On Monday, the Senate Finance Committee released their revisions to the "Big Beautiful Bill," pushing for deeper tax cuts and lowering the State and Local Tax (SALT) cap back to $10,000. These changes have sparked some friction between Senate and House Republicans, as President Trump warned that failure to pass his bill could lead to "the highest tax increase in history instead of the greatest tax cut in history." Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins the Rundown to defend raising the SALT cap to $40,000, and he explains the stakes for the U.S. in the Israel-Iran conflict. Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team members come from diverse backgrounds. Some start their careers in the military, while others are civilians who often find themselves in high-stakes situations. Tommy Wehrle, a SWAT officer, sniper, and former Baltimore County police officer, joins the Rundown to discuss his career and how he joined the SWAT ranks as an elite sniper.

In this episode, consultant Jennifer Shuch of Leland Consulting Group shares insights into the challenges facing housing production, including economic hurdles, zoning restrictions, and the critical need for more flexible urban planning strategies. She discusses emerging solutions like public-private partnerships and state-level initiatives aimed at increasing affordable housing supply. Tune in to hear an expert's perspective on the complex landscape of urban housing development and the creative approaches cities are taking to address the housing crisis.

What if the real solution to homelessness isn't more shelters—but a complete rethink of how we treat the crisis? Joining Gregg to talk about it is Ron Book—Lawyer, Lobbyist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee & Chairman of the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust. This incredible organization has created what is considered the “National Best Practice Model” for ending homelessness. In this episode of Cut to the Chase, Ron gives us some “compassionate tough love” as he reveals how Miami-Dade went from over 8,000 people living on the streets to less than 900. He breaks down Miami-Dade's approach which includes focusing on long-term housing solutions, running the Trust like a business, and never being afraid to own mistakes, iterate, and try new approaches. Tune in to learn the realities of affordable housing in America, myths around encampments and panhandling, and the key behind Miami's success in reducing houselessness. What you'll learn in this episode: Inside Miami's homelessness model: A business-like approach with zero debt, full audits, and reinvested rent The housing-first reality behind homelessness—and why Miami turns hotels and federal land into homes, not shelters Why street encampments and panhandling aren't compassion—they're barriers to real recovery and lasting change “The Lazarus Project”: The organization that sends medical teams to the streets to connect the chronically homeless with long-term care Why tiny homes aren't a gimmick—when done right, they're a scalable, dignified solution with real impact The secret to Miami's success: $47 million in dedicated annual funding, strong leadership, and a disciplined plan Key Takeaways: End Homelessness, Don't Maintain It: Real change means moving people off the streets—not enabling sidewalk survival with panhandling and handouts. Treat Homelessness Like a Business: Track outcomes, audit every dollar, and require buy-in from residents—accountability drives lasting solutions. Repurpose What Exists: Transform hotels, federal land, and underused spaces into scalable housing—from tiny homes to transitional facilities. Fund Solutions, Not Symptoms: A dedicated food and beverage tax powers Miami-Dade's long-term success—proving the value of steady funding. Build with a Plan, Not Politics: Success comes from a clear strategy, strong leadership, and community buy-in—not short-term fixes.   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to The Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Learn more about Ronald L.

Fifteen colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, including HACC, are receiving special designation thanks to a recently created initiative to improve student mental health. A new report calls Pennsylvania's teacher shortage a crisis. About 45 counties are experiencing teacher shortages defined as severe or extremely severe, according to the report, by the group Teach Plus Pennsylvania. A pair of Native American tribes have filed a federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania, accusing the federal government of using trust fund money for the tribes to pay for boarding schools where generations of Native children were systematically abused.

If you want to see the impact that bold, brave, progressive urban planning can have on a city, go visit Odense, Denmark's third largest city. Odense has gone from being a city divided into halves by a four-lane main road, to one built on a human scale which is ready for the challenges of the 21st century. But how have they banished cars, how did the locals react, and what role has culture played in the transformation of Hans Christian Andersen's birthplace?  These are some of the questions host Michael Booth asks in this episode, as he visits the city with Marianne Tonim Nielsen, an architect who has worked in the municipality there for 29 years and has closely followed the development of Odense. Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center. Sound edits by Munck Studios.

Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H.W. Bush, recently commented on how the US Government is responsible for $21-Trillion in “unauthorized spending” between 1998 and 2015 alone. This was documented by Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University in 2017. Catherine believes much of it went into “underground base and city infrastructure and transportation systems” that have already been built. A Washington Post article in 2010 documented the Hidden World of a massively complex national security and intelligence network infrastructure built across the country in the wake of 911. But that's only part of it, and only encompasses the decade between 2001 and 2010 - not to mention the $2.3-Trillion announced missing one day before 911 and the justification to build this infrastructure. It doesn't include the half a century of public and private construction projects for military command centers like NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain or VIP bunkers under Greenbrier Resort. Some of this is for military control, others for continuity of government, and still others for laboratories perhaps akin to the Hive, or simply for nuclear material storage. In fact NASA just found a decommissioned facility in Greenland that was home to Camp Century and Project Iceworm. All of this spending coupled with authorized military spending adds up to over half of the country's national debt. Many of these bunkers, command centers, facilities, etc., have price tags that in order to add up to the unauthorized trillions must be beyond vast, they must be numerous beyond what we can conceive. And these facilities are worldwide, likely under the ocean as much as they are buried into mountains. The wealthy are also building their own bunkers toady, some of which are luxury facilities. Then there are facilities built right under our feet and meant for flood preparations, like the G-Cans in Tokyo. There are also reports of odd booms and explosions hear around the world for several decades. Some is probably atmospheric, part is geological, and others are possible a result of these projects. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development office in Kansas City is dealing with federal government cuts. How will vital community resources be impacted?

A former government official who served under George H.W. Bush's administration said during a recent interview on the Tucker Carlson podcast that the U.S. government has secretly diverted $21 trillion toward a project to build underground cities, along with transportation systems that connect them. The underground facilities, according to Catherine Austin Fitts, who served as the assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the administration of the senior George Bush, were built as a place for the rich and powerful to hide out during a major catastrophe. If what Fitts says is true, that might explain the numerous reports over the years of mystery booms, loud sounds heard at various locations across the country that nobody has ever been able to explain.Links/Sources:US has a $21 trillion underground network for only the wealthy to hide out in a ‘near-extinction event,' official says | The IndependentMystery booms rock south-central Oklahoma, locals shaken and puzzledMystery BOOMS across US sparks secret underground WW3 preparation fears - Daily StarSupport Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_Reality⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my YouTube channel:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quirk Zone - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Extraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

Successful solutions require a holistic approach considering local conditions, transportation, and community needs.Links relevant to the conversationKevin's Wikipedia entry:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_KennonEconomics Explored episode w/ Natalie Rayment, YIMBY QLD on the Missing Middle in housing:https://economics-explained.simplecast.com/episodes/missing-middle-housing-other-urban-planning-issuesLumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED Full transcripts are available a few days after the episode is first published at www.economicsexplored.com.

President Trump was in Michigan to celebrate his first 100 days in office, speaking to a fired up crowd about how finally we have a president that is a champion for workers, defending our borders and choosing Detroit over Beijing.

The Media Research Center revealed that 92% of the media's coverage of President Trump is negative. Amazon got a taste of FAFO, just as the released they intended to add a tariff upcharge on their website, their stock plummeted.

Many of us know Goodwill Industries International as a retailer that accepts and resells donated goods. What the average consumer may not know is that the nonprofit takes in over 5 billion pounds of goods each year — and not all of it can be resold. For those unwanted or unviable items, the organization can either look into recycling or upcycling, and with the help of AI, it's able to efficiently make that determination while also improving its process for sorting and allocating sellable goods for different retail channels. Additionally, Goodwill helps its workforce with career-development skills. Much of this training has been enhanced with AI. Tune in to this episode to hear directly from Goodwill CEO Steve Preston about how the organization is using technology to fulfill a mission that extends beyond the retail store. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: As president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International, Steven C. Preston leads a network of 153 local Goodwill organizations with a combined revenue of $8.2 billion. In addition to being a secondhand retail leader, Goodwill is a leading nonprofit provider of workforce training and development in North America. Positioning the organization at the forefront of workforce development has been a top focus for Preston since he joined Goodwill in 2019. He has also forged partnerships with organizations focused on sustainable practices in the secondhand retail marketplace and developed mission-focused marketing efforts to elevate the Goodwill brand. Previously, Preston served in numerous operational and financial leadership positions in both the public and private sectors. After heading the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Small Business Administration, he led successful turnarounds as the CEO of Oakleaf Global Holdings and Livingston International. He also served as the CFO of Waste Management and ServiceMaster.

Like other federal agencies, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is facing possible cuts to staffing and funding. The federal agency’s green and resilient retrofit program is intended to upgrade aging affordable housing. The program would also help fund proposals that reduced energy use.   But as the Associated Press reported, funding is being terminated by the Department of Government Efficiency and links to the program on the housing department’s site are no longer available.  Nonprofit leaders in the affordable housing industry say they’re still waiting for federal dollars that were promised. Managers of Smith Tower, an apartment building in Vancouver, say they were awarded funding but haven’t received the money. The construction is currently in limbo, The Columbian reported.    Margaret Salazar is the CEO of REACH Community Development,  a nonprofit affordable housing provider. She joins us with more on how this affects Oregon’s housing crisis and what it means for low-income residents.
