Podcasts about Jobs

John Chang shares a deep-dive outlook on the major forces shaping commercial real estate investing in 2026. He explains why job growth is expected to slow significantly, how policy uncertainty and AI-driven productivity are restraining hiring, and what that means for absorption and vacancies across property types. Chang also breaks down interest rate expectations, inflation risks, and why pricing is likely to remain relatively flat despite improving liquidity. He closes with a detailed look at institutional capital returning to the market, where that money is likely to flow, and how private investors can position themselves for stronger relative returns in 2026.

#677: Happy New Year! We're kicking off 2026 with a reality check on where your money stands right now. The Good News: Gas prices dropped below $3/gallon. Inflation cooled to 2.7%. The Fed cut rates again. GDP grew 4.3% (surprisingly strong). Gold hit $4,500 an ounce. And 19 states raised minimum wages. The Not-So-Good: Health insurance jumped 10-18%. Unemployment ticked up. Mortgage rates are stuck around 6.2%. And 80% of homeowners are unlikely to sell because they locked in rates below 6%. The Big Picture: The stock market is outperforming the economy. How It Affects You: I call it "millionaire malaise." Your 401k looks great. Your home equity is through the roof (no pun intended). If you bought before 2022, your assets look good on paper. Yet you're stressed out at the grocery store. Everything costs more – insurance, groceries, everything except gas. Jobs are stagnant. People are stuck. We're experiencing the difference between wealth and income. This is 2026: Wealthy on paper. Broke at the checkout line. Whether you're new to money management or a long-timer looking for clarity, this episode cuts through the noise to tell you what actually matters for your finances this year.

Let's start with some basic definitions between our job and our work: Our job is what we do day-in and day-out to bring in income. It is the duties we perform, most often for an employer, sometimes as our own employer, for which we receive money. A company’s job descriptions are written for whoever happens to have the job. Once the job description is written, the search begins to find a person who will do the job well. Our work, on the other hand, is what God has designed us to do. It is our purpose for being here, what we are uniquely created for. It is distinctly linked to the gifts, talents, passions, and assets we have been given by God. While many people may have identical jobs, no two people have the same work, because each of us has a unique plan for our lives. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). Those works God has prepared for each of us to do—that is our work. We must understand the difference. When this is not clear to us, we can encounter many difficulties. For example, one of our most common mistakes is to expect our job to fulfill us. In the past Americans seemed to have a love affair with their careers, but have you sensed how is changing now and changing rapidly? We see industries shuffling, companies downsizing, and management levels reducing in almost every company and industry. People no longer expect to work for one employer throughout their career and build a family relationship as we have in the past. This passion we’ve had for our careers is becoming more like a fatal attraction. Yet, because we’ve seen our jobs as our work, many people continue to look to the workplace to find meaning and purpose in their lives. If you don’t know the difference between your job and your work, you can see how frightening and disillusioning this could be for some people. They lose their job, and they lose their identity. Now, here we are as Christians in the workplace, and we need a biblical perspective of our jobs, don’t we? Let me ask you: As a Christian, is it essential for you to have a job which is personally fulfilling? Is that your right? Should that have a high priority in your life? I have a feeling if that is true, many of you would stand up right now and say, “My job is not fulfilling,” and we would have to conclude your life is in shambles. But the good news is, you may be able to say, “My job is not terribly fulfilling, but my life is fulfilled because I know the work God has given me to do. That fills my life with meaningful activity.” Let’s consider some significant differences in our job and our work: Your job may employ none of your gifts; your work employs all your gifts. Now, first, do you know what your gifts are? Do you know the spiritual gifts you’ve been endowed with by God? We all have at least one spiritual gift, and many times we have several. Let’s look briefly at Romans 12 to learn a bit about these gifts. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully (Romans 12:6-8). And again in 1 Corinthians 12, we read: Now to each one (that means everyone who is a believer) the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7). The manifestation of the Spirit is your gift or gifts. If you have been born from above, you have blessed with a gift, and the reason you’ve been given a gift is so you can bless others with it. The neat thing about our gifts is we love to do it, and it doesn’t come hard for us. God is an incredibly smart manager of his human resources. He knows if I love to do what I have to do, I’m going to do it much better. Therefore, not only does he give me gifts to use for the common good of the Body of Christ and to bring glory to his name, but he also gives me a love and joy in doing it. It’s a joy to exercise your gifts, isn’t it? Now that doesn’t mean you never grow tired or weary or that you don't want to run away occasionally. But I know, as you do, a few days away from doing my work, and I’m restless. I’m ready to go back. Not true with what used to be my job. I traveled around the country doing business seminars. I looked forward to the weeks I didn’t have to travel and had to do some strong positive thinking to keep from getting a little depressed when a trip was coming up. When I made the decision to give up that job so I didn't have to travel like that again, I did not shed one tear. That was my job. If you told me I could never use these gifts God has given me, I would feel empty. Life would be tasteless. My gifts are the things that bring meaning and purpose in my life, because they come from God to be used for him. Your job will inevitably result in income; your work may never result in income. We all are willing to go to our jobs each day primarily because we get a salary or compensation at regular intervals for performing that job. I traveled around doing the same seminar over and over because they sent me a check, and I needed that check to pay my bills. If they had said to me, “Mary, we’ve decided we can no longer pay you for doing these seminars, but we sure hope you’ll keep doing them. You’re good at them, and we like what you do,” I would have said, “Well, thanks, but you won’t see me around anymore. I do my job for money.” I’m not saying you can’t enjoy doing your job or there aren’t other motivational factors and rewards involved. But I’d be very surprised to find anybody who would continue going to their job each day without compensation. Your work may never pay you a dollar, but it will pay benefits that cannot be valued in earthly terms. When you are doing your work, what God has called you to do, you’re putting deposits in God’s heavenly bank, where thieves don’t break in and steal and rust cannot destroy your investment. It’s not that you are without compensation; it’s simply deposited in a different bank and held as a long-term investment. In our society where people are valued by the size of their salaries and bank accounts, this is a totally different perspective and one we adjust to. This is one of those areas where we must fight not to allow the world to shove us into its mold, into its way of thinking. You and I need to get in our minds a picture of God’s bank in heaven. Now, we are judged and valued by the size of our accounts in God’s bank. What have you been sending on ahead to deposit? Our work—doing what God has called and gifted us to do—puts money in the heavenly bank, whereas our jobs usually just put money in the earthly bank. Big difference in the two. There is always someone else who can do your job; there is no one else who can do your work. If you called your employer on Monday and said, “I’m not coming back; you won’t see me again,” guess what? They would survive. It might cause some temporary problems, but somebody soon would move into your shoes, learn your job, and do it. The world would keep on revolving with hardly a blip. We all like to think we’re indispensable, but in our jobs, we’re not. However, you are indispensable when it comes to your work. If you don’t do the work God has called you to do, it will go undone. Nobody else can do it. Now, that’s a frightening thought and quite frankly, it should frighten us to think we could miss the work God has called us to do. Your corner of the world is where you have been sent. The people you interact with every day are your special people group. If you don’t use your gifts to do God’s work for the people in your world, nobody else will fill in the gap. It will go undone. Your job may sometimes produce frustration; your work will most often produce fruit. Jobs carry no guarantee of inner tranquility or accomplishment. You can work as hard as possible and never feel like you’ve done a whole lot. You may never get appropriate recognition for the job you do, and indeed others may take credit for what you have done. You may discover the harder you work at your job, the more frustrating it is. Often our jobs bring a great deal of frustration into our lives, for all kinds of reasons. On the other hand, your work will energize you, because you know you’re doing something eternally significant. Your work will bring satisfaction. You surely can grow weary in doing your work, but you won’t grow weary of the work. You may experience some short-term frustrations associated with your work, but it always leads to something fruitful in your life.

Today on AOTA Shorts: In what can only be described as silicon valley's educational wet dream, the Alpha School expands its footprint across the nation. The private school, which packs a $75K/year price tag, touts its ability to have kids learn twice as much in just 2 hours of AI based “instruction” per day. And contrary to what you might expect, the school claims its guides (the adults who work there rather than teachers) offer a more humane environment than traditional schools. And, as the Alpha School eyes expansion to Palo Alto, just down the road, computer science graduates of Stanford University are finding a dearth of jobs, as the industry shifts entry level jobs to AI. What are the implications of this AI mess we find ourselves in? Manuel and Jeff discuss! Woah, new format!

From childhood, she knew something wasn't right—but it wasn't tied to a single haunted house. Wherever she went, the activity followed. Shadows moved without a source. Voices whispered in empty rooms. A little girl's laughter echoed down hallways where no one stood. What began as fear inside a family home slowly became something far more disturbing—a real haunting that reacted to her presence. She saw apparitions others couldn't explain: a Civil War soldier, a silent man in overalls, and a glowing figure that walked straight through walls. Objects moved on their own. Doors closed. A doll was violently thrown from a shelf after she demanded proof. And one night, a dark figure with red eyes sat on her bed. As she grew older, the phenomenon didn't fade—it spread. Jobs became haunted. Coworkers saw figures she never described. Friends' homes changed after she arrived. Even her boyfriend's family began seeing the same ghostly child. Was it a ghost? Something darker? Or a haunting tied to her alone? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedLife #ShadowFigure #ParanormalExperience #GhostChild #HauntedHouse #SleepParalysis #TrueParanormal #Unexplained #ScaryStories  Love real ghost stories?

Original Release Date: November 25, 2025Our Chief U.S. Economist Michael Gapen breaks down how growth, inflation and the AI revolution could play out in 2026.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michael Gapen: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist.Today I'll review our 2026 U.S. Economic Outlook and what it means for growth, inflation, jobs and the Fed.It's Tuesday, November 25th, at 10am in New York.If 2025 was the year of fast and furious policy changes, then 2026 is when the dust settles.Last year, we predicted slow growth and sticky inflation, mainly because of strict trade and immigration policies – and this proved accurate. But this year, the story is changing. We see the U.S. economy finally moving past the high-uncertainty phase. Looking ahead, we see a return to modest growth of 1.8 percent in 2026 and 2 percent in 2027. Inflation should cool but it likely won't hit the Fed's 2 percent target. By the end of 2026, we see headline PCE inflation at 2.5 percent, core inflation at 2.6 percent, and both stay above the 2 percent target through 2027. In other words, the inflation fight isn't over, but the worst is behind us.So, if 2025 was slow growth and sticky inflation, then 2026 and [20]27 could be described as moderate growth and disinflation. The impact of trade and immigration policies should fade, and the economic climate should improve. Now, there are still some risks. Tariffs could push prices higher for consumers in the near term; or if firms cannot pass through tariffs, we worry about additional layoffs. But looking ahead to the second half of 2026 and beyond, we think those risks shift to the upside, with a better chance of positive surprises for growth.After all, AI-related business spending remains robust and upper income consumers are faring well. There is reason for optimism. That said, we think the most likely path for the economy is the return to modest growth. U.S. consumers start to rebound, but slowly. Tariffs will keep prices firm in the first half of 2026, squeezing purchasing power for low- and middle-income households. These households consume mainly through labor market income, and until inflation starts to retreat, purchasing power should be constrained.Real consumption should rise 1.6 percent in 2026 and 1.8 [percent] in 2027 – better, but not booming. The main culprit is a labor market that's still in ‘low-hire, low-fire' mode driven by immigration controls and tariff effects that keep hiring soft. We see unemployment peaking at 4.7 percent in the second quarter of 2026, then easing to 4.5 percent by year-end. Jobs are out there, but the labor market isn't roaring. It'll be hard for hiring to pick up until after tariffs have been absorbed.And when jobs cool, the Fed steps in. The Fed is cutting rates – but at a cost. After two 25 basis point rate cuts in September and October, we expect 75 basis points more by mid 2026, bringing the target range to 3.0-3.25 percent. Why? To insure against labor market weakness. But that insurance comes with a price: inflation staying above target longer. Think of it as the Fed walking a tightrope—lean too far toward jobs, and inflation lingers; lean too far toward inflation, and growth stumbles. For now the Fed has chosen the former.And how does AI fit into the macro picture? It's definitely a major growth driver. Spending on AI-related hardware, software, and data centers adds about 0.4 percent to growth in both 2026 and 2027. That's roughly 20 percent of total growth. But here's the twist: imports dilute the impact. After accounting for imported tech, AI's net contribution falls sharply. Still, we expect AI to boost productivity by 25-35 basis points by 2027, over our forecast horizon, marking the start of a new innovation cycle. In short: AI is planting the seeds now for bigger gains later.Of course, there are risks to our outlook. And let me flag three important ones. First, demand upside – meaning fiscal stimulus and business optimism push growth higher; under this scenario inflation stays hot, and the Fed pauses cuts. If the economy really picks up, then the Fed may need to take back the risk management cuts it's putting in now. That would be a shock to markets. Second, there's a productivity upside – in which case AI delivers bigger productivity gains, disinflation resumes, and rates drift lower. And lastly, a potential mild recession where tariffs and tight policy bite harder, GDP turns negative in early 2026, and the Fed slashes rates to near 1 percent. So in summary: 2026 looks to be a transition year with less drama but more nuance, as growth returns and inflation cools, while AI keeps rewriting the playbook.Thanks for listening.

In this short narration, Quentin Tarantino talks about the role of a director and it is a classic definition of what we need to do as leaders to become a leader worth following. Very early in his career, he asked Terry Gilliam on what was the job of a director in the making of a movie and here is what he was told – "It is not your job to create your vision, it is your job to have a vision! And it is your job then to hire talented people who understand your vision. You articulate your vision to them. Then they take your vision and they create it. And with them creating it, you bring your inputs to play. Your vision is still two dimensional. They will take the distinct elements of your vision and make it three dimensional. This way, you get back more than you gave into the vision. You will know even more what you are talking about and what you are seeing and your vision will get filled in. You think you have to do everything, you don't. You don't need to know anything about sewing to have wonderful costumes in your films, you just need to express what you need to the costume designers! You don't need to have a degree in engineering to have magnificent sets in your pieces, you just need to be able to describe what it is that you want. You don't need to know to take a bunch of light stands and put them together to create a specific lighting effect, that's not your job. You don't need to know any of that. What you need to know is that you need to have a vision and you need to know how to express it. And you let the other people take it and do it for you. That is what a director does!" Being a leader worth following is also the same. It is your job to have a vision. It is your job to know how to articulate the vision. It is your job to go out and hire talented individuals and share the vision with. It is then your job to let them take your vision and attempt to bring it alive. You then give your inputs where needed and let the vision come alive. You dont necessarily need to know how anything is done. You just need to know what you want and allow the talented individuals on your team to bring that to fruition. Having a vision, articulating the vision, hiring the right people and letting them bring the vision alive – that is your job as a leader! You can watch hear Tarantino share this in this video here.

NFL No Huddle: As weird as the 2025 NFL season has gone, we are set up for some very impactful games headed in to week 18, could any high profile coaches leave teams as a result?

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponders the coaching matchup in the Steelers' NFL Week 18 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens that will decide the AFC North. Are the Steelers' Mike Tomlin and the Ravens' John Harbaugh coaching for their jobs in this one? Should the loser be fired for missing the playoffs? And who will be the bigger disappointment if they lose? Tomlin with major roster additions including Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey Jonnu Smith and others. And stars like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward toward the ends of their careers? Or Harbaugh with an MVP candidate at QB in Lamar Jackson and an all-time great running back like Derrick Henry. Paul tackles those questions and more. Then gives his thoughts on Tomlin's weekly news conference. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Wolfram is a Senior UX Designer and Researcher and has been working at TeamViewer for eight years.He has been driving and advancing UX Research at the company for nearly two years, developing it further together with a young but highly talented and motivated team. He has been deeply involved with Jobs-to-Be-Done for over a decade and considers himself a pragmatic JTBD practitioner.Before joining TeamViewer, he spent almost ten years in the Enterprise Content Management space and have been focusing on Multi-Device Experiences since the mid-2010s. He is the author of “Multiscreen UX Design” and has been passionately engaged in UX and design for around 25 years. His expertise lies in Jobs-to-Be-Done, hands-on and pragmatic UX research, as well as content design and content management. He regularly and enthusiastically participates in webinars, meetups, and conferences.Beyond UX and design, he enjoys photography, particularly nature and bird photography, and loves spending time with his family. In the past, he was an avid groundhopper, traveling across Europe with friends to attend football matches.In our conversation, we discuss:* Why it helps to think of every user action as a “job” with a real outcome, not just a task or step.* The messy overlap between jobs, goals, use cases, and what stakeholders think they want.* Why most teams start in the solution space and how to bring Jobs thinking in without derailing the train.* What an actual “job” sounds like in the wild, and how to spot one inside complaints, workarounds, and feature requests.* Why Wolfram keeps outcome-driven language like “minimize the time it takes to…” as a rule and how it makes your findings way more usable.Some takeaways:* Jobs to Be Done is a lens. Wolfram doesn't wait for permission to use JTBD thinking. Whether he's asked for a usability test or feedback on a feature, he still pulls out the job behind it. Why? Because understanding the job gives you reusable insights that don't die with the feature.* Stop obsessing over the perfect term. Stakeholders just need to get it. Wolfram avoids technical jargon like “JTBD” when introducing the concept. He uses terms they already know, like “use cases” or “problems,” so they're not thrown off. The focus is clarity, not vocabulary.* Your users are already giving you jobs, you just have to listen for them. Complaints, feature requests, emails, even rants. All of these hold clues about what someone was trying to do. If you dig in with curiosity (and a few “tell me more”s), you can usually find the real goal underneath the noise.* Do it late if you must but do it anyway. Sometimes research doesn't happen until the build is already underway. That doesn't mean you skip the problem space. Wolfram brings in JTBD insights midstream, not to stop the train, but to nudge it toward stronger value delivery and set up better decisions next time.* Your feature might flop but your jobs research won't go to waste. If the solution turns out to be unworkable or doesn't land, you don't have to throw away the research. JTBD insights stay valid. They're reusable, solution-agnostic, and can fuel the next iteration or a totally new idea.Where to find Wolfram:* Multiscreen UX Design (book)* Website* LinkedIn* Twitter/XStop piecing it together.

What if the next big wave of job loss isn't at the site level... but at the top of your org chart?In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I explore the quiet storm that's about to rattle corporate America—and yes, even Multifamily. We're talking about AI-driven job displacement in white collar roles: accounting, marketing, HR, even software development.If AI can do it faster, cheaper, and better... what happens to your team?More importantly—what happens to household formation?We've long talked about site-level disruption: centralization, automation, and AI workflows replacing leasing agents and assistants. But the bigger implication lives inside the corporate headquarters—and it's coming fast. As roles vanish, renter bases shrink. And if you're not building that into your underwriting... you're flying blind.This isn't theory. This is happening now.Whether it's a mop-bot at a racetrack gas station or AI eating code in a SaaS company—task-based automation is here. And the domino effect on the labor market could quietly gut your occupancy strategy if you're not paying attention.Learn why it's no longer enough to ask what your renters do—you need to ask how long AI will let them do it.Like what you hear?

I'm Nina (NINTRADEZ)—a nurse practitioner who was running on fumes working three NP jobs: a Mon–Fri 9–5 remote role, 12-hour night locum/travel shifts, and 12-hour overnight remote coverage. It looked productive on paper, but in real life it was unsustainable.In this episode, I'm breaking down how I replaced that workload with day trading—no hype, no gambling, no “get rich quick” nonsense. I'll walk you through the exact mindset shift and framework that changed everything for me: how I simplified my approach, built rules that fit a real healthcare schedule, locked in risk management, and started trading with structure instead of emotion.If you're a nurse or NP who wants more income without more shifts, this episode is your blueprint.Start here (links & resources):Linktree: https://linktr.ee/nintradezCourses + PDFs: https://payhip.com/nintradezCommunity/Bootcamp: https://whop.com/sniiper-academy/Connect:Business: ninanwoko@gmail.comIG: @NINTRADEZ | X: @NINTRADEZ

This week, Jason is joined by one of the biggest breakout stars in Netflix's reality TV world, Chloe Veitch! Chloe first rose to fame on Too Hot To Handle, quickly becoming a fan favorite with her humor, honesty, and a big personality. She went on to compete on The Circle and later on Perfect Match, and most recently hosting Sneaky Links After Dark, building a reputation as one of the most recognizable faces on Netflix reality universe. Beyond television, Chloe has leveraged her fame into a career as a model, influencer, and content creator, connecting with millions of fans across social media. Chloe opens up about her early dream of pursuing a career in London's West End, how her relationship with money has evolved, and why she used opportunities as a form of escapism growing up. She shares how getting signed to a boutique London agency at 18 — and taking an unpaid modeling job — unexpectedly led to Too Hot to Handle, plus the reality show she almost joined and why she played The Circle more strategically. Chloe breaks down how TV exposure turns into brand deals, the hard lessons she's learned about valuing income, why being single performs better on reality TV, and the one show she would never do again. She also dives into hosting — landing her first job without an audition but needing to sell the concept to Netflix — getting off ADHD medication, controlling the energy in the room, knowing when to walk away from relationships, launching her Big Sister radio segment with the Unwell Network, the power of loyal followers, standing firm on non-negotiables, and the advice she'd give her younger self. Chloe reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

Steve sits down with Jason Hayes, Director of Energy and Environment at the America First Policy Institute, to expose how state agency overreach is harming Michigan's farms, small businesses, and job creators. Hayes breaks down how unelected bureaucrats are using environmental and energy regulations to bypass lawmakers, drive up costs, and make it harder for families to farm, build, and grow businesses in the Great Lakes State. It's a clear-eyed conversation about accountability, local control, and restoring common sense to policies that should serve the people, not suffocate them.

Animals with real jobs • Mine-detecting rats • Working dogs from avalanche rescue to cheetah support • Airport falcons keeping birds away • A legendary cat: Unsinkable Sam

Welcome to 2026, a year I coin “The Year of Enterprise AI.” As you'll read about (and hear about) in our 2026 Imperatives launch, the coming year is all about AI moving from “assistants” to “agents” to “solutions.” And there are three big considerations to ponder. First, the cost of AI is skyrocketing, so we're going to have to focus on high-value use-cases and business-specific solutions. That's not to say AI assistants and meeting summaries are not valuable, but once you start paying by the token you're going to want to go deeper. As we discuss in our new Systemic HR AI Framework, we're sitting on billions of dollars of real business opportunities now, and they go far beyond individual assistants. (We call these Superagents.) And the cost of AI will accelerate this focus. Second, the data center buildout, energy costs, and political issues with data centers will matter. For corporate users this means understanding the underlying “costs” of AI usage (creating a single high powered image uses as much as 25% of the battery in your phone). I point this out to make you aware that these AI chatbots are not “free” – there are acres of computing campuses being built behind the scenes. And that means your “software providers” are turning into capital intensive companies. (And a new industry of data center companies may take over.) (For those of you in the energy industry, it's a wild time – almost as exciting as I've seen since my early days as an energy engineer during the OPEC Arab Oil Embargo in the late 1970s.) Third is the fast-changing issue of AI's accuracy, trust, and voracious appetite for data. As I discuss, the real opportunity for corporate AI is to take this problem head-on, and focus on your company's data quality, governance, human feedback, and data labeling. The big AI labs are struggling to reduce the “Jaggedness” of AI (it's strange ability to be really good at some things and totally dumb about others), and that encourages us to focus on narrow, domain-specific AI applications. And we all need to learn about RLHF (reinforcement learning with human feedback). Our experience with Galileo proves that an AI solution that focuses on a vertical domain can be infinitely more reliable and intelligent than a general purpose AI. But don't let me argue with Sam Altman, you'll have to figure this out yourself :-). We are launching our 2026 Imperatives research the third week of January, and there will be a special release of Galileo to accompany all the study. Our goal is not to give you a bunch of pithy predictions, but rather to give you a dozen hard-hitting “Must Do's” for the year ahead. I look forward to talking with many of your this coming year as we travel around the world, join us in January for the launch of our 2026 Imperatives research.

1. Christmas and Its Religious Significance The discussion begins with warm holiday greetings and reflections on the meaning of Christmas. Emphasis is placed on celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, highlighting its spiritual importance over commercial aspects like gifts and Santa Claus. Ben and the Senator share personal traditions, such as reading Luke Chapter 2 during Christmas dinner, and discuss cultural practices (e.g., Cuban Christmas Eve celebrations with roasted pig vs. vegetarian meals). There’s commentary on a resurgence of faith among younger generations, citing record-breaking Bible sales in 2025. 2. Economic Outlook and Media Bias The conversation shifts to positive economic news: U.S. GDP growth of 4.3% in Q3, the strongest in two years. They argue this growth contradicts negative media predictions and accuse mainstream outlets of political bias. Key points include: Strong consumer spending during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Positive impacts of trade policy, tax cuts, and deregulation under President Trump. Criticism of media framing economic success negatively compared to previous administrations. 3. Welfare Fraud and Systemic Issues Historic fraud in Minnesota’s Medicaid and welfare programs, estimated at $9 billion, and allegations that funds were diverted to terrorist organizations like Al Shabab. Predicting similar fraud in other Democratic-led states (California, New York, Illinois). Wall Street Journal op-ed by Phil Gramm and John Early is mentioned about structural flaws in the U.S. welfare system: Welfare spending has surged 765% over 50 years, now costing $1.4 trillion annually. Many benefits are not counted as income, creating misleading poverty statistics and perpetuating dependency. The argument advocates for welfare reform to encourage work and reduce generational poverty. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
