The Boomer Effect with Jerry and Rose

“The Boomer Effect” takes a look at generations that came before and after us in an effort to understand our differences and establish common ground. All durable and long-lasting civilizations have one thing in common; they respect the wisdom of their elders and do not mock it. Yes Boomers made mistakes- but we got a lot right as well. Part of getting it right is extending what we've learned to Generation Z, and Millennials. The great depression gave us a post World War II generation of adults determined to give their children everything that they didn't have. Maybe that was a mistake...

    Is Canada Turning Away From America? The Trade War No One’s Talking About

    For decades, Canada and the United States have been among the closest economic partners in the world. But that relationship may be quietly changing. Kenneth Rapoza, Industry Analyst and China Watcher at the Coalition for a Prosperous America says Canada has been strategically aligning itself with Europe and even China in ways that could reshape the future of North American trade. From new defense and economic partnerships with the European Union to a controversial trade pact with China,these moves raise serious questions about where Canada’s loyalties — and economic interests — now lie. As the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) heads toward a major review, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Could North America’s trade framework be rewritten? Could tariffs escalate? And what does this mean for American workers, supply chains, and global power dynamics? We break down the geopolitical chessboard and the growing tensions that could redefine the future of the continent. https://prosperousamerica.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenneth-rapoza-2578095/ Please Support this Podcast: www.omegaplanners.net www.jlsmithassociates.com https://patriotmobile.com/partners/rose

    Healthcare at Home: The Fight Over Who Decides Your Care

    America’s healthcare debate usually focuses on insurance premiums and drug prices, but one of the most critical — and vulnerable — parts of the system often goes overlooked: home care. In this episode, Julian Hagmann, Chief Operating Officer of Caring Professionals, Inc., joins the show to discuss thegrowing challenges facing home-based healthcare programs, including concerns about fraud, rising costs, and policy decisions that may favor institutional care over patient-directed solutions. Julian recently testified before the New York State Senate about the potential impact of a single fiscal intermediary mandate on the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) — a Medicaid-funded initiative thatallows individuals to choose and direct their own caregivers, often family members or trusted friends. The conversation explores how policy failures are affectingpatients and caregivers, why home care can be more humane and cost-effective than traditional institutional care, and what meaningful healthcare reform could look like if leaders prioritize patient-centered solutions. If we want to fix American healthcare, we may need to start where care matters most — at home.

    Clearing Space for What Matters

    What if the clutter in our homes is quietly crowding out our faith, our finances, and our purpose?In this episode, I’m joined by Joshua Becker, Wall Street Journal and USA Today #1 bestselling author and one of the leading voices in the modern simplicity movement. Joshua is the founder of Becoming Minimalist, a platform reaching over a million readers each month, and the author of five influential books including The More of Less, The Minimalist Home, and Clutterfree with Kids. His newest book, Uncluttered Faith, releases February 10.Together, we explore how adopting a minimalist mindset reshapes far more than our homes. Joshua shares how living with less has transformed the way he thinks about money, productivity, generosity, legacy, and spiritual discipline. We talk about stewardship in a distracted culture, why “more” rarely delivers what it promises, and how clearing physical clutter often reveals deeper emotional and spiritual burdens we didn’t realize we were carrying.If you’re feeling overwhelmed — physically, emotionally, or spiritually — this conversation offers a practical and faith-centered path forward, starting with one simple step.Whether you’re new to minimalism or simply longing for a life centered on what truly matters, this episode will challenge and encourage you to rethink what you’re holding onto — and why. His newest book, Uncluttered Faith, releases February 10th. You can preorder that book or purchase the others anywhere books are sold.https://www.becomingminimalist.com/ Please Support this Podcast: www.omegaplanners.net www.jlsmithassociates.com https://patriotmobile.com/partners/rose www.americansforprosperity.org www.theboomereffect.com https://wordmarketingservices.com/ Rose’s Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com

    Fighting the Affordability Crisis

    Jerry and Rose are joined by Emily Greene Brey, PA State Director for Americans for Prosperity. When finding a solution to the affordability crisis, the first step is to figure out what makes life less affordable. The next step is to eliminate it. That’s what the Trump administration is doing by reducing the hidden tax on Americans - regulations.  Let’s be honest - regulations are boring. They’re arcane provisos baked into legislation and buried in the FederalRegister. But they’re hugely expensive. Trump’s deregulation agenda of cutting 10 regulations for every new one is paying off for taxpayers. Thus far it’s saved an average of $600 per person - that’s $2,400 a year for a taxpaying family of four.   Now, Trump’s taking the biggest de-regulatory action in history by rolling-back the Obama administration’s outdated ‘Endangerment Findings.’ Ending these burdensome energy regulations will unleash the energy sector and make day-to-day life more affordable by continuing to lower energy costs.   Please Support this Podcast: www.omegaplanners.net www.jlsmithassociates.com https://patriotmobile.com/partners/rose www.americansforprosperity.org www.theboomereffect.com https://wordmarketingservices.com/ Rose’snMinistry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com

    Lost in Time: Vanishing Wisdom

    Are we preserving wisdom — or just accumulating fragileinformation? Only 1.6% of human history is recorded — and the rest may be lost forever. In this compelling conversation, author and technologist Jack R. Bialik joins us to explore the astonishing discoveries in his book Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge. Drawing from over ten years of meticulous research, Bialik reveals how ancient civilizations mastered technologies and systems we often assume areuniquely modern — from medical procedures and sanitation to electricity and information preservation. But this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a warning. As digital data becomes more fragile and cultural memoryincreasingly shallow, Bialik argues that knowledge without wisdom is easily lost — and that civilizations don’t always collapse from ignorance, but from forgetting what once made them resilient. This episode challenges listeners to rethink progress,preservation, and whether our modern world is truly advancing — or unknowingly repeating history’s mistakes. https://jrbialik.com    https://www.lostintime.world Please Support this Podcast: www.omegaplanners.net www.jlsmithassociates.com https://mypillow.com  PromoCode: ROSE https://patriotmobile.com/partners/rose www.americansforprosperity.org www.theboomereffect.com https://wordmarketingservices.com/ Rose’s Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com

    When Kindness Goes Viral

    It began with a lost wallet and a stranger whochose to do the right thing. On this episode, Kevin Smith shares theextraordinary story of how one small act of kindness on Good Friday sparked a national ripple effect — leading to viral news coverage, an unexpected partnership with the York County SPCA, and the birth of Kindness Week, a community-wide celebration of compassion and human connection. What makes this story so powerful isn’t fame or fortune — it’s the reminder that ordinary people, acting with integrity andgratitude, can inspire something far greater than themselves. This conversation explores the roots of kindness, the role of gratitude, the power of recognition, and why no act of goodness is ever wasted.

    What Zoomer Conservatives Really Think

    Who are Gen Z Republicans — really? That’s what Jerry and Rose asked Jesse Arm, VP External Affairs at ManhattanInstitute. We unpack the results of a Manhattan Institute focus group conducted with 20 Gen Z conservatives inNashville, revealing how America’s youngest Republican voters consume news, think about economics and immigration, wrestle with faith and family formation,and envision the country’s future. From TikTok and podcasts replacing traditional media, to complicated views on foreign policy, nationalism, andcultural decline, these findings challenge conventional wisdom about young conservatives. This conversation offers a rare, nuanced portrait of a generation often talked about — but rarely listened to. For a more detailed breakdown, check out Jesse Arm's X thread and his write-up in City Journal.

    Transition, Order & Justice: Trump’s Doctrine for Venezuela

    Venezuela did not simply fail — it was repurposed. In this episode, political commentator and author Judd Dunning breaks down how Venezuela evolved from authoritarian governance into a fully integrated narco-state,where political power, criminal finance, and coercive force merged to preserve regime survival. We examine the deliberate dismantling of institutions under Hugo Chávez, the criminal consolidation under Nicolás Maduro, and why the United States formally charged Venezuela’s leadership with narco-terrorism — a move rarely taken against a sitting head of state. The conversation also explores Trump’s Venezuela doctrine: sanctions, asset freezes, institutional continuity, and transitional stability — not invasion — and why criminalized states export instability, migration pressure, and drug corridors across the hemisphere. This episode challenges the narratives, clarifies the law, and asks a critical question: What does accountability look like in a world where regimes operate like criminal networks?
