https://hub.controlandcompound.com/business-masterclass-webinar-replay Did you know the first $1,400 many Canadians pay in federal taxes goes toward servicing government debt? Most Canadians hear terms like deficit, debt, and government spending every day, but few understand how those decisions impact mortgages, retirement planning, business owners, and future tax rates. In this episode of Control and Compound, Darren sits down with Devin Drover of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to discuss where taxpayer dollars are going, why government deficits matter, the capital gains tax controversy, housing affordability, and what Canada's growing debt could mean for future generations. Whether you're a business owner, investor, professional, or simply trying to understand Canada's financial future, this conversation breaks down complex issues in a practical and easy-to-understand way. Topics include: • Government deficits and debt • Capital gains taxes • Taxpayer rights • Housing affordability • Small business competitiveness • Government spending and accountability • Canada's economic future

The United States has poured billions into the United Nations to fund relief works, but not all that money goes where you might think. Years of impunity have allowed murder, rape, kidnapping and fraud to flourish in the UN system, yet the UN Secretary General and his team have stonewalled investigations, invoked "privileges and immunities" to shield employees, and protected the worst of the worst. And then there's UNRWA, where investigations report as many as 1,500 employees are members of Hamas, some of whom participated directly in the October 7th attacks on Israel. The USAID Inspector General, operating independently from the State Department, is digging into the corruption and fraud buried inside the UN system and within its ranks. In a break from our usual call for Congress to do its job, we're giving credit where it's due: Members are shining a light on this issue but while Congress requires vetting when writing checks to these agencies, legal requirements are regularly ignored by both Republicans and Democrats in the Executive Branch. The UN's broad "privileges and immunities" have become a cover for taxpayer funded grift and a shield for inexcusable crimes. What can be done to support these investigations? And why continue funding UN agencies with a proven record of violating American law and American national security? Adam Kaplan is the acting Associate Deputy Inspector General at the U.S. Agency for International Development. He works with senior administration officials and Congress to ensure effective oversight of U.S.-funded foreign assistance, with a focus on preventing fraud, corruption, and diversion of humanitarian aid by terrorist organizations. Specializing in oversight of billions of dollars in foreign assistance to Gaza and Ukraine, Adam works with U.S., bilateral, and multilateral agencies to ensure that OIG's criminal investigators have access to information necessary to conduct their criminal, civil, and administrative investigative work. Prior to this role, Adam served as OIG's deputy general counsel, supporting criminal investigators and the Department of Justice on criminal investigations, False Claims Act cases, and suspension/debarment actions.

Tara and Lee break down the accusations against Senate leadership, Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal fallout, and why critics say Washington is protecting the very regime America fought for decades. Today's show dives into explosive allegations surrounding U.S. taxpayer funding flowing into Taliban-controlled Afghanistan while horrifying reports emerge of families allegedly selling young daughters amid economic collapse. Tara and Lee discuss: Claims the U.S. is still funneling money into Taliban-controlled Afghanistan politics, conservative talk, Afghanistan, Taliban, Senate, taxpayer money, Trump, Biden, foreign policy, government spending, breaking news, political commentary, Republican politics, America First The humanitarian crisis unfolding under Taliban rule Accusations against Senate leadership for blocking legislation aimed at cutting funding The lasting consequences of the Biden Afghanistan withdrawal Debate over whether Washington is enabling America's former enemies Questions surrounding foreign aid oversight and accountability The show also takes aim at establishment Republicans, Senate leadership battles, stalled legislation, and frustrations inside the conservative movement over spending priorities and Trump-era reforms. A fiery and emotional episode covering foreign policy, government spending, and political accountability.
For nearly a decade, the government spent close to $300 million on a national prescribing software system that was meant to modernize healthcare delivery, yet reportedly fewer than 5% of prescriptions were ever processed through it. What was billed as “innovation” has instead raised serious questions about basic accountability and value for money. How can […]
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) is under fire after suggesting that taxpayers should fund dental care for meth users so they can “succeed” and get jobs. During a candidate forum on homelessness, Bass said: “How many people that you meet that are unhoused don't have teeth at all? Because meth rots your teeth. You can't succeed without teeth.” She called for “comprehensive health care” — meaning your tax dollars fixing the damage from drug abuse. This comes as Los Angeles continues to struggle with one of the worst homelessness crises in America, with over 43,000 people on the streets, rampant open drug use, and failing public safety under Bass' leadership.

After 20+ years in financial services starting as a large-cap stock picker, moving into wealth management at Wilmington Trust, and ultimately running money for hundred-millionaires and billionaires—Rohit fell in love with whole life insurance. Now he's built a firm dedicated to helping small business owners buy whole life with pre-tax dollars through cash balance plans.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment 01:50 – Rohit's background: from $2B mutual fund to multi-family office CIO 04:30 – How the wealthiest clients actually think (structure over IRR) 06:00 – Why affluent families pushed Rohit toward whole life 08:35 – The five pillars of wealth (and why investments rank third) 09:05 – Overcoming bias: how a Wall Street guy learned to love whole life 13:30 – Banking function: sourcing capital and the limits of margin loans 17:50 – Asset vs. liability: how to think about policy loan repayment 22:35 – Introducing cash balance plans: the 96% cousin of the 401(k) 25:25 – The four major differences between 401(k)s and cash balance plans 26:25 – Contribution limits: putting away up to $400K per year 28:45 – The three-to-five year commitment requirement 33:15 – Who's the ideal candidate (quarterly estimated tax payers) 38:00 – Why you can't use a PUA rider in a cash balance plan 42:25 – The "synthetic PUA": getting Uncle Sam to fund your policy 51:25 – The optionality argument: why this beats chasing rate of return 55:15 – Enhanced ERISA creditor protection inside the plan 58:55 – Building self-escrow systems for retirement 01:03:55 – Wholesale vs. retail pricing on whole life premium 01:06:25 – The distribution mechanics: pulling life insurance out of the plan 01:21:35 – Converting term insurance into a cash balance plan policy 01:24:35 – Asset allocation rules: the 40% life insurance cap 01:31:30 – The 5% corridor: why the IRS caps your returns 01:33:30 – The 50% excise tax on overfunded plans 01:39:55 – Whole life as the "high ground" in your portfolio 01:43:15 – Statement wealth vs. contractual wealth 01:53:55 – Pairing annuities with whole life inside the plan 02:00:00 – Rohit's personal retirement plan 02:06:35 – Designing your 401(k) as your pension (not "on steroids") 02:11:00 – Closing segment Key Takeaways:The wealthy don't worship at the altar of IRR. After running money for hundred-millionaires and billionaires, Rohit learned that affluent clients optimize for structure, behavior, and optionality before they optimize for return. TThe "synthetic PUA" reframes everything for IBC practitioners. You can't use a PUA rider inside a cash balance plan, which might make IBC enthusiasts dismiss it immediately. But think of the tax deduction itself as a synthetic PUA. .Wholesale pricing changes the math entirely. To pay $100,000 of premium with after-tax dollars, you have to earn roughly $140,000 to $150,000 depending on your state. The distribution arbitrage is the cherry on top. When you pull a $1 million policy out of the plan, you owe taxes just like an IRA distribution. But unlike an IRA, the custodian cannot withhold from the policy itself.

Your taxes are being used to fuel fraud and absurd things across the country, including California giving free sex-change procedures to homeless illegal aliens. Democrats admit that they knew about Eric Swalwell's alleged sexual misconduct for years, yet they did nothing about it. The radical indoctrination of our youth continues, as a school in Maine reportedly held a dance show featuring a gay activist. Ryan Walters, the CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, joins the show to discuss. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 Sponsors: ► PreBorn Donate securely at https://www.preborn.com/sara or dial #250, keyword BABY. ► Leading the Way Get your copy of "An Unholy Alliance" by Dr. Michael Youssef today at Amazon or wherever books are sold. ► BlazeTV Head over to https://www.blazetv.com/sara and subscribe today.

Gavin Newsom's office confirmed California is giving free taxpayer-funded breast implants and sex change surgeries to homeless illegal aliens through Medi-Cal — and doubled down, claiming migrants will "die in the streets" without them. Christopher Rufo and the Manhattan Institute exposed it, Jesse Watters broke it wide open, and now California Democrats want to jail the citizen journalists who uncovered the fraud. Nick Shirley faces a $10,000 fine or a year in prison for investigating fake daycares.

On Tax Day, trillions flow into the United States government. But new analysis shows a significant share is directed toward war, defense contractors, and border enforcement, while healthcare and food assistance face mounting pressures and cuts. As deficits grow and everyday costs rise, what do these budget choices reveal about who the system is built to serve, both in the US and beyond?

It's almost Tax Day. And while some of us may have waited till the last minute to do our taxes, the federal government sure won't be wasting any time spending them. This morning, we're unpacking how much of your tax bill goes toward services like defense, Social Security, health care, food assistance, the national debt, and more. Plus, there's been no net job creation over the last six months, which can make the economy more vulnerable.

Gavin Newsom recently announced a $19 million ad campaign to combat what he calls “misinformation” about California. But what's the real purpose? Boosting his image ahead of a presidential run. Jennifer Horn joins the show to explain why this stunt — along with California taxpayers funding Kamala Harris's security detail — may amount to an illegal use of public funds. She also breaks down where the city of Los Angeles stands in its preparations for the 2028 Olympics, including serious staffing concerns within the LAPD and Mayor Karen Bass's plan to make the event “car-free.” Then, education advocate and host of the A Time to Stand podcast, Kelly Schenkoske, joins us to expose the rise of “community schools,” a public education model booming in popularity across the country — especially in Newsom's California. While the concept may sound appealing on the surface, Kelly explains why community schools threaten parental rights and serve as vehicles for woke indoctrination.

California's unfunded mandates “are exactly what they sound like:” a mandate “with no money behind it.” A solution like deannexation, however, could really “change the culture of what Sacramento” has been been doing of forcing cities to follow mandates and pay for them, explains Elaine Culotti, The Daily Signal's California contributor. “It starts to direct tax dollars directly back to the cities in which have been deannexed. It's an interesting business model, and for a state like California, is really important.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
King County Parks just admitted they can't track where $100 million in taxpayer grants actually went. The funding exploded from $3 million to $20 million—seven times larger—but somehow nobody thought to update their oversight systems. Sound familiar? This is the same playbook we saw with California's $24 billion homeless spending black hole and the Minnesota Somali daycare fraud scandal. When auditors say they can't verify if grants are being used properly, that's government-speak for "we have no idea, but we're hoping for the best." Meanwhile, Seattle's new mayor won't even investigate fraud allegations. Nothing to see here, folks! Is this incompetence or intentional? How many more audits revealing "gaps in oversight" do we need before someone demands real accountability? When the people managing your tax dollars can't tell you where millions went, maybe it's time to stop giving them more. Like and subscribe if you're tired of watching your hard-earned money vanish into bureaucratic black holes while they shrug and say "oops, our bad."

Deloitte and other major consulting firms have been tied to tens of billions in wasted taxpayer dollars—failed systems, massive overruns, fraud vulnerabilities, and canceled projects.It's the revolving door in action: government insiders cashing in on access, not competence. Add private equity loading good businesses with debt they don't understand, and value gets destroyed in the name of “efficiency.”They cut what's easy to measure and ignore what actually matters. The result? Less value, more waste—and taxpayers stuck with the bill.

I mean really, have you crunched the numbers to see how much money is actually going to the state and federal government?

CBS reports “industrial-scale fraud” in Minnesota after a viral video by X journalist Nick Shirley exposed billions of dollars in losses allegedly tied to fake daycare centers primarily run by Somali immigrants. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (who ran as Kamala Harris' VP) claims his admin has spent years strengthening oversight, but called Pres. Trump's criticism “vile, racist lies and slander.” Federal authorities have charged more than 90 people in the scheme. But if it's happening in Minnesota, could this same fraud be happening across the country? Jeremy Hambly is best known as The Quartering, a political and pop culture commentator.

And like most things involving the president, the moves aren't without their critics — including some you might not normally expect pushback from. Trump's rapid response team highlighted the two vetoes: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2006153283996381333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2006153283996381333%7Ctwgr%5E79e6ef2350ae826bc802e9e5d82d5c97bad630de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-issues-first-vetoes-second-term%2F The “Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act” is a bill aimed at expanding the land set aside for the Miccosukee Tribe inside Everglades National Park by officially including a section known as Osceola Camp. Trump had a couple of issues with this. The residential community in that area “was constructed in 1935, without authorization, in a low area that was raised with fill material,” Trump's explanation read. “None of the current structures in the Osceola Camp are over 50 years old, nor do they meet the other criteria to be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places,” Trump wrote to the House. He added that, “the Miccosukee Tribe has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.” That appears to be a direct reference to the tribe's publicized opposition — including a lawsuit against the Trump administration — to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida, as noted by The Associated Press. The “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act,” meanwhile, is a bill designed to make it easier for rural Colorado communities to complete a long‑planned water pipeline project that will facilitate drinking water to people in the Arkansas River Valley. Trump appeared to take specific issue with the price tag and repayment plans for this project. “It was originally authorized … in a bill signed by President Kennedy in 1962,” Trump said. “For decades it was unbuilt, largely because the AVC was economically unviable.” “More than $249 million has already been spent on the AVC, and total costs are estimated to be $1.3 billion,” Trump wrote. “H.R. 131 would continue the failed policies of the past by forcing Federal taxpayers to bear even more of the massive costs of a local water project — a local water project that, as initially conceived, was supposed to be paid for by the localities using it. “Enough is enough. My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.” The bill was backed and pushed by Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert — normally a staunch supporter of Trump's — who seemed incensed with the president's veto and vowed that “this isn't over.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EagleEdMartin/status/2006700820432130068?s=20 to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???

Should SNAP benefits cover soda and candy? Six states get federal approval to exclude them, and Sarah and Beth debate whether this is smart public health policy or government overreach—wrestling with the tension between the "nutrition" and "assistance" parts of the program's mission. Should tax dollars subsidize products that make people less healthy? Sarah and Beth explore the "common sense politics" of restricting junk food purchases, Sarah's personal experience using SNAP cards during COVID, and whether the Biden administration should have approved state waivers as experiments instead of blocking them. Is the soda industry the real villain? Sarah calls soda "poison" and predicts it will be viewed like cigarettes in decades to come, while Beth argues the government should regulate the industry upstream rather than police individual purchases downstream. Plus: Bedtime routines, sleep struggles, and why Beth can sleep through anything while Sarah wakes up at the slightest sound. Ready to go deeper?
