Josh Graham on Politics, Power & What History Shows Is Coming Next

Are 50-year mortgages and portable home loans the solution to America’s housing crisis — or the fuel for an economic disaster? In this episode of Tales of Abundance, Dr. John Oberg, Randy Lorensen, and Anthony Marino break down the controversial proposals now being discussed at the highest levels: 50-year mortgages, 15-year car loans, portable mortgages, and removing credit score requirements. And that’s just the first half.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Josh Graham — former CIA case officer, high school history teacher, and Congressional candidate — we explore how historical cycles, political polarization, failing monetary systems, and generational shifts are shaping America’s future. From ancient Israel to the Roman Republic to the Fourth Turning, Josh offers a historian’s perspective on power, corruption, debt, and why civilizations rise and collapse.

He also explains why today’s economic pressures feel heavier than ever — and how broken money, bad incentives, and mounting debt may be steering us toward a major societal reset.

This is a powerful, thought-provoking episode about housing, economics, politics, hope, history, and the next generation — and why the choices we make now will shape America for decades to come.
