More Americans than ever are looking to relocate overseas. Their motivations are numerous. Portugal has created a special visa - the Golden Visa - to attract foreign investors and many Americans are attracted to it.

More Americans are leaving the labor force for a variety of reasons. The labor force participation rate — which measures the share of working-age Americans who either have a job or are looking for a job — has fallen sharply this year, and it's been on a steady decline for decades. We hear from Kris Bell, who recently retired early from a long career in the tech industry, about why he chose to make the leap.

And what's the best way to go about it?More Americans are packing up and relocating abroad, and we dig into what makes a place feel safe, walkable, healthy, and genuinely enjoyable day to day. We compare two helpful lenses for choosing a destination: global livability rankings (think Copenhagen, Vienna, Melbourne, Tokyo) and expat friendliness lists that spotlight surprising standouts like Taiwan, Cambodia, Bahrain, and Oman, alongside familiar favorites like Portugal and Canada.We're joined by Darren Johnston from Send My Bag, a company that helps people relocate by shipping millions of bags worldwide. We talk through a simple expat move checklist: deciding what to keep versus sell, planning baggage and shipping, and thinking early about pets. Then we zoom into the first week after arrival, when you need local cash, groceries, bedding, and the basics that turn an empty place into a functioning home.We also cover the essentials that keep a move overseas from spiraling: staying connected with eSIMs, setting up finances with a realistic three-to-six-month buffer, navigating slow bureaucracy, and building community through expat groups, local clubs, and everyday routines. Darren shares travel memories of Rome and his pull toward Tokyo, reminding us that the best relocation plans still start with curiosity. **Darren Johnston is a relocation expert at Send My Bag, an international luggage shipping and relocation platform.

More Americans are using Marijuana daily then are smoking cigarettes. More Americans are using Marijuana daily then are drinking alcohol of any kind. Approximately 22 million Americans use marijuana on a daily basis, so says the SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA). 22 million Americans! Every day! By comparison, 20 million Americans smoke cigarettes (horrendous) and at least 17 million Americans consume alcohol on a daily basis. However, the larger and more disastrous figure is that some 44 million Americans use cannabis on a regular basis while 36 million Americans smoke cigarettes on a regular basis (not necessarily daily). There has been a 21% increase in the DAILY USE of pot/weed from 2022 to 2025, driven by young adults aged 18-25 who made up 8.4 million of the regular cannabis users. What a horrible, frightening, potentially lifelong disastrous use of a potent drug, which so many think is really, for the most part, harmless. The reality is marijuana is a potent, brain-changing drug which, when overused, can have disastrous and lifelong horrendous effects on the body and brain of the user. Amazingly, the Department of Justice recently re-classified medical cannabis (marijuana use for medical purposes) into the same category as Tylenol. Currently, there are 24 states in which the recreational use of marijuana is legalized, and more states are considering the same permissive behavior, while a total of 41 American states approve the use of medical cannabis for medicinal use! This potent drug is here to stay. 2 The newly grown marijuana now has a considerably more potent effect, a greater high, and a more addictive effect on the user. As a result, medical emergencies related to marijuana use have skyrocketed and rates of addiction have increased by 30% in recent years. Teenagers who use cannabis more than double their chances of suffering from serious psychotic disorders, including bipolar conditions and schizophrenia. It is much easier for a young person, a teenager or one in their early 20s, to become hooked, truly addicted to the use of this extremely dangerous drug. This addiction, where the use of marijuana becomes an integral part of the user, can last a lifetime. Even if not addicted, the user can have a daily and constant NEED FOR WEED, or surely a very strong desire to smoke the marijuana joint. Want and need are simply lesser forms of addiction, and marijuana use then becomes part of the lifestyle of the user in a permanent way. The current data on cannabis use should be a public health wake up call to government regulators, law makers, and certainly parents and adults, and all those who do not use marijuana in any form, to re-examine the drug, the potentially lethal drug, and re-consider regulation and rules for usage, and even the ban the use of cannabis where it may become necessary to do so. One cannabis expert said the following: “MARIJUANA IS ON TRACK TO BECOME AMERICA'S #1 ADDICTION, AND WASHINGTON (AND THE STATES) IS LOOKING THE OTHER WAY.” Yet another expert stated the following: “THE ADDICTION INDUSTRY HAS ENGINEERED A PRODUCT THAT OUT-ADDICTS THE CIGARETTE, THE DEADLIEST CONSUMER PRODUCT IN AMERICAN HISTORY!” More people now use marijuana every single day then smoke cigarettes every day. Almost 40% of all cannabis users are hooked, addicted, and our younger generation especially is being enrolled in the daily habit and use of marijuana before their brains are even fully developed. The drug can retard maturation of the brain or otherwise permanently damage this incredible organ of the human body for a lifetime. Marijuana is not the harmless plant the addiction industry has told us it is. It can be every bit as harmless as tobacco and the cigarette, the deadliest consumer product in American history. 3 Marijuana users argue it is not as harmful or addictive as cocaine. That may be so, but that is no justification for allowing the unregulated and unfettered use of a drug dangerous in and of itself. Nor is it, these users say, nearly as addictive as crack cocaine. Certainly, they say, it is not as addictive as heroin in terms of daily usage, and the use of pot/weed can not be compared to the disastrous, legal effects of the new drug fentanyl, a killer drug in its own right. This may all be true, but again, it can not begin to justify the use of a drug which is potentially inherently dangerous in and of itself. Marijuana users, scrambling for justification of use of the drug, claim that most Americans, virtually all, use drugs of some kind or another every day, such as with the use of caffeine in coffee, tea, and other products. Americans need that, pot justifiers say. Americans also need OVER THE COUNTER (OTC) drugs, such as aspirin, Advil, and even vitamins, just like the need to smoke pot. Americans use tobacco in some form, or drink alcohol in some form, virtually every day or on a regular basis, and they claim the recommendation that two glasses of wine each day may be good for cardiovascular health and issues can create a low form of addiction, even as they proclaim the so-called benefits of the use of medical marijuana. Pot users are determined to keep the use of this potent drug legal, so as to allow the usage of cannabis without criminal effects for recreational or medical use. The new reality is neither recreational nor medical use may be necessary, beneficial, or in any way justified. The bottom line, my fellow Americans, is that, in my opinion at least, marijuana should not be used in any form, even to alleviate pain, for the side effects, the after effects, like oxycodone, can last lifelong and with really negative effects. SAY NO TO POT! What do you think?

More Americans are exiting the workforce entirely rather than searching for new jobs, with many citing a job market that has simply worn them down.

More Americans have been getting news from social media like YouTube and Instagram, and more on the left and the right want news that's to the left or to the right. We talk with Jesse Holcomb, a journalism and communications professor at Calvin University, about what the impacts could be.

* More Americans have been getting news from social media like YouTube and Instagram, and more on the left and the right want news that's to the left or to the right. We'll talk with Jesse Holcomb, a journalism professor at Calvin University, about what the impacts could be. * More and more state officials and politicians have signed NDAs amid economic development talks…but some are backing out now. Is it a good practice to land business, or does it just make government less accountable and transparent?

Most of the folks at Fox News last week looked like they would rather endure a drug-free root canal performed by a trained chimpanzee than talk about Trump's disastrous war in Iran. The conflict that was supposed to be over in a matter of weeks has dragged on for months with no real end in sight.More American troops have paid the ultimate sacrifice as Iran managed to strike U.S. a military base in Jordan. As soon as the first retaliatory strike was launched at an Iranian target gas prices spiked.As the midterm elections loom Trump is dropping like a stone in the polls. Most of the president's campaign promises have not materialized as grocery prices remain stubbornly high, mortgage rates have spiked, Black and Latino unemployment are higher now than when Trump started his second term, the national debt has increasedand residential electricity rates have gone up in nearly every state.The war in the Middle East will only make everything worse for Trump as it has caused an increase in the price of petroleum-based fuels along with fertilizer. His plan to add additional tariffs to nearly every country on planet earth won't ease the affordability crisis.The president continues to boast to the American public about a booming stock market, but the average citizen won't touch most of their investments until retirement. The gains they might see in their 401(k) plans, IRAs or stock portfolios are just Monopoly money until they sell.Trump is slowly sinking a ship he managed to pull out of the depths of his party's losses in 2020 and the riot on January 6th.Last week Fox News hosts openly called the war unpopular and questioned how the so called decimated Iranian military was able to strike U.S. targets. Jesse Watters was the only Fox News hosts who has not lost faith. Even Sean Hannity couldn't muster much enthusiasm for the conflict.Producers at The Five decided the war wasn't even worth covering so it wasn't mentioned for most of the week. Laura Ingraham spent more time discussing the woke leadership at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.The network put far more focus on trashing Democrats last week than covering a regional Middle East conflict that could spiral out of control at any moment.

Original Air Date: July 4, 2026 Episode Number: 466Episode SummaryIt's the annual Home In Progress Fourth of July Extravaganza. This year Dan covers three topics connected to the Revolutionary era: the Liberty Bell, and how almost everything most people think they know about it is a little off; colonial curb appeal, what colors those front doors actually were, and why any of that matters for your house today; and the real story of Betsy Ross -- not the polished legend, but the full picture of a feisty, independent tradeswoman who kept getting knocked down and kept getting back up. Better than the myth. More American, too.In This Episode[00:00] -- Fourth of July Kickoff[00:34] -- Liberty Bell Origins[01:45] -- Revolution Myths Debunked[03:09] -- The Bell Was a Lemon[04:44] -- How It Got Its Name[05:41] -- Break[06:39] -- Colonial Curb Appeal[08:07] -- Real Colonial House Colors[10:02] -- Paint Forensics Explained[13:23] -- Classic Door Color Palette[16:55] -- Why Door Color Still Matters[18:38] -- Paint Project Payoff[19:23] -- Betsy Ross Legend Setup[19:59] -- 1776 Flag Shop Scene[23:59] -- Meet Elizabeth Griscom[24:38] -- Trade Skills and Elopement[29:16] -- Widowhood and Resilience[31:57] -- Washington Bed Hangings Proof[34:29] -- Did She Make the First Flag[35:51] -- Why the Myth Spread[37:34] -- Real Betsy Ross Legacy[39:31] -- Fourth of July SignoffTHE LIBERTY BELLLiberty Bell Origins [00:34]Most people can picture the Liberty Bell -- big bronze bell, long jagged crack running up the side. Most people also have the story at least a little wrong.The bell was not made for the Revolution. It was ordered in 1751, a full 25 years before the Declaration of Independence, for the Pennsylvania State House. The most likely occasion was the 50th anniversary of Pennsylvania's original constitution, a document called the Charter of Privileges, written by William Penn in 1701.It happened to be in the Pennsylvania State House -- the building we now call Independence Hall -- when the Declaration of Independence was debated and adopted. It was there. So was dirt. Nobody's made a monument out of that either.Revolution Myths Debunked [01:45]There's a story that the Liberty Bell rang out to call people to the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. Dan loves that story. Historians do not. No evidence supports it, and the general conclusion is that it was made up.The Bell Was a Lemon [03:09]The bell was ordered from a London foundry, shipped to Philadelphia, unpacked, and rung for the first time. On that first ring, it cracked. Two Philadelphia metalworkers -- John Pass and John Stow -- offered to fix it. They melted it down and cast a new one. That one didn't sound right. They melted it down again and cast another. The bell we know today is that second attempt. Three tries, two complete restarts.How It Got Its Name [04:44]For most of its existence, the bell was called the State House Bell or the Bell in the Steeple. The name Liberty Bell first appeared not during the Revolution but in abolitionist circles in the 1830s. People fighting to end slavery noticed a verse from Leviticus engraved on the bell: "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all inhabitants thereof." They claimed it as their symbol and renamed it the Liberty Bell. The name eventually stuck.The Liberty Bell, in other words, is named for a fight that came decades after the Revolution ended.COLONIAL FRONT DOORSColonial Curb Appeal [06:39]In late 1700s New England, a lot of homeowners put their money, skill, and creativity almost exclusively into the front of the house. The face you showed the road. That side got clapboard siding, embellishments around the windows and doors, and paint. The sides and the back were often covered in rougher shingles and left to weather -- going gray, brown, silver in the salt air, depending on the climate. Nobody who mattered was looking at the back of the house. That's where the family went. The important people came to the front.Real Colonial House Colors [08:07]Most people picture colonial houses as white. White is part of the story but not the whole story. In the late 1700s, a clapboard house might be white or off-white if the owner had money, but it might just as easily be red-brown, yellow ochre, gray, or tan -- or just left to weather, particularly on simpler rural homes.The one place that almost always got paint, even when the rest of the house didn't, was the front door. It was the place to make a statement without the expense of painting an entire house. That was true 250 years ago and it's still true today.Paint Forensics Explained [10:02]How do we actually know what colors colonial houses were painted? The original paint is buried under 20 coats applied over two centuries, and old paintings of the buildings can't be trusted -- the artist may have taken liberties, and the pigments in the paintings fade over time.The answer is cross-section microscopy. A conservator finds a protected spot where old paint survived -- behind a shutter hinge, under a piece of molding -- and takes a sample smaller than the head of a pin. That sample gets set in clear resin, polished down, and examined from the side under a microscope. Every coat of paint the building ever wore shows up as its own distinct layer. Count down to the very first one, identify the pigments, adjust for yellowing and fading, and you know the original color.The man who pioneered this in America is Frank Welsh. He's read the paint on Independence Hall, the White House, and Grand Central Terminal, and saved over 50,000 samples in his career. In the 1980s and '90s, Colonial Williamsburg brought him in to study their historic buildings -- and what he found turned everything upside down.For decades, people assumed colonial colors were soft, muted, grayed down. Turns out that look was just old, dirty, faded paint. The real colors were bolder, brighter, and more saturated than anyone believed. Williamsburg has gone back and repainted buildings to match what the science found. The colonists liked color a lot more than we gave them credit for.Classic Door Color Palette [13:23]If you were walking through a New England town in the late 1770s, these are the door colors you'd have likely seen:Deep red-brown. Iron in the soil -- the same stuff that makes rust red -- produced a family of dull, brick-red earth colors. One common version was called Spanish brown. Dirt cheap, in the most literal sense of the phrase, and very common on doors and trim.Deep green. A dark, earthy green was a popular choice for doors and shutters. The classic colonial green door has roots going back to this period, which is part of why it still reads as traditional today.Black. More common as you move into the early 1800s. It looked formal, looked sharp, looked especially good against a pale house.White and off-white. These came from white lead, which was expensive. A crisp white door was a quiet declaration that there was money in the house. What looks like an understated choice today was a statement then.Prussian blue. A rich, deep, slightly greenish blue that arrived as a new pigment in the early 1700s and became a sensation. A blue door said you could afford something special.Vermilion red. The most expensive of all. A brilliant, clean fire-engine red that came from a pigment worth nearly its weight in gold at certain points in history. A truly bright red door was the loudest possible way to tell the world you had money.Why Door Color Still Matters [16:55]When Dan pictures colonial America, he pictures parchment tones -- old paper, brown wood, gray stone, candlelight. Even the red, white, and blue of the flag feels muted in his mental image. But these people cared about color. They cared about curb appeal, they just didn't have the phrase for it. The front door was where homeowners made that statement without the expense of painting the whole house.Two hundred and fifty years later, people still stand in front of the paint display and agonize over a quart of paint for the same reason. The front door speaks before anyone inside gets a chance to. That was true in 1775 and it's still true now.Paint Project Payoff [18:38]If you're looking for a summer weekend project, Dan's case is simple: look at your front door. What is it saying to the world? What is it saying to you? If the message needs to change, stop into any RepcoLite location and they'll help find the right color. It's a quart of paint and about four hours of work. The payoff is big.THE REAL BETSY ROSSBetsy Ross Legend Setup [19:23]Dan sets up the Betsy Ross segment by acknowledging that most people know some version of the legend. Before getting into whether it's true, he wants to introduce the real woman -- because she's considerably more interesting than the simplified version most of us grew up with.1776 Flag Shop Scene [19:59]Philadelphia, June 1776.

More Americans than ever identify as LGBTQ+, but the story of acceptance in the United States is becoming more complicated. As Pride Month comes to a close, we look at new polling that shows LGBTQ+ visibility at a record high, while public acceptance has slipped in recent years, and we are joined by Michael Bronski, whose landmark book, A Queer History of the United States for Young People, has just been re-released in a revised and expanded 15th anniversary edition. The updated volume now spans more than 500 years of history, bringing the story of LGBTQ+ Americans into the 21st century. We discuss how recent data also points to a widening partisan divide over LGBTQ+ rights, same-sex relationships, and transgender Americans. Finally, we wrap up with a lighter topic: would Americans rather have an extra week of vacation or an extra week of pay?

More Americans are leaving the United States than at any point in recent memory, and Portugal has become one of the most searched destinations. But what's driving the move, and what happens once you get there?   Richard Taylor is joined by John McNertney, Founder of Green Ocean Global Advisors, to unpack the realities of relocating from the US to Portugal. John has lived the journey himself. After moving from San Francisco to Lisbon during the pandemic, he now helps American expats, retirees, and internationally minded families navigate cross-border financial planning, US expat taxes, residency options, and long-term wealth management while living abroad.   Together, Richard and John explore why Portugal has become such a hotspot for Americans, what's changed politically and financially in recent years, and why so many expats are now thinking seriously about building a life and a financial foundation outside the United States.   The conversation gets into the practical detail that most people miss before they move: the difference between the Portugal Golden Visa and the D7 visa, the financial traps Americans fall into with PFICs, trusts, IRAs, and cross-border investment structures, and why proper planning before the move can save years of stress and significant money later on.   Richard and John also explore the emotional reality of expat life, including integration, language learning, culture shock, and why living abroad fundamentally changes the way people think about money, opportunity, and freedom.   Whether you're seriously considering a move to Portugal, researching second residency options, or simply curious why so many Americans are looking overseas right now, this episode offers a grounded and honest look at the opportunities and challenges of modern expat life. --  Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1356: Today we unpack the million buyers who've quietly exited the new-car market, why off-lease inventory is finally rebounding (briefly), and how America's new “premium economy” is changing the way consumers spend, travel and shop.Show Notes with links:A million Americans have quietly exited the new-car market and the shrinking pool of buyers is raising long-term concerns for dealers and OEMs alike.Analysts say roughly one million prospective buyers have defected from the new-car market since 2020 as average transaction prices hover near $50,000 and financing costs remain stubbornly high.Pre-pandemic U.S. sales regularly topped 17 million vehicles annually. Now the industry is bracing for about 16 million sales this year with little confidence the old highs will return anytime soon.Instead of chasing volume with discounts, automakers are leaning into profitable trucks and SUVs. Selling fewer vehicles at higher margins has become an unexpectedly comfortable business model for Detroit.“I don't want to say automakers are OK with this level of sales, but they kind of are.” — Ivan Drury, Edmunds analystVolvo commercial chief Erik Severinson didn't mince words: “This is a real threat to the whole industry… people are not able to buy new cars.”The off-lease floodgates are finally reopening… kind of. Nearly 500,000 more lease returns are expected to hit the used-car market this year, but analysts say the glory days of leasing still aren't coming back anytime soon.Edmunds says off-lease volume is expected to jump nearly 26% year-over-year in 2026 with another 400,000 units expected in 2027 as the industry slowly recovers from the leasing collapse of the pandemic years.After 2027, off-lease inventory is expected to level off because leasing volumes never fully recovered after COVID-era shortages and rising prices.Leasing penetration peaked around 29% before COVID but cratered to just 18% in 2022 as inventory shortages and high prices crushed affordability. Even now, lease activity remains well below historic norms.Edmunds says the leasing slowdown is reshaping the used-car business because many mainstream vehicles no longer produce the steady stream of predictable off-lease inventory dealers once relied on.Ivan Drury: “Without a major shift in incentives toward leasing, we are likely to be stuck in this stifled state of leasing for the foreseeable future.”Forget the “K-shaped economy.” Some economists say America is now a “premium economy” where consumers can't afford houses or retirement, but they can afford upgraded flights, better groceries and premium experiences.More Americans are entering the upper-middle class, but home ownership and retirement still feel out of reach for many younger consumers.The upper-middle class has grown from 10% of families in 1979 to 31% in 2024, according to research from the American Enterprise Institute.Instead of buying homes, consumers are spending on smaller “premium” upgrades like travel, concerts and nicer retail experiences. Delta and United captured more than 90% of airline profits last year while Spirit struggled.Walmart has become a major winner by improving stores, delivery and curbside pickup, pulling shoppers away from lower-cost competitors like Dollar General.Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta predicts the economy could eventually shift from “K-shaped” to “C-shaped” as lower inflation and AI-driven productivity help consumer spending “converge” and be more balanced across income levels.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Memorial Day weekend is here, kicking off the summer travel season.

Also on this morning's podcast: high-profile concert cancellations and a preview of consumer sentiment.

It's Tax Day, and Shane and Kody are in their element. In Episode 185 of The Liquidity Event, they kick off with a behind-the-scenes look at what tax season actually looks like for financial planners, from correcting misclassified stock options to saving clients tens of thousands of dollars that TurboTax Live told them they owed. They also dig into how Intuit used large language models to compress 900 pages of new tax legislation into weeks of implementation instead of months, and whether a viral Reddit post claiming Claude Code can replace TurboTax entirely is onto something or a cautionary tale. Then it's onto the Wall Street Journal's finding that the upper middle class has tripled since 1979, why income alone doesn't tell the whole story, and what a $2 trillion SpaceX IPO valuation actually means for investors with private stock heading into a potentially wild summer debut. Topics covered: Tax season war stories and common filing mistakes with equity compensation How Intuit used AI to implement 900 pages of new tax legislation in weeks The upper middle class defined: who qualifies and why income alone isn't enough Cost of living, housing affordability, and purchasing power by geography SpaceX IPO outlook, valuation history, and what private shareholders should consider Can Claude Code actually do your taxes?

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the complexities of faith, doubt, and the challenges many face in their spiritual journeys. The host addresses a common critique of religion: why do we have to believe rather than just know? With insights drawn from the New Testament, particularly the invitation Jesus extended to Thomas, we explore the importance of investigating faith without fear of condemnation. As we navigate the current landscape where more Americans are identifying as religiously unaffiliated, the episode highlights the rise of the "nuns" and the reasons behind this shift. The host discusses the impact of the New Atheist Movement and the unsettling conclusions that arise from atheistic beliefs, emphasizing that leaving one belief system often leads to gravitating toward another. Whether you're a long-time follower of Jesus, someone who has lost faith, or simply curious about the conversation around belief and doubt, this episode invites you to reflect on your own journey. Join us as we challenge misconceptions, explore the foundations of faith, and prepare to give an answer for the hope we have. The Main Idea: For some: Who needs religion? More Americans than ever are backing away from religion. Consequently, God. Not because atheism is all that attractive. Religion is less so. “It's the problem.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

It's Thursday, April 2nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nepalese Hindus dragged 3 Christians to police station for evangelism Three Christians in Nepal, the country north of India, are facing persecution for simply sharing the Gospel last week. A group of Hindus dragged the Christians to a police station in response to their evangelism. It is illegal to convert someone to another religion in the country. And Hindus increasingly target Christians who share their faith.  One local believer told International Christian Concern, “In spite of the absence of any substantiated evidence, the police ordered an investigation. These actions make life difficult for these poor Christians.” Presidential elections in Peru, Colombia, and Brazil Millions of Latin Americans will vote in presidential elections this year in countries like Peru, Colombia, and Brazil.  A survey from Pew Research found most adults in these countries see a role for religion in key aspects of public life. Protestants are a growing minority in Latin America. They express the strongest support for Christianity's influence on their country's leadership. Even a sizable minority of the religiously unaffiliated in the region said the Bible should influence their country's laws.  Wisdom says in Proverbs 8:15, “By me, kings reign, and rulers decree justice.” Supreme Court: Christian therapists allowed to help “homosexual” kids On Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court struck down Colorado's ban on so-called “conversion therapy” The court ruled 8-1 that the ban violated the First Amendment rights of Christian therapist Kaley Chiles. Colorado passed the Minor Conversion Therapy Law in 2019. The measure prohibited therapists from using faith-based counseling to help kids who no longer want to identify with sexually perverted lifestyles.  Listen to comments from Kaley in an interview with Fox News. CHILES: “I am elated by the ruling, and I am very excited for the kids and their families, who have been simply seeking options in counseling, and now will get to do so. “I also hope this ruling emboldens counselors because we will either do justice to our clients or we will let the government silence us into pretending that there is medical consensus on this issue.” Kansas prohibits cities from forcing pro-life centers to promote abortion The state of Kansas enacted a law to protect pro-life pregnancy centers last Friday.  The Pregnancy Center Autonomy and Rights of Expression Act forbids state and local governments from forcing pregnancy centers to promote or participate in abortions.   While Democrat Governor Laura Kelly initially vetoed the measure, the state's legislature thankfully voted to override the veto -- within hours.  To their credit, the Republican-controlled House voted 87-35 and the Republican-controlled Senate voted 30-9 to override the pro-abortion governor. More Americans struggling economically A new survey from Gallup found that 49% of U.S. workers report they are struggling in their lives compared to 46% who report they are thriving.  Between 2009 and 2019, nearly 60% of Americans said they were thriving. Most U.S. workers say it is a bad time to find a quality job. This was especially true for workers with a college degree or above.  A majority of workers also said they were actively looking for a new job. This was especially true of younger generations.  Barna: 40% of Protestant pastors see higher engagement from Gen Z A new survey from the Barna Group found that younger generations are becoming more engaged with their church. The study asked over 500 Protestant senior pastors about church engagement over the last year. Over 40 percent of pastors reported higher engagement from Generation Z who are 14 to 29, and Millennials, who are 30 to 45.  A similar number reported higher engagement from young men.  The study noted, “The story of the next generation and the church is still unfolding. But according to pastors across the country, signs of new engagement are beginning to appear.” Samuel Morse, Christian inventor of Morse Code, died on this date And finally, today is the anniversary of the death of Samuel Morse.  Does that last name ring a bell? The American inventor died on April 2, 1872. Before becoming an inventor, Morse was known as a painter, even gaining admittance to the British Royal Academy of Arts.  Later in life, he would make key contributions to the design and deployment of the telegraph system. He also co-developed the code that bears his name. Morse code would become the primary language for telegraphy and is still used to this day.  Notably, Morse was a devout Christian who gave glory to God for his inventions. Psalm 115:1 says, “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness!”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, April 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

More Americans are blaming the AI infrastructure expansion for rising electricity bills. Our Head of Public Policy Research Ariana Salvatore explains how the topic may influence policy announcements ahead of the midterm elections.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Head of Public Policy Research for Morgan Stanley. Today I'll be talking about the relationship between affordability, the data center buildout, and the midterm elections. It's Wednesday, February 18th at 10am in New York. Markets and voters continue to grapple with questions on AI, including its potential scope, impact, and disruption across industries. That's been a clear theme on the policy side as voters seem to be pushing back against AI development and data center buildout in particular. In key states, voters are associating the rise in electricity bills with AI infrastructure – and we think that could be an important read across for the midterm elections in November. Now to be sure, electricity inflation has stayed sticky at around four to 5 percent year-over- year, and our economists expect it to remain in that range through this year and next. Nationally the impact of data centers on electricity prices has been relatively modest so far, but regionally, the pressure has been more visible. To that point, a recent survey in Pennsylvania found that nearly twice as many respondents believe AI will hurt the economy as it will help. More than half – 55 percent – think AI is likely to take away jobs in their own industry, and 71 percent said they're concerned about how much electricity data centers consume. But this isn't just a Pennsylvania story. In other battleground states like Arizona and Michigan, voters have actually rejected plans to build new data centers locally. So, what could that mean for the midterm elections? Think back to the off-cycle elections in November of last year. Candidates who ran on this theme of affordability and actually pushed back against data center construction tended to do pretty well in their respective races. Looking ahead to the midterm elections later this year, we see two clear takeaways from a policy perspective. First, it's important to note that more of the policy action here will actually continue to be at the local rather than federal level. Some states with heavy data center build out – so Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas among others – are now debating who should pay for grid upgrades. Federal proposals on this topic are still pretty nascent and fragmented. Meanwhile, public utility commissions in states like Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana have adopted or proposed large load tariffs. These require data centers to shoulder more upfront grid costs; or can reflect conditional charges like long-term contracts, minimum demand charges, exit fees or collateral requirements – all of which are designed to prevent costs from spilling over to households. And secondly, because of that limited federal action, we expect the Trump administration to continue leaning on other levers of affordability policy, where the president actually does have some more unilateral control. We've been expecting the administration to continue focusing on broader affordability areas ranging from housing to trade policy, as we've said on this podcast in the past. That dynamic is especially relevant this week as the Supreme Court could rule as soon as Friday on whether or not the president has the authority under IEEPA to impose the broad-based reciprocal tariffs. The administration thus far has been projecting a message of continuity. But we've noted that a decision that constrains that authority could give the president an opportunity to pursue a lighter touch tariff policy in response to the public's concerns around affordability. That's why we think the AI infrastructure buildout debate will continue to be a flashpoint into November, especially in the context of rising data center demand. Next week, when the president delivers his State of the Union address, we expect to hear plenty about not just affordability, but also AI leadership and competitiveness. But an equally important message will be around the administration's potential policy options to address its associated costs. That tension between AI supremacy and rising everyday costs for voters will be critical in shaping the electoral landscape into November. Thanks for listening.

Has real estate finally bottomed? Ben Miller, CEO of Fundrise (managing over $7B in real estate), says it's so. And he's not just talking about commercial real estate. If true, one particular type of real estate investment could do exceptionally well over the next year, but most people (even Dave!) are going in a different direction. Where could the next big real estate boom happen? We're getting into it! To continue this prediction season, Ben joins us to walk through a few crucial economic outlooks that could greatly affect the housing market. From AI stunting hiring to inflation actually going down (below 2%!), American wage trends changing dramatically, and the assets that will perform best, we're getting his take as someone who manages billions of dollars in real estate. Want mortgage rates to go down? We need lower inflation, and Ben says there's good news on the horizon for stable prices. New technology adoption could lead to much lower inflation (even deflation in some cases). Could this be what reignites the housing market as mortgage rates react to a more stable economy? Ben gives his full take, with some surprises even Dave wasn't prepared for.  In This Episode We Cover The bottom for real estate prices?

It all started with a colossal Thanksgiving mistake — one that accidentally created an entire industry. The birth of the frozen meal business began with a Thanksgiving blunder. Listen and you'll hear how that blunder turned into a billion-dollar idea. https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/a22792044/thanksgiving-fun-facts/ The story of Thanksgiving is full of myths and misconceptions. Much of what we think we know about that first feast — from the turkey to the Pilgrims' attire — simply isn't true. Historian Peter Mancall, professor of history and anthropology at the University of Southern California, joins me to reveal the real story behind Thanksgiving: what actually happened, how it evolved into a national holiday, and why it landed on the fourth Thursday in November. Finally, let's talk about your Thanksgiving table. Chances are there's at least one dish you eat out of obligation, not enthusiasm. Turns out, you're not alone. More Americans are swapping out the traditional menu for new favorites — and I'll tell you what's replacing turkey in many homes around the country. https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/a22792044/thanksgiving-fun-facts/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
