Podcasts about Ronald Reagan

In this packed episode of The Joe Concha Show, Joe breaks down the dramatic heroics aboard a hijacked flyDubai flight to Tel Aviv, unloads on the brutal California gubernatorial debate between Steve Hilton and Javier Becerra and analyzes key midterm election battles across Minnesota, Michigan, and Texas. Plus, quick-hitting commentary on Donald Trump's take on California elections, Charles Barkley calling out far-left policies, Michael Fanone targeting Fox News, JD Vance on Social Security & a throwback to Ronald Reagan calling a Cubs game.

Share a commentCriticism can harden you or soften you, and the difference shows up in how you treat people who have nothing to offer you. We start with a surprising window into Abraham Lincoln's presidency: mocked daily, threatened constantly, and yet remarkably available to the overlooked. That kind of openhearted attention feels rare in any era, and it sets up the deeper question we all face in church life: when we're tired, irritated, or different from each other, do we retreat or do we move closer?From there we look at Jesus, who consistently crosses the lines everyone else protects. He speaks with the Samaritan woman, stops for the desperate, touches the untouchable, and turns interruptions into mercy. It's easy to admire that from a distance and then excuse ourselves with “I'm not Jesus.” But Peter won't let us off the hook. In 2 Peter 1:5-7, brotherly affection is not optional, not automatic, and not reserved for people with a naturally warm personality. It's a deliberate supplement to faith that makes our lives fruitful and effective.We unpack what “brotherly love” means in the New Testament, why the local church is meant to function like a family, and why our self-focused culture makes this so hard. We also share practical, grounded observations: real love is practiced one act at a time, cultivated supernaturally through repeated choices, and expressed through small deposits of grace that honor others. A member testimony and Ronald Reagan's unforgettable act of kindness bring it all down to street level: time, attention, and warmth that the world can't explain.If this challenged you, subscribe for more, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Jon Harris joins Ryan Helfenbein for a wide-ranging conversation about the history of the Religious Right, the fracturing of the conservative coalition, and the growing temptation among some Christians to burn down the political system rather than work within it. Jon explains how evangelicals went from being largely sidelined by the Republican establishment to having a meaningful seat at the political table—and why he believes Christians should be careful before throwing that influence away. They discuss:• How the Religious Right emerged in the 1970s and 1980s• Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Ronald Reagan, and the rise of the Moral Majority• How Donald Trump changed the relationship between evangelicals and the Republican coalition• The growing divide within the conservative movement• The danger of accelerationism and “burn it all down” politics• Why Christians should recognize political gains without compromising personal virtue• Why virtue and religious faith are foundational to a free society• Why politics is the “art of the possible”• The importance of Christians becoming informed, getting involved, and building better institutions• Why Christians should not “throw away the ladder” when there is still an opportunity to climb. Ultimately, this conversation is about more than elections. It is about whether Christians will patiently build, preserve what has been gained, and cultivate the virtue necessary for a free society. Jon Harris is the author of Against the Waves: Christian Order in a Liberal Age and host of Conversations That Matter.

California has become a state where everyone gets guaranteed housing, health care, college, and even smartphones — just as long as they're illegal immigrants rather than citizens. Kenneth Schrupp of City Journal exposes the blue state scam so severe most ordinary Americans simply refuse to believe it. Sean Davis reacts to a clueless GOP ad targeting its own base. Actor Kevin Sorbo touts the new edition of his Ronald Reagan biopic and talks about the legacy America's 40th president leaves today. Tyler Bowyer explains the evidence for hard-to-reach Republicans and why it should keep everyone motivated as the midterms approach. Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  1:50   Welcome to GRE from Wheeling, West Virginia, to Whiting, Indiana, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and you're listening to Get Rich Education. Before I get into basically giving your rental property a raise with the top five ways to increase its income, first let's get the context of pulling back and understanding your compelling why for all of this. You may or may not like investment property itself-it's more likely rather that you love what it does for you. That's how it is for me. What do most people do? It's like they're training for the Grind Olympics. Are you doing this too? But you don't remember signing up? I mean, that's kind of what the day job is, society's vortex gradually pulls you into it. The investment property is what gradually tilts you out of it, or it gives you that option. For so many, the day job, it's sort of like this competition that really no one officially announces it yet. Millions enter it. Who can work the longest hours? Who can answer the most emails? Who can miss the most family dinners? Who can delay their life the longest? And at the end of it all, something we call retirement. If you're a winner, not a loser. The winner, you receive a gold-colored watch, lukewarm sheet cake, and a little party at age 65, and that's assuming that the finish line hasn't been moved to 70.   Keith Weinhold  3:40   This is especially bad and prevalent in the United States, where you start out with just two weeks vacation. That's about the worst grind in the developed world. I really myself started questioning this lifestyle when I was a teenager, and this is because my older friends, sort of those that were getting into their late teens, they were relatable to me, and they started going down this path and telling me about it. And suddenly, they couldn't play baseball or tennis with me during the day because they started working during their summers. Now that's not so bad in itself, but stay with me. I also looked at the adults around me and noticed that most traded the majority of their waking hours for work that they didn't even like. Now, my dad was a good worker. He worked 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. faithfully Monday to Friday, and despite being a good worker, he certainly didn't love his job. As a teen, then I found it confounding that so many people were working Monday through Friday, primarily why, primarily to reach the weekend. Wednesday was celebrated as. Day, this sort of strange admission that the work week was something to climb over and survive. You're surrendering 50 weeks to earn two weeks of vacation. You're repeating that very bargain for 40 years and hoping you still have enough money, energy, and health to enjoy retirement. And what puzzled me most was where this was happening. We are not some impoverished nation with paltry resources and limited opportunity. This is the United States, the most powerful and perhaps the most prosperous nation in the world.   Keith Weinhold  5:40   This is the part that I still can't work out in my head. Almost everybody falls into a narrow, rigid groove and grinds. Eventually, the groove becomes a rut. Then the rut gets a job title and a dental plan. Many even form their identity around this. Fear is the number one motivator that gets employees to show up at work. So then, do most people lead fear-based lives? It's almost insane. Sheesh! We have skyscrapers, interstate highways, world-class universities, abundant natural resources, advantageous geography, rule of law. We've got vast capital markets. We've got technology that sent people to the moon before I was born. Endless possibilities, but yet the standard life plan is to spend our most vivacious years doing something that we didn't even want to do. What a paradox! How could a nation create so much wealth while so many people have such little control over their own time? Even then, as a teenager, I remember thinking, "Gosh, there has got to be a better way than this system somehow. I didn't yet know the way, so I started going to college at age 18.   Keith Weinhold  7:16   But this path put me on that same trajectory of get good grades, land a job, max up my 401k, which would reduce my salary, and work for four decades, and then cross my fingers and just somehow hope that promotions, inflation, taxes, a stock market that I couldn't control, and life itself would cooperate. I mean, that plan could kind of work, but your time is still doing most of the work. Your employer rents your time usually one hour at a time, and if you stop supplying the hours, then soon enough your income stops too. Capital compound. labor doesn't. The better path is to gradually separate your income from your time. That's what I began doing when, while I was working full time, I bought my first income-producing rental property a few years later, a few years after college, in fact, doing that on the side, divergent, black sheep. I was stepping out of the groove. Now I own an asset that created leverage and income, whether I'm working, sleeping, camping, climbing a mountain, or spending time with my family. So the goal then it's not to avoid hard work entirely. I mean, meaningful work that can even provide some purpose and achievement and pride. But what provides wealth? What are you going to do for that? Wealth is what happens when you're not working. Wealth is what happens when you're sleeping. Labor produces income. Assets create wealth. Grinding should be a season, even your contribution to society, but not your primarily financial strategy. So the bottom line is that we don't want to win the grind Olympics, income-producing assets help us build a life that we don't have to postpone. The entire conventional life plan, the whole thing, just never felt right to me. Intuitively and rationally, deep down, you know, think to yourself: Doesn't at least some part of you feel that way too? Thank God that I found real estate. I don't love it. I love what it does for me. You've got to love what it does for you.   Keith Weinhold  9:54   One attribute that your income property gives you is control. So. With that in mind, I put together the top five ways to increase your rental property income countdown style from number five to number one. Since you do own an asset that you can control, so we're talking about giving your rental property a raise here, and you know your property does not even need to appreciate in order for you to make it more valuable, your property doesn't need to sit around waiting for the market to appreciate like it's waiting for a promotion from corporate or something, which always takes too long. You can manufacture more income yourself. So net operating income or NOI, it only has two moving parts. It is property income minus operating expenses. Push income up or pull expenses down, and you've effectively given yourself a raise. Better yet, on an income-valued property like a five-plus unit apartment building, every additional dollar of NOI can create far more than $1 of property value. So here are the top five ways to increase your property's income.   Keith Weinhold  11:10   The fifth best way is to add ancillary income, because monthly rent it's not the only asset inside your property. Now, depending on what property type you have and what the local laws are, you can charge for pets, parking, storage, laundry, furnishings. You can charge for internet packages, utility reimbursement, reserved garages, upgraded amenities, or you can even charge in some cases for application, administrative, or lease break fees. The best ancillary income it provides something that the resident genuinely values. We're here to serve and give value to others. Importantly, it should feel like an option for your tenant with these things, not some toll booth placed between the tenant and their front door. We know how annoying it is to have a tip screen swung around and placed in your face. Even an additional 25 or $50 per unit each month that can become meaningful across several properties. The fourth best way is to cut your controllable operating expenses, and you know what most investors do, and it is easy to fall into this, and I certainly have too at times. You know, most investors they carefully negotiate the property's purchase price at the beginning, and then they spend years casually accepting every recurring bill, audit your expenses rather than just accepting last year's cost plus inflation.   Keith Weinhold  12:49   So closely look at your property management fees, landscaping and snow removal, pest control, cleaning, trash service, water consumption, and any leaks that you might have. Common area electricity, repair labor and material markups, service contracts, and preventive maintenance. Gosh, I really lost a lot of money in pest control one time when the pest would just move from one apartment unit to the other, and we just couldn't get it trapped or stopped. Loyalty is admirable in marriage. It is less compelling when your landscaping company raises its price 14% every year. So solicit competing bids, consolidate your vendors where you can, install efficient fixtures where the payback period makes sense and where the break-even math works. But now, don't confuse expense reduction with maintenance neglect.   Keith Weinhold  13:53   That is one danger. So you know, if you delay a $300 repair until it becomes a $3,000 emergency, well, that really doesn't increase your NOI. It merely makes this month's numbers lie. Now, as I tell you about this list, you might think sometimes, "Oh, I've heard of that one before. Okay, but yeah, are you actually doing it? The third best way to increase your property's income is to challenge taxes and shop insurance because property taxes and insurance they are really among your property's largest operating expenses. So therefore, if you get good at this, you can both increase your net income and you will have gained a new skill that you can apply later and elsewhere. Yet you know a lot of owners they treat property tax and insurance sort of like the weather. They complain about them and then they just assume that nothing can be done. Possible moves that you can make are appealing in excessive property tax assessment, correct inaccurate property records. You can compare insurance carriers as often as annually. Adjust your deductibles when it's appropriate. Be sure you remove redundant coverage. Make sure that there's no overlap there. You can add safety or resilience improvements that qualify for insurance discounts, and then at the same time, sometimes that improves your property's value. You can check the property's classification and claims history for any errors there. So you know every legitimate dollar saved that flows directly into your NOI, your net operating income. Remember, mortgage payments though they do not factor into NOI. Neither do major capital expenditures. Refinancing can improve your cash flow, but that does not increase the property's NOI, and that's what we're talking about today. But when it comes to property tax appeals, you remember a while back on the show, perhaps a year ago, I went into detail on just how you can do that.   Keith Weinhold  16:00   Now we're up to number two. The second best way to increase your NOI is to raise rents intelligently, and really this is the most obvious strategy. But it isn't as simple as typing a larger number into your renewal letter and then just sort of hoping that your tenant doesn't notice. Bring rents closer to market without automatically chasing the absolute maximum. That can include gradual increases at renewal, premiums for upgraded units. How about a premium for the unit with the best view? If you have one of those, higher rent for furnished units, appropriate charges for garages or shorter lease terms. I mean, shorter lease terms, like a six month instead of a 12 month, that can get you a bump up in the rent. Be sure to eliminate any unnecessary concessions, like the first month's rent is free. Do you really have to continue to do that? And use better listing photos and copy to support higher rents. It's easy to have AI write some good snappy copy for you today. So the objective here is economic occupancy, not merely the highest advertised rent, because raising the rent $100, if that's going to create an extra month of vacancy that is stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. Know the market, understand the tenant, and make increases that improve NOI rather than merely improving the asking price for the REM. And the top way, the number one way to increase NOI is reduce vacancy and turnover. Yes, you might have heard that before, but it is still the most overlooked NOI lever, even though it's number one. An occupied unit at a sensible rent that often produces more income than an overpriced empty one.   Keith Weinhold  17:58   The way to improve your occupancy is by you starting renewal conversations 60 to 90 days before that lease comes due. Respond quickly to maintenance requests. I mean, few things frustrate a tenant more than a ceiling that is leaked for a month. Pre-market an upcoming vacancy that you have. Start that process early. Complete your turns faster, screen residents carefully, and unless you're in an especially hot market, consider offering renewal incentives when turnover would cost you substantially more than doing that. So there are a bunch of ideas for reducing vacancy and turnover. Another one, more of a modern-day one, is for you to buy and operate new build property because tenants tend to stay in new builds longer. They love that feeling that no one has ever lived there before. Suppose a unit rents for $1,800 a month. All right. Well, then one vacant month costs you $1,800 before cleaning, repairs, utilities, advertising, and leasing expenses. So the true cost of that turnover could easily be three or $4,000. And when you consider that, then giving a good resident a $250 one time renewal incentive that doesn't look generous that looks profitable for you. Keeping a responsible tenant, you know that might be the biggest quote unquote rent increase available. Just simply keeping a responsible tenant because occupied properties produce income, and empty properties produce invoices.   Keith Weinhold  19:48   Now that I've told you about the five ways to increase your property's income, let me give you some more motivation for this. It's about how $250 can become 50. $1,000. Suppose you select just a few of these five improvements, and say that that increases your NOI by just $250 per month. Okay, that's nice. That's cash in your pocket, and if you happen to apply it to a five-plus unit apartment building, since it's also valued on NOI. You take 250 bucks times 12. That is $3,000 a year at a 6% capitalization rate. Take 3000 divided by point 06. That is $50,000. You just created 50k of additional property value from only $250 of monthly NOI creation. Yeah, you are up 50k now, and here's the thing: you did not do anything that substantial. It's not like you added another story to a property, or you discovered oil underneath your parking lot, or you convinced a celebrity to move in. Okay, these are practical things that you can do in control. You simply operated the property better, and this forced appreciation relationship that applies most directly, though, to commercial and larger multifamily properties because those are the types that are valued based upon their income. A single-family rental or a duplex or a fourplex that is generally appraised primarily through comparable sales. So its higher NOI might not immediately produce the same increase in appraised value, but in either case, higher NOI it still means more cash flow for you, a stronger financial cushion, and a better performing investment. The bottom line here is that you can wait for the market to increase your property's value, or you can operate the property better and create value yourself, raise income, control expenses, and keep good residents. That is how you improve NOI without increasing your blood pressure.   Keith Weinhold  22:10   Coming up on the next few shows, we're going to speak with the original co-author of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. Yes, we had Robert Kiyosaki on here earlier this year, but we're going to talk with the co-author alongside Robert Kiyosaki. A lot of people don't know who that is. That is going to be interesting on another upcoming episode. The man that wrote the book on the 8020 rule called the Pareto principle, he will be here. That's where 80% of the results come from. 20% of the effort. So here on GRE, there's a lot of education, strategy, and mindset coming up straight ahead today. When stocks crash, what happens to real estate? That's next. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to Get Rich Education. Let me ask you something: If you've worked hard to build wealth, is your money positioned to actually support your goals. A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value.

Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  24:49   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold, and this is episode 625. AI songs are becoming more popular. Fortunately. AI podcast hosts-they really aren't that much of a thing yet, or else I might not be here. Thank goodness that listeners still want to hear from a real person. When stocks crash, what happens to home prices? Since 1980, there have been 10 or more major stock downturns. Guess how many of those cause national home prices to crash? Exactly zero. Now there was one pretty enormous housing decline, but that one started in housing. And what happens next? It reveals something that every real estate investor should understand a lot like real estate right now. Stocks are hovering near their all-time highs. Okay, both major assets, real estate and stocks, bumping up against all-time highs. There is a predictable rhythm about what happens to real estate when stocks crash. Now, when we look at stocks' seven big downturns that occurred just this century, as measured by the S&P 500, you know, first a lot of people think that stocks are overvalued here in the late 2020s. That is based on measures like the historic P/E ratio, the Shiller cape ratio, and the Buffett indicator. I mean, some investors are just disillusioned by how stocks' movement makes so little sense anymore. For example, when the latest labor number showed that 162,000 jobs were added in a month. That tripled expectations. I mean, people should have been like, "Hey, go USA! This is great. People are employed. All that. Nope. The stock market fell specifically in response to that. Why? Because strong employment increases the chances of higher interest rates, and sure enough, the Fed did then raise rates.   Keith Weinhold  27:09   Oh, geez, what? So a labor market collapse is then bad for America, and that's good for stocks. Yes, that is how it works. That is just stupid. So, with that context in mind, let's see what actually happened to national home prices this century during all the major stock market downturns that were not caused by housing, and then we'll get back to housings. Okay, during the dot-com bust in 9/11, that whole period about 25 years ago, stocks again. This is all per the S and p5 100 crashed 49% Home prices were up 23% during that time. We'll get back to the global financial crisis shortly. During the 2011 debt ceiling crisis, do you even remember that stocks went down 19 percent. Home prices went down just slightly, 1 percent. During the 2018 Fed tightening and trade war sell-off, stocks were down 20 percent, a classic bear market. Home prices were up 1 percent. Then came COVID. In barely a month, stocks plunged a jaw-dropping 34% This was in 2020. It was like a flash crash. What happened to home prices then? They were up 1% just a little. So, are you beginning to see a pattern, or perhaps a lack of one here during 2022's inflation peak and Fed tightening bear market stocks fell 25 percent. Home prices they were up 4% during that time period, and then during the 2025 tariff sell-off, you might remember Trump called that Liberation Day. Stocks were down 19 percent. Home prices. were essentially unchanged.   Keith Weinhold  29:06   All right, so there they were: six major stock market downturns this century, not one housing crash. All right, now let's turn the telescope around because 2008 was different since the crash was real estate induced, and it is the only time in the life of you or I or anyone alive today, even a 90-year-old, where national home prices took a significant fall. In fact, they were down 27 percent, and it took them a few years to fall that much. All right. Well, what did stocks do during this period? They fell even more, down 57% more than twice as much, 57% I mean, just imagine having a million-dollar stock portfolio and seeing its value cave in, down to 430k from a million. Okay, that's what really happened march 6, 2009, when the S and P hit its global financial crisis low, and that happened over a 17 month stock collapse. Okay, so what's really the summary? It is that in the six times that stocks led a price crash this century. Real estate held up, or it rose, and the one time real estate led the crash, stocks fell more than twice as much.   Keith Weinhold  30:31   It was 27 %versus 57%. All right. Well, that is what's happened this century. But you know this cause and effect relationship or lack thereof, that didn't just begin happening in 2000. When we stretch the history back to 1980, which is Jimmy Carter, almost Ronald Reagan era days, stocks had four more big downturns. We had the Volcker Bear Market, the famous 1987 Black Monday stock market crash, the Gulf War sell-off, and the LTCM crisis. During those four stock crashes, home prices also either stayed resilient or they rose. All right. Well, all of this is because homes and stocks, you know, they just aren't connected by some push and pull relationship. Stocks reprice in seconds. Fear spreads. Algorithms sell, and billions of dollars can disappear before lunch. Instead, housing moves more like a cargo ship that you're trying to turn around in the Mississippi River, it can take a long time. Housing transactions take months. Prices depend on local supply and local incomes, and mortgage availability, and whether homeowners are actually forced to sell. Housing provides something that every human actually needs and cannot be easily disrupted by AI. I mean, AI still cannot download a three-bedroom house onto a vacant lot. And of course, during any stock crash, what else happens with real estate? Your rent just keeps coming in as well. So the bottom line here is we're learning from history rather than having a hunch again. Home prices don't react to stock market crashes. Stock crashes and housing downturns are different events.   Keith Weinhold  32:32   A falling stock market it can eventually weaken consumer confidence. In in a severe recession, some of that can trickle in and affect housing, but history shows that a stock crash alone has not caused national home prices to fall. When stocks scream, real estate just kind of shrugs. Now, as we get back to talking about today, with real estate being cash flow challenged, you usually need a deal in order to make the numbers work. And as we know, for more than two years now, it has been wise to buy new build property and have that home builder buy down your mortgage rate rather than getting a property price discount. And do you realize that it actually works out better for you in almost every case for you to get your rate bought down than it is to get a discount. Yeah, it is often substantially better. Let's just think about an example. Say you're putting a 20% down payment on a 300k property at a seven and a half percent mortgage rate. Okay, let's compare your seller discounting the purchase price by 20k versus them instead using 20k to buy down your mortgage rate. All right, in the first scenario, let's call it then a purchase price reduction. The seller reduces it from 300k down to 280k. Your monthly payment would be 1566 $1,566. All right. Well, then your monthly savings from the price discount would be $112. You would also need 4k less for the down payment. Okay, 112 bucks a month is helpful to you.   Keith Weinhold  34:18   That might buy you dinner for two at the Olive Garden or something, at a wildly overpriced airport convenience store. By the way, this is a bottle of water and one almond, 112 bucks. Okay, but now let's compare it with the second option. If instead of a price discount, you pay the full 300k and use the 20k as a seller credit, a credit from the seller, and you use that to permanently buy the mortgage rate from seven and a half down to five and a half percent. In this case, even though it's a larger amount financed, your monthly payment is no longer 1566. It's just 1363, so your monthly savings is no longer 112 bucks. That Olive Garden dinner for two, it is 315 bucks. So therefore, using the seller credit instead of reducing the purchase price that ups your monthly cash flow by about 203 bucks. All right, and this was just an illustration. It's not a universal lender rate sheet carved into a stone tablet. But the larger lesson remains. Okay, terms are often more important than price. Negotiate the financing. That is the lesson. And of course, you can try to use this most anywhere with any seller, but it's been especially popular with American home builders for two plus years now.   Keith Weinhold  35:47   The bottom line is that the best deal isn't always the property with the lowest price; it is the one with the best financing, and it's one of the strategies that Mid South Homebuyers is going to offer on Wednesday night's webinar just two days away, and there's no negotiation needed. They are offering this, and it's where I'm going to be appearing live, and you're invited to join us from the comfort of your home or a coffee shop or wherever you are. So we're talking about properties in Memphis, Little Rock, and North Texas. New build properties for as little as about 200k, and some fully renovated resale properties for as little as 150k, and even less than that. Now, low price isn't reason enough to own an income property, but it's the fact that you get a strong rent in a stable market to support that, and they're offering what they call their triple five terms. They'll buy your mortgage rate down into the fives and provide property management for just a 5% fee for five years. And I just learned that for attendees of Wednesday night's event, they will even announce a promo code there, and you will get triple five terms for life on both financed and cash deals.   Keith Weinhold  37:12   And you know, I've got to say that when I began in real estate investing, I wish that any of this would have existed. Like when I began, I wish there even would have been new build property available. They just didn't even have that for income property when I started out. And the fact that it's managed for you from day one, I didn't know about that when I started out. I thought I had to invest only in my home market and then manage it myself. And here you get investor advantaged geographic markets, and then if that's not enough, you get that rate buy down into the fives and property management costs. It's basically cut in half to help improve your property's cash flow, and you can almost think of this as lifetime cash flow. You get to control a sustainable business model that's resistant to AI disruption, and yeah, it's sustainable. I mean, people will pay you to live there. That has happened for centuries. It's sort of the opposite of a cryptocurrency that will not exist in two years. It happens Wednesday night. You'll get to see me live along with the renowned providers from Mid South Homebuyers and their properties and their generous incentives and all the new AI investment that's acting as a tailwind coming into Memphis. Registration is free at getricheducation.com/midsouth. It's 8p.m. Eastern on Wednesday night. I'll see you there, getricheduceducation.com/midsouth. Until next week, I'm your host Keith Weinhold.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Some prayers don't fit on a coffee mug, and Psalm 35 is one of them. We start with Scripture that asks God for justice when the innocent are harmed and when enemies gloat, then we connect that kind of honest faith to the world we actually live in. If you've ever wondered whether “keeping the peace” has become an excuse for cowardice, this conversation goes straight at that tension.We also revisit the Telford child sexual exploitation scandal in the UK and the devastating consequences of institutional failure, public fear, and discouraged reporting. That leads to Proverbs 31 and a direct command we can't dodge: speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, defend the poor and the needy, and judge fairly. The thread running through it all is responsibility, not just for our own families, but for the vulnerable people who have nobody else to stand between them and abuse.From there, we bring it home with 1 Peter 3 on marriage, honor, and a gentle, peaceful spirit, then 1 Corinthians 11 on the Lord's Supper, self-examination, and the danger of treating worship lightly while ignoring division and neglect. We remember 9/11 victims, tell the Medal of Honor story of Sergeant First Class Christopher Andrew Siles, and reflect on the Tomb of the Unknowns and what a nation chooses to honor. We close with a simple conviction: the best thing we can do to preserve liberty and strengthen our communities is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, then we pray the Lord's Prayer together.If this helped you think more clearly and live more faithfully, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#AmericanPatriot#ChristianNation#BibleReadingSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon reflects on a week marked by pivotal Supreme Court rulings, including a decision that utilizes an immigration database to enhance state voter rolls by removing non-citizens. Solomon questions the implications of these rulings, particularly the blocking of Missouri's Republican-friendly electoral map, and explores the broader judicial influence on current events.Shifting focus to a pressing societal issue, Solomon introduces a powerful segment on sexual assault in America, where a victim's story takes center stage. Listeners will meet Kayleigh, a remarkable woman whose traumatic experience has driven her to advocate for change through the movement known as Kayleigh's Law. Joined by Congressman Abe Hamadeh of Arizona, they discuss the law's progress and the bipartisan support it has garnered, shedding light on a crisis that affects countless lives.In the second segment, Solomon welcomes actor Kevin Sorbo, who discusses his role in the re-released director's cut of the Reagan movie, highlighting the added depth it brings to the portrayal of Ronald Reagan's spiritual journey. Sorbo shares insights on the state of Hollywood and his mission to inspire through faith-based storytelling.Finally, Jeff Smith from the Heritage Foundation joins the conversation to analyze the recent Trump-Xi Summit and what it means for U.S.-China relations. With two more significant meetings on the horizon, Smith offers his expertise on Asian security and the potential outcomes of these diplomatic engagements.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For critics of the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, much attention and ire is focused on the new justices appointed by President Donald Trump. But journalist Alex Wagner says the key president to note is Ronald Reagan, whose 1980 election marked a distinct right turn for American governance. Wagner, host of Crooked Media's “Runaway Country,” says Reagan's election marked the return to power of the conservative right after many decades on the fringes: Tax cuts, aggressive foreign policy, and law and order would soon become the cornerstones of Reagan's agenda. But, behind the scenes, a select group of administration officials and ideological allies had their eyes set on something much more valuable: an institution with the power to shape the country's legal, cultural and existential identity, long after any presidential term ended. Wagner says California's own Ed Meese, an Alameda County district attorney, lawyer and aide to Reagan from his days as governor, knew exactly what he had to do to seize the Supreme Court: get as many judges on the bench as possible, and make sure they were as conservative as he was on issues like abortion rights, taxes and criminal justice. Working in parallel to achieve the same goal were a band of fellow true believers: Paul Weyrich, a firebrand organizer; Joe Coors, the beer magnate whose fortune funded many of Weyrich's efforts; and Robert Bork, the towering legal intellect of the right and an important mentor to a few young law students starting a new organization called The Federalist Society.  By the end of the decade, these men would change the face of the American judiciary forever. Join us as Wagner draws on the work in her new book The Steal to go into the closed-door meetings, public nomination hearings, and back rooms of American political power to reveal the story behind one of the most significant moments in American history, and how it affects us to this day.

Columbus Day is a celebrated holiday for Italian Americans. But many do not know the story behind the holiday and why it was created. We cannot compare the struggle of Italian-Americans with the struggle of black Americans, but we can say that a black American today is far better off than an Italian immigrant in the late 19th century. But America is not a story of grievances, it is the story of a unique Republic, built o the idea and ideals of liberty. It is that ideal that I embrace, despite the actions of individuals and even local governments throughout our nation.The largest lynching in US history was of 11 Italian in 1891. The Tuskegee Institute reveal that about 27% of all lynchings in the US between 1882-1968 were of "white" people. Between 1890 and 1910 about 40% of all lynchings were of Italian-Americans. Italians made up about 4% of the population at that time. In many government statistical categories, Italians from southern Italy as well as Sicilians were not considered "white." They had their own category ("Italian, Southern").When Columbus Day was displaced in many places across the nation to make room for newer holidays, a part of history was lost. But I am a proud American who has embraced the idea that is America. As Ronald Reagan noted (quoting President Lincoln), America is 'the last, best hope of Earth.'If the powers within our borders that hate our Founding, our system, and our ideals succeed to destroy this nation, the world will enter a dark age it cannot imagine. There is reason the whole world is trying to come here by an means possible, and it's not because they've left homeland's Nirvana to try and make us better. Sources:Tuskegee InstituteLibrary of CongressBarbara Jackson, Jessica.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Gallup has a screaming headline that over 40% of Americans support socialism -- first time ever! This is entirely misleading. How do we know Gallup polled only Americans, meaning American citizens?  What does Gallup mean by Americans? There are an awful lot of people in our country (America) who are from the Third World or socialist regimes, some here legally and others illegally. There's no verification of party identity either. Even an alien who cannot or does not vote can identify with a party. So, were those questions asked if there were actually Americans -- that is, American citizens?  Otherwise, the impression Gallup is leaving is that more actual Americans support socialism than a true sampling would find.  And we've had a record number of migrants pour into our country under Biden and the Democrats before President Trump put an end to it. Also, the New York Times and other media outlets are acting as propaganda organizations and attempting to influence Israeli elections by reviving allegations that Benjamin Netanyahu received advance warnings about the October 7 Hamas attack. Haven't we been thru this before? The reports rely on anonymous sources, lack specific details, have been denied by the UAE and Netanyahu, and are part of a repeated effort to damage Netanyahu politically despite his leadership and recent speech at the United Nations. Later, President Trump is cancelling $810 million in federal funds for programs related to illegal immigrants, race-focused initiatives, and other grants through a pocket rescission process. Trump's actions are legal, constitutional, and fiscally conservative. Many federal programs and outside organizations receive unnecessary funding; unspent government money is often rushed out before the fiscal year ends, and Trump is uniquely willing to confront both fiscal and cultural issues that other leaders avoid. Finally, Mark Joseph calls in to discuss the re-release his movie – Reagan, which includes 10 minutes of previously cut scenes that he was able to restore. He highlighted several new moments in the movie, including stories about Ronald Reagan, and said the film took 20 years to make despite numerous obstacles, including the left's banking and social media restrictions that affected promotion efforts.

Continuing their surprising political bromance, President Donald Trump and Mayor Zohran Mamdani met at Gracie Mansion this week ahead of the president's speech at the United Nations. It was the first visit to the mayoral residence by a sitting president since Ronald Reagan met with then-Mayor Ed Koch in 1981. The U.N. gathering also brought renewed tension between Mamdani and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who harshly criticized the mayor during his address.  NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena discuss an eventful week in city politics, with the U.N. General Assembly as the backdrop. After that, the "Off Topic" team looks at a City Council hearing on the Mamdani administration's use of an encrypted app to communicate with social media influencers. They discuss questions about preserving public records and the line between government messaging and political promotion. 

We're reacting to The Fat Electrician's incredible breakdown of Operation Praying Mantis, the 1988 confrontation that turned into one of the most significant U.S. Navy surface actions since World War II.After the USS Samuel B. Roberts struck an Iranian mine in the Persian Gulf, the United States launched Operation Praying Mantis. What followed was an intense day of naval combat involving Iranian oil platforms, warships, A-6 Intruders, missile exchanges, and the USS Enterprise.Along the way, we react to the history, the unbelievable moments, the humor, and the sheer scale of what happened in just a matter of hours.Original video from The Fat Electrician:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5v6hlRyeHEWhat was the craziest part of Operation Praying Mantis to you? Was it the survival of the USS Samuel B. Roberts, the missile exchanges, the A-6 attacks, or the fact that so much happened in a single day? Let us know in the comments.

For centuries, courts have wrestled with one impossible question: does madness excuse murder?

“A good divorce is better than a bad marriage, and this is a good divorce.” — Alan Dershowitz The American lawyer Alan Dershowitz says he's been voting Democrat since John F. Kennedy. He even defended Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Alan Cranston in court. But, at 88 years old, Dershowitz has now left — or, as he puts it, been forced out of the Dems, in the same way Ronald Reagan was sixty years ago. His new book Why I Quit the Dems and So Should You is both a history of his souring relations with the Democrats and a confessional of a reluctant Republican. A good divorce, the twice-married Dershowitz promises, is better than a bad marriage. Like many angry spouses, he says he's been forced into the split. Today's Democratic Party, he claims, is closer than any political party in modern American history to what the Nazi Party was in 1932 before it came to power. He names Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani as antisemites, calls Bernie Sanders a self-hating Jew, and insists Kamala Harris passed over Josh Shapiro because Shapiro is a Jew who wouldn't renounce Zionism. What's his proof on the Harris claim? What other reason could there be? Dershowitz claims. Besides, even if Israel vanished as an issue tomorrow, he says he still couldn't go back to the failed marriage, because the Dems have abandoned what he calls “meritocracy.” At 88, Dershowitz is perhaps a little more self-reflective than he was in his legal pomp. In conclusion, I ask him to summarize himself in a word. “Proudly-Jewish,” he says, before adding “never-boring.” We can all agree on that, if perhaps little else. Five Takeaways •       A Good Divorce. Dershowitz frames his departure as liberation rather than loss: a good divorce is better than a bad marriage, and he was thrown out, he says, much as Ronald Reagan was. The loyalty he is breaking runs deep — he first voted for John F. Kennedy, defended Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Senator Alan Cranston, and campaigned for Democrats for most of his adult life. He describes himself now as a convert, and converts, he notes, are the most fervent. What he wants is not the suffering of Democrats — his wife, children and much of his family remain in the party — but their defeat: he does not want them running the House or the Senate, and names AOC and Abdul El-Sayed as people he does not want chairing committees. He first went independent, then concluded that independence wasn't enough, which is how a lifelong liberal became, in the book's subtitle, a reluctant Republican — or, as Andrew put it, an angry spouse who says he was forced into the split. President Trump, he notes, endorsed the book.•       The Charge. The hour's most incendiary material, and it should be read as his claims rather than as established fact. Dershowitz argues the Democratic Party is closer than any political party in modern American history to what the Nazi Party was in 1932 — specifically 1932, he stresses, not 1935: Jews feeling unsafe at universities, Jews losing jobs, an obsession with the nation-state of the Jewish people. He names El-Sayed and Mamdani as antisemites, says he does not believe Mamdani or his family like Jews, calls Bernie Sanders a self-hating Jew and a hypocrite, and says Elizabeth Warren doesn't like Jews. His central political claim: no Jew perceived as pro-Israel can now win a Democratic primary, and no Jew will be nominated for president — which is why, in his telling, Kamala Harris passed over Josh Shapiro, a choice he says cost her Pennsylvania and possibly the election. Andrew asked how he could know that. “What other reason could there be?” was the answer, and Andrew offered the conventional one: that Harris didn't want to be eclipsed by her running mate.•       Meritocracy. Andrew's sharpest structural question was hypothetical: if the Middle East were solved overnight and Israel vanished as an American political issue, could he return to the Democratic Party? No — because of meritocracy. The Democrats, he argues, have become the party of identity politics, of judging ideas by who said them and candidates by race or gender rather than merit; DEI, in his formulation, means exclusion rather than inclusion. The argument is partly autobiographical. His father did not finish high school, his mother managed half a semester of college, and he rose, he says, on merit alone — as did friends who were Italian, Irish and Black. He does not claim anti-meritocracy is itself antisemitism, but he does argue that Jews have been disproportionate beneficiaries of meritocracy and so suffer disproportionately from its retreat.•       Andrew's Pushback. The spine of the episode. One: has he become single-issue? His answer — that this is like asking a German in 1932 to vote on the economy — concedes the framing and defends it, arguing antisemitism is the only prejudice now moving in the wrong direction. Two: what about the antisemites of the right, Tucker Carlson and JD Vance? Republicans marginalize theirs, he says, while Democrats embrace theirs; he does not regard Vance as an antisemite, and does regard Carlson as one. Three: can a Jew criticize Israel without being an antisemite? Yes — he criticizes Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Smotrich and Likud; what he calls antisemitism is denying the state's right to exist, and his analogy is New Zealand. On the charge of genocide in Gaza he was categorical, calling those who use the word ignoramuses, liars and bigots — a characterization Andrew put to him twice. Four, and the exchange that lingers: why, in his account, is it always the Jews? “That question itself smacks of antisemitism,” he replied. “But you're the one who's said it,” Andrew answered. “I'm just asking you why.”•       Never Boring. The lawyer's creed, and the personal coda. Dershowitz defends having represented people he despises — the Nazis who marched at Skokie; Palestinian students who wanted to fly their flag in Harvard Yard, an occasion he remembers fondly because he then spoke against Arafat at their own event; Jeffrey Epstein, whom he calls a terrible human being who did terrible things, and whose case he says he has volunteered to testify about before a House panel. His models are John Adams defending the redcoats after the Boston Massacre and Lincoln defending the guilty: the Sixth Amendment doesn't come with a character test. There is family cost — Larry David cut him off over his defence of Trump at the first impeachment, though the two have since made up — and family discipline: no politics at Thanksgiving or the Jewish New Year. Asked for one word he'd want attached to his name, he offered two: proudly Jewish, and American. And his wife's line, which he clearly relishes: the tombstone will say never boring. Andrew's verdict: we can all agree on that, if little else. About the Guest Alan Dershowitz is the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus, at Harvard Law School, where he taught for fifty years. His many books include Chutzpah, Reversal of Fortune and The Case for Israel. He has represented clients from Claus von Bülow and Mike Tyson to O. J. Simpson, Julian Assange, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, whom he defended at the first impeachment trial. Why I Quit the Dems and So Should You: Confessions of a Reluctant Re...

Meghan's guest is Emma Pettit, a former Chronicle of Higher Education reporter who moved into audio this year at Longview, the new independent media outlet founded by veteran podcast creator Andy Mills. Her new three-part series, Street Fight, looks at a conflict playing out on sidewalks across the country: the rights of people living on the street versus the rights of everyone else. Emma traces the tramps and hobos who followed the Civil War and the Skid Row "bum era" that lasted into the 1970s. She explains why the problem looked so different by the 1980s, when the asylums had emptied, cheap housing had been zoned away, and crack had arrived. Meghan and Emma talk about the 1987 case of Joyce Brown, a woman who lived on a Manhattan heating grate. Mayor Ed Koch had her involuntarily committed, and the NYCLU fought him in court, arguing that she wasn't crazy, just homeless. She won her release, and Ronald Reagan later cited her case as proof of American freedom. From there the conversation moves to a topic Meghan has covered a lot lately: Los Angeles and the present day. Emma interviewed Estela Lopez, a past guest on The Unspeakeasy, about how Skid Row went from desperate to horrifying. They discuss the court rulings in Jones v. City of Los Angeles, Martin v. Boise, and Grants Pass v. Johnson that left cities unsure whether they could enforce anti-camping laws at all. They also examine what "available shelter beds" really means, how the new supply of methamphetamine and fentanyl has changed the street population, and why Meghan thinks we need to stop lumping every kind of homelessness together.   This conversation covers:   From Hobos to Encampments: The evolution of street life in America, the deinstitutionalization of public psychiatric care, and how hyper-potent modern street drugs transformed the landscape.   The Joyce Brown Precedent: How a 1980s court battle over a homeless woman sleeping on a Manhattan heating grate set the template for modern legal paralysis.   Rights, Wrongs, and Sidewalks: The fallout of court rulings like Martin v. Boise, the limitations of the "Housing First" framework, and what genuine compassion actually requires.     Want to support the show and join our off-the-record community hangouts?

All that plus Yankee Stadium nostalgia, a 99th birthday tribute to Tommy Lasorda, and a classic Ronald Reagan joke to wrap it up.

Ronald Reagan once stood beside a Canadian prime minister and said protectionism is out and trade expansion is in. Today, tariffs between Canada and the US are as high as 50 percent, and the two countries are further apart than they have been in decades.In this episode, Colin and Greg break down what a tariff actually is, who really pays for it, and why the answer is more complicated than politicians suggest. They walk through a simple product example, then scale it up to the auto industry, energy, and the broader Canada US relationship.The most interesting turn comes when they bring Reagan's own words into the conversation. His argument about trade as an alliance rather than a war stands in sharp contrast to how tariffs are being talked about today.Colin and Greg close with a practical question every investor is asking right now, and their answer might surprise you.

Why is Western democracy struggling — and is the problem bigger than Donald Trump?Rob Morris and Ruairi discuss Les Coleman's Aeon essay Why Western democracy is ailing and how to fix it, examining the legacy of Reaganism and Thatcherism, deregulation, privatisation, inequality, corporate power, rising debt and the weakening of public institutions.They also get into the 2008 financial crisis, white-collar crime, AI, GDP, campaign finance, democracy vouchers and citizens' assemblies — and ask whether Western democracies need more than a change of politicians to get back on track.Robs Links⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTokRuairis Links

This Day in Legal History: Sandra Day O'Connor ConfirmedOn September 21, 1981, the United States Senate voted 99 to 0 to confirm Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court of the United States, making her the first woman ever to sit on the nation's highest court—191 years after the Court was established. Nominated by President Ronald Reagan, who had pledged during his campaign to name a woman to the Court, O'Connor sailed through confirmation with unanimous support, the lone missing vote belonging to a senator away at a conference.O'Connor's path to that seat is a story about the barriers she broke to get there. A graduate near the top of her class at Stanford Law School, she nonetheless found that law firms in the early 1950s would not hire a woman as an attorney—one offered her a job as a legal secretary. She built her career in public service and Arizona state government and judiciary instead, and that pragmatic, real-world background shaped the justice she became: not an ideologue, but a cautious, case-by-case decider who for years held the pivotal swing vote on a closely divided Court, casting the deciding ballot on questions from affirmative action to abortion to the limits of executive power.The significance of September 21, 1981 is both symbolic and substantive. Symbolically, it shattered a two-century barrier and reshaped who Americans could imagine wielding the judicial power. Substantively, O'Connor's controlling opinions defined American law for a generation. And it's a fitting anniversary for today, because our lead story is about a workplace accused of denying opportunity on the basis of who people are—a reminder that the promise of equal treatment that O'Connor's own career embodied remains, so often, a promise the law is still fighting to keep.Tesla is heading to trial in California over allegations that it allowed rampant race discrimination against Black workers at its flagship Fremont assembly plant—one of the most significant employment-discrimination cases against a major American company to reach a courtroom in years. The suit was brought by California's Civil Rights Department, and that's the first thing worth understanding: this isn't a private plaintiff, it's a state civil-rights agency suing on behalf of workers, which brings the enforcement power of the state to bear. The trial opened Monday in Oakland before state Superior Court Judge Peter Borkon, and it's scheduled to run all the way to October 30—a long trial that signals how much evidence is in play. The allegations, filed back in 2022, are stark. The department claims Black workers at Fremont were subjected to pervasive harassment—racial slurs, racist graffiti, including in bathrooms—and that Tesla failed to prevent or stop it. It further alleges the plant was effectively racially segregated, with Black workers funneled into the lowest-paying, least desirable jobs, paid less, and passed over for promotions. Legally, these are claims under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act, the state's robust anti-discrimination statute, and they sound in two theories we should distinguish: hostile-work-environment harassment, where the question is whether the workplace was permeated with discriminatory intimidation severe enough to alter employment conditions, and disparate treatment in pay and promotion. Tesla denies wrongdoing, says it doesn't tolerate discrimination, and says it has fired workers who engaged in misconduct—which previews its likely defense: that any harassment was the work of rogue bad actors the company addressed, not a condition it allowed to fester. The significance is considerable. This is one of a whole series of discrimination cases Tesla has faced over Fremont, including a parallel federal EEOC suit, and a state agency taking one to a full jury trial—rather than settling—makes it a landmark test. Thousands of workers are implicated, the company is among the most high-profile in the world, and the outcome will say something about how seriously the law will hold a corporate giant responsible for the culture of its factory floor.Tesla faces major trial for alleged bias against Black workers, after years of lawsuits | Reuters · US News · Business StandardThree major news organizations—CNN, MS NOW, and Politico—have sued the Trump administration after being banned from the White House, in a First Amendment fight with real echoes of a case from the last Trump term. Here's what happened: the President announced he was barring the three outlets from the White House because, in his telling, he didn't like their “negative stories,” and over the weekend their reporters—including journalists from each outlet—tried to enter the grounds to cover the news and were turned away by the Secret Service, which deactivated and seized their press passes. The outlets are now in court arguing this is unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination and a violation of press freedom. The legal framework here is well-developed, and it's why the outlets have a strong hand. The controlling precedent traces to a 1977 D.C. Circuit case, Sherrill v. Knight, which held that once the White House opens press access, it can't deny a journalist a hardpass without due process and a compelling reason—the government can't hand out access based on whether it likes the coverage. That principle was reaffirmed in 2018, when a court sided with CNN after the first Trump administration pulled correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass—and, tellingly, CNN has brought back Ted Boutrous, the First Amendment lawyer who won that Acosta case, to lead this one. The core constitutional problem for the administration is that its stated reason—punishing outlets for critical coverage—is close to a textbook definition of unconstitutional viewpoint-based retaliation against the press. Now, the courts have never said White House access is unlimited or that any journalist can demand entry, so there's nuance about what process and standards apply. But retaliating against specific outlets for the content of their reporting sits at the very core of what the First Amendment forbids the government from doing. The significance is that this is a direct test of press freedom against executive power—whether a President can use physical access to the White House as a cudgel to reward friendly coverage and punish critical coverage. Given the precedent, the outlets enter court with the wind at their backs.CNN, MS NOW and Politico file lawsuit against Trump administration over White House access | Reuters · CNN · MS NOWAnd finally, a story close to my own world: American law schools are grappling with how to teach law in the age of AI—and some are responding by banning the technology from the classroom entirely. The University of Chicago Law School, notably, has barred phones, tablets, and laptops from its core first-year classrooms this academic year. The rationale is worth taking seriously, because it's not mere technophobia. The concern is that generative AI, and screens generally, undermine the Socratic method—the centuries-old back-and-forth of cold-calling and live argument that is the signature of legal education. As the chair of Chicago's AI committee put it, the whole point is to do things “the hard way—because that's how you learn.” The worry is that if a first-year law student can have ChatGPT instantly summarize a case, spot the issue, and draft the analysis, they never actually build the mental muscles—the close reading, the legal reasoning, the ability to think on their feet under pressure—that the profession requires. And here's the crucial nuance that makes this more than a simple ban: schools like Chicago aren't rejecting AI for the whole curriculum. The plan is foundational skills first, AI later—teach students to reason without the tool in year one, then teach them to use it ethically and effectively in advanced research, writing, and clinical work down the line. It mirrors a genuine debate splitting legal education, with many schools racing in the opposite direction, expanding AI instruction from day one. As someone who teaches at the intersection of law and technology, I find this the right instinct: you have to understand what the tool is doing before you can responsibly delegate to it, and every disaster we've covered on this show—the hallucinated citations, the sanctioned lawyers, the ChatGPT-fabricated testimony in that New Mexico murder appeal—is ultimately a story about someone who trusted the tool before they'd mastered the underlying judgment. The significance is that the profession's training pipeline is being redesigned in real time around a single question: how do you produce lawyers who can harness AI without being hollowed out by it?Laptop bans, new tech courses: US law schools grapple with AI | Reuters · Inside Higher Ed · Forbes This is a public episode.

Canadá se encuentra ante una situación realmente incómoda. Su mayor amenaza económica no viene de una potencia hostil como Rusia, sino del vecino con el que comparte la frontera terrestre más larga del mundo y al que vende dos de cada tres dólares que exporta. Esa dependencia, que en 2024 sostenía dos millones y medio de empleos y rondaba el 17% del PIB, dejó de ser una ventaja en cuanto Donald Trump regresó a la Casa Blanca. Lo que en campaña sonaba a fanfarronada, aquello del estado 51 y de Justin Trudeau rebajado a simple gobernador, ha acabado en la guerra comercial más dura que ha dedicado a cualquier otro aliado. Las consecuencias ya se dejan sentir. El Banco de Canadá calcula que a finales de 2026 el PIB será punto y medio inferior al que habría sido sin la ofensiva, y ha recortado el crecimiento de este año hasta un magro 0,7%. Mark Carney no ha esperado sentado. El pasado día 8 dejó entrar en vigor los aranceles de represalia tras rechazar un acuerdo que, a su juicio, movía la portería en el último minuto. Se ha propuesto también duplicar antes de 2035 las exportaciones a mercados distintos del estadounidense. Lleva, de hecho, varios meses pasando más tiempo en Europa y en Asia que en Ottawa. No sería la primera vez que Canadá lo hace. Antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial el país comerciaba más con Europa que con Estados Unidos. Formaban parte del imperio británico y eran muchos los lazos culturales y políticos que les unían con el viejo continente. La posguerra invirtió la balanza. En 1950 ya iba hacia el sur el 65% de las exportaciones, los hijos de quienes estudiaron en Oxford empezaron a hacerlo en Harvard. Pierre Trudeau intentó el desenganche en los años 70 tras un recrudecimiento arancelario del Gobierno Nixon, pero una década después alcanzaron un acuerdo de libre comercio auspiciado por Ronald Reagan que luego se extendería a México. Carney es hijo de esa misma historia. Pasó por Harvard y Oxford, presidió primero el Banco de Canadá y luego el de Inglaterra durante siete años. De aquella experiencia sacó la convicción de que las potencias medianas necesitan alternativas al dólar. Llegó al poder gracias al propio Trump, cuyas amenazas evitaron una derrota segura del partido Liberal en las elecciones del año pasado. Su primer viaje como primer ministro no fue a Washington, sino a Londres y París. El plan tomó forma la semana pasada en dos escenarios distintos. En Toronto ofreció a los grandes inversores rebajas fiscales, permisos más ágiles y algunas privatizaciones. En Estrasburgo recogió la oferta de Ursula von der Leyen para convertir a Canadá en el primer miembro asociado de la Unión Europea. Los escollos son serios. Canadá apenas supone el 1,3% de las importaciones comunitarias, diez Estados no han ratificado aún el tratado de libre comercio de 2017 y su normativa está diseñada para atender al mercado estadounidense. Tampoco entusiasma atarse a una economía que crece tan poco como la europea. Aun así, ocho de cada diez canadienses apoyan la maniobra y Carney supera el 65% de aprobación. No busca sustituir a Estados Unidos, cosa imposible, sino dejar de depender de que una sola firma en Washington hunda la economía del país.

In the late 1980's Ronald Reagan launched the Strategic Defense Initiative — SDI, commonly called Star Wars back in the day. Unfeasible at the time, 40 years of computer and materials advancements may have changed that equation.

Abdul El-Sayed went on MSNBC to face Joe Scarborough six weeks out from the Michigan Senate race. The first question was about fishing. Larry walks through the whole interview: the football questions, the Ohio State jokes, Scarborough finally raising Hasan Piker and then comparing El-Sayed's problem to Ronald Reagan's Birchers, El-Sayed refusing to say Piker's name or Chuck Schumer's, the "cost of peanut butter" pivot, and his explanation for bringing Kamala Harris to Michigan after leading the uncommitted effort against her in 2024. Plus why Mike Rogers is chasing the Haley Stevens voters El-Sayed can't reach.

How many pounds of jellybeans did the White House consume during the eight years of Ronald Reagan's presidency? And what media entrepreneur had to work as a baby photographer after his first company went bankrupt?

Actor Nick Searcy joins Tudor Dixon to discuss the special re-release of Reagan, featuring additional footage and a new director’s cut celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. Searcy, who plays James Baker in the film, reflects on Ronald Reagan’s leadership, his opposition to communism, and why he believes Reagan’s message remains relevant today. Tudor and Nick also discuss conservative voices in Hollywood, the influence of politics on American universities, capitalism versus socialism, the value of hard work and risk-taking, and the political debates shaping the country ahead of the midterm elections. Searcy shares his experience as a conservative actor in Hollywood and explains what he hopes a new generation takes away from Reagan’s story. Plus, Nick discusses Dennis Quaid’s portrayal of Ronald Reagan and what audiences can expect when Reagan returns to theaters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's win one for the Gipper with Pat O'Brien and future president Ronald Reagan in Knute Rockne, All American. The biopic starred O'Brien as the legendary Notre Dame football coach and Reagan as the player whose struggles off the field inspire his teammates. We'll hear them recreate their roles in a Lux Radio Theatre production (originally aired on CBS on December 2, 1940), as well as episodes of Suspense: Ronald Reagan in "One and One's a Lonesome" (originally aired on CBS on March 23, 1950) and Pat O'Brien in "True Report" (originally aired on CBS on August 31, 1950).

In this episode of Liberty + Leadership, Roger Ream sits down with Michael Lucchese, a 2022 TFAS alumnus and editor of the new collection "Russell Kirk on America: How to Understand the Legacy of 1776."Roger and Michael explore Russell Kirk's distinctive understanding of the American founding and his belief that the Revolution was not a radical break with the past, but an effort to preserve inherited rights, self-government and the accumulated wisdom of Western civilization. They discuss Kirk's idea of a “revolution not made but prevented,” the influence of history and tradition on the founders and the importance of liberty, order, prudence and what Kirk called the “permanent things.”The conversation also examines Kirk's writings on figures including John Adams and Ronald Reagan, his belief in the importance of literature and poetry to the conservative tradition and the intellectual community he built at his home in Mecosta, Michigan. Lucchese also reflects on the influence of Whittaker Chambers, his own experience as a TFAS Public Policy Fellow and why the ideas of Kirk and Chambers remain relevant to a new generation.The Liberty + Leadership Podcast is hosted by TFAS president Roger Ream and produced by Podville Media.

Alaska is not a remote afterthought. It is one of the United States' most strategically important resource bases for energy security, defense-critical minerals, and food supply. For two decades, its oil output declined as legacy North Slope fields matured and new projects faced long permitting timelines. That trend is now reversing. At the same time, Alaska holds known or prospective resources for 57 of the 60 minerals on the U.S. critical minerals list, and it supplies the majority of the nation's wild-caught seafood. Policy choices at the state and federal level—permitting speed, infrastructure access, tax stability, and land management—will determine how much of that potential is realized.We sit down with Bernadette Wilson, Republican Candidate for Governor of Alaska, and this is a critical race.The cover photo shows a grizzly Stu photographed on one of his trips to Alaska. Check out her website: https://bernadetteforgovernor.com/As you have heard me say, "Energy Security Starts at Home, and Energy Dominance is displayed through your Exports". Well, Bernadette gets it, and I am truly impressed. Watch for her, as she is a breath of fresh air. America and Alaska are running down the road together.1. Alaska's Economic Future & Youth RetentionBernadette's personal motivation for running stems from a conversation with her 18-year-old son about leaving Alaska for better economic opportunities. She emphasizes the need to make Alaska attractive for young people to stay, start businesses, and raise families.2. Energy Independence & Oil DevelopmentA central theme is Alaska's critical role in U.S. energy independence. The discussion covers:Domestic oil production ("American oil on Alaskan soil")Alaska's vast resources (ANWR, NPRA, North Slope, Cook Inlet)The need to reduce reliance on foreign oilExporting Alaskan oil to California and internationallyThe threat of net-zero policies driving up energy costs3. Critical Minerals & Mining ProjectsThe Ambler Road project is highlighted as crucial for accessing 2,700 mining claims. Bernadette stresses the urgency of advancing these projects within a 24-month window while the Trump administration is in power, before a potentially hostile future administration could block development.4. Streamlining Permitting & Regulatory ReformA key policy proposal is implementing a "shot clock" on permits—establishing firm timelines (60-90 days) for permit decisions to reduce uncertainty for developers and accelerate project completion.5. Alaska's Strategic Geopolitical ImportanceTopics include:Alaska's proximity to Russia and its role in international relationsThe potential for LNG ports to export liquefied natural gasAlaska's 60% share of U.S. seafood productionAlaska's coastline and strategic location for energy dominance6. Political Contrast & Campaign MessageBernadette contrasts her pro-development, pro-business approach with her Democratic opponent's focus on renewable energy, higher taxes on oil, and stricter regulations. She emphasizes that Alaska's oil industry pays 90% of the state's revenue and should be treated as business partners.7. Leadership PhilosophyDrawing on her family history (great-uncle Governor Wally Hickel) and her own business experience, she argues that effective leaders come from outside government, have signed paychecks, and understand cash flow—citing examples like Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan.This is a campaign-focused discussion emphasizing energy development, economic growth, and Alaska's role in national security and prosperity.At Energy News Beat, we Make Appendices Great Again.Check out the World's Greatest Podcast Show Notes at EnergyNewsBeat.co or EnergyNewsBeat.com, and the Energy News Beat Substack at: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

Another Epic UAP Failure. Dr. Phil breaks down why 93% of Americans have no official way to report a UFO/UAP sighting. Thousands of civilian UAP reports sit untouched while the government turns a blind eye. In today's Real Story, Dr. Phil exposes the broken UAP reporting system: no public reporting channel through AARO or PURSUE, 1,855 "Tier One" credible UFO sightings sitting in NUFORC's database, and two former U.S. presidents (Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan) who saw UFOs with nowhere to report them.Brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text ASK PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.Brought to you by SleepCreme: The foundation of health begins with sleep.

The life of Ronald Reagan proves that setbacks are just the setup for what comes next. Now, the film "Reagan" is returning for a limited run on September 25 as a Director's Cut with 10 minutes of never-before-seen footage, timed to America's 250th anniversary. Dennis Quaid stars as the 40th President in this movie that traces Reagan's path from a small Illinois town, through a Hollywood career that stalled out before it ever really took off, and finally into the White House. Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sat down with Quaid at the Reagan Ranch itself — the Western White House from 1981 to 1989 — for a conversation that goes well beyond the usual press-junket beats. In this encore episode, Quaid opens up about the nearly two years he spent preparing for the role, tracking down archival footage to nail Reagan's voice and mannerisms across four decades of his life. He talks candidly about his own four marriages and how that shaped his appreciation for the deep partnership between Ronald and Nancy Reagan, calls the film's closing scenes — built around Reagan's real 1994 Alzheimer's diagnosis letter to the American people — an act of real courage, and explains why he sees the movie less as a political statement than a story about faith, failure, and second chances. This episode first aired August 2024. Watch and get tickets at reagan.movie.

On this episode of Reaganism, Ronald Reagan Institute Director Roger Zakheim sits down with Amb. Eric Edelman to discuss the lasting legacy of Ronald Reagan's “peace through strength” strategy. They examine the weakened U.S. military and growing Soviet assertiveness that preceded Reagan's presidency, the defense buildup led by Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, and Reagan's belief that American strength enabled diplomacy, freedom, and eventual Cold War victory. Edelman also explains why Reagan's first- and second-term approaches were more continuous than often portrayed, highlighting the importance of perseverance, strategic flexibility, and sustained investment in national defense.   "Peace Through Strength: How Reagan's Military Buildup Won the Cold War" by Reagan Institute Director Roger Zakheim releases on November 17th and is available for pre-order now: https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510788480/peace-through-strength/

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, Caroline Beidler took us behind the curtain of her life to expose the real face of addiction and how to compassionately understand and walk beside a loved one in recovery. Bo Fu the President of ChinaAid, updated us on the persecution of Christians and their pastors in China. He also encouraged us to pray for imprisoned Pastor John Cao who is ill and still in prison. We also told you about the re-release of the 2024 film on the life of President Ronald Reagan and why some big tech companies are refusing to host it on their platforms. Our favorite Scottish apologist was back with some dire warning about America’s easy knee bending to Islam and what that could mean for the future of this nation and his view on the still unfolding tragedy in Nepal. Sometimes the effects of the hard knocks of life can’t be removed, no matter how much we want them to be. But what if they could be healed? Pastor Chris Cook joined us to explain how to allow the Holy Spirit to bring healing to those wounded places in our lives. As the week comes to a close, we invite you once again to another critical examination of the headlines of the week under the magnifying lens of God’s word.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ronald Reagan. Champion of neoliberalism. To some, the man who lifted the spirits of a nation and restored a sense of pride and optimism after a period of despair. To others, the Reagan years marked the death of liberalism. A dark turn toward unfettered capitalist exploitation and the decapitation of working class movements and civil rights. So, which is it? Was Ronald Reagan responsible for ushering in an era of prosperity and restoring national pride as his boosters maintain? Or was he indeed the harbinger of doom and the reason we have Donald Trump today? Like most things, it’s complicated. But there are three ways in which Reagan fundamentally altered the trajectory of the United States to the detriment of most American families. Max walks through each of them before offering a bit of context for the era and ends with an example of a modern political figure that borrows from Reagan’s political playbook but with a twist: this time it’s to do good in the world.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, what is in the president's mail-in voting executive order? It ensures voter integrity and the requirements are common sense, yet Democrats and their media lie about it as an effort to stop women and people of color from voting and call it a grave threat. The Democrats and their slip-and-fall lawyers always seem to be on the side of the cheaters but claim they are just looking out for the rest of us. This executive order is perfectly legitimate. Also, a leaked CBC memo instructed reporters ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 not to refer to the attacks as terrorist attacks, instead describing hijackings that led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and Manhattan that destroyed the World Trade Center. If 9/11 is not terrorism then terrorism does not exist. The left and Islamists in media allow this insanity to spread like poison.  Later, people aren't reading books, especially young people, so they lack independent information and don't understand the history of socialism; they aren't taught it and are instead taught that socialism is fantastic. Many do not know what happened in the Holocaust or the Civil War's massive battles to preserve the Union and end slavery, nor why the Electoral College or the Senate exist. As a result they listen to Rasputin-type figures and radical anti-American faculty with tenure become the only source they have, leaving them without enough knowledge to push back. Afterward, the Democrats did everything they could to stop Ronald Reagan from pursuing the Strategic Defense Initiative, which led to Patriot missiles, among other life-saving technologies. The media regurgitated the Democrats' talking points, and mocked Reagan and "Star Wars."  The Democrats, the media, and the Woke Reich isolations opposed significant increases in our defense budget, which has been shrinking as a percentage of GDP for some time. Meanwhile,  Barack Obama and Biden changed names on forts, ships, mountains. They changed nouns and pronouns. But Trump changes names to promote America and these same people lose what's left of their minds. Finally, Jon Husted calls in to discuss his Senate run against Sherrod Brown in Ohio. Brown tries to portray himself as a moderate but he's a liberal. Husted says the Democratic Socialists are taking over the Democratic party. They want to make us less free and take more control over your money and your future. Husted supports President Trump's polices on the border, trans athletes in women's sports and so one.

Ron responds to Monte Mader's “bodily autonomy” defense of abortion and breaks down why it's a flimsy excuse to kill a baby. Trump is still grappling with the housing affordability crisis and economic fallout he inherited from the Biden administration, much like how Ronald Reagan faced severe inflation and high mortgage rates left over from the Carter years. In the early 2020s, rapid home-price growth and soaring inflation pushed 30-year mortgage rates far higher after they had been in the mid-to-high 2% range when Biden took office, echoing the double-digit inflation and 18%+ mortgage rates of the late 1970s and early 1980s. While rates have begun easing and home-price growth has slowed significantly under Trump, resolving a crisis of this scale — just as it took years in the 1980s — requires more time than many critics allow. Also, Ron answers questions on budgeting, housing, Tucker Carlson, and parenting.
