Those in our government and corporate media would have you believe Tariffs are an act of war and recipe to destroy the American economy and way of life. They pretend that tariffs were not used before or that they were not what fueled our country for 150 years before we created income taxes. They're intentionally leading you astray. Under President Trump's approach we've already seen success with the best economy in the month of May in the last 30 years. Trillions of dollars of foreign country investment in the US.

ent actions and their impact on the economy. Individuals look at the reconciliation act called the One Big Beautiful Bill act (OBBB) and that it cuts potentially $4.5T in revenue over the next 5 years and they determine that means our debt will go up by that amount. President Trump is using leadership tools to move our economy in the opposite direction. Specifically he's spurring significantly greater production domestically while simultaneously bringing in revenue from outside the country, specifically massive investment and tariffs. Tariffs are how we funded our country to be #1 in the world for its first 100 years and it will work again. He brought in $10T of investment commitments in one foreign trip this month. Give Trump some time to show the benefits of 'The Art of the Deal' and you will see the USA flourish as it did in the 19th century.

Baby Boomers will retain the largest voting block through the 2026 midterms and while they are moving conservative, it is not happening quickly enough because of the hold that legacy media continues to hold on this cohort. I need agency-minded followers out there to adopt a boomer, have conversations with them, take them to lunch, expose them to what alternative media has been reporting for 5+ years - President Trump is creating huge wins every day but that message is not getting to the Baby Boomers via CNN or even Fox.  Pitch in, get vocal with these seniors and let's MAGA!   Highlights * Retirement and scarcity mindset. * Value of not retiring too early. * Conservative shift among younger generations. * Gen X’ role and conservatism. * Global political influence and actions. * Impact of international tariffs. * National media’s impact on baby boomers. * Generational conservatism and politics. * Importance of engaging baby boomers politically. * Trump’s global vision for freedom.   Links and Resources from this Episode * Connect with Gary Pinkerton * https://www.paradigmlife.net/ [https://www.paradigmlife.net/]  * gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net [gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net] * https://garypinkerton.com/ [https://garypinkerton.com/]  * https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360 [https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360]    Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review by clicking here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garys-gulch/id1531010029]   Make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes. * Subscribe with Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garys-gulch/id1531010029] * Follow on Audible [https://www.audible.com/pd/Garys-Gulch-Podcast/B08JJPJDW3] * Subscribe with Listen Notes [https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/garys-gulch-gary-pinkerton-UZzgvl9BRno/] * Subscribe with RSS [https://garywpinkerton.libsyn.com/]

Good teams get it right about half the time. Great teams work hard, build skill, and get it right most of the time. Exceptional teams excel because they critically review even their best performances to see what wasn't perfect that they could learn from and do better on the next time. It is a process that some call Plan-Do-Review and it was essential to high performance in the nuclear submarine force and for every team I've been on since. Highlights * Networking with clients in person. * Aspire for More Mastermind Group. * Introduction to captive insurance. * Switch to exclusively using Delta Airlines. * The role of faith in aligning life choices. * Concept of continuous improvement. * U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Force’s approach. * High stakes in executive officer training. * Importance of critical evaluation. * Submarine valve error illustration.   Links and Resources from this Episode * https://www.blueprintprocess.com/tammi-brannan [https://www.blueprintprocess.com/tammi-brannan] * Connect with Gary Pinkerton * https://www.paradigmlife.net/ [https://www.paradigmlife.net/] * gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net [gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net] * https://garypinkerton.com/ [https://garypinkerton.com/] * https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360 [https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360]   Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review by clicking here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garys-gulch/id1531010029] Make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes. * Subscribe with Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garys-gulch/id1531010029] * Follow on Audible [https://www.audible.com/podcast/Garys-Gulch/B08JJPJDW3] * Subscribe with Listen Notes [https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/garys-gulch-gary-pinkerton-UZzgvl9BRno/] * Subscribe with RSS [https://garywpinkerton.libsyn.com/]
