The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Admitted Racist Stacy Horn. Classified as a White Woman, Horn is a New York native, prolific author and cat lover. A listener found her 7th book, The Killing Fields of East New York: The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, a White-Collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of an American Neighborhood, and gave it a surprising endorsement. Horn chronicles how Race Soldiers in all areas of people activity targeted the black and non-white populations of East New York. White bankers, White enforcement officials, White government officials, White realtors, White enforcement officers all schemed to devastate attempted black families who just wanted to pay market value for housing. Horn makes a point of regularly reminding listeners that White people do not orchestrate systemic looting campaigns against poor White people. This sort of terrorism is reserved for black people. Gus thought it was massively important that many of the Racists in this crime are White people who claim to be “jewish.” Gus T has been told more times than he can recall that black people and White people who allege to be “jewish” are supposed to be homies in countering Racism and definitely not the terrorist with their foot on our neck and hand in our pocket. Importantly, Gus T. asked Ms. Horn if all White people are Racist. She responded by saying that her mom did her best to not be Racist. But... she still referred to her black "friend's" new child as a "boy." Moments being politely corrected, Horn hopped on the subway and branded a group of black male teens as grizzled, middle-aged looters and potential rapists. She admitted to cowering in her seat to hide from the privileged negro train riders. After moments of cowering, she realized they were just harmless black teens being children - not rapists. So, even she is Racist. Gus did think we were going to have a brief outburst about President Lyndon B. Johnson being a White Man who was not Racist. Vietnam shut that down quickly. #WhiteSupremacyPays #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

The more I travel (and the older I get!), the more I realise how little I know, and how wrong I've been about so many things! In this episode, I chat with three guests about various ways their travel experiences have transformed their thinking and perspective, and the general consensus is that everything's more complicated than we first think. I speak with Nikki Padilla Rivera about her experiences in Vietnam and Cuba, two very different work trips that introduced her to local knowledge and culture in varying ways and smashed her preconceived ideas about these places. Next, my discussion with Tom Sykes harks back to our younger years of travelling and how we now reconsider our old thoughts and attitudes, and in general how much travel teaches us about the nuances of the world, politics, culture and more. Finally, I round out the episode with a story from James Ward about a perspective shift in his daughters after he took them to Zambia.

It's the 50th anniversary of Project Censored, so we had another great discussion w/ its director Mickey Huff of Project about the history of muckraking and how it evolved into the corporate media we have today. We also discussed evolution of media in the Vietnam, Watergate eras and after toward a more complicit approach with government which has led us to the current moment of Trump's threats and intimidation of the media. Finally , we talked about the importance of independent media and investigative journalism. Guest Bio// Mickey Huff is the director of Project Censored (founded in 1976) and is the president of the nonprofit Media Freedom Foundation.

Al via domenica la 58esima edizione di Vinitaly, che si concluderà il 15 aprile a Veronafiere. ANCHE QUEST'ANNO SAREMO OSPITATI NELLO STAND DI PASQUA VINI , PADIGLIONE 5 , STAND E4. La fiera si rafforza sotto tutti i punti di vista, dagli spazi dedicati all enoturismo a quelli per i distillati, passando dai No-Lo. Tutto dedicato in primis ai circa mille top buyer internazionali attesi da 70 Paesi (selezionati insieme a Ita-Italia Trade Agency), che vedono in testa Usa (a dimostrazione che al di là della turbativa dazi sul mercato, l interesse per i vini italiani resta alta) e Canada (che registra un exploit con una trentina di top buyer in più rispetto al 2025). È stato poi potenziato l'ingaggio della domanda asiatica guidata dalla Cina, ma con accrediti in crescita da India, Giappone, Thailandia, Vietnam. Tra le piazze più dinamiche dell America Latina ci sono Brasile (notizia positiva in ottica Mercosur) e Messico. In crescita anche l Africa, senza dimenticare la centralità dell Europa. L'offerta è invece rappresentata da circa 4mila aziende del Made in Italy enologico e un palinsesto di oltre cento eventi tra degustazioni, talk e focus. Tra le novità, cresce il progetto dedicato ai dealcolati e ai prodotti a basso grado alcolico, con NoLo - Vinitaly Experience : la start up in collaborazione con Unione Italiana Vini debutta con una nuova collocazione e un calendario strutturato di masterclass e focus di mercato. Vinitaly Tourism si consolida con un programma che copre tutti i giorni della fiera e rafforza il calendario di incontri b2b. Spazio poi alla ristorazione con concept mirati e famosi chef per celebrare le sinergie con la Cucina Italiana patrimonio culturale immateriale Unesco. L evoluzione riguarda anche i servizi e il digitale, con il potenziamento di Vinitaly Plus, con al centro il nuovo Buyers Club, la piattaforma di networking che da quest anno favorisce il business bidirezionale tra produttori e buyer, e l esordio di Bacco AI. Intanto molto produttori lamentano un caro energia che si scarica tra il 20 e il 30% sul costo del vetro per le bottiglie. E qualcuno inizia a lamentare milioni di merci bloccate nello stretto di Hormuz. Ne parliamo proprio con i produttori che sono passati a trovarci nei nostri studi: Marilisa Allegrini, Gruppo Marilisa Allegrini, Igor Boccardo, amministratore delegato di Leone Alato, Michele Noal, Presidente del Consorzio Tutela Asolo Montello, Andrea Conzonato, Amministratore delegato di Herita Marzotto Wine Estates Amazon sfida Starlink con l'acquisizione di GlobalstarAmazon ha annunciato l acquisizione di Globalstar per circa 11,57 miliardi di dollari, mettendo le mani su una costellazione di satelliti, licenze, infrastrutture a terra e contratti già attivi per rafforzare il progetto Kuiper e sfidare direttamente Starlink di Elon Musk nell orbita bassa terrestre. Globalstar è una società di telecomunicazioni satellitari che offre servizi voce, dati e localizzazione a clienti privati, aziende e governi, con una rete di satelliti in orbita bassa già operativa e focalizzata sulla connessione in aree con scarsa copertura. Dispone inoltre di diritti sullo spettro radio e di infrastrutture strategiche, oltre a essere partner di Apple per la funzione Emergency SOS via satellite su iPhone e Apple Watch, che continuerà anche dopo il passaggio di proprietà. L operazione accelera la traiettoria di Amazon nello spazio: il progetto Kuiper, che prevede il lancio di oltre 3.200 satelliti, potrà contare su capacità operativa già funzionante, riducendo il ritardo rispetto a Starlink, che oggi conta circa 10.000 satelliti in orbita e milioni di utenti nel mondo. La corsa alla banda larga via satellite si intensifica ulteriormente, confermandosi una delle principali sfide tecnologiche e industriali globali, soprattutto per la copertura delle aree più remote. Interviene Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore editoriale UCapital.com Un ecosistema geopolitico nuovo a trazione cineseMentre Washington si agita, Pechino costruisce. Senza clamore, senza dichiarazioni. Il ruolo del Pakistan nella mediazione è solo la superficie.Sotto, in modo neanche troppo discreto, si muove la regia cinese. Islamabad e Pechino sono iron brothers da oltre settant anni: un asse costruito su fiducia politica e convergenza strategica. Quando il quadro economico ha iniziato a deteriorarsi (energia instabile, crescita a rischio) la Cina ha attivato le sue leve. Pressioni su Teheran, ormai legata a doppio filo. Influenza sui Paesi del Golfo. E un segnale implicito a Washington, giocato sull interruttore più sensibile: le terre rare. Non serve alzare la voce quando controlli il circuito: basta spegnere la luce al momento giusto. Ne emerge un ecosistema geopolitico nuovo, fluido e inquietante. Cina, Russia, Iran, Corea del Nord costituiscono un nucleo centrale. Attorno, una rete variabile di attori che convergono su un obiettivo minimo: ridurre la centralità americana, testare i limiti occidentali, proteggere i corridoi energetici eurasiatici. Non è un alleanza formale. È una convergenza di interessi, ed è ancora più difficile da contrastare perché non ha bisogno di essere dichiarata ed è mutevole nella composizione. In questo contesto, gli Stati Uniti non perdono solo potenza. Perdono la cosa più preziosa: la reputazione. E senza reputazione, anche la forza militare e finanziaria diventa meno efficace. Perché il potere, prima ancora che esercitato, deve essere creduto. E oggi sempre meno attori sono disposti a farlo senza una risata trattenuta. La storia è del resto implacabile quando si parla di crisi energetiche. Il 1973 ha ridisegnato la distribuzione della ricchezza globale. Il 1990 ha consolidato l egemonia americana. Oggi la crisi di Hormuz rischia di segnare un passaggio ulteriore: non un crollo improvviso, ma un lento trasferimento di centralità. E allora la metafora del transatlantico torna, inevitabile. Non siamo davanti a un naufragio spettacolare, ma a una deriva progressiva. La nave resta imponente, continua a muoversi, mantiene la sua aura. Ma ha perso la rotta. La verità è che l impero americano non viene abbattuto dall esterno. Si consuma dall interno, tra scelte miopi e illusioni di controllo. Il commento è di Giuliano Noci, Professore ordinario in Ingegneria Economico-Gestionale presso il Politecnico di Milano

Secret Police, CIA operatives, The Pentagon Papers, and The Most Dangerous Man in America. There was a time in the not-so-distant past, when the nightly news changed the game in how Americans felt about the war in Vietnam, the first “television war.” What was more of a shock to some though, was the realization that the American public had been lied to for decades by the U.S. government, spanning four presidential administrations. How did this influence the Watergate scandal? And how did the lavish “gathering of the Century” in Iran, attended by Vice President Agnew, tie into future allegations of broad political corruption To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Bill Clark is a former DEVGRU military working dog handler — one of the first brought into the program when it launched around 2002. He grew up in chaos. His father was a Vietnam-era Marine door gunner. His mother married five times. His stepfathers were abusive. He played Division I football, joined the Marines, switched to the Navy for a dog handler slot, and ended up spending 13 years at the command across 13 deployments. He ran over 350 operations and logged more than 200 bites. He survived late-stage colon cancer at 37 — linked to battlefield exposures — and now leads executive protection for Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, who is building what may become the largest stem cell treatment hub in America at his clinic in Gillette, Wyoming. Dr. Bob Harmon calls himself a cow doctor. He started as a large-animal veterinarian out of UC Davis, got pulled into doing clinical trials for pharma companies, and then one day watched stem cells beat like a heart in a petri dish — no electrical stimulation, just cells that had been told what to become. That moment changed the trajectory of his career. He built a veterinary stem cell company that has now treated over 25,000 patients across 60 species. He developed stem cell therapy for the Navy's dolphins and sea lions. And he became the first person in the history of biopharma to take only veterinary data to the FDA and get approval for a human clinical trial. His company, Personalized Stem Cells, is now treating humans under the Federal Right to Try Act and the newly signed Wyoming Stem Cell Freedom Act. We talk about the night Bill's dog Axe took a round through the skull and kept trying to get back in the fight. What it looks like to laze a door from 300 yards and send a dog into a compound full of armed fighters. How big pharma's animal and human divisions refuse to talk to each other. Why your own fat holds young stem cells at any age — even at 92. The difference between your own cells and donor cells. The ten COVID ICU patients who all walked out. How stem cells make their own morphine-like painkiller and could break the opioid addiction cycle. The TBI pilot study coming for veterans. And what it would take to get stem cells on the sideline of an NFL game or in a medic's backpack on the battlefield.  https://www.personalizedstemcells.com/   Today's Sponsors:  Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com   David: David is offering our listeners a special deal: buy 4 cartons and get the 5th free when you go to https://www.davidprotein.com/CLEAREDHOT

Keith explores how long-running social and economic shifts are redefining the American Dream—especially for younger adults who are putting off milestones like moving out, starting families, and buying homes.  He connects these trends to today's housing scarcity, elongated renter stage, and what that means for long-term rental demand and real estate investors. Keith also zooms out to place the current moment in the sweep of American history, then welcomes Redfin Chief Economist Dr. Daryl Fairweather for a data-driven conversation on affordability, supply constraints, renting versus owning, and how demographic changes could shape the next wave of opportunities in both ownership and rental markets.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:54   Welcome to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, the voice of real estate investing since 2014 almost nobody talks about a really important story going on in America today. And I find this really astonishing. I mean, you could almost never think of America the same way again, as you'll hear while you've got these other headlines out there, constantly sucking oxygen out of the room, like decisions from the White House and inflation and wars. One big story. It moves so slowly that it kind of creeps up on you. It is the jaw dropping change in American society over the last 40 years. And then we'll discuss its seismic changes for real estate. And this is sourced from a Census Bureau supplement. It's about how fewer us adults reach typical life milestones by age 30, and this is partly because more adults opt for college than in previous generations. Oh, well, college doesn't sound like such a bad thing. I'll get to that. And by the way, 30 is an age that has come and gone for me, so I've lived through it. We're looking at a period from 1985 to 2025 so 40 years first, it's those that live on their own. In 1985 it was 83% today it's just 67% so then the percentage that don't live on their own and probably live with their parents or roommates, that has doubled. You see even more drastic declines for other milestones since 1985 those that have ever married from 77% down to 45% those that live with a child and the responsibility that this entails that's fallen from 59% down to 36% and those that own a home 48 down to 29% and again, this is for all 30 year olds since 1985 this steady, sliding, relentless decline of those who live on their own, are married, have a child, or own a home, is pretty stunning, and this is inside the most powerful nation on Earth. And here's the thing, this pattern from about 40 years ago, it unabatedly crosses through booms and busts and bubbles and bailouts, sort of like it didn't even notice those things. Somewhat ironically, what's grown during this time is the percentage that have a bachelor's degree. It's gone from 25 up to 43% so therefore, here we. Are. We've got this generation that's better educated than ever, and yet more of them are stuck down on the launch pad. It's like we built better rockets yet we can't light the fuse. And before I help you make sense of this and tell you what I believe the main force behind it to be, you just got to consider what an unfathomable aberration this has all become. At age 25 James Madison was the key architect of the US Constitution. A lot of constitution signers were in their 20s and 30s. At age 21 Steve Jobs started Apple in a garage at 20 Bill Gates co founded Microsoft at 19 Mark Zuckerberg built Facebook in a dorm room. And sure, some of these are exceptional examples, but these people committed early, and then they figured it out on the fly.   Keith Weinhold  5:59   Well, what about women? The US birth rate has hit an all time record low, because today, nearly half of 30 year old women are still child free. Okay, so some of this is logical. You can connect a few dots here more time in school, yeah, all right, that means later marriages and later kids. Sure, student debt that equals financial Gravity Boots that keep you in place. Urban living means smaller spaces. But when you stack all this together, like I just laid out later, it's not just later anymore. It is really later. That is the huge change that really startles you when you put all of this together and again, remember, over this same time span, 1985 to today, I've mentioned before how the average age of the first time homebuyer has ballooned from 29 up to 40. I mean 40 that can really take some time to sink in. And again, that's just the average in high cost housing areas. This number could be 45 or higher. I mean, sheesh, the starter home is now like a midlife purchase, and it's made right around the time that your back starts to make decisions for you, consider where we are here now, the term home ownership that is increasingly linked to older people. Those things home ownership and older people are increasingly synonymous terms. Now, owning a home, it's like a luxury good for the already established. I mean, it is pretty jaw dropping. And one contributor to these friends is the lack of available housing supply, still a 60 to 70% collapse in some populous northeast states, but really something like that. That's just a small thing. When you amalgamate it all together, it's become cultural really. The bigger trend that underlies this decline in meeting life milestones at age 30 is that long term true inflation exceeds wage increases over the decades, but there are big social shifts too. And by the way, I left my parents home for good at age 23 and some surely do so younger than I did marriage and children, they are the classic triggers to buy a house, and the longer that these type of milestones get postponed, the more likely people are to favor then flexibility over committing to a mortgage, and this then means that there is an elongated renter stage of life. Renters are no longer just passing through they're no longer just graduated from college, renting a year or two and then buying a home. Instead, they are planting flags and really pounding in stakes. And there are countless surveys that show that renters value the ability of being able to relocate without the hassle of having to sell a house. And on top of all of these trends as America ages overall, something really interesting starts to happen. This is why single family rentals have really begun to shine over the past few years, and why you had this Advent and popularity of new build and build to rent rental properties coming onto the market because single families give people the feeling of home and space and privacy and a backyard for the dog, but yet at the same time, it's commitment light, a lighter version. Now apartments benefit too, of course, and for investors, this isn't just. The trend, this is a long term tailwind, fewer life transitions. It means more stable occupancy and longer renter life cycles that lead to fewer turnovers and vacancies and repairs, so less churn, more consistency and better predictability. So the bottom line here is that this delay of life milestones, it's not subtle. It is pretty seismic, and increasingly people say that the American dream no longer even includes home ownership. Demography is destiny, and they must rent from you. And here at GRE we invest like these trends are real, but I really want to emphasize that this elongated renter stage of life really is a long term, long tail phenomenon. And I want to emphasize that because, like I said last week, in the short term, we really aren't seeing any significant rent increases due to that affordability constraint. Now we're nearly five years after America had a big wave of consumer inflation, and that really hurt kind of people this age that I'm talking about, people in their 20s and 30s, that really hurt them the most because they don't own assets that compound with the concurrent asset price inflation, they only had to deal with the bad stuff, the consumer price inflation.    Keith Weinhold  11:30   And as America approaches its 250th birthday, let's think about how this era compares to other decades. And by the way, do you know what a 250th anniversary is called? I put a line about this in my newsletter that I sent you the other day. It is called a semiquincentennial, or, I guess, semi quincentennial. I don't think that anyone's going to be using that word after the fireworks. Semiquincentennial. That sounds like a word that an Economic Committee came up with during a recession to kind of mask a worse problem or something. I suppose that the etymology makes sense. If you break it down, quincentennial would be 500 and semi would be half of 500 in any case, as you try to compare this American era to others, listen to this from the parallel truth. This is about three minutes long, and then I'll come back to comment. It's America by decade, starting all the way back in the 1770s This is a decent summary here, although it can get unnecessarily gloomy at times.   Speaker 2  12:41   Imagine you could live in the United States one decade at a time, not the America you see in movies, not the America in textbooks, but the real America. Let's start with the 1770s the decade of independence. This is not a freedom story, yet. It's a war story. Most people are farmers, roads are mud, medicine is almost nothing. And if you're a young man, your future is simple, fight or starve. Then came the 1800s The decade of expansion. America is still small, but it's hungry, new land, new states, New promises, but there is also growing slavery. Native tribes are being pushed out, and the country is quietly building a conflict it can't avoid. Now it's the 1860s the decade America almost died. There is civil war, Brother versus brother. Cities are burning. If you lived here, you didn't watch history, you survived it. Next is the 1900s The decade of industrial America, factories, railroads, steel, oil. The country becomes a machine. Cities explode with workers, but life is brutal, long hours, dirty air, child labor, you might earn money, but you will pay with your health. It's the 1920s now, the decade of jazz and madness. This is America's first big party decade, cars, radio, Hollywood. Everyone thinks the future is unstoppable. Then came the 1930s the decade the party ended. The Great Depression happens, banks collapse and jobs disappear. People line up for bread. A man with a suit could be broke in one week. This decade teaches America one lesson, that money is not real until it's in your hand. It's the 1940s now the decade America became the world's boss. World War Two turns the US into the world's factory. While Europe is burning, America is building. And when the war ends, America comes out richer than anyone in history. It's the 1950s the decade of the American dream, suburbs, big houses, one salary supports a whole family, TV dinners, new cars, new highways. This is the decade America sells the world the idea of perfect life. Next came 1960s the decade of rebellion, civil rights, Vietnam assassinations, the country feels like it's splitting. You could be hopeful or terrified, sometimes both in the same week, 1970s was the decade the system started breaking, oil crisis, inflation, crime rate, and in 1971 America quietly changes money forever. The dollar stops being backed by gold. From this point onward, America runs on trust. It. The 1980s the decade of Wall Street, America, big business, big spending. The stock market becomes religion. America looks confident again, but the middle class starts weakening slowly. Then came the 1990s the decade America felt unstoppable. The Soviet Union has collapsed and the US feels untouchable. The internet is born. This is the decade where Americans truly believe that they have won. It's the 2000s now the decade of shock, 911, wars, fear, surveillance, then 2008 hits, banks crash, housing collapses, and America learns something painful. The people who caused the crisis don't pay for it. It's the 2000s and 10s, the decade of the digital trap. Social media becomes reality, politics becomes war. Everyone is online, but nobody feels connected. The economy recovers, but normal people don't. And finally, it's the 2020s. The decade, chaos became normal. Pandemic changes everything. Supply chains are collapsing, inflation returns, AI arrives and trust collapses. And by 2026 America is still rich, but it feels exhausted. People are working harder, owning less, and trusting nobody. And the strangest part is that America didn't collapse. It just slowly became a different country, not through invasion, not through revolution, but through decades of small changes that added up to a completely new reality. So the real question is, if you could choose one decade to live in? Which one would you pick?   Keith Weinhold  16:22    Yeah, which decade would you pick to live in? A lot of people say the 1950s where we had, like they touched on there the post war boom and how one salary could support an entire household. Some people say the 1990s because the Cold War ended, we had the start of Wide Internet use, and it's before you had these stark political divisions where people started to put party ahead of country. Now some people would probably say, Are you kidding me? I'd rather live in this decade right here. I can work from home more easily than I ever could have before. And I think you can make valid cases for all of those things. And speaking of this era, a quarter just ended, and we do this quarterly at most. It's our asset class rundown. Year over year, national home prices are only up about half of 1% per the nar 1% Case Shiller and totality, single family rent index shows just 1.3% rent growth. That's year over year. This quarter, the s, p5 100 was down 5% stocks of all types are down largely to the Iran war. The yield on the 10 year treasury note rose from 4.1 up to 4.3% due to higher inflation expectations. Why does that matter so much? That's what influences 30 year mortgage rates, which also rose from 6.2 up to 6.5% West Texas Intermediate oil prices soared from 59 bucks to over 100 last quarter. Gold hit an all time high of 5400 bucks in the quarter, and then fell to about 4600 by the end of the quarter. Other precious metals hit their all time peak. Bitcoin fell from 88k down to 68k That's the asset class rundown. I'll return with Redfin's chief economist, Dr Darrell fairweather and more. I'm Keith Weinhold.

It's Robert Helms of the real estate guys radio program, so glad you found Keith Weinhold and get rich education, don't quit your Daydream.   Keith Weinhold  20:35   This week's guest is the chief economist of Redfin during the housing crisis. She worked at the Boston Fed, studying why homeowners enter foreclosure. Since 2023 she served at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. She holds her BS from MIT, and she really knows her way around campuses, because she received her Master's and PhD in Economics at the University of Chicago, where she specialized in behavioral economics, that's interesting. Welcome to GRE. Darrell fairweather,   Daryl Fairweather  21:06   thank you for having me.    Keith Weinhold  21:08   Hey, Daryl. I'd like to get to some of the statistics later in the things that Redfin does and compiles, but tell us about the behavioral side of the housing market that's often so interesting and evencounterintuitive   Daryl Fairweather  21:22   yeah, one of the most interesting things about the housing market is that people get really emotional when making this huge financial decision. It's something that people don't have a lot of practice with. Most people maybe buy a home once or twice in their whole life. There's so much social weight that's put on it. It's the American dream. There's a lot of family pressure, and there's a lot of hurting behavior that can happen. People get swept up in the moment. Maybe they overbid on a home, or maybe they miss out because other people are avoiding the housing market. So it's a really interesting place to both study psychology and economics.   Keith Weinhold  21:56   Sure, most homeowners are just inexperienced at this whole thing. Yeah, behavioral economics, it really has this strong gravity in real estate. Maybe something that you've said touches on what I call the Zestimate illusion. A lot of times, sellers anchor their price to not just the Zillow estimate, but sometimes even the peak sale price in the whole neighborhood, and that's what they think that they should get for their home?   Daryl Fairweather  22:21   Yeah, that does happen quite a bit. And I don't think a lot of people realize how much those estimates can move once a home is listed. The list price tends to move that estimate quite a lot. So it's not a fact. And those estimates don't really know many details about the home, like what upgrades might have happened, or what internally is happening within the home, like if people have gotten new appliances or gotten a new air conditioning system, it doesn't really take those things into account. So you shouldn't just anchor off of the Redfin estimate. You should definitely talk to an agent. Look at the comps. The comps can tell you a lot in terms of what homes have sold for recently, and then track your local market in terms of whether it is going up in value or down in value, because those comps might be a little bit stale, and you have to adjust for where the market is right now.   Keith Weinhold  23:06   There's some really good points there. And when I think of the behavioral side of economics in the real estate market, another nascent thing that comes to mind Darrell, is the rate shock paralysis that really set in in America in 2022 mortgage rates are still historically on the low side. But few people think about it that way. They're really swayed by the recency bias   Daryl Fairweather  23:31   yes. And one thing to take into account, though, is how much home prices have gone up since the last time rates were this high. So if you're looking at the monthly mortgage payment and how much that is compared to people's monthly incomes, it is quite expensive to buy a home. In most metros, you cannot afford to buy a home on the local median income. There's only maybe four metros that are in the middle of the country where it's still affordable to buy a home on a middle class salary. So combined the rate and the price those mortgage payments are still quite expensive, although they have gotten slightly more affordable since last year because rates are slightly lower than last year, they did come up a bit with, you know, oil prices coming up, but still, compared to last year, rates are a bit lower and a bit more affordable to get a home.   Keith Weinhold  24:13   And of course, all this is besides the point that those 2021, mortgage rates, they were born out of a collapsing economy, and I don't think that we really want that either. But yes, to your point about affordability, that's been such a buzzword in the housing market for quite a while, and for good reason. It wasn't very long ago that we reached a 40 year low in affordability. Can you tell us about what can improve affordability next? Darrell or what's most likely to happen? For example, it seems like insurance rate increases have really leveled off.   Daryl Fairweather  24:50   Yes, the reason why affordability is so bad, especially in coastal cities, the places that have the most opportunities, is because of a lack of supply. Existing homeowners, they are fine. They like when their home goes up in value, but it really is a problem for first time homebuyers, when prices just keep climbing and when new housing gets proposed, it's often the existing homeowners who are blocking that housing from getting built, and so supply is constrained. You can see this very clearly in a place like San Francisco, which had a huge economic boom in the 2010s yet housing did not keep up with all of the job opportunities that were coming to the area, and when you have all these people moving in with higher incomes, it drives up prices when there isn't adequate supply. You take Austin as another example. Austin had a huge boom during the pandemic, but supply responded. Builders built, there was a lot of development that happened, and as a result, prices came right back down. They're still above where they were pre pandemic, but nowhere near the heights that we saw back in 2021 so it just goes to show that when you allow supply to get built, it does help keep prices more moderate and keep things more affordable.   Keith Weinhold  25:59   Yes, and nimbyism is rampant, is consumer inflation or some of the other big forces out there, for sure, but yes, this national dearth of supply something that's existed even well before the pandemic, for example, it's bounced back somewhat, but still not quite enough, and it's really part of what, in my opinion, has helped support housing prices, even when mortgage rates tripled back in 2022 Can you tell us more what you believe about the future of housing supply with all the data that you do with there at Redfin Daryl,   Daryl Fairweather  26:37   housing supply improved a bit during the pandemic, but we're still far below What we need in order to make housing more accessible to middle class people. But there are new challenges that are coming. One that you mentioned is insurance. Insurance costs are going up. So even if you have a fixed rate mortgage and you've locked that in, you still have to worry about the rising cost of ownership because of insurance costs are going up. Property taxes are going up in many places, and maintenance costs are increasing. So that is going to make home ownership, and just the cost of ownership in general, whether you're an investor or an owner occupant, more expensive moving forward. And that's going to vary depending on where you are. There going to be some parts of the country where insurance goes up much faster, like in Florida, and other parts where insurance will probably be more stable like in the Midwest and Great Lakes region. So it's important now even more so to really research the neighborhood, research the home, and figure out how those expenses could increase in the future.   Keith Weinhold  27:32   Yeah, here we are in this housing market where, you know, Darrell, I think of it in a lot of ways, is, you know, maybe for three years now, we've largely been stuck in the mud, much of it due to lower supply, where we have a lower overall proportion of both buyers and sellers.   Daryl Fairweather  27:48   Yeah, what's happening right now is really an hangover from the pandemic, because so many people locked in 3% mortgage rates during the pandemic, and if those homeowners were to sell and buy again. Even if they bought the same priced home, they would end up paying more in their monthly mortgage payment because of how much higher mortgage rates are, and that's holding back supply quite significantly. It's the reason why prices have not come down despite rates going up, is because the higher rates are holding back both demand and supply at the same time, and contributing to the overall lack of inventory that's out there,   Keith Weinhold  28:24   this aberration where we have a big proportion of American homeowners living in homes where if they tried to repurchase that home at today's terms, they couldn't even do it. To your point about people not wanting to move, and that's a big reason why they almost can't. They might pay more in rent elsewhere for a like property if they were to sell what they own, if those still locked in terms and Darrell here, I think, you know, our audience is largely real estate investors, a lot of them investing in one to four unit properties. So with what you're seeing there at Redfin. And I think a lot of us know that, yeah, rent growth has been pretty slow as well. What do you see for rents in 2026 and perhaps 2027   Daryl Fairweather  29:08   originally, when we went to go do our predictions for 2026 we said that rents were going to increase this year. Now, I think that rents will continue to stay flat, and that's because there's still a lack of demand for for sale housing. People are staying in the rental market, but people are overall tightening their budgets because they're worried about the economy. They're worried about inflation. So if they can, you know, get roommates or live with family, they're going to choose to do that to keep their overall expenses lower, which will reduce demand for both for sale housing and for rental housing. And I think a lot of home sellers, they've tried to sell their homes. We saw many people try to sell their homes last year and then end up delisting their homes, and they're trying again. We saw more of those people come back in January, but I think those people are going to continue to kind of try to test the market, be a bit disappointed that there isn't enough demand, and then some of. Up for sale housing will end up as rental housing. Just driving around my neighborhood, I see so many rental signs on single family homes that I never saw before, almost more for rent signs, and I'm seeing for sale signs, so that added inventory from these accidental landlords who would like to move but don't want to give up their mortgage rate is going to increase the supply of single family rentals, and that will mean more competition for those investors that are trying to rent out the homes.   Keith Weinhold  30:27   Talk to us about rental occupancy. That's something that we're seeing at a historic low in apartment buildings, for one thing. But can you talk to us about what you see for future occupancy levels of both residential one to fours and apartments. Going forward,   Daryl Fairweather  30:43   a lot of new supply came online during the pandemic, especially in places that build a lot of condos. Many one bedroom or zero bedroom condos got built, and then those are really difficult to rent out, because, you know, they're just not that attractive. We really have more of a shortage of types of housing that's appropriate for families and those one bedroom units that are really targeted at like affluent young people. There aren't that many affluent people right now, so they're they're difficult to rent out. I think that trend is pretty much over. We're not seeing too many more condos being developed because the condos that were developed during the pandemic are still having trouble finding owners or finding renters in those apartment buildings. Now, I think we're going to start to see an uptick in single family rental vacancy, because I think a lot of those people who would like to sell their homes are having trouble selling their homes because of how mortgage rates are and how skittish people are about making a commitment to ownership right now, and they're going to alternatively try to rent out those and that will mean more availability of those rentals and not as much pressure on rents to go up in that segment of the market.   Keith Weinhold  31:51   Woe for the builder that targeted young, affluent types, they don't really exist so much anymore. That's really pretty interesting. Well, Darrell, do you have any last thoughts overall about the housing market? Maybe something I didn't think about asking you that's really important, whether that's for an investor or a prospective homeowner.    Daryl Fairweather  32:12   Yeah, I think if I was an investor right now, I would be paying attention to what economists and housing people call the silver tsunami that's older generations starting to sell their homes. We did a study recently that showed that people who are 70 years and above have as much wealth and housing as middle aged people, which is the first time that group has exceeded in terms of the wealth that they hold. And if you're 70 plus, there's definitely a clock ticking on how long you're going to stay in that home, which means that a lot of new inventory will become available in those homes. They probably need work. They probably need some renovations, and that could be a really great opportunity for an investor to buy a home that maybe has been neglected for a while because it's been a senior living in there who hasn't been really keeping it up to date. You can renovate it and perhaps sell it again to a younger buyer by doing some updates and make a nice profit there.    Speaker 3  33:03   Oh, well, Daryl, this has been a great update laced with plenty of practical things that someone can actually do. Do you have a resource you'd like to share in case our audience would like to connect?   Daryl Fairweather  33:16   Yes, you can find me basically on any social media channel. I'd recommend checking you out on YouTube to start. And then if you would like data on what's happening in your local housing market, you can check out the Redfin data center. Just Google Redfin data center, it'll bring you right there. And you can find lots of local data on your market,   Keith Weinhold  33:34   Daryl Fairweather. It's been great having you here on the show.   Daryl Fairweather  33:37    Thank you.   Keith Weinhold  33:44   Yeah, insightful material from Dr Darrell fairweather today, no end to the housing scarcity in sight. She says, rents continue to stay flat, partly due to this accidental landlord. They didn't plan to be a landlord, but they need to move and yet they don't want to sell the single family home that they got with a good owner occupied financing a few years ago. And the reason that's a headwind for single family investors, because it keeps more rental supply on the market. Last week, I touched on how you should not expect rent increases in the near term, I own a lot of single family rentals myself, and I am not getting rent increases. It's not so much that single family vacancies are high now, but apartment building vacancies are high. That fact alone that actually does hurt the single family rental market a little, because even though a renter might desire a single family, and maybe you think, Well, an apartment couldn't compete with that feeling. But yet, if an apartment is so much cheaper than the single family, and they often are now, well then that renter will go for the cheap apartment instead the one. You can think of Redfin is that they're part Zillow, part real estate agent, and part data company, and they can give you early signals on things like buyer demand and price direction and days on market, those types of indicators. So for the latest housing market research and news, you can do a search for the Redfin data center, and then for Daryl, start on YouTube. You can follow her on x at fairweather PhD, thanks to Dr Darrell fairweather today, until next week, I'm your host.

Why the Last Couch You'll Ever Buy Is the Most Radical Business Idea in America, with Shawn David Nelson What does it take to build a brand designed to last forever — in an industry built on replacement cycles? Shawn David Nelson started Lovesac at 18 with a hand-sewn bean bag made from his parents' chopped-up camping mattresses. He paid $25 to register the company. Today, Lovesac (NASDAQ: LOVE) operates 300+ showrooms, employs 2,000 people, and is one of the fastest-growing furniture brands in America — anchored by a product philosophy so counterintuitive it sounds almost reckless. They want you to buy their couch once. And keep it for the rest of your life. In this episode, Shawn shares the full arc: winning $1 million on Richard Branson's Fox reality show The Rebel Billionaire in 2004, surviving Chapter 11 bankruptcy two years later, and 10x-ing the company by purging 90% of their SKUs to focus on one brilliant product — the Sactionals modular sectional sofa system. He unpacks the demonstration marketing strategy that turned a showroom into a live brand story experience, the forever philosophy that redefines what sustainability really means, and the Shawnisms from his new book Let Me Save You 25 Years that distill 25 years of hard-won entrepreneurial wisdom. Park also runs Lovesac through the StoryCycle Genie brand analysis — and the results land remarkably close to Lovesac's own mission carved on the wall at headquarters: "We will inspire humankind to buy better stuff." What You'll Discover: • Why demonstration marketing drives 90% of Lovesac's business — and how it converts a showroom into a live brand story • How the forever philosophy turns sustainability from a marketing claim into an engineering commitment • The Shawnism that saved Lovesac from bankruptcy: "You can quit or you can keep going" • Why Lovesac is onshoring manufacturing to the U.S. — and why robots in America will be cheaper than Vietnam • How brand storytelling is 50% of building a remarkable product company — and why Shawn admits it's actually closer to 90% Find Shawn at Lovesac.com and on all social platforms @ShawnOfLovesac.

Al via ieri la 58esima edizione di Vinitaly, che si concluderà il 15 aprile a Veronafiere. ANCHE QUEST'ANNO SAREMO OSPITATI NELLO STAND DI PASQUA VINI , PADIGLIONE 5 , STAND E4.La fiera si rafforza sotto tutti i punti di vista, dagli spazi dedicati all'enoturismo a quelli per i distillati, passando dai No-Lo. Tutto dedicato in primis ai circa mille top buyer internazionali attesi da 70 Paesi (selezionati insieme a Ita-Italia Trade Agency), che vedono in testa Usa (a dimostrazione che al di là della turbativa dazi sul mercato, l interesse per i vini italiani resta alta) e Canada (che registra un exploit con una trentina di top buyer in più rispetto al 2025). È stato poi potenziato l'ingaggio della domanda asiatica guidata dalla Cina, ma con accrediti in crescita da India, Giappone, Thailandia, Vietnam. Tra le piazze più dinamiche dell'America Latina ci sono Brasile (notizia positiva in ottica Mercosur) e Messico. In crescita anche l'Africa, senza dimenticare la centralità dell'Europa. L'offerta è invece rappresentata da circa 4mila aziende del Made in Italy enologico e un palinsesto di oltre cento eventi tra degustazioni, talk e focus. Passano a trovarci nei nostri studi al Vinitaly: Federico Bricolo, il presidente di Veronafiere, Matteo Zoppas, presidente ICE - Agenzia per la promozione all'estero e l'internazionalizzazione delle imprese italiane, Luca Zaia, Presidente del Consiglio regionale Veneto, Riccardo Pasqua, Amministratore Delegato Pasqua Vini e Piero Mastroberardino, vice presidente Federvini.Giovani, famiglie con figli e operai: i più esposti al rischio inflazioneSecondo l'Istat, queste voci nel 2024 assorbono il 42,3% dei consumi medi delle famiglie, ma superano il 45% nei nuclei più vulnerabili e arrivano al 52% per chi è in cerca di lavoro, con un incidenza più alta nelle regioni del Sud e in Piemonte. L'andamento dei prezzi resta legato alle tensioni geopolitiche in Medio Oriente, che hanno riportato al centro gli shock energetici: a marzo l'inflazione è salita dello 0,5% mensile e dell'1,7% annuo, trainata dalla risalita degli energetici e degli alimentari. Dal 2019 al 2024 il peso delle spese essenziali è aumentato, ampliando le differenze tra famiglie e colpendo soprattutto giovani single, coppie con tre o più figli e nuclei con difficoltà occupazionale. Risultano invece meno esposte le coppie senza figli, a prescindere dall età, e le persone sole over 65, che presentano spese mediamente più basse e minori esigenze per trasporti e alimentari, oltre alle famiglie residenti nei centri delle grandi aree metropolitane, dove redditi più elevati consentono una maggiore quota di consumi non essenziali. Approfondiamo il tema con Cristiano Dell'Oste Il Sole 24 Ore.

Spoke to the witness and he has agreed to come on the show. A listener writes "I recently attended a meeting of my local Purple Heart chapter for combat wounded veterans. There were six of us in total three from the Global War on Terror and three Vietnam veterans. What stood out was that every Vietnam veteran who had been wounded shared that they had seen what they called a "rock ape." As they told their stories, the rest of us those from GWOT, myself included remained quiet.  After the meeting, I spoke privately with another GWOT veteran, who admitted he had also witnessed unusual things while serving as an Army instructor on a base. My own experience happened on the eastern shore of Cougar Reservoir in Oregon. I was camping with my family when, close to midnight, something began approaching our campsite. I first heard heavy footsteps about 100 meters away. As it drew closer, I realized I had to stand my ground. It was moving toward us steadily not sprinting, but deliberately giving my ex-wife time to turn on the SUV's lights and get our two toddlers out of the tent and into the vehicle, about 40 feet away. I positioned myself between the approaching figure and my family. It came down from a hill toward our campsite by the water, a distance I later confirmed to be about 100 meters. When it got within roughly 40 meters, I fired a couple of warning shots with my 9mm, though it felt completely inadequate. My plan, if it came closer, was to aim for the eye shine to buy my family more time. At around 20 30 meters, I could feel the vibration of its footsteps through the ground beneath my bare feet. Strangely, it kept its eyes covered as it approached. The SUV's headlights were shining directly at it on high beams, yet I couldn't see any eye reflection. I've never been able to shake the feeling that it understood what I was trying to do. It stopped about 12 feet in front of me and remained there while we finished loading the car. Once everyone was inside, I slowly backed away, got into the SUV, and drove us out along the narrow road leading from the campsite. For most of the encounter, I actually thought I was dealing with an elephant something large that could move quietly despite its size. I heard no brush breaking, despite the dense vegetation only the sound of its footsteps. I didn't smell anything, even when it was close. When I finally saw it clearly, my first thought was that it looked almost artificial, like something constructed. It took a while to come to terms with what I saw. I have no doubt that these creatures exist as living, physical beings. What unsettles me most is the pattern described by the Vietnam veterans each of them had seen one shortly before being wounded in separate incidents. My own encounter came much later, as did the other GWOT veteran's. Over the years, I've spoken with hundreds of veterans, often asking those with extensive time in the wilderness if they've ever experienced anything unusual. Most say no, or mention only distant, unexplained sounds. But in that room of Purple Heart recipients, only one of the six had not directly described seeing something. The rest of us had encountered what appeared to be a large, upright walking ape. Half of those sightings reportedly occurred just days before being wounded. To be fair, the one individual who didn't share may simply have chosen to remain silent."

Maj. Gen. John "Trapper" Winters joins the Afterburn Podcast for a two-hour conversation covering one of the most unconventional paths to two stars in Air Force history — starting as an F-4 Electronic Warfare Officer and navigator, then beating 6% odds to earn a slot in pilot training, flying F-16s in the Aggressor program, commanding a fighter squadron, and ultimately rising to Mobilization Assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations at the Pentagon.  In this episode, we cover it all. Trapper talks about growing up in a military family, knowing since age three that he wanted to fly fast jets, and what it actually took to make that happen — including working his way through B-52 EWO school, flying with Vietnam veterans who defined squadron culture through "fear, ridicule and sarcasm," and earning a pilot training slot when almost nobody believed it was coming.

I did my post-doctoral work in Zurich as an International Diplomat and Jungian Analyst. After reading Carl Jung's book–The Symbolic Life–I quickly realized the vital importance of dreams in helping people discover their inborn talents. I continue to work with clients, which uses my best talents, while I devote an increasing amount of time writing. My favorite life lesson from my very supportive parents: 'Lean into the thing you are trying to resist. Always lean in.'"

Dive into the bloody, baffling history of human conflict with Lionel on this episode of The Other Side of Midnight. From the unfathomable casualty counts of the World Wars and Antietam to the gritty, technological absurdities of Vietnam, this episode asks a glaring question: if we're so "civilized," why has there never been a time on Earth without war? Lionel goes head-to-head with callers to bust long-held historical myths, exploring how esteemed military giants like Eisenhower and MacArthur actually opposed dropping the atomic bomb. Buckle up for a hard-hitting, cynical look at how oil, greed, and "regime change" keep the racket of war spinning, because as it turns out, history would be a wonderful thing if only it were true.

20 Meter. Mehr sind es nicht. Trotzdem denkt man: Wie soll das gehen? Ein Strom aus Mofas, Autos, Menschen – ohne Lücke. Und dann geht man einfach los. Langsam, ohne stehen zu bleiben. Und plötzlich funktioniert dieses liebenswerte ‘Chaos'. Hanoi ist laut, voll, intensiv und voller Momente, die bleiben. Sei es die bewegte Geschichte Vietnams, die spannenden Menschen, die legendären Foto-Spots… Jochen liebt diesen Ort schon länger, und unsere ‘Chefin' Camilla war gerade erst dort. Zusammen merken wir schnell, wie ähnlich sich unsere ersten Eindrücke anfühlen – dieses Überfordertsein, dieses Staunen, diese Neugier - und dieses Essen! Die vielleicht weltbeste Suppe auf einem kleinen Plastikhocker am Straßenrand, zahlreiche andere preisverdächtige Gerichte in völlig entspannten Restaurants oder auf der Straße. Frisch gebrautes Bier und ein Kaffee, der mehr Dessert als Getränk ist. Trinken kann man ihn übrigens auf einem historischen Balkon über einer lebhaften Kreuzung. Und irgendwann merkt man: Hanoi ist nicht zu viel oder chaotisch. Es ist einfach nur anders - und eine der spannendsten Städte in Asien.—

« Fin de campagne, le regard est désormais tourné vers les électeurs », titre la Nouvelle Tribune. « Ce vendredi à minuit », ajoute le quotidien béninois, « le silence succédera au tumulte. Après deux semaines d'une intensité rare, la campagne électorale pour le premier tour de la présidentielle prend fin officiellement ». L'enjeu du scrutin réside notamment dans « le taux de participation », qui sera « scruté de près par les observateurs nationaux et internationaux », ajoute la Nouvelle Tribune. La Nation, de son côté, a suivi Romuald Wadagni, le candidat de la mouvance présidentielle, dans le Mono, où, nous dit le journal, « il a bénéficié d'un accueil triomphal, marqué par des bains de foule impressionnants ». « Une mobilisation qui, nous dit-on, témoigne de l'adhésion populaire autour de celui que ses partisans présentent comme le champion du développement et de la continuité ».   Quel est l'état des forces en présence ? « Un seul candidat face au favori du pouvoir », remarque Africanews. « Actuel ministre des Finances et successeur désigné du président Patrice Talon, Romuald Wadagni apparaît comme le grand favori face à un unique adversaire, Paul Hounkpè, ancien ministre et figure modérée de l'opposition ». « Pour de nombreux observateurs, précise Africanews, la compétition s'annonce déséquilibrée. En cause, les réformes du système partisan engagées ces dernières années, qui ont renforcé les partis proches du pouvoir ». Interrogé, le politologue Franck Kinninvo, estime « que le duel est déséquilibré, la majorité présidentielle disposant de moyens largement supérieurs à ceux de ses adversaires ». Exploitation des ressources La presse africaine nous parle également de la politique de Donald Trump vue du continent africain. C'est tout d'abord Maliweb, selon qui « Trump cajole les autorités militaires du Sahel pour faire avancer les intérêts américains ». « Après avoir longtemps tenu à l'écart les dirigeants militaires du Sahel, ajoute le média en ligne, les États-Unis, sous la présidence de Donald Trump, optent désormais pour une politique d'engagement, priorisant la sécurité et l'exploitation des ressources naturelles sur la promotion de la démocratie ». Maliweb s'est particulièrement intéressé à la récente tournée au Sahel de Nick Checker, responsable Afrique au département d'État, selon lequel « les États-Unis doivent composer avec le monde tel qu'il est ». Dans les faits, ils doivent faire face à la concurrence de la Chine et de la Russie. « Ce que j'ai essayé de faire lors de mes rencontres avec ces gouvernements », explique Nick Checker, « c'est d'apporter une sorte de correction radicale à cette approche moralisatrice et belliciste de l'administration Biden qui a engendré un énorme déficit de confiance ». Concrètement, ajoute Maliweb, « la coopération économique avec Washington, se traduira par le renforcement de la présence des entreprises américaines, au Niger par exemple, avec des entreprises telles que Global Atomic, entreprise d'exploitation d'uranium canadienne avec un financement américain ». « Déstabilisation » Au Sénégal, le Premier ministre Ousmane Sonko n'a pas mâché ses mots, au sujet du président américain, hier, lors d'une conférence de presse : « Trump n'est pas un homme de paix, mais de déstabilisation du monde ». Déclaration du Premier ministre sénégalais, reprise par Dakaractu. Ousmane Sonko estime ainsi que « les tentatives d'imposer des modèles politiques à l'extérieur ont systématiquement échoué ». Il cite plusieurs exemples : le Vietnam, l'Irak, ou encore l'Afghanistan. Quant à la situation actuelle au Moyen-Orient, le Premier ministre sénégalais « remet en cause l'efficacité des États-Unis ». « Réduire les capacités logistiques de l'Iran ou l'obliger à renoncer à son programme nucléaire : aucun de ces objectifs, n'a été atteint », dit-il, ajoutant : « Enlever des présidents en fonction ou les exfiltrer pour les soumettre à la justice, ne relève pas de la démocratie. » 

In the 80's, Michael Wayne Ryan was a nobody, a high school dropout, who couldn't hold down a job. But to hear him tell it, he's one of the greatest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth. He's a Vietnam war vet (not really), where he lost two toes( that part's true). He's also been a hitman for the CIA(nope), and a mafia hitman as well(not a chance), all this before the age of 40. So it's no wonder this man thought he was “Michael” from the bible, the archangel reincarnate. All he needed now was a few people who shared his vision and hung on every word…yep, we're doing some cult shit.   Check out Patreon and our other shows!: Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com Special thanks to "Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio" for the intro music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de68pYYHbks&list=PLLEnbi5KRv6Z8CMUtLiA81-wQCLVUOKYs&index=13   Sources: https://www.oxygen.com/deadly-cults/crime-time/yahweh-nebraska-farmers-cults-slavery-torture-sodomy-murder Book: “Chambers of Horror” by John Marlowe

The Tunnel Rats were courageous soldiers who performed underground search and destroy missions during the Vietnam War. American and Australian troops uncovered the enemy's intricate network of tunnels while conducting larger operations. Tunnel rats were tasked with gathering intelligence within them, and killing or capturing their occupants--often in conditions of close combat. CW Bowman, Gerry Schooler and Art Tejeda spent days maneuvering through the tunnels clearing lethal booby-traps. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Vice Admiral Robert Harward joined Martha on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the historic 8 p.m. deadline set by President Trump for the Iranian regime. He detailed the country's pre-revolutionary prosperity and his belief that the current regime is at an unprecedented tipping point. Admiral Harward explained why this conflict is different from previous wars in Iraq or Vietnam due to Iran's highly educated population, their desire for Western-style liberties, and the immediate global threat posed by their nuclear and missile capabilities.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerry from Rebel's Dark Tales of Appalachia YouTube channel, as well as Chris from Sasquatch Recon, are here to share some amazing stories from not only the South Mountains here in North Carolina, but also from South Carolina.In this episode, we dive into a series of strange and unexplained encounters that stretch across generations and landscapes, from the rugged woods of the South Mountains to the dark swamps of South Carolina.Jerry opens the conversation with chilling accounts rooted in local history, focusing on stories passed down by old-timers that challenge the often-repeated belief that Sasquatch activity in the area only began gaining attention in the late 1970s. One of the most gripping stories comes from Jerry's late friend Smitty, who recalled a terrifying 1971 squirrel hunting trip in Cleveland County after returning home from Vietnam.What began as a routine day in the woods with his uncle turned into something far more unsettling when they spotted a massive, hair-covered creature and later found themselves confronted and chased out by an aggressive seven-foot “hairy booger” that screamed, bared its teeth, and made it clear they were no longer welcome there.Jerry also shares several more recent encounters that suggest whatever has been seen in those mountains may still be there. He recounts a 2018 experience involving Uncle Jeff and his nephew Jake, who heard heavy bipedal footsteps in the dark, followed by guttural vocalizations, violent tree shaking, and a brief but disturbing glimpse of a hairy chest and mouth.He then describes a 2022 roadside sighting reported by an elderly couple who claimed to see a creature with glowing red eyes, along with a string of rock-throwing incidents involving a deer hunter, night hikers, a Jeep, and a pair of creek walkers named Ray and Vera. These encounters are paired with eerie whoops, growling howls, and the kind of escalating behavior that leaves little doubt something unusual was happening in those woods.Chris then shifts the conversation into the swamps of South Carolina, where an expedition took a frightening turn after his wood knocks and yells were answered by an unbelievably loud scream from deep in the distance. The sheer power of the sound, combined with the isolation of the swamp, was enough to make the group retreat. It is a tense and atmospheric ending to an episode packed with terrifying firsthand stories, regional lore, and the kind of encounters that continue to fuel the mystery of what may still be hiding in the forests of the South.Rebel's Dark Tales YouTubeSasquatch Recon YouTube Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Bob Moriarty argues that the U.S. and Israel are facing a historic geopolitical decline. Moriarty claims that recent undisclosed military losses and a failing debt-based economic system are shifting global power toward resource-rich Eastern nations like Iran and China. He suggests that current Middle Eastern tensions are being used as a diversion from domestic scandals and strategic blunders, leading to potential regime changes and social collapse. The discussion highlights a transition away from the petrodollar, predicting that physical assets like gold and silver will become essential as Western empires fragment. Ultimately, Bob portrays the current era as a critical tipping point marked by leadership failures and the rise of new global powers.

As we learned with his White House comments supposedly celebrating Easter, Trump occasionally blurts out the truth. Ben riffs. Miles Kampf-Lassin talks about the war in Iran. The painful parallels to Vietnam and Iraq wars. And Trump's comments that we can't afford Medicare and day care and the war. Sorry, geezers and children. A few words about Ska.

President Donald Trump recently outlined the endgame for Iran. How does it end? There are three scenarios:

When photographers Ken Browar and Deborah Ory first began collaborating on what would become NYC Dance Project, they set out to create portraits that could honor the athleticism, artistry, and emotional force of dance. Their work has since become synonymous with a style of portraiture that is both elegant and explosive—capturing dancers in motion with a precision that reveals not only physical mastery, but also vulnerability, discipline, and grace. Over the years, their lens has been turned toward some of the world's most accomplished performers, translating movement into still images that pulse with life. That vision continues in their new book, Martha Graham Dance Company at 100, which celebrates one of the most influential institutions in modern dance. Through striking portraits and carefully sequenced images, the book honors the legacy of Martha Graham's groundbreaking choreography while foregrounding the contemporary artists who continue to embody and reinterpret that tradition. Rather than simply documenting performance, Browar and Ory create photographs that feel sculptural, theatrical, and deeply human—offering a tribute not only to dance, but to the enduring power of a company that helped redefine what modern movement could be.

There is a lot of propaganda on both sides of the AI argument. Plus, the Hate America crowd is running the Vietnam playbook at home because they need us to lose in Iran.

What does a lone sailor circling the globe have to do with the fall of empires, the Model T, and the rise of AI? Everything--because maintenance, the quiet act of keeping things going, turns out to be the hidden force behind success and failure in nearly every domain of human endeavor. EconTalk's Russ Roberts speaks with Stewart Brand --creator of the Whole Earth Catalog, founder of the Long Now Foundation, and one of the great connective thinkers of the last half-century--to explore why some people and civilizations thrive while others collapse. From the 1968 Golden Globe Race, where three sailors' radically different attitudes toward maintenance determined their fates, to the M-16's deadly design flaws in Vietnam, to the cultural reasons Israel excels at crisis response but struggles with prevention, Brand ranges across history, warfare, technology, and philosophy. Along the way, they discuss John Deere's war against its own farmers, the Model T as democratic revolution, and what AI might mean for human vigilance and connection. A wide-ranging, endlessly surprising conversation about the unglamorous work that holds everything together.

Bruce MacDonald is the CEO and CIO of the Virginia Commonwealth University Investment Management Company, which runs $2.5 billion for VCU's endowment and health system. Bruce joined the University in 2015 and shortly thereafter, had the opportunity to sell the portfolio and start fresh. Since being promoted to CIO in 2022, VCU has been a top decile performer with a team of just five investment professionals. Our conversation covers Bruce's unconventional path from a religion major at Wesleyan to fixed income investing at Putnam and endowment roles at Columbia and UVIMCO before arriving at VCU. We discuss the principles of VCU's approach, including building a portfolio around secular tailwinds like India, Vietnam, gold, and artificial intelligence while maintaining abundant liquidity to act countercyclically during market dislocations. We explore VCU's team-based underwriting process, lessons learned from mistakes, and personal influences that have shaped Bruce's investment philosophy.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:09] Todd Blanche Claims There Are Victims But No Perpetrators in the Epstein Files Trump's new AG pick told reporters he has no idea whether any men abused Epstein's victims — after his DOJ redacted perpetrator names while exposing victim names. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana publicly mocked the logic: victims with no perpetrators. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:07:32] Bondi's DOJ Dropped 23,000 Criminal Cases to Make Room for Immigration Enforcement The Trump DOJ declined to prosecute more cases in a single month than any month since at least 2004 — nearly double the previous record — while adding 32,000 new immigration cases. 74% of immigration detainees had no criminal record whatsoever. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:11:13] Judge Napolitano: Netanyahu Has Blackmail Material on Trump — Epstein Revelations Could Destroy Him Napolitano states Trump is under Netanyahu's thumb because Israeli-linked donors can document personal misconduct and will fund primary challengers if Trump abandons Israel — making the Epstein coverup directly connected to the Iran war's continuation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:21:12] Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Arguments: Trump's Solicitor General Was Unprepared and Missed Every Lifeline Gorsuch repeatedly tried to hand the solicitor general winning arguments about Native American citizenship and the original meaning of domicile — and the government's lawyer failed to grasp any of them, likely dooming Trump's one constitutionally correct policy position. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:53:20] Five Countries Now Mandating Work From Home Due to Trump's Fuel Crisis — QR Fuel Rationing Proposed Malaysia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines have implemented work-from-home mandates or four-day workweeks due to the energy crisis. The IEA has proposed QR-code-based fuel rationing — described as perfectly aligned with long-term digital control agendas. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:59:00] War-Driven Fuel Crisis Bigger Than 1973 OPEC Embargo — Cascading Into Food, Manufacturing, Plastics Analysts describe the Iran war energy disruption as the largest in modern history, surpassing OPEC and COVID shocks combined. Effects are cascading through agriculture, fertilizer, packaging, and transport — with full secondary impacts still months away. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:06:54] Small Businesses Crushed: Diesel Costs Have Doubled as a Share of Revenue Since War Began A Tampa moving company reports fuel costs jumped from 3-5% to 6-10% of revenue in weeks. The US Postal Service added fuel surcharges for the first time in history. Amazon added a 3.5% fuel surcharge. Airlines are adding baggage fees to hide the real price increase. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:11:01] Gold Is Now the Reserve Currency — Petro-Yuan Backed by Gold Is Taking Shape in Real Time Nassim Taleb and multiple analysts now state gold has replaced the dollar as the global reserve currency. China is hoarding gold with vaults in Riyadh and Hong Kong. The petro-yuan backed by gold is described as the direct consequence of Trump's weaponization of the dollar. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:13:18] Strait of Hormuz Commercial Traffic Down 95% — US Navy Sailing 500 Miles Away to Avoid Being Sunk Commercial shipping through the Strait has fallen by 95-97%, removing 15 million barrels per day from global supply. Singapore jet fuel is at $231 per barrel. The US Navy is sailing 500-800 miles away from the Gulf in evasive patterns to avoid being targeted. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:15:58] Iran War Costs US Taxpayers Over $11 Billion Per Week — Trump Wants to Raise Defense Budget 50% The Israeli war on Iran is costing over $11 billion per week. Trump has proposed raising the military budget from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion — a 50% increase — while telling Americans he has no time to address daycare, infrastructure, or domestic needs. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:41:06] Pope Calls Out Hegseth: You Are Turning Christianity Into a God of War The Pope publicly rebuked Hegseth over the weekend for his theology of war, stating he is offering a god of war rather than the God of the New Testament. Knight notes Hegseth's favorite Psalm verse about battle is about spiritual warfare, not military conquest. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:52:29] US Lost an F-15, A-10 Warthog, Two Helicopters, and a Stratotanker in a Single Friday On Friday alone the US Air Force lost an F-15E, an A-10C Warthog, two helicopters, and had a Stratotanker hit — while Trump and Hegseth were claiming air dominance. Iran unleashed eight waves of missile attacks on Israel in a single day over the weekend. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Savage says "war fever" is gripping U.S. leaders and warns the public has not been sold on attacks on Iran, fearing ground troops, body bags, and "Vietnam all over again." He warns that we now face a widening conflict that could become a world war. He urges Trump to "declare victory and end this" before it escalates. He then shares a powerful spiritual message as the Passover and Easter holidays converge.
