Welcome back interior designer Meg Braff to the podcast! Meg first joined the show in 2017 to discuss her first book, The Decorated Home, and now she returns to celebrate her second book, Gracious Interiors, published by Rizzoli. Growing up in Mississippi, Meg watched her mother and grandmother host beautiful, thoughtful parties, and she has carried that effortless Southern hospitality into her design firm. She sits down with Caroline, Taryn, and Liz to discuss how she optimizes floor plans for hosting, why every guest room needs wallpaper, and her favorite tricks for making formal antiques feel approachable. Design for Entertaining: Meg begins every project by analyzing the floor plan to maximize how a family lives and hosts. She looks for ways to provide multiple dining options, like a small setup for six indoors or a long table for thirty outdoors, and uses elements like pergolas and outdoor fireplaces to extend the entertaining season. The "Dress Rehearsal" Trick: A great host makes entertaining look effortless so guests never feel like an inconvenience. Meg recommends setting your table the day before to ensure you have the right counts for flatware and vases, and turning on your playlist an hour early. This allows you to be fully dressed and enjoying a cocktail right before the doorbell rings. Thoughtful Guest Rooms: Wallpapering a guest room is an easy way to make visitors feel expected and special. Elevate the stay by clearing out the medicine cabinet, stocking it with nice toiletries, and leaving out a water carafe, a small plate of fruit, and a note with the Wi-Fi password. Demystifying Wallpaper: Meg—who launched her own expansive fabric and wallpaper line 18 years ago—loves bold patterns, but notes that even a simple grasscloth adds necessary warmth, depth, and texture to a room lacking architectural details. She also encourages hanging artwork directly over wallpaper, provided the pieces relate to each other in scale. Mixing Antiques & Textures: To keep formal antiques from feeling stodgy or unapproachable, Meg mixes in mid-century pieces, like brass and glass coffee tables. She also uses woven materials, like French rattan chairs, bamboo altar tables, or jute rugs, to visually lighten a room and make it feel younger. Go-To Accessories: Meg frequently layers her rooms with vintage brass, nautilus shells, colored or clear glass hurricanes for romantic lighting, and robust collections of books to make spaces feel truly lived-in.

What is happening inside Mark Walter's financial empire - which until recently included the LA Lakers - has the potential to blow the lid off the entire private credit story - if not the whole debt cycle. A billion-dollar loan connected to Guggenheim Investments is trading at roughly 73 cents on the dollar, a price normally associated with serious distress. And that's only where this crazy story begins.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

August 20, 2026 He Says What Other Lawyers Won't w/ Matt Margolis (DT 471) Matt Margolis  w/ Margolis Law – DT 471 Matt Margolis is the founder of Margolis Law, based out of West Palm Beach, Florida. He built his entire practice on being the only lawyer in the room willing to tell clients what their contracts are actually doing to them, and one of the few legal voices in the industry making the case that most construction companies are one bad clause away from a problem they never saw coming. He breaks down why the standard construction contract has become a weapon that protects nobody, and why the contractors who treat legal as an afterthought aren't just taking on risk, they're handing it to everyone around them.

Leonard Tannenbaum's newest venture was supposed to be a sure thing. In 2020, after selling his previous company, Fifth Street, under a cloud of investor litigation and an SEC settlement, the veteran financier recast himself as a pioneering lender to underbanked cannabis firms. Weed was booming as Americans sat out the pandemic stressed and bored. But marijuana was illegal at the federal level, leaving most pot operations shut out of traditional banking.  Tannenbaum had the perfect Wall Street pitch: Become the dominant institutional lender to the fast-growing $19 billion industry by offering high yields to stock investors.  In early 2021, Tannenbaum and his third wife, Robyn, took their West Palm Beach, Florida–based AFC Gamma (later renamed Advanced Flower Capital) public as a mortgage REIT on the Nasdaq, raising $124 million. Within two years, thanks to successive stock offerings, AFC's equity value rose to nearly $400 million, as did its loan book.  “What amazed me was there was no institutional lender in the space, no reputable lender,” said Tannenbaum on the From Pot to Popular podcast in 2022, part of a media blitz coordinated with his entrance into the sector. “This was a chance to be number one in the industry.” By John Hyatt, Forbes Staff Learn more about your ad choices.

Keith McHenry, author, activist and co-founder of Food Not Bombs, shares great stories of how he and a few friends started the grassroots mutual aid network that eventually spread to over 1,000 cities in 65 countries worldwide.With very few resources, a small group of activists were able to feed the people around them while also building a movement against war profiteering. As he takes us through his years of organizing, Keith also provides tips and tricks you can take to your own community: How they set up soup lines to maximize impact. How they shared knowledge, even in an era before the internet. How they make decisions on consensus while maintaining focus on taking action. How they used the heavy handed tactics of the police to expand their own reach. And how they persevered through years of being targeted by strategic incapacitation.In fact, what most attests to the power of mutual aid and the model Food not Bombs uses is the amount of effort the state puts into criminalizing them. Keith details some of his interactions with state agents, from street cops stealing their food, to infiltrators and ‘honey traps' working to derail the movement.Like his new book, Soup Streets, this episode is a fascinating and resourceful collection of stories that takes you through decades of political change, while also demonstrating that nothing much has changed in terms of how the state responds to anti-capitalist models that gain traction.Hosted by: Jessa McLean and Santiago Helou QuinteroCalls to Action: Grab a Copy of Soup StreetsRelated Episodes: Solidarity and Supports (June 2022) Stories of finding solidarity and creating meaningful supportive spaces in rural Alberta and Saskatchewan Always Shoot Down Range (June 2024) The Canadian Socialist Rifle Association talks about their mutual aid work, their advocacy and creating socialist spaces.More Resources: Article: Mayor Says Food Not Bombs Must Obtain Permit (2025)Prism Reports - Activists in West Palm Beach charged for feeding houseless people (2023)Keith's BioGet more of our content on our SUBSTACK.All of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.

Our card this week is Daniel Traina, the 8 of Diamonds from Florida. 49-year-old Daniel Traina was hard to miss.  The Six-foot-four happy-go-lucky guy was always bopping around the West Palm Beach suburb of Lake Park. … well known to bartenders, store clerks, and neighbors.   So it was mind-boggling when, in May of 2021, Daniel walked out of a 7-Eleven next to Florida's busy Federal Highway … and vanished into the sticky, humid night… leaving behind NO clues.  And as investigators have tried to retrace Daniel's final movements and work their way through those closest to him, the case has taken on a distinctly South Florida feel. An ocean-side town, a 7-Eleven sign glowing in the dark, a cast of eccentric characters, conflicting stories, and a mystery that, five years later, still has everyone asking: how did someone who was so hard to miss vanish without a trace?  If you know anything that can help the Traina family get answers about what happened to Daniel, call the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office at (561) 688-4000. Or you can submit an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County through their website at crimestoppersPBC.com.   View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/daniel-traina Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.

On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, David and Stacy Whited sit down with investigative researcher and author Mel K to expose the unelected power structure she believes is operating behind the scenes in America. Mel connects the dots between intelligence agencies, government officials, technology companies, global financial institutions, election organizations, media corporations, and powerful private interests. She examines the 2020 election, Hunter Biden's laptop, Event 201, BlackRock's “Going Direct” strategy, January 6, Ukraine, government censorship, and the alleged suppression of critical intelligence. Mel argues that these events were not isolated, but part of a much larger system designed to control information, protect entrenched institutions, and undermine the will of the American people. This explosive conversation pulls back the curtain on America's shadow government and asks the question everyone should be asking: Who is really running the country?TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.comFollow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow Find Mel at ► https://themelkshow.com   Connect with her on her Secure Server at ► https://themelkshow.tv SUBSTACK: https://melkshow.substack.com/ BOOK: https://a.co/d/0a8d5MqM To watch more of Mel K with Flyover Conservatives, check out: https://flyover.live/media/series/wj58n7q/the-one-thing-with-mel-kMel K is a journalist, filmmaker, and podcaster known for her investigative work and critical analysis of global issues.

This Day in Legal History: The Acquittal of John Peter ZengerOn August 4, 1735, a New York jury acquitted printer John Peter Zenger of seditious libel—a verdict that planted one of the earliest seeds of freedom of the press in America. Zenger published the New York Weekly Journal, which had spent a year printing scathing criticism of the colonial governor, William Cosby. For that, Zenger was jailed for nearly ten months and put on trial for libeling the governor.Here's what made the case so important. Under the English common law of the time, truth was no defense to a charge of seditious libel—in fact, the more true the criticism, the more “dangerous” it was thought to be, because it was more likely to undermine the government's authority. The judge instructed the jury accordingly: they were only to decide whether Zenger had published the words, and the court would decide whether they were libelous. But Zenger's brilliant lawyer, Andrew Hamilton of Philadelphia, went over the judge's head and appealed directly to the jury, arguing that they had the power to weigh the truth of what Zenger printed—and that truthful criticism of government could not be a crime. The jury agreed, and acquitted.The Zenger verdict didn't immediately change the formal law—truth wouldn't be firmly established as a defense to libel for decades—but its influence was enormous. It established, in the American mind, two ideas that would prove foundational: that truth ought to be a defense to a charge of defaming the government, and that a jury of ordinary citizens could stand between the state and a critic it wanted to silence. Those principles run straight through the First Amendment and into modern press-freedom law, including New York Times v. Sullivan two centuries later. The significance of August 4, 1735 is that it's a origin point for the American conviction that the freedom to criticize those in power is not a privilege the government grants, but a liberty the people hold—an idea that, as today's stories show, is still very much contested.Todd Blanche's nomination to be attorney general has cleared its biggest obstacle: the Senate Judiciary Committee is set to advance him after he cut a deal with the Republican holdouts who had threatened to sink it. We've tracked this saga closely—the stalled vote, Senator Cornyn's refusal, and then Blanche's move over the weekend to formally rescind the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund.” The final piece came in a deal struck late Sunday with Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who had demanded written assurances about the settlement of Trump's lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns. With those assurances in hand, the committee's Republicans are now expected to line up behind him. It's worth noting the Democrats' objection, because it's a substantive legal point: they argue Blanche's rescission order doesn't actually prevent the administration from reviving the fund after he's confirmed, and they're calling for legislation to bar it permanently. In other words, an executive-branch promise can be undone by the same executive branch, which is exactly why they want a statute. The significance is that advice-and-consent worked as a real check—Blanche had to publicly dismantle a controversial initiative to win the votes—but it also exposed the limits of that check. A confirmation deal extracts a promise; it doesn't write a law. The nation's next top law-enforcement officer advances, having conceded the point, but with the durability of that concession still an open question.Blanche set to clear nomination hurdle after deal wins senators' vote | ReutersUS News (AP) · CNNA coalition of two dozen Democratic-led states has sued to block a new federal policy that would let immigration authorities get their hands on personal data about low-income families enrolled in a cash-assistance program. The policy would allow the Administration for Children and Families—which runs welfare programs—to share detailed personal information about benefit recipients with other federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, and it's set to take effect August 11. The states' legal theory is twofold. First, they argue the policy violates the Administrative Procedure Act—the law that requires federal agencies to follow proper procedures and not act arbitrarily—by ignoring existing data-sharing restrictions and slapping new conditions on federal funding. Second, they invoke the Constitution. And a separate suit filed in Brooklyn by civil-rights and privacy groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, adds a Privacy Act claim—the federal statute that limits how the government can use and share the personal data it collects. Here's why this matters beyond the courtroom. Programs like this cash-assistance program serve some of the most vulnerable families in the country, and the fear that applying for help could funnel your information to immigration enforcement produces a powerful chilling effect—people forgo food and cash aid they're legally entitled to. It's the same dynamic behind the “public charge” fights, and fittingly, today marks the anniversary of the 1882 immigration law that first tied benefits to immigration status. The significance is a collision between the machinery of the welfare state and the machinery of immigration enforcement, with data privacy law as the battleground—and courts once again asked whether the administration followed the rules before repurposing sensitive government data.States sue over Trump policy of sharing benefits data with immigration authorities | ReutersDetroit News (AP) · UPIAnd a striking piece of accountability journalism: a Reuters investigation has found that judges in 75 separate cases have ruled that the Trump administration violated First Amendment rights—this despite the president campaigning as a free-speech champion who vowed to end what he called years of “government censorship.” The 75 rulings span the full range of First Amendment protections: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press. According to the reporting, judges have repeatedly found that the administration chilled or suppressed the speech of citizens and groups who oppose its agenda—an unusually broad pattern of judicial pushback on constitutional grounds. A few caveats worth stating plainly, in fairness: many of these are trial-level rulings, some are preliminary, and the administration disputes them and is appealing in various cases, so not every one is a final word. But the sheer volume is the story. When dozens of federal judges, appointed by presidents of both parties, independently conclude that the same administration is infringing the First Amendment, that's a signal that's hard to wave away. The significance ties directly to today's Zenger anniversary. The whole American tradition of free expression rests on the idea that the government cannot punish or silence its critics—and this reporting suggests that principle is being tested, and defended by the courts, on an extraordinary scale. It's a reminder that the First Amendment is not self-enforcing; it lives or dies in the accumulation of individual rulings by judges willing to say no.Trump vowed to ‘bring free speech back.' Judges in 75 cases ruled that he has stifled it | ReutersCNN · Yahoo NewsAnd finally, in my column for Bloomberg Tax this week, I take on New York City's brand-new pied-à-terre tax—the city's first surcharge on high-value second homes—and my basic take is that it's good policy being undermined by a messy rollout. The trigger for the piece is a striking number: the city's initial roll flagged about 31,000 potentially liable properties, versus the roughly 10,000 officials had projected. That gap set off a backlash, and I wanted to separate the policy from the implementation.On the policy, I come down in favor. High-value second homes are actually a really sensible tax base, because they represent concentrated, largely immobile wealth. That's the key word—immobile. A wealthy person's labor income or investments can pick up and leave, but a condo can't reincorporate in Delaware or establish residency in West Palm Beach. It just sits there, and its value depends overwhelmingly on the city around it—the transit, the sanitation, the parks, the public safety, the cultural institutions. So a well-calibrated surcharge is really just asking people who hold significant, location-keyed wealth to return a share of the value the city itself creates and preserves. Across the OECD, the top wealth quintile holds roughly three-quarters of secondary-real-estate wealth, so this is a genuinely progressive base, and economists generally find recurring taxes on immovable property are among the least damaging to growth.Where I get critical is the data and the process. That 31,000-property list isn't a final bill—it's a preliminary screening pool, and many of those owners will be winnowed out. But the size of it exposes how hard it is for City Hall to tell a true second home from a rental, a family residence, or a property held in trust, using fragmented government records. Property records can identify an expensive apartment; they're much worse at revealing who's actually sleeping in it, and when. My core recommendation is transparency: every formal notice should include a plain-language reason code explaining exactly why a property was flagged and what records produced that conclusion, and the city should publish aggregate data on how many determinations are screened out, appealed, reversed, and upheld. The burden of the government's record gaps shouldn't fall on homeowners forced to rebut an unexplained conclusion. So my bottom line is that a second-home surcharge can be progressive, economically sound, and administratively workable—but only if the government is willing to show, clearly, whom it means to tax and how it got there. Make the first two years a genuinely transparent implementation period, and the policy earns its legitimacy before the real revenue arrives.New York City's Second-Home Tax Is Good Policy With a Data Issue | Bloomberg Tax This is a public episode.

Carolyn Margaret Andriano was one of the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring, who testified in the 2021 trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. According to accounts, she was recruited into Epstein's Palm Beach mansion around 2001 when she was about 14 years old, and later waived her anonymity in speaking publicly about her experiences. She described how abuse and trauma during her teenage years led to struggles with addiction.She died on May 23, 2023, in a hotel room in West Palm Beach, Florida, at age 36. The medical examiner ruled her death an accidental overdose, citing a combination of fentanyl, methadone, and alprazolam.  Her mother has raised questions about the official findings, disputing that Carolyn was continuing to struggle with substance abuse at the time, and has called for greater transparencyto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Roza Gilles was an 18-year-old aspiring model from Uzbekistan when she came to the United States in 2009 and became financially indebted to MC2 Model Management for her visa and housing. She was offered weekend administrative work at Jeffrey Epstein's Florida Science Foundation office in West Palm Beach while Epstein was supposedly serving his jail sentence under an extraordinarily permissive work-release arrangement. Gilles said that during one of her first encounters with Epstein, he ordered her to undress, and when she froze, another woman removed her blouse and bra. She later realized that the device on Epstein's ankle was a monitoring bracelet and that the man abusing her was technically still an inmate.Gilles's account offers a disturbing illustration of how Epstein's 2008 plea agreement and work-release privileges allowed him to continue operating in an environment filled with employees, vulnerable young women and even uniformed law-enforcement officers. She recalled seeing a sheriff at Epstein's Palm Beach residence and concluding that Epstein was so protected that nothing she did could stop him. After eventually leaving his orbit, moving to New York and becoming financially independent, Gilles married, settled in the Midwest and became a fitness trainer. She is now speaking publicly in the hope that greater transparency will expose the people and institutions that enabled Epstein and finally deliver meaningful accountability for survivors.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Exclusive: Roza Gilles was an 18-year-old model when Jeffrey Epstein first abused her — while he was serving jail time | CNN Politics

It's Monday, July 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian 13-year-old girl still captive to Muslim man On July 7, the European Parliament condemned Pakistan for its violation of human rights, citing a 13-year-old Christian Pakistani girl who is still fighting for her freedom from the 30-year-old Muslim man who abducted her, reports International Christian Concern. Maria Shahbaz was kidnapped in July 2025 by Shehryar Ahmad, who forced her to convert to Islam and married her against her will. Alliance Defending Freedom came alongside her parents in their fight to regain custody of their child in Pakistan's Federal Constitutional Court in February. Pakistani law states that a minor cannot legally consent to religious conversion or marriage, but shockingly the court ruled in favor of Ahmad when he presented a forged marriage certificate.  In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Shahbaz's parents are not giving up. They are still appealing their daughter's case in court, hoping that justice will swiftly come.  According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. Send a polite, 3-sentence letter to Rizwan Sheikh, the Pakistan Ambassador to America, asking that he intervene.  The address is 3517 International Court NW, Washington, DC 20008. Two U.S. soldiers killed in Iranian attack on military base Two American soldiers were killed on July 17th in an Iranian attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan, reports the Western Journal. In a post on X, U.S. Central Command added, “Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged.” Plus, one soldier is missing. Iran's attacks came after the U.S. launched its seventh consecutive night of air strikes on Iran. Iran makes chilling death threats against President Trump Iranian state media has published a shocking video entitled “Where to kill Trump?”, claiming to know the U.S. leader's motorcade route and the vulnerabilities within his security, reports The Express. The highly concerning footage claimed to reveal “information on the whereabouts of the terrorist president of America” while promising that “access to Trump is possible in these places.” It also alleges to give details about the motorcade that protects the U.S. president, which typically consists of 40 to 50 vehicles. It comes after repeated death threats have been made by Iran following the U.S. assassination of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.  President Trump's primetime speech on election integrity Last Thursday night, President Donald Trump addressed election security in a nationwide primetime address from the White House, pointing to ways American political leftists and China have compromised our elections, reports The Epoch Times. TRUMP: “You can't have a great country without free and fair elections. All we want is honesty in our elections. Great damage has been done to our country. Our elections were left vulnerable to being rigged and stolen, and the trust of the American people was lost. This cannot be allowed to continue. “Every American -- whether you're a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise -- should be able to agree that we deserve the most secure, honest, and fair election system anywhere in the world.” President Trump explained that China started compromising our elections in 2020. TRUMP: “Over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote. “This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.” And finally, President Trump vowed action to hold people accountable. TRUMP: “The documents we will release, starting tonight, have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, a great group of people, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity. “You can see these documents for yourself at whitehouse.gov. That's whitehouse.gov. Go check it out. Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weaken confidence in election, but to earn that confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very, very quickly, and that's what we're doing.” Homeland Security Secretary vows to prosecute illegal voters In related news, during a Friday press briefing, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin promised to hunt down and prosecute illegal voters in the U.S., noting that 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in just four states, reports The Christian Post. Speaking in the wake of President Donald Trump's 25-minute primetime address about election security on July 16th, Mullin outlined an aggressive plan to tighten voter roll integrity, harden election infrastructure, and hold election officials accountable for alleged failures. Senator Marsha Blackburn: No more birth tourism Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has reintroduced legislation aimed at ending so-called “birth tourism” following the Supreme Court's recent 6-3 ruling in Trump v. Barbara. It held that children born in the United States to illegal aliens and foreign tourists remain entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, reports Big League Politics. She said, “Congress must step up to the plate to protect the integrity of American citizenship.” The Ban Birth Tourism Act is co-sponsored by GOP Senators Ted Budd of North Carolina, John Cornyn of Texas, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Sheehy of Montana, Jim Banks of Indiana, and Rick Scott of Florida. The legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly prohibit foreign nationals from obtaining temporary visas for the purpose of giving birth in the United States. It would also classify birth tourism as a deportable offense, allowing immigration authorities to remove foreign nationals who enter the country for that purpose. Call your two senators anytime -- 24 hours a day 7 days a week -- speaking to a live operator to leave a voicemail at 202-224-3121 and ask them to support the Ban Birth Tourism Act. That's 202-224-3121. Samaritan's Purse deployed disaster relief unit for Texas flood victims On July 17th, churches in the Texas Hill Country opened their doors as flood displacement shelters, taking in families whose homes and recreational vehicles had been swept away by rapidly rising rivers that killed at least two people, reports The Christian Post. Recently more than 30 inches of rain fell over several days, causing the Leona River and Guadalupe River to overflow. Floodwaters surged through the streets, destroying homes, and stranding people and vehicles. The Christian relief group Samaritan's Purse said it was deploying a disaster relief unit to the Hill Country, with staff and volunteer teams set to work in Uvalde County. The group said it was basing operations out of Uvalde Methodist Church, with volunteers beginning on Sunday to help residents remove waterlogged belongings and clear mud from their homes. Consider making a donation to Samaritan's Purse to help the Texas victims of the flood through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1 John 3:17 asks, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need, but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Worldview listeners weigh in from New York, Texas and Arkansas Deb Staley in Unadilla Forks, New York wrote me and said, “The Worldview never disappoints. It's uplifting, informative, and to the point. The Bible verses are so very helpful. And I love the fact that there are limited news stories. If there were more, I'd begin to tune out.

The Story of New Day: Early-Mid 90s Palm Beach Hardcore PunkIn this episode, we're joined by Michael Grover and Scott Hughes for a deep dive into the history of New Day, a band that emerged from South Florida's punk and hardcore scene during the mid-1990s.Michael (vocals) and Scott (guitar) reflect on the band's origins in Lantana and West Palm Beach following the breakup of their previous band, Switch, discussing early rehearsals, developing their sound, and becoming part of a vibrant underground music scene.The conversation explores the local bands, venues, and community that shaped New Day's identity, along with the DIY approach that defined their work—from recording demos and self-releasing music to touring across the U.S. despite constant logistical challenges.They also share stories from their releases, including New Day '94, Spring Cleaning, and the Hallway EP, as well as experiences on the road that included breakdowns, canceled shows, warehouse performances, and unexpected radio support outside of Florida.Throughout the conversation, Michael and Scott reflect on their influences, the friendships and creative energy that fueled the band, and life after New Day. Although Chris (bass) and Dominic (drums) were unable to participate, their contributions remain an important part of the band's story.

Brian Szytel recaps a down, rotation-driven market day from West Palm Beach, with the Dow near flat, the S&P 500 slightly lower, and the Nasdaq weaker amid a sharp semiconductor sell-off (down 5–10%) even as some software and communication services names rose. He cites strong Korean AI chip export growth (70% year over year) but suggests investors may be pricing semis for perpetually outsized growth and reacting to signs of a peak growth rate. Inflation commentary helped rates ease slightly and the yield curve steepened marginally, though the 10-year Treasury ended around 4.48%. Economic data included ADP private payrolls at 98K (below expectations), ISM manufacturing at 53.3 (expansion), and weak construction spending, reflecting housing softness tied to higher rates. He previews a holiday-shortened week and Thursday's nonfarm payrolls report. 00:00 Market Open Recap 00:24 Semis Selloff Explained 00:49 Korea Chip Demand Peak 01:34 Rates and Fed Talk 01:53 Index Closes and Yields 02:08 Economic Data Rundown 02:53 Housing Softness 03:31 Rotation and Small Caps 03:48 Jobs Report Preview 04:28 Wrap Up and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

In this episode of the WGI Unleashed Podcast, hosts Dan and Katie head down to our West Palm Beach corporate headquarters to sit down with Rachel Starck, Environmental Scientist! Rachel is a Florida native who grew up in Orlando with a childhood reputation for attracting wildlife, and a mother who gave her exactly the right career advice at exactly the right time. Two and a half years into her first job out of college, she's doing the work she set out to do... and loving every second of it. From Orlando to the Atlantic Coast Rachel grew up in Orlando, where both of her parents built long careers at Walt Disney World, her father in Food and Beverage and her mother in Merchandising and Park Operations. It was a fun place to grow up, but Rachel always had one thing on her mind: the beach. When it came time to choose a college, she toured nearly every university across Florida before landing on Florida Atlantic University, which checked both boxes: a smaller campus and easy access to the coast. Her initial studies focused on biology, but she soon made the switch to geoscience in her sophomore year, and the move turned out to be a natural fit. Geoscience at FAU covered earth science, climate, and environmental systems, exactly the direction she was already headed. Outside of the classroom, Rachel stayed busy. She served as president of SEEDS (Strategies for Ecology, Education, Diversity, and Stewardship), participated in student government, and spent a significant amount of her undergraduate years conducting paid research on gopher tortoises with FAU faculty.... As it turns out, this research would come in more useful than she ever expected! Finding Her Way to WGI Midway through her senior year, with COVID-era online classes freeing up her schedule, Rachel began sourcing and applying for jobs to see what may stick. Through these efforts, a director on WGI's environmental team soon found her profile and reached out. Upon learning that Rachel was already available and working remotely, he invited her to start as an intern in February rather than wait for summer. She graduated from FAU, transitioned to full-time, and the rest is history as she now closes in on two and a half years with WGI. The Work: Puzzles, Permits, and Smoothies Environmental science at WGI covers more ground than most people expect. Rachel's day-to-day spans protected species surveys (including gopher tortoises and burrowing owls), wetland and mangrove permitting for roadway projects, tree surveys ahead of development, and contamination work on sites being redeveloped from prior agricultural or commercial use. For example, when a former golf course or farm is being converted to residential use, Rachel's team assesses soil and groundwater for pesticide contamination, develops a remediation approach, and works to bring the site up to residential standards. She describes it as a puzzle, figuring out what's wrong with a site and then solving it. But that's not all. Beyond her day-to-day, Rachel is also a registered FWC Gopher Tortoise Agent, or as Dan put it on the episode, Agent Starck. Life Outside the Office Beyond the office, Rachel is most comfortable outdoors. She paddleboards, hikes, swims, and logs long walks regularly, including a recent appearance at WGI's West Palm Beach Corporate Run 5K. At home, she shares her space with Kiwi, a calico cat who has zero interest in being taken on walks. In reflecting on what she would do if she weren't an environmental scientist, Rachel shares that she would probably be captaining a sailboat somewhere across an ocean. And while she doesn't sail just yet, plans are certainly in motion. Tune In Rachel's story is a great reminder that sometimes the clearest path is the one you find early. She set out to work in environmental science, found a team that trusted her to run with projects independently, and landed somewhere she's genuinely glad to be, but don't take our word for it....

Brad Beauchamp, a Canadian mortgage broker based between Vaughan and West Palm Beach, joins Glen Sutherland to explain how Canadians can finance U.S. real estate investments using DSCR loans and cross-border lending strategies. Brad shares his own immigration journey from obtaining an L1 executive visa to eventually becoming a U.S. citizen, before diving into the opportunities available for Canadian investors south of the border. The conversation highlights how DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans allow investors to qualify based primarily on a property's cash flow instead of personal income or employment verification, making it easier for Canadians to scale portfolios in markets like Florida, Ohio, Texas, and Alabama. Brad explains that while Canadians can secure financing without U.S. credit history, investors with U.S. tax IDs, entities, residency ties, or established FICO scores can often access lower rates and better leverage. The episode also focuses heavily on structuring and protecting investments properly when buying U.S. real estate. Brad and Glen discuss the importance of setting up U.S. LLCs, understanding cross-border taxation, using professional advisors, and avoiding common mistakes such as holding properties personally instead of through entities. They explain hidden costs Canadians often overlook — including underwriting fees, loan origination fees, title fees, prepayment penalties, and refinancing costs — while emphasizing that proper planning can save investors significant money long term. The discussion covers partnerships with Americans, refinancing strategies, seasoning periods, and how the larger U.S. market creates more financing flexibility and opportunity than Canada. Overall, the interview serves as a practical guide for Canadians who want to leverage U.S. financing, build cash-flowing portfolios, and avoid costly structural and lending mistakes.

From The Bahnsen Group's West Palm Beach office on June 10, Brian Szytel recaps a broad market sell-off driven by a continued rotation out of overvalued tech/semiconductors and later by news the U.S. would resume strikes on Iran, after an initially encouraging CPI report helped markets rebound mid-morning. The Dow fell 953 points (1.87%) to session lows, with the S&P 500 down 1.6% and Nasdaq down 2%. Headline CPI for May was 0.5% (4.2% year over year), while core CPI was cooler at 0.2% (2.9% year over year), which he views as encouraging amid strong growth and employment. He notes oil rose but markets seem more desensitized as supply chains adapt. He also answers that splitting between a dividend growth portfolio and the S&P 500 is not a hedge due to high correlation; true hedging comes from asset allocation across stocks, bonds, alternatives, real assets, and cash. 00:00 Market Selloff Recap 01:26 CPI Surprise and Fed Focus 03:13 Middle East Risks and Oil 03:50 Oil Market Adapts 04:29 Ask TBG Portfolio Hedging 05:08 Real Hedging Asset Allocation 06:00 Wrap Up and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Brian Szytel reports from West Palm Beach on a volatile market stretch driven by stronger-than-expected jobs data, renewed tech weakness, and Middle East uncertainty. The Dow rose 86 points while the S&P 500 fell 0.25% and the Nasdaq dropped 1%, as equal-weight S&P outperformed cap-weighted by over 100 bps and the 10-year yield fell to 4.52%. He notes the tech sector's nine-week 47% rally is seeing froth and sharp daily swings, alongside widening market breadth and sector rotation. Szytel urges investors to focus on fundamentals rather than popularity and dismisses warnings of simultaneous “cycle” peaks as largely unknowable and hindsight-driven. Economic updates include slightly softer NFIB optimism (still near historical average), a narrower April trade deficit to $55B, and existing home sales up 3.2% to about 4.2M. 00:00 Market Rollercoaster Recap 01:18 Tech Selloff And Rotation 02:16 Stick With Fundamentals 03:16 Ray Dalio Cycle Warnings 04:45 Quick Economic Calendar 05:39 Wrap Up And Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
