמה הפרי הירוק (או השחור) החליף את התפוזים, ומה אנחנו יכולים ללמוד ממנו על בני אדם הוקלט באולפני המרכז לתרבות מונגשת

US GDP utterly crushed it in Q3 and that was following Q2 when output supposedly was well more than expected, so two quarters in a row of booming numbers. So why isn't anyone buying it? To begin with, just look at gold and silver. Safe haven buying is literally off the charts. Bond yields didn't react at all.

Coastal Economy and Tourism face a serious threat as the US government moves forward with a plan to open more than one billion acres of ocean to offshore oil and gas drilling, a decision that could impact beaches, fisheries, tourism jobs, and coastal communities for decades. This episode explains why this proposal matters now and how it could reshape life along the coasts of California, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico. Offshore oil drilling is often framed as an economic benefit, but this conversation reveals a very different reality. Pete Stauffer from the Surfrider Foundation breaks down how tourism, recreation, and fishing support millions more jobs than oil and gas, and why a single spill can shut down beaches, fisheries, and local businesses for months or even years. Ocean conservation becomes deeply personal in this episode when Pete shares how communities still feel the impacts of oil spills years later, including business owners who lost income, beaches closed for days, and volunteers stepping up to document pollution when official systems failed. The surprising truth is that offshore drilling is widely unpopular across political lines, and grassroots action has stopped similar plans before.

In the final episode of 2025, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo reflect on a turbulent year for technology, capital markets, and Canadian innovation, while looking ahead to the forces that will shape 2026. The conversation opens with Canada's largest private startup round of the year, a $1.76B raise by Toronto based HydroStar Energy Storage, and uses it as a springboard to examine the AI shakeout now underway. John describes the sector as entering a “forest fire” phase, where overfunded and undifferentiated companies fall away, creating room for stronger, more durable players to emerge.Matt and John then explore whether 2026 will finally mark a return of major tech IPOs, or whether the regulatory burden and liquidity options in private markets will keep companies like SpaceX, Stripe, and OpenAI on the sidelines. Despite interest rate cuts, the hosts argue capital markets remain constrained and selective.The discussion shifts to Canada's strategic priorities, including a growing focus on defense technology viewed through a dual use lens of sovereignty and innovation. As talent emigration rises and domestic risk capital lags, the episode closes with a clear warning. Without addressing capital access, taxation, and long term retention, Canada risks becoming a leaky boat, losing its builders and economic future to the United States.The 2025 AI Shakeout & The 2026 Forest Fire (02:06)John predicts a period of simultaneous “carnage” and opportunity in AI, comparing the market to a forest fire that burns the weak but creates fertile ground for the strong. They debate which companies are the true “sequoias” built to last.IPO or Bust? The Reluctant March to Public Markets (04:57)With rumors swirling around SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI, Matt and John explore why 2026 might see major IPOs. John argues that many are driven not by ambition, but by investor pressure for liquidity, calling it a “panacea” for fund timelines rather than a strategic goal.Rate Cuts & Stagnation: Why Cheap Money Isn't Fixing Canada's Economy (07:28)Despite multiple rate cuts in 2025, investment activity remains sluggish. The hosts diagnose a holding pattern for Canada's economy, where further cuts risk devaluing the dollar without spurring meaningful productivity gains.Bullets, Bombs, and Blockchain: Canada's New Defense Tech Mandate (08:17)Matt highlights new government funds for defense tech. John reframes the spending as critical for “physical sovereignty” in a tech-driven Cold War, emphasizing the “dual-use” nature of investments in AI, quantum, and satellite technology.Predictions for 2026: Agents, Physical AI, and Nuclear's Comeback (11:23)The hosts share their forecasts: Matt bets on AI “agents” automating complex workflows and tangible ROI finally hitting enterprise software. John is bullish on “AI meeting the physical world” through robotics and autonomous machinery, and predicts a major comeback for nuclear energy.Canada's Leaky Boat: The Capital and Talent Retention Crisis (18:32)Addressing record-high emigration, John identifies the twin failures crippling Canadian innovation: a lack of domestic risk capital at scale and an uncompetitive personal tax regime. He warns that without urgent fixes in the next budget, the brain drain will accelerate, with U.S. capital actively pulling companies and founders south.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

This is the strangest economy I've seen in my lifetime. If you just looked at the macro data — the jobs numbers, G.D.P., the stock market — things look pretty normal. But they clearly aren't normal. The Trump administration spent the year upending the global trade system while tech companies spent hundreds of billions of dollars on A.I., a technology that could potentially displace many of our jobs. And people don't feel normal, either. Survey data shows that the vibecession rages on.Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal are the co-hosts of the excellent economics podcast “Odd Lots” and have closely followed all the chaos this year.

America has never been wealthier—so why does it feel so hard to get by?  New York Times economics reporter Talmon Joseph Smith joins Nick and Goldy this week to unpack the growing gap between economic headlines and the lived reality of most Americans. With nearly $200 trillion in national wealth and half the country holding just a sliver of it, they explore why GDP and aggregate growth keep telling a story working families don't recognize—and what that disconnect means for our economy and our politics. Talmon Joseph Smith is an economics reporter currently covering labor markets, inequality, and political economy. His recent work at The New York Times has focused on the tension between headline economic indicators and lived economic reality. His forthcoming book, Clout and Capital, examines how power, influence, and wealth shape economic outcomes in America.

Back in October, foreigners sold a massive $61.2 billion in LT UST assets, the most since April. While that may sound like the “sell America” and Treasury rejection narrative from the summer, it's actually proof that the Fed's bank reserves are irrelevant. Remember October? Repo rates soaring. Use of the Fed's repo facility skyrocketed.
