In this episode, as we look ahead to what 2026 has in store for America, we take one more look back at 2025 and what the first year of Trump 2.0 brought to the table. John Solomon welcomes the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, as he discusses the recent FBI investigation into alleged conspiracies against him and the Democrats. President Trump shares his thoughts on the importance of fair voting, the need for declassification of key documents, and the potential for balancing the budget. He also addresses the role of the Federal Reserve and hints at upcoming tariff agreements.

What if your most meaningful work begins after you stop striving to prove yourself? In this warm, wide-ranging conversation, I sit down with old friend, songwriter, filmmaker, and Enneagram Two Andrew Greer for a heartful exploration of loneliness, love, boundaries, creativity, and what it really means to live a good life. Andrew opens up about the hidden sadness behind the Enneagram Two's gift for connection—the ache that often fuels the desire to help, anticipate, and care for others. Together, we unpack how pride, control, and fear of being a burden can quietly shape relationships, and how learning to receive may be the most courageous spiritual practice of all. We also dive into Andrew's new book, More Than a President, and explore Jimmy Carter as a quintessential Enneagram One—principled, disciplined, justice-driven, and far more impactful after the presidency than during it. This episode is a meditation on personality, vocation, and maturity—on shifting focus from résumé to soul, from achievement to love, from striving to rest. It's thoughtful, funny, deeply human, and quietly challenging. Pull up a chair. This one stays with you.   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------   About Andrew Greer Author, musician, and filmmaker, Andrew Greer has published three books, released multiple chart-topping recordings, and directed the PBS documentary Plainspoken, a film inspired by the lives of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter and their neighbors in Plains, Georgia. A Texas native, and longtime Nashvillian, Greer now makes his home in Plains.

MCNAMARA'S REDEMPTION AT THE WORLD BANK Colleague William Taubman. After leaving the Defense Department, McNamara sought redemption as President of the World Bank, shifting its focus to aiding the "poorest of the poor" and combating diseases like river blindness. He viewed this humanitarian work as an attempt to explain the lives lost in Vietnam, later admitting that the bombing campaigns he oversaw failed to break enemy morale just as they had in World War II. While he claimed ignorance regarding the toxicity of Agent Orange and struggled with family estrangement due to the war, he eventually attempted to reconcile his legacy and his relationship with his son. NUMBER 8 1897

MCNAMARA JOINS THE KENNEDY CABINET Colleague William Taubman. In 1960, Robert Kennedy and Sargent Shriver recruited a reluctant McNamara for the Kennedy cabinet; despite McNamara's insistence that he was unqualified for the Treasury or Defense posts, he agreed to meet the President-elect. He accepted the position of Secretary of Defense on the condition that he could appoint his own staff based on merit and avoid the social cocktail circuit to remain a working secretary. Although President Kennedy agreed to these terms, he reportedly discarded McNamara's written list of conditions immediately after their meeting. NUMBER 4 11963

The Fed is going to need some more not-QE and fast. We've got the year-end surge in repo borrowing at its window that is already way more than expected. At the same time, front end Treasury bill yields tumble in what is looking more like collateral scarcity along the lines of repo fails. Plus, the rest of the yield curve spent the entire fourth quarter – doing nothing. Literally nothing - and that's huge. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Generic drugs are, in many ways, the unsung hero of America's health care system, bringing powerful medical innovations within the reach of millions more people. These cheaper copies of brand-name drugs — from pills that stop heart attacks to antibiotics that cure life-threatening infections — save America hundreds of billions of dollars a year. But will affordable, high-quality generic drugs continue to be there when we need them?Some players are abandoning this business while others slash costs by cutting dangerous corners. Shortages of older generic drugs have become the norm, sending doctors scrambling. At the same time, crucial new medicines are proving tougher to copy on the cheap, saddling patients with brand-name prices.Over the course of “Race to the Bottom,” our new three-part podcast series, we'll explore why this industry that's so essential to our health is in trouble — and what could change that.In part one, we examine the history of this industry. Forty years ago this month, President Ronald Reagan signed groundbreaking, bipartisan legislation that gave birth to a new drug market. Lawmakers made choices back then that help explain the wild success and also the troubles we see today with generic medicines.Guests:Christine Baeder, MBA, President, Apotex USAAlfred Engelberg, JD, retired attorney and former counsel to the Generic Pharmaceutical AssociationLeslie Walker, Senior Reporter/Producer, TradeoffsLearn more and read a full transcript on our website.Al Engelberg's recently published memoir, “Breaking the Medicine Monopolies”, digs into the history of generic drugs.

Suddenly, nuclear energy has become the belle of the ball when it comes to future electrical production expectations.After decades of demonization, this energy-dense, cost-effective, always-on solution -- statistically proven to be the safest in the world in terms of lives lost -- is now looked at as the future of green energy and a key component to winning the AI race in the long term.It also offers the promise of even cheaper, safer and more distributed energy as new technical solutions are being released around the world -- including small modular reactors, molten-salt technologies, and the use of less radioactive fuels like thorium.To help us understand what we can count on in the future from the coming nuclear energy boom -- as well as what we likely can't -- we're fortunate to speak today with Kirk Sorensen, President and Chief Technologist at Flibe Energy, who for decades has been a leading advocate for nuclear reactor innovation and thorium-based solutions.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Americans will not have a better year than 2026, at least until 2027. How about that 2025! Remember how happy we were knowing that the New Year would bring President-elect Trump's 2nd term? What a thrill. We reflect on that and the leftist craziness that was to ensue.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After a year that saw no shortage of heavy legal news, Mary and Andrew close out 2025 with an episode of positive judicial developments. They begin with the Supreme Court's decision denying President Trump's request to stay an injunction blocking the federalization of National Guard troops in Illinois, concluding that the statute the government used to justify it first requires an attempt to execute federal laws with the military – which would likely require invocation of the Insurrection Act. And nobody seems to want that. At least not yet. The co-hosts then turn to D.C. District Court Judge Jeb Boasberg's decision on the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act. He wrote that because the U.S. maintained constructive custody over Venezuelans expelled to El Salvador, they are legally owed due process rights. Last up, they note two judges who are demanding proof that the government is not acting vindictively — from the administration's prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the presidential memo that stripped the security clearance of national security lawyer Mark Zaid.Editors' Note: While Andrew and Mary were recording this episode, an order from Judge Crenshaw in Abrego Garcia's criminal case was unsealed. It confirms the DOJ pushed to prosecute Kilmar Abrego Garcia only after he was mistakenly deported.

In this special New Year's Eve edition of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin Mike Baker looks back at the stories from 2025 that didn't quite make it into the President's Daily Brief — not because they weren't real, but because they didn't fit the daily intelligence picture. From a drunken raccoon with a rap sheet in Virginia, to a Christmas brawl on Nantucket that left police reports looking more like classified documents, to Florida man staying firmly on brand, and a “masked intruder” in New York who turned out to be something else entirely — these are the strange, true stories that crossed our radar this year.

Back in September President Trump ordered National Guard troops into Washington DC to restore order — a move that was shocking in its effectiveness. But legally and constitutionally, DC is a unique case. The Supreme Court has blocked the President's attempt to do the same in order to protect ICE agents in Chicago, and your Right Angle team takes a look at the problem from both a practical and philosophical angle.

What happens when the push for smarter crypto wallets runs headfirst into the reality that everything on a public blockchain can be seen by anyone? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I wanted to take listeners who may not live and breathe Web3 every day and introduce them to a problem that is becoming harder to ignore. As Ethereum evolves and smart accounts unlock new wallet features, the surface area for risk grows at the same time. That is where privacy-first Layer 2 solutions enter the conversation, not as an abstract idea, but as a practical response to very real security and usability concerns. My guest is Joe Andrews, Co-founder and President at Aztec Labs. Joe brings an engineering mindset shaped by years of building consumer-facing applications and deep privacy infrastructure. Together, we unpack why privacy and security can no longer be treated as separate topics, especially as Ethereum rolls out more advanced account features. Joe explains how privacy-first Layer 2 networks act as an added line of defense, reducing exposure to threats that come from fully transparent balances, identities, and transaction histories. We also talk about what Aztec actually is, often described as the Private World Computer, and why that framing matters. Joe shares learnings from Aztec's public testnet launch earlier this year, what surprised the team once thousands of nodes were running in the wild, and how the community has stepped up in ways the company itself could not have planned for. There is also an honest discussion about the UK crypto scene, the missed opportunities, and the quiet resilience of builders who continue to ship despite regulatory uncertainty. As we look ahead, Joe outlines what comes next as Aztec moves closer to enabling private transactions on a decentralized network, and why the next phase is less about theory and more about real people using privacy in everyday interactions. If you are curious about how privacy-first Layer 2 solutions fit into Ethereum's roadmap, or why privacy might be the missing piece that finally makes smart wallets usable at scale, does this conversation change how you think about the future of crypto, and where would you like to see this technology go next?

Jim Bianco, President and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research, tells Jim Iuorio that because the Illinois Constitution does not allow a municipality to go bankrupt, Illinoisians will be stuck with the bill when Chicago goes bankrupt. Ray Lopez, Alderman of Chicago's 15th Ward, talks to Jim Iuorio about the possible "green-flight" from Chicago after the Chicago Board of Education secretly raised property taxes $25M.

Longtime Keen on Retirement listeners and friends of the firm are probably familiar with The Big Hat. Matt Wilson, our Chief Investment Officer and President, is the proud owner of an oversized Dow 100,000 cap that he wears on our show from time to time. And when folks visit our offices, such as during our annual Holiday Breakfast, they often spot Matt's hat in his office and have a bit of a chuckle about its pie-in-the-sky prediction. More than once, I've heard someone tell Matt, "Gosh, I'll never see that in my lifetime."  But ... is the Dow hitting 100,000 really all that far-fetched? On our final show of 2025, we look to market history and current trends to give you a head start in your financial planning for 2026.  I also share some stories from my big Hollywood red carpet debut as part of the Keen Wealth Foundation's charitable mission. 

Photos emerged over the weekend showing visibly bruising and bandages on BOTH of Donald Trump's hands, with one photo showing a puncture mark, likely from a needle, in the center of one of the bruises. This has completely destroyed the administration's talking point that these injuries are from shaking hands, and MAGA is losing their minds trying to defend Trump's visible decay. MAGA lunatics took to social media to downplay the new evidence, but no one was buying their garbage. Harmeet Dhillon, Donald Trump's assistant Attorney General for the DOJ's civil rights division, went on an unhinged and profane tirade against MAGA influencers for criticizing the Trump administration. Dhillon seems to have completely lost her mind over the fact that the people who blindly supported Trump for years are not as willing to do so now, so she used a derogatory slur to attack all of them. This didn't sit well with the people she insulted, and is probably going to have the opposite effect of what she intended. A proposed piece of legislation in California would impose a moderate wealth tax on billionaires in the state, forcing them to pay 5% on their net worth over $1 billion. In other words, this is a tax on excessive wealth that billionaires can easily afford. But the tech executives in California are freaking out over it, and they've banded together and are openly plotting ways to remove powerful California Democrats like Ro Khanna. They are going to spend more money trying to buy elections than they would in taxes.Overseeing record numbers of job losses is never something that a President wants to do, but Donald Trump actually seems to be enjoying it. He got on social media recently to BRAG about the record number of government jobs that he has cut since taking office, even though those job losses have helped exacerbate a growing problem of rising unemployment across the country. Republicans have zero empathy for the people whose lives are being ruined by these cuts, and that only makes the problem worse. According to multiple new polls, both domestic and international, Donald Trump is viewed by a majority of Americans and our closest allies as being weak, crazy, and a destabilizing force around the globe. These are not exactly the qualities that anyone - here or abroad - wants to see in the President of the United States, but that's where we are after nearly a year of having Trump back in office. The chances of things getting better are slim to none, so we can expect these already horrific numbers to fall even lower in the future. Donald Trump claims that filing for bankruptcy for his own personal businesses was a smart move (just like when he admitted not paying taxes,) but his penchant for causing bankruptcies is no longer limited to his own companies. Thanks to his trade war, bankruptcies for American businesses have now hit their highest levels in 15 years, putting us back at the levels we saw during the Great Recession. Businesses are closing their doors left and right, even as Republicans keep telling us that they care so deeply about small business owners. Those people are suffering, and Trump and his Republicans remain completely silent. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

What does 2017's KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE (aka Kingsman 2) have to do with New Year's Eve, the holiday season, or even anything in the month of December? NOTHING!  But our original choice wasn't streaming on any services this month, so we decided to finally circle around back to one of our fav fake presidential actors, the legendary Bruce Greenwood, last seen (by us) as the potus in NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS (aka National Treasure 2). This time out Bruce is the unnamed "President of the United States" in an R-rated, edgy, action comedy from a true British Knight, director and co-writer Matthew Vaughn, surrounded by a impressive cast including Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, Emily Mortimer, and introducing the one and only Sir Elton John, in maybe his most outlandish performance ever in front of a camera.

"God save the King" is in the Bible, Psalm 20 specifically.  It is a good prayer for him, or her if you have a Queen.  Who wouldn't want their national leader to have access to the wisdom of the Lord of the universe? This psalm teaches us how to pray for our President or King or Prime Minister.  Our vote is optional, but our prayers are not. Some trust in chariots and some in horses (or tanks) but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. Subscribe and share: https://youtu.be/vX1zO-QSADE

Plan sponsors must still monitor and fulfill their duties, even when delegating to these fiduciaries.Reading service agreements and using checklists clarifies who does what and prevents misunderstandings. Tools like the ARA TPA Checklist help sponsors ask better questions and assess compliance partners effectively.Pooled Employer Plans (PEPs) can expand access but may introduce higher costs, operational complexity, and exit challenges. Sponsors should weigh total cost, services, and fiduciary responsibilities when choosing between PEPs and standalone plans.New benefits managers and advisors benefit from targeted education and responsive compliance partners. Continuous learning and relationship-building ensure fiduciary effectiveness and confident plan management.“Your fiduciary duties are not gone. You are still submitting contributions, you are still supposed to be monitoring your 3(16) fiduciary, you're still supposed to be checking to make sure things are done properly.” - Shannon EdwardsConnect with Shannon Edwards:Website: https://www.tristarpension.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonedwardsplanconsultant/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast are general in nature and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

In this episode, Julia brings together ten women from across the world who each share one word from their own language that sits at the heart of how they lead. Each woman offers her word as a gift: a word that captures how she leads, shaped by where she comes from and what she has lived. As each woman explains why she chose her word, we begin to see how language shapes leading and how it influences the way trust is built, care is expressed, decisions are made, and responsibility is carried. Taken together, the words reveal a wide spectrum of how women lead: with love, joy, service, curiosity, humility, humanity, empathy, trust, integrity, and wisdom. This episode is a reminder that leading is deeply personal and that sometimes, the words we lead with say more than any framework ever could.
