Eugene Volokh and Jane Bambauer discuss the Administration's freezing of grants to Harvard, and Harvard's lawsuit challenging the freeze. The Trump Administration has announced that it was freezing grants to Harvard, and demanding that Harvard change many of its policies and practices in order to get back in the Administration's good graces.  President Trump has also suggested that Harvard might lose its tax-exempt status for “pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting ‘Sickness.'” Would such a cutoff of funding or tax exemption benefits violate the First Amendment? Jane and Eugene dig deep into that. Recorded on April 22, 2025.

6pm: WA State Rep. Kristine Reeves (D) says not letting boys compete against girls is like going back to the time of racial segregation // Jon Stewart is visibly exasperated hearing Ezra Klein explain the arduous process to get Build Back Better government grants // Elon and the DOGE team sit down with Fox News’ Bret Baier // Guest - William Kirk - Washington Gun Law // Washington Republicans push back against gun bill AG Brown believes will save lives // Would you rather be dumb and happy or smart and miserable?

Anthony Woo, co-founder of Climatisation ACG, shares how his business was built around trust, transparency, and education. Instead of sending a technician right away and charging a service call fee, Anthony troubleshoots with clients over the phone and even uses FaceTime to walk them through common fixes—often solving 75% of issues without ever rolling a truck. This not only saves clients money but builds strong community trust.Educating Homeowners One Call at a TimeAnthony emphasizes proactive maintenance and education. When he sees recurring questions, he turns them into helpful content on his company's Facebook page. He's also developing an AI troubleshooting system to guide clients through basic fixes. His goal: to serve more people efficiently, especially during peak season, without compromising on service quality.Government Grants and Upgrading from OilOil heating systems are being phased out in Quebec by 2030. Anthony outlines how homeowners can access Hydro-Québec's LogisVert grants—ranging from $1,000 to $4,000—for switching to electric heat pumps. He walks clients through every step of the grant process, and in many cases, upgrading just the heat pump (not the furnace) can maximize savings while keeping costs lower.Real Estate Implications for Buyers and SellersFor sellers, upgrading to electric can improve a home's value and marketability. For buyers, Anthony recommends securing the grant post-purchase to replace older oil systems. However, the upgrade often requires a 200-amp service, which may involve additional electrical work. Anthony and his team handle the entire process, including safe removal of oil tanks and cleanup.The Power of the Homeowners Advisory ClubAs a featured partner in the Homeowners Advisory Club, Anthony credits the Club with helping him grow a values-driven client base. He notes that H.O.A.C. members are informed, trust-focused, and care more about value than the lowest price. He treats every referral as an extension of the club's reputation—something he doesn't take lightly.Why the Club Was CreatedHost Sean Broady explains the vision behind the Homeowners Advisory Club: to solve three common homeowner problems—what needs to be done, when to do it, and who to trust. The Club connects reliable service providers like Anthony with homeowners, while educating them through content and community. It's all about protecting the biggest investment most people make: their home.Giving Back Through Philanthropy and Community BuildingAnthony shares how ACG gives back through annual initiatives like school supply drives, holiday sponsorships for families, and donations to women's shelters. He's also started spotlighting other small business owners in the community to showcase their “why” and support local entrepreneurship.The Story Behind the Famous Fur CoatSean introduces the legendary faux fur coat that's raised nearly $250,000 for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. Purchased for $1 at Value Village, it's auctioned every two years at the Royal LePage National Sales Conference. Sean is part of a coast-to-coast team of Realtors that won the coat this year. He's using it to raise funds for his next charity trek—this time through Cambodia—to support the West Island Women's Shelter.Final ThoughtsThis episode is a perfect example of how two industries—real estate and HVAC—can come together around shared values: service, education, trust, and community. Whether it's through Anthony's innovative client-first approach or Sean's passion for building connections through the Homeowners Advisory Club, the message is clear: great business is built on great relationships. Homeowners don't just want to be sold—they want to be empowered. And when professionals lead with transparency, generosity, and heart, everyone...

Matthew Lesko, an 81-year-old entrepreneur, shared his life journey, his realization about government money programs, and his desire to educate people about them. He also discussed the importance of giving and helping others, the role of technology in sharing information, and the significant income disparity in the US. The conversation concluded with a discussion on personal growth, the widening income gap, and the importance of taking control of one's own destiny.   Community Economy and Capitalism Discussion Matthew Lesko shared his experiences and insights about the balance between the community economy and capitalism in the US. He emphasized that the community economy, which includes government and nonprofit organizations, accounts for 40% of the economy, while the remaining 60% is driven by capitalist ventures. Matthewlesko also discussed his personal journey, from growing up in a working-class family to becoming a successful consultant and entrepreneur. He expressed his frustration that many people, particularly those struggling financially, are unaware of the government programs and resources available to them, and that those who are more affluent often exploit these systems for personal gain. The Value of Giving and Helping Matthew and Michael discussed the importance of giving and helping others, drawing from their personal experiences and observations. Matthew shared his journey of realizing the value of giving and how it has grown over time, particularly through his subscription service that has helped 15,000 people access grants. He emphasized the importance of sharing one's unique talents and not copying others. Michael agreed, highlighting the positive impact of Matthew's service on society. They also touched on the idea of finding one's own unique talents and not being afraid to fail while pursuing them. The conversation ended with Matthew expressing his frustration over the misconception that his subscription service was a strategic branding move, when in fact, it was born out of a desire to help others. Google's Impact on Income Inequality Matthew expressed his belief that Google is negatively impacting society, particularly those who are struggling financially. He pointed out that the average income for the bottom 90% of earners has not increased significantly over the past 40 years, while the top 10% have seen substantial growth. This, he argued, has led to a higher poverty rate in the US compared to other developed countries. Michael responded with a non-committal "Hmm". Widening Income Gap and Society Michael and Matthew Lesko discussed the widening income gap and its impact on society. Matthew shared his belief that the gap started around 1979 and that it's not just about wealth, but also about skills and education. They agreed that there are programs now for skills training, which could lead to higher-paying jobs without the need for a college degree. They also touched on the topic of greed and dissatisfaction, which they believe contribute to hatred. Matthew emphasized the importance of personal growth and comfort in improving one's life and society as a whole. They concluded the conversation with Matthew sharing his community resources and Michael expressing his appreciation for Matthew's service and insights.

Nonprofits, the landscape is shifting under your feet, and the urgency to act has never been clearer. Hatsy Cutshall, Director of Government Awards Management at Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC), joined us to deliver an urgent message: communication and clarity are your best defense in these chaotic times. With executive orders rapidly reshaping your funding environment, understanding the roles of federal agencies such as the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is no longer optional—it's crucial for survival. Hatsy emphasizes, “Never assume that if you've got questions, don't assume one way or the other. Ask those questions because it's better to know up front.” The federal funding landscape is complex, and failure to act proactively can result in detrimental consequences.Hatsy highlights the critical importance of proactive communication with federal program officers, underscoring their role as partners rather than adversaries. Nonprofits should connect with these officers to clarify expectations, understand legal jargon in contracts, and adapt programs quickly in response to shifting circumstances. According to Hatsy, "Program officers are there to partner with you and help you succeed.”This chaotic environment doesn't only affect nonprofits directly receiving federal funds. Hatsy clearly warns that the impact trickles down, influencing state and local funding channels. Every nonprofit is vulnerable. Ignoring the warning signs can lead to missed opportunities, funding losses, and compliance disasters. The time to engage is now. Reach out proactively, communicate clearly, and build strategic relationships with federal program officers who are your allies, not your adversaries!#NonprofitAlert #FederalFundingFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITMissing black boxes. Frozen bodies. Questionable government grants. Today's episode dives into three bizarre news stories that raise troubling questions about institutional accountability and transparency.We begin with the puzzling National Transportation Safety Board report on January's Philadelphia plane crash that killed seven people. Investigators recovered the black box buried eight feet underground only to discover it hadn't been recording for years. How is this possible? What other critical safety oversights might be happening in the aviation industry?The mystery surrounding three Kansas City Chiefs fans found frozen to death has finally been resolved – they died from fentanyl and cocaine toxicity before freezing. But in a surprising turn, authorities have arrested the homeowner and his alleged drug dealer on involuntary manslaughter charges, raising complex questions about personal responsibility versus dealer accountability in drug-related deaths.Perhaps most eyebrow-raising is the revelation that the Biden administration approved a $600,000 USDA grant to study menstruation in transgender individuals – part of $128 million spread across 341 gender-related research grants. This spending raises serious questions about priorities and oversight in government funding.We wrap up with a thought-provoking question: If you could instantly become an expert in any field, what would you choose and why? This leads to an interesting reflection on what truly makes someone an "expert" in the first place.Don't miss our "Brood Awakening" podcast this Sunday!

In this engaging episode of Inner Edison Podcast, we dive into a conversation with the iconic Matthew Lesko. Known for his enthusiastic personality and his intriguing question mark suit, Matthew shares his journey from the steps of D.C. to being a trusted source of information about grants and government assistance programs. Matthew discusses his early days as a veteran in the Navy and how his experiences shaped his career path, leading to his passion for helping people access available resources. He and the host converse about how vital it is for people to understand the "community economy" comprising government and nonprofit organizations, which account for 40% of the economy. Matthew emphasizes the importance of learning how to navigate these resources, which are often overshadowed by capitalism-driven Google searches. The episode also touches on Matthew's transition from traditional publishing to leveraging modern platforms, fostering a community of 12,000 at Lesko Help, and his innovative way of reaching audiences through TV scrap time in the early days. Matthew's journey is particularly inspiring for those looking to make a difference in the community by utilizing government and nonprofit resources effectively.

Think grants are just for big corporations or nonprofits? Think again. Nearly 40% of the U.S. economy is designed to give away money—but most small business owners have no idea how to access it. In this episode, we're diving deep into free money for small businesses with the legendary Matthew Lesko—yes, the guy in the question mark suit who's been uncovering government grants for 50 years. He breaks down exactly where business owners can find grants, free resources, and funding opportunities without falling into Google's money traps. If you've ever wondered how billionaires get handouts while small businesses struggle, this episode is a must-listen. Who is Matthew? Matthew Lesko has spent five decades researching and exposing the government's hidden funding opportunities. He's been a best-selling author, TV personality, and now runs a thriving online community helping everyday people find grants, funding, and free resources. Episode Highlights: 40% of the economy is designed to give away money—but you won't find it on Google. The SBA and local assistance programs should be your first stop, not loan sharks. Most government programs aren't even advertised—because they don't have a marketing budget. Economic development zones & state incentives can literally pay you to move your business. Grants are nice, but government contracts are where the real money is. If you want to stop missing out on free money for your business, hit play now. And if you loved this episode, share it with a fellow entrepreneur who needs to hear it.   Favorite Quote: “40% of our economy is designed to GIVE AWAY money—but nobody teaches you how to get it."   Links & Resources: SBA Local Assistance: sba.gov/local-assistance Economic Development Centers: eda.gov Nonprofit Help: findhelp.org Lesko's Community: leskohelp.com   Connect with Matthew: Website: https://www.free.lesko.com/leskohelp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thematthewlesko/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwKJZfa7sWV_qKxQnLBUpjA X: https://x.com/leskofreemoney

Since WWII, the United States has been actively engaged in foreign aid as part of its strategic foreign policy, and Christians of all theological and political views have broadly supported this effort. In the first month of the Trump administration, however, Christians on the far right have suddenly turned against international aid. What's behind this change and are there parallels on the religious left? And what does it mean when MAGA Catholics are arguing directly with Pope Francis about immigrants, refugees, and the poor? Author and journalist, Katherine Stewart, has investigated the religious nationalist movement for 15 years. She says there's a major disconnect between the super-rich funding the movement (many aren't even Christians), and the average white evangelicals caught up in its conspiracy theories and events. She talks with Skye about her new book, “Money, Lies, and God.” Also this week—Phil looks at larvae and sees the face of God.   World Relief Advocate: https://worldrelief.org/advocate/   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/122502748/ Ad-Free version of this episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/122579252/ 0:00 - Show Starts   2:28 - Theme Song   2:50 - Sponsor - AG1 - Heavily researched, thoroughly purity-tested, and filled with stuff you need.

Born on May 11, 1943, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Lesko gained widespread attention in the 1990s through infomercials promoting his books, which guide readers on how to apply for grants, government loans, and other forms of free financial assistance. Lesko holds an MBA from American University and began his career working for large corporations, but he shifted his focus to educating the public about government funding. His distinctive persona, marked by his energetic delivery and quirky wardrobe, made him a memorable figure in popular culture. Lesko claims his mission is to empower everyday people by helping them understand how to access government funds they may be unaware of.

As a top business professor and academic entrepreneur, I've witnessed countless academic entrepreneurs chasing the illusion of "free" government grants to fund their startups. The notion that you can easily secure grant funding without significant strings attached is a delusion that wastes more time and effort than it's worth. In reality, these grants are rare, highly competitive, and often come with obligations that can hinder your entrepreneurial freedom.You'll find yourself spending precious time navigating bureaucratic red tape instead of focusing on your venture. The truth is, you have to come to terms with investing your own money and resources to bring your ideas to life. Moreover, pursuing entrepreneurship within academia can be a thankless endeavor, often undervalued by your peers and institutions.Despite these challenges, you embark on this journey because you believe it's important—not for financial gain or external validation. But be prepared: free government grants without significant commitments are virtually nonexistent. Success in academic entrepreneurship demands personal investment, resilience, and the acceptance that the path is fraught with obstacles that no amount of "free" funding can eliminate.
