Are tariffs still something to worry about? Tariffs might sound like a distant, big-business issue, but as Bruce Kaminstein shares, their impact is immediate and destructive for small businesses across the country. In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg welcomes back Bruce Kaminstein—Angel Investor, Founder of Casabella, and CNBC Contributor—to break down the real impacts of this overlooked crisis. He explains—from real math and real-world examples—how quickly tariffs can push companies to the financial brink, why moving manufacturing isn't as simple as picking another country, and why “Made in America” is often an impractical dream due to capital, workforce, and regulatory barriers. What you'll learn in this episode: The brutal impact of unpredictable tariffs—and how sudden spikes up to 145% are gutting small businesses across America The hidden cost of supply chain disruption: Why reshoring sounds good politically but fails economically for most industries An insider look at how planning becomes impossible when trade policy shifts overnight—killing innovation, cash flow, and inventory control How inflation is fueled by tariffs—and why empty shelves and rising prices are just the beginning The double standard in trade policy: How corporate lobbyists win exemptions while small businesses are left defenseless Why “Made in America” isn't a silver bullet—and the real challenges of rebuilding U.S. manufacturing from the ground up How small businesses, despite driving nearly half of the economy, have no voice in the tariff conversation Key Takeaways: Protect Small Businesses from Tariff Spikes: Sudden tariff increases hit small businesses hardest, leaving them with two bad options—raise prices or take losses—putting their survival at risk. Rethink "Reshoring" Assumptions: Moving supply chains isn't quick or cheap. Most small businesses can't afford the costs, lost relationships, or infrastructure gaps needed to relocate or return production to the U.S. Plan for Tariff Volatility: Constant tariff changes wreck forecasting. Uncertainty around pricing, inventory, and logistics cripples growth, cash flow, and customer trust—killing innovation at the root.

In this episode, I explore the dramatic transformation of American higher education from an accessible pathway to opportunity in the 1970s to today's debt-laden system.

What started as a peaceful getaway quickly became a nightmare as the house seemed to take on a life of its own. From mysterious phone calls with no one on the other end to the eerie sound of footsteps echoing through empty hallways, the house seemed to be alive with unexplained occurrences. As the days passed, strange lights and vehicles appeared at the end of the driveway, despite a storm that had washed out the bridge. And one night, a figure was seen descending the stairs, only to vanish before the listener's eyes.

When thirty-four year old Sherri Holland never arrived at her north Atlanta home after a drive up from Florida, her family knew something was wrong. More than a week later, her car was found abandoned along the side of I-75, less than thirty miles from her home. The car was in good shape, but a nail had flattened the front tire.Days later, Sherri's beloved dogs were found less than three miles from the car but there was no sign of the missing woman. As investigators dug deeper into the case they found many people unwilling to cooperate and even noted the family were somewhat limited in what information they would provide. It wouldn't take long to uncover Sherri's involvement in an illegal business which opened the doors to a world of potential suspects and motives.Use promo code "Trace" to save 10% on your ticket for CrimeCon DenverFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Echoes of Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Past Lives" Music from Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #realcrimes #disappeared #evidence #holland #sherriholland #sherrivanessaholland #floridaunsolved #flaglerbeach #georgiaunsolved #atlanta #buckheadBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.

Booker Prize long-listed English author Susanna Clarke is one of the most influential fantasy writers of our time.
Two women, two continents, two stories whispered in the shadows of history. One, a mystic in war-torn Europe, said to channel voices from the stars—secrets that could have changed the fate of nations. The other, a siren of the Amazon, her voice enchanting the elite until rumors of blood and immortality stained her legacy. Maria Orsic, vanished without a trace in 1945. Camille Montfort, buried in 1896—or so they say. But what if the truth isn't that simple? What if the past still echoes with their footsteps, or something darker?

In this explosive segment, hosts dissect the growing allegations of corruption surrounding President Joe Biden and his family's alleged ties to Chinese money. From IRS whistleblowers gagged before the election to Van Jones breaking Democratic silence on Biden's cognitive decline, the conversation uncovers layers of suppression, manipulation, and media complicity. With claims of DOJ interference, foreign influence, and a shadow presidency, this episode challenges the official narrative and questions who's really calling the shots in the White House. A fiery takedown of unchecked power, selective justice, and the double standard driving America's political divide.

The next, they vanished without warning, abandoning phones, wallets, and reality itself.In this episode, we explore the chilling true story of the Tromp family's disappearance—an event that gripped Australia and baffled investigators. Over five days in 2016, the Tromps fled their home, scattered across rural highways, and left behind a trail of confusion, fear, and unanswered questions.Was it a shared psychosis? An unseen threat? Or something even stranger? Join us as we piece together the bizarre clues behind one of the most unsettling family mysteries of the modern era.We're telling that story tonight
Over a span of 39 years, 23 aliases, 28 arrests in 20 cities, and nearly a dozen imprisonments, Robert Spears had lived a con artists' life of unparalleled adventure and intrigue. This is his story.Shortly before Thanksgiving Day in 1959, a plane exploded in mid-air, killing all 42 passengers and crew and leaving scattered debris and bodies across the otherwise tranquil Gulf waters. Listed on the manifest was Dr. Robert Spears—once the highly regarded president of the Texas Naturopathic Association. Father of two small children with a lovely, society-minded wife and an elegant home in an exclusive neighborhood, it was a monumental tragedy for them as it was for all the souls lost that day.Less than two months later, Robert Spears miraculously “rose from the dead” in Phoenix where he was promptly arrested. Headlining newspapers nationwide—“Man Downs Airliner to Fake Death”—Spears was discovered to have cleverly switched identities, persuaded his friend, Al Taylor, to fly with his plane ticket, asked him to carry “a package” on board, and drove away in his buddy's car with his wallet and driver's license.As the FBI began to investigate, they uncovered a stunning, mind-bending tale of murder, abortion rings, and false identities—more than 25 aliases for Spears alone—as well as insurance scams and investment fraud that stretched over decades.But that was far from the end of the story.Methodically and carefully researched for years and meticulously sourced by a research sociologist and author, Vanishing Act is one of the great true crime stories of our time and a compelling read that is paced like a page-turning, mystery novel. Until now, the complete and shocking story has never been told.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/houseofmysteryradio.

Long before superheroes, there was… The Crystal Man. A tale of a vanishing body and visible consequences. He was H.G. Wells before Wells. The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today we introduce you to an author that some refer to as “the lost giant of American science fiction.” Perfect for The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast don't ya think? He wrote about an invisible man, the story you are about to hear, before H.G. Wells The Invisible Man, wrote about a time-travel machine The Clock that Went Backward before Wells's The Time Machine and more.Why was he referred to as lost? Well, Edward Page Mitchell who was born in Maine in 1852 was an editorial and short story writer for The Sun, a daily newspaper in New York City. His stories appeared in the newspaper without a byline. So his work went mostly forgotten until a lot of investigative work by science fiction historian and fellow author Sam Moskowitz in the 1970s unearthed these groundbreaking stories.Originally published in The Sun on Sunday January 30th, 1881, The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, They worshiped him as a god, this man condemned to death on that lonely world, Master Of The Asteroid By Clark Ashton Smith.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV===========================
Melanie O'Loughlin reviews Vanishing World by Sayaka Murata
When the Countess of Lucan burst into a West London pub drenched head-to-toe in blood, it instantly sparked a national obsession. Lord Lucan – the suave, speedboat-racing, professional-gambling aristocrat – was wanted for the murder of their housekeeper, Sandra Rivett. And he had disappeared without a trace.This week, we sift through the theories on Britain's most famous fugitive (from the bonkers to the actually quite credible) to try to get to the bottom of the nation's favourite murder mystery once and for all.Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(The Hidebehind) *** Brianna Maitland left her dishwashing job and was never seen alive again. Despite various theories and sightings, Brianna's disappearance continues to baffle investigators and haunt her family, who still hold out hope for answers and her safe return.

The ancients didn't just fear death — they weaponized it, leaving behind curses in hieroglyphics meant to haunt anyone brave enough to look.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: They say grief lingers in the house where children were murdered… but so does something colder, crueler — and far more dangerous. (The Horror of Waupun, Wisconsin) *** In the haunted heart of Edinburgh, there's a pub where the drinks are strong and the screams are stronger. (The Spirits of Banshee Labyrinth) *** The last person to see Virginia alive passed a polygraph — but his wife said he didn't come home until hours later. (The Vanishing of Virginia Carpenter) *** Asteroids, alien civilizations, even cosmic plagues — the real terror isn't what we can see in the sky… it's what we can't. (Space Threats to Earth) *** It started with flirtation, turned into an affair, and ended with a gunshot echoing through the cold night air in a Walgreen's parking lot. (Three Shots In The Night) *** They carved their warnings into stone 4,000 years ago — and now, after centuries of silence, the hieroglyphic curses of the dead are being read aloud once again.

HOUR ONE: It is considered by many, Britain's most well-known disappearing person case. Even now, over three decades later, people in the UK are still fascinated and intrigued by the unexplained vanishing of Suzy Lamplugh. (The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery) *** John List planned the murders of his own family so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (The Family Man Who Murdered His Family) *** We'll look at what it was like to be a woman in the 17th Century… and accused of witchcraft. (Witchly Accusations) *** If you drink whiskey, or even if you don't, you're likely familiar with “Jameson Irish Whiskey.” But did you know that cannibalism played a part in its history? (Whiskey and Cannibalism) *** A strange phenomenon takes place in Arkansas, and despite the numerous sightings and investigations, there is still no explanation for it. (Unexplained In Arkansas)==========HOUR TWO: Seeing a lifelike human skeleton in a doctor's office, especially in the past couple of centuries, was – and in many cases still is - commonplace. But where did one go to get such lifelike skeletons if you were a doctor in the 1800s? Why, a skeleton factory, of course! (The Skeleton Factory) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story. (The Lynching of Cattle Kate) *** In March of 2004, teenager Brianna Maitland left work in the late evening hours and was never seen again. To this day it is still one of Vermont's most infamous mysteries. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** Plus, “The Haunted Adirondack Mountains”==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Parents always feel their child is special in some way – something that makes their child better in some way than other children. Parents of indigo children are no different, with some parents thinking their children have psychic abilities. Doctors say that these children have ADD or ADHD, but one parapsychologist says indigo children have something even more special – possibly even paranormal - inside them. (Supernatural Indigo Children) *** When you think of a mad scientist you most likely think of Victor Frankenstein – but it's rumored Mary Shelley took inspiration for the character from a real mad scientist by the name of Andrew Ure. (Andrew Ure: A Real Life Mad Scientist) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story.
