Larry McDonald was a Vice President at Lehman Brothers in 2008, and out of that experience he produced a framework of twenty one indicators of economic health that can also detect early signals of opportunity and danger. His most recent book, How to Listen When Markets Speak, released last year, was early in connecting the dots between past, present and the future that is now. Larry and his research platform, The Bear Traps Report, has a unique and well informed take on what we are seeing right now, with the shock of tariffs, the motivation of the current administration, the resistance of the Fed, and the reaction of markets and businesses. He presents his views on how to amend the 60/40 to ride out the storm, and where the opportunities are.  

This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Marie-Luise, a professional opera singer from Germany who made a bold move after doing 100 solo workouts that led nowhere.She had already been performing a major role- twice. The first time, she promised herself she'd get in better shape for the second round.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's effort to reshape the Middle East aligns neatly with US President Donald J. Trump's notion of big power geopolitics. In 2023, Mr. Netanyahu outlined elements of his vision in an address to the United Nations General Assembly. The prime minister held up a map that erased Palestine and showed the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war, as part of Israel. Mr. Trump's plan to resettle Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians elsewhere and turn the war-ravaged Strip into a high-end beachfront real estate development has allowed Mr. Netanyahu to officially embrace the notion of ethnic cleansing for the first time, even though ultranationalist members of his Cabinet have long propagated expelling Palestinians from the territory. US and Israeli officials said concern that Hamas may repurpose some 30,000 unexploded ordnances was one reason why Mr. Trump proposed resettlement. Even so, Mr. Trump's plan fits a pattern, following his recognition in his first term as president of Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. Since then, Mr. Netanyahu's big power vision of the Middle East has evolved substantially as a result of the toppling in December of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a Turkish-backed group with jihadist antecedents.

Over the last century, society has undergone a massive shift—one that has left many men feeling lost about what it actually means to be a man. Strength and provision were once the cornerstones of masculinity, but with the rise of technology, gender equality, and changing societal roles, men often wonder: Where do I fit in?In this episode, we explore how the women's movement and industrialization changed the balance of power, making survival and physical dominance less relevant while introducing new expectations for men. But rather than seeing this shift as a threat, we break down how men can reclaim their identity, lean into their natural strengths, and redefine leadership in a way that fits today's world.✅ Why men have been given mixed messages about masculinity✅ How women adapted to a changing world while men were left without a clear roadmapcha✅ Why masculinity isn't toxic—confusion about masculinity is✅ How to reclaim your leadership without being controlling or passive

As I delved into the intricacies of Project 2025, I couldn't help but feel a sense of both fascination and alarm. This sprawling initiative, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and involving a myriad of conservative groups and former Trump administration officials, is nothing short of a blueprint for a radical transformation of the U.S. federal government.At its core, Project 2025 is a 900-page manifesto that outlines a vision for a second Trump presidency, one that would usher in sweeping changes across various federal agencies and policy domains. The project is divided into four key pillars: a comprehensive policy guide, a database of potential personnel, a training program for these candidates, and a detailed playbook for the first 180 days in office[3].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its ambition to consolidate executive power. The plan advocates for placing the entire executive branch under direct presidential control, eliminating the independence of agencies like the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This is rooted in a controversial interpretation of the unitary executive theory, which aims to centralize greater control over the government in the White House. As Kevin Roberts, a key figure in the project, put it, "all federal employees should answer to the president"[1].The project's impact on federal agencies is profound. For instance, it proposes dismantling or abolishing several key departments, including the Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Education, in particular, would see its role significantly reduced, with control over education funding and policy transferred to the states. This would include closing the Department of Education and shifting programs under the Individuals with Disabilities' Education Act (IDEA) to the Department of Health and Human Services[1][2].In the realm of education, Project 2025 envisions a future where federal involvement is minimal. It suggests allowing Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to expire, thereby removing $18 billion in federal funds for schools in low-income areas. Instead, public funds would be available as school vouchers, even for parents sending their children to private or religious schools. The Head Start program, which provides essential services to children of low-income families, would be ended, with critics like Roger Severino arguing it does not provide value, though without providing evidence[1][2].The project's stance on environmental policy is equally contentious. It seeks to reverse a 2009 EPA finding that carbon dioxide emissions are harmful to human health, preventing the federal government from regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights would be closed, and the agency would be barred from using private health data to determine the effects of pollution. The expansion of the national electrical grid would be blocked, and funding for renewable energy projects would be curtailed. Instead, the project advocates for the development of vast oil, gas, and coal resources, including Arctic drilling[1].Project 2025 also has a clear agenda on social issues. It proposes criminalizing pornography, removing legal protections against anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, and ending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The DOJ would be tasked with prosecuting what the project terms "anti-white racism," and affirmative action programs would be targeted as violating federal law. Gene Hamilton, a former Trump DOJ official, argued that advancing the interests of certain segments of American society "comes at the expense of other Americans—and in nearly all cases violates longstanding federal law"[1].The project's approach to law enforcement is another area of significant change. The DOJ, described as a "bloated bureaucracy" infatuated with a "radical liberal agenda," would be thoroughly reformed and closely overseen by the White House. The director of the FBI would be personally accountable to the president, and consent decrees between the DOJ and local police departments would be curtailed. Capital punishment would be promoted for "particularly heinous crimes" like pedophilia, and the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service would be authorized to enforce the law in the District of Columbia, which the project describes as "infested with crime"[1].In terms of economic policy, Project 2025 advocates for a flat income tax on individuals, reducing taxes on corporations and capital gains, and cutting Medicare and Medicaid. It suggests merging several statistical agencies, including the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, into a single organization aligned with conservative principles. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would be abolished, and the role of the National Labor Relations Board would be significantly reduced[1].Despite its comprehensive nature, Project 2025 has faced significant criticism and public opposition. Many see it as a dangerous plan to expand presidential power and gut the system of checks and balances. The American public, according to various polls, is largely united in their disapproval of the project's proposals[2].Donald Trump, despite his administration's deep ties to the project, has attempted to distance himself from it. In a social media post, he claimed, "I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal." However, the involvement of former Trump officials and the alignment of the project's proposals with Trump's past policies and current campaign promises suggest a closer connection than he admits[3].As we look to the future, the implications of Project 2025 are far-reaching and profound. If implemented, these policies could fundamentally alter the fabric of American governance, impacting everything from education and environmental protection to law enforcement and economic policy. With Trump's second term underway, the next few months will be crucial in determining how many of these proposals become reality.In the words of Sarah E. Hunt, president of the Joseph Rainey Center for Public Policy, "The Inflation Reduction Act is crucial, and it is vital that Republicans engage in supporting good energy and climate policy." Her sentiments reflect a broader concern among many Americans: that Project 2025's vision for the future may be at odds with the nation's long-term well-being and the principles of democratic governance[1].As the nation navigates this complex and contentious landscape, one thing is clear: Project 2025 represents a pivotal moment in American politics, one that will shape the course of the country for years to come. Whether its ambitious plans will be realized remains to be seen, but the debate it has sparked is undeniable—a testament to the enduring power of ideas and the unyielding spirit of public discourse.

As I delved into the intricacies of Project 2025, a blueprint crafted by the Heritage Foundation for a potential second Donald Trump presidency, I was struck by the sheer scope and ambition of its proposals. This 900-page document is more than just a policy guide; it is a comprehensive plan to reshape the federal government, consolidate executive power, and implement a far-right agenda that touches nearly every aspect of American life.At its core, Project 2025 is about centralizing power in the White House. The plan advocates for the elimination of the independence of key federal agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This aligns with the unitary executive theory, which posits that the president should have complete control over the executive branch. As Kevin Roberts, a key figure in the project, put it, "all federal employees should answer to the president"[1].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its approach to federal staffing. The plan proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees, allowing for their replacement with individuals loyal to the president. This is not a new idea; during Trump's first term, he established the Schedule F job classification by executive order, which was later rescinded by President Biden. However, with Trump's return to office, this classification has been revived, paving the way for a significant purge of federal employees deemed disloyal[1].The project's impact on education is equally profound. It envisions a drastic reduction in the federal government's role in public education, advocating for the closure of the Department of Education and transferring its responsibilities to the states. This would mean the end of federal funding for programs like Title I, which provides $18 billion annually to schools in low-income areas, and the Head Start program, which supports children from low-income families. Instead, public funds would be channeled into school vouchers that could be used for private or religious schools, a move that critics argue would exacerbate educational inequality[1][3].In the realm of healthcare, Project 2025 proposes significant cuts to social safety nets. It recommends reducing funding for Medicare and Medicaid, and ending programs aimed at forgiving student loans. The plan also targets the National Institutes of Health (NIH), suggesting a reduction in its independence and the defunding of stem cell research. These changes are part of a broader agenda to align scientific research with conservative principles, with a particular emphasis on reducing funding for climatology research and reversing the EPA's finding that carbon dioxide emissions are harmful to human health[1].Environmental policies are another critical area where Project 2025 seeks to make its mark. The plan advocates for the relaxation of regulations on the fossil fuel industry, the expansion of oil and gas drilling, and the blocking of the transition to renewable energy. Diana Furchtgott-Roth, the Heritage Foundation's energy and climate director, has suggested that the EPA should support the consumption of more natural gas, despite concerns from climatologists about the increased methane emissions. The project also proposes incentives for the public to challenge climatology research, further undermining efforts to address climate change[1].The project's stance on law enforcement and justice is equally contentious. It calls for the reform of the DOJ to combat what it terms "affirmative discrimination" or "anti-white racism," and proposes that the DOJ's Civil Rights Division should prosecute state and local governments, institutions of higher education, and private employers with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The plan also suggests curtailing legal settlements between the DOJ and local police departments and authorizing the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service to enforce the law in the District of Columbia, a move that critics argue would further militarize law enforcement[1].Project 2025's economic policies are designed to favor corporations and reduce regulatory oversight. It recommends the abolition of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the shrinkage of the National Labor Relations Board, and the merger of several statistical agencies into a single organization aligned with conservative principles. The plan also advocates for a flat income tax, reduced taxes on corporations and capital gains, and the relaxation of regulations on small businesses, particularly in rural areas[1].Despite Trump's public disavowal of Project 2025, the alignment between its proposals and his policies is striking. As CBS News noted, at least 270 proposals in the project's blueprint match Trump's past policies and current campaign promises. Trump's recent actions, such as establishing a review council to advise on changes to FEMA, align with Project 2025's call to shift disaster response costs to states and local governments[4][5].The reaction to Project 2025 has been overwhelmingly negative from many quarters. Critics argue that it would gut the system of checks and balances, create an imperial presidency, and devastate public education and social safety nets. The National Education Association (NEA) has warned that the project's education reforms would deny vulnerable students the resources they need to succeed. Environmental groups have condemned the project's climate policies as disastrous and misguided[2][3].As I reflect on the scope and ambition of Project 2025, it is clear that this initiative represents a fundamental shift in how the federal government operates and the values it upholds. The project's architects see it as a last opportunity to save what they perceive as a beleaguered republic, but critics see it as a dangerous blueprint for extremism and authoritarianism.Looking ahead, the implementation of Project 2025's proposals will depend on various factors, including legislative support and public opposition. As the American public becomes more aware of the project's details, their opposition is likely to grow. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether this vision for a radically reshaped federal government becomes a reality or remains a contentious blueprint on the fringes of American politics. One thing is certain: the stakes are high, and the future of American governance hangs in the balance.

Back in late 2004, one of the most devastating disasters in modern history struck – a massive earthquake under the Indian Ocean triggered a tsunami that reshaped entire coastlines.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sprawling initiative crafted by the Heritage Foundation and former Trump administration officials, it becomes clear that this is more than just a policy blueprint – it's a vision for a radical restructuring of the American government.Project 2025 is presented as a comprehensive guide for the next conservative president, encapsulated in a 900-page manual titled "Mandate For Leadership." This document outlines a sweeping agenda that touches nearly every facet of American life, from immigration and abortion rights to free speech and racial justice. The project's authors, many of whom have direct ties to Trump's first administration, aim to institutionalize what Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts calls "Trumpism"[1][4].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its proposal to centralize executive power, aligning with the unitary executive theory that advocates for greater presidential control over the government. This vision includes placing the entire executive branch under direct presidential control, eliminating the independence of agencies like the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Federal Trade Commission. Roberts succinctly captures this ambition: "All federal employees should answer to the president"[2].The project's impact on federal agencies is profound. For instance, it recommends merging the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics into a single entity, with a mission aligned with conservative principles. This includes maximizing the hiring of political appointees in statistical analysis positions, a move that raises concerns about the politicization of data[2].In the realm of economic policy, Project 2025 suggests abolishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and shrinking the role of the National Labor Relations Board, which protects employees' rights to organize and fight unfair labor practices. The Economic Development Administration at the Department of Commerce would either be abolished or repurposed to assist rural communities allegedly harmed by the Biden administration's energy policies[2].Education is another area where Project 2025 seeks significant changes. The proposal includes closing the Department of Education and transferring control over education funding and policy to the states. Federal enforcement of civil rights in schools would be curtailed, with responsibilities shifted to the Department of Justice, which would enforce laws only through litigation. This approach is justified by the project's authors as a response to what they see as federal overreach prioritizing "racial parity in school discipline indicators" over student safety[2].The project's stance on climate change is particularly contentious. It advocates for reversing the EPA's 2009 finding that carbon dioxide emissions are harmful to human health, thereby preventing federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights would be closed, and the expansion of the national electrical grid would be blocked to hinder the transition to renewable energy. Instead, the project promotes the development of oil, gas, and coal resources, including Arctic drilling, and encourages allied nations to use fossil fuels[2].Project 2025 also delves into law enforcement and justice, proposing a thorough reform of the Department of Justice to combat what it terms "affirmative discrimination" or "anti-white racism." The DOJ's Civil Rights Division would prosecute state and local governments, institutions of higher education, and private employers with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) or affirmative action programs. This approach is rooted in the belief that such programs violate federal law and come at the expense of other Americans[2].The project's authors are not shy about their intentions. As Paul Dans, the former director of Project 2025, wrote, "To execute requires a well-conceived, coordinated, unified plan and a trained and committed cadre of personnel to implement it." This plan includes a LinkedIn-style database of personnel loyal to a conservative administration, a Presidential Administration Academy to train these candidates, and a playbook of actions to be taken within the first 180 days in office[4][5].Despite Trump's public disavowal of Project 2025, the connections between the initiative and his administration are undeniable. At least 140 people who worked on Project 2025 previously worked in Trump's administration, and Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts has described the project as "institutionalizing Trumpism"[1].Experts and critics alike have sounded the alarm about the potential implications of Project 2025. Dr. Emma Shortis from The Australia Institute notes that the project "shines a light on the significance of what is happening and the danger of what Trump is doing." She highlights the broad proposals to review climate action and rescind policies from the Biden administration, including a ban on new offshore oil and gas drilling[5].As we look to the future, it is clear that Project 2025 represents a critical juncture in American governance. With its sweeping policy proposals and centralized vision of executive power, this initiative has the potential to reshape the very fabric of the U.S. government. As the country navigates the complexities of this blueprint, it remains to be seen how these policies will be implemented and what their long-term effects will be.In the words of Kevin Roberts, "The nation is in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." Whether this revolution will be bloodless or not, one thing is certain: Project 2025 is a call to action that will have far-reaching consequences for the future of American democracy[4].

Those of a certain vintage might remember Michael Douglas's iconic line from the Oliver Stone film "Wall Street." Douglas who played Gordon Gekko, said "greed is good," and essentially represented the spirit of the 1980s. But it was also a time of resistance, creativity, and hope, according to our next guest. Retiring NDP MP Charlie Angus documents it all in his new book, "Dangerous Memory: Coming of Age in the Decade of Greed."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lainey Newman, co-author of Rust Belt Union Blues, joins the pod to shed light on how deindustrialization and globalization have weakened organized labor, particularly in regions like the Rust Belt. We discuss how these changes have left a void filled by conservative organizations and cultural movements, leading to a significant realignment of working-class voters towards the Republican Party. Lainey traces the peak of union influence in the 1950s to its gradual decline from the 1970s onward. We discuss the evolving relationship between unions and political parties, examining how cultural and identity-based issues have impacted voting behaviors and party alignments. From the friction within the Democratic Party's coalition over cultural issues to the unintended consequences of political strategies - were these dynamics inevitable or could have been foreseen and mitigated?From the fallout of not bailing out the steel industry in the 1970s to the perceived cultural and ideological challenges associated with figures like Kamala Harris, we discuss the long-term implications of these decisions on union and working class voters, and what the Democratic Party needs to do to win these voters back.-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

Watch ThePrint Word of the Year for 2024 is ‘khatakhat', a catchphrase coined by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the 2024 Lok Sabha campaign which reshaped India's political economy. Unlike PM Narendra Modi's 2022 critique of ‘revdi culture', which failed to gain traction, ‘khatakhat' resonated because it was ideology-free, focused on immediate, non-controversial benefits like financial assistance and job guarantees, especially for women and farmers. In Episode 1582 of #CutTheClutter, ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at how ‘khatakhat' forced BJP, others to adopt populist strategies they once opposed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch Rahul Gandhi's Jhansi Speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1sFOe2E1mo

Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, continues a series through the book of Genesis. Today, we explore Genesis 30 to see how the gospel radically redefines our identity and frees us from harmful patterns like envy and jealousy. This passage may not seem life-changing at first glance, but it reveals critical truths about the human heart. In the lives of Rachel, Leah, Jacob, and Laban, we see envy kill intimacy and jealousy isolate, as each one struggles for personal gain. Yet, the gospel offers redemption, grounding our worth in Christ rather than in what we can achieve. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of the gospel, which frees us from competition and comparison to live for God's glory and the benefit of others.Missioncity.church________________________________Sermon Notes are available at missioncity.church/watch/
