America has crossed a line that once seemed almost impossible. $40 trillion in national debt. But the number itself isn't the only problem. The bigger question is what happens next—to interest rates, Treasury yields, inflation, mortgages, the dollar, financial markets, and ultimately your retirement. On this episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez Jr. breaks down America's growing debt burden and explains why this isn't simply a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. Administrations change. Congress changes. Federal Reserve leadership changes. Yet one trend has continued: The debt keeps growing. Carlos examines the rising cost of servicing that debt, pressure in the bond market, Treasury yields, the yield curve, and why investors may demand higher returns to continue financing America's borrowing. He also connects those pressures to everyday Americans through mortgages, credit cards, business loans, inflation, housing affordability, and retirement portfolios. For retirees, the conversation becomes even more important. A 35-year-old investor may have decades to recover from market volatility. Someone who's 60, 65, or 70 and withdrawing money every month doesn't have the same luxury. Market losses combined with withdrawals and rising living expenses can create an entirely different retirement equation. That's why Carlos returns to the Color of Money—Red Money, Yellow Money, and Green Money—and asks listeners to consider how much of their retirement actually has principal protection and how much depends on markets continuing to cooperate. And beneath all the numbers is a biblical warning that's thousands of years old: “The borrower is slave to the lender.” America may have $40 trillion worth of reasons to start paying attention.

TSA PSA: DON’T SUBMIT—Know Your Rights on Biometrics, Scanners & Water
Before your next flight, give me 13 minutes. In this episode, I share a practical TSA PSA based on what I personally experienced at the checkpoint—and the lawful options every traveler should understand. You can calmly decline TSA’s optional facial-comparison photo by saying, “No thank you,” and request standard identity verification. If you cannot use the body scanner because of a genuine medical limitation—or you choose to opt out—tell the officer and request alternative screening. When it comes to water, completely frozen liquids may pass through screening while solid. Genuinely medically necessary liquids can exceed the usual 3.4-ounce limit when declared and screened. In this episode, you’ll see how TSA inspected my one-gallon jug and four additional 24-ounce bottles before allowing me through—so I didn’t have to spend $10 on airport water. Know the published rules. Remain calm. Never make a false medical claim—but never be afraid to exercise the options that honestly apply to you. In my opinion, this system has become less about security and more about intimidation, conditioning, and getting people to submit. I will not submit to any man. I submit only to Yahweh, my Lord and Savior. To close the episode, I explain why I believe Candace Owens and Alex Jones have acted as turncoats—and I discuss the evidence behind my position. Finally, you cannot preach Yahweh’s Word while neglecting the temple He gave you. I share the products central to my personal take-back-your-temple routine: our Pain and Energy Chips, which we give away for free; Masterpiece; and IGF-1 derived from deer antler velvet—the building block for life. These are my personal views and experiences, not legal or medical advice.

Accuracy note: TSA says facial-comparison photos are optional; declining a body scanner generally means alternative screening such as a pat-down—not a guaranteed metal-detector-and-hand-swab procedure. Frozen liquids must be completely solid, and larger liquids must be genuinely medically necessary and declared for screening.
