Podcasts about Funding

Are the protests filling Western streets truly spontaneous - or are some being engineered from above? Investigative journalist Nate Friedman followed the money behind what looked like grassroots activism. He says he uncovered repeat organisers, nonprofit pass-throughs, more than $20 million connected to one little-known billionaire—and the same network appearing behind cause after cause. Subscribe to his amazing channel:  @natefriedman  In this rare long-form conversation, Nate reveals how he tracks the people and organisations behind mass demonstrations, why activists tried to block his street interviews and why he says major protests suddenly disappeared after federal investigators began asking questions. He tells Andrew what shocked him most when he came to Britain, why New York could be a warning to the rest of the West, how social media helps charismatic radicals gain power—and why the funding trail keeps leading back to China. But Andrew challenges him on the questions his critics will ask: Are ordinary protesters actually being paid? Can street interviews represent an entire community? Does editing distort the picture? And is Nate documenting a coordinated political machine—or only its loudest members? The conversation becomes deeply personal as Nate recalls losing Charlie Kirk, encountering students who celebrated it and making a decision that changed his mission. Watch to the end to discover the investigation Nate is building now—and why he says his goal is nothing less than saving the West.

A foreign government buying ads on a US senator's podcast sounds like satire until you follow the money. We dig into reporting from Connor Echols at Responsible Statecraft on how Israeli government “I Am Israel” ads ran on “Verdict with Ted Cruz” and how that ad revenue, via iHeartMedia, flowed to a pro-Ted Cruz Super PAC instead of landing in a normal media account. The details are technical, but the implication is simple: commercial ad buys can quietly reshape political incentives. We walk through the campaign finance machinery that makes this possible, from Citizens United era Super PAC rules to the FEC's narrow “coordination” standard that's tough to prove. We also tackle the question listeners immediately ask: doesn't FARA kick in? You'll hear why “fair market rate” tourism ads often dodge foreign agent registration, even when the campaign's stated goal is image rehabilitation in the United States. From there, we zoom out to the wider influence battle: AIPAC-linked spending tactics, why candidates sometimes treat explicit pro-Israel branding as a liability, and what polling suggests about shifting voter attitudes on Israel and Gaza, especially among Democrats. We close with a look at how recycled World War II analogies warp debate, plus Ukraine's effort to sell itself as “the Israel of Europe” and what that means for escalation, NATO fears, and gray zone retaliation.

In this commentary segment from The Tara Show, host Tara and co-host Lee Rogers discuss a recent headline from The Federalist alleging that Senate GOP leadership would rather cede Texas to Democrats than back its own grassroots voters. The discussion focuses on political funding dynamics within the Republican Party, highlighting comments from Senate figures like Louisiana Senator John Kennedy regarding budget allocations in key general election contests like the Texas Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. The host criticizes establishment campaign arms for allocating significant resources during primary battles while refusing to back non-establishment nominees in general elections. Framing this as an institutional betrayal of conservative voters, the segment argues that party leaders prioritize maintaining establishment control over securing legislative majorities.

In this commentary from The Tara Show, the host strongly criticizes political developments involving both Democrats and Republican leadership. She begins by condemning House Democrats for refusing to support a resolution condemning socialism, arguing that their vote ignores horrific historical atrocities like mass starvation, forced labor camps, and political purges. Transitioning to internal Republican politics, the host highlights a Federalist headline accusing Senate GOP leadership—specifically figures like Tim Scott, John Thune, and John Cornyn—of abandoning conservative candidates like Ken Paxton in favor of Democratic or establishment interests. She argues that establishment Republicans are intentionally withholding funding from true conservatives because they prioritize a "globalist" agenda that undermines American sovereignty and border security, though she expresses optimism that grassroots voters are actively rejecting this leadership.

What will it take for philanthropy to unlock the extraordinary potential of 501(c)(4)s? In this episode, co-hosts Glen Galaich and Ralph Lewin, Executive Director of the Peter E. Haas Jr. Family Fund, challenge the fake rules telling philanthropy to stay neutral, avoid risk, stick to funding 501(c)(3)s, and keep political work at arm's length. They're joined by Leah Greenberg, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, a nationwide movement of everyday people organizing across all 50 states. Leah pulls back the curtain on what happens after the protest: local organizing, voter registration, advocacy, mutual aid, relationship-building, and the hard work of turning moments of public anger into sustained political participation. She also challenges funders to stop treating 501(c)(3) status as a moral status and to take seriously what well-resourced 501(c)(4) work can unlock. Together, Leah, Ralph, and Glen pose a sharper question to philanthropy: if the goal is real democratic change, are funders willing to back the people actually organizing to win?

Colorado's roads are in a state of disrepair, and a recent deal between the state legislature and the backers of Initiative 175 has left many wondering what's next for transportation funding in the state. This episode delves into the details of the agreement, which involves a proposed ballot measure to fund road maintenance and repairs through bonds.The conversation centers around the trade-offs involved in this new approach, which some see as a step forward, while others are concerned about the potential impact on taxpayers. The guest, Jeff Keller, co-chair of Restore Our Roads and president of APC Construction, explains the reasoning behind the deal and the benefits it could bring to Coloradans and visitors alike. However, the host expresses skepticism about the potential costs and the reliance on bonding and new fees.The discussion touches on the current state of Colorado's roads, the need for infrastructure investment, and the challenges of balancing competing interests and priorities. It's clear that the stakes are high, and the outcome will have significant implications for the state's transportation system.To hear more about the details of this deal and the potential consequences for Colorado's roads, tune in to this episode and listen to the full conversation with Jeff Keller.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Talk Law Radio, host Todd Marquardt breaks down complex legal updates, statutory funding myths, and cultural legacies shaping Texas and the nation. From state education policy to massive tech liability settlements and honoring a country music legend, Todd offers the clarity you need to spot your legal blind spots. Key Topics Covered: Texas Public School Funding Debunked: Todd addresses widespread rumors on social media claiming Texas diverted public school money to fund the state's school choice voucher program. He breaks down the legal specifics of 2025 Senate Bill 2 and House Bill 2, explaining how Education Savings Accounts are strictly funded from general revenue, while public education received a distinct $8.5 billion funding boost. Teacher Pay & Education Allotments: A look at how House Bill 2 allocated funds for permanent teacher raises and operational costs through the new "Allotment for Basic Costs". Todd contrasts public perception and social media reactions with statutory facts regarding inflation, basic allotments, and local property tax dynamics. Meta's $17.1 Billion Settlement: Analysis of the landmark settlement resolving lawsuits brought by 29 states against Meta (Facebook and Instagram). Todd details Meta's alleged violations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the multi-billion-dollar payouts, and new mandated safety measures for minor users—including default time limits, nighttime blocks, and restricted feed algorithms. Honoring Dolly Parton’s Legacy: In a special legacy segment, Todd reflects on the passing of global icon Dolly Parton. The discussion celebrates her musical heritage, her open expression of faith, and her vast philanthropic impact—most notably through the Imagination Library, which has gifted over 300 million books to young readers worldwide. Key Takeaways: Texas law explicitly bans using available school funds, federal education money, or instructional material funds for the state's Education Savings Account program. Big Tech face sweeping operational changes and billions in penalties for social media practices targeting minors, setting new precedents for platform regulation and youth online safety. Building a lasting legacy involves more than wealth accumulation; it's about community impact, philanthropic giving, and values that endure across generations. -Sponsored by Marquardt Law Firm and Financial Planning HQ -Go to marquardtlawfirm.com and financialplanninghq.net If you found this episode valuable, please Subscribe and hit the Notification Bell on YouTube.

Medical freedom advocate and former forensic psychiatrist Dr. Andy Kaufman takes on Big Pharma, mind control, DARPA surveillance, and political corruption in episode 261 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Kaufman is a medical freedom advocate and former forensic psychiatrist who trained at Duke after earning his biology degree from MIT. During his medical career, he held academic and leadership positions, served as an expert witness in state and federal courts, published research, and developed a patented medical device. After breaking publicly with the medical establishment during the COVID-19 era, Kaufman became known for challenging mainstream narratives around viruses, vaccines, genetics, psychiatry, and disease, while advocating for natural healing, personal sovereignty, and becoming your own health authority.Faust and Kaufman examine how institutional power shapes what people are taught to believe about science, medicine, politics, and even their own bodies. Their conversation moves from the incentives behind accepted medical narratives to propaganda, government deception, surveillance, and the ways fear and authority can influence human behavior. Together, they question how much of what we accept as truth is the product of evidence and how much is the result of conditioning, repetition, and trust in institutions.In this episode:• Is Genetics a Mind-Control Program?: Kaufman questions one of the most foundational beliefs in modern biology.• The Antidepressant Data Nobody Saw: What did unpublished FDA trials reveal about the drugs millions of people take?• What Are You Signing at the Hospital?: The fine print behind informed consent may be more consequential than most patients realize.• DARPA's Disturbing Question: You won't believe what Kaufman says government-linked interests wanted to do with his medical invention.• When War Becomes a Video Game: What happens when killing is reduced to pixels on a screen?• Medication or Domestication?: Kaufman challenges the explosion of psychiatric diagnoses and prescription drugs.• Why Fauci Took the Fifth: What does his testimony reveal about accountability inside the system?• Who Decides What Counts as Science?: Kaufman exposes a problem hiding inside the way medical evidence is measured.From medicine and genetics to politics, surveillance, and war, this conversation challenges the systems that shape what we believe before we ever think to question them.00:00:00 Introduction to Dr. Andrew Kaufman00:01:34 Political Accountability & The Theater of Authority00:07:25 Questioning Genetics & The "Central Dogma" Programming00:15:28 Synthetic RNA & The Flaws in Modern Cognitive Tech00:20:24 Why Dr. Kaufman Walked Away from Allopathic Medicine00:27:05 The Illusion of Informed Consent & Hospital Contracts00:37:14 The Hidden Truth About Unnecessary Surgical Procedures00:44:19 Flawed Research, Antidepressants, & The Rise of Psychiatry00:51:22 DARPA Grants, Biomonitoring, & Remote Warfare Conditioning01:00:15 Overprescribing Sedatives & Systemic Pacification01:13:04 Censored Medical Data & The Failure of Two-Party Politics01:24:52 Autodidactic Learning & Taking Your Sovereignty Back01:31:20 Psychological Observations on High-Profile Public Spectacles01:38:42 The True Medicine Cabinet & Reclaiming Health AutonomyCheck out Dr. Andy's True Medicine Cabinethttps://www.andrewkaufmanmd.com/true-medicine-cabinetConnect with Dr. Andy Kaufmanhttps://www.andrewkaufmanmd.com/https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrewKaufmanMD/videoshttps://www.instagram.com/andrewkaufmanmd/https://www.facebook.com/andrewkaufmanmd/Join us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™#Healthcare #BigPharmawe'd love to hear from you

Today's show takes up the topic of the American Empire in decline. It's the first summary preview of my forthcoming book, available in early September, "The Twilight of American Imperialism", Clarity Press, 2026.  What does it mean to say 'decline'? What are the indicators? They're not just geopolitical—i.e. rise of BRICS, lost US wars, disputes with allies, fracturing military alliances, etc. All empires run on money and the American is running out of enough to fund the accelerating costs of empire. It is now experiencing an accelerating financial crisis as costs of Empire accelerate faster than revenues to fund it. As a result, the empire's Practices have begun to fail and its Institutions under-perform. The book covers the period 1992 through 2026, focusing in large part on Trump 2025-26 and policies now accelerating the decline. Today's show concludes by revisiting the crisis in the US Treasury market—the main means for debt financing of the Empire--emerging in recent weeks and explains how it is related to the main theme of the book.

Treasury just launched "Operation Economic Outcast" and buried in the announcement is proof that supposed U.S. allies have been quietly propping up Iran's economy for years. Lance Wallnau breaks down the $21.3 billion trade cutoff, the countries caught funneling money to Tehran, and what it means heading into the midterms. Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent unveiled a sweeping new sanctions campaign targeting Iran's financial lifelines, including digital assets, gold, aviation, and shipping, and the list of "allies" who've kept the regime afloat is more surprising than you'd expect. Lance walks through the UAE's own admission that it's suspending financial transactions with Iran after $14.8 billion in trade last year alone, the shell company networks in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai moving oil revenue on Iran's behalf, and Glenn Beck's conversation with Patrick Bet-David calling this Iran's "economic D-Day." He also ties it back to Trump's education reform agenda and the bigger spiritual and cultural battle playing out before the midterms. In this episode: Why Lance believes right-wing podcast hosts like Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Tim Dillon have gone quiet on Trump, and what he says caused the shift Trump's education agenda, including the $1,700 school choice tax credit, the $500 million charter school investment, and why Lance says the left is losing ground on this "cultural mountain" Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's announcement of Operation Economic Outcast, and why one guest on Glenn Beck's show called it Iran's "economic D-Day" The UAE's secret $21.3 billion trade relationship with Iran, and why the country is now suspending financial transactions with the regime The shell company network in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai that Lance says has been funneling oil revenue to keep Iran's economy afloat Lance's prayer for peace in the region and stability heading into a tense midterm season   Podcast Episode 2224: Why Some U.S. Allies Were Secretly Funding Iran All Along | don't miss this!

At World Water Week in Stockholm, financing took center stage ahead of the U.N. Water Conference in Abu Dhabi this December. The annual gathering saw around 2,000 participants discuss water governance, security, and the rising pressures of a global water bankruptcy. However, attracting private investment remains difficult, with water projects often seen as offering low returns and traditionally relying on public funding. This has prompted a renewed focus on the World Bank's "Water Forward" initiative, which aims to make the sector more attractive to investors. Meanwhile, the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network conference in New Delhi, India, brought together philanthropists, impact investors, and nonprofits to discuss how the region's own capital can be mobilized to tackle development challenges instead of relying on traditional foreign aid. While AVPN attendees looked to local philanthropy to finance areas such as mental health and cervical cancer research, the broader global health sector is facing severe funding pressures. One example is the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, which faces a more than $100 million funding shortfall for efforts to combat the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. To explore how these financing challenges are playing out across the development sector, Rumbi Chakamba sits down with Tania Karas and Jenny Lei Ravelo for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

It's Wednesday, August 26th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Somalian Muslims attack mother of 8 for trusting Christ Muslim extremists in Somalia, Africa attacked a mother of eight for converting from Islam to Christianity. Sophia Ibrahim came to Christ in April 2022. Several Muslim men beat her unconscious after they found her attending a Bible study this month. She was discharged from the hospital last week.  Ibrahim told Morning Star News, “I will continue serving [God] and making others know Him because of the everlasting life and the joy of knowing Christ.”   Somalia is ranked second on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most dangerous countries worldwide to be a Christian.  In Philippians 3:8, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” Bible app expands footprint into Latin America The Bible app YouVersion is expanding its presence in Latin America. YouVersion leaders met in Mexico City last week to partner with churches and ministries. Among Latin American countries, Mexico and Colombia have some of the highest levels of Bible app usage. YouVersion CEO Bobby Gruenewald told Christian Daily International, “It took us 17 years to reach the first 1 billion devices. We believe the next billion will come in the next five years. There is a hunger for the Word of God at a global level.”   2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” Update on Trump's border wall The Trump administration is continuing to build the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. The New American reported, “According to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as of mid-August 2026, about 365 miles of primary border wall, 58 miles of replacement border wall, and 423 miles of secondary border wall either are now under construction or have been completed since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2025.” The Trump administration is seeking to build or finish 1,200 new miles of wall, as well as hundreds more miles of vehicle barriers and replacement wall. Funding for the continued border project mostly comes from Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, passed in 2025. President Trump rejected trans ideology and affirmed parental rights President Donald Trump addressed education at the White House on Monday as many students return to school this week.  The president specifically called out transgender ideology in schools. Listen. TRUMP: “Every public school in America is now on notice that if they tell a child that they are trapped in the wrong body, they are committing child abuse. … “Under the Trump administration, we're systematically ending every single one of these radical Left betrayals, and we're putting the parents back in charge. They're the ones that love our children. They're the ones that should be in charge.” (applause) Alliance Defending Freedom advances religious liberty in 250 bills Alliance Defending Freedom is helping to advance religious liberty through over 250 state and federal bills this year. These measures support core God-given freedoms. Dozens have already become law. The organization said it provided “legal analysis, bill review, and guidance on laws that curb radical gender ideology, end institutional censorship, and help secure parental rights.” 570th anniversary of Gutenberg Bible And finally, this week in history is commemorated as the anniversary of the Gutenberg Bible. It is named after Johannes Gutenberg, a German inventor and printer. The earliest date appearing on a copy of the completed Gutenberg Bible is August 24, 1456 – 570 years ago. This Bible represented the first work printed in Europe with moveable type. The new printing press would become invaluable for the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. It allowed teachers like Martin Luther to easily spread their writings on the Bible. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 26th, in the year of our Lord 2026.
