Two days after he sued, a federal grand jury indicted him. He never got the gold back. Hans opens with an update on Brian, who may be home temporarily in September or October but likely stays on active duty orders, then turns to the Treasury's announcement that it is doubling its long end buyback operations from two billion to four billion. The dollar figure is a rounding error against forty trillion in debt. The signal is not, and it is the same move Scott Bessent spent the last two years criticizing Janet Yellen for making.Chapters 00:00 – Opening segment 02:20 – No end in sight and why nobody negotiates with America anymore 06:35 – Reading the macro tape without becoming a permabear 07:55 – The Treasury doubles its long end buybacks 09:15 – The economic equivalent of no new foreign wars 11:50 – Where Hans actually sits on the political spectrum13:10 – Two billion to four billion: the substance of the move 14:05 – Bills, notes, and bonds, and why the distinction matters here 16:35 – Off-the-run long bonds and a disorderly long end 17:35 – What they are buying and what is paying for it 19:00 – One leg of QE, not the money printing leg 20:15 – Yellen's trillion dollar mistake and the two percent mortgage analogy 22:40 – Bessent criticized this exact move, then made it 23:55 – Yield curve control and how far away it actually is 24:25 – Intervening into a record high market with no visible fever 26:00 – The debasement trade and the stock market as pressure release valve 28:30 – The yen intervention and why Japan matters 29:15 – The repo facility and keeping Treasuries out of foreign hands 32:20 – What all three moves have in common 33:30 – Hormuz closed, oil creeping, and an empty petroleum reserve 36:45 – Japan as the roadmap for where this road ends 37:50 – Homeschooling, wristbands, and the safe and inclusive playground 43:35 – Frederick Barber Campbell walks into Chase National Bank 46:05 – The lawsuit, the indictment, and the demurrer 49:50 – When a dollar was a bearer claim on gold 51:55 – Benjamin Strong, the Bank of England, and the boom that had to bust 53:10 – How the Fed was sold to America in 1913 55:50 – Nine thousand banks fail and the money supply drops a third 58:50 – The Fed as an instrument of extraction 01:00:35 – Where America sits in the line, and the prison hierarchy analogy 01:03:50 – Hamilton, specie, and the principle of productive credit 01:06:05 – The bank holiday and the Emergency Banking Act 01:07:45 – Five words added to the Trading with the Enemy Act 01:10:20 – Executive Order 6102 defines hoarding as owning 01:16:20 – The markup from twenty dollars to thirty-five 01:17:35 – The Gold Reserve Act and the Exchange Stabilization Fund 01:18:35 – Marriner Eccles and the fight over the lever of power 01:21:25 – Carter Glass fights the bill he made possible 01:22:30 – The FOMC is created and open market operations take over 01:24:45 – Killing the regional discount rate and the governor it provided 01:27:30 – Half a Keynesian equation with no brakes on the other sideKey TakeawaysThe size of the buyback is not the story. Doubling from two billion to four billion per operation is meaningless against forty trillion in debt. What matters is that the Treasury told the market, in a public press release, that it will step in and buy the long end when demand thins out.
Ginny Yurich, founder of 1000 Hours Outside, joins Sissy and David to explore how outdoor play, movement, and hands-on experiences prepare children to learn and grow. She shares how homeschooling has shaped her understanding of education, emphasizing that children learn constantly through their interests, relationships, everyday responsibilities, and time in nature. Ginny also explains how outdoor play builds problem-solving skills, agency, confidence, and the ability to assess healthy risks. In a rapidly changing, technology-driven world, she encourages parents to focus less on performance and more on developing distinctly human strengths such as creativity, empathy, communication, practical skills, and meaningful relationships.

We also look at why homeschool doesn't need to imitate a nine-to-three school day and how ordinary moments, from breakfast to dishwashing, can become rich opportunities for connection and learning.Come discover how work and homeschool can fit into the same family tapestry.Resources:Registration is open now Registration is open now for Playing with Poetry: Discovery and many other Brave Writer classes!Check out the special offer at Talkbox.MOM/brave and start speaking a new language with your kids from day one!Start a free trial of CTCmath.com to try the math program that's sure to grab and keep your child's attentionIf you've ever thought of trying out online music lessons, now is the time!

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Find Bill at https://substack.com/@cgpodcast The U.S. Military Is a Trillion-Dollar Paper Tiger—Drones, Carriers, and Strategic Failure The hosts interview retired U.S. Army officer and military historian Bill Buppert, fellow at the Libertarian Institute and host of the Chasing Ghosts podcast, about U.S. military shortcomings and strategic failures since 1945. Buppert argues the Pentagon fields expensive "exquisite platforms" that are unfit for 21st-century peer conflict, citing lost influence in the Middle East and Africa and recurring defeats or stalemates in Iraq and Afghanistan. He critiques procurement and consolidation after the 1993 "Last Supper," and highlights troubled systems including the Zumwalt, Littoral Combat Ship, Ford-class EMALS, aircraft carriers, and the F-35's low readiness rates. He emphasizes the revolution of cheap FPV/UAV warfare, salvo competition in air defense, depleted munitions stockpiles (including Stingers), limited U.S. homeland missile defense, and vulnerabilities such as container-launched drones. The conversation also covers Ukraine's prospects against Russia, NATO red lines, Iran's terrain and history, and the importance of considering moral injury in war. 00:00 Meet Bill Buppert 01:52 Paper Tiger Pentagon 04:56 Iraq War Blowback 06:24 Rakes and Stupidity 10:22 Bureaucracy and Budgets 12:05 Navy Procurement Fails 14:05 Carrier and EMALS Risks 18:49 Drones Change Warfare 24:13 Defense Industry Monopoly 27:20 Salvo Competition IAMD 31:46 Carriers vs China Math 36:28 F-35 Readiness Disaster 39:56 Homeland Missile Defense Limits 42:58 Smuggled Nukes and Drones 44:22 Homeland Attack Scenarios 46:06 Civil Defense Blind Spot 47:12 Empire Mindset and 9/11 48:25 Bring Policy Home 51:14 Bureaucracy and Defense Waste 53:07 Drones Change Warfare 54:43 Why COIN Fails 56:58 Ukraine Forecast and NATO 59:57 Iran Nukes and Regional Power 01:08:09 Homeschooling and Trades 01:11:29 Iran Terrain and History 01:14:12 Moral Injury and Farewell
Homeschooling should be a pre-marriage conversation and almost nobody treats it like one.Today's guest is Mandy Davis — author of The Homeschool Bible, former school principal, and a leading voice helping parents take back authority over their children's education. She argues this decision shouldn't wait until your child turns five; it belongs in the conversation long before you say "I do." We talk about what to do when your spouse isn't on board, why the non-homeschooling parent matters more than most families realize, and why so many teachers are walking away from the system.Thank you to our sponsors!GEVITI: Use code "ALEX" to get 20% off of your first purchaseBRANCH BASICS: Use code "ALEX15" for 15% off Starter KitsZEBRA: Use code "ALEX" for 10% off any orderBIRTHRIGHT: Use code "ALEX" for 15% off your first orderPRIMA: Use code "ALEXCLARK20" for 20% off a one-time purchaseA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICS: Use code "ALEX" for 25% off first time orderOur Guest:Mandy DavisMandy's Links:WebsiteInstagram'The Homeschool Bible' BookFOLLOW ALEX:Instagram | @realalexclarkInstagram | @cultureapothecaryX | @yoalexrapzYouTube | @RealAlexClarkApple Podcast | Culture Apothecary with Alex ClarkSubscribe to ‘Culture Apothecary' on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Homeschooling isn't just about academics. It's about shaping character, habits, and family culture in the everyday moments. In this conversation with Erin from Gentle + Classical Press, we talk about what the early years can look like without the pressure of early academics, how to raise children who know how to use their free time well, and why consistency matters more than perfection.

What changes when we stop treating homeschooling as something we do to our children and begin learning alongside them?Connection is at the heart of meaningful education: connection to ourselves, to the subjects we study, and to one another. We explore how curiosity leads to purpose, why collaboration matters more than perfect independence, and how low-stakes practice can help children build confidence without turning every lesson into an evaluation.From fractions and cookies to grammar, handwriting, games, and writing revision, we look at practical ways to turn abstract academics into learning that feels useful and alive.Join us and discover what can happen when we trade coercion for connection.Resources:Registration is open now for Playing with Poetry: Discovery and many other Brave Writer classes!

In this episode, I'm sharing what homeschooling six kids looks like for us this year. I'll walk you through our daily rhythm, the curriculum we're using, what my kids are doing independently, and what we're still doing together as a family. I'm also sharing what's working really well right now, what we're still figuring out, and how our homeschool continues to change as my kids get older.

Nach seiner Reise durch Sachsen-Anhalt trifft Thilo Mischke die Journalistin Wiebke Hollersen. Sie hat alle Folgen der Reise gehört – und einiges daran zu kritisieren. Im Zentrum steht Thilos Gespräch mit dem AfD-Politiker Matthias Lieschke. War Thilo zu voreingenommen? Hat er zu sehr versucht, seinen Gesprächspartner mit dessen Partei zu konfrontieren, statt herauszufinden, warum er überhaupt Teil dieser Partei ist? Und was passiert mit einem Interview, wenn ein Politiker von Beginn an spürt, wie der Journalist ihm gegenübersteht? Thilo und Wiebke sprechen offen über journalistische Haltung, Fehler und die Grenzen politischer Interviews. Es geht um die Frage, ob Journalistinnen und Journalisten ihre Gesprächspartner überzeugen oder „entlarven“ wollen sollten – oder ob ihre eigentliche Aufgabe darin besteht, so lange nachzufragen, bis das Publikum selbst verstehen kann, wie ein Mensch denkt. Dabei diskutieren die beiden auch konkrete Fehler und Zuspitzungen aus Thilos Gespräch mit Lieschke: etwa beim Frauenbild der AfD, bei Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen und beim Homeschooling. Wie präzise muss Kritik sein, damit sie funktioniert? Und verliert Journalismus an Glaubwürdigkeit, wenn er Positionen des Gegenübers stärker zuspitzt, als dessen Programm sie tatsächlich formuliert? Anhand eines aktuellen Spiegel-Covers über AfD-Spitzenkandidat Ulrich Siegmund geht es schließlich um die Medien insgesamt: Was bewirken Schlagzeilen wie „der gefährlichste Mann Deutschlands“? Warnen sie vor politischen Entwicklungen – oder liefern sie Politikern genau das Material, mit dem diese sich gegenüber ihren Anhängern inszenieren können? Und dann ist da noch der Blick auf Sachsen-Anhalt. Warum wird der Erfolg der AfD so häufig als spezifisch ostdeutsches Problem erzählt, obwohl rechtspopulistische Parteien international erfolgreich sind und die AfD auch im Westen Deutschlands hohe Ergebnisse erzielt? Welche Rolle spielen soziale und demografische Strukturen – und was übersehen wir, wenn wir politische Entwicklungen vor allem mit „dem Osten“ erklären? Ein selbstkritisches Gespräch über Haltung und Neugier, über AfD und Medien – und darüber, welchen Journalismus es braucht, wenn politische Gräben immer größer werden.

Zan Tyler and veteran homeschool mom Beth Martin get practical about shaping the high school years around your child's strengths, interests, and future goals. They talk co-ops, creative electives, transcripts, college planning, and the many paths available after graduation. Zan shares how real-life experiences became meaningful credits for her own children, while Beth explains why it's wise to plan ahead without locking your teen into one future.

Homeschooling is never a straight line. Seasons change, families grow, circumstances shift, and the way we teach our children evolves along the way.In this episode of Homeschool Better Together, I talk with Betsy Cypress, one of the curriculum writers behind Homeschool Better Together, about what it means to truly learn alongside your children.Betsy shares her homeschool journey—from raising five children and graduating her oldest, to unexpectedly welcoming four additional students into her homeschool after the loss of a close friend.

One of the biggest reasons I became an entrepreneur was freedom—but not just the freedom to work from anywhere or set my own schedule. I wanted to build my business around my family instead of fitting my family around my business. In this Behind the Business episode of The Classy Career Girl Podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of why our family chose homeschooling, what our homeschool days actually look like, and how I balance homeschooling three kids with running a business. I'm sharing our Charlotte Mason approach, why we only homeschool for a few focused hours each morning, the resources and curriculum that make homeschooling sustainable for me as a working mom, and how I structure my workday around our family's rhythm. You'll hear about: • Why we chose homeschooling—and why I don't believe there's one right choice for every family • What a Charlotte Mason education looks like in our home • How we use living books, short lessons, narration, and nature study • How I homeschool while still finding focused time to run my business • What I look for when choosing homeschool curriculum • Why I think in rhythms instead of trying to perfectly "balance" motherhood and entrepreneurship • How entrepreneurship has given our family more choices and flexibility • Why your career should support the life you actually want to create Whether you homeschool or have absolutely no interest in homeschooling, this episode is really about something bigger: intentional living. You don't have to copy someone else's version of success. Instead, ask yourself: What do I want my life to look like—and how can I build my career or business around that?

Cassandra Armstrong lived a life riddled with tragedy and pain. It wasn't until her mother died that she realized something striking: she had never learned how to process her grief. She had created a shell of protection around herself rather than dealing with past trauma. Thanks to God's grace, her mother's passing catalyzed a major life redirection: finding peace and stability in the Word of God. Today, Cassandra is a wife, mom, writer, and homesteader. She discusses the incredible benefits of homeschooling on a homestead in the beautiful state of Maine. She works hard to instill values in her kids that reflect the truth of Scripture - values that will prepare them for the harsh realities of a world in turmoil. TAKEAWAYS When you are considering a big decision, ask yourself if it aligns with Scripture Don't just survive grief; go through it and deal with it Homeschooling and homesteading foster independence, servanthood, and confidence You're not the only person with a chaotic or messy story - everybody is dealing with some kind of pain
Do you ever wonder, “Am I doing enough?” as a homeschool mom? You're not alone. In this episode, we're offering a reminder that homeschooling was never meant to be measured by perfection, packed schedules, or completed checklists. The heart of homeschooling is faithfulness—loving our children well, discipling their hearts, and creating a home where learning, wonder, and connection can grow. Join us as we explore encouragement from beloved homeschool voices who remind us that our presence matters more than perfect lessons, that childhood is worth protecting, and that some of the most meaningful learning happens through simple moments together. From read-alouds on the couch to adventures outdoors and everyday conversations, these reminders will encourage you to embrace the beauty of the homeschool journey right where you are. Because years from now, your children may not remember every worksheet or lesson plan—but they will remember the atmosphere of home you created.

Why are so many faithful Christians still battling chronic illness? In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with functional medicine expert Dr. Dusty Hess to uncover why health stewardship is among the most overlooked topics in the Church today. If you've ever wondered why people who love God still struggle with fatigue, chronic disease, ADHD, inflammation, hormone imbalance, or poor health, this episode offers a fresh biblical and practical perspective.Dr. Dusty shares how functional medicine and God's original design work together to help families identify the root causes of illness instead of simply managing symptoms. We discuss why stewardship—not perfection—is the goal, how environmental toxins, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle influence our health, and why Christian families need a better model for lasting wellness.If you're ready to stop surviving and start stewarding the body God entrusted to you, this episode will encourage, challenge, and equip you with practical next steps.Podcast Chapters[00:00] Welcome to the Visibly Fit Podcast[01:16] Topic and Guest Introduction[03:50] Dr. Dusty's Mission: Helping Christian Families Thrive[05:30] A Personal Story That Changed Everything[07:00] Why Our Modern Lifestyle Is Making Us Sick[07:38] ADHD: Diagnosis or Root Cause?[10:00] Medication vs. Finding the Real Cause[12:21] Environmental Toxins and God's Original Design[15:29] Health Stewardship Is an Act of Worship[21:54] Common Health Challenges Christian Families Face[24:15] Why Coaching and Accountability Matter[25:32] The Four Pillars of Biblical Health[27:53] Why Are Good Christians Still Sick?[29:24] Feeling Fine Doesn't Mean You're Healthy[32:30] Why Functional Testing Matters[33:37] Health Misconceptions in the Church[36:45] Bringing Hope Back to Christian Health[37:23] Why Whole-Family Health Changes Everything[42:17] ADHD, Homeschooling & The Cultural War on Health[44:10] Dr. Dusty's Vision for the Church[47:55] Final Encouragement for Every Christian Family[50:30] Where to Connect with Dr. DustyResources mentioned:• Upstream Health: https://upstreamhealth.comConnect with today's guest: Dr. Dusty Hess is a nationally recognized functional medicine doctor, author, speaker, and founder of Upstream Health, a faith-centered movement helping Christian families reclaim their health by returning to God's original design.

As parents, educators, and caregivers, we're constantly giving—to our children, our students, our families, and our communities. But what if the key to lasting happiness isn't giving more... it's being more intentional about what fills you first?In this episode, I sit down with mom of six, educator, and microschool founder Candace "Candi" Lehenbauer to explore her simple yet powerful philosophy: you can't serve from an empty platter. Together, we talk about overcoming comparison, cultivating curiosity, embracing lifelong learning, and creating daily rhythms that allow us to pour into others from a place of fullness instead of depletion.
Choosing how to educate your kids can feel overwhelming—especially when every option seems to come with strong opinions and stereotypes. In this episode, Clayton, Amy, and one of our favorite guest hosts, Arthur Tew, each represent a different schooling experience (public, private Christian, and homeschool) and have an honest, good-humored conversation about why faithful families often arrive at different decisions.Rather than debating which option is "right," they challenge one another to acknowledge the common stereotypes surrounding each choice—and then explain the truths, misconceptions, and tradeoffs behind them. Along the way, they discuss parental responsibility, Christian formation, diversity, academics, and the reality that no educational model is perfect.Whether you've already made your decision or you're still wrestling through it, this conversation is an invitation to think intentionally, hold your convictions with humility, and extend grace to families who make different choices.TakeawaysFaithful Christian families can thoughtfully arrive at different school choices.Every educational model has strengths, weaknesses, and tradeoffs.Homeschooling has evolved significantly over the past two decades.Private Christian schools often require financial sacrifice—not just financial privilege.Diversity of people, perspectives, and learning styles is worth considering in every schooling decision.Parents remain the primary influence on their children's formation, regardless of where they're educated.Difficult conversations are inevitable—and parents should be prepared to have them.The goal isn't finding the "perfect" school, but being intentional about your family's values and your children's formation.Grace and humility go a long way when talking about deeply personal parenting decisions.Chapters00:00 – Why school choice feels so personal02:50 – Arthur shares why his family homeschools06:40 – Amy's journey from public school to private Christian school11:20 – Clayton explains why his family chose public school13:10 – Ground rules: agreeing with stereotypes before defending them14:15 – "Homeschoolers are awkward."

Who has the greatest influence over the next generation? Homeschooling isn't just about where your children learn algebra, it's about who is shaping their hearts. In this episode, we're joined by our mom to talk about why she chose homeschooling, what she learned along the way, and how that decision impacted our family. Whether you're homeschooling, sending your kids to public school, private school, or simply thinking about the future, this conversation is ultimately about biblical discipleship, the God-given role of parents, and building strong families in a culture that's constantly competing for our children's attention. Let's get into it! Connect With The Few! Follow us and join the conversation:
This week, I talk with Kate Johnson about her deconstruction journey and healing from religious trauma. Listen to hear all about: How growing up in evangelical culture created an information bubble. We reflect on how strict media restrictions, homeschooling, and Christian-only entertainment reinforced the belief that avoiding certain books, movies, and ideas would keep families spiritually and physically safe. How trauma exposed the cracks in that worldview. Kate Johnson shares how her father's arrest for child sexual abuse material shattered the promise that following every rule would guarantee safety, leading to a painful reevaluation of the community and beliefs she trusted. Why forgiveness without accountability can deepen harm. We discuss how teachings about immediate forgiveness sometimes minimize abuse, shift responsibility onto victims, and allow perpetrators to avoid meaningful accountability. When books became a path toward healing and perspective. Kate Johnson shares how fantasy novels initially provided escape during childhood, while later works by authors like Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Rachel Held Evans, and Tia Levings helped her understand her experiences within the larger context of evangelical culture rather than seeing them as isolated events. How deconstruction ultimately led to connection instead of fear. Rather than abandoning spirituality altogether, we discuss moving toward a spirituality rooted in curiosity, community, nature, joy, and authentic human connection instead of shame, perfectionism, and control.

A recent Parents.com article explaining the pros and cons of unschooling raises an important question: Are these really problems with unschooling—or signs that we're still defining learning through a school lens?In this episode, Sue Patterson looks at the concerns raised about basic skills, parental involvement, free time, and schedules—and explores where homeschooling parents may need to pivot.Are children really learning only when they're completing lessons? Does making them study subjects they dislike prepare them for the future? And what might they lose when their curiosity is repeatedly interrupted by an adult's curriculum checklist?We'll also explore what involved unschooling parenting actually looks like—and why starting with the learner may make more sense in today's world than starting with a predetermined body of knowledge.If you're ready to move away from the school version of learning but aren't sure what to do next, Unschooling 101 and Learning Math Without Curriculum can help.

Many parents love classical Christian education until one of their children doesn't seem to "fit the mold." Does classical education only work for naturally academic students? Or should an education rooted in truth, wisdom, and Christ be accessible to far more children? In this Summer Flashback, Davies Owens welcomes educator and school consultant Heather Lloyd to explore how classical Christian schools can better serve students with learning differences without compromising academic excellence. Together they discuss what truly defines classical Christian education, challenge misconceptions about rigor, and offer practical ideas for schools seeking to cultivate both truth and love in every classroom. Tune in to hear: Why "rigor" shouldn't define classical Christian education What the "mythical middle" is and why it matters How schools can better serve students with learning differences Practical ideas for creating classrooms where more children can flourish The non-negotiables of authentic classical Christian education Why Charlotte Mason still has much to teach today's educators Whether you're a parent, teacher, administrator, or school founder, this conversation offers encouragement and practical wisdom for building classrooms where every child is invited to pursue truth.

Many parents are told to “just deschool and do nothing” after pulling their kids out of traditional school—but with middle school and high schoolers, that advice often backfires.In this conversation with former middle school teacher turned homeschooling mom Janae Daniels, host of the School to Homeschool podcast, we talk about why older kids struggle most with doing “nothing” and why their brains crave structure after years in the system. Janae shares how her family—and the families she coaches—use simple academic guardrails in reading, writing, and math as a bridge into homeschooling.You'll hear why teens often say “I don't want to do anything… but I need to do something,” and how moving toward an eclectic unschooler approach can honor both their need for routine and their growing independence. We explore what eclectic unschooling looks like in real life: mixing a few structured subjects with child-led learning, embracing boredom as a spark for curiosity, and using tools like strewing and a rich home environment as “teachers.”If you're pulling an older child out of school—or considering it—this episode will help you decide which subjects need guardrails, what can truly wait, and how to transition toward a more eclectic, interest-driven homeschool without losing your teen in the process.If this episode of The Brainy Moms Podcast with Dr. Amy Moore and Sandy Zamalis helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who's considering homeschooling a teen, and leave a quick review so more parents can find us.
