Podcasts about 500b

Can AI stocks beat Big Tech? In this episode, I discuss OpenAI and its decision to expand a secondary share sale that lets insiders sell about $10.3 billion of stock at roughly a $500 billion valuation. Although skeptical at first, the calculations reveal there is a path for OpenAI to deliver outsized returns.I cover:(0:00) The $500B question (01:11) Why the Nasdaq Index is the benchmark (03:35) Inside the OpenAI-Microsoft deal (05:50) The bull case: OpenAI's trillion-dollar path (09:33) The AI market explosion (12:39) The bear case: Competition and constraints (17:13) Exploring the models of tomorrow (20:58) The disruption premium (23:21) Where will OpenAI's revenue come from? (29:14) The final verdict

Wohoo, hey ya'll, Alex here,I'm back from the desert (pic at the end) and what a great feeling it is to be back in the studio to talk about everything that happened in AI! It's been a pretty full week (or two) in AI, with Coding agent space heating up, Grok entering the ring and taking over free tokens, Codex 10xing usage and Anthropic... well, we'll get to Anthropic. Today on the show we had Roger and Bhavesh from Nous Research cover the awesome Hermes 4 release and the new PokerBots benchmark, then we had a returning favorite, Kwindla Hultman Kramer, to talk about the GA of RealTime voice from OpenAI. Plus we got some massive funding news, some drama with model quality on Claude Code, and some very exciting news right here from CoreWeave aquiring OpenPipe!

The managed services provider (MSP) market is experiencing a paradoxical trend where revenue is increasing while the number of providers is decreasing. According to Canalys data, global managed services revenue surpassed half a trillion dollars in 2024, reflecting a year-over-year growth of 9.7%. However, the number of channel partners has slightly declined by 0.6%, with large MSPs rapidly acquiring smaller ones. This consolidation trend has led to a significant shift in the market dynamics, where smaller MSPs struggle to compete against larger firms that possess superior resources and pricing power.To survive in this competitive landscape, smaller MSPs must adopt focused strategies, targeting specific customer segments or industries. By doing so, they can achieve higher profit margins, with specialized MSPs reporting EBITDA percentages between 15% to 30%, compared to just 7% for those lacking focus. The article emphasizes that smaller MSPs have several options: they can sell to larger firms, acquire smaller peers, focus on niche markets, or leverage partnerships to remain competitive. The reality is that the middle tier of MSPs is rapidly disappearing, and those who attempt to serve everyone may find themselves at a disadvantage.In addition to the MSP market dynamics, the podcast discusses recent legislative developments, including Michigan's new laws addressing deepfakes, which make it illegal to create AI-generated sexual imagery without consent. This reflects a growing trend across the U.S. to combat nonconsensual abuse imagery, with most states now having similar laws. Furthermore, the U.S. Treasury has imposed sanctions on individuals and entities linked to North Korea's illicit IT worker schemes, highlighting the security risks posed by fraudulent practices in the tech industry.The episode also covers the latest advancements in AI-powered security solutions from various vendors, including Thrive, Addigy, Arctic Wolf, and Acronis. These companies are rolling out new services and products designed to enhance security operations and protect data. The overarching theme is that as technology evolves, the risks associated with it are also increasing, and IT service providers must adapt to these changes by offering value-added services that help clients navigate the complexities of compliance and security in a rapidly changing environment. Four things to know today 00:00 MSP Market Expands to $500B as Provider Count Shrinks Amid Rapid Consolidation04:10 From Abuse Imagery to Supply Chain Threats, Regulation Struggles to Keep Up With Emerging Risks07:45 AI Everywhere: Thrive, Security Vendors, OpenAI, and Microsoft Redefine Service Provider Playbook12:39 D&H and Nutanix Growth Signals Services-Led Future as Distributors and Vendors Push Into MSP Territory This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Hey,Waymo looks like the winner in self-driving.It's fully autonomous. Ultra-precise. Barely crashes.But Waymo's success is an illusion.And Tesla is set to leapfrog them.Not by building the best tech, but by deploying it the smartest.Waymo is expanding city by city.Its cars are packed with sensors. Each road is pre-mapped.It's safe, but slow and expensive.Tesla is moving much faster.They've already shipped over 500,000 semi-autonomous cars globally.Those vehicles are collecting billions of real-world miles, training a system that learns on the fly.No lidar. No pre-mapping. Just cameras, neural nets, and fast iteration.Tesla sends out new software every few weeks.The goal?One update that turns millions of Teslas into robotaxis overnight.Elon says they're 2–3 years from making that happen.But the deeper story isn't just about Tesla's strategy.It's the pattern — the same playbook Elon's used for rockets, electric vehicles, AI, and now robotaxis.Four founder lessons from Elon's approach:* Solve problems in the right order: Elon always seems to ask: What's the one constraint that, if solved, makes everything else easier? With self-driving, Elon didn't start with full autonomy. He started by solving the real blocker: distribution. Deploy semi-autonomous cars first, then farm real-world training data at scale to improve the product.* Find the non-obvious solution to the obvious problem: If everyone agrees on an approach, Elon will almost always do the opposite. At SpaceX, the big barrier was cost. Most people assumed the solution was better spacecraft. But Elon bet on reusable rockets instead — and changed the economics of space entirely.* Build for tomorrow's constraints: Elon doesn't care about being right today. He cares about being right in the end. With EVs, he didn't listen to early skeptics and wait for battery breakthroughs or charging networks. He built an electric sports car people wanted — then let infrastructure follow demand.* Turn users into advocates: This is a similar play to Airbnb and Uber: Build something people love and profit from, and they'll fight to protect it. Elon's version? He wants your Tesla to become your side hustle, earning money as a robotaxi while you sleep. Owners won't just want autonomy — they'll lobby for it.Tesla's robotaxi plan might be Elon's biggest bet yet, and the one that proves the pattern works at global scale.I break down the full strategy here:Chapters(00:35) Why Waymo seems unstoppable(01:46) Tesla's dropout advantage(02:38) How Tesla hacked the liability problem(03:20) The four-move checkmate to autonomy(04:28) Your Tesla's secret side hustle(05:38) Elon's genius failure formulaTranscriptTesla has got a massive problem with its self-driving tech, but no one is talking about what happens when they fix this issue because Waymo success is an illusion. And Tesla is on track to leapfrog them with a strategy to deploy a fleet of Robotaxis in every city around the world, all within the next three years made possible by Elon's playbook. That's continuously defied the odds and skeptics.First, let me introduce you to who everyone thinks is the market leader. Imagine you're in downtown San Francisco, you open an app, tap a button, and a car glides up. No driver, just empty seats waiting for you. That's Waymo. It started inside Google back in 2009. Today it's also live in cities like Austin and Phoenix.Each car is a rolling super sensor, 29 cameras plus lidar and radar. It fires millions of laser pulses every second to build a 3D model of the street. It can see shapes, judge distances, and track movement faster than any human.But the real magic isn't the hardware, it's the prem mapping. Before a single passenger steps in Waymo vans have already driven those same roads hundreds of times, recording every traffic light, curb, and road marking. When a Waymo robot taxi hits the road, it's not just reacting, it's cross-checking live data against a blueprint. It's like deja vu for robots. The results are hard to argue with. Waymo has only been at fault in one crash since launch. It's now handling 250,000 rides per week on paper. Waymo looks like it's already won the race, but the question isn't does it work? It's how fast can they take this global? That's where things get interesting.In the opposite corner, there's Tesla, no lidar, no radar. Just nine cameras worth a thousand dollars. Instead of custom mapping cities,Tesla's cars, figure it out on the fly. It's like dropping someone in Rome and telling them to drive. Tesla calls it vision-based ai.It's a system relying only on cameras and neural nets to interpret the world. Unlike Waymo's cautious rollout, Tesla ships over there updates to users every few weeks. All while collecting billions of miles of real world footage.At first glance, Waymo's Tech looks superior. Cameras have less rain than lidar. They struggle in rain fog or at night. To be fair, this isn't apples to apples. Waymo's are fully driverless. Teslas are still semi-autonomous, but that's the point. Waymo's a valedictorian who studied too hard. Tesla's a dropout who's already making money.So how is Tesla getting away with it? The answer is liability hacking. Since Tesla's system is still semi-autonomous, it's classified as driver assistance.That means the human behind the wheel is still legally responsible. If something goes wrong, it's your fault. Most of the time it's not Tesla. If Tesla had gone the Waymo route, they'd be on the hook for every crash. But by offloading liability to the driver with partial autonomy, Tesla gets to avoid approvals, delays, and lawsuits that's not just clever legal work. It's what unlocks Tesla's biggest advantage in ai, real world data at scale.Waymo's launching like NASA, slow, precise, and expensive. Tesla's doing it like SpaceX, ship fast, then learn from failure.. Here's Tesla's four step strategy.One, deploy semi-autonomous vehicles. There are already 500,000 on the road. Two, collect billions of miles of real world data. Three, train the AI on edge cases.Lab testing. Can't replicate four. Flip the switch instantly upgrading the entire fleet overnight via software update. That's 6 million Teslas turned into fully autonomous vehicles.Right now Tesla is deep into steps two and three, but step four won't happen until they hit an AI safety threshold. This is where governments agree. Tesla's AI is statistically safer than a human driver. Tesla estimates it'll take about 6 billion miles of data to clear that bar.This year, a model Y delivered itself to a customer. The robotaxis went live in Austin, already covering more ground than Waymo's service. And their semi-autonomous fleet has logged 3.6 billion miles at this pace. They're two to three years away from flipping the switch and leaving everyone else behind.But will the public trust Tesla's technology?Elon's end game isn't owning a fleet. He wants you and your car to become the fleet. Tap a button and your Tesla joins. A pool of robo taxis making money while you sleep. Think Uber, but you don't have to drive the car.It could turn every Tesla into an appreciating asset, justifying higher margins, pricing power, and long-term valuation..This is Elon's master stroke. When autonomy arrives, millions of Tesla owners will have money riding on it. They'll advocate for regulatory approval, maybe not out of belief, but out of profit.. It's the same playbook. Uber and Airbnb used. Build something people love and earn from, then regulators will have little choice, but to legalize it, wall Street gets it. Tesla's $800 billion. Valuation assumes autonomy works. If it fails, that value disappears. But investors aren't just betting on autonomy, they're betting on a story they've already seen.Tesla's Robotaxis strategy follows a pattern Elon has used before. Look at SpaceX critic said he couldn't build better rockets than nasa, but that was never the point. He made space exploration cheaper by creating reusable rockets.After years of blowing them up and learning. SpaceX now handles 80% of the world's payload. It's the same with electric cars. Elon didn't care that batteries were weak or charging took too long. He bet that if he built a car, people want it, the infrastructure would follow demand. That's why Tesla started with a hundred thousand dollars sports car, not a budget sedan.Elon's pattern is that his companies look like expensive failures until they suddenly work. His Robo Taxii strategy is the same play. Waymo might beat Tesla in precision, but Tesla's betting it can beat everyone in distribution. There are four things founders can learn from Elon's approach. One, solve problems in the right order. What's the constraint that if solved, makes everything else easier? Two, find a non-obvious solution to the obvious problem.When everyone agrees on an approach, Elon does the opposite. Three, build for tomorrow's constraints. Elon doesn't care about being right today. He cares about being right in the end. Four, turn customers into advocates. When they love what you build, they'll fight for it. But most importantly, sometimes you just have to lock in, block out the noise and build.Consensus creates comfort while conviction builds empires.Hiten=)Hiten Shah is free today.

First, a collection of first reactions to GPT-5. This week saw major AI shifts — from web-scraping battles to the brutal economics of AI coding startups. Cloudflare took aim at Perplexity over “stealth crawling,” Google defended AI overviews against claims they hurt web traffic, and reports revealed that coding firms like Windsurf and Replit face severe negative margins despite rapid growth. Also in the mix: Google's Jules coding agent launch, N8N's potential $2.3B valuation as the first pure-play agentic company, Microsoft's talent raids on Google DeepMind, and OpenAI's $500B secondary talks with $1.5M employee bonuses and $1 government-agency deals. Together, these stories show the fierce power struggles and harsh economics shaping AI's next era.Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kpmg.com/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blitzy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

How many more times can we report on a week in tech that changed the world? But here we go again…. We just had a week in Silicon Valley where everything, supposedly, changed. At least according to Keith Teare, publisher of the tech That Was the Week weekly newsletter. But last week really really was a special week, Keith insists. It was the week when AI became an actor. When it broke all our traditional software assumptions by becoming an actor, not an app. It was the week AI entered what Keith calls its 'Stone Age' - the moment machines finally got their own tools and began using spreadsheets, databases, and documents without being explicitly told to. If Keith is right, we're about to live in a world where toys talk back to children and cars introduce themselves to their new owners. Yes, AI is in the earliest stages of learning to think for itself. It was, indeed, just another historic week in Silicon Valley.1. AI Has Crossed the Tool-Use ThresholdThis week marked AI's transition from being a tool humans use to becoming an independent actor that chooses and uses its own tools. ChatGPT can now autonomously access spreadsheets, databases, and documents - Keith compares this to humanity's leap from the Stone Age to the Tool Age.2. OpenAI's $500B Valuation Isn't Crazy - It's StrategicDespite seeming absurd, OpenAI's path from $50B to $500B valuation in 18 months follows classic tech playbook: prioritize growth over early profits ("early profit is mismanagement"), focus on 90% gross margins, and build the biggest possible "money printing machine" before optimizing for profitability.3. Software and Hardware Are Being RedefinedWe're moving toward a world where software becomes invisible - delivered through conversational interfaces rather than visual apps - and hardware becomes interactive through embedded AI. Think toys that talk back to children and cars that introduce themselves to owners.4. Creative Generalists Will Thrive, Specialists Are at RiskAI threatens specialists with rule-based skills (consultants, certain scientists) but enhances "audacious" creative generalists who can think outside the box. AI excels as a servant or co-pilot but can't yet replace original thinking or path-breaking creativity.5. We're Entering an Age of AI EmbeddednessThe future isn't about using AI apps - it's about living in a world where AI is embedded in physical objects and environments, making the entire world interactive. This represents a fundamental shift from digital interfaces to ambient intelligence.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Today's Headlines: Putin wants to meet with Trump next week to talk about ending the war in Ukraine, and Trump says he's hoping to follow that up with a three-way summit with Zelensky. While that's brewing, Trump's playing tariff hardball—he just doubled tariffs on Indian goods to 50% to punish them for buying Russian oil (which… they already said they were going to keep doing). He also announced 100% tariffs on imported semiconductor chips unless companies build in the US, but Apple's apparently promised $100B in US investments, so they're cool. In Georgia, a 28-year-old Army sergeant shot five fellow soldiers at Fort Stewart before being tackled by other troops. Everyone's expected to recover, and the Army's investigating. The Library of Congress had to admit that major sections of the Constitution—like habeas corpus and the emoluments clause—were missing from their site due to a “coding error.” Sure. RFK Jr., now head of Health & Human Services, just canceled $500B in contracts for mRNA vaccine development because he doesn't trust the science.

OpenAI is eyeing a blockbuster $500B valuation in new talks for an employee share sale. We dig into the details and who stands to gain the most in any potential deal. 

OpenAI is racing to build a 5GW AI infrastructure empire with Oracle, which will cost $30B a year and create enough juice to power 4 million homes. Stargate, its $500 billion dollar SoftBank partnership, however, is lagging behind, and is still yet to secure a single data center deal.Featured Guest: Jake O'Shea, principal, Antler

A daily Chronicle of AI Innovations in July 22 2025Calling All AI Innovators | AI Builder's ToolkitHello AI Unraveled Listeners,In today's AI Daily News,

Linear thinking squanders $500 billion annually. The revelation? Ecosystemic collaboration across value chains unlocks it.Textile innovators shatter assumptions—strategic design choices create immediate circular economics. Dr. Rawaa Ammar, Chief Sustainability & Impact Officer at Resortecs, reveals a counterintuitive reality: While companies optimize in isolation, the industry collectively discards $500 billion in materials (equivalent to one garbage truck of textiles every second). Ecosystemic design captures 85-90% through active disassembly—but only when entire value chains collaborate.Unexpected Paradigm Shifts:→ Value Chain Orchestration: Success requires collaboration across entire ecosystems (brands, collectors, recyclers)—silos prevent circular economics → Scale Inversion: Siloed, manual processes hit scaling walls—you can't "hire more workers" for circular economics → Critical Materials Redefinition: Cotton becomes strategically critical when supply chains break (Suez Canal delays cost billions) → Policy Innovation Engine: EU's 16 textile regulations generate ecosystemic collaboration and profit centersEconomic Reality: → 100 billion garments produced annually,

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1078: Today we're talking stormy shareholder meetings at Nissan, the EV factory tours drawing crowds in China, and the Gen Z men getting caught outsourcing their work to AI.Show Notes with links:Nissan's new CEO Ivan Espinosa faced intense scrutiny from investors at his first annual shareholders' meeting as he moves forward with a bold restructuring plan and ends Renault's board influence.Espinosa replaces ousted CEO Makoto Uchida, part of a March leadership overhaul aimed at reviving a struggling Nissan.Longtime partner Renault lost direct influence as its board reps, including Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard, were removed—marking a clear shift toward Nissan independence.Shareholders grilled Espinosa on governance, executive pay, and the automaker's U.S. and Japan strategy.Nissan plans to cut 20,000 jobs, shut 7 factories, and save ¥500B ($3.46B) by March 2028.It projects a ¥200B ($1.38B) Q1 loss, including ¥450B ($3B) in expected U.S. tariff hits.One attendee described the Q&A as “stormy,” saying Espinosa was “smooth and fluent… but equivocated without substance.”EV factory tours have become a cultural sensation in China, with tens of thousands scrambling each month for a glimpse behind the robotic curtain of brands like Xiaomi and Nio.Xiaomi Auto's factory receives over 27,000 applications per night for limited tour slots, offering racetrack test drives and now souvenirs.Nio drew 130,000 visitors last year; several other automakers are jumping on board.What began as three monthly tours at Xiaomi has expanded to weekday and weekend offerings for over 1,100 visitors.Visitors describe vast facilities with “only a handful of workers” as robots handle most of the labor.“It offers a chance to not only see the production line up close, but also experience the human side of the brand,” said analyst Freya Zhang.A new survey reveals that while AI boosts Gen Z productivity, a surprising number—especially men—are bending the rules by passing off AI work as their own.40% of Gen Z men admitted to submitting AI-generated work as their own; only 20% of women did the same.Nearly 1 in 3 Gen Z workers have knowingly broken company policy using AI and 30% say they've created fake work with AI to appear more productive.42% of Gen Z men say they worry AI could replace them at work—compared to just 33% of women.23% of men said they couldn't do their job without AI; only 14% of women felt that way.Eva Chan, career expert at Resume Genius, “The concern is workers start outsourcing not just tasks, but their judgment, confidence, and even their voice.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

00:03:50 - 00:18:12Trump's $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense system aims to use space-based interceptors to counter advanced missiles, but China warns it risks militarizing space and sparking an arms race. Congress estimates costs at $500 billion over 20 years. Russia's nuclear-powered Burevestnik missile, with unlimited range, could render it obsolete, raising concerns about budget overruns and SpaceX's involvement. 00:18:36 - 00:26:10Neocons push for war with Iran, demanding its nuclear program's dismantlement, while MAGA influencers like Bannon and Greene favor diplomacy. This reflects public exhaustion with Middle East wars, opposing defense contractors' agendas, with the host noting a hopeful shift against escalation. 00:31:12 - 00:38:12The Pentagon, citing unverified Chinese “super soldier” claims, proposes genetic experiments on U.S. troops using CRISPR and mRNA, alongside biosurveillance. Ethical concerns arise over human experimentation and CIA ties, with deregulation favoring biotech firms, risking taxpayer funds and safety. 00:44:45 - 00:53:36Trump grants asylum to 54 Afrikaner South Africans facing violence and land confiscation, confronting Ramaphosa with evidence of “white genocide.” The host supports this, criticizing media deflections and narrow refugee definitions, emphasizing the severe persecution Afrikaners endure. 01:17:37 - 01:36:07The FDA now requires trials for COVID-19 vaccines for healthy people aged 6 months to 64, but approved high-risk group vaccines without data, rushed by Trump's “warp speed.” A Senate report reveals Biden officials hid myocarditis risks in young men, delaying warnings despite early signals, driven by corporate interests. Low vaccine uptake (13% kids, 23% adults) and rising heart issues highlight the cover-up. 01:36:07 - 01:40:50Medpage Today confirms RFK Jr.'s claim that the MMR mumps vaccine is ineffective, admitting Merck's fraudulent data, but dismisses him as a lawyer. Failed lawsuits left untested, harmful vaccines on the market, with one-third of trial kids facing health issues, exposing systemic vaccine regulation flaws. 01:48:10 - 02:01:35A bill strips states' AI regulation rights for 10 years, a Trump-backed federal power grab seen as unconstitutional. States urged to block AI infrastructure. Vermont pauses its EV mandate, citing weak tech and infrastructure, resisting California's 2035 EV push, which could set a national standard. 02:04:03 - 02:08:48Rep. Luna's bill seeks to repeal the Patriot Act, blamed for post-9/11 surveillance and rights violations. The host sees 9/11 as a pretext for wars and a police state, urging the act's end to curb intelligence agency abuses and restore privacy. 02:10:21 - 02:34:23Cecile Richards, dead at 67 from brain cancer, is condemned for leading 3.5 million abortions at Planned Parenthood and alleged fetal part sales. Her unrepentant stance, Freedom from Religion awards, and Biden's Medal of Freedom are criticized as anti-God. Kushner's 2017 funding offer was rejected. Abortion's 2024 toll (45.1 million, 42% of deaths) and 60% of African American deaths are called “black genocide.” GOP's funding via CARES Act ($80 million) and MAGA's defense of Trump's vaccines are slammed. 02:37:05 - 02:49:03Brown Foods' “Unreal Milk” and Israeli lab-grown dairy, like Wilk, claim to cut emissions by 82%, backed by Gates and USDA despite no farming. Biomilq targets infants, tied to C40's no-dairy push. Called “tumor milk,” it's criticized as an anti-agriculture, climate-driven scam with lax FDA oversight. 02:50:39 - 03:00:36Trump's “Gold Card” visa, costing $5 million, claims 250,000 applicants to raise $1 trillion, but only 277,000 global millionaires qualify. Offering tax-free foreign income and no country caps, it's decried as a corrupt deal for Trump's allies, bypassing vetting and America-first values.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.
