12-22-25 STEEL NEWS MMTLP The Stock That Was Never Supposed to Trade. Regulators Chose Brokers Over InvestorsFEATURING: The MMTLP community and the Agency Regulators that colluded to leave them with nothing.https://x.com/annvandersteel/status/2002892951899537804?s=20SHOW DESCRIPTIONMMTLP was never supposed to trade.Yet 65,000 investors—including over 200 military veterans—were allowed to buy it… then stripped of the right to sell.In this investigation and video short, Ann Vandersteel exposes how a dividend created during a corporate merger was turned into a tradable ticker, frozen by a sudden U3 halt, and quietly erased—locking families into financial ruin while regulators protected Wall Street.This wasn't a glitch.It was a decision.Behind closed doors, broker-dealer interests, a so-called “independent” regulator, and federal oversight failures converged—leaving everyday Americans trapped in a market that no longer played by its own rules.Retirements were wiped out.Businesses collapsed.Families were destroyed.And to this day, no one has been held accountable.The MMTLP story is not over.This is Steel News where truth survives pressure.Follow: ANN VANDERSTEEL https://AnnVandersteel.comSPONSORS:https://AmericanMadeFoundation.orghttps://AmericanMadeAction.orgHEALTHY FOOD & BEAUTYSUPERFOODS https://VandersteelHealth.comReady to save big on your superfoods purchase?

Mike Zlotnik - Tempo Funding On Investment Advice: "At the end of the day the best risk mitigation strategy is prudent diversification." Investing in real estate is often thought to be a great place to grow your wealth.  But often investors have other things going on and they don't want to deal with tenants, paperwork, searching out properties and all of the headaches that come with doing your own real estate investing. What if there were a way to invest in real estate in other ways?  Investing in the loans other people have on real estate, or investing with a group and getting into large commercial properties with leases that run decades long? Mike Zlotnik started Tempo Funding to help investors grow their money with real estate, without needing to get their hands dirty.  He shares his journey in the tech world to discovering the power of passive real estate investing, buying his first apartment in Brooklyn back in 2000, and growing into large-scale commercial projects like industrial facilities and open-air shopping centers. He explains Tempo Funding's focus on marrying “money and opportunity,” helping individuals, often those who have exited businesses or cashed in on appreciated assets, find reliable income streams backed by real estate. Listen as Mike explains his real estate investing strategies and how they may work for you. Enjoy!

I was doing well, but I was a little burned out. I spent almost 15 years in technology. I had great friends. I liked it. Technology. Felt like I wanted something that I really didn't have to work all the time, something that I can make investment decisions and the money could work for me. So I discovered real estate passively in year 2000, buying my first apartment in Brooklyn. Mike Zlotnik [00:00:25]: And then I continued to buy more and passively.

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in podcast link found at https//:drawincustomers.com We are locally underwritten by the Bank of Sun Prairie, Calls On Call Extraordinary Answering Service as well as the Bold Business Book. And today we're welcoming Slash, preparing to learn from Mike Zlotnick of Temple Funding. That's TF Management Group. Is that safe to say, Mike? Mike Zlotnik [00:01:01]: Yeah, yeah, but the easier way, people call me Big Mike. I am six four. So Big Mike. James Kademan [00:01:05]: Well, you can't tell on the screen, so. All right, that is a. That's a Big Mike. Big Mike, indeed. So, Big Mike, what is Tempo funding? Mike Zlotnik [00:01:15]: We are the best way to describe Tempo funding. We marry money and opportunity. We are a platform for folks with capital to invest, typically in real estate, kind of. I don't want to call myself exactly one trick pony, but I am mostly one trick pony. It's real estate. We have a team, we have organization that focuses real estate projects, industrial, open air shopping, multifamily, et cetera. James Kademan [00:01:42]: Okay. Mike Zlotnik [00:01:42]: And then we have folks with capital who sold businesses, they've sold highly appreciated stock, they sold bitcoin, whatever, they made their money and then now they're looking for steady, predictable income. And that's what we try to bring them. That's kind of what we do for many, many years. James Kademan [00:02:01]: You mentioned steady predictable income. And can you elaborate on that? Because sometimes in the real estate world that's not always the case. Mike Zlotnik [00:02:08]: Yeah, so today the world's changed quite a bit and we really gravitated towards predictability. I literally have an article that I wrote and a video comparing high IRRs versus predictability. Wide majority of people, especially with monetary event where they've got significant lump sum, they're looking for predictability. So what is predictability? So normally it means the assets themselves have a great engine, how they generate predictable income. Take an example, triple net industrial. This is just a simple way to explain. It's right before the call we were talking about made in China versus made in America. Well, there's a renaissance now to build in America. Mike Zlotnik [00:02:50]: Made in America and industrial production in America is welcome. So quite often there are companies that manufacture here and the real estate underneath it gets sold by the owner of the business. They sell the real estate, lease back and stay in that property. So where does predictability come from? Well, that business has been there for 60 years. They sell real estate, they use capital for further investment or to pay their parent company and then it's a mission critical property. And to make long story short, they're there, they have a 20, 25 year lease and it's triple net, meaning that all the expenses, taxes, insurance, everything else is covered by the tenant. So as a landlord you collect rent and every year it goes up between 2 to 3%. So you have high predictability of outcome simply because it's contractually guaranteed with a credit quality tenant with long term lease, with rent escalation clauses, with triple net structure. Mike Zlotnik [00:03:50]: So you're collecting this, you're an equity investor, but you're collecting it like a bond. You get your coupon today, this year. So what does that coupon look like? For example, year one you could start with 7%, maybe even higher. And year two goes up, and year three, it goes up. So it begins to look like a predictable investment because it's so contractually built to be predictable. So you know, initial cash flow, you know, year two cash flow, year three, year four, year five. And then that increased NOI drives forced appreciation. Because in commercial real estate, the price of the asset is a function of net operating income. Mike Zlotnik [00:04:24]: You hear these fancy terms, cap rates. All the cap rates describe is what do you pay per dollar of income. The lower the cap rate, the higher the price per dollar of income. So as interest rates obviously impact cap rates, but in general, the structure itself grows. Niy, if interest rates don't do anything, they stay flat. You're still growing the value of the asset because the NOI is growing. That's a predictable structure. You see these structures in real estate quite a bit. Mike Zlotnik [00:04:50]: And I'll shut up for a second, let you chime in more questions because I can talk on this probably for hours. James Kademan [00:04:55]: No, that's awesome. That's awesome. It's interesting you mentioned real estate that's essentially large scale commercial. It sounds like you're talking manufacturing. Yes, this isn't just the small mom. Mike Zlotnik [00:05:06]: And pop house, it is a manufacturing facility quite often gets bought for $25 million. There are of course bigger projects, but the sweet spot is anywhere from, you know, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, $30 million small manufacturing. I'm not talking about AI data centers that are getting built for a billion dollars, not, not for that. James Kademan [00:05:29]: Okay. I guess, I think as you're talking here, I'm thinking south of me on the north way north of Chicago is Belvedere, Illinois, which has a car manufacturing plant that I think since I've been driving to and from Chicago every once in a while, I want to say that thing has changed hands four or five times. And that thing, that property, I don't know if it's necessarily one building, but that complex, it's probably the size of a small city. Sorry, it sounds like you're getting into stuff that big. Mike Zlotnik [00:06:04]: Not that big, but an example, we do have an asset in New Castle, Indiana, again, Midwest. And it's a, you know, it's called $25 million asset. It is a multi acre property and it produces stainless steel and it's been in that business and that location over 60 years. So that kind of a facility. All right, not a small city, but for that local town, it's a significant manufacturer and industrial facility. James Kademan [00:06:32]: Oh, I bet it's huge. And for something like that. Do you. I mentioned the equipment goes with the building. Just because it took so much to get that equipment in there, it's like an old pool table. To get it out is a big deal. Mike Zlotnik [00:06:45]: They end not moving so effectively you own real estate as an investor, but they've made so many tenant improvements themselves over the years for their own business, plus all the equipment, everything else. They're going to stay there, they're going to continue to.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have four stories for you this week: some GOP senators are pushing back against a potential DJI ban, UAS Nexus is launching a marketplace to solve the Blue UAS component shortage, Inspired Flight and Ascend Engineering are expanding their partnership to boost software for American-made drones, and an M30T Shoot down in Ohio. Let's get to it.First up, the push to ban DJI in the U.S. is facing some unexpected resistance from within the Republican party. According to a report from Politico, a provision to restrict DJI, which was included in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act, was left out of the Senate's version. Senators from agricultural and energy states are raising major concerns. Senator John Boozman of Arkansas pointed out, “They are the primary drone maker in the United States at a reasonable price. This technology is being used more and more… That's the crux of the problem.”This all comes as a critical deadline approaches on December 23rd. Under last year's NDAA, a federal security agency is supposed to determine if DJI poses a national security risk. If no agency conducts that audit by the deadline, DJI automatically gets added to the FCC's Covered List, which would ban new products from entering the U.S. market. The problem is, no agency has stepped up to actually do the audit. Next up, a Salt Lake City engineering firm called UAS Nexus is launching a new venture to tackle a huge problem: the Blue UAS supply chain. The company just launched the Drone Syndicate Store, which is a curated marketplace for NDAA and Blue UAS-compliant components. This is a big deal because while everyone talks about building American drones, finding all the individual, compliant parts, from motors to radios, is a massive headache for manufacturers. Next, Inspired Flight Technologies, or IFT, is expanding its partnership with a software firm called Ascend Engineering. IFT is a U.S. manufacturer of NDAA-compliant and Blue UAS-listed drones, and this partnership is all about beefing up their software capabilities. Ascend Engineering specializes in UAV software, and they've been working with IFT for two years on their Inspired Ground Control, or IGC, platform. IGC is the central hub for mission planning, in-flight management, and payload integration.Together, they've already pushed out several updates to the IGC software, improved the NTRIP framework for better connectivity, and added advanced payload features. According to IFT, this partnership accelerates their "software-enabled hardware strategy." This is so important because a drone is more than just its hardware. The software that runs it has to be secure, intuitive, and powerful. By focusing on building out their own software suite with a dedicated partner, IFT is working to create a complete, mission-ready system that is fully made in America. Last up, an M30T was shot down this week in Ohio. While flying, he experienced what he thought was a fly away, and called the police to notify them that the drone was flying away. Shortly after, the police returned his call to say someone reported finding a drone. The pilot met up with the reporting party, who said “I shot it down”.

The Defense Department's Blue UAS program maintains an ever-expanding index of commercial drones that are meant to be devoid of components from adversary nations including China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea, and endorsed for speedier purchasing by U.S. military buyers. This list of compliant options is growing rapidly in late 2025 as the government moves to incentivize the adoption of more affordable U.S.-made drone products for modern military operations, and simultaneously reduce the nation's reliance on foreign supply chains. Blue UAS also marks a key feature of the second Trump administration's plan for “unleashing American drone dominance.” However, multiple sources told DefenseScoop this month that the majority of the unmanned aerial systems cleared through this effort have motors that are sourced in China. One former senior defense official who was granted anonymity to speak freely said: “It's a big enough problem that we should do something. If you don't have motors, you can't fly a drone.” They added: “And I think if you had to pick the top three [Chinese components that are currently in Blue UAS-approved platforms], it would be the motors, the batteries and the electric speed controllers — if you want to call them, like, ‘dumb' parts.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is asking the Trump administration to detail any plans it has to subsidize AI companies, alleging that OpenAI might be positioning itself for such relief, despite denials by its leadership. Warren's Tuesday letter comes as the ChatGPT owner has faced questions in recent weeks about the health of its finances and whether it's becoming so enmeshed in the U.S. economy that the federal government should or would prevent its failure — in other words, whether it's become “too big to fail.” The speculation was enough to elicit a response from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who earlier this month pushed back on the theories in a social media post and said the company should not be bailed out in the event of failure. Yet, Warren is still seeking information about any potential plans by the government to “prop up” the company, arguing OpenAI's decisions paint a different picture. Warrend wrote: “While Mr. Altman has claimed that the company is not looking for a ‘bail out,' OpenAI's actions suggest that it may be pursuing a deliberate strategy to entangle itself with the federal government and the broader economy so the government has no choice but to step in with public funds. We have seen this before: take on enough debt, make enough risky bets, and then demand a taxpayer bailout when those bets go south so the economy does not crash.” The letter was addressed to White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios, and asks for assurances that the administration will not bail out OpenAI or any of its competitors should they fail.

Did American eugenics really fuel the murderous euthanasia programs of the Nazis? Yes, according to Susanne Paola Antonetta, author of The Devil's Castle, a history of Nazi eugenics and euthanasia. According to Antonetta, pioneering American eugenicists not only influenced Nazi thinking—Hitler himself corresponded with them and praised U.S. sterilization laws in Mein Kampf—but the New York City-based Carnegie Institute proposed gas chambers in 1918 as one solution for dealing with what eugenicists called the ‘hereditarily tainted' population. While Germany's response was uniquely brutal, Antonetta argues that American psychiatric thinking provided the conceptual framework for deciding whose lives had value and whose didn't. Moreover, the notorious Nazi Aktion T4 euthanasia program killed 300,000 people with neuropsychiatric disorders, yet it was never properly prosecuted by the Americans at Nuremberg and remains largely unknown today.1. American Eugenics Provided the Blueprint The U.S. passed sterilization laws in 1907—decades before Germany's 1933 laws. Hitler praised American eugenics in Mein Kampf, American eugenicists taught in Germany, and the Carnegie Institute proposed gas chambers in 1918 for the “hereditarily tainted.” The conceptual architecture was Made in America.2. Action T4 Killed 300,000 and Was Never Prosecuted The Nazi euthanasia program murdered roughly 300,000 people with neuropsychiatric disorders in gas chambers built into asylums. Because Nuremberg only tried international crimes—not crimes against a nation's own citizens—this program escaped proper legal reckoning and remains largely unknown.3. Doctors Could Say No—But Didn't Some asylum doctors, like Carl Kleist, simply refused to participate in T4 and faced no punishment. This makes the complicity of other doctors—many of them idealistic, not monsters—more damning. The system allowed for refusal; most chose collaboration.4. Psychiatry Still Assigns Value to Lives Antonetta argues that psychiatry's troubled legacy persists: rigid diagnostic categories inherited from German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin, neurotransmitter theories that haven't improved outcomes, and a system that still decides whose consciousness has value. The DSM itself was created by self-described “neo-Kraepelinians.”5. Neurodiversity Is the New Civil Rights Frontier From autism to schizophrenia, our public discourse about neurodiversity remains “relentlessly negative.” As CRISPR and gene editing become reality, Antonetta warns we're facing the same eugenic questions—but now with the tools to act on them. We need more honest and nuanced conversations about different forms of consciousness before we start editing them out.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Leslie welcomes back Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, for a preview of the newly released 2025 'Made in America Holiday Gift Guide.' (link: https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/the-2025-made-in-america-holiday-gift-guide/)   This year's guide makes it easier than ever for shoppers to find U.S.-made products and support American workers this holiday season. New polling released with the Gift Guide shows overwhelming demand for locally made goods, with 81% of Americans saying they're as likely or more likely to buy American-made products this year. The vast majority (83%) of shoppers say they would buy more Made in USA goods if these products were more widely available. The Gift Guide bridges that gap, connecting consumers with the craftsmanship, quality and well-paid jobs that come from buying Made in America. In its 12th year, the 2025 Guide features 148 manufacturers and makers from across all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. There's an American-made gift for everyone, with finds ranging from model airplane kits and stocking stuffers to jewelry and grills. Shoppers can browse the guide by state or product category, and a new segment this year highlights brick-and-mortar stores specializing in state-made goods for in-person shopping. Additionally, AAM's Made in America Directory spotlights 873 companies and their products that are not featured in this year's Guide. Leslie and Scott highlight five of the companies and their gift offerings for just a taste of the guide.  Here they are: 1 - WicR Have you always wanted to be a plant parent but were too scared you'd forget to water them every day? Fear no more: WicR is a self-watering product that makes it a lot easier. All you have to do is place the WicR at the bottom of your pot, cover it with soil, and place your plant in. Then, after an initial watering, the WicR will self-water your plant for seven to ten days. A game-changer for plant care! 2 -  Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare draws from its surrounding beauty in Cordova, Alaska, to enhance the quality of the products they make there. This company sources glacial minerals and botanicals for gentle but effective formulas, and all its products are vegan and cruelty-free. Its energy-efficient facility operates on 60-80% community hydropower, and the Certified B Corps company prides itself on a commitment to sustainability. Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare donates 2% of its revenues to organizations that protect the Alaskan environment, such as the Copper River Watershed Project.  3 - Made-Plus Footwear The vast majority of footwear today is imported. But Alan Guyan, an alum of Under Armour's shoe division, saw an opportunity to do things differently. That's why he started Made+, a luxury athletic shoe brand based in Annapolis. All the shoes are made with 100% recycled yarn — and that yarn is made from repurposed plastic water bottles. These shoes come in all sorts of designs; they even sell shoes specially designed for pickleball. If you're looking to replace those athletic shoes, Made+ is an incredible choice. (And check out their in-person storefront if you're near Annapolis!) Lastly, be sure to check out AAM's blog post featuring Made+ from last month, where you can find on their website at AmericanManufacturing.org/blog 4 - High Strung Studios For the music lover on your list, High Strung Studios hits all the right notes. This woman-owned business transforms real guitar strings into beautiful, handcrafted jewelry made right here in the USA. Each bracelet, necklace, and pair of earrings carries a touch of rhythm and a whole lot of heart, making them perfect for anyone who finds joy in a good song. Thoughtful, unique, and full of holiday cheer, these gifts truly strike a chord. 5 - Cycle Dog Bring some wag-worthy joy to the holidays with Cycle Dog, a woman-owned company in Portland, making eco-friendly gear for dogs who love to play. Every collar, leash, toy and bed is crafted in the USA using recycled materials, keeping millions of inner tubes and bottles out of landfills. Durable, sustainable and made by a team of passionate makers (and their pups), these gifts are perfect for anyone who wants to spoil their dog, spread a little holiday cheer, and do good for the planet all at once. Lastly, Leslie and Scott talk about Project MFG. What's Project MFG?  Think Top Chef — but for welders, machinists and engineers. Ray Dick, founder of Project MFG and creator of the YouTube reality show 'Clash of Trades,' is inspiring the next generation of manufacturers through hands-on competition and community engagement. AAM's website is AmericanManufacturing.org and their YouTube channel is youtube.com/@AmericanMfg (where you can watch episode's of AAM's podcast, "The Manufacturing Report") If you want to listen to episodes of "The Manufacturing Report," visit AmericanManufacturing.org/Podcast.

Lou turns to a major cultural and economic shift: the revival of “Made in America.” He looks at how major retailers like Walmart are embracing U.S.-made products again, driven by a public moving away from the “cheapest possible” mindset and toward valuing quality, durability, and national pride. Lou explores why American-made goods are surging back into style during President Trump’s second term and what this shift reveals about consumers’ changing priorities. He also breaks down how buying domestically keeps wealth circulating within our own economy, strengthening national independence and improving overall safety. Lou closes the hour by tying together the broader implications of this renewed focus on American manufacturing and what it means for the country moving forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you ask Omar Coffee CEO Nicolas Bokron how to run a successful, fourth-generation business, he'll tell you about the core values posted on the walls around his company. “Trust, not tricks” is one of them. “Generally, the coffee business is about on-going relationships, so it's very important to take care of issues and make them right,” Bokron said. “People need to trust and rely on you.” Bokron recently sat down to talk about all things coffee—and his family's always-evolving 88-year-old business—with first-time CBIA BizCast guest host Ari Santiago, well-known for his Made in America podcast series. Founded in 1937 by Bokron's great-grandfather John Costas, Omar Coffee started in Hartford's South End. Over the years, it gradually grew into a regional company that roasts raw coffee beans, then sells, packs and distributes them to customers throughout the Northeast and beyond. Omar also provides and services coffee brewing equipment for food service establishments. On the retail side, Omar sells its coffee online. “We'll give you everything you need to get set up and get brewing so you can sell coffee by the cup,” Bokron said. In line with its business culture and family values, Bokron says when it comes to hiring new employees, the first thing the company looks for is character. “If someone has the right attitude, shows up at the right time, day in and day out, and they're reliable, then we'll try to give them the appropriate skills, whether its manufacturing, sales, or service,” he said. The family's values and strong culture built on hard work and integrity run deep at Omar. “We're big believers of training from within,” he said. “There are people who work at Omar now whose parents worked for my grandfather. “They share the same connection and affinity to the business because it means more to them than just a job.” When it comes to keeping a family business evolving with the times—and staying competitive regardless of industry trends—Bokron said he's learned to maintain a long-term perspective. “My grandfather taught me you just sort of have to remain steady,” he said. “Good things are going to happen, and bad things are going to happen. “So I feel like it's my responsibility to take the information in, try to solve the problems, and remain cool, calm and collected. “I mean after all we're making coffee here. We have to remain steady because we have a long-term focus.” Related Links Omar Coffee Website: https://www.omarcoffee.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/omar-coffee-company/ Nicholas Bokron LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-bokron-09a0a823/ Made in America Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/c/MadeinAmericaPodcastwithAri Made in America Podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/made-in-america-podcast-with-ari/ Ari Santiago LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/asantiago104/ CBIA Website: https://www.cbia.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cbia/ The CBIA BizCast is made possible through the generous support of Google.

In this week's Talk Dirt To Me, we open with a hard-hitting conversation every patriot needs to hear. Have we lost our American identity? Once upon a time, we all stood united under one flag. Today, it feels like that unity's slipping away. But make no mistake, we're still proud to be Americans, and we're not afraid to say it loud! After diving deep into that discussion, we read a batch of listener emails covering everything from China trade deals and their real impact on current farm prices, to a Canadian cattleman's startup costs, and even a listener asking, "What are the must-haves in a truck toolbox?" To top it off, our Made in America spotlight goes to one of the toughest, most iconic gym brands in the country, Texas Power Bars. Built to last, Made in Texas.

Featuring: Dave Kalin https://davidekalin.com/Show Description:In this explosive episode of Steel News, Ann Vandersteel interviews Dave Kalin, former Charlotte County GOP Chair and one-time candidate for Supervisor of Elections in Charlotte County, Florida. Kalin exposes what he calls a systematic purge of America First leadership across Florida, orchestrated by the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) itself.After transforming his local REC into a model of community engagement and election-transparency, Kalin was abruptly terminated by the state party — even after he attempted to resign honorably. His story mirrors what's happening in counties across Florida, from Manatee to Broward, where local constitutional conservatives are being removed, silenced, or replaced.With new clarity on his candidacy status — Kalin ran in the 2024 cycle and has not yet qualified for the 2026 cycle — the issue becomes: is the RPOF betraying its grassroots base and violating its own charter? Or is this part of a deeper effort to undermine election integrity and control Florida's political future from the top down?Ann and Dave cut through the noise to reveal who's behind these moves, whether they're legal, and what Floridians can do right now to reclaim their Republican Party and safeguard our elections.Follow Ann Vandersteel on Pickax: https://pickax.com/annvandersteel Presented in partnership with: American Made Foundation & American Made Actionhttps://AmericanMadeFoundation.orghttps://AmericanMadeAction.orgFollow: ANN VANDERSTEEL https://AnnVandersteel.comSPONSORS:GOLD & SILVER IRA'S – IT'S A “GOLDEN AGE” – President TrumpAUGUSTA PRECIOUS METALS call 1-888-782-9064If you have $50,000 or more saved for retirement, call 1-888-782-9064 and secure your free guide to gold IRAs from Augusta Precious Metals.https://learn.augustapreciousmetals.com/vandersteel/?apmtrkr_cid=1696&aff_id=4013&apmtrkr_cph=888-782-9064HEALTHY FOOD & BEAUTYSUPERFOODS https://VandersteelHealth.comReady to save big on your superfoods purchase?

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Thursday, November 6, 2025. #1 – From WV STATE PARKS - Ride Through the Sky to Pipestem's Mountain Creek Lodge At Pipestem Resort State Park, visitors can stay riverside at Mountain Creek Lodge — but it's accessible only by an aerial tram that travels nearly 3,500 feet from the canyon rim down into the Bluestone Gorge. The newly reopened tram system, re-imagined and ADA-accessible, blends innovation and nature and reinforces West Virginia's outdoor-destination appeal. The lodge and tram experience highlight how the Mountain State is transforming its natural assets into unique tourism opportunities.

With steel sourced from the U.S. and a skilled workforce that honors tradition, the company embodies the "made in America" ethos and underscores the strength of manufacturing in the Mountain State. Their ongoing success is a reminder that innovation and durability — forged in place — remain vital to West Virginia's economic story.

By reducing the cost burden on parents and stabilizing the revenue for providers, the model helps employers retain workers and helps families return to the workforce — especially in regions facing child-care deserts. West Virginia's pilot program is being watched nationally as a blueprint for how public-private collaboration can address workforce participation and economic stability.

We're joined in studio by Ben and Jermain from Goodranchers for a real, unfiltered conversation about the truth behind American beef. We dive deep into the debate of grass-finished versus grain-finished and uncover why grain-finished beef not only tastes better but Biblically is better quality. The guys also shed light on the growing disconnect between the average consumer and American agriculture, revealing how labels in the grocery store often deceive shoppers about where their beef actually comes from. It's a wake-up call for anyone who cares about what's really on their plate. Ben and Jermain share the powerful story of how Goodranchers began and how faith and obedience to God's calling turned their vision into one of the most impactful Made in America companies in the beef industry. When God tells you to do something, you do it and this episode proves why. This is a powerful, faith-driven discussion that blends truth, grit, and conviction showing how faith and hard work can change the food industry from the ground up.

It's October 30th. This day (technically November 2nd) in 1982, a Honda Accord rolls off the assembly line at a new plant in Marysville, Ohio -- the first Japanese car made by American workers.Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the rise of Japanese auto manufacturing throuhgout the 1970s, the arguments over protectionism and American manufacturing that arose as a result -- and the compomise during the Reagan era to have the automakers build plants in the United States.Sign up for our America250 Watch newsletter, where you'll also get links and lots more historical tidbits.https://thisdaypod.substack.com/Find out more about the show at thisdaypod.comThis Day In Esoteric Political History is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.Your support helps foster independent, artist-owned podcasts and award-winning stories.If you want to support the show directly, you can do so on our website: ThisDayPod.comGet in touch if you have any ideas for future topics, or just want to say hello.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 29, 2025. 0:30 We unpack revelations that dozens of Biden’s executive actions — even some presidential pardons — may have been signed not by the president himself, but by an auto-pen. We trace the implications of this puppet presidency, where unelected handlers allegedly assumed the powers of the Oval Office. From Alexander Haig’s infamous “I’m in charge” moment to Mike Johnson’s firsthand account of Biden denying his own executive order, the discussion exposes a constitutional crisis — one that raises the chilling question: If Biden wasn’t governing, who was? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The House oversight committee said this week that at least some of Joe Biden's autopen signatures are not valid, which would undo many pardons and executive orders which were signed with the autopen. President Trump met with the new Conservative Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi yesterday.At their meeting, they signed a trade deal lowering bilateral tariffs to 15% and pledging more cooperation in rare-earth minerals. Democrats in the US Senate have blocked the reopening of the Federal Government again.For the 13th Time, Democrats led by Senator Chuck Schumer voted in almost complete unison against the clean continuing resolution bill that would have funded the military, paid government employees and fund SNAP benefits. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 It’s not just about microchips — it’s about America. We break down Nvidia’s blockbuster announcement: seven new supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy, powered by 100,000 chips made in America. We connect the dots between Donald Trump’s promise to restore American manufacturing and a long-overdue comeback for U.S. industry. 16:00 We ask our American Mamas about a Halloween trend that has crossed the line. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to reports of people dressing up as the assassinated Charlie Kirk — complete with fake blood and mock “Freedom” shirts — and their asking what has happened to empathy and decency in our culture? We unpack the grotesque mockery, the social media applause fueling it, and the deeper spiritual sickness it reveals. Yet amid the outrage, we find a glimmer of hope — that what was meant for evil might still awaken hearts, spark conviction, and remind parents to teach their children compassion, not cruelty. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told NCAA champion Riley Gaines to “get a real job,” the backlash was swift — and heartfelt. We take a look at AOC’s dismissive comment and the deeper cultural divide it exposes about work and motherhood. 26:30 Nearly half of America’s state attorneys general are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the birthright citizenship case — and they’re standing behind President Trump’s executive order to end automatic citizenship for children born to parents in the country illegally. We Dig Deep into the legal, historical, and moral arguments behind the 14th Amendment, tracing its roots back to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the congressional debates that shaped it. From “birth tourism” to constitutional intent, this discussion dives into what citizenship truly means — and why it should never be a reward for breaking the law. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Something’s stirring in the heart of America — a renewed openness about faith. We reflect on a surprising and uplifting trend: more public figures, from commentators to professional athletes, are unapologetically sharing their belief in God. When New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields says he’s “low key addicted to reading [his] Bible every day,” it’s more than a soundbite — it’s a sign of cultural momentum. We unpack what this growing revival says about America’s roots, our hunger for truth, and the timeless reminder that our rights come from God, not government. 36:30 There’s a new bill in Ohio that’s sparking national attention, and it's a Bright Spot. The Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act would allow teachers from kindergarten through college to discuss Christianity’s influence on American history and culture. We break down how faith shaped the nation’s founding ideals — from the Declaration of Independence to the first schoolhouses that taught children to read from the Bible. Removing this history has left America divided and adrift, while restoring it could help heal the nation’s soul. Named in honor of Charlie Kirk, the bill is described as both a tribute to his legacy and a blueprint for renewal in classrooms across the country. 40:30 New York Assemblyman Zoran Mamdani is under fire for fabricating a personal story about his so-called “aunt” to bolster his image as a victim of post-9/11 prejudice. The incident fits a troubling pattern of misinformation and moral grandstanding on the left. And we're left wondering how any New Yorker could continue to support a candidate who’s been caught bending the truth for sympathy and power. It's time to say, "whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with Natalie Gravile, a woman who finish the Ironman Traithlon in Hawaii at 80-years-old.

What does it really take to help manufacturers grow? It's not just about cutting costs or chasing margins. It's about understanding how capital really moves through your business. In this episode, we're sitting down with Erik Skie, Jon Hughes, and Aaron Traut from CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) for a roundtable chat over beers (in spirit, if not literally).We talk about why profitability is a decision, how to tell your story through your financials, and what manufacturers can do to attract capital and fuel real growth.We also discuss opportunities like bonus depreciation and the Made in America initiative, giving manufacturers timely insights they can act on right now.In this episode, find out:Why most manufacturers focus on price and cost but overlook capacity, and how filling unused capacity can unlock new profit.How profitability is a decision, not just an outcome, and how daily choices around people, machines, and space shape your results.Why you don't manage financial statements; you manage the shop floor activities that create strong financials.How staying financially organized builds lender confidence through accurate books and clear storytelling.Why looking inside your business before seeking outside funding can uncover hidden capital in cash flow and working capital.How telling a clear, confident financial story helps your company stand out to banks and investors.And why when you get the fundamentals right, opportunity finds you. Capital naturally flows to disciplined, efficient manufacturers.Enjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps.

There's a time travel theme to this latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, starting with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Quite the story behind this, too. The distributor going bankrupt just as the movie was being finished, the year-long delay to its release, the audition that threw Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter together...? There's quite the story behind it all. In the early 2010s too, one interview ignited a whole conversation about a possible Doctor Who movie, around the era when Matt Smith was in the TARDIS. In theory, this would have been made in America, seperate to the TV show that was being put together in Wales. Things, er, went awry... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ever wonder if you can truly compete with overseas manufacturing from right here in the U.S.? In this rerun episode, I sit down with David Heacock, CEO of Filterbuy.com. David shares how he grew a family business into a $250M powerhouse, all while keeping production entirely on U.S. soil. Listen in as David walks us through how he reverse-engineered a product line that could thrive domestically, why logistics are his real competitive advantage, and how he scaled from a rough startup phase to a massive manufacturing and distribution network. We also dive into his early bets on Amazon, his thoughtful approach to leadership, and what building a sustainable legacy looks like in today's shifting economy.
