Ex-Psychic Saved: Exposing Divination, New Age, and the Occult
Ex-psychic Jenn Nizza, who regularly speaks on the spiritual dangers of the occult, is warning about the growing prevalence of “manifesting” within the church. “It's infiltrating the church,” Jenn Nizza proclaims on this episode of the “Ex-Psychic Saved Podcast,” noting she embraced manifesting when she worked as a medium. “I fell into it and started believing it, and then I taught it as well.” Manifesting, which the New Age movement calls the law of attraction, is essentially the belief people can will or make certain things happen in their lives. As Crosswalk notes, “It is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into your life. It says that thoughts are energy; and energy can attract similar energies to itself because there is an attractive magnetic pattern to the universe.”Nizza sat down with Emily Massey of WeWouldRatherHaveJesus.com, to discuss this issue and its presence within Christian circles and to warn that the “name it and claim it” mentality amounts to “idolatry.” Massey noted culture is dominated by crystals and other tools that mainstream this type of spiritual practice. As for her own experience in the Word of Faith movement, she said there was an intense focus on the power of words.“For me, as far as the practice was concerned, everything came back to not only the positive thinking … but it goes beyond that to where it affects your speech,” she explained of her own past experience with manifesting. “You have to guard your speech … you must … speak out these positive, what they would call confessions.”It all came down to not “sowing” negative words, believing these words would have a certain power after being spoken.“It's that whole — ‘Don't, don't, don't speak it, don't claim it … we have to be careful with our words because they can be manifest into reality,'” Massey said.She took aim at these ideologies, noting the idea people could “manifest” something into reality “is not biblical faith.”“Biblical faith is solely trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ,” Massey said. “We believe in the Gospel, we believe in the finished work of the cross, and we believe the words of Christ and the word of God, and that is what we put our faith in Christ.”But she said others in these movements “distort the definition of faith to mean ‘a force.'” Listen to the conversation.FOLLOW JENN NIZZA:- Follow Jenn on Instagram- Follow Jenn on TikTok- Follow Jenn on YouTube- Get Jenn's books
In her classic studyThe Chrysanthemum and the Sword, US anthropologist Ruth Benedict argued that Japan's social psychology was shaped by a system of "obligation" and "shame".美国人类学家露丝·本尼迪克特在其经典研究《菊与刀》中指出,日本的社会心理结构是由“义务”和“羞耻”两种机制所塑造的。From Benedict's perspective, the obligation arises from duties transmitted through hierarchy and daily social interactions, while shame derives from the need to maintain personal honor and avoid public disgrace.在本尼迪克特看来,“义务”源自等级结构与日常互动中传递的责任,而“羞耻”则来自维持个人荣誉、避免公开耻辱的需要。Yet the "obligations" that seem to animate Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, which stem from a political lineage that has long romanticized Japan's militaristic past, are glorified instead of being a source of shame. By publicly signaling a readiness to engage in armed intervention over the Taiwan Strait situation — under the pretext of a fabricated "external threat" — Takaichi has actually voiced a military threat against China with her provocative and dangerous remarks on Taiwan during recent Diet deliberations.高市早苗在近期国会审议中,借编造的“外部威胁”为借口,公开表态准备对台海局势进行武力干预;她在台湾问题上的挑衅性、危险言论,实际上构成了对中国的军事威胁。Japan's modern political trajectory since the Meiji Restoration has often swung between the two poles of the chrysanthemum and the sword proposed by Benedict: The former representing restraint and civility, the latter aggression and expansionism as embodied by Takaichi's erroneous remarks on the Taiwan question.自明治维新以来,日本的现代政治轨迹常在本尼迪克特提出的“菊”与“刀”两极间摇摆:前者象征克制与文明,后者则象征侵略与扩张主义——高市在台湾问题上的错误言论正体现了“刀”的冲动。Her remarks mark a regression toward the impulses that plunged Japan and the wider region into the catastrophe of war. They are not simply rhetorical overreach. They constitute a calculated political gamble that uses "national security" and "regional stability" as leverage for Japan's "normalization" with the removal of the shackles on militarization. Shackles that to some in Japan are a source of shame, when in actual fact they are an obligation imposed on it by its unbridled aggression.她的表态意味着日本重新倒向曾令本国及更广泛地区陷入战争灾难的危险冲动。这不仅仅是言辞越界,而是一场经过算计的政治豪赌:以“国家安全”和“地区稳定”为杠杆,为日本解除军事化的束缚、推进所谓“正常化”铺路。在日本某些人眼中,这些限制似乎是耻辱,但事实上,它们是日本因昔日肆意侵略而必须承担的义务。Takaichi's attempt to crack open the Pandora's box of remilitarization not only violates the spirit of Japan's "pacifist" Constitution; it also interferes in China's internal affairs and disrupts the postwar international order that has underpinned peace in East Asia for decades.高市试图撬开再军事化的“潘多拉盒子”,既违背日本“和平宪法”的精神,又干涉中国内政,并破坏支撑东亚数十年和平的战后国际秩序。Takaichi's ascent to political prominence is inseparable from the rise of hard-line right-wing forces within Japan. Lacking substantive diplomatic experience, she has leaned heavily on ideological signaling to cement her identity as a far-right leader, treating such positioning as both a badge of honor and a shortcut to power.高市的政治崛起与日本国内强硬右翼势力的抬头密不可分。由于缺乏实质性的外交经验,她高度依赖意识形态姿态来巩固自己的极右翼领导者形象,将这种定位视为荣誉徽章与通往权力的捷径。Despite Japan's 1.8 percent economic contraction year-on-year in the third quarter, Takaichi is ignoring the country's economic woes.尽管日本第三季度经济同比萎缩1.8%,高市却无视国内日益加重的经济困境。Due to the pernicious influence of the right-wing politicians, public evaluation of the political leadership of the country increasingly appears less concerned with improving livelihoods and more attracted to the illusion of restoring a mythologized past.在右翼政客的恶劣影响下,日本公众对政治领导层的评价逐渐从关注民生改善转向迷恋对神化过去的虚妄复兴。Born in 1961, Takaichi grew up during Japan's economic rise. In the following decades, she developed an expansionist mentality similar to the generation of Japanese politicians belonging to Japan's first rise from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, who turned the country into a war machine. Under the leadership of Takaichi, Japan seems to stand at a similar crossroads now. The danger is that in driving this trend, Takaichi and her supporters are doing so despite being fully aware of its upshots. Yet history offers clear evidence of where valorizing aggression leads.出生于1961年的高市早苗成长于日本经济高速增长时期。此后数十年,她逐渐形成了类似日本第一次崛起时期(19世纪末至20世纪初)那代政治人物的扩张思维——正是那代人将日本变成了战争机器。在高市的领导下,日本如今似乎站在类似的十字路口。危险在于,高市及其支持者明知后果,却仍推动这种趋势;而历史已清楚证明,美化侵略最终会走向何处。Rather than repudiating it, Takaichi and other politicians uphold "the sword" rather than "the chrysanthemum" out of a misguided sense of loyalty to the past. With this mindset they try to keep the Japanese public in ignorance of the country's past wrongs by distorting and burying the uncomfortable truths of history. This fog of misinformation that cloaks reckless ambitions is being thickened with the rhetoric of upholding "regional peace" and "stability" against a "China threat".高市和一些政客非但未予否定,反而出于对过去的错误忠诚,选择拥抱“刀”而非“菊”。在这种思维下,他们试图通过歪曲与掩埋让日本公众不愿直面的历史真相,从而让民众对国家过去的罪错保持无知。这层遮掩鲁莽野心的信息迷雾,又被以“维护地区和平”“应对中国威胁”的言辞进一步加厚。Japan's past aggression originated from similar claims of "external threats" or acting on an expressed "duty" to maintain order in Asia. The result was not prosperity but suffering and atrocities at the unsheathing of "the sword". Its "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" during World War II became synonymous with destruction, exploitation and immeasurable suffering in the region.日本过去的侵略,也正是从类似的“外部威胁”与“维护亚洲秩序的职责”说辞中起步的。结果带来的不是繁荣,而是“刀出鞘”后的苦难与暴行。“大东亚共荣圈”成为二战时期地区毁灭、掠夺与无尽苦难的代名词。Today, the same playbook is being revived. Invoking "external threats" serves as a convenient pretext to push for revision of the Constitution, accelerate Japan's remilitarization and steer Japan back toward the path of becoming a power free to act without shame. The Taiwan question is merely the lever that has been chosen to advance this agenda.如今,同样的剧本正在重演。借“外部威胁”之名,成为推动修宪、加速再军事化、使日本重新走向无所顾忌的强国道路的便利借口。台湾问题不过是被选中的杠杆而已。Some observers may still expect rationality and responsibility from Japan's leadership. But repeated instances of reckless political maneuvering show a pattern resembling the "irrational moves" of the game of Go, a popular game in East Asia — moves that appear bold but violate basic principles and ultimately lead to defeat. Such behavior invites domestic backlash, international criticism and heightened regional risk.一些观察人士或许仍期待日本领导层展现理性与责任,但屡次鲁莽的政治操作已呈现出类似围棋中“愚形手”的模式——看似大胆,却违背基本原则,最终只会走向失败。这种行为将招致国内反弹、国际批评,并升高地区风险。Japan's genuine obligations on the Taiwan question are clearly defined in the four political documents between China and Japan — solemn commitments that leave it no wriggle room. The country's true shame lies in it betraying these obligations. Yet Tokyo's current policy orientation signals it feels no shame in taking this course of action.日本在台湾问题上的真正义务在中日四个政治文件中已有明确界定——这是不容回避的庄严承诺。真正的耻辱在于背弃这些义务。然而东京目前的政策取向显示,它对此毫无羞愧之意。remilitarization再军事化pacifist Constitution和平宪法far-right leader极右翼领导者Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere大东亚共荣圈no wriggle room无回旋余地

This is a different kind of episode than is typical; there's no book, no central text, not even a single, central event that guides the conversation. Instead, we begin with a few recent news items—speculation about Trump 2028, Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to swear in a Democratic congresswoman, the stunning abdication of Congress as the shutdown continues, and, incredibly, a secretive billionaire and Mellon heir donates over a hundred million dollars to pay the military, among others—and then lay out our profound worries about Trump ruling by decree, and the coming of MAGA-style Caeserism. How and when might that occur? We discuss troubling signals the Trump administration is sending about upcoming elections, and especially the 2026 midterms; the ticking time bomb that is the Insurrection Act; how the right thinks about executive power (then and now), and more.Sources:Peter Rothpletz, "Trump's Third Term?"

Presidential Authority: Using the National Guard vs. Invoking the Insurrection Act for Domestic Order Professor John Yoo John Batchelor and Professor John Yoo discuss the President's domestic powers to handle disorder. The Trump administration has utilized the state-organized National Guard, respecting states' rights. Yoo notes that a more serious step—using regular armed forces, such as the 101st Airborne Division, under the Insurrection Act to restore general law and order—has not yet been invoked. 1936

Alan recalls his troubled childhood in the impoverished North of England, reflects on the British class system, and shares his first encounter with Aleister Crowley. Alan recounts his occult adventures with long time collaborator Duncan Barford, shares his spiritual biography of awakenings and mystical experiences, and considers the power and pitfalls of spiritual transmission. Alan also compares gurus Papaji, and Andrew Cohen, and Adi Da; reveals why he considers Stephen Batchelor and Sam Harris to be Black Brothers; and discusses the role of the Dark Goddess on the path of awakening. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep323-british-occultist-alan-chapman Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 00:55 - Duncan Barford and Alex W 03:07 - Impoverished upbringing in the North of England 05:05 - Early reaction to Christ 05:56 - First encounter with Aleister Crowley 11:17 - Chaos magic and meeting Duncan Barford 12:00 - What kind of boy was Alan? 14:28 - Class consciousness 15:44 - Sensitive boy in a cruel environment 19:20 - Regret about violence 20:58 - One's own nature 22:25 - Alan questions Steve's questions 22:45 - British class system 27:21 - Liminal identity 29:50 - Working vs middle vs upper class 31:18 - Anti-aspiration 33:18 - Growing out of musical aspirations 37:36 - Shedding Feathers and fulfilment on the path 41:41 - Crowley book and facing challenges 47:37 - Path myth in The Book of the Law 54:56 - True path vs the New Age 58:08 - Following the Silent Knowing 01:05:10 - Facing darkness 01:10:36 - Black Brothers like Stephen Batchelor and Sam Harris 01:19:48 - Stephen Batchelor's crisis of faith 01:22:49 - Warning about spiritual teachers 01:23:48 - Stereotypes of culture and awakening 01:27:54 - Papaji and the nondual car crash 01:31:33 - Adi Da and guru yoga 01:35:45 - Papaji vs Adi Da 01:41:24 - Invoking the Holy Guardian Angel 01:47:30 - Andrew Cohen 01:52:16 - Great White Brotherhood 01:54:34 - Enlightened in India 01:57:26 - Ancestors appear 01:59:11 - Practicing with Adi Da 02:01:01 - Transmission traps 02:05:02 - Confronted by Adi Da disciple 02:06:51 - Solid, vital, peculiar 02:09:12 - Cutting truth and Adyashanti 02:10:43 - Reflections on Adi Da's trajectory 02:11:52 - Further awakening at 33 02:19:52 - Receiving the Magia teaching 02:33:58 - The Dark Goddess 02:36:15 - Accommodating yourself to the Damned 02:37:25 - Finding Sophia 02:40:28 - Crowley and Jung 02:42:14 - Myth of Sophia 02:47:42 - Sequel plans 02:48:58 - Alan's perspective on near death experiences 03:00:31 - Purpose of life and awakening … To find our more about Alan Chapman visit: - https://barbarouswords.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James
Your favorite shrinks, John Gartner and Harry Segal, present “this week” in Trump's cognitive decline, as well as an extended excerpt of Pritzker's heroic speech pushing back on federal threats to Chicago. While describing this moment in history, the two psychologists offer support and ways to cope with the anxiety Trump's chaos generates for all of us. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio When we revisit Trump's rallies and interviews this week, it feels less like campaign drama and more like a national group therapy session. Gartner and Segal track every rambling detour, abrupt topic shift, and glaring contradiction—not as mere gaffes, but as warning signals that someone at the helm may be losing his cognitive bearings. Every photo-op, from overseas summits to tense showdowns on U.S. streets, has started to resemble a rehearsal for power consolidation. Flashing military muscle instead of engaging in normal governance isn't strength; it's intimidation. Watching constitutional safeguards brushed aside as mere inconveniences ought to jolt us awake to the creeping authoritarian impulse. Amid that growing unease, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker stood up like a lighthouse in a storm. Invoking the Constitution, he called out federal threats to deploy the National Guard in Chicago and reminded everyone that local authority can't be bulldozed for political spectacle. While Trump's allies cheered each flex of force, Pritzker's words made clear that true leadership sometimes means speaking truth to power at the risk of losing applause. Gartner and Segal refuse to leave us adrift in anxiety. They argue that naming these mind games—the gaslighting, the fear-mongering—is our first line of defense. Checking facts in real time, fostering honest conversations with friends, and carving out simple daily rituals can help us stay grounded when the political airwaves feel like a hurricane. Listening to Shrinking Trump isn't just an exercise in critique; it's an invitation to reclaim our narrative. When we spot the cracks in Trump's rhetoric and recognize his power plays for what they are, we protect not only our sanity but the democratic foundations we hold dear.

Sometimes, earth is hungry for heaven. The ground is patched, and drought persists. In nations, in nature, and even in individual lives. The demand for heaven can be heavy. This Holy importunity draws down rain, draws down fire, unlocks the fountain of the great deep. This is heaven, and men everywhere are invited to invoke this response from above. There will be revival and a move of God in diverse places in the earth when we get "The Response of Heaven." Pastors JABAR & JANELLE MCKELLAR visit us from Saints and Soldiers Revival Ministries, Texas USA.
Ready to clear karmic ties, heal old wounds, and raise your vibration, every single day? This daily Violet Flame meditation is your sacred reset. It's more than a clearing, it's a full energetic rebirth. In this channeled process, you'll be guided to invoke the powerful frequency of the Violet Flame and connect with Ascended Master Saint Germain to transmute everything that's no longer serving you, across all dimensions and timelines. You'll release dense patterns, emotional residue, old beliefs, psychic debris, and karmic loops… and infuse your body, field, and soul with divine love, light, and protection. This process is a staple in my personal practice and has completely transformed my energy, clarity, and spiritual power. It's quick, potent, and life-shifting when done consistently. Think of it as a full energetic shower for your soul. We go into depth covering:
This week, we attempt to unravel the knot of love and infidelity with two films that couldn't be more different in their approach: Ingmar Bergman's playful classic, Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) and Mike Nichols' modern, biting drama, Closer (2004). We'll see how these two wildly different takes on intimacy and humiliation reveal the uncomfortable truths about what it means to love someone deeply - and to completely mess it up. Hosted on Acast.

Danica Shoan Ankele, Osho - ZMM - 7/26/25 - Invoking is more than simply using words. It is bringing forth all of our life energy and intention in a way that is transformative. Liturgy can be an entryway to this whole-body practice, expanding and opening our consciousness. When free of storytelling about the “self,” we are not at all separated from that “vastness of mind” that pervades the whole universe. In this way we open our whole selves to giving—and receiving—a vast love for all the world.
This is a replay of an episode originally aired on Apr 15, 2025. A Texas adjuster gets an assignment for a simple hail damage claim. He anticipates having to argue with the roofing contractor, debate whether overhead and profit is owed, deal with the supplementing company, receive an appraisal demand, and finally face a lawsuit. About Our Guest Steven J. Badger, Partner, Zelle LLP sbadger@zellelaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-badger-467b0322/ Notable Timestamps [ 00:20 ] - Because of his years of experience, he knows that the 30 square comp shingle roof should cost about $20,000 to replace. (Amount provided is for reference and example purposes only.) [ 01:10 ] - For 34 years, Steve Badger has represented mostly the commercial property insurance industry, and for the past decade has focused on catastrophe, hail, and wind claims. [ 02:00 ] - Many policies allow the insurance company to replace the roof themselves through preferred contractors. [ 04:15 ] - Having an "preferred contract network" or "managed repair" endorsement can reduce ambiguity as compared to the base policy. [ 05:50 ] - Such endorsements could be optional or mandatory. [ 07:00 ] - Steve argues that these endorsements can be a win/win/win for the insurer, insured, and contractor. [ 08:20 ] - Steve explores the potential benefits of the endorsement, such as reduced deductibles. [ 09:15 ] - Invoking "our option" means that if-- for example-- the selected contractor floods the house, the insurer could be responsible. However, an endorsement in this style could allow the insured to choose to employ the network. Further, contractors in the network could assume the risk. [ 11:15 ] - Steve discusses industry interest in preventative solutions. [ 13:00 ] - Steve contrasts the contractor who put on the roof asking for a supplement to a separate company focused on supplementation, and shifts focus to the insured's needs.

For thirty years, Clarence Thomas has been denounced as the “cruelest justice,” a betrayer of his race, an ideologue, and the enemy of the little guy. Today, Judge Amul Thapar will demolish that caricature. Every day, Americans go to court. Invoking the Constitution, they fight for their homes, for a better education for their children, and to save their cities from violence. “Finding the right answer,” Justice Thomas has observed, “is often the least difficult problem.” What is needed is “the courage to assert that answer and stand firm in the face of the constant winds of protest and criticism.”Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This lecture centers on the biblical narrative involving Barnabas and Saul, exploring the theme of commissioning and sending as an essential aspect of faith practice. The lecture opens with an examination of Acts 13, where the early church at Antioch, comprised of diverse leaders including Barnabas and Saul, engages in worship and fasting. During this time, the Holy Spirit prompts them to appoint Barnabas and Saul for a special mission, marking the onset of a profound journey of spreading the gospel beyond their immediate community.The speaker reflects on a recent personal experience of being involved in welcoming families from various backgrounds into the community, exemplifying the blessings that come from stepping outside one's comfort zone. This introspection leads to a broader discussion on the importance of blessing others during times of unrest and uncertainty, paralleling individual experiences with the biblical call to bless and serve others. The lecture transitions into the concept of centrifugal blessing, where the church is seen not merely as a reservoir of faith but as a dynamic entity called to actively extend blessings outward.With a detailed analysis of the commissioning of Barnabas and Saul, the speaker emphasizes the dual nature of sending: the church's initiative to send based on its discernment and the Holy Spirit's involvement in affirming that sending. The lecture highlights the emotional complexities tied to sending beloved members of the community on a mission, sharing personal anecdotes about the difficulty of parting. By dissecting the Greek terminology related to 'sending,' the speaker shifts the understanding from mere dispatching to a deeper act of releasing, which involves trust, sacrifice, and active participation in God's wider purpose.Continuing further, the lecturer explores the implications of being a part of a dynamic, mission-focused church, emphasizing that this mission transcends geographical boundaries. With reference to the historical context and the diverse background of the Antioch church, the speaker illustrates the importance of community discernment in recognizing and responding to God's call. The narrative unfolds into a broader theme of how believers are invited to participate in God's mission, whether through direct sending or through supporting those called to go.The lecture addresses potential fears and barriers to responding to God's call, reinforcing that such fears are legitimate yet surmountable through faith. The speaker encourages reflection on personal capacities and contexts that lend themselves to being a blessing to others, urging attendees to identify their unique callings in their immediate environments. This leads to an empowering message that every member of the congregation has a role to play in God's mission, whether through direct involvement or by supporting others in their journeys.As the lecture transitions to conclusion, the speaker encourages engagement with the community and prayer for clarity regarding personal callings. Invoking the audience to put their “yes” on the table, the lecturer highlights the importance of community support in facilitating individual commitments to be a blessing. The discussion culminates in a moment of reflection on the significance of communion, connecting the themes of the lecture back to the shared experience of the faith community.Through the exploration of commissioning, the speaker invites all to reflect on their roles within the greater narrative of sending and blessing, emphasizing that this is not just a historical account but a contemporary call to action for believers today. This thoughtful engagement with scripture not only brings to light the practice of commissioning but also reinforces a community ethos centered on mutual support and active participation in God's mission to bless the world.

The chaos at the Pentagon is getting worse as more and more news stories about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth continue to pour out. And now, the staffers he fired (that he also hired) for allegedly leaking are coming after him. They're eating their own–and the mayhem is expanding quickly and overwhelming Hegseth and The Building. What happens next? Will Trump fire him? Who could replace him? Who's watching our nukes?!?! It's another wild week in America–and time for another walk and talk. And this week, Paul is back in New York City. And spring has finally sprung in the Big Apple. And the political chaos here continues to grow like tulips in the sunshine. It's also home to some of the worst mayors anyone has ever seen. From the epic failure that was DeBlasio to the now disgraced Giuliani, to the criminally corrupt and incompetent Eric Adams, the city that never sleeps also seems to be the city that can never catch a break when it comes to good leadership. And with Trump constantly focused on it, what happens in NYC impacts the world now more than ever. And this fall, there's a massive off-cycle election to determine who takes if from here. And this week, we've got a candidate for Mayor that wants to end the chaos. And wants to do it differently: as an independent. But you've probably never heard of him until now. Jim Walden (@JimForNYC) is a former prosecutor for the Eastern District of New York and a first time candidate. He's prosecuted mob bosses, corrupt governments, institutions and defended Chris Krebs when Trump came after him. He's a centrist who is offering solutions to problems from the middle. He's got a bold centrist view and a political affiliation that make his visit to this show timely, important and unique. And he shares his vision for the future, why he's an independent, what he thinks of Democrat Eric Adams running as an independent, what he'll do on crime, prices, immigration, Trump and more. It's the first conversation for 2025 in our annual “Meet The Independent Candidates” series. And it's one you don't want to miss. From open primaries to the city's regulation of helicopter traffic after a terrible recent crash, it's a candid and serious conversation with a candidate that deserves more attention. Because Jim Walden is what a lot of people say they want their politicians to sound like. Reasonable, rational, centrist. But he's also new and inexperienced. And he's joining us to face some hard questions from the best independent show in America. It's a refreshing dose of independence and inspiration you probably need after all of the other crazy news of the last week. And we cover all of that too. Because if it's related to National Security and veterans, we've got you covered. From Hegseth and his growing crisis of confidence to Rubio abandoning his duty — and Ukraine, the hits keep coming.

A Texas adjuster gets an assignment for a simple hail damage claim. He anticipates having to argue with the roofing contractor, debate whether overhead and profit is owed, deal with the supplementing company, receive an appraisal demand, and finally face a lawsuit. About Our Guest Steven J. Badger, Partner, Zelle LLP sbadger@zellelaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-badger-467b0322/ Notable Timestamps [ 00:20 ] - Because of his years of experience, he knows that the 30 square comp shingle roof should cost about $20,000 to replace. (Amount provided is for reference and example purposes only.) [ 01:10 ] - For 34 years, Steve Badger has represented mostly the commercial property insurance industry, and for the past decade has focused on catastrophe, hail, and wind claims. [ 02:00 ] - Many policies allow the insurance company to replace the roof themselves through preferred contractors. [ 04:15 ] - Having an "preferred contract network" or "managed repair" endorsement can reduce ambiguity as compared to the base policy. [ 05:50 ] - Such endorsements could be optional or mandatory. [ 07:00 ] - Steve argues that these endorsements can be a win/win/win for the insurer, insured, and contractor. [ 08:20 ] - Steve explores the potential benefits of the endorsement, such as reduced deductibles. [ 09:15 ] - Invoking "our option" means that if-- for example-- the selected contractor floods the house, the insurer could be responsible. However, an endorsement in this style could allow the insured to choose to employ the network. Further, contractors in the network could assume the risk. [ 11:15 ] - Steve discusses industry interest in preventative solutions. [ 13:00 ] - Steve contrasts the contractor who put on the roof asking for a supplement to a separate company focused on supplementation, and shifts focus to the insured's needs. [ 16:10 ] - Steve provides a recap of the scenario and the points above. Your PLRB Resources Steve will be presenting at the Texas Hail Claims Conference on February 12-13, 2026 in Dallas.

At a tense court hearing, a federal judge raised concerns about the Trump Administration's use of an 18th century wartime act to deport Venezuelan migrants accused of being criminals, saying the President's expanded use of the Alien Enemies Act could have “frightening” implications. Then, this evening, the President told reporters he didn't even sign the proclamation himself, even though his signature is at the bottom of the document from the Federal Register. Plus, John King returns to battleground Wisconsin, where once again Democrats are worried about the black voter turnout. This time, in a race just days away. Learn more about your ad choices.

Joining him is Cody Carter, the #1 Car Salesman in the World, who shares his secrets to thriving in such volatile conditions! Cody provides invaluable insights into maintaining profit margins despite rising costs, the declining value of electric vehicles, and leveraging digital retailing for success. “I'm the #1 Car Salesman, but I'm still chasing that 200 car month” - Cody Carter This episode is packed with Cody's expert strategies to navigate a competitive market and offers a unique perspective on adapting sales tactics in response to external pressures such as tariffs and political changes. Sean and Cody discuss the significance of creative leasing options, the importance of working the service drive, and embracing modern CRM technologies like AI to optimize sales processes. With robust discussions on customer engagement and the necessity of understanding market trends, listeners will uncover new pathways to boost dealership performance and sales efficiency! Key Takeaways: ✅ Digital Retailing Mastery: Cody's success is partly attributed to his use of digital retailing, allowing customers to complete much of the purchasing process online, which leads to increased sales efficiency. ✅ Leveraging Alternate Lenders: By using multiple lenders and providing flexible leasing options, Cody maintains competitive pricing and attractive deals for customers. ✅ Service Drive Strategy: Unutilized service drive opportunities can yield high-value deals, a tactic that Cody suggests for increasing sales figures. ✅ Adapting to Market Trends: With changes in tariffs and the EV market, maintaining versatility in sales tactics and quickly adapting strategies is essential for ongoing success. ✅ AI and Technology: Implementing AI-driven conversational tools, like those offered by Podium, could significantly enhance lead management and sales processes. About Cody Carter Cody Carter is renowned for his remarkable achievements as the world's top car salesman. In 2024, Cody set a new benchmark by selling an impressive 1,432 units, surpassing his previous record of 1,408 units sold in 2023. Cody is celebrated for his innovative automotive sales strategies and his efficient use of digital retailing technologies. Based at Tustin Toyota in California, Cody oversees an extensive clientele, leveraging his expertise to continue outperforming industry standards. Mastering the Automotive Sales Landscape: Insights from Industry Titans Key Takeaways Market Adaptation: The automotive landscape in 2025 is evolving, demanding dealers and sales professionals to pivot with creative strategies and leverage incentives effectively. Digital Retailing: Harnessing digital retailing platforms and personalized websites can streamline operations and enhance customer experiences. Success Stories: Industry leaders like Cody Carter demonstrate that innovative approaches to sales and marketing can significantly boost performance and dealership output. The automotive industry in 2025 is encountering a turbulent landscape characterized by rapid changes in sales dynamics, electrification, and market incentives. In a compelling conversation with automotive experts Sean V. Bradley and Cody Carter, the secrets to navigating these challenges while capitalizing on opportunities become evident. Bradley, a pioneer in auto sales training, and Carter, the renowned "Millionaire Car Salesman," reveal how key sales strategies and digital tools can transform dealership performance. Adapting to the 2025 Automotive Market The year 2025 has brought with it substantial shifts in automotive sales strategies. "Man, it's rough out there in them streets," Sean V. Bradley articulates, summarizing the struggles faced by many in the industry. A predominant theme is the requirement for dealerships to adapt after several years of unprecedented sales volumes post-pandemic. With manufacturers reintroducing incentives and OEM spins, many dealers are driven to adjust their strategies quickly. "The pulse that I'm getting is that there's a lot of stress in 2025," highlights Bradley as he describes the current sales calendar. Dealerships are contending with factors like rising costs, which impact profit margins, and competing incentives that pressure sellers to discount inventory heavily. The transcript illustrates the importance of leveraging incentives creatively. As Carter explains, some domestics offer $7,000 to $8,000 in incentives, which could drive sales volume if strategically applied. "We try to get them into like right now we're doing 39-month leases… which allows me to potentially make the payment attractive and make more gross profit," Carter outlines. Implications for Sales Strategies This evolving landscape forces a rethink in sales approaches. Effective handling of tariffs and managing changing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles are crucial. Carter reveals how Toyota's diverse lineup allows for flexibility, indicating that understanding inventory dynamics can mitigate potential tariff impacts. There's a wider implication for sales teams to maintain competitive responses to shifting market conditions by fully understanding their product and financial levers. Leveraging Digital Retailing for Business Growth The automotive sector's digital transition has become a lifeline for sales professionals. Cody Carter's success epitomizes the power of digital retailing platforms. Despite market volatility, Carter confirms, "A lot of it contributed to some of these lenders. Ally, for example, they're giving me a thousand dollar rebate on every single car that you send to them." This system maximizes efficiency by allowing buyers to explore financing options directly from dealership websites. Digital platforms enable customers to visualize varied financing structures, effectively engage with leasing options, and make informed purchasing decisions. As displayed in the conversation, Carter's website personalizes customer interactions, saying, "The biggest thing with my site that's unique is I have multiple lenders for leasing loaded on there." Broader Impacts of Digital Tools Digital retailing is transforming the automotive landscape by increasing transparency and convenience for customers. As automotive commerce gravitates online, maintaining competitive pressures by ensuring platforms are user-friendly and integrative becomes essential. Success stories like Carter's highlight that embracing innovation not only improves customer satisfaction but significantly elevates business results, capturing market share despite an overcrowded digital space. Success in Automotive Sales: Unpacking Cody Carter's Strategies Cody Carter's remarkable achievements have set benchmarks across the industry. With 1,432 units sold last year, Cody's marketing mastery breaks conventional dealership molds. His pragmatic approach is encapsulated when he notes, "There's so much money to be made, and it's just left laying there." By focusing on untapped potential, specifically within service departments, Cody continually drives profitability. A pivotal element of Cody's approach is his use of lease options. Acknowledging current resale value downturns, particularly with EVs, Carter advocates leasing as an effective strategy—a sentiment reinforced with his statement: "Lease it today, capture the rebate on the first payment, buy it out and then you save money." Lessons for Aspiring Sales Professionals Carter's success reveals vital lessons for budding sales professionals. His proactive client relations and meticulous understanding of market dynamics reflect the need for personalized customer experiences. By integrating digital tools and leveraging creative financing solutions, dealerships can offer exceptional customer journeys, leading to higher sales volumes and customer loyalty. The revelations shared in this insightful discussion between Bradley and Carter underscore a broader message: mastering the complexities of the automotive industry in 2025 is achievable.

In late 1944 when it was clear the war in the Pacific was lost, the Imperial Japanese Navy employed a frightening tactic to attack the US Navy: suicide attacks. Invoking the "divine wind" that twice turned back marauding Mongrols, such attacks were called kamikaze.On this episode, New York City-based author Gary Santos explains the scourge of kamikaze attacks during World War ll, including an attack on the USS Randolph--the aircraft carrier his father Eugene served on. Gary explains the mindset and techniques used by Japanese pilots to commit aerial hari-kari.Check out Gary's book, A Grand Pause chronicling a single day in 1945 between battling U.S. and Japanese navies here.For financial planning questions or assistance, contact Zach Mindel at zmindel@forumfinancial.com, (630) 474-3599, or visit https://www.forumfinancial.com/profile/zachary-mindel/Zach Mindel is a Financial Advisor with Forum Financial Management, a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
