The speech begins with claims about prescription-drug pricing, child investment accounts, border enforcement, crime, the military, energy production, and Iran. It then shifts to the speaker's central announcement: the declassification and release of intelligence concerning vulnerabilities in U.S. elections. Amanda largely allows the speech to play without interruption, stepping in only for brief reactions and a microphone problem. The episode is therefore structured around the prerecorded address followed by an extended live interpretation. Claims of Foreign Interference and Election-System Vulnerabilities The prerecorded speech alleges that China acquired sensitive American voter information and that intelligence officials suppressed reporting about Chinese election activity. It also describes purported concerns involving centralized voter databases, electronic voting systems, foreign cyber capabilities, Venezuela, voter-registration activity in Michigan, and noncitizens appearing on voter rolls. The speaker calls for investigations, possible criminal charges, state notifications, technical repairs before the midterm elections, voter identification, proof of citizenship, and passage of legislation called the SAVE America Act. These statements are preserved as claims made in the recording and are not presented in the transcript or summary as independently established facts. Several figures, quotations, and phrases remain subject to verification because of the automated transcription quality. A Live Reaction Focused on Exposure and Accountability After the address, Amanda Grace characterizes the announcement as a political and institutional turning point. She interprets the declassification as the exposure of a hidden network involving foreign actors, government officials, intelligence agencies, political figures, and media institutions. She repeatedly describes the moment as the dropping of a gauntlet and a line being drawn before the nation. Her commentary emphasizes Michigan, the coming midterm elections, possible congressional upheaval, and her belief that criminal investigations will follow. She urges listeners to view the period from July through September as unusually consequential and potentially dangerous. Prophetic Readings, Historical Parallels, and Symbolic Timing Amanda connects the speech to prophetic words she says she delivered in 2025 and 2026 concerning Michigan, political parties, hidden agreements, documents buried in bureaucracy, media networks, and a wider season of uncovering. She also reads a lengthy passage attributed to John F. Kennedy and compares its warnings about secrecy and national danger to the tone of the prerecorded address. The discussion incorporates America's 250th year, the anniversary of JFK Jr.'s death, Rosh Hashanah, Purim, biblical numbers, the 1979 Iranian Revolution, and other symbolic timing. She describes storms, exposed root systems, infections being drained, and cornered animals as metaphors for political and spiritual conflict. All of these interpretations remain clearly attributed to Amanda as her prophetic and spiritual analysis. Intercession for Leaders and Protection Against Harm A substantial portion of the program is devoted to warning that national leaders and members of the administration may face danger after the release of the documents. Amanda calls for prayer for President Trump, his family, the cabinet, and people affected by serious flooding in Kerr County, Texas. She leads an extended Christian prayer invoking Jesus Christ, biblical protection, spiritual discernment, angelic guardianship, wisdom, and the defeat of plots, ambushes, and destructive plans. The prayer also asks that national crises be prevented and that believers understand what Amanda describes as spiritual warfare. The language is preserved as religious prayer and belief expressed by the host. Watchfulness, Scripture, and a Faith-Centered Closing Following the prayer, Amanda encourages listeners to remain vigilant, discerning, and grounded in Christian scripture. She references Gideon, James 4:7, Ephesians 6, Psalm 91, Ephesians 1 and 3, and the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 as resources for spiritual preparation. A brief sponsor message promotes precious-metals services and a Cyrus-themed coin, although the spoken phone number is incomplete in the transcript. The broadcast closes with a call to make following Jesus Christ a daily lifestyle rather than a Sunday-only practice. Amanda thanks the audience and team, says that additional short-form content and future live-broadcast information will be announced, and ends with the words, 'Keep the faith.'

SCHEDULE FOR THE JBS, 7-9-2026.1930  BRAZIL ARGENTINA WORLD CUP.Anatol Lieven discusses the impact of the Ukraine war on Russian consumers and potential peace terms. He suggests Russia might settle if it abandons Donbass demands, provided the West bars Ukrainian NATOmembership. Currently, the Russian military is advancing slowly while enduring huge casualties and economic suffering. (1)ZAnatol Lieven explores a potential peace compromise and the risks of escalation. He notes that while Ukraine can make Russia suffer via drone strikes on energy infrastructure, aerial bombardment alone will not force a surrender. A single miscalculation could lead to a direct clash between Russia and NATO. (2) Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports on the earthquake tragedy in Venezuela and the incompetence of the Rodriguezregime. She details how officials like Diosdado Cabello hinder rescue efforts to hide illicit activities. Meanwhile, the opposition leader María Corina Machado is being blocked from returning to the country. (3) Mariam Wahba reports on the brutal persecution of Christians under the Chinese Communist Party's"sinicization" policy. This effort involves rewriting the Bible and mandating state-sanctioned clergy to ensure religion serves the state. Despite this, the underground church continues to grow, posing a challenge to CCPauthority. (4) Josh Dean introduces Kelly Johnson, the brilliant engineer behind the P-38 fighter. Born to hardworking Swedishparents, Johnson overcame poverty to become a legend in aviation. His industrious nature and early mastery of aeronautics led him to Lockheed, where he would transform the industry during WWII. (5) Josh Dean describes the early days of the Lockheed Corporation and the birth of Skunk Works. After saving the company by fixing the Electra, Kelly Johnson promised a jet fighter in just six months. Operating out of a circus tent, his team produced the P-80 in 143 days. (6) Josh Dean explains the Skunk Works method through the development of the F-104 Starfighter. Johnsondemanded total control and minimal oversight from the Air Force, focusing on speed and climb. His test pilots, including Tony LeVier, formed an intimate, trusted team that operated like "cowboys". (7) Josh Dean details the CIA-led U-2 program, designed for high-altitude reconnaissance over the Soviet Union. To achieve 70,000 feet, Johnson created a lightweight glider-like plane. This required the invention of specialized pressure suits for pilots, providing nearly 75% of intelligence gathered during the Cold War. (8) Josh Dean explores the Area 51 mysteries and the Gary Powers incident. Many UFO sightings were actually spy planes like the U-2, tested in secret. Despite the shootdown of Powers in 1960, Johnson had already begun developing the Mach 3.2 Blackbird to maintain an intelligence advantage. (9) Josh Dean recounts Kelly Johnson's creation of the world's first drone for reconnaissance and his failed pitch for an A-12 bomber. He clashed with Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, who ordered the destruction of A-12tools. The segment also highlights Johnson's personal life on his California ranch. (10) Josh Dean highlights Kelly Johnson's struggle with anxiety and health, alongside the emergence of stealth technology. Under his successor Ben Rich, Skunk Works developed the F-117 Nighthawk. Utilizing facets to scatter radar, this "hopeless diamond" proved that an invisible plane was mathematically possible. (11) Josh Dean summarizes Kelly Johnson's 14 rules, emphasizing simplicity and speed. These principles required small teams and minimal paperwork to innovate effectively. Before passing away in 1990, Johnson witnessed a final emotional flyover of his iconic Blackbird, marking the end of a legendary aviation era. (12) Thomas Savage warns that the US national debt is reaching dangerous levels relative to GDP. He explains that rising interest costs are now exceeding national defense spending, which threatens to stifle the productive economy and lead to a decreased standard of living for the average American taxpayer. (13) Thomas Savage argues for stringent budget reforms and spending cuts to address the fiscal crisis. He notes that while many elected officials recognize the problem, the priority of political reelection prevents them from making unpopular decisions, leaving the country in a cycle of unsustainable federal spending. (14) Cliff May explores the historical link between socialism and Islamism, tracing partnerships from early Bolsheviksto the Iranian Revolution. These alliances often end in violence and purges of leftists, as seen when Ayatollah Khomeini executed communist leaders. He warns that these ideologies generally favor oppressive one-party states. (15) Veronique de Rugy uses a 700-year-old Siena fresco to discuss the virtues of good governance. The artwork illustrates that a flourishing society requires the rule of law and justice. She cautions that modern industrial policies and government cronyism represent the same arbitrary governance the fresco warns against. (16) Note: the source had mid-sentence phrases bolded; I've stripped those and kept bolding to proper nouns per house style. Also corrected Tony LeVier (capital V).

Join the Leaving Egypt community on Substack: leavingegyptpodcast.substack.comIn this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair speak with Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqani. As a bishop in the Church of England, she knows its challenges, both internal and external. She is sensitive not only to its wrestling with decline, but also with the need to reorient itself in a time when both society and the churches confront crisis on multiple levels. Her life has prepared her well for this moment. Experiences of disruption as a refugee have given her a deep confidence that God is both present and actively working, even as familiar structures undergo change, even as communities fragment. With realism and quiet courage, she embodies the struggle of a faithful pilgrim finding ways to “leave Egypt” within the confines of institutional life. Resisting the rush toward strategies and programmatic fixes, she prefers prayerful listening rather than seeking safety in control. In the midst of uncertainty she delights in grassroots relationships, encouraging others to discern the movement of the Spirit and to discover what kind of church God is forming in this time of crisis.Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqani is the Bishop of Chelmsford in the southeast of England, UK. She is the lead Bishop for Housing for the Church of England, a member of the Lords Spiritual in the House of Lords, and is currently Chair of the Board of the Church Army. Born in Iran, daughter of Hassan Dehqani-Tafti, the Anglican Bishop in Iran, and Margaret, daughter of William Thompson, Guli and her family left the country in the wake of the Iranian Revolution in 1980 when she was 13 years old, and to date she has been unable to return.LINKSFor Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqanihttps://www.chelmsford.anglican.org/about-us/the-bishop-of-chelmsford/Bishop Guli's address at Great St Mary's in Cambridge, 16th Sept 2024Books· Listening to the Music of the Soul, 18 September 2025· Stations of the Resurrection, Encounters with the Risen Christ, written with Malcolm Guite· Cries for a Lost Homeland: Reflections on Jesus' sayings from the cross· Reflections for Lent 2021: 17 February - 3 April 2021For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooks:Forming Communities of Hope in the Great Unravelling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Joining God in the Great UnravellingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:Substack: https://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairWebsite: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ This is a public episode.

Our star return guest, FDD Senior Fellow, Jonathan Conricus, has just returned to Israel from a three-week speaking tour in Canada. And he has a lot to say. About many things. We focus in this podcast on the continued volatility in the Middle East, with the MoU negotiations between Iran and America in Switzerland overshadowing everything. As President Trump “joked” when assigning VP Vance to the thankless task, if he is successful (however that is measured) then Trump will take credit… and if he fails, well, he'll get the blame. The MoU parameters seem to have been slapped together in quite a hurry, more in order to push oil prices down and allow a happy celebration of the 250th 4th of July, a truly momentous occasion. But the spectacle of America denigrating its most reliable ally in the the Middle East (and possibly the world) - Israel - while presenting Islamist, terror supporting governments - notably Pakistan and Qatar - as the “reasonable” players, should give everyone pause. Trump even went so far as to speak of Hamas as being “good guys” and the new/not new Iranian regime as being “very reasonable.” Conricus and I discuss the optics and the facts and I don't want to spoil the ending but neither one of us is overly optimistic regarding the outcome of these negotiations. He also shares his view of what's going on in Canada, these days a country with a very pro-Islamist and deeply antisemitic and anti-Israel government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney. Conricus returned quite disheartened by what he saw and heard while in Canada. Now he understands much more intimately that I'm not exaggerating when I report, with great sadness and reluctance, on the radical transformation of my home and native land. (I'm sure those words - taken from the version of the national anthem I grew up on - have been replaced by some unintelligible DEI version. Too bad.)We've included some really fantastic video segments in this podcast - going back to the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis. Remember those daily broadcasts by the extreme students holding American diplomats hostage? Well, we've got that and much more: Hezballah attack tunnels in southern Lebanon; J.D. Vance slamming Israel; and more.

Human beings have always loved to gamble. Archeological records suggest we've been doing it for the last 12,000 years, since the end of the last Ice Age. But for as long as we've been playing games of chance, we've worried about what they might be doing to us. For thousands of years, everyone from Aristotle to George Washington condemned gambling, an ancient anxiety that ran so deep it became something like a moral consensus. And then that consensus evaporated. In the span of a decade, both Canada and the US legalized sports betting. Now anyone with a smartphone and a credit card can wager on basketball, hockey, or American cornhole. But it turned out that was just the beginning. A few years later came “prediction markets” like Kalshi and Polymarket that let you bet on, well, just about anything: whether the US will invade Cuba, the odds of James Comey being sent to prison, and whether Jesus Christ will return before 2027. That last one, by the way, is currently sitting at 3 per cent on Polymarket. If betting on missile strikes, military coups, and political prosecutions feels kind of gross, I'm with you. But James Surowiecki thinks we should give prediction markets a chance. Surowiecki is the author of The Wisdom of Crowds, a book he wrote more than 20 years ago, where he argued that large groups of ordinary people are actually better than experts at making predictions. It's become something of a foundational text for these markets: the idea that they can crowdsource knowledge, aggregate what millions of people believe about the future, and use that signal to make better decisions. So I wanted to have James on to make the case for prediction markets, and to see if he could make me feel just a little less squeamish about a world where you can gamble on everything.

In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Dr. Michael Youssef, author of An Unholy Alliance: How Progressivism Brought About an Islamist Invasion. The Egyptian-born pastor, PhD cultural anthropologist, and author of over 50 books exposes the dangerous Red-Green Alliance between progressivism and Islamism, explaining why climate activists wear Hamas symbols, how "Queers for Palestine" became a movement, and why feminists defend anti-feminist regimes. Dr. Youssef, who has warned the West about political Islam since 1982, shares powerful insights on Sharia creep, no-go zones, the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Epic City in Texas, and the Rotherham grooming scandals. A must-watch discussion on the unholy alliance threatening Western civilization and Dr. Youssef’s hopeful call for Gospel proclamation, prayer, and a new Great Awakening.

In 1971, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi threw a party to celebrate the 2,500-year anniversary of the Persian Empire. It was planned to be a massive party, with tents set up in the desert, and invitations sent to just about every world leader across both the Western and Soviet blocs. Robert Templer writes about this celebration–and how it presaged the events of the Iranian Revolution of 1979–in his new book The Shah's Party: And the Iranian Revolution That Followed (Hurst, 2026). Robert Templer is a writer and former professor at the Central European University, where he also founded a research centre on post-conflict recovery. From 2011-2012, he was director of the Asia Programme at the International Crisis Group and has visited Iran on many occasions. He is the author of four books including the acclaimed Shadows and Wind: A View of Modern Vietnam and A Basilisk Glance: Poisoners from Plato to Putin. Learn more about your ad choices.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 10, 2026. We open with a deep dive into the Iran negotiations — and the fundamental question that no amount of dealmaking experience can easily solve. President Trump is the greatest negotiator of his generation, but every negotiation assumes both parties want a mutually beneficial outcome. The Iranian regime wakes up every morning chanting death to America and death to Israel. Where is the common ground with people who want you dead? We trace the Iranian Revolution back to its founding act — not signing a constitution, not declaring independence, but taking Americans hostage — and explain why a regime defined by its opposition to America may never be capable of the kind of deal Trump has made in every other negotiation of his life. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire again this week following Iran's shooting down of an American Apache helicopter — the U.S. launched fighter jet strikes on Iranian air defenses, Iran fired missiles at U.S. bases in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, and the U.S. launched a second wave of strikes Wednesday evening. President Trump said Iran was taking too long and would now have to pay the price. Then Democrats in Maine voted overwhelmingly to nominate Graham Plattner — the man with the SS tattoo, the predator website, and the endorsements of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — as their Senate candidate against Susan Collins. And Carmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison — a jury that took just three hours to convict and another three hours to sentence, while protesters outside claimed the verdict was racist despite multiple Black teammates of Metcalf testifying that Anthony committed the crime. We dig into the aftermath of the Anthony verdict — specifically a petition circulating on Change.org calling for the arrest of Austin Metcalf's surviving twin brother Hunter, claiming his alleged behavior contributed to the murder. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to the mother outside the courthouse who asked what she should tell her five sons after the verdict. The answer, says Teri, is simple — don't stab people. We also discuss the race-baiting that surrounded the trial from the beginning, the GoFundMe that raised millions for Anthony's defense, the impact statements from the Metcalf family in the courtroom, and why Carmelo Anthony's parents walked out rather than listen to Austin Metcalf's father speak. We also cover President Trump bringing the workers who restored the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into the Oval Office — giving them presidential challenge coins and publicly honoring the people who actually did the work rather than the politicians who show up for the gold-plated shovel photo op. We call it exactly what it is — a reminder that America was built by people in tool belts, not people at podiums. In our Digging Deep segment, a new Signal poll heading into the midterms shows that swing voters — the ones who actually decide elections — believe Democrats are more focused on hating Donald Trump than solving problems by a margin of 23 points. We also note that only 58% of Americans say they are extremely or very proud to be American, including only 28% of voters under 30, and that 30% of Democrats say they are not at all proud of their country. We make the case that if you can't tell the American people what you love about this country or offer them solutions that have actually worked somewhere on earth, running on hatred of one man is not a winning message. We also weigh in on Graham Plattner's victory speech — in which he said it was his job to earn the trust of disappointed voters. We point out that trust is not the starting point. Vision is. And we ask the question JFK would have asked — what can you do for your country — and wonder how well his 1961 inaugural address would play at a 2026 Democrat rally. For our Bright Spot, the World Cup kicks off Thursday in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and European fans traveling across America to follow their teams are going viral for the most American reasons imaginable. A German man driving from Georgia through Mississippi to Texas ate Waffle House at 1 a.m., stopped at Buc-ee's, and attended a practice match at Auburn Stadium where he posted that his European mind could not comprehend what he was seeing. A Swedish woman who flew into Indianapolis posted from a flight over Colorado that she had faster Wi-Fi than at home and that the United States had completely radicalized her within 48 hours. We call it what it is — the American dream, visible to everyone who arrives here with open eyes. And we close with the Chicago Bears officially heading to Hammond, Indiana — after Governor Pritzker couldn't offer them what they needed. They weren't asking for a bailout. They were willing to invest $2 billion of their own money. All they wanted was tax stability. A government that has no stability itself cannot give stability to anyone else. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

In memory of the recently passed Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026), re-airring our chat about Persepolis from July 2024). Rest In Peace/Power.https://www.npr.org/2026/06/04/nx-s1-5846531/marjane-satrapi-obituary“The normalization of things being taken away. You see all the things going on in Tehran in 1979 — you see them here as well, which makes it a sad, scary, and timeless tale.”PERSEPOLIS, by Marjane Satrapi is an award winning, now banned graphic autobiography from the early 2000s about a young girl growing up in Iran, and becoming a woman overseas, returning home, and dealing with everything in between.Originally published in French, Persepolis has sold millions of copies worldwide, and Satrapi also produced an award-winning film of the same name. In Persepolis, we meet young Marjane “Marji” Satrapi growing up in Tehran just before and during the Iranian Revolution of 1979, as well as thru the start of the Iran + Iraq War in the 1980s. Her parents are secular, upper-middle class activists, who worry for their precocious daughter's safety in the increasingly conservative and dangerous Iran, so send her off to Austria to become a teenager. Her teen years are fraught with all the drama you can expect from such an experience, but Marji - now becoming a young woman - always maintains the experience of an outsider looking in - with her feet in both worlds. Marji eventually returns to Iran to find that not only has her mother country changed, but she as well. This book was a surprise and illuminating for us in many ways, making us question - what would WE do in such a situation? This conversation is originally from from Quarantined Comics, where Raman + friends read comics that are so much more than just superheroes. PERSEPOLIS is a very Modern Minorities appropriate work, especially for the times we're living in, which you'll get to here us reflect on. Longtime friend of THAT pod Joshua joins from his most excellent podcast RABBIT FIGHTERS, where they pretty much do the same thing, but about movies and music. 

Iran is, once again, in global headlines, following U.S. strikes on the country earlier this year. Operation Epic Fury, as the Department of Defense called it, is the latest twist in Iran's modern history, starting from the coup that brought the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to power, through the 1956 coup against Mossadegh and the 1979 Iranian Revolution, to the present day's tensions over Iran's nuclear program. Homa Katouzian looks at this history in his latest book Iran and the Revolution: A History (Yale University Press, 2026), where he posits that Iran is a “short-term society,” one that lacks long-term continuity. We recorded this interview on May 18th, 2026. Homa is a member of the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Oxford, and a visiting scholar at the Department of History, University of Toronto. He is the author of numerous books, including Iran: Politics, History and Literature (Routledge: 2012), Iran: A Beginners' Guide (Oneworld Publications: 2013), and The Persians (Yale University Press: 2009).

Homa Katouzian looks at this history in his latest book Iran and the Revolution: A History (Yale University Press, 2026), where he posits that Iran is a “short-term society,” one that lacks long-term continuity. We recorded this interview on May 18th, 2026. Homa is a member of the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Oxford, and a visiting scholar at the Department of History, University of Toronto. He is the author of numerous books, including Iran: Politics, History and Literature (Routledge: 2012), Iran: A Beginners' Guide (Oneworld Publications: 2013), and The Persians (Yale University Press: 2009).

Send us Fan MailToday we are rereleasing our episode on Persepolis to commemorate the life of Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Iranian-French writer, artist, filmmaker, and human rights advocate whose work transformed personal memory into a powerful act of witness. Satrapi died on June 4, 2026, at the age of 56, leaving behind a body of work that helped readers around the world better understand Iran, exile, identity, and the enduring importance of freedom.Born in Iran in 1969, Satrapi rose to international prominence with Persepolis, her groundbreaking graphic memoir about growing up during the Iranian Revolution and its aftermath. Told through stark black-and-white illustrations and an unforgettable narrative voice, Persepolis brought history to life through the eyes of a child and later a young woman navigating political upheaval, cultural displacement, and the search for self. The book became a global bestseller and was later adapted into an award-winning animated film that Satrapi co-directed.Throughout her career, Satrapi remained a fearless advocate for artistic expression, women's rights, and democratic values. "The real issue for me is human rights, it's the freedom of expression," Satrapi said in an interview. Satrapi's final book, Woman, Life, Freedom (2024) continued her life's work of amplifying issues and voices others wished to silence. Her family attributed her death to sadness over the loss of her husband a year prior.

His family lost everything—their home, savings, and even his Star Wars toys were confiscated. By 13, he was fleeing across Europe, eventually finding asylum in the U.S. thanks to policy changes under the Reagan administration. The Immigrant's Fire: Why Hunger Beats Talent Bernard shares how working in pizza shops to pay for college while never attending a single basketball game or spring break fueled his relentless drive. His biggest fear? That his own children would have to experience the same survival mode he did. A Forgotten Iran: When Faith United, Not Divided Before the revolution, Iran was a secular, democratic society where Christians, Muslims, and Jewish Persians celebrated each other's holidays. Bernard recalls watching the Israeli national soccer team play in Tehran—proof that the region once thrived on coexistence. The Music That Saved Him (And the Record Exec Who Said No) Music was therapy for Bernard. He taught himself guitar on a left-handed Fender, wrote 22 songs, and almost got signed by Polygram—until an A&R guy told him, “I can't sell this face to the MTV generation.” Instead of giving up, he kept playing on weekends for decades. Breaking My Allegiance: A Song Against Weaponized Faith Bernard's first official single, releasing this Friday, is a rock anthem born from his experience with the Iranian regime. It's not against faith—it's against using religion to justify oppression. The song's message: *“If that's what your religion is, I'm breaking my allegiance.”* The Immigrant's Oath: Integrate, Follow Rules, Be Grateful Bernard offers a powerful perspective on immigration: he never hid his roots, but he worked tirelessly to learn English, pay taxes, and contribute. His advice to new immigrants? “If you want to chase a better life, respect what this country has to offer.” Show Notes 2:35

As tensions continue to rise during the Iran War ceasefire, is true peace possible? In this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones examine the ongoing conflict with Iran and address this critical question shaping the future of the Middle East. Together, they discuss the latest developments surrounding Iran, Israel's security concerns, shifting alliances in the Middle East, and the growing international pressure for peace. Could the current conflict pave the way for greater instability—or set the stage for a temporary peace foretold in the Bible? What should Christians understand about these unfolding events, and how can believers stand with Israel during such a pivotal time?Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

Veteran war correspondent and Kirkus Prize winner Scott Anderson joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and Jennifer Maritza McCauley to discuss his new nonfiction book King of Kings, a history of the Iranian Revolution. Anderson examines how rapid modernization, inequality, and U.S. influence destabilized Iran, and traces the rise of Ruhollah Khomeini from exiled cleric to revolutionary leader. The conversation explores key mistakes by the Shah, the failures of U.S. intelligence, and how the revolution unfolded in unpredictable ways. Anderson also connects this history to present-day tensions, discussing Iran's current power structure under Ali Khamenei and the global rise of religious nationalism. Finally, the hosts consider parallels between the Shah's rule and contemporary political leadership, as well as the limits of American military strategy in the region. Anderson reads from King of Kings. To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Nader Hashemi, Director of the Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, reflects on how his experience of the 1979 Iranian Revolution shaped a lifelong inquiry into the fraught relationship between religion, secularism, and democracy. Hashemi situates his intellectual trajectory within the tension between a Western secular framework—often equated with progress—and its very different reception across the Middle East, where it has frequently been associated with authoritarianism and externally backed regimes. He challenges dominant Western narratives about Iran and the region, arguing that media and policy discourses systematically erase the historical context of colonial intervention, coups, and geopolitical interests that continue to structure contemporary conflicts. From the Green Movement of 2009 to the Women, Life, Freedom protests, Hashemi examines the internal struggle for democratic reform under conditions of repression, economic sanctions, and external pressure, emphasizing how these forces have eroded the social base necessary for sustained change. Extending the discussion to Gaza, Israel-Palestine, and broader regional dynamics, he highlights the stark double standards in Western foreign policy and the persistence of imperial logics beneath the language of human rights. Yet, amid this, Hashemi points to a generational shift: younger audiences, shaped by social media and alternative information flows, are increasingly able to challenge entrenched narratives and recognize the contradictions at the heart of the so-called rules-based order.

In this episode of The Missions Show, Alex and Scott sit down with Dr. Daniel Shayesteh. Dr. Shayesteh shares his powerful journey from a radical Muslim involved in the Iranian Revolution to a follower of Christ. Raised in a devout Islamic context that viewed Christianity as corrupt, he rose to prominence as a religious figure and political activist under Ayatollah Khomeini. But after witnessing deception and oppression, he became disillusioned, was imprisoned, and narrowly escaped execution before fleeing Iran. In Turkey, Shayesteh's academic studies and unexpected encounters with Christians began to reshape his worldview. Drawn initially by practical needs, he encountered the love, freedom, and relational nature of God in Christianity, ultimately leading to his conversion. His story highlights the transforming power of the gospel and challenges believers to engage Muslims with truth and compassion. Dr. Daniel Shayesteh leads the ministry Exodus From Darkness. Key Topics: Background in Islam and role in the Iranian Revolution Disillusionment with Khomeini's regime Escape from Iran and life in Turkey Comparative study of religions Encounters with Christians and conversion Missions implications for reaching Muslims We recently made some upgrades to our studio and we needed a table that didn't just look good on camera, but could handle the demands of a production studio.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks to journalist Jason Burke about his new book The Revolutionists: The Story of the Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s. Jason explains: Why the origins of modern terrorism lie earlier than the Afghan jihad of the 1980s The global revolutionary ferment of the 1960s and 70s Why early terrorist attacks were often designed to attract attention rather than cause mass casualties The role of Palestinian militant groups in pioneering modern tactics like hijacking Connections between European radicals, Japanese militants, and Middle Eastern groups How states adapted to terrorism through new counterterrorism measures The shift from theatrical violence to mass-casualty and suicide attacks The relationship between secular revolutionary movements and later Islamist militancy The Iranian Revolution as a turning point in the evolution of political violence Why many common narratives about the origins of jihadism are incomplete Find Jason on X: https://x.com/burke_jason Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm Find Conflicted on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod And YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sdlF1mY5t4 Learn more about your ad choices.

Keith explores how major geopolitical conflicts tend to reshape—not destroy—real estate markets, redirecting demand away from active war zones and toward safer, more stable regions. He explains how inflation, interest rates, and supply disruptions interact with property values over time, and why certain locations and asset types are more resilient than others. Investor and CEO Dani‑Lynn Robison, joins the conversation, to talk about building long-term wealth through "needs-based" real estate and the idea of a personal "wealth window" — the finite period when combining active income with compounding can have the biggest impact. They discuss the shift many investors make from being hands-on operators to more passive capital allocators, and why calm, long-term strategies focused on essential housing and services can help investors navigate uncertainty and technological change without panic.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  2:07   Welcome to GRE from Canterbury, England to Sunbury, Pennsylvania and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and you're listening to get rich education. How does war affect real estate? The war with Iran that began one month ago has really brought this to light. Now, a lot of armchair analysts and even some people with experience, they succumb to folly by having an emotionally driven hunch, as we like to say here at GRE take history over hunches. First look at what's actually happened historically, and at least let that inform the hunch Oh, and now you've brought pragmatism to the question of what happens to real estate in wartime. Now the latest war in the Middle East happened at a time where the existing picture is that US residential real estate prices are stable. Values are not rising or falling very much, and it's been rather slow overall and historically low transaction volume, fewer sellers and fewer buyers, and mortgage rates are near historic norms. I'll get back to us real estate shortly. But as you might imagine, real estate values that are actually in direct war zones, they get pummeled. So we're talking about many parts of the Middle East at this time in history, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, the UAE. In fact, values in the war zones collapse fast when there's physical danger. Properties can be damaged or totally leveled. Insurance becomes unavailable or meaningless, buyers disappear, liquidity dries up. The result is that prices fall hard, sometimes to near zero in active conflict zones. And that completely makes sense. I mean, would you want to make an offer to buy a property in an active war zone, I wouldn't now in safe regions that are adjacent to the war zone. Oh, the opposite has happened historically. Values surge because you've got refugees and migrants that flood into those nearby safer cities. Rental demand spikes immediately, and vacancy collapses. So in these adjacent safe areas, rents jump first, and then prices follow. In fact, when Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2022 this is exactly what happened across Eastern Europe. Cities like Warsaw Poland saw rent Spike. Almost overnight. All right, historically, what has war done to interest rates and inflation, like I alluded to last week, I think you already know that they both rise during wartime, and they sure are Now historically, war triggers energy shocks like oil and gas, and during this war, the energy shocks are greater than usual due to the Middle East being oil rich, war trigger supply chain disruptions and government spending surges. It's been well documented that the US has been spending one to $2 billion every single day on the war with Iran, and this is what can lead to that higher inflation and higher interest rates. And here's the tension for real estate, higher mortgage rates often put downward pressure on real estate prices, but yet inflation puts upward pressure on housing and all types of real assets. So the result there is this short term tug of war longer term, the real estate wins in inflation because it's a hard asset with debt attached. But back to the direct war zones, construction slows and supply tightens, and that's because war disrupts the very availability of labor and materials like steel and fuel and shipping developer confidence goes down the tubes too, and the result is that fewer homes get built, and then existing inventory becomes more valuable after the war, and this is The underappreciated force. Less supply later means higher prices later. Now let's talk outside the war zone. And before I do you know, gosh, it's amazing, whenever the US is involved in a war, it's almost never on American soil that's us hegemony and geography at work. There stuff's always getting blown up on the other side of the world. Rarely where I live in America, but here at home, military and government hubs can boom during war because the war spending is not spread out evenly. Defense contractors expand military bases, scale up logistics hubs get busier with that stuff. In mind, you can think then about which us locations can really boom with economic activity during wartime, as sad as it is for the active combatants and casualties, so the result is for the US to have localized housing boom, something that's often overlooked, but it's very real. And the big takeaway, and this is what most people miss, is that war does not crash real estate. It reroutes demand in destruction zones, there's collapse in safe, stable areas, like certain us regions, there's often a surge and on a national level in the US now, the result is mixed and resilient. And over time, inflation plus constrained supply plus population shifts tend to push values higher in the surviving markets. That is history over hunches. So then a better question than, how do wars affect real estate is instead, where does demand go next? That's a great question. Now, when you think about US military and defense corridors that benefit that's places like Tampa, Huntsville, Alabama, Norfolk, Virginia, and say, San Diego, because historically, defense budgets expand. Contractors hire aggressively and military personnel increases if higher mortgage rates persist and it keeps housing affordability strained, the winners tend to be lower cost resilient markets, places like Cleveland, Memphis and Kansas City. When the war with Iran began, 30 year mortgage rates were 5.98% and then they quickly shot up to about six and a half. They are still lower today than they were a year ago, even during geopolitical chaos, domestic migration really doesn't stop. People will keep piling into boring Sunbelt suburbs in Florida, Texas and Arizona. Now, if war causes domestic travel to drop in the US, and that's an if what happens historically is that short term rentals and hospitality driven real estate can get hurt. Think places like Las Vegas and Orlando. Now, let me have a word with you on interest rates. For a couple years now, people have talked with certainty about how mortgage rates and interest rates have all turned. Types are gonna go down like they've just gotta go down like it's a foregone conclusion or something. And as you know, all this time, I have been resolute in conveying the fact that you cannot predict interest rates with any certainty, and trying to spend time doing so is a fantastic way to waste your time, and sure enough, with a new war, rates rose, they didn't fall. I will forecast home prices, but no one can predict rates. Today, the Fed talks about increasing the rate more than cutting the rate. Now, inflation has been in this small range between two and a half and 3% for almost the year now, inflation has been above the Fed's 2% target. Do you realize this every single month for more than five years now, floating high for more than 60 months in a row before I discuss what Ward does to the rate of inflation.   Keith Weinhold  11:06   let me share something kind of humorous with you. My height of five feet, 11 inches. This is the most honest height that a man can be. Here. I am 511 I weigh 174 every other man of my height rounds up and says they're six feet tall. I'm telling you, heightflation among men is every bit as rampant as price inflation among consumers, but you don't have any choice in the price inflation, so History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes. Back in the 1970s America experienced what some people call this famous double hump inflation, because in 1974 It peaked at over 12% and then just about five years later, you had another peak of almost 15% inflation and that ran into the beginning of 1980 back in the 70s, those inflation homes were caused by an oil embargo, Nixon, severing the dollar from gold and the Iranian Revolution. Yes, Iran back then too. All right, well, here in more modern times, could we experience a double hump again? Because we had the covid inflation wave that peaked in 2022 and next, could we have another inflation wave five or six years later, just like the 70s? Did you probably already know the story back then, that's when inflation only got crushed. How did we deal with it? Then when Fed Chair Paul Volcker ruthlessly jacked the Fed funds rate to near 20% and that made mortgage rates blast past 18% in 1981 yeah, that all makes today's mortgage rates sound rather adorable, doesn't it? The war with Iran, it is already the biggest oil supply disruption in history, more than double the previous record in the 1950s This is not a small deal. There's a real potential for inflation to spike higher. The oil supply shocks things, because oil is the master ingredient of the global economy. Even if the war winds down, it takes time for things to get back online, but really, the way to think of oil is the master ingredient, that's the way to think of it, the master ingredient. I mean, it's embedded in nearly everything except your morning coffee, plastics, chemicals, fertilizers, transportation. So like an economic octopus, oils. Tentacles extend everywhere. For example, higher fertilizer costs now mean higher food prices later and yep, eventually even your morning coffee, although the US does not rely directly on the Strait of Hormuz for oil, those prices are set on the global market. I myself sailed through the Strait of Hormuz in 2020 and it didn't feel so perilous to me then I was on a cruise ship. But in wartime, you don't want to be on an oil tanker. Why not? Well, it's just the slowest moving vehicle on Earth, packed with the most flammable liquid on earth through the most active war zone on Earth. About a week later, I also flew over the heart of Iran, and it is quite an inhospitable looking place, arid with tall mountains. In fact, they have the highest mountain in the Middle East there. It's called Mount damavanda, about 18,400 feet In Iran   Keith Weinhold  15:01   Dubai, real estate is not going to be the same for a long time, maybe ever. It's said. It's been bombed pretty often this year. So all of this is not ephemeral, what the US calls operation epic fury. It could elevate inflation for years. Wars are expensive, missiles, aircraft carriers, troop deployments, all the logistics, we are not going to pay for all of that with savings. Lol, let's all pause right now for the audience laughter. We don't have savings. We pay for it with debt, and the easiest way to pay for gigantic spending programs is to just quietly and sort of surreptitiously print more dollars. That's inflation. It dilutes every single dollar that you own now, every $20 bill in your wallet, every $100 in your savings account, inflation also debases every dollar of your real estate equity and every dollar in your stock portfolio. You'll remember that about six months ago, right here, I pointed out that though Trump says he wants low inflation, his behavior is highly inflationary. One thing to keep in mind is that, whether you like the President or not, what he does is when he sees the economy hurting, like with high gas prices or with the sinking stock market, what he does is he acts much like he did on tariff tweaks, but at some point it becomes too late to reverse course. You've got to ask, Have we cut rates too much? The Fed made rate cuts both last year and the year before, and meanwhile, a monetary puzzle keeps on brewing. The war could make things awkward, because we're supposed to have a new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, coming in a month and a half. Trump wants him to lower rates, but if inflation heats up, the obvious solution is to jack up rates. US stock investors are already feeling it, because the indices entered correction territory last week due to the war a correction means a drop of 10% or more from a recent peak, and us real estate investors are well insulated. Like I said, long term high inflation boosts values. Rents are even more stable than prices and rents, as long as you're outside of the direct war zone, have very little relation to the war. But systemic supply chain disruptions can be a real thing that fuels inflation, and here's why. See, manufacturers used to keep eight to 12 weeks of inventory in stock, but no longer. Today, we've got the efficient just in time supply chains and there is less stock on the shelf. The system is fragile. That's why this domino effect can create this long term economic headache of shortages and inflation. Have you seen any empty shelves yet, like we did during the pandemic, I have not but as we know, during inflationary times, investors flock to hard assets, it can help to have a little gold, I think, truly just a little. But in wartime, the most advantaged investment class is right where we already are. It is residential real estate held with debt. We are out here winning the GRE inflation triple crown because property values rise, debt becomes cheaper in real dollars and rents increase over time, all while inflation cannot touch your fixed mortgage payment amount. Now, during the last wave of high inflation, that was 2021 and 2022 us real estate prices were up 10 to 20% in each one of those years, not aggregate, but each one of those years. Do I think that this can happen again if we have another big wave of war generated inflation? No, I don't, I do not believe that national real estate prices can rise as much as 10% over the next 12 months, even amidst this low supply condition, and that is because of the ongoing affordability constraint. As for inflation, the cobasy Letter reported an inflation expectation of 5.2% over the next 12 months. There are other projections in the fours out there, but so much will change between now and then. So I think even they would acknowledge that that is a guess. Above all, wars are tragic. Let's acknowledge that the bottom line here is that wars are expensive too. They create inflation, and residential real estate held with debt is more than an inflation hedge. It's an inflation profiting machine. Straight ahead, we'll talk more about what's happening in the real estate market, in some different sectors. It's with a woman that I invest my own funds with for a stable real estate backed return. I'm Keith Weinhold.

Listen to get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your Daydream.   Keith Weinhold  22:55   Today we're talking about the wealth window. Why this moment in real estate is different in the opinion of our guest. I'm talking with a woman that I invest my own liquid dollars with because we've been friends for a decade. They have a track record of making investor payouts 100% of the time and on time. She's the founder and CEO of freedom family investments and owns eight real estate businesses. What they invest in, and therefore what my funds are backed by, is recession resilient, needs based real estate like multifamily, senior housing and self storage. I have a book on my bookshelf that she and her husband wrote, called Get Real and she has an upcoming book, calm money never panics, and a forthcoming Netflix documentary that's going to bring her message to a global audience, as her new partnership with Dr Phil to bring Straight Talk financial clarity to more people. Her philosophy is we measure success, not just by ROI, but by return on life. Rol, love that welcome back to the show. Danny. Lynn Robinson,   Dani-Lynn Robison  24:07   thank you so much, Keith. I'm so happy to be here.    Keith Weinhold  24:10   You always have so many interesting things happening. Tell us about the Dr Phil McGraw partnership and how your messages really move beyond investing circles. Absolutely.   Dani-Lynn Robison  24:20   What I love is when we get to visit again each year, as we talk on a podcast and just as friends. And it's really exciting right now because of the message that I think is perfect timing for the world that we live in right now and how fast things are changing, and Dr Phil came into the picture to really bring visibility to what we're doing and what we're talking about, because there's urgency just around AI and technology and what it's doing to the world and the uncertainty in the marketplace. Because I'm on conversations every single day with investors who just aren't sure what to do anymore. They're just like, I'm not sure exactly where to invest. I don't know what the future holds, and we can't rely. On history anymore, and so it's that instability that we're talking about that people probably feel more than they actually articulate very well in the world and in the economy and our finances. I mean, I don't know if you heard the stat, but chat GPT reached 100 million users in 60 days, like fastest adoption of technology and human history. So really, Dr Phil was, how do I get this message out to the world in a bigger way? And he brings such visibility to everything that he does. So does the documentary, so does the new book. So I'm putting it all together and doing lots of things, and I'm super excited.   Keith Weinhold  25:37   Dr Phil does more than just lecture teen girls that are brats to their parents, Dr Phil needs to invest as well. And you know, Danny, part of the stability that you offer and what you're into is just sort of this premise that we know as real estate investors, that not all real estate is created equal. For example, look at what happened to the office space post covid, and you really are formative with needs based real estate, like I said, and where capital's flowing now into that more resilient sector. Can you tell us more about that?   Dani-Lynn Robison  26:14   Yeah, absolutely. So let me touch on a few other things about AI and technology, and we're going to run into this analogy that I like to use about the river. So right now, with what everything that's going on, I'm calling it the final frontier, the final frontier of building wealth as we know it. And the reason I say it that way is I'm a big believer in not talking about fear based messaging, like I hate things that like the news that just brings fear into your face and makes you scared of everything that's going on, but I am a fan of being real, right? And everything that's going on right now, like as careers are changing over the next five to 10 years, we're just talking with high income earners about what's going on and why we're doing what we're doing, why we're positioning ourselves into what I call this river analogy. And it's because of another stat. There's a bunch of them, but I remember this one always top of mind because it happened five months ago, and I saw it in the news, and I was like, oh my goodness, it's already started, and that's just UPS cutting 48,000 jobs, right? And like I said, I've got articles that are just like, you can just see it, and everybody again feels and see it coming like the writing is on the wall. So when we were looking at what we want to do over the next five to 10 years, as we see what's happening, we're always evaluating that and figuring out where we want to position ourselves and why. And that's where this recession resilient real estate came in. Needs based real estate came in. The phrase not all real estate is created equal, came in, and it's what I'm shouting from the rooftops here, because I think no matter where you invest and who you invest with, I think this is a conversation worth having and questions worth asking. And so the visual I like to use is this, imagine standing on the bank of a river, right? So the water is moving in one direction, towards the path of least resistance. It doesn't fight geography. It flows exactly to where it's needed. So when we talk about real estate, we're talking about where is money flowing right now, in real estate. So we've always invested in the Midwest and southeast. That's where, you know population growth is. A lot of people are investing there. And then we chose three asset classes that I talk about a lot, and this is things that your listeners should write down. If you're driving, don't write down. Just remember it. So the first one is workforce housing. So we chose that one because one in nine Americans live in workforce housing today. Construction has dropped 40% since 2023 so there's a huge supply gap. The second asset class is senior housing, the silver tsunami. I'm sure you've heard of that. Yeah, 10,000 Americans every single day are turning 65 until 2030 and then, if you study all of the stats and you watch the timing of retirement, this ripples like into 2040 so it's 14 years for this asset class that's going to be really, really great for us to be investing in. We're getting very fast, yes, yes. And then the one I was surprised by was self storage. This one, I didn't, I didn't even think about as a recession resilient asset class, but it's actually outpaced traditional real estate over the last 15 years. For some reason, when people are looking at their bills and what they choose to pay, storage is one of them. They want to protect the things that they own, their family heirlooms, whatever it is, businesses want to protect the things that they have, they're putting it in storage. So those are the three asset classes that we're investing in. So our strategy isn't predict markets. It's positioning in that river, right where is the money flowing to? And it's workforce housing, senior housing and self storage. So I always tell people, the question isn't Are you investing in real estate? It's what real estate are you investing in, and are you positioned where the capital is flowing towards, or are you trying to swim upstream? And so that's the needs based versus wants based. Real Estate like the wants based, you nailed it, like luxury apartments, vacation rentals, Class A developments, office and retail space, whereas needs based. Place are the three asset classes I just talked about, because people need a place to live. They always need to care for their aging parents. They always need storage. And these are just things that people cannot live without.   Keith Weinhold  30:12   It doesn't surprise people that workforce housing, which is basically entry level housing, and senior housing, are recession resilient. What surprises some people that aren't in the real estate space is how resilient self storage is. Even in recessionary times, people will not give up that storage locker. They get incredibly sentimental off things that have very little value. Or, you know, they're 1985 baseball cards of Roger Clemens or something. They will continue to pay for that self storage unit year after year? Yeah. Now I know that you often discuss what you call the wealth window, why you feel like this specific moment is different in real estate, and why acting beats waiting. Tell us about that.   Dani-Lynn Robison  30:55   What I'm referring to in the wealth window is that point in everybody's life where the combination of active income and compounding is at its peak, right? Because it's always, always, always easier to build a passive income stream when you already have active income working for you. And so I use an example. Doesn't matter what type of career that you have, but imagine somebody investing $2,000 a month at 35 and how that performs compared to somebody who waited till 40 years old and they started investing 4000 a month. So the 40 year old actually doubled the amount that they're investing per month, but the 35 year old is likely going to outperform all the time because of the compounding effect of those five years where they started earlier. Incredible how that works. Yeah, it's incredible. So it's that wealth window that I like to talk about, that people, especially right now, with what's going on I'm getting on the phone. They're like, Danny, this is where my money is. And I know it's not where it should be, but I just don't know what to do. It's this uncertainty. And so I like to talk about the wealth window that, hey, it's not just the return that you're going to be getting because your money's working for you and not sitting in either a place that's getting no return or a very, very low return, but it's also the window of time in which you can actually grow in very, very big ways and allow it to outperform somebody who starts later in life. So I call it the whale of window, because I wanted this imagery of the window closing, and that every single day the window continues to close. And right now, what makes it different than history is what's happened over the last 20 years and what's going to happen over the next 20 years is drastically different. And again, not trying to go fear based messaging, because I hate that more than anybody else, but I am trying to keep it real, right? Careers are already disappearing. I've got a book coming out this next month for physicians, and I was studying what's happening to their industry, right? And we have a lot of engineers that are on our private investor briefings. And as I'm studying those industries, I'm watching things that we maybe wouldn't realize are going to go away, and I'm seeing how it's already started, and that there's some industries or niches within those industries, they're going to go away faster, and that this conversation is not for particular people. It's for everybody, all of us, over the next 510, years, we don't know what's going to happen. We can't predict it. So there's a couple other stats that I wrote down to share on this, because a lot of the people I'm talking to are still sitting in the stock market because they wanted you know something that they were familiar with, right? And something that they knew that they could get their capital out if they wanted. Yeah.   Keith Weinhold  33:25   And we're here at a time when valuations based on PE ratios are near all time highs in the stock   Dani-Lynn Robison  33:31   market, yes. And so the stock market right now. There's two articles that I talk about all the time on my briefings, and the first one was because I just looked to see what's happening recently. And you may even know something that's happened more recent than these. But February 5, Reuters reported us. Software stocks lost nearly a trillion dollars in a week. And I was like a week, and in that article, it was Microsoft and Salesforce as to the service now, I think was in there too. That dropped like five to 7% disruption there, yes, yes. And the Wall Street Journal reported February 3, 300 billion wiped off software in a single day. And so this AI and technology disruption. It's real, and it's in the headlines. And for all of us that who see it coming, it's just moving faster. And I think any of us realize everybody to talk to, they're like, I can't even keep up anymore. I can't keep up with what's going on the market, what's working, what's not working. Every time I try to adapt to something new, something new comes out tomorrow, and we're just kind of stuck in this place of uncertainty. So that's why, again, I'm just really having this big conversation about the time is now. Getting clarity is important right now. Taking action, even if it's small, is important right now, knowing where your money is and whether you can rely on it later is important right now. And for me, needs based real estate is where it's at.   Keith Weinhold  34:49   Few people that are well thought through, in my opinion, believe that AI is going to permanently reduce the workforce, but it could in the short term, but long term, when you look at. The advent of any new invention, it often creates more jobs, but just shifts where they're going to be, whether that's the steam engine or the automobile or electricity or the advent of the Internet. That has what has happened every time, really no substantial net job loss, at least in the long term. But we all need to evolve. We all need to learn and stay current on this. And Danny Lynn, I know that part of the evolution that you talk about for investors is that from operator to allocator tell us about that. Yeah.   Dani-Lynn Robison  35:35   So I love this conversation, because it's not something that people talk about a lot. I bet you have, because you have gone through this journey, right? So I'm going to call stage one landlord. It's where a lot of people enter real estate, because when you want to become a real estate investor, we all aren't sure where to start, but we've already reached ad for dad. And So level one is landlord. Stage two is turnkey, which you talk about a lot on your podcast, and it's kind of that done for you, landlord, rental model. And then stage three is like funds and more passive investing, which I call the allocator model. So how I define operator now, allocator is really in this stage one, stage two, stage three, right? The operator is stage one, landlord, you are doing it, right? You're finding the property. Maybe you're renovating it. Maybe you're doing you're just doing a lot of the work yourself, because maybe you're new, and that's how you think it should be done. So you're the operator in that situation. Stage two turnkey. Now it's done for you right now. You really just need to look at the opportunities, the properties, and you get to choose one, but somebody else found it, they renovated it, they placed a tenant in it. They're probably going to manage it for you. So this one, I think you're part operator, because you are managing some aspects of it. It's still yours. You still control the asset. But you're also part allocator, because you got to just deploy capital into something that somebody else helped do a lot of that work that an operator normally would do. So that's like, kind of your middle ground stage two, right? Which is a great place to be. And then stage three is that discovery of funds, where you can actually deploy capital into people who do everything for you, and you can get, you know, quarterly distributions, or allow things to compound, and you don't have to do any of the work. So those are the three stages that I talk about. And I know you are involved in two out of the three. I am two. You may tell me you're involved in all three, but I know for sure you're involved at a two out of the three, and I think a lot of people are. We've had investors come to us with rental portfolios, and they decided they wanted the mix, right? They wanted to keep some of the properties. They also wanted to liquidate some of the property, or they kept their entire portfolio, and decided, I just want to add funds to the mix. Because you talk about this a lot on your podcast, and that's getting time back right? The return on time. That's why I like return on life, because I think our time is probably our most precious asset, more than finances. In my opinion, I want my time. I want to be able to choose where it's spent. And really, that allocator, this is the banks, right? They're at the top of the pyramid in terms of wealth, the banks and what do they do? They deploy into good operators. So I just think it's an important conversation to have, and it's why I do funds and syndications, and I do that more than anything else, because I saw the lives of my investors turn, and they were just so much happier because they weren't having to manage as much. And again, they still, many of them balance between the two. I just think it's a really great conversation to have    Keith Weinhold  38:26   this metamorphosis from operator to somewhere in the middle, like a turnkey investor, and then finally, an allocator. Yeah. I mean, you're spot on. And that describes me perfectly. I began as an operator where I thought I had to manage my own properties, and I only did that in my local market. Then I learned about turnkey real estate investing, which is still squarely where I am as an investor, but increasingly I do more and more of the allocation because it is substantially more passive, and really that's where you come in. You help me be the bank in many cases, and as a turnkey investor. Oppositely, I want to be the borrower and create leverage and all that. But in the allocator phase, it can make sense to be a lender with liquidity, and you offer this private money lending that I participate in and help me be the allocator. So tell us more about that, and really just what qualifications one needs to invest    Dani-Lynn Robison  39:24   Absolutely. So we have multiple offerings. The one I talk about a lot right now is our freedom notes. And like you said, it's very much like private money lending. It's a promissory note. So one of the things that I've never liked about investing is sometimes it's very confusing how it works. And I say this is Warren Buffett. Actually, you should never invest in something you don't understand. But that's like, my mindset as well as like, if I don't understand it, if it's too complicated for me to understand, then I don't want to invest. And so we've always gone about everything. And you can take, you know, every single podcast I've done with you right from the very beginning. Okay, we just keep things simple. And so freedom notes and all of our offerings are essentially a promissory note of sorts, and you get fixed returns, and it depends on how much you invest. We do have both accredited and non accredited options. The Freedom note is an accredited offering. It does have fixed returns up to 14% and then we actually put in a 2% bonus on top of that for people who do invest long term. And here's why I do that, we're going to be talking about calm capital in a little bit. And I believe in boring investing, right? I believe in investing long term, because emotional investors tend to lose in the end, because they're always moving their money in and out. And it just doesn't work for you long term and so although we give annual liquidity options, giving people the option to get their cash back out once a year, we do that for peace of mind, more than anything else, less than 10% of our investors actually want their cash back. They do believe in the power of long term wealth building, but they love, love, love, the peace of mind that they can have access to their capital if they need it, right? And so that was really, really hard to do in real estate, because real estate is illiquid, right? So we had to work with an attorney for a very long time to figure out how to do it. How do we offer this option, knowing that our money is tied up in real estate? And so it was a lot of conversations back and forth, but we figured it out. Obviously, there's a notice that you have to give us, and we have to have the ability to get the money out of that real estate to be able to give it back. So there's lots of moving parts, but the option is there for peace of mind. So we do that. We also created an income path and a growth path, because some people are at a stage of life where money matters. They actually want the income some people like me at a stage of life where I just want it to grow, and I want to grow as fast as possible, so I invest as much as possible, get the highest return I can, and then I want it to continue to compound, to accelerate that growth. And use time from my side.   Keith Weinhold  41:52   What are the minimum investment amounts? And can you use your 401, k or IRA to invest?   Dani-Lynn Robison  41:57   Yes, so $25,000 is the minimum. So again, we're keeping it accessible to everybody, and you can use your retirement accounts to invest some 401 ks have different rules. Our team can walk you through what those rules are and what to ask in order to determine how to deploy those funds into our investment opportunities.    Keith Weinhold  42:13   Do you put your own skin in the game on these investments? Tell us about that. I mean, I already know the answer, but let the audience know,    Dani-Lynn Robison  42:21   yes, 100% in fact, flip and I, we invest one yes, flip is my husband. Thank you for you and I have been friends for so long. You know who flip is, but my husband flip and I, yeah, we invest 100% in everything that we do. In fact, all of our money is we used to be a little diversified, and we forget that we're just investing in us and our businesses and our real estate. So we do have skin in the game, not just us, our company as well, invest alongside. So we're along the ride with you guys. We believe in this as much as everybody else, and that boils down to character. There's something that I tell people when they're talking to people that they're going to invest in what's most important when I'm on the phone, people say, Danny, what should I have asked that I didn't ask, and sometimes they don't ask that. And so I tell them to I said, this isn't the question you should have asked. And so I always tell people I answer in different ways depending on what we're talking about, but I talk about character. I said, I don't care about my returns when I'm investing. I care about the person I'm investing in, right? That comes first before anything else. Because I don't care if you told me I could get 20% possibly, but if you run away from a deal that goes bad, then I just lost everything. And I could have invested at a lower return with somebody who actually had character and who was going to stay in the fight no matter what happens. And I think we talked about this on our last podcast, Keith, just about real estate and what's happening in the industry right now, and that there are deals that have gone bad, and I've personally had a partner of mine want to leave investors hanging. We bought the deal out from under them. We just said, Nope, you guys can leave. We're taking over. Because I'm never, ever going to do that to my investors. And I think our very first podcast with you, it was talking about the worst deal that we had in a private home. Yeah, our private lender who lend it honest, never even knew what happened to that property, because I paid them everything that they were owed, plus their interest. And they didn't have to know. I would have transparently told them what was going on. But to me, it's just like, this is just my job. This is my duty. Like you trusted me with your money. I'm going to make sure you get everything back. So when I talk about these stories, it's not really stories that I talk about a whole lot, except for that, I relate it to character, and I think it's important for people to know this is one of the questions you should know to ask. It's not just what are you investing in? It's not just what's your track record. It's not just what's your returns. It's who are you as a person, and things are going to go wrong, right? This is life. This is real estate. All you do know is it. Don't know that's right. So things will go wrong. What happens when things go wrong? What happens to the company? What happens to you? What happens to the investors? That is so incredibly important,   Keith Weinhold  44:48   those that put together private money lending offerings like freedom family investments, they can't say that something is a guaranteed return, even though they have a 100% track. Record of investor payouts that's also on time. It's regulated by the SEC the Securities and Exchange Commission. And in the SEC world, guarantee is not a word that you can use. You get a preferred return, meaning that the investor gets paid first and FFI gets paid last, even though the ones putting this all together? Well, Danny Lynn, tell us more about calm capital. I know that's the philosophy behind your upcoming book.   Dani-Lynn Robison  45:31   Yeah, absolutely. So I love the conversation around calm capital because it refers to the whole boring investor idea, right? And letting your money sit and work for you over time, and that's how real wealth is built. So I believe capital preservation should come before aggressive protections. I believe downside protection should come before upside stories. I believe that you don't build and create a strategy around good times. You build and create strategies around all times, no matter what is happening in the market, and that's why needs based real estate is the thing that we stand behind the most. Because we know, no matter what this is, what people are going to prioritize. And I don't have a crystal ball. None of us do. So over the next 510, years, I'm going to invest in what I know, and I'm going to invest in things that I know will always be there and that people are always going to pay for. And that's why I sleep at night. That's why my investors sleep at night, because we are getting our time back. And that's really the philosophy around what this book is about, is just that calm money doesn't panic, because when the market panics, calm investors still win.   Keith Weinhold  46:35   Yeah, I love the premise of calm money. Well, Danny Lynn, investors and our GRE listeners have benefited from you guys's capital architecture call, a free 20 minute session that your team helps people with tell us about that and how they can learn more.   Dani-Lynn Robison  46:52   Yeah, absolutely. So the word I chose for this is window. So you'll text the word window to 66 866, and the capital architecture call is going to do five things. It's a 20 minute session. It's not a sales call. There's no obligation. Doesn't matter whether you invest with us or not, but it's going to do five things for you. First, it's going to show you how to protect and grow your capital. So this is a framework that maps out exactly how your capital should be allocated based on where you're at right now we're going to ask you if you're in preservation mode or growth mode, or maybe a balance of both. So we're just going to help you find that clarity. Second, we're going to look at your taxes. We're not CPAs and we're not tax professionals. So they said, Well, you have high level overview, but there's two ways to build wealth, right? You make money or you keep more of it. So we're going to look at the keep more of it piece and see where some of that is disappearing, and how you can legally structure things to be able to keep more of that and allow that money to be working for you. And then third, we're going to teach you our it's called the Magnus Investment Framework. My marketing team came up with that word. I always laugh when I say it, Magnus, honestly, yeah, it's honestly just the lens on how we're choosing our markets and the asset classes that we enter and which ones we stay away from. A lot of that we talked about today, because it's the conversation that I'm really having and talking about a lot. Fourth is just priority access. This just means a lot of investors are always looking for the inside track, right? They want to know, where do I find these market opportunities? Where do I find the opportunities that everybody else is trusting and I don't know how to navigate my way through the noise. So just by jumping on this call, you're going to be added to our list, and it just means you're going to get first access to anything that we're doing, or anything we're talking about or exploring that also rolls into the last one. This is just for a select few people. We do have $1 amount of a qualification, dollar amount of whether you can do this? And this is just ownership partner program. So I'm actually taking people and taking calls where they say, Danny, I want to own a property with you. So again, it has to make sense for us to actually do that, so we're looking at higher dollar commitments. But if that's of interest to you, when you jump on a call to say, I want to talk about the ownership partner program, they'll find out exactly where you're at, what you want to invest, if it's actually going to meet your goals, and then if it does, then you'll jump on a call with me and we'll talk about the deals that we're looking at. This is really where you get into the point where you get the massive tax advantages, right? Because you're an actual partner with us on the deal. And so the goal with all of this is just to be specific, because you and I can be talking about generalities all we want, but it comes down to your specific situation, right? Your specific goals. What's going on in your life? Where are you right now? Where do you want to go? And so that's what we do on that call text window to 66866,   Keith Weinhold  49:43   for you the listener, just think about if these insights can be personalized for your own situation. That's what you can get on a capital architecture call. And really everything is built around your specific income, your goals, your situation, you. And every person is going to walk away with more clarity than what they came in with, whether they invest with freedom or not. Yeah, it is a very approachable 25k minimum. Consider booking a free 20 minute capital architecture call just text window to 66 866, Danny. A lot of insights here that every investor is going to find helpful. It's been great having you back on the show. Thank you,   Dani-Lynn Robison  50:25   Keith, it was pleasure being here.   Keith Weinhold  50:32   Yeah, the life stages of investor, operator, turnkey investor, and then allocator, with the first one operator. You might think you have to be one first, but you don't. Then turnkey investor. Turnkey investor is a nice place to be. That's a real sweet spot for a lot of people. You get all the real estate pays five ways, advantages of direct ownership plus control. And then finally, the passive investor, the most passive, the allocator. So nice breakdown from Danny Lynn Robinson today, yeah, one way they help is offering freedom. Note, so what I do is, by making a loan to them, I get a stable return with the passivity of a mutual fund, but it's certainly not a mutual fund, and I get moderately good liquidity too, fixed returns, cash flow. This is a cash on cash return of 8% 10% 12% and up to 14% depending on what your liquidity needs are, and more largely backed by this needs based real estate, workforce housing, Senior Living and self storage. If you think that they can help you with that or something else, it can be a good use of your time to book a quick capital architecture. Call with them. Just text the word window to 66 866, text, window to 66 866, now, next week, it's milestone episode, 600 debt is the American dream. Until then, I'm your host.
