Joey Hudson, sitting in for Mike, breaks down a revealing House vote in which 192 Democrats refused to support a resolution condemning socialism. With Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates gaining ground and Zohran Mamdani helping push the movement further into the mainstream, Joey asks whether socialism is becoming the new Democratic Party playbook. He also looks at the staggering amounts of money pouring into the 2026 midterms and why Republicans should be taking the battleground Senate races seriously. And as the election approaches, Joey argues conservatives can't afford to sit back and assume victory—they need to make their case and turn voters out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Software management presents itself as an easy task.  Install software, deinstall at the end of its life.  Unfortunately, the complexity of modern systems has made managing software in enterprise situations more of a nightmare than a walk in the park. During today's Feds at the Edge podcast, a group of subject matter experts gives several approaches to software management that has worked for them. ONE   Larger organization seems to have many sets of tools.  The question to resolve: which one has the authoritative data? Policies must be developed to ensure accuracy.  TWO Separate departments may purchase identical tools. Administrators need accurate knowledge of what tools are being used. Further, even if the tool is duplicative, it may not be easy to turn off if embedded FOUR   In an emergency, organizations may order the software needed.  Non-reputable vendors can keep on charging, need to have an honest relationship with a vendor.  Beyond that, need to program to have Dave Klein from Axonius Federal underscored the risks of legacy systems and the need for continuous, automated approaches to manage software assets effectively.    

What does it take to build an AML programme that actually works in practice?In this episode of Compliance Champions, Delphine Forma speaks with Tigran Rostomyan, Founder & CEO of AML Incubator, about Canada's AML framework for crypto businesses and the practical realities of building an effective compliance programme.Tigran explains how FINTRAC registration interacts with Canada's securities framework, the five core components of an AML programme, and why the risk assessment should be the foundation for the controls a firm puts in place.The conversation explores the practical challenges of the Travel Rule, including unhosted wallets and missing counterparty information, as well as how firms can build effective transaction monitoring by bringing together KYC, customer behaviour, fiat and crypto activity, blockchain analytics and sanctions screening.Delphine and Tigran also discuss key crypto financial crime typologies, suspicious transaction reporting and examination readiness, with a recurring theme throughout the conversation: having policies is not enough. Firms need to demonstrate that their AML controls are risk-based, properly implemented and effective in practice.

Here's a reality that the Powers That Be keep trying to put out of sight and out of mind: Poverty.Yes, right here in our own fabulously-rich USA. Don't tell anybody, but millions of American children, workers, and elderly people are enduring the personal horror of dispiriting, debilitating, deadening poverty every day.It's our national horror, too, for the greatest cause of their penury is not lack of ambition, drug addiction, stupidity, or other canards hurled at the impoverished. Rather it's the moral poverty of the rich and powerful who routinely rig the system to cut off food access, hold down wages, eliminate health care and child care, jack up rents, privatize everything… and turn government into an exclusive club for corporations and the rich.Such deliberate moves by moneyed and political elites to close off America's pathways of upward mobility is both stupid and suicidal. Not only does it foment deep social anger, but it denies our country the creativity, enterprise, and – yes, the genius! – inherent in even the poorest communities.Most pathetically, the callous moves to abandon the poor is driven by the worst traits in our society: One, a condescending right-wing meanness that openly regards the poor as failed humans who're unworthy of public support; and two, upper class fear that the poor are hard-wired moochers who pollute the gene pool, so they must not be coddled.Our people's fundamental values are better than this, and America obviously has the wherewithal to DO better. There's no excuse for letting poverty bigots and billionaires set America's ethical standards.

What happens when two wheelchair users fall in love, get married, build careers, travel the world and navigate life together? Apparently, people have questions. After sharing more of their life as a disabled couple online and seeing an overwhelming response, Alycia Anderson brings her husband, Marty Anderson, back to Pushing Forward with Alycia for a lighter, candid and often hilarious Q&A about their nearly 15 years of marriage. Who is more stubborn? Who notices an accessibility problem first? Who takes longer to get ready? Who carries more disability-related gear? And when the world is not designed for two wheelchair users, how do they figure it out? As Alycia and Marty quickly discover, the answers lead to much bigger conversations about disabled relationships, wheelchair accessibility, accessible travel, independence, interdependence, ableism and belonging. Two Disabled People. One Very Normal Marriage. One of the biggest misconceptions Alycia and Marty encounter is the assumption that when disability exists in a relationship, one person must automatically become the caregiver. Their reality is much different. They help each other. Sometimes that means Marty holding Alycia's wheelchair during a transfer or Alycia grabbing onto Marty's chair for a tow. Sometimes it means reviewing an email, figuring out a business decision or helping each other navigate a difficult moment. And sometimes it simply means knowing somebody is standing beside you. As Alycia puts it, having Marty on her team makes her feel braver in the actions she takes in her life. Their partnership illustrates something much bigger: support in a relationship does not always move in one direction. When Accessibility Assumes Disabled People Are Alone Some of the funniest stories in the episode expose something decidedly less funny: much of the world is still designed around the assumption that a wheelchair user will be accompanied by a nondisabled caregiver. Movie theaters may provide one wheelchair space and one companion chair. Venues may offer accessible seating without considering that two wheelchair users might actually want to sit beside each other. Transportation systems may have accessibility policies but still create frustrating or alienating customer experiences. Hotels may technically meet accessibility standards while still making everyday tasks difficult. Alycia and Marty have spent years navigating those gaps together. Their solution is often the same: Figure it out. For Alycia, that mindset is deeply connected to disability itself. When the world is not designed for you, creativity and adaptation become part of everyday life. The Airport Shuttle Stress Is Real Accessible travel gets its own unofficial therapy session in this episode. Alycia and Marty talk about one of their biggest travel stressors: getting from the airport to the rental car facility. Wheelchair-accessible shuttle experiences can be unpredictable. Ramps may not work. Drivers may approach wheelchair passengers differently. Other travelers may board while wheelchair users are still waiting. Policies can sometimes override a simple conversation about what actually works best for the individual passenger. The frustration is not always about the equipment. It is about the experience. Marty describes accessibility as something that should create a feeling of being invited rather than treated like an exception. That distinction between technical access and true belonging sits at the center of much of Alycia's work. Accessible Parking Is More Complicated Than It Looks Alycia and Marty also tackle one of disability culture's perennial hot topics: accessible parking. They are quick to point out that disability does not have one appearance. Someone using an accessible parking space may have a completely legitimate non-apparent disability. But they also raise an important distinction around van-accessible spaces and access aisles. Those striped areas next to certain spaces are not extra parking. They provide the room someone may need to deploy a wheelchair ramp, transfer from a vehicle, use a walker or maneuver mobility equipment. It is another example of how accessibility education can make systems work better for everyone. What Do Nondisabled Couples Take for Granted? Their answer? Sometimes, spontaneity. Traveling without researching accessibility. Accepting an invitation to someone's house without wondering whether you can enter. Booking a rideshare without thinking about whether a wheelchair will fit or whether the driver will refuse the trip. Checking into a hotel without wondering whether the mirror can actually be seen from a wheelchair. These may seem like tiny details individually. Collectively, they shape whether people can participate fully and independently in everyday life. Disabled Relationship Myth Busting Perhaps the biggest misconception Alycia and Marty challenge is the belief that two disabled people somehow live a fundamentally different kind of relationship. Their marriage has accessibility logistics and mobility adaptations, yes. It also has careers. Finances. Intimacy. Arguments. Love. Partnership. Medical challenges. Travel. Laughter. And almost fifteen years of figuring life out together. Disability is part of their relationship. It is not the entirety of it. Marriage Is Still Marriage Near the end of the episode, Marty asks Alycia what nearly fifteen years together has taught her that has nothing to do with disability. Her answer becomes one of the episode's most beautiful moments. Marriage, she says, is one of the hardest things she has ever committed to, but also one of the very best. Creating a life with another person remains one of the accomplishments she treasures most. And after several heavy weeks for the Anderson household, their final Pushing Forward Moments are wonderfully simple. Marty's: Take life a little lighter. Have some fun. Everything does not have to be serious. Alycia's: All you need is love. Sometimes pushing forward means solving the accessibility problem. Sometimes it means advocating for change. And sometimes it means laughing with the person sitting beside you while you figure everything else out. IN THIS EPISODE Alycia and Marty discuss: What life is actually like for two married wheelchair users Who is more stubborn about asking for help Why asking for help can be difficult when independence has been ingrained in you Who notices accessibility barriers first Wheelchair travel and airport shuttle frustrations Accessibility versus genuine hospitality and belonging Why Alycia carries more disability-related supplies while traveling When they speak up about inaccessible environments How two disabled partners physically and emotionally support each other The assumption that every disabled person has a nondisabled caregiver Why theaters and entertainment venues often fail wheelchair-using couples Disability, marriage and intimacy Accessible parking and non-apparent disabilities Why van-accessible spaces serve a specific purpose Rideshare and transportation discrimination Why accessible hotel rooms should not have thick carpet How disability creates everyday problem-solving skills Automatic doors and universal access Spontaneity and the hidden planning involved in disability What nearly fifteen years of marriage has taught them Finding more fun, light and love in everyday life KEY THEMES

Apply to work with me 1:1 - https://impacttheory.co/SCALESign up for my AI Masterclass: https://tombilyeu.com/ai-masterclass?utm_campaign=TBS-Livestream&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=socialWelcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Tom Bilyeu Show Live, where no subject is too spicy or uncomfortable to tackle head-on. In today's episode, the conversation focused on some of the most polarizing issues making headlines, from viral true crime cases stoking cultural tensions to international economic showdowns and political controversy. The discussion explored the public reaction to Lindsay Clancy's tragic familicide, delving into themes of empathy, personal responsibility, and society's sometimes fraught relationship with medicalization and criminal justice. Other key topics included major economic maneuvers to preserve the dollar's dominance, Canada's declining economic policies and shifting alliances, the precarious relationship between the U.S. and Russia, and the dangers of overlooking the realities of authoritarianism in global powers like China. Several points were raised, including society's tendency to let feelings override facts, the consequences of leading with unchecked compassion, and the urgent need for critical thought in navigating both culture and policy. Whether you're here for deep dives into news, cultural analysis, or high-stakes economic strategy, this episode challenges you to reconsider what it means to balance care with accountability in a world teetering between chaos and order.Sponsors:Cash App: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/v6nymgjl #CashAppPod*Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Kelsey Norman is a Fellow for the Middle East and Director of the Women's Rights, Human Rights, and Refugees Program at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy. Her new book, Aiding Autocrats: Migration Management, Governance and Repression in Africa, examines how wealthy countries increasingly use foreign aid to persuade other governments to stop migrants before they reach Europe or the United States—and the unintended political consequences of those policies. In this episode, Kelsey explains what she calls "migration management aid" and how it has shaped relationships with countries including Turkey, Libya, and Rwanda. We also discuss whether more recent policies, including the Trump administration's deportation agreements with countries such as Eswatini, fit into this broader pattern. The conversation then turns to one of the book's central arguments: that outsourcing migration control can undermine democracy and good governance by strengthening authoritarian governments and giving them new resources and leverage. We conclude by discussing whether there is a better way for wealthy countries to cooperate with governments on migration without reinforcing repression or sacrificing human rights.

Do conservatives have more kids? The answer is yes, and we discuss why that might be. HOPE is a 4-letter word, and so is NUTS. Annie advises having lots of babies.

The Trump administration has systematically deleted and altered hundreds of taxpayer-funded federal datasets across agencies to scrub records that conflict with its political and ideological priorities. These removals heavily target public health tracking, climate science resources like NASA's climate.gov, education statistics, and labor surveys, while also eliminating demographic indicators on gender identity and sexual orientation, limiting the public's and policymakers' ability to monitor systemic issues, make evidence-based decisions, and hold leadership accountable Independent media has never been more important.

A Finance Ministry official says China has adjusted its coordinated fiscal and financial policies to increase domestic demand. The new measures include expanding the scope of interest subsidies and raising the upper limit on quotas.

DOES RICKY GERVAIS WRITE BURNHAM'S POLICIES?! UK IS A DARK, DARK COMEDY! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #AndyBurnham #RickyGervais #UKIsASickComedy #HomeOffice #AsylumSeekers #IllegalImmigration #IllegalMigrants  You genuinely couldn't make this stuff up. The Home Office has produced a nine-page guide for asylum seekers explaining that rape is illegal, women have equal rights, sexual consent matters, domestic abuse is illegal and you cannot have sex with children under 16. Seriously?! If the Government believes some people arriving in Britain need to be TOLD these things, isn't that itself a massive warning sign? And what exactly is a pamphlet supposed to achieve? This feels like the ultimate case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Instead of another leaflet, another poster and another Government initiative, why aren't we having the much bigger debate about who is entering Britain, how they are vetted, where they are housed and what happens when they commit serious crimes? There have been horrific cases involving individual asylum seekers convicted of sexual offences. Those crimes have real victims — women and children whose suffering isn't remotely funny. That's why this becomes a dark, dark comedy rather than something we can simply laugh about.  For years, people raising legitimate questions about young undocumented men being accommodated in hotels, HMOs and other facilities have sometimes felt dismissed as racists or bigots. But asking questions about safeguarding, security and vetting is not the same thing as claiming every migrant is dangerous.  Meanwhile, what is Andy Burnham talking about? He's embraced TikTok politics, he's been talking about bread rolls, and today he's announcing another initiative — this time tackling fly-tipping. Of course fly-tipping matters. But Britain also faces enormous questions about borders, crime, prisons, housing and the cost of living. Are our politicians concentrating on the country's biggest priorities — or concentrating on producing the next social-media clip? It increasingly feels like we're trapped inside a Ricky Gervais dark comedy. Except this isn't Netflix. THIS IS BRITAIN. Join Jon Gaunt LIVE and tell me what YOU think. Is the Home Office pamphlet sensible information for newcomers — or does its very existence demonstrate how badly our immigration and integration policies have gone wrong? And has Andy Burnham got his priorities right?  GET INVOLVED. HAVE YOUR SAY. AND DON'T HOLD BACK.

For international students heading to college this fall, the usual questions about housing, classes and finding community come with an added layer of uncertainty: changing federal immigration policies. New reporting from the Midwest Newsroom examines how those policies are affecting international enrollment — and the bottom line of colleges and universities across the region, including in Missouri. We talk with Midwest Newsroom reporting fellow Steph Conquest-Ware about what they found.

"Send us a message!"Salon owners have a habit of making business more complicated than it needs to be.We chase industry standards. We add policies because one client did something annoying. We build enormous service menus, obsess over retail percentages, force rebooking, complicate hiring, and try to manufacture culture with perks, outings, and branding days.But does any of that actually make the business better?In this episode, we bounce through four conversations that all come back to a similar idea: build the business you actually need instead of blindly following what the industry tells you a salon is supposed to look like.We talk about what actually makes a salon a great place to work, how to know when something needs more time versus when it's time to make a change, the parts of business owners tend to overcomplicate, and some of the salon-industry "rules" that deserve a simple question:Who told you that?The Big IdeaA better business doesn't have to be a more complicated business. Know what you're trying to accomplish, build systems that support it, and stop assuming someone else's rules have to become yours.Key TakeawaysStrong leadership, opportunity, stability, accountability, and growth matter more to employees than superficial perks.A useful question for every owner is: Would you want to work at your own business?Some business decisions need patience and data; others need immediate action.Patience can become complacency, just as decisiveness can become an emotional reaction.Pricing should account for your time, costs, and profit, not somebody else's preferred pricing model.Policies should solve actual business problems, not individual annoyances.Marketing gets simpler when you know exactly who you're trying to attract.Service menus should make booking easier for clients, not showcase everything you're capable of.Culture isn't created by mandatory outings, perks, or branding shoots."Industry standard" doesn't automatically mean it's right for your business.KPIs only matter when they help you understand what's actually happening in your business.Timestamps00:00 — Opening takes: the bus test & the industry's obsession with retail04:00 — What actually makes a salon a great place to work?06:00 — Leadership, opportunity & meaningful growth07:00 — Standards, accountability & stability09:00 — Autonomy, challenge & being part of something bigger11:00 — Would you want to work at your own salon?12:00 — When should you actually change something?13:00 — What requires patience: marketing, staff development & culture15:00 — Making decisions instead of looking for a cosign16:00 — What needs to be fixed quickly18:00 — Data, intuition & knowing when you've waited long enough19:00 — When patience becomes complacency20:00 — The power of pausing before you react21:00 — When immediate action really is necessary24:00 — What salon owners make way too complicated24:00 — Pricing25:00 — Policies & cancellations27:00 — Marketing & attracting the right clients29:00 — Retail31:00 — Service menus33:00 — Culture & forced team building36:00 — Hiring37:00 — "Who told you that?"38:00 — Retail percentages & 50% commission39:00 — "Everyone wants to rent" & "clients won't pay that here"40:00 — Questioning traditional salon KPIs42:00 — Why rebooking doesn't tell the whole storyReflection: What part of your business have you made more complicated simply because someone told you that's how it's supposed to be done?Before adding another policy, system, benchmark, perk, or strategy, ask whether it actually solves a problem in your business.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And sometimes making your business better doesn't require adding another thing. It requires the courage to question what you're already doing.Links and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Federal Student Loan Overhaul The Trump administration's changes to available federal student loan repayment plans, along with new Parent Plus loan and graduate school borrowing caps went into effect July 1, leaving many borrowers wondering what's in their best interest as legal challenges against overhaul continue to play out in court. On Monday's edition of the "Sound of Ideas" hosted by Stephanie Haney, we look at the student loan lending landscape in the latest installment of our "Law of The Land" series, where we look at how the law affects our everyday lives. Currently the Biden-era SAVE plan is no longer available, causing concern for people who worry about not being able to make higher monthly payments under its replacement, the RAP plan, which may also increase the so-called marriage penalty for couples who file their taxes together rather than as individuals. There is some good news for federal loan borrowers who were defrauded, as a lawsuit that was first filed against the Trump administration in 2019 has finally been settled, giving relief to 450,000 people by canceling their student loan debt after they were misled by the schools they were enrolled in. On the private loan side, experts worry that the rise in online education programs coupled with federal borrowing limits may increase predatory lending practices, as people cobble together financing for their education.

In this episode, John discusses the recent excuses from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, while also addressing Trump's controversial decisions affecting military aircraft carriers. As the discussion progresses, John emphasizes the importance of Democratic messaging on economic issues, challenging the longstanding Republican narrative of fiscal responsibility with hard-hitting facts about economic performance under different administrations.Then, John interviews Congressman Jared Huffman, who discusses his new book, No Profits, which tackles the rise of Christian nationalism in American politics. Huffman sheds light on the alarming intertwining of religious extremism and governance, particularly in the wake of the January 6th insurrection, and reflects on the need for a secular government based on reason and science. Their conversation navigates through the complexities of faith in politics, the dangers of Christian nationalism, and the responsibilities of lawmakers to uphold the separation of church and state.Next, John welcomes back Bob Cesca, host of the acclaimed Bob Cesca Show and co-host of Trek Politics with Mary Trump. They chat about the recent departure of Karoline Leavitt, reflecting on her role as a human shield in the Trump administration and the implications of such a move as the midterms loom. They tackle the controversial executive order regarding childhood vaccinations, dissecting the potential public health ramifications of breaking up the MMR vaccine schedule. Bob highlights the challenges this poses for low-income families, emphasizing the political motivations behind Trump's decisions rather than any genuine concern for public health.Then, John welcomes the brilliant columnist and public speaker Wajahat Ali to the show. They talk about into the recent revelations surrounding Donald Trump's bank accounts and the implications of Capital One's decision to shut down numerous accounts linked to the former president. Waj discusses the stark contrast in media coverage, questioning why such significant stories receive minimal attention when they involve Trump, while similar situations with Democrats would spark outrage and congressional hearings. Together, they explore the lack of accountability for powerful figures in American politics and the troubling trend of prioritizing political expediency over truth.John then welcomes back TV's Frank Conniff, known for his iconic role on Mystery Science Theater 3000. They share laughs while dissecting the current political climate, including the resignation of press secretary Karoline Leavitt and the media's role in perpetuating misinformation. Frank offers his unique perspective on the stupidity of the Trump administration, as well as the importance of humor in navigating these turbulent times.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Bryan sits down with Leilani for an introduction to GRIT Camps — the hands-on program that brings skilled trades exposure to youth ages 12–17 through community events led by working tradespeople. Leilani explains that a GRIT Camp pairs recruited mentors with students for a day of modules covering safety, carpentry, electrical, brazing, and plumbing, including torch work, PVC and copper fitting, and disassembling HVAC components. Students also learn to read a jobsite-style blueprint and receive a six-in-one screwdriver to take apart and explore. Bryan and Leilani emphasize that while GRIT supplies the curriculum, guides, and structure, the host — typically a contracting business or trade organization — owns the event: recruiting students and mentors, securing a venue, and building real community connections around the day. A large portion of the conversation walks through who does what. Hosts provide the facility, materials (plywood, 2x4s, copper, PVC, and more, all detailed in GRIT's guide), and lunch for up to around 30 people, plus a local host facilitator to coordinate logistics and serve as GRIT's point of contact. Mentors must be certified skilled tradespeople who complete GRIT's required video course and pass a background check before working with students; volunteers who don't interact directly with kids are not required to undergo a background check. GRIT, in turn, supplies the camp curriculum, host and mentor guides, registration and marketing materials, badges, student blueprints and PPE, background check coordination, and on-site program leadership from staff like Ty, GRIT's head of training, who typically arrives the day before to walk the facility with the host. Bryan and Leilani also dig into planning specifics: camps run from about 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., cap out at 16 students with a two-students-per-mentor ratio (so eight to nine mentors for a full camp), and generally need 10 to 12 weeks of lead time to hit deadlines for mentor certification, materials gathering, and student registration. They cover the realities of choosing a torch and joining system — MAPP gas and propane versus oxyacetylene for brazing, and why oxyacetylene can't be used for the popular aluminum-repair activity — along with commonly overlooked items like correctly sized Forstner bits, spare drill batteries, extension cords, and pre-cut lumber. They close with guidance on budgeting (camps typically run $1,500 to $5,000), sourcing a sponsored lunch, handling allergies, inviting community press, and what makes a camp genuinely successful: preparedness paired with passion from both mentors and hosts. Topics Covered What a GRIT Camp is and which skilled trades are covered (safety, carpentry, electrical, brazing, plumbing) Camp roles: host, host facilitator, mentor, students, and volunteers What hosts are responsible for providing: facility, materials, and lunch What GRIT provides: curriculum, guides, registration, marketing, background checks, and on-site leadership Required mentor certification course and background checks Ideal space setup, table stations, and indoor/outdoor considerations Student and mentor ratios (16 students max, two students per mentor) Planning timeline: 10–12 weeks of lead time and key deadlines Confirming a camp date and the host interest assessment process Recruiting students and mentors, including waitlists and communication Choosing a torch and joining system: MAPP gas/propane vs. oxyacetylene brazing Commonly overlooked or underestimated materials and tools Safety planning, PPE, and emergency preparedness Estimated costs and ways to offset them through sponsorships Lunch planning and handling food allergies Community and marketing value for hosts Policies on parents and visitors attending What makes a GRIT Camp successful   Learn more about the GRIT Foundation or contact us at https://www.thegritfoundation.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

The Trump administration has pulled millions of dollars of funding for teen pregnancy prevention programs nationwide as part of its push for abstinence-only sex ed. Many states, including California, have embraced comprehensive sex ed requiring students to learn about reproduction as well as topics such as consent and contraception. Experts have credited such programs for helping cause the teen pregnancy rate to plummet and say federal policies and loss of funding could prove harmful in the long term and may be part of a larger agenda to encourage childbirth. We'll talk about the Trump administration's policies, defunding of programs, and best practices for educating teens about a loaded topic. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bonus episode from the newsletter On This Day in Women's History! On August 12-13, 1967, Glacier National Park had a double tragedy: two 19-year-old girls were hiking in separate groups in separate parts of the park. Both were attacked by grizzly bears. For Julie and Michele, the results were deadly. But for other people and bears, the tragedy had more positive consequences. As a result of this night, wildlife management changed. Many familiar policies were instituted after this night to keep both humans and bears safe. There are two ways to sign up for the newsletter: ⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=83998235) ⁠Substack ⁠(https://bit.ly/4wpOe5h) Either way, the story about the historical woman is free, along with news about the podcast, and a place to share your recommendations for historical books, movies, shows, etc. If you sign up as a subscriber, you're also helping me keep this show going, and I'll send you bonus content each week as a thank you.

Trucking says it NEEDS truckers. So why can't drivers find a safe place to park, why does Washington keep piling on rules, and why does the industry keep screaming “driver shortage” while struggling to keep the drivers it already has? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles Gracey asks the uncomfortable question: Does trucking actually hate truckers? OOIDA's Collin Long joins us from the Washington front lines to break down the truck-parking fight, highway funding, English-proficiency enforcement, the “driver shortage” narrative and what Congress is actually doing that could hit an owner-operator's bottom line. Then Conversion Interactive's Marilyn Surber gets put through the retention gauntlet: Why do good drivers leave? When does a recruiting problem become a BAD JOB problem? Can carriers market their way out of 90% turnover? And what would she actually do to cut it? No press releases. No conference-panel answers. No fluff. Just the policies, economics and management decisions affecting the people behind the wheel. And then we trade Washington politics for horsepower, polished metal and some seriously badass trucks as Summer of Chrome rolls on. Does trucking really value truckers? Let's find out. This is Brake Check. Let's go full stop. #Trucking #TruckDrivers #OwnerOperator #TruckParking #DriverShortage #DriverRetention #Freight #OOIDA #TruckingIndustry #BrakeCheck ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
