Air Date: 3/11/2026 Today is episode 1776, in the year of our nation's 250th birthday, and we thought the occasion called for something big. So, we're tracing the full arc — from the constitutional compromises that made this country possible to the authoritarian vanity project that those compromises eventually also made possible. We're talking about the history, the structures, and the insecure current-but-temporary president who thinks a $400 million ballroom and a coin with his face on both sides will make him a pharaoh.

The Arc de Triomphe (standing in for the proposed "arch d'Trump"), a gilded White House facade, and a rendering of Trump's proposed gilded ballroom all stand behind an image of Trump giving two thumbs up. He is smiling and wearing a tall Uncle Sam-style hat, unaware a bald eagle is about to attack. A gold ribbon with 250th in awkward gold letters floats above it all.

From the youngest in a family of eight boys, in a small village, to the greatest king ever to sit on the throne of Israel, David's life was anything but ordinary. Anointed to be king as a young teenager, his 17-year path toward that goal was replete with the wildest obstacles, from his brothers' jealousy and mockery, to confronting a giant, to evading the king's jealous madness, to becoming Israel's public enemy #1. David learned trust in God back when he was a young shepherd and it served him well when he led a dubious band of warriors to help him elude King Saul. A part of David's legacy we savor today is the Book of Psalms, that collection of intimate, raw glimpses into the heart of one real, lusty, flawed, worshiper of God.

There were more than 70,000 cases of alleged drug use during pregnancy sent to law enforcement officials across 21 states over six years, including Oregon. As reported in The Marshall Project, these cases involved unreliable drug tests that show inaccurate results, are difficult to read or are simply wrong. In Oregon, and in 12 other states, welfare agencies automatically report any positive test result to authorities. Shoshana Walter is a staff writer for The Marshall Project and reported on this trend with Jill Castellano. Walter joins us to share more on these tests.

Yes, you can, you just have to find the right host, but the podcast genre is so broad that the listener has to be selective! Most popular with audiences are those interview shows like Joe Rogan. His interviews are what I call “long form,” or greater than 45 minutes. Unlike Larry King, Joe Rogan knows enough to let his guest be the star of the show.

Trump's Middle East Legacy and Israel's Judicial Crisis. Examining the Trump administration's lasting diplomatic legacy, Peter Berkowitz praises the embassy move to Jerusalem, the withdrawal from the flawed Iran deal, and the strategic Abraham Accords. He also analyzes Israel's internal turmoil over its overly activist Supreme Court, which sparked mass protests prior to the ongoing war. #111903 SAINT LAWRENCE
Today, we tackle controversy head-on. Donald Trump. Love him or hate him, he's exposed something in the church—something uncomfortable, something necessary.Millions of Christians rally behind a flawed man—not because he's perfect, not because he fits our expectations, but because he stands, he resists, he refuses to bow. That's biblical. That's bold. That's costly.He's mocked, attacked, and relentlessly condemned. The world says Christians are compromised. But Scripture says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord." –Isaiah 55:8This isn't political worship. It's spiritual warfare. It's a test of faith, courage, and conviction.So, what will you do when your moment arrives? Will you shrink, or will you stand?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in relentless biblical truth.Episode Highlights02:51 – It's about honesty, the kind of honesty that makes people uncomfortable because it forces self-examination instead of finger-pointing. Scripture tells us this in Isaiah 55:8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. God has never been constrained by human expectations, social approval, or elite opinion, and he certainly doesn't submit his plan to media narratives. What if this controversy isn't about Trump at all? What if it's about us? What if this movement is revealing what we really believe about sin, grace, forgiveness, power, and redemption? That's what we're going to confront in today's episode, and we're going to do it honestly, biblically, and as always, without a single apology.37:13 – And that's why today's episode matters, because the gospel doesn't begin with pointing outward. It begins with confession. It begins with humility. It begins with acknowledging that every believer stands before God on equal footing—broken, dependent, and in need of mercy. Trump didn't create this hypocrisy, but he did reveal it.52:31 – Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings or of God? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. That question sits at the center of everything that we discussed on today's episode. If today's episode caused you to examine your heart, your assumptions, and your allegiance more honestly, well, then I did my job. Christianity has never been about comfort, consensus, or cultural applause. It's always been about obedience, truth, and complete and utter surrender.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

The conversation explores the theme of freedom in identity and the importance of receiving grace. It delves into the idea of the light revealing one's true self, the struggle of flawed men of faith, the process of losing and finding identity, choosing honesty over hiding, simple steps to freedom, and the concept of no condemnation in Christ.TakeawaysFreedom in identityReceiving graceChapters00:00 The Light Reveals You05:14 Simple Steps to Freedom

The Wrecking Crew has solid performances and surprisingly decent character work holding it together. The chemistry works—Jason plays the reckless cop, Dave the disciplined Navy SEAL—and you can tell they're having fun, even if Jason flirts with going a little too extra. Bautista is the standout here. The story itself is pretty standard, but I was genuinely surprised by how much time they spent exploring the fractured brother relationship and emotional baggage—it actually lands. Unfortunately, the movie stumbles with predictable twists, over-the-top action logic, and a painfully weak, cookie-cutter villain. Bottom line: I had fun with it, but it's messy and very by-the-numbers. #TheWreckingCrew #MovieReview #ActionMovies #JasonMomoa #DaveBautista #ActionFilm #MovieTalk #FilmReview #PopcornMovie #ActionFans #WeekendWatch

Let's discuss the impact of societal and personal conditioning on self-perception, the significance of self-forgiveness, and the necessity of repairing relationships.

How does Film Noir show us terrible people doing terrible things without endorsing it? Mel and Chas continue to explore what Noir (the genre) can teach writers of all other genres. In particular: how to keep the audience on side of characters doing reprehensible things how to control your audience understanding of those reprehensible actions distinguishing between characters undergoing transformative arcs against discovering their true natures In finding the common craft tools of Noir over 100 years, this Part 2 looks at two modern noirs - DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS (1995) and WOMAN OF THE HOUR (2024) - after Part 1 looked at the classic DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE LONG GOODBYE.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric turn up the heat as they break down the real vs. fake side of the business influencer world. From internet gurus to billion-dollar founders, they ask the tough questions most podcasts avoid—like who's pretending, who's giving bad advice from their ivory tower, and who would actually survive starting over from zero. On this episode we talk about: The difference between a real entrepreneur and an online persona Why so much business advice only works if you're already rich The influencers who couldn't rebuild if they lost everything The fine line between helpful inspiration and harmful messaging How flashy “success stories” twist the meaning of ethics and authenticity Top 3 Takeaways Many creators give advice that sounds profound—but only makes sense once you've already made your millions. Real entrepreneurs lead with integrity and consistency. Their offline life should match their online brand. Before acting on anyone's advice, ask yourself: “Does this apply to my current reality?” Context matters more than charisma. Notable Quotes “It's easy to say ‘just be happy' when you've already got millions in the bank.” “Too many people copy characters they built online and forget who they really are.” “I filter everything through two questions: Is it useful, and does it hurt other people?” Connect with Travis Chappell:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell• Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell• Other (Website): https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is brought to you by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Most people are taught to buy term insurance and invest the rest—but what if that advice is based on a massive misunderstanding of how life insurance actually works? In this episode, we break down why dividend-paying whole life insurance is fundamentally misclassified, how insurance companies really make money, and why Nelson Nash believed banking, not investing, was the missing piece. In WTB Episode 253, we continue our deep dive into Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash, focusing on mortality tables, underwriting, modified endowment contracts (MECs), and why whole life insurance behaves more like a banking system than an insurance product. We explore: Why term insurance is incredibly profitable for insurance companies How underwriting selects for people who actually live longer Why retirement at 65 was built on a flawed assumption How MEC rules really work (and why they're not the end of the world) Why universal life, variable life, and indexed UL fail long-term How to properly structure a whole life policy for Infinite Banking If you've ever been told "whole life is bad," this episode explains where that belief came from—and why it persists. Key Takeaways: Death is not an if—it's a when, and insurance should be structured accordingly Term insurance is statistically designed not to pay out Responsible, underwritten individuals live longer—and insurers know it Whole life insurance is misclassified, leading to bad financial decisions Infinite Banking works best when cash value is prioritized over death benefit MEC policies aren't catastrophic—but understanding the rules matters Chapters: (00:00) – Why the insurance industry misunderstands its own products (05:50) – Mortality tables, underwriting, and who actually lives longer (10:52) – Retirement at 65 and the Social Security fallacy (18:03) – MEC rules, overfunding, and policy design explained (31:27) – Why universal, variable, and indexed life insurance fail (39:21) – Why Infinite Banking is caught, not taught

A FLAWED TRIBUNAL: INCOMPETENT PROSECUTORS AND CRANKY JUDGES Colleague Professor Gary J. Bass. The tribunal, involving nine Allied nations, suffered from personnel issues driven by President Truman'scronyism. Unlike the selection of Robert Jackson for Nuremberg, Truman appointed Joseph Keenan, an undistinguished and alcoholic figure, as chief prosecutor. Keenan was intellectually outclassed by the international judges and failed to match the gravity of the proceedings. The trial, spanning two and a half years and 50,000 pages of transcripts, was presided over by the Australian Sir William Webb. Webb's abrasive management style and "crankiness" alienated his colleagues and favored the prosecution, undermining the appearance of a fair trial. NUMBER 41933 TOKYO
What can Film Noir teach us about character arcs and audience engagement? In this two part series, Mel and Chas use Noir (the genre) as a lens to interrogate flawed characters. How can characters doing reprehensible things still engage audiences? How can you ensure representation isn't endorsement? And whether these characters undergo transformative arcs, or simply reveal their true natures? Part 1 focuses on two (now classic) noirs: DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE LONG GOODBYE. While Part 2 looks at two more contemporary examples DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESs and WOMAN OF THE HOUR. As always: SPOILERS ABOUND and all copyright material used under fair use for educational purposes.
