Prior to discussing his topic of the day, Paul shares his thoughts on a recent podcast featuring Truth Tellers Tom Cock and Don McDonald, joined by Weston Wellington from Dimensional Fund Advisors. Weston weighs in on some of the most critical issues facing investors right now.Here are the topics on the podcast with Tom Cock and Don McDonald-0:53 Weston Wellington on volatility and market uncertainty2:47 Why volatility is the “price we pay to play”3:32 The media's role in investor anxiety4:57 Should investors act on daily financial advice?6:15 Portfolio changes should reflect personal changes, not headlines7:24 Spam vs. Motorola: A lesson in stock picking9:44 Dimensional's stance on individual stock ownership10:02 Diversification as “the closest thing to a free lunch”11:07 Are alternative investments the new magic bullet?12:43 Mutual funds vs. ETFs—what works best and when15:27 Industry evolution: from 8% loads to indexing dominance18:29 Where Dimensional fits in the modern fund landscape21:01 AI vs. “aggregated intelligence” in managing portfolios24:04 How regular people can find real financial advice25:34 The key to success: Temperament, not timing26:44 Weston's side gig as a roving birthday singer27:58 Why Weston hasn't been invited lately (and he's lonely)Next, Paul highlights a recent article by another Truth Teller, Ben Carlson. In “60/40 Portfolio Corrections, Bear Markets and Recoveries,” Ben breaks down the differences in returns during bear markets and the bounce-back that follows. Inspired by this, Paul explores a question that doesn't get much attention: What's the impact on a portfolio when you apply a 4% fixed withdrawal rate to the nine Sound Investing equity portfolios, each with a 60/40 equity-to-fixed income split? The results may surprise you!Paul notes there's more to come on this topic, as these findings could have a real impact on how investors choose their retirement portfolios.As promised, here are the links to the Sound Investing Portfolios:50% U.S. / 50% International70% U.S. / 30% International

When the Word of God was forgotten, one bold woman stepped up. In this episode, we dive into the story of Huldah—a prophetess who spoke truth to power and helped spark revival. Her courage challenges us to reclaim the Bible as our foundation in a world that's drifting from it.

We conclude our Stewardship Season by asking what it means to be "Truth-Tellers." How do we know that we proclaim as Christians is the truth?

For the next several episodes we will explore how to "establish a center of spiritual resistance," as Karl Barth implored the Protestant Christians in Germany to do in 1933. I believe the first step is to commit to being resolute truth tellers in a time and culture where truth is often obscured, ignored, or denied.  Why did the German Christians renegotiate their theology to accommodate the lies of the Third Reich? The answer isn't as simple as we might imagine. Join us as we explore the parallels between the mindsets of the German Christians and Christian Nationalists today. 

Keep the Truth Tellers Around You with Dr. Jennifer Prohaska This isn't your typical feel-good chat about mental health.

McCabe vs Karen Read Defense: Guess Who Still Sounds Like the Truth Teller By the third round, you could feel the shift in the room. The defense was repeating itself, circling the same topics, hoping to finally get McCabe to trip. It didn't happen. She shot down claims of coordination with the Alberts, denied any script, and stuck to the simple truth—Karen Read said she hit John. McCabe didn't get cagey. She didn't lash out. She answered. And every answer made the defense look more desperate. If this was a credibility battle, McCabe walked away wearing the crown.

In this episode of "Keeping it Israel" (First Century Foundations' Podcast) Jeff talks to Bob O'Dell, a high-tech entrepreneur and a returning guest (and friend!). Through this insightful conversation, Bob explains why Christians SHOULD be using ArtificiaI Intelligence right now as much as possible, in order to shape the future of AI. He explains that the prophet Daniel foretold the development of AI in a very specific way that is being fulfilled right now. Interestingly, this prophecy began being fulfilled rapidly since Israel conquered Jerusalem in 1967. Bob is passionate about encouraging Christians to use AI because it is shaping the future of not only Israel's physical war, but also the virtual propaganda war that is shaping world opinion right now. According to Bob, AI has powerful potential to spread Truth about the Israeli conflict, but only if it is utilized by Christians and Truth-Tellers, especially those who uphold biblical values. Bob is co-founder of Root Source and organization that exists to enable, encourage, and enrich relationships between pro-Israel Christians and Jews on a basis of mutual respect and love.Learn more about Bob O'Dell here. Purchase Bob O'Dell's Book (Five Years with Orthodox Jews) here.Learn more about Root Source here. Support the showIf you enjoy our podcast, please consider supporting the show HERE so that our Bible-based message about Israel can continue.

The podcast starts with a brief history of the growth of the Merriman Financial Literacy Foundation.  From it's small beginning in December 2012, it has produced over 1000 videos, articles and podcasts, published 6 books, spoken at many national conferences, underwritten a university class on investing for non finance majors at Western Washington University, produced portfolios for do it yourself investors, produced recommended mutual funds and ETFs to build the portfolios.  Most recently there is a new effort to give every Western student a meaningful exposure to personal finance.  This is being done under the Merriman Financial Literacy Program at Western. Two years ago we introduced the Merriman Boot Camp.  The purpose of the project is to help investors make the best financial decisions.  In the podcast Paul discusses 14 of those decisions and how we are enlarging our educational efforts.  He also notes that the Boot Camp pages will also contain a new Q&A section on each topic as well as additional information from our list of Truth Tellers.

As this podcast is being released on Thanksgiving Day Paul begins by thanking those people who choose to follow the Foundation's work, those who forward our articles, podcasts and videos to others, and those who donate time and money to the Foundation. He also addresses the challenges of living at three different homes (Bainbridge Island, Portland and Rancho Mirage) in 2024.  We know some donations have been lost in the mail.   Our concern is people will declare a charitable deduction that did not actually happen.  By the way, the permanent address of the Foundation is now - 2445 NW Westover Road #311, Portland, Oregon 97210. Paul comments on his challenges in recommending cryptocurrency. Finally he discusses the life changing impact of goal setting.   The following are articles and videos on goal setting from some of the Truth Tellers Paul recommends.

Here is a podcast that you won't want to miss.  Larry Swedroe is interviewed by another Truth Teller, Ben Felix and Cameron Passmore.  The book they discuss has been updated since the interview.  "Your Complete Guide to a Successful and Secure Retirement" is one of the best books I know for those trying to address the many important retirement goals.  While Christine Benz is the Director of Personal Finance at Morningstar I thought it might be interesting to get her take on the non-financial plans we should consider.  Her new book has  become a best seller.  How to Retire: 20 lessons for a happy, successful, and wealthy retirement.

In this episode, we sit down with Ashley Abercrombie—writer, podcaster, and author of Rise of the Truth Teller and Love is the Resistance—to discuss life after the 2024 election. Ashley's work has been featured in outlets like Darling, OprahMag.com, and Relevant, and her expertise in faith, culture, and politics makes her the perfect voice for this timely conversation. With the election results behind us but emotions still high as we approach the holidays and inauguration, Ashley offers practical wisdom on navigating strong emotions, having grace-filled conversations, and anchoring ourselves in God's truth. No matter how you voted, this discussion will encourage us to trust in God, treat each other with kindness, and move forward with hope. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stephen675/support

We took a deep dive into his decision to retire as head coach, staying on as the third assistant this season and the new responsibilities it comes with, and then pivoted to self-awareness. His insight into helping players and programs to succeed was incredible, and we dove deep into the importance of getting everyones personal narrative and the team narrative to the truth, to reality, and away from excuses.

The MAGA cult represents a profound public mental health crisis. Since 2017, Dr. Bandy Lee has raised the alarm about the pervasive influence of Donald Trump's psychopathy on his followers, coining the term "Trump contagion," and it may have affected people in your own circle. In her urgent book, The Psychology of Trump Contagion, Dr. Lee argues that the mental health implications of Trump's MAGA movement are significantly underestimated. With her extensive background in public sectors such as prisons and state hospitals, she has observed how toxic influences can spread. Rather than lifting those around them, healthy individuals risk adopting the pathologies of those with severe impairments—a dynamic she has witnessed in environments like street gangs or dysfunctional families, reminiscent of the Trump family itself. Trump's manipulative tactics leave many feeling trapped and powerless, distorting reality to maintain his grip on power. At the heart of Trump's pathology are his pronounced narcissism, violent tendencies, and deep-seated feelings of inadequacy—all exacerbated among his followers by societal stressors like the income inequality crisis. In Part 1 of our conversation, we delve into the dark psychology behind Trump and his enablers, including the lack of urgency by Nancy Pelosi during the first two impeachments, as this show warned, as well as the roles played by media executives, and corporate greed. This week's bonus show, out Saturday, for our Truth-Teller ($5/month) members and higher will address pressing questions about Jill Stein in our listener Q&A, produced by our Democracy Defender ($10/month) members. We'll also continue our discussion with Dr. Lee on how to navigate relationships with MAGA cultists, whether Trump staged his assassination attempt, and the troubling connections to pedophile rings within the corrupt family court system.

As the Illuminarmy Generals have broken their year long silence, Tom was the victim of a social media hack and Amin was taken captive on his trip to the Basketball HOF. Tom Did His Own Research on which agencies have the most salary accrued from and the largest volume of players on each team in the association. However, in order to make sense of it, we must explain the Camden Connection.

In the darkest days of World War II, Algerian-French writer Albert Camus sent a defiant message to the Nazis: our victory is inevitable. If you're feeling any election anxiety or grappling with uncertainty about the months ahead, watch this video on Camus' powerful Letter to a German Friend, from his book Resistance, Rebellion, and Death. It's a reminder that our resistance to authoritarianism has deep, resilient roots.

The Illuminarmy generals are back! Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes have returned with their third eyes wide open to update the Illumination on a foundation shaking event that transpired while they were underground. In June, Tom discovered statistical irregularities in one of the most important pillars of Michael Jordan's mythology: his 1988 Defensive Player of the Year award. After the bombshell story went viral on Yahoo Sports, detailing evidence of home cooked stats, the startling revelation was clouded amid a morass of Klutch propaganda spurred by Nick Wright. Now, the Illuminati have enlisted Truth Teller and former NSA researcher Justin Jacobs to audit Tom's findings and set the record straight.

Our hearts go out to the people impacted by Hurricane Helene and their anti-government governments, who will be replaced one day with public servants, which is what this conversation is about. To help those who are impacted, there's a resource on where to donate in the show notes. (Do not choose the Red Cross, for reasons explained in the show notes). Thank you.  Thank you to everyone who joined our live taping with Laboratories of Autocracy and Saving Democracy author David Pepper, who is not just a democracy warrior, but also the mastermind behind the new podcast series Project 2025: Up Close and Personal. Picture this: short, terrifying vignettes with a cast so star-studded, you'd think it was Hollywood's last gasp before a fascist takeover—J. Smith-Cameron, Fisher Stevens, Richard Schiff, Morgan Fairchild, Omid Abtahi, and many more! We previewed "Chapter 2" of the series–it's the audio equivalent of a cold sweat. You can listen to it [here]. Democrats have been playing defense for so long, they've forgotten what offense looks like. "There are two million uncontested races out there," David pointed out, which is about as comforting as knowing JD Vance's particular brand of weird fills the halls of power in Republican hostage states. David also shared the story of how he got a call out of the blue from Vice President Kamala Harris last spring, to discuss ways to fight back. Thanks to the audience Q&A, he shared who he thinks should be her Attorney General—should she win, of course. Want to make that dream a reality? Join the fight! Gaslit Nation hosts phonebanks with Sister District every Wednesday at 6 p.m. RSVP [here]. Join our next live taping on Tuesday October 1st at 12pm ET with Greg Palast, discussing his new film Vigilantes Inc: America's New Vote Suppression Hitmen. Bring your questions on all the ways Russian-backed MAGA is trying to steal the election, their plans if they lose, and ways to protect the vote.  Come As You Are Weekly Political Salons! Join us every Monday at 4 PM ET via Zoom!

Discounted annual memberships available!  Eric Adams, soon-to-be-former Mayor of New York City, has finally been indicted—a surprise to no one. In this special episode of Gaslit Nation, we break down the latest developments and remind our listeners: If this is what we know, imagine what we don't. Adams' corruption and assault on democracy in NYC are just the visible tip of a much larger, deeply entrenched network of local corruption that has long served as a feeding ground for foreign adversaries. America is in a war of attrition, both abroad and at home. The barbarians are at the gate, and now more than ever, it's going to take a resurgence of people-powered movements to defend our democracy and push back against these threats. In this special episode, we examine the latest attacks on American democracy and national security by Trump and his MAGA stormtroopers. At a recent rally in North Carolina, Trump once again vowed to hand Ukraine over to Putin. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson echoed this dangerous rhetoric by attempting to remove Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S., a move we warned about during our latest Gaslit Nation political salon—straight from the Paul Manafort playbook. To help illuminate this fight, we're sharing an excerpt of a new radio play series written by David Pepper, author of Saving Democracy, called Trump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal. In this powerful excerpt, we meet Eve, a nurse grappling with infertility, whose access to vital treatment is jeopardized by a new president's executive order banning certain fertility procedures. You can read Chapter Two of David Pepper's 2025: A Novel at davidpepper.substack.com/p/2025-a-novel-chapter-2. David will join us in this week's bonus show, out Saturday, to explain how to defeat Project 2025 in Republican hostage states.  Come As You Are Weekly Political Salons!

Leigh McGowan, aka Politics Girl, joins Gaslit Nation to discuss her heartfelt civics manifesto: A Return to Common Sense: How to Fix America Before We Really Blow It. With 41 days until Election Day, Leigh breaks down how we can seize this moment and make a real impact. The discussion includes “Kremlin cicada” Jill Stein, what to do if Trump tries another violent coup, how to hold a Harris/Walz administration accountable, and how to stop the MAGA machine from spreading chaos and disinformation in a white rage backlash that will make birtherism look like a warm-up act. While things might look like a political hellscape, Leigh's book is a hand to hold as we fight back against Russian-backed Trump and his legion of wannabe stormtroopers. It's not just about surviving the next 41 days — it's about gearing up for the long-haul battle for our democracy and the planet. This convo isn't just a podcast episode; it's a roadmap to reclaim the soul of America. Don't miss our next live-taping on October 1st at 12pm ET with investigative legend Greg Palast, who exposes America's vote suppression mafia.

On September 16, we gathered at the stunning Ukrainian Institute of America in New York City for a very special evening. It was a celebration of the release of In the Shadow of Stalin, the powerful graphic novel adaptation of the film Mr. Jones, directed by the brilliant Agnieszka Holland. The night was filled with creativity, conversation, and community. Andrea had the honor of being joined by journalist Terrell Starr, who shared insights and moving stories from Ukraine. His firsthand account brought into sharp focus the ongoing struggle for freedom and the resilience of the Ukrainian people. It was also an incredible opportunity to connect with so many passionate and engaged individuals who share a deep commitment to truth and justice.

This week we're joined by Stephanie Baker, an award-winning investigative reporter from Bloomberg News, who's out with a new book from the frontlines on the war on kleptocracy: Punishing Putin: Inside the Global Economic War to Bring Down Russia, the most sanctioned country in the world.  Sanctions are a double-edged sword. While they've undeniably strained the Russian economy, causing hundreds of billions in losses, they aren't a panacea. Some Western companies have found ways to stay in Russia or help it sidestep restrictions, raising serious questions about enforcement.  Stephanie sheds light on the effectiveness of these sanctions: what's working, what's falling short, and how Russia is navigating the economic minefield. We'll explore which countries are leading the charge for tougher measures, and how Russia is finding ways to benefit from—or at least mitigate—sanctions. We also discuss the role “Londongrad” being a playground of Russian oligarchs, and how recent efforts have tightened the screws on money laundering. We also look at how countries like India take advantage of sanction loopholes at Ukraine's expense and what more can be done to hold nations accountable for helping Russia's war machine. The bottomline: “Sanctions aren't working” is Kremlin disinformation. Russia is desperate to get rid of sanctions, because its longterm prospects to keep its genocidal war going, and its own country from imploding, are bleak. Tune in to get the full picture and understand how these economic tools are shaping the future of our world, including Russia and China's war on the U.S. dollar.  * Miss the live-taping in NYC?

At Tuesday night's debate, Kamala Harris showed exactly how to stand up to a bully, forcing Trump to back down from a second debate. Watch our recent video on the debate and the dread many of us were feeling, in the show notes.

Plus, we feature insights from Michael Podhorzer, hailed by TIME magazine as a key architect of the movement that safeguarded the 2020 election. (The Gaslit Nation community also helped!)

Convicted felon Donald Trump relies on a well-worn GOP playbook to scare their voters to the polls: stir up moral panic over LGBTQ people. Moms for Liberty—well-funded by shadowy right-wing interests—are out there banning books and promoting anti-trans, anti-gay laws straight from Viktor Orban's Hungary and Putin's Russia. We might inadvertently feed into their culture war hysteria if we don't step back and see how their disinformation machine works. As Erin Reed points out in her essential guide to our times “Erin in the Morning,” trans care is under attack in half of the country. Meanwhile, the far right stirs up fear, demonizing trans people, especially trans children and their families, just like Karl Rove did with gay marriage in 2004, to secure a second term for war criminal George W. Bush. But trans people have always existed. They're part of human history, brutally erased by colonial powers, according to a must-read report from ABC News in our show notes below.  So, what's the antidote to the far-right's moral panic? Call it out for what it is. Protect trans kids. Push back against oligarchs. Remember, this is about basic human rights. As highlighted in Abi Maxwell's poignant memoir One Day I'll Grow Up and Be a Beautiful Woman: A Mother's Story, love and dignity for trans children are crucial to building safer, more compassionate communities for everyone. Maxwell's story focuses on her daughter, Greta, a courageous little girl who, from a very young age, understood she was a girl, even though she was born a boy. The confusion wasn't Greta's—it was the adults around her, including teachers and parents in their small New Hampshire town, who struggled to accept her identity. Maxwell recounts their family's painful journey through relentless bullying and institutional barriers, a journey that mirrors the challenges faced by countless other trans families in America today. Maxwell's memoir isn't just a heart-wrenching tale of a mother fighting for her child; it's also a stark reminder of how disinformation and fearmongering, often driven by far-right extremists, are weaponized to divide us. As we've seen with the rise of groups like Moms for Liberty, the attacks on LGBTQ+ rights—particularly against trans children—are often orchestrated by powerful interests looking to distract and manipulate voters. In our interview with Maxwell, she sheds light on the far-right's disinformation playbook and shares insights on how we can rise above it. It's time to move beyond the hate and fear and build a society that values love, acceptance, and the dignity of all people, no matter their gender identity. Let's start by protecting some of the most vulnerable among us: our trans kids. The song you heard in this week's show is “Doors Are Opening” by The Society of Rockets.

First, Adam welcomes comedian Chad Daniels back to the show to talk about his new Netflix special Empty Nester, as they get into the passive and active trauma their parents passed onto them, how Chad has a dedicated promise to always tell the truth, how peanut butter and its counterparts have become a metaphor for life, and the new complex world of female vibrators. Then, Leah Knauer joins the show as the three discuss being able to know a person by the stickers on the back of their car and Adam's pitch for a gimp mascot for the NFL. Leah reads the news, which includes former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announcing his candidacy for California governor, a humpback whale breaching on & capsizing a fishing boat off the New Hampshire coast, the booming business of AI Boyfriends, and zoo gorillas needing a limit on their screen time. Finally, Adam and Chad Daniels finish out the show by proposing to Leah their approach to applying reasonable gum laws to this country, limiting high capacity gum packs, applying licenses for gum purchases, and making sure you keep your gum protected behind a gum safe.
