While Trump is in the Middle East making family business deals, House Republicans today proposed their tax cut bill, with a price tag of nearly $5T, paid for with cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, green energy programs, and everything else DOGE took a chainsaw to. But who actually pays taxes these days? The US is now the world's second largest tax haven, moving ahead of Switzerland, and trailing only the Cayman Islands. Here's my 2021 conversation with CHUCK COLLINS, who directs the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies and co-edits their newsletter, Inequality Weekly. We talk about his latest book, THE WEALTH HOARDERS: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions. You can learn more at inequality.org
In this episode, host Jack Nerad and guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo take listeners behind the wheels of two high-end 2025 SUVs—the all-new 2025 Lincoln Navigator and the 2025 Genesis GV80 3.5T. Both vehicles demonstrate clearly that today's automakers are pulling out all the stops in the quest to entice luxury SUV buyers. First up is Matt DeLorenzo's review of the 2025 Lincoln Navigator, which continues to push boundaries in the full-size luxury SUV segment. The heavily revised Navigator retains its twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, now offering slightly more power and improved fuel efficiency. Key updates for 2025 include enhanced ActiveGlide hands-free driving capability, a larger infotainment system, and upgraded interior materials across all trims. With its spacious third row, extensive safety tech, and traditional American luxury cues, the Navigator gains even more credentials as a top-tier choice for families who prioritize comfort and prestige. While Matt DeLorenzo was attending the Navigator launch, host Jack Nerad was conducting a thorough test drive of one of the most likable luxury SUVs on the market, the 2025 Genesis GV80 3.5T AWD Prestige. This midsize luxury SUV cuts through the prestige vehicle clutter with its refined ride, upscale cabin, and contemporary technology. It features a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, advanced suspension, and a 27-inch OLED display that integrates navigation and instrumentation. Its Nappa leather upholstery, suede headliner, and a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system highlight its luxury credentials. Does it have an Achilles' heel or two? Matt and Jack will offer their opinions. The news segment leads with the public debut of the Slate Truck, a battery-electric, back-to-basics compact pickup from Michigan-based startup Slate Auto. Designed with simplicity and affordability in mind, it launches with a base price under $27,000—potentially under $20,000 after incentives—and that's just one of its eye-popping attributes. Another? Owners can retrofit it into a small SUV using a modular rear-seat kit. The minimalist design and customization-first philosophy are drawing attention, but questions remain about performance, durability, and market viability. Do American buyers want a vehicle with cloth seats and crank windows? Also in the news, there's been a shift in the U.S. auto tariff landscape. New adjustments to President Trump's 25% import duties aim to ease pressure on automakers and encourage domestic manufacturing at the same time. Matt and Jack detail how automakers might leverage unused American factory capacity and what the changes could mean for production strategy and the price you might pay at your local dealer. Other segments of this week's show highlight Toyota's rollout of hydrogen-powered Class 8 trucks and its more efficient Gen 3 fuel cell system, along with timely safety reminders about preventing heatstroke deaths among children and pets as summer approaches.

This week, we look back on an interesting/memorable month as the market experiences a wall of worry, reflecting optimism despite economic disruptions. We look at historical data showing that investing at market tops can still yield positive returns over time. We also advise on why maintaining cash reserves and fixed income is crucial for navigating market volatility, especially for retirees. We'll then examine the rumors about the dollar, showing why it remains strong and is unlikely to lose its reserve currency status in the near term, and we look at international markets' performance, highlighting the importance of diversification in investment portfolios. Finally, we discuss the correlation between stocks and bonds and why investors should focus on long-term growth rather than short-term market fluctuations.

Welcome to another episode of The Coral Capital Podcast, a show where we bring on guests from tech, business, politics, and culture to talk about all things Japan.In this episode, economist and long-time Japan optimist Jesper Koll breaks down how Japan is faring amid rising global protectionism, demographic shifts, and geopolitical uncertainty. A resident of Japan since 1986, Jesper has spent decades at the forefront of Japan analysis and investment, having served as chief strategist and head of research for JP Morgan and Merrill Lynch. He currently advises Monex Group, sits on the Japan Catalyst Fund's investment committee, and serves on multiple high-level advisory boards, including Governor Yuriko Koike's.Jesper warns that a Trump 2.0 presidency could trigger a double whammy for Japan: a weaker dollar slashing Japanese corporate profits and an aggressive U.S. tariff regime pushing China to dump exports into Southeast Asia—hurting Japan's industrial giants in the process. But he's still bullish on Japan.Why? Jesper sees Japan as “capitalism that works”—a system quietly modernizing under the radar. From record M&A and MBO activity to a younger generation of CEOs open to change, Japan is entering a new phase of productivity and openness. He highlights the ongoing shift to performance-based pay, increased immigration, and growing startup dynamism as key signs of this transformation. Why a weaker dollar is Japan's silent earnings risk: With two-thirds of Japanese listed company profits coming from overseas, a 10-yen appreciation can slash earnings by 8%. If Trump 2.0 weakens the dollar, Japan takes a hit—fast. Japan isn't insular—it's hyper-globalized: Despite its reputation, Japan generates a higher percentage of corporate profits overseas than the U.S. or Germany. From Daichi Life to Toyota, Japan's biggest firms are already global players. The real threat of Trump's China policy is deflation via the Global South: U.S. tariffs could force China to dump excess goods into Southeast Asia, undercutting Japanese firms not just on price, but now on quality too. Made in Japan = 30~40% price premium: Companies like Shiseido are relocating production to Japan not for politics, but for branding. “Brand-shoring” is about value, not alliances. Why energy—not labor—is Japan's factory hurdle: Labor can be automated. The real constraint on manufacturing in Japan may be uncertainty around energy costs and nuclear policy. Japan's brain gain is real—and measurable: While the population shrinks, immigration is quietly surging. Every day, 1,200 people get 3-year work permits. Companies are adapting with performance-based pay, not seniority resulting in higher talent liquidity.Record M&A and MBOs aren't a coincidence: As Japan's CEOs get younger and legacy-heavy firms face succession issues, a wave of corporate transformation is underway. “Metabolism,” Jesper says, is up.What Japan needs most is inheritance tax reform: MacArthur's anti-zaibatsu policies made sense post-WWII. But now, without reform, Japan risks losing its $4.5T+ generational wealth transfer to debt paydown instead of innovation.Japan ‘s “capitalism that works”: A system that's democratic, fair, globally integrated, and quietly undergoing a transformation from within.-----For founders building Japan's next legendary companies, reach out to us here: https://coralcap.co/contact-startups/If you're interested in joining a Coral startup, join our talent network here: https://coralcap.co/coral-careers/

Today's show discusses some of Trump's emerging domestic policies, with focus on what's behind shutting down the Education Dept., Trump Tariffs, and the $4.5T tax cuts working its way through Congress. What's the real impact of Tariffs on inflation and economic growth? What's Trump's 3 part tax strategy? Which presidents since 2001 are responsible for cutting US taxes by $17 trillion and how much did each contribute? Why Trump's overall fiscal policies are classic Neoliberalism. The show also comments on US air attacks on Yemen and Trump-Putin's phone calls and scenarios for future US-Russia-Ukraine negotiations.
En este episodio, cubrimos los eventos clave que están generando movimiento en los mercados y en sectores estratégicos: Wall Street cae antes del "triple witching": Se espera que $4.5T en contratos de opciones y futuros expiren hoy, lo que podría elevar la volatilidad en una semana ya marcada por tensiones comerciales y temores de recesión.

Santiago 3:5Tú y yo hemos leído algunas de las graves consecuencias del calentamiento del planeta y cómo afecta a todos los seres vivos. Hoy la lectura tiene que ver con algo pequeño que puede causar un gran daño. Leamos el versículo otra vez. Así es. Una pequeña llama de fuego es suficiente para iniciar un incendio forestal.Según el planeta se va calentando más y más, los rayos del sol calientan las hojas y las ramas secas de los árboles, generando una pequeña llama. En pocas horas, esta llama crece y continúa quemando otras ramas y hojas alrededor. Si una persona lo descubre y lo apaga a tiempo, se puede evitar un gran daño.La Biblia usa este ejemplo para dar una enseñanza. Dice que la lengua es algo muy pequeño de tu cuerpo, que usas para hablar. Si las palabras que dices son amables y respetuosas, entonces serán como medicina que sana y alivia, pero si tus palabras dañan a otra persona, entonces serán como el que incendia un bosque.Así como el fuego, las palabras viajan a gran velocidad. Pasan de una persona a otra y ya es imposible retornarlas. Solo puedes pedir perdón a la persona que has lastimado, también a Dios.Por eso, al hablar, recuerda la regla de oro. Vamos a buscarla en la Biblia en Mateo 7: 12.Eres especialPalabra clave: Incendio forestal. Es el fuego que quema un bosque desplazándose sin control a gran velocidad.Actividad: Buscar en la Biblia.Oración: Padre, perdóname cuando he hablado mal de mis amigos. Ayúdame a no hacerlo, Amén.

Good Trump Bad Trump lives again! Segment 1: Gene Hackman Tribute* Context: Discussion sparked by the suspicious death of a 95-year-old man in Arizona (initially unclear if it's Hackman, later clarified as a tribute to his legacy).* Key Points:* Hackman's death at 95 is seen as a full life; hosts reflect on his cinematic impact.* Favorites: Hoosiers (Strong One's top pick for its underdog story), The Quick and the Dead (best villain role), Superman (best Lex Luthor), The Replacements, Young Frankenstein, The Firm, Royal Tenenbaums, Crimson Tide, Get Shorty.* Praise for Hackman as "the last true American tough guy" pre-"woke bull crap" (last credit 2004).* Memorable Quote: "Death, taxes, and whatever Gene Hackman's in is a good movie."Segment 2: Government Critique and DOGE* DOGE Revelations:* Hosts laud DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) for exposing wasteful spending (e.g., $300 screws, $25K toilet seats).* Obama allegedly receives $2.6M annually from "Obamacare" royalties—hosts question its legitimacy.* Conspiracy Nod: References to Independence Day and Bourne Identity as examples of government corruption hiding in plain sight.* Critique: DOGE exposes financial waste but lacks power to stop it; hosts demand action over mere exposure.Segment 3: Epstein Files Disappointment* Update: "Part 1" of Epstein files released, but it's a "nothing burger"—same old phone records and flight logs, no new names.* Frustration: Hosts criticize Attorney General Pam Bondi for not acting despite having the files, suspect a cover-up by intelligence agencies (CIA, FBI, Mossad).* Hope: Speculation that "Part 2" might reveal more, but skepticism prevails based on historical inaction.* Bad Trump Moment: Trump's failure to push harder on this issue disappoints the hosts.Segment 4: Ukraine and American Empire* News: Trump negotiates $500B in Ukrainian mineral rights (uranium, titanium, coal, oil) in exchange for U.S. bases to secure the border against Russia.* Critique: Hosts decry it as empire-building, no different from Biden/Obama policies—contradicts "no boots on the ground" promises.* Irony: Both liberals (pro-war) and Republicans (pro-minerals) get what they want, exposing a unified agenda.Segment 5: Policy Updates* Tax Cuts: House passes $2T tax cut, $4.5T in breaks—no taxes on tips, overtime, or Social Security payments.* Immigration: Trump's "Golden Ticket"—$5M buys citizenship, bypassing legal struggles (hosts wary of corruption risks).* Maine Governor: Janet Mills defies Trump's ban on men in women's sports; Trump threatens to pull federal funding and college accreditation.* Ohio Governor Race: Vivek Ramaswamy emerges as a candidate, endorsed by J.D. Vance.* Florida Governor Race: Casey DeSantis runs, sparking dynasty talk with Ron DeSantis.Segment 6: Cultural Reflections* Kathleen Kennedy Retirement: Set for end of 2025—hosts cheer but lament she's not fired in disgrace for ruining Star Wars, Willow, and Indiana Jones.* Comedy as Reality: Past satire (Life of Brian, SNL's Pat) mirrors today's gender debates—hosts call it a mental illness, not reality.* Language Debate: Hosts discuss curse words' cultural weight vs. biblical purity, landing on personal conviction over strict rules.Final Thoughts* Strong One: Honor parents by avoiding their mistakes; only Jesus breaks generational curses.* Philosopher King: Navigating cultural lines (e.g., language) is complex—trust the Holy Spirit's conviction.* Dusty: Comedy of the past (e.g., Life of Brian, Pat) is today's absurd reality—trans issues are a mental health crisis, not a civil right.Closing* Verse: Zechariah 8:16—"Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates."* Prayer: Call for truth, vigilance, and drawing closer to Jesus.* Sign-Off: "You've been listening to the Kingsplaining Podcast… where the people are free, the taxes are voluntary, and your two kings serve the King of Kings, Christ Jesus."Where to Find Us* Website: Kingsplaining.com* Platforms: Anywhere you get podcasts* Call to Action: Like, share, subscribe, review on Apple Podcasts.

Michael Pento, president and founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies (PPS), joins Julia La Roche on episode 233 where he delivers a stark warning about the state of financial markets. Pento challenges Fed Chair Powell's recent victory lap on inflation, pointing out that prices have remained above the Fed's 2% target for nearly four years. He outlines his thesis for what he calls a "triumvirate of bubbles" in equities, real estate, and credit markets, explaining why these interconnected asset bubbles could lead to a market correction of at least 50%. Drawing on his 34 years of experience and proprietary 20-point liquidity model, Pento provides detailed evidence for his concerns while sharing insights on portfolio positioning, the impact of Trump 2.0, and potential solutions to America's mounting debt crisis.Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/juliaLinks: https://pentoport.com/ https://twitter.com/michaelpento0:00 Intro and welcome Michael0:43 Powell's congressional testimony & inflation criticism 3:02 Fed's $5T post-COVID liquidity & reverse repo facility 6:43 Warning of market bubbles 7:28 Evidence of equity bubble (Market cap to GDP, price to sales) 10:27 Credit bubble & private credit markets 11:24 Liquidity draining from system 13:08 Trump 2.0 impact on markets 14:37 Analyzing market liquidity (20-point model) 18:21 Future recession & $6T deficit concerns 19:41 Potential silver lining: Market reset 21:10 Fed's rate cut dilemma 23:10 Treasury gold revaluation discussion 25:56 Solutions to US debt crisis 28:44 Current portfolio strategy 31:51 Critique of passive investment industry 35:00 Closing thoughts & contact information

Tesla stock closed the day at $428 per share, representing a valuation of $1.5T. Reflecting on this milestone, I wanted to analyze what Tesla's financials were and what would be needed to justify a valuation of this level, and beyond. My high level theory is, Tesla is in a very unique spot. The core business is likely to generate $9B in GAAP operating income for the full year of 2024. Based on today's closing price, that is a valuation of 167X price/earnings. A little steep. Buying at today's $1.5T price implies an expected valuation of $3-5T in the future (a potential double or triple on your money). To justify this, Tesla will need about $100B in earnings. So that is my questions? When does Tesla hit this number? How fast do Cybercab & Optimus contribute to the company's earnings and cashflow?

Bitcoin had a quiet start to the week after a historic monthly close, but only when it came to price action. Beyond that, plenty is happening. The big talking point of the past 24 hours is the US government moving almost 20,000 BTC to Coinbase Prime and possibly selling a portion of it. This drew criticism and reignited a debate over whether the US should be selling any Bitcoin. Also, while on Bitcoin, Michael Saylor delivered his pitch to the Microsoft board and shared the video and the pitch deck. Finally, the co-creator of Meta's stablecoin project, Diem, opens up about how it didn't just die, it was killed.Further reading:US government selling Bitcoin is a ‘huge strategic mistake,' say observersUS gov't transfers $1.9B BTC seized from Silk Road to Coinbase PrimeMichael Saylor tells Microsoft it's value could soar $5T with BitcoinDeath of Meta's stablecoin project was ‘100% a political kill' — Ex Diem bossReferences:Michael Saylor's pitch to MicrosoftRise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

American kids are struggling. And there's a lot of discussion around the reasons why. Is it smartphones? Is it social media? Is it a hyper-fixation on feelings and therapy? Economist, author, and host of ParentData, Emily Oster, joins Dr. Becky to discuss the latest book making the rounds in parenting circles, Bad Therapy. They delve into what parental authority is and what it isn't, how minimization of risk is not a life strategy for kids or adults, and how we can hold the idea that two things are true - we can be authorities who also come from a same-team approach with our kids.Join Good Inside Membership: https://bit.ly/3VzdNkHFollow Dr. Becky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinsideSign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: https://www.goodinside.com/newsletterOrder Dr. Becky's book, Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be, at goodinside.com/book or wherever you order your books.For a full transcript of the episode, go to goodinside.com/podcastTo listen to Dr. Becky's TED Talk on repair visit https://www.ted.com/talks/becky_kennedy_the_single_most_important_parenting_strategyToday's episode is brought to you by Garanimals: Garanimals is the original mix-and-match clothing brand for babies and toddlers in sizes newborn to 5T.
