In a recent episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, Alan Kaplinsky was joined by Nick Bourke, Kate Griffin, and Ballard Spahr partner Joseph Schuster to discuss a groundbreaking new report from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program: United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams. The episode builds on Nick and Kate's prior appearance on the podcast last July, when the report was still in development. Now finalized, the report offers one of the most comprehensive frameworks to date for addressing what has become a systemic threat to American households and the broader financial system. The Scope of the Problem: A Systemic Threat Frauds and scams are no longer isolated consumer protection issues. According to the report, U.S. households are losing an estimated $196 billion annually to scams — roughly $1 billion every couple of days. One in five American adults reports having lost money to an online scam. As Nick Bourke explained, today's scams are: ·                 Technology-enabled ·                 Highly organized and industrialized ·                 Often operated by transnational criminal organizations ·                 Accelerating due to AI and faster payment systems The so-called scam "lifecycle" includes four stages: 1.     Lead – Hooking the victim 2.     Deceive – Building trust (often through impersonation or relationship-building) 3.     Bleed – Extracting funds 4.     Clean – Laundering proceeds, often through cryptocurrency or offshore channels Different sectors see only fragments of this lifecycle; social media platforms may see the "lead," financial institutions the "bleed," and law enforcement the "clean." That fragmentation allows criminals to scale operations while defenders remain siloed. Why Scams Are Rising Despite Heavy Investment As Kate Griffin noted, industry and government are investing heavily in prevention. Yet scams continue to grow. Why? ·                 Fragmentation across sectors: No single actor sees the entire attack sequence. ·                 Outdated reporting infrastructure: Federal systems at agencies like the FBI and FTC remain manual and technologically antiquated. ·                 Regulatory uncertainty: Financial institutions and technology platforms face unclear expectations about what data they can use and share. ·                 Speed of modern payments: Faster money movement means faster losses. Joseph Schuster emphasized that many financial institutions are strongly incentivized to prevent fraud as they often bear reputational and financial risk when scams succeed. But legal ambiguity, especially under statutes like the Fair Credit Reporting Act, can chill data-sharing and innovation. Core Recommendations from the Aspen Report The report outlines both high-level national reforms and granular operational improvements with more than 180 specific ideas. 1. Elevate Scam Prevention to a National Priority The report calls for: ·                 A designated federal lead (or "czar") to coordinate strategy ·                 A whole-of-government approach ·                 Clear national goals and metrics Without centralized leadership, enforcement and regulatory actions remain fragmented.  2. Modernize Law Enforcement Reporting Systems Federal reporting portals, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the FBI's complaint systems, and the FTC's databases, require modernization. The report recommends: ·                 Streamlined, automated reporting ·                 Backend data interoperability across agencies ·                 Advanced analytics and AI tools for enforcement 3. Establish Clear Duties to Act Paired with Safe Harbors One of the most important themes discussed was the need for: ·                 Clear expectations for banks, telecom companies, and digital platforms ·                 Safe harbors that protect companies when sharing scam intelligence in good faith Countries like Australia have already codified such frameworks. The U.S. has yet to establish similarly coordinated standards. 4. Build a Cross-Sector Information-Sharing Ecosystem Effective scam prevention requires: ·                 Exchange of scam indicators (malicious URLs, compromised phone numbers, device patterns) ·                 Interoperable information-sharing platforms ·                 Privacy-preserving architecture ·                 Legal clarity to mitigate antitrust and consumer reporting concerns Joseph noted that industry appetite for collaboration is strong but clarity and guardrails are essential. 5. Consider a U.S. National Anti-Scam Center The report explores the idea of a centralized "front door", potentially something like stopscams.gov, that would: ·                 Serve as a national reporting hub ·                 Provide victim resources ·                 Facilitate coordination among law enforcement ·                 Support public education campaigns Social Media and Platform Responsibility The discussion also addressed the evolving role of digital platforms. Scam activity frequently originates through: ·                 Paid advertisements ·                 Dating applications ·                 Direct messaging ·                 Fake investment websites Compared to banks, social media companies operate within a less clearly defined regulatory structure. Courts are increasingly developing theories of "platform liability," but statutory clarity is lacking. The report urges policymakers to define reasonable expectations for platforms — paired with safe harbors and practical tools that empower prevention rather than merely assign blame. What Happens Next? The key question: who implements this strategy? Kate Griffin emphasized that this is a whole-of-society problem requiring coordinated action by: ·                 Federal leadership ·                 Congress ·                 Financial institutions ·                 Telecom and digital platforms ·                 Law enforcement ·                 Civil society There have been encouraging developments, including: ·                 Treasury and State Department sanctions targeting transnational scam networks ·                 A joint DOJ–FBI–Secret Service initiative targeting Southeast Asian scam operations o   But much more remains to be done. Nick Bourke suggested that, one year from now, real success would include: ·                 A designated federal anti-scam lead ·                 A congressional commission ·                 Measurable national prevention goals ·                 Corporate adoption of formalized anti-scam strategies Joseph Schuster added that industry innovation is ongoing, particularly in artificial intelligence, biometrics, and authentication, but warned that fragmented state-level regulation could complicate progress. Key Takeaways Alan Kaplinsky closed the episode with several important observations: ·                 Fraud and scams are now a systemic threat, not a niche compliance issue. ·                 Prevention, not just reimbursement, must be the organizing principle. ·                 Coordination matters as much as authority. ·                 Good-faith companies need regulatory clarity, not just enforcement pressure. ·                 Reducing scams strengthens trust in the U.S. financial system and digital economy. The Aspen report reframes the debate. Rather than assigning blame, it calls for aligned incentives, shared responsibility, and coordinated national action. If the title of the report, United We Stand, becomes reality, the United States may finally begin to bend the curve on one of the most costly and fast-growing threats facing consumers today.

The passage we'll be studying today, Eph 4:1-6. This passage marks a transition in Paul's letter from doctrine to practical application, urging believers to “walk in a manner worthy” of their calling by maintaining unity. Paul calls for humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another and love to preserve the unity of the Spirit. And this unity is grounded in seven “ones” which we'll talk about and more. Thanks for listening. God bless you! And a happy and blessed Christmas to you and yours! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Send us a textQuestions from a listener:- A common argument I'm seeing in the online debate over ICE and its handling of immigrants is “What would Jesus do?” We are taught at a young age to ask this question but does it apply in scenarios that are not explicitly addressed in the Bible? Is it right for us to assume what Jesus would do considering how frequently he surprised his own disciples? Especially for the sake of an argument. - It seems like the Bible is being injected into more and more political debates, which on the surface seems like a positive to me because of the exposure of the topics to broad audiences. However, it appears that non Christians and anti Christians are selecting scripture without any context and possibly without any true understanding of the verses to support their political beliefs. I feel like this underscores the importance of building your bible knowledge and equipping each other to engage in apologetics. Not necessarily to change the minds of those you are debating, but to effectively capture the mass audience of non believers or new believers that are on the side lines of social media and scrolling by. Should we, or should we not, as Christians, engage in online debates? - Self proclaimed Christians are sowing division amongst themselves currently because of disagreements over topics such as handling of illegal immigrants, feeding/caring for the poor through government programs versus individual generosity, and challenging state and federal authority you disagree with. These are hot topics, not just because the news says so, but because it gives the devil a foothold in the spiritual war. Should we agree to disagree and move on, fight to the death, or meet somewhere in between? These are great questions!  Let us know what you think about our discussion on these topics.www.LeagueOfLogic.com

The room was crowded, the mics weren't perfect, and the mission couldn't be clearer: get Australia's hunting voices into one place and push back on rushed, headline‑driven laws with unity, evidence, and heart. Cody's seed turned into a national roundtable featuring hosts from Wild Origins, Get Outdoors With Drew and Cam, Women Who Hunt, Hunting Connection, In The Dark and Bullet Points, Australian Hunting Backcountry, Nature's Perks, Hunting Republic, and the Australian Hunting Podcast. What followed was a frank, sometimes raw, always focused conversation about protecting a lawful lifestyle that feeds families, fuels regional economies, and keeps ferals in check. We unpack what “four guns” really means for humane shots, competition disciplines, family setups, and the ethics that guide calibre choice. We challenge the proposal to strip appeal rights, knowing due process isn't a luxury in a democracy. We talk national registry pros and cons without ignoring data‑leak scars, and we explain why registering barrels and stocks would swamp understaffed branches for no safety gain. The group calls out media myths and belt‑fed fantasies, then gets practical: short, respectful emails to MPs; signing both NSW petitions; and supporting each other without ego or infighting. Industry voices outline the real cost to retailers, importers, guides, and country towns, while long‑timers share lessons from 1996 and why the public mood feels different today. This is not a culture war monologue; it's a plan built on unity and calm persistence. We ask listeners to act locally, communicate clearly, and check on their mates. If you care about hunting, target shooting, conservation, or simply fair process, this conversation gives you the words and the steps to make a difference right now. If this resonated, share it with a mate, sign the petitions, and send your email today. Subscribe for follow‑ups and wins, and leave a review so more Aussies can find this conversation.

In this episode of What's at Stake, Penta partner Bryan DeAngelis and managing director Stephanie Walstrom dive into one of the fastest-growing threats to U.S. economic and national security: fraud and scams. They're joined by Kate Griffin and Erin Borġ of the Aspen Institute's Financial Security Program, co-authors of United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams and leaders of the National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention. Kate and Erin unpack Aspen's development of a coordinated, whole-of-ecosystem approach to combating scams, bringing together government agencies, law enforcement, industry, and civil society actors. They walk through the report's major recommendations, from building stronger interagency mechanisms to modernizing data sharing and strengthening private-sector accountability. Together, they explore why scams must now be understood as a national security issue, how early federal responses (like DOJ's new Strike Force on Cryptocurrency Scams) signal growing momentum, and what meaningful progress looks like in both the near and long term. They also discuss how a more integrated national strategy could ultimately reshape the everyday experience of consumers navigating an increasingly complex digital and financial landscape.

The podcast excerpt features a preacher delivering a sermon titled "Church on Fire," which emphasizes the belief that a "redhot Firebaptized Church" is essential for addressing societal problems and ensuring the nation's spiritual and temporal success. The speaker addresses criticism for wearing an American flag while preaching, explaining it as a prophetic symbol that the nation's future will be carried by faithful people, not wicked politicians. He contends that America's blessing stems from its founders dedicating the nation to God and argues that the church must embody fire and boldness to combat what he views as anti-Christian agendas and political deception. Furthermore, the speaker condemns "watered down" Christianity that focuses on feelings and worldly acceptance rather than the empowering "fire of the Holy Ghost," warning against dependence on government assistance and urging followers to prioritize the unadulterated gospel.

In today's episode I share some of my recent Wonders and Ponders regarding what it really means to be United, and how we came up with that name for our country. I also explore the original meanings of democracy, republic, and the motto "United We Stand, Divided We Fall." Join me as I wonder how our country has gotten where we are and whether this is what our founders intended for us. I mention the Enlightened Leadership Lab which meets virtually on Mondays from 4-5 central (more info at www.emergentculturelabs/leadershiplab and also our Conscious Business meeting November 4 in Fargo: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/conscious-businesses-of-fargo-meetup-tickets-1873031430429?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

the speaker addresses a congregation and a wider audience as part of a series called "United We Stand." The preacher blends religious instruction with political commentary, emphasizing the need for Christian unity and righteousness to exalt the nation, citing biblical passages from Proverbs, Psalms, and Matthew. The sermon calls the church to action as the "Joshua of our generation," urging them to obey God's commands to receive His promises and defeat spiritual and societal giants, including the "demonizing of the biblical family" and the "feminizing of the church." Ultimately, the speaker prophesies a revival for America carried on the backs of anointed believers, declaring that the nation will not be divided or controlled by wicked forces.

The news keeps getting worse: over 250 million acres of our public lands potentially up for sale and 3 million or more likely carved out.  While this has been a goal, and a dream, of many radical politicians for the past fifty years, until now it has only been whispered, dog-whistled, lied about, and obscured. Now, their plan is out in the open. The line is drawn in the sand. The gauntlet has been thrown down. The land grabbers have made their play. How will we respond?
