Today, I'm interviewing Dr. Brandon Peters-Mathews about his article on insomnia. This article appears in the August 2026 Continuum issue on Neurology of Sleep. Welcome to the podcast, and please introduce yourself to our audience.  Dr Peters-Mathews: It's my pleasure to join you, and I'm happy to talk about this article. I think it's an interesting one for most folks. I am a board-certified sleep neurologist. I practice at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in Seattle. I did my neurology training back at the University of Minnesota and my sleep training at Stanford University. I've been in practice for more than thirteen years at this point. It's hard to believe, but it's exciting to be able to speak with you today.  Dr Grouse: This is definitely an important topic for everybody. Certainly, sleep and the lack of it affects all of our patients, and I can't imagine there's a single clinical neurologist who doesn't have to answer questions and help evaluate patients with this problem, so very high-yield topic for everyone. Now, having read your article, I'm curious if you had to choose one key point that you want the readers of your article to take away after reading it, what would it be?  Dr Peters-Mathews: Emphasize for my patients that insomnia is a condition that we can work through and resolve, that if we really can understand the underlying contributing causes and resolve those issues, we can typically improve sleep. It's a process. It takes time. It takes some attention and, and sometimes even testing to figure out what's going on. But if we can dial into these root causes, we can typically help somebody to sleep much better. As part of that, we often employ a therapy called CBT-I, which we'll talk about here a little bit later. But that also helps us to identify some of these contributing factors that are leading to the poor sleep.  Dr Grouse: And I definitely want to talk more about CBT, it's such an important topic. But even before we get into that, I'd love it if you could just walk us through a hypothetical case of a patient with insomnia. I think the type of patient that I think we've all seen in our clinical practice and somebody who says, "You know, I've had poor sleep. I've had insomnia for many years. I've tried all of the things you're supposed to try. You know, I've tried sleep hygiene. I've tried this. I've tried that. I've tried medications. Nothing seems to work." Could you walk us through how you would evaluate a patient like this and start to consider what to recommend? Dr Peters-Mathews: So, some simple information that we can gather, would be information about when they're trying to go to bed, how long it's taking them to fall asleep initially. If they wake in the night and have trouble getting back to sleep, how often they wake in the night. If they're experiencing early morning awakenings, their final wake time, and when they actually get out of bed in the morning. That gives me a sense of the structure of their sleep pattern and whether or not they might be spending an excessive amount of time in bed for their own sleep need at their current age. The other factors that we might consider are sleep disorders, and typically, I would assess for other symptoms that would point me towards sleep apnea or restless legs and occasionally other disorders of sleep. We wanna make sure we're not missing comorbid conditions that might be affecting that person. These often include mood disorders. Sleep and mood walk hand in hand, and so anxiety and depression are important to identify and treat if present. We also want to make sure someone's not suffering from chronic pain or other conditions that might be impacting their sleep. So, I take a broad approach. I ask the same questions to each patient that comes to see me. I wanna make sure I'm not missing some of these details. And then some of these folks will require testing to further understand their sleep. Others may move on to a different therapy, and long-term may require even other interventions, including medications, to fully resolve their condition.  Dr Grouse: You mentioned in your article circadian rhythm sleep disorders. How often are these really a factor in patients with chronic insomnia? And do you think that's something that we as kind of first-line clinicians should be screening for as well?  Dr Peters-Mathews: So delayed sleep phase syndrome is the most common circadian disorder, and these are folks who are night owls by nature. They often develop their sleep patterns, as teenagers, if not before, and they may fade away in the working years but come back in retirement age. I would say that's a very common condition. It may affect as many as one in ten people. The other circadian disorders are pretty uncommon, so advanced sleep phase syndrome, where somebody is sleepy early and waking too early, that may only affect one in three hundred people. There are other conditions that affect specific populations, like non-twenty-four circadian pattern affects blind people. Typically, half of blind people have that condition. There are conditions that affect the regularity of sleep, so an irregular sleep-wake pattern that might occur more in folks with maybe an advanced dementia. So, there are populations where these conditions can be fairly common, but among the general population, that night owl tendency is by far the most common.  Dr Grouse: That's really helpful. And just taking a step back, why is insomnia bad for us? So, we worry about this in our patients. We know it can make neurologic issues worse. But in general, like, what are the reasons that having poor sleep can affect our health? Dr Peters-Mathews: Yeah, and it's not enough hours, certainly quantity, but also quality of sleep that matters. And I tell people that sleep is a pillar of health, just like nutrition and exercise. It's the other main contributor to our health and well-being. And so, it has its fingers in almost every aspect of our health. Insomnia on its own is a risk factor for other psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, even disorders like bipolar and schizophrenia. Folks with insomnia are more likely to have alcohol or drug abuse issues and are at higher risk for things like chronic pain, suicide and, and social and occupational dysfunction. So, it's a disorder that has a really profound effect on how someone functions during the day, and again, may take a toll on their health over time.  Dr Grouse: That makes sense, and I would assume that there are certain populations within our neurology practices where we should really be attuned to the risk of insomnia. Are there specific populations you'd recommend really make it a habit of screening for insomnia?  Dr Peters-Mathews: I was joking with someone recently that anyone with a neurological nervous system can have issues, impacted by poor sleep. There are certain groups, so chronic headache patients are perhaps one that might warrant a further evaluation and management. Folks with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's may have physical conditions that lead to more discomfort in sleep, fewer movements of their body in sleep, issues around nocturia that would disturb their sleep. Certainly, those with dementia, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia overlap a lot, as does multiple system atrophy. That can point us towards other conditions like REM sleep behavior disorder, but also insomnia can be an important feature of those disorders as well. And then folks with stroke often have disturbance to their sleep and may develop insomnia after experiencing a stroke. So those are specific populations where I think the yield is high to be looking for insomnia and other sleep disorders.  Dr Grouse: Yeah, that makes sense. I think a lot of us think of insomnia as almost like, make sure we're not missing this as sort of a mimic of the problem, when in fact it's probably just more part and parcel of the problem and something we need to be thinking about treating as part of their disorder. So helpful to think about it in that light, at least in my own mind. Now, I want to get a little bit back to some of the therapies you've recommended, and I think first just stopping again at sleep hygiene. Your article has a really great list, I think, of sort of like a checklist of actions that people should be taking to make sure that they are managing their sleep hygiene well. And I definitely recommend our listeners look to that. How often do you think that focusing on sleep hygiene helps when you get a patient who says, "Hey, I have got terrible sleep. You know, what do I do?"  Dr Peters-Mathews: It's pretty common for people to have access to this information through their own reading online, and most folks have worked through this by the time they've come to see me, and often a primary care provider or specialist may have given some of this guidance as well. It's pretty rare for them to not recognize something as obvious as having caffeine too late in the day by the time they're coming to my attention. The sleep hygiene generally is used as a control when we do research to look at how something like medication is working or CBT-I might be working. It's the comparative control. It's almost like the null intervention. So, it's not highly effective, and if folks are not finding it helpful, they've made those adjustments to their sleep environment or their habits, and they're continuing to have issues, there's typically more that needs to be done, and that's where CBT-I really comes in as a strong intervention for those people.  Dr Grouse: And then getting on the topic of CBT-I, so helpful. I'm really glad that your article spent a lot of time talking about it as really a truly high-yield, great intervention for insomnia. And I really felt that the question shouldn't be: When is cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia helpful? But like, when isn't it helpful? What are your thoughts about that?  Dr Peters-Mathews: Yeah. I always point out that the American College of Physicians has recommended CBT-I for adult patients as the initial treatment for chronic insomnia even before the use of a medication for nearly ten years. That recommendation came out in July of 2016. So, there are folks who may not be good candidates for it, who may be screened out because of other conditions that they have, and there certainly are folks who don't do as well with CBT-I. And adherence is important. Somebody needs to be able to follow the instructions and apply that to their lives. And certainly, there are a number of things that could interfere with that compliance. I would say untreated anxiety and pain are two things that often trip people up. It's like running a race with a broken leg. Despite their best efforts, if those are not addressed, they will continue to have issues around insomnia. And then one thing that often is unrecognized and may be missed is untreated sleep apnea. That is a common contributor to a chronic insomnia, especially in older folks, women beyond the age of menopause and men even starting in middle age, thirties and forties. We don't want to miss sleep apnea. Even insomnia that's, "I can't fall asleep at the beginning of night," that could still be sleep apnea, so that's something I really emphasize with my patients.  Dr Grouse: Really great reminder about sleep apnea for sure. Something that always is beneficial to make sure we are not missing. Oftentimes I'll bring up a CBT for insomnia, and what is that? Like, what would we actually do, and what is a high-level overview of what happens with CBT-I?  Dr Peters-Mathews: Yeah. So, I generally tell my patients that this is a six-week program. It's a structured program, almost like a boot camp for sleep, in which we are addressing underlying causes, recognizing what those are and, and working through those underlying causes. There is often tracking using a sleep log or sometimes wearable data.To guide decisions that are made in the program. It's very goal-directed, science-based therapy. We often introduce concepts around sleep drive, circadian rhythm dealing with a busy mind at night. There's concepts of mindfulness and relaxation training that are introduced. People often are able to taper or stop using sleeping pills as part of this therapy. And the nice thing is they walk away with a set of skills that they can apply the rest of their lives to sleep more normally. And so, there's good research that suggests even years after someone's completed a CBT-I course, they continue to sleep more normally. They have the tools that they need to sleep better even years beyond that education.  Dr Grouse: You know, this just sounds so great. It almost sounds like why wouldn't someone benefit from this? But of course, like I would imagine many institutions experience, I've definitely run into difficulties with access for my patients for CBT-I, and we have long wait lists. And I imagine there's many places where there just aren't even any specialists that patients can get to, to help with this. What are the resources that our listeners can take advantage of for their patients to get access to these types of therapies?  Dr Peters-Mathews: So, one thing I tried to really emphasize in the article is that there are resources that can be drawn in. I'll give you some examples. So, at our institution, we have three sleep specialists, full-time sleep specialists, who trained at Stanford to become CBT-I specialists, and so we have more resources than probably most institutions would have. We do shared medical appointment workshops so that we can manage the number of patients that we have to see. And, and unfortunately, not everybody has that opportunity. You might plug into resources in your community, and one of the resources I point to in the article is the International Directory that's managed by the University of Pennsylvania that has eight hundred and seventy-five CBT-I specialists listed with contact information, et cetera. And I think that's an amazing opportunity to access this therapy. Unfortunately, there are countries and certainly states that do not have a specialist, that there's no one in the state that provides this therapy. And then we need to extend other resources, and that could be online treatment programs that can be done independently, bibliotherapy, so accessing books that could guide people through the therapy, even accessing other apps and maybe even wearables that pair with an app that could provide some of this guidance. The Veterans Administration worked with Stanford and worked with the National Center for PTSD and developed an app called CBT-I Coach that is free and can be downloaded and, and gives, I think, good education, good guidance. So, there are resources that exist. It's somewhat finding what might work for your individual patient, how they're preferring to access this or their learning preferences. Do they want to read a book or not? And getting them into the right pathway.  Dr Grouse: And I think that gets me into a whole other Pandora's box of the fact that they're already out there in the world are tons of different apps, wearable devices, all sorts of things that promise that they can help us with sleep, some that may have more, I think, data and evidence behind them than others. Do any of these apps or wearables in your mind show promise in our patients helping our patients track and diagnose and manage their insomnia?  Dr Peters-Mathews: Yeah, there's a lot out there, and unfortunately, some of these devices actually can make sleep worse. People can develop a condition called orthosomnia or straight sleep, where they're trying to perfect their sleep and their sleep numbers, their metrics, and the wearables feeding them data that they continue to try to improve upon. And that fixation on those metrics can actually make their sleep quite a bit worse. A lot of these wearables and apps and other resources have not been well-studied. There's not research trials showing outcomes comparing to other standards of care. I would say the basic guidance of CBT-I, which many of these programs are based on, I think will be helpful to the majority of folks who are able to engage and complete that education. A lot of these are not dependent on that sort of framework or structure so that we may not actually be using the standards of CBT-I to try to improve sleep. They may be connecting you with other resources, like listen to this sleep story or this relaxation file or do some meditation, et cetera, which again, may be of some benefit, but it is not the same as a structured CBT-I experience. So, I think there are a few good resources that we highlight within the article, and I think there are probably others coming that may give individuals a more individualized, directed approach to managing their sleep issues. But it's almost like going to the App Store and there's thousands of apps. It's hard to know which one might be most based on science or the most beneficial to that individual.  Dr Grouse: Well, I really appreciate in your article that you did have a great list of apps and things along those lines to try, so I do encourage our listeners to check that out as well. Some really, really great resources there in the article in many different areas. Now, I wanted to turn the conversation to a slightly different thing, which is medications for insomnia. Now, when are medications appropriate for treating insomnia? When should we be thinking about turning to these for our patients?  Dr Peters-Mathews: So again, we would suggest that CBT-I would be first, and that failing improvement with CBT-I, that medications would be extended to a person affected by insomnia. And over-the-counter options as well as prescription medications might be used. Unfortunately, that's not how things unfold in the real world. Many people are jumping to medications first, whether that be an over-the-counter supplement or other medication, or they're seeing primary care and other specialists who's providing them a prescription for sleep aid. So there's data from the CDC going back to twenty twenty that suggests that about six point three percent of adults were taking a sleeping medication every day in the months prior to the survey. And women who were older than sixty five, white women, were more likely to be using a sleeping medication every day. That number was 13.5 percent of those surveyed. So, lots of folks are on medications, and certainly melatonin is widely used. Unfortunately, it's not regulated by the FDA in a sense that we don't have exact concentrations controlled. So, people can take melatonin that has no melatonin in it. They might take melatonin that's forty or more times the dose. There's variance within lots from the same manufacturer. There's a lot of trouble knowing exactly what you're getting when you try to take something like melatonin over the counter. Other sleep aids that we might reach to over the counter, like variants of diphenhydramine or doxylamine, and these are often the PM drugs that we think about. They have risks associated with population-based studies which suggest risk of dementia, risk of falling, risk of mortality with these drugs, especially in older populations. So again, that would give us potentially pause. The prescription medications that we go to, there are some that the American Academy of Sleep Medicine would recommend as more beneficial than harmful, and some are good for both initiating and maintaining sleep. Some have such a short half-life that they're really best as initiation drugs. And then others are better for maintenance of sleep, so reducing awakenings and wakefulness in the night. My own individual take, often people are coming to me on medications, typically over the counter, but often prescriptions, and have even tried and failed many of those medications before they finally come to see a specialist. And so, I don't often reach to medications until I've exhausted CBT-I, until we've completed a sleep test to make sure we're not missing something like sleep apnea, until we've ruled out some other potential contributing causes. But there are patients I have who really will not sleep without medication support and sometimes even multiple medications that work in complementary ways to try to normalize their sleep. And so, in some cases it is necessary, but it is not meant to be a first line for anyone.  Dr Grouse: Yeah, and I think all of our listeners can relate to the fact that we often see patients who've been on sleep medicines for many, many years and take them every night. It's good to know that there is sort of a procedure here to consider and perhaps again, back to the plug to CBT-I as being the right starting point to see if there's some that we can help get off of these meds, although, as you mentioned, maybe not always going to be successful. Well, I really appreciate our conversation about this. It's been really great to read this article about insomnia. Again, I encourage our listeners to check it out. Some really great resources for many different therapies, thinking about other alternative diagnoses and different medical conditions where insomnia really needs to be considered. And I really appreciate you writing this article. It's been a pleasure to talk with you today.  Dr Peters-Mathews: It's my pleasure to share this information with folks, and I hope that you find it useful in your clinical practice or even your personal life as the need arises.  Dr Grouse: Again today, I've been interviewing Dr. Brandon Peters-Mathews about his article on insomnia.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 29th of August, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Malachi 3:6:“For I am the Lord, I do not change…” Isn't that amazing? When you think of the world we are living in at the moment, I mean it's changing by the minute and here's another scripture, Numbers 23:19: “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” A sure thing. Oh yes, that's one thing we can take for granted and of course the Master Himself, Jesus, in Matthew 24:35 said: ”Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” I want to really encourage you, as I'm encouraging myself today, to start taking God's Holy Word literally. You can count on it. It is for sure. If God has promised you, young lady, that He has a husband for you, you can be sure that husband is coming. Do not make a big mistake and run ahead of God and marry somebody because you think that you're becoming too old. Don't do that. God has got the man for you.I want to say to that young boy at school, who is struggling to get his finals. He's about to sit down and write them anyway, and he doesn't think he's going to pass. You call out to the Lord. The Lord says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5. Do your best and leave the rest to the Lord. God is faithful! We need to understand that. The only thing that can upset the Lord is our doubt. When we say, ”No Lord, You can't do that. It's too big.” No, don't do that. I can tell you by experience that the Lord that I am serving, the Lord that we are serving, if He says it, He'll do it. He promised me that He'd bring the biggest tent in the world to this farm. He did it. He promised me that He would bring a million people to one place in one day with six weeks to organise it. He did it. He promised me that if I am faithful, He will give me the strength to bring you a message every single morning. We are well over two thousand messages, different scriptures, different illustrations, every single morning without fail thus far. We are pressing towards three thousand Thoughts for Today. I think we should have a big party when that anniversary comes along.Folks, I can't encourage you enough today. Take your eyes off your situation. Put your eyes on Jesus, and He will do the rest. Have a wonderful day and God bless you.Goodbye.

Key Takeaways: Check Customer Credit Carefully: Before offering credit, businesses should understand a customer's ability to repay. Strong credit checks can reduce defaults and unpaid balances. Have a Plan for Bad Debt: Every business that offers credit needs clear rules for handling late or unpaid accounts. A strong debt management process can reduce financial losses. Build the Right Team: A team focused on credit checks, collections, and account management can help prevent financial problems and keep cash flowing. Follow Financial Regulations: Running a finance company comes with legal and regulatory responsibilities. Working with qualified legal and financial professionals helps ensure the business follows the rules. Keep Strong Cash Reserves: Maintaining enough cash to cover operating costs provides stability. Reserves give the business time and flexibility to handle slow periods, unexpected losses, or economic downturns.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary   0:00 Risks and Realities of Starting a Financial Company 2:19 Managing Bad Debt and Credit Control in Business Operations 5:25 Building a Strong Team for Business Financial Success 9:03 Organizing Family Life and Financial Management Tips Powered by ReiffMartin CPA and Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

Darrell Castle talks about the trade problems between the U.S. and Canada which Prime Minister Mark Carney has descibed as a war. Transcription / Notes OH CANADA CAN'T WE WORK THIS OUT? Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 28th day of August in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the trade problems between the U.S. and Canada which Prime Minister Mark Carney has described as a war. My argument is that he is right because it is war but not the one he wants you to concentrate on. This war is one between the very elite group of globalists who are also the enemies of humanity as they attempt to control all humanity through their control of money, credit, interest, and banking in general. Before he became Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney was head of the London Central Bank and I have no doubt that he was installed in Canada to be sure globalist control continues. Now the bankers appear to be very nervous with the U.S. mid-terms coming up so if only Trump could be damaged by this “trade war.” The tactic or strategy is what Carney and his operatives in the American Democrat Party call the doughnut strategy. They call it that because they want to go around the American President through Democrat leadership directly to the American people. Convince them that trump is at economic war with nice, friendly Canada and maybe the usual group of globalist bankers can take back control in November. Don't get me wrong here folks I still think the Iran war was and is about the stupidest foreign policy decision in American history. I have a theory that the reason those American sailors during World War ll could stay at sea in desperate combat for years without complaint and the sailors on the Lincoln were suicidal after 9 months. World War ll sailors were fighting for their parents, wives, girlfriends, their way of life and they knew it. Nobody had to feed them a pack of lies to keep them going but in Iran the sailors know that it is stupid and pointless and its purpose is nothing American. That is a morale killer if I've ever heard of one. Yes, you are right about him being crass, vulgar, egotistical in ways we've never seen before and in ways that makes one wonder if he is delusional about himself. He is a flawed candidate and a flawed human being but if you study our history flawed human beings are numerous in leadership and sometimes in greatness. Barack Obama, and Joe Biden were both vulgar and egotistical as well but they didn't flaunt it quite as well as Donald Trump. The U.S. and Canada have a long history of cooperation primarily in two areas, economic and military. Canada contributed greatly to the allied efforts during World War ll both in troops and in manufacturing. When the war ended both Canada and the U.S. had a new enemy called the Soviet Union. The Soviets were right at the edge of Europe and it was generally assumed that they would invade any day. NATO was formed to resist the Soviet menace and that included Canada. Generally speaking, Canada has always remained more closely allied with Europe especially the UK than with the U.S. although the two militaries were integrated for mutual protection against the soviet threat. NORAD, the North American Air Defense system famously headquartered in a rock mountain in Colorada has Canadian military warning systems integrated. If a Soviet missile were launched against the U.S. in those days it was expected to come from the north across the Arctic and parts of Canada. The two nations built a network of radar early warning systems across the northern part of Canada and they are still functional today. So, the two sides have a mutually beneficial military relationship and both apparently want that relationship to continue. Although the Canadian military is an empty shell of what it once was the two sides still need each other. The U.S. needs the strategic depth that Canada provides as much as it ever has since tensions with Russia always seem to be there. Canada needs U.S. manufacturing and defense technology and so the military relationship remains intact. Economically, well that's another matter completely. The U.S. has some room to maneuver economically because about 72% of all the products Canada exports come to the U.S. President Trump wants to shift the economic relationship to one a little more favorable to the U.S. because as he sees it Canada taxes U.S. goods going into Canada at a much higher rate that the U.S. taxes theirs. That is a practice that Trump referred to as acting like the 51st state without all the responsibility of statehood.  The two sides set down last week to talk and try to resolve the matter and for a while it seemed like they had a deal. President Trump announced that they had a deal pending finalization of documents and the threatened 50% tariffs were lifted until the documents were finalized. All of a sudden at about midnight on Friday the Prime Minister called his diplomats home and announced in a solemn interview that Canada had been attacked and it was therefore at war with the United States. There are videos, and I concede that with AI who knows what is real, but the videos I'm referring to show Democrat operatives the most prominent of which is Hilary Clinton plotting with Carney to keep this disagreement going until after the midterms. Will it work. Time will tell but not everyone was as impressed with Carney's characterization of the breakdown as he seemed to be. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that the U.S. presented Canada with the best trade terms of any country in the world but Canada wants to retain all tariffs of their own while removing all American tariffs. There seems to be growing dissatisfaction in the parts of Canada where people still work for a living and workers realize the Canadian position in these negotiations will probably cost their jobs. Already the median standard of living in the U.S. is about $90 thousand while in Canada its about $60 thousand. The other aspect of this dispute is Canada's growing relationship with China. Canada is trying to increase its Chinese market as a way to avoid U.S. tariffs and of course Carney wants to give the impression he can live without the U.S. Canada is accused by U.S. trade people of assembling Chinese goods in Canada then hoping to ship them to the U.S. duty free. In response the Canadians say the U.S. is trying to control which countries Canada does business with. This attitude, logic tells me, will cripple the Canadian economy and ruin the economic lives of many people. Perhaps Carney is so dedicated to his cohort of European globalist banker friends that he will deliberately cripple his own people to accommodate them. Getting Trump's majority taken away thus curtailing Trump's ability to thwart their plans is apparently worth it. The military relationship is a factor in all this as I said earlier. It is complicated by the fact that hardly any leaders on either side have military experience. During Vietnam about 75% of the U.S. congress had military experience but now its about 20% and the President has no military experience at all. That fact sometimes results in leadership which doesn't understand the military and its problems. Furthermore, it creates a disrespect for military leadership and the advice top leaders give to inexperienced politicians is discounted. The upper leadership in the military sometimes appears to be a revolving door because politicians can't handle their stark truth. Canada is currently recruiting non-Canadians to serve in the military I suppose because very few Canadians want to do it. Canadians, like Americans probably see it all as a pack of lies and so they are skeptical. Potential soldiers from other countries are attracted to citizenship promises and higher pay but discipline and loyalty are lacking. The reason for this military diatribe in an economic report is because the relationship is still militarily very important to both sides and it is being damaged by this tactic which as I said is apparently designed between Carney, his globalist friends, and ambitious American Democrat politicians. In conclusion folks, Canada cannot win this war and I think they will soon realize that. The Canadian government doesn't want to be seen as offering to surrender but I hope they can see that trying to out swagger Donald Trump politically is a losing proposition. Hopefully, the two sides can move forward in mutually agreed upon terms that ensure the people of both countries prosper because the alternative is a kind of no-man's-land where their disputes constantly confront each other. Finally. Folks. I admit that much of this is simply my opinion but I argue that it is an educated opinion based on research. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and normal relations will prevail and sanity restored.  At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat Podcast where we've recently been doing a ton more hunting and lifting than we have eating. The new hunting season is back and we are so dang stoked - although, hunting this early feels a bit naughty like we are doing something illegal. Folks out west are already chasing elk and antelope and us east coast folks couldn't be more jealous. We at HLE are putting the finishing touches on our bows, ensuring our rifles are sighted in, and finishing the ankle biter tasks that we have been avoiding.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 24th of August 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Joshua 14:2: “Their inheritance was by lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses,…” Then we go straight to the Book of Romans 2:11: “For there is no partiality with God.” Isn't that wonderful? God has got no favourites. No, no teacher's pets! And I am so happy about that because I didn't feature too well at school. I can tell you right now, He has no favourites. That is why I love Jesus Christ so much. He chose me with all my imperfections, and He loves you just as much.They used to draw straws, that is what drawing a lot is. So there would be 4 or 5 straws. The one who chooses the shortest straw is the one who gets the position. There can be no favourites. It has nothing to do with size, it has nothing to do with intellect, it has nothing to do with roots, where your family came from, what part of the railway line you grew up on, the good side or the poor side. It is purely because the Lord loves you and He loves me.I used to say to my mother, “Mom, did you give my brother more food than me when we were small?” (Because my brother is 6 ft 3” and I am 5 ft 8.5”). My brother was a professional sportsman all his life. I could barely hit a golf ball, let alone make a score. Folks, I want to say to you - it's good news today - maybe you are feeling like you have been left out, that God has forgotten you. No, no, no, no! God has not forgotten you. He loves you so much that He even gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for your salvation. I want to pray for you.Lord, I pray for my dear friends today, that they would understand clearly that You have no favourites, and that from the day we were born, You have loved us unconditionally, whether we have made it or we haven't made it according to the world's standard. “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.” John 15:13 - and that is exactly what You did for us, and we love You for it, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen.God bless you and remember - you are special in the sight of God. Have a wonderful day!Goodbye.

It's Elul, Folks! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 23rd of August, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. We start in the Book of Exodus 20:3:“You shall have no other gods before Me.” Then we go to Matthew 19:22:”But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.” Nothing must come before the sovereignty of God, Jesus first all the time! A man by the name of Guthrie wrote something which I thought was quite challenging. He says, ”If you find yourself beginning to love any pleasure better than your prayers, any book better than your Bible, any house better than God's house, any table better than the Lord's table, any person better than your Saviour, anyone better than your soul, a present indulgence better than the hope of Heaven, take alarm.” Folks, that really, really rocked me. Now you see the rich young ruler said to Jesus, "I obey all the commandments, right from when I was a young boy.” But Jesus said to him, "Give away all your riches and come and follow after Me.” The Bible says he couldn't do it, he walked away because his riches, his possessions, were worth more to him than following Jesus.I remember a minister telling me many years ago that he believed that Jesus was standing, looking at him, with tears running down His face because that young man was on his way to hell. I also believe, and so did that minister, that if he had said, ”Lord, I will follow You,” the Lord would have given him back all his riches. The Lord doesn't need your riches, my friend. He doesn't need my riches. He doesn't need your reputation, He doesn't need my reputation. He needs us, and today let us take note of anything in our lives. The Lord says in Matthew 6:33:”But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” He doesn't want to spoil your life. No, He wants to give you life abundantly. That's what He said in John 10:10. Today, let's put Jesus first and then He will ensure that we get the rest.God bless you and goodbye.

The largest land grab since the Indian Wars are currently underway in the United States. Folks like Virginia are recognizing this and establishing plans to prevent further erosion of property rights.

THE NEXT BILLION SECONDS: AI@70 EP 2: THE WATERSHED ChatGPT opened the door to artificial intelligence. Almost immediately, researchers built 'agents' using it - but three years of hard yards passed before agents were 'good enough' to be useful. In this episode we trace the path from 'bad' to 'good enough' agents - and what it unlocked as we 'crossed the watershed'. No one really thought that on the last day of November in 2022, the world would change completely. Not even the folks closest to it. Like Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who said, "We always knew we'd hit a tipping point," "But we didn't know what the moment would be." His firm modestly promoted a 'research preview' of their new AI chatbot.ChatGPT. G'day, I'm Mark Pesce and this billion seconds are already unfolding as the most significant of this century. In this miniseries, celebrating the 70th anniversary of artificial intelligence, we're looking at where we’ve come from, how we got here - and where we seem to be going. Because we’re travelling at the speed of thought. ChatGPT promised artificial intelligence on tap for everyone. But it took another three years for that promise to be realised. This episode traces that story, from something kids used to do their homework for them - into a tool reshaping our economy. That's on this episode of This Billion Seconds. I reckon anyone who used a chatbot in 2023 or 2024 deserves a gold star. Two gold stars if they used one to get work done. ChatGPT was interesting. But it wasn't very accurate. The earliest chatbots, trained to be eager to please, would sometimes make up their answers. With no basis in fact. We call these 'hallucinations', but that's not what they are. It's that we'd caught the AI out. Asked a question it didn't know how to answer. So, it did its best with whatever it could pull together. It didn't mean to lie. It didn't even know it was lying. It was just generating a response. In a chatbot conversation that isn't a big deal. You could fact check - against another chatbot, against the web - even, if you can imagine it, ask another human being. Those sorts of hallucinations could be caught - if you went to some effort. But then again - why ask a chatbot if you want to make an effort? Folks took chatbots at their word. And some them paid a price. Hallucinations are an annoyance for people. But they're show-stoppers for autonomous agents. Oh yes, the nearly forty year old dream of Apple CEO John Sculley of autonomous agents running around and doing all of our work for us - that dream flickered back into life alongside ChatGPT. Researchers reckoned that with 'good enough' AI, they'd be able to build agents. To read your email, Keep your calendar. Book a reservation. That sort of thing. Just three months after ChatGPT landed, the first of those autonomous agents popped up. A piece of software known as AutoGPT. AutoGPT turns an AI like ChatGPT into an agent. It does that by providing the three things an agent needs. Memory - so that the agent can remember what it's supposed to be doing, and keep notes on its progress as it does it. Tools - So that it can do things like read and write files, respond to emails, or add items to the calendar, And goal logic - this is the thing that turns an AI into a single-minded goal-oriented piece of software. Basically, it's the same quality as the Terminator: the agent has one goal and it will stop at nothing to achieve it. AutoGPT gave ChatGPT memory, tools and goal logic - everything need to turn it into an autonomous agent. And it should have been absolutely amazing. Except for one thing. Here's how an agent works: you give it a goal, and it 'decomposes' that goal into a series of steps, then breaks those steps down into discrete actions. The agent then methodically works its way through each of the actions. At the end of every action, an agent 'reflects' - it checks the results of that action. Did it work? Does the agent get to go on to the next action, or does it need to do this action again? And this is where the problems arise. Because if ChatGPT happens to hallucinate in the midst of this process, the whole thing very quickly falls over. Maybe an agent thinks an action worked, when it didn't. Or thinks it didn't, even though it did. Now there's always a change that - for any given action - there will be a hallucination that will make the agent fall over. You can deal with that if there are just a few actions. Chances are it will get through all of the actions before problems arise. But for anything even modestly complex, there are many actions. Tens to hundreds. Maybe even thousands. So the probability for just one hallucination - that's all it takes to make the agent fall over - grows higher and higher as the list of actions grows longer and longer. Now here's the thing: people measured this. A group known as Model Evaluation and Threat Research or METR, they've kept a running record of how long agents can run before they fall over. And back in early 2023, they'd make it no more than about 4 minutes. An agent can't do a lot in 4 minutes. So although we could make agents using ChatGPT, we couldn't make them work well. For that, we'd need better AI. Funny thing about that. All of us can take some credit for making AI better. You see, most everyone who's using ChatGPT or Claude or Gemini or any of the others, is making those models better with every question we put the them. Those questions and the answers to them get fed back in, to train the next generation of models. It's why AI is so much better now than it was three years ago - and why I say anyone who used AI day-to-day in 2023 or 2024 deserves a gold star. Those were hard yards because the AI just wasn't very good. How do we know AI is better to day than it was two or three years ago? Ah, here's where we come back to those folks at METR. They've been tracking what they call the 'task horizon' of agents. How long they can perform actions before they fall over. And they noticed that with every subsequent generation of AI, that task horizon got longer. Dependably. It soon became clear that the task horizon doubled an average in seven months. 4 minutes becomes eight minutes toward the end of 2023, then sixteen minutes in mid 2024 thirty-two minutes in early 2025, and then sixty-four minutes. Just over an hour In November 2025. Three years after ChatGPT launched. Now that moment in time - just under a year ago - saw the launch of three brand new models: Google Gemini 3, Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5, and OpenAI GPT-5.2. Each of these models could be used to create agents with task horizons greater than an hour. An hour is "long enough" that you can assign an agent a reasonably complex task, let it go off and do the work, with confidence that the work will be done correctly. That's kind of a magic length of time. It takes agents out of the theoretical - where they'd been for nearly 40 years - and makes them very practical. That's the reason I call this moment "The Watershed". It's the moment when AI gets "good enough" to do real work. I'm far from the only person to notice this. Anyone using AI tools to write software noticed a big shift, as they stopped fighting with their tools. Because the tools had gotten 'smart enough' to handle the task. This is the moment where we first hear the term 'vibe coding' - tell the agent what kind of software you want to create, and the agent will go off and build it for you. And now that we're on the other side of the watershed, it's all downhill. Gaining speed. Because the task horizon didn't stop growing at an hour. We're more than seven months beyond November 2025, and task horizons have doubled again. Two hours. By early next year, four hours. And by the end of next year - eight hours. An entire work day. Tell the agent what to do - for the whole of the day - and let it do its thing. We've come a long, long way since November 2023. But we're through the hardest bits. You're using the worst AI you'll ever use. And boy, will it get better from here. In our next episode, we'll look at what autonomous agents mean for business - and whether business is actually prepared to pay for them. That's on the next episode of This Billion seconds.

Darrell Castle endeavors to explain why he thinks debt is the worst, most unsolvable problem we face as everything we call a standard of living hangs in the balance. Transcription / Notes DEBT—WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. Last week I mentioned that debt is the worst problem we face as a nation and I got some comments so this week I will endeavor to explain why I think debt is the worst, most unsolvable problem that we face and why I think that because of debt everything we have and everything we call a standard of living hangs in the balance. Sometimes we forget that in the 1990's the federal government had a balanced budget, When Bill Clinton was president the federal government lived within its means but today it is $40 trillion in debt. So, what, many people say, because it doesn't seem to affect them and after all they live in a nice home for which they have a 30-year mortgage. In the Clinton years the average age of first-time home buyers was in the 20's but now it's about 40. George w. Bush came along and decided we would be required to fight some of Israel's enemies for then and so the debt started its out of control climb to the $40 trillion that it is today. Three fourths of the increase has been added since Obama took office and about $11 trillion or 28% since Trump took office.. In other words, it is accelerating because the U.S. has no way to fund it without borrowing more, a practice known as monetizing the debt or using more debt to pay debt otherwise known as a debt spiral. So, the problem in the private economy is inflation which is why gas was $1.25 in the 90's and is about $4.00 in most places today. Inflation is caused by excessive money printing and excessive money in circulation which devalues all the money you make. If you make $85 thousand per year and do not get a raise for 10 years and there is no inflation you have not lost anything. When inflation doubles the price of necessities during that period you have lost a lot. People are starting to realize all that and it is causing some disturbing reactions especially among young people. They see the system as being gamed against them because some people are rich and they are not. No matter what they make they seem to barely get by, especially in New York, so when a charismatic leader comes along and says I will take from those bad rich people and give it to you they bite. They see the capitalistic system as bad and evil because they have not gotten theirs from it but that is exactly the wrong reaction. The system is broken but not because of a failure of design. It is broken because it has been perverted by a tiny group of globalist ruling elite who are not stupid. They see the entire system failing and on the brink of popping the bubble that props it up and they do not react by trying to fix it and restore soundness. No, the ever more feeble state doesn't pull back and lick its wounds to heal. Instead, it becomes a predator extracting every last dollar from the system that it can. The entire post-war European model of a social state is no longer working, but the state and its ruling elite just keep looting and I suppose they hope we don't notice. The system works like the old quote from George Carlin that we are all familiar with. “See, folks it's a big club and you ain't in it.” Well, I heard some former insider the other day say that George's quote was spot on except today it should be amended to say that it's a small club and you ain't in it. A very small group of people run the world this man was saying and they see what is happening and it terrifies them. They know the debt will never be dealt with and will never be paid. They don't think the deficit will ever again be reduced to zero so they see the only hope as total control through surveillance of every person on the planet. This is accomplished through the widespread use of flock cameras among many other things. The newspaper reports that there are over 1000 flock cameras in my city of Memphis. Total surveillance allows those in control to monitor us and act if we get too uppity. Central bank digital currency will be the primary method of dealing with all the debt the U.S. carries and with the growing dissatisfaction of people with consumer debt they can't live without. The ruling elite first make debt slaves of us all and finally they start to sense chaos and perhaps revolution in the air and they have to do something. Publicly they have their bread and circus to pacify us but privately they have other methods. The people continue to elect what turns out to be the worst people in the country. The state has lost its fear of you or what you think about what it is doing. Let me give you an example by going back to the beginning. The founders designed a system whereby it took the will of the majority of the people's representatives sitting in Congress to send the nation to war. The president had to go the congress and request permission to go to war and the people through their elected representatives had to agree. That was because war had to be paid for and that would require taxes which would affect everyone. What a quaint idea, but it might also require sending their sons to possible death so it was a serious matter. Even as late in history as George W. Bush's war on Iraq if you remember he and Dick Chaney kept us in suspense for many months before the war so they could build a consensus of the people and the media to support the war. It worked because most people supported the war because of 911 etc. We could not imagine it was all just a set up and part of the plan. Now we are so numb we just don't care anymore. The president sees poll after poll that shows his war on Iran to be the most unpopular in history but he doesn't seem to care.  Going to congress or what the Constitution says means nothing nor does the oath of office. Now they don't seem to care what the people think and they don't even bother to convince us. They seem to know that this reckless waste of money is creating more and more resentment and a breaking point is rapidly approaching. Mr. Jefferson told us in the Declaration that rights come from the creator and they are inalienable. To secure those rights governments are instituted among men. In other words, the purpose of government is to secure our rights not to abuse them. He went on to say that when government becomes destructive of those ends it is the right of the people to abolish it. I submit to you that after many years of governments destructive of those ends the people are growing ever more weary and the tiny group of elites at the top can clearly see that and they are taking steps to make sure it never happens. What are some of those steps, well I'm glad you asked. Constant surveillance of every person on earth. Flock cameras everywhere and now even our cars report back on our behavior. Debasement of the currency to the point that central bank digital currency is obviously necessary and with it is the end of privacy, even the limited version of it we have today. Soon there will be constant monitoring of everything you say and write in the public domain. Constant, never ending, pointless, bloody wars, that are so stupid blind people can see them for what they are. Abandonment of the moral center of the country to the point that bedrock faith is just a ruse to appease a few right wingers. Demeaning of the culture at every level with the foulest words used constantly by those in high places. Those are just a few of the things already coming or on their way. To make all this work and save the elite a very small population of cooperative people is all that is necessary and AI will do the work. The population must be reduced to accommodate the sick dreams of these satanic madmen. Since AI is going to destroy the low and middle class well, I guess we don't need as many of them complaining. There are many ways to kill us but the first way that should be obvious to anyone is biowarfare. COVID was and is the best example. The virus, thanks to the science, and his cohorts was engineered to kill in mass numbers but it didn't so the Vaccine had to be invented to do its work. Destroy the reproductive systems of young women and cause miscarriages in those who are pregnant. I've read from Dr. Naomi Wolfe and her work that about 80% pf pregnant women who were injected with the mNRA vaccine miscarried. Dr. Fauci's top assistant just pled guilty to covering up information about gain of function work on the virus. Pfizer admits through 10's of thousands of pages of documents that it intentionally attacked the reproductive systems of women. In fact, one might say that Marx was right or at least on to something when he described religion as the opiate of the masses. What he might notice today is that opium and its directives are the opiate of the masses. The country has been flooded with drugs since Vietnam days and the more war we make against it the worse it gets. The illegal drugs are only a welcome part of the cocktail that our overlords feed us. Well meaning doctors do the only thing the system allows them in the 15 minutes every 6 months they are allowed to see us and that is prescribe big pharma cocktails for every problem. Any natural product,i.e. one made from leaves of trees grown in Asia must be banned to protect us. Yes, the government and its agents constantly scan to see what might help people so they can ban it. Let me go back to the beginning as I draw near the end by saying that they start with abortion. They have trained women along with the Supreme Court to call it reproductive freedom but now 10 states allow abortion until the moment of birth. That sounds a lot like cold blooded murder to me but the proponents of it clap like trained seals with no knowledge, apparently, that they are assisting a very evil few to destroy many. Finally. Folks, I know this all sounds like some wild conspiracy theory but it is instead fact whether you choose to see clear evidence or not. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

This week on Toilet Radio: For reasons that I cannot fully articulate, we went over to the Internet Archive to watch The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, a 1990 starring vehicle for one of the worst to ever do it: Andrew “Dice” Clay. This picture, in which Dice plays a “Rock n’ Roll Detective”, is confusing, expensive, mean-spirited, giant piece of shit from a butt. BUT it does feature Gilbert Gottfried as Howard Stern, Vince Neil as a dead rock star Ed O’Neil as a disco detective, an animatronic koala, Robert Englund as a murderous Billy Idol, Morris Day, Lauren Holly, Tone Loc, and one of my favorite character actors – David Patrick Kelly. Join us as we talk about massive financial disasters, the lost art of a successful soundtrack attached to a box office bomb, and the hard transition from the 80s to the 90s.

The essay challenges the familiar claim that the culture war is merely a distraction from the class war. Instead, I argue that the culture war is one arena of class conflict, driven by elite overproduction and an internal division between two increasingly incompatible lefts: a class-first left committed to universal economic transformation and a woke cultural left rooted in the professional-managerial class.Using the Bernie Sanders campaigns of 2016 and 2020—including the defining confrontation at his 2015 Seattle rally—as case studies, I examine the left-unity trap, pseudo-radicalism, institutional capture, K–12 education, gender politics, and the tendency of post-woke leftists to dismiss live cultural conflicts as fringe distractions. The essay argues that a serious working-class politics cannot succeed by ignoring these conflicts or indefinitely accommodating the faction that dominates the left's institutional terrain.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The Culture War IS the Class War: A Theory of the Two Lefts2:12 Memory-Holing Wokeism7:44 Culture War Is Class War13:54 The Lesson of Bernie Sanders, 2016–202016:17 The Day Sanders Stood Still34:19 The Left's Civil War41:26 A Theory of the Two Lefts51:37 The Left Unity Trap53:24 The Hard Truth Most Old Leftists Don't Want to Admit56:26 How Pseudo-Radicalism Masks the Divide Between the Two Lefts1:05:37 If Wokeism Is So Fringe, Then Why Doesn't the Left Reject It?1:09:29 Wokeism as a Paper Tiger1:12:28 Why Accommodating Woke Fails1:15:39 What Is to Be Done?1:18:23 The Correct Answer to “Throwing Minorities Under the Bus”1:28:49 Nothing to See Here, Folks.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 18th of August, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Hebrews 11:6: ”But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” In other words, without faith we can't please God.Then we go to Romans 10:17:”So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Lots of people have written to me over the years and asked me, ”How do you get more faith?” Well, there's the answer. It comes by hearing and listening to the word of God and reading the Bible.John Wesley tells a story that took place in 1735. He boarded a ship for the USA, and on board were many English passengers and Moravian people going to America. Moravians from the early church that was started in Germany. As they went to sea, it was winter, it was freezing cold. A great storm arose, the mast broke, and it looked like the ship was about to sink. Now remember, John Wesley was a theologian. He had a Master of Arts Degree in Theology. He thought he was a man of faith. He thought he was a Christian but listen to the story.The storm got so violent that the English passengers aboard were panicking and screaming. Then Wesley looked up on board, and he saw the group of Moravians quietly, calmly singing hymns to God as the sea washed across the top of the ship. Then he realised that he was not saved and that he did not really know God. It changed his life. I'm talking about faith being a practical thing. Folks, we need to realise faith is not a noun like a cupboard or a chair. Faith is a doing word. It is a verb. By action, those Moravians showed John Wesley that he wasn't even saved, but afterwards, in a little Bible study in Aldersgate in London - he went to a Bible study. He sat there quietly, and he said a strange warmth came over his heart, scales fell from his eyes, and he believed that at that moment he was born again. We need to walk the talk. People need to see our faith by our actions.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

This week on CounterSpin: It was not a shock when Donald Trump's Justice Department greenlit the merger of Paramount—owned by the scion of the Trump-adjacent Ellison family—with Warner Bros Discovery. Who cares if a single entity (that loves Donald Trump and all he stands for) controls a vast empire of the movies, cable TV and streaming services we have access to? It turns out a lot of people care, and that's why the merger, presented as a done deal weeks ago, is actually on the ropes. We'll get a state of play from Jessica Gonzalez, co-CEO of the public advocacy group Free Press. Also on the show: A sitting congressperson stated publicly: “Every single Muslim holding public office in America is a Trojan horse, and a threat to both national security and our republic. We refuse to be silent.” The fig leaf, if there were one, is off. Folks are just out here saying all Muslims (well, except for Dr. Oz) are devils, criminals, evil—and woe betide anyone who doesn't sign up for that perverse, hateful view. News media could declare such racist, ignorant, ahistorical, anti-democratic—did i say racist?—they could call all that out, and remove anyone spouting it from respectful public conversation. But: We have the media we have, so people who hate Muslims because they're Muslim have a seat at the grown-up table, and a microphone. Islamophobia in media is not new. It wasn't new when FAIR produced a report about it in 2008. We'll hear today a conversation we had around that report, which we called Smearcasting: How Islamophobes Spread Fear, Bigotry and Misinformation, with former FAIR staffers Isabel MacDonald and Steve Rendall. CounterSpin provides a critical examination of the each week's major news stories, and exposes what the mainstream media may have missed in their own coverage. Produced by the national media watch group FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting). The post Jessica Gonzalez on Paramount Merger, Isabel MacDonald and Steve Rendall (2008) on Islamophobia appeared first on KPFA.

If you have God's Word… turn with me to Genesis 2. And this morning… I wanna talk about this subject: "What a Marriage Is Supposed to Be." Folks… we live in a world… that has all kinds of opinions about marriage. • Hollywood has an opinion about marriage. • The government has an opinion about marriage. • Your friends have opinions about marriage. • Your parents may have opinions about marriage. • And you certainly have an opinion about marriage. But there is one question… that towers above all the others: What does God say about marriage? Because I wanna tell you something… marriage wasn't man's idea. Marriage was God's idea.

Two megaphones, two drinks, one bar. Corey quits talking about talking and just gets to the talkin'. First edition of "To the Republic... To the Pub."

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Brent Johnson back to the show. Brent is the CEO of Puerto Rico-based Santiago Capital and creator of the famous "dollar milkshake theory." He has more than 13,000 subscribers on the Santiago Capital Substack.   Brent kicks things off by expressing his optimism for the U.S. and believes that, despite the supply-chain issues the country is facing, it will make the changes needed to come out of the crisis. That's not to say that there won't be pain along the way, but Brent says it will be better than most people expect. Additionally, he says that criticisms of the U.S. and the dollar are valid, but relative to other countries, they're in a much better position than their peers. And he tells listeners that you can still buy gold without being bearish on the dollar. (0:00)   Next, Brent says that there's no need to be worried about gold overtaking the dollar as a reserve asset in central banks. A key contributor to that has been gold going up while Treasurys have gone down. But Brent's research shows that on a global scale, government bonds have been falling across the board. (The exception is China, due to companies not wanting to buy Chinese stocks or real estate and getting tax breaks from buying Chinese bonds). Brent then explains how the dollar will become broken the stronger it becomes, which would create more pressure on countries that have debt in dollars and could lead to a currency crisis and a great credit reset. And he shows how the U.S. could weaponize the dollar against companies that are indebted to it. (15:08)   Finally, Brent criticizes the mentality that it doesn't matter which fiat currency you're holding, because they're all going to crash. He says that folks who work, own businesses, or have exposure to the geopolitical landscape should care about fiat levels. A sharp rise in one currency compared with another has been a key component in every global financial crisis over the past 50 years. And Brent states that the order of the currency declines matters. Folks who retreat from the market out of fear could be missing out on all the opportunities that happen before a major crash occurs. (34:04)
