Story of the Week (DR):SuperBroIpoDystopia: Some key facts: MMa record-breaking $135 per share with$1.8T valuationTo make that math make sense, analysts estimate the company needs to grow its sales by 50% every single year for the next decadeSpaceX lost $4.9B last yearWall Street is Being Treated Like Order-Takers: Musk pre-set the IPO price strictly at $135 and dictating exactly which investors got allocations. This forced major investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to act as glorified order-takers without even knowing their exact compensation beforehandSaudi Aramco $1.7T; Alibaba: $237B; Facebook $118BNasdaq aggressively pushed through "fast-entry" rule changes specifically to allow mega-caps like SpaceX to bypass the traditional year of seasoning and enter the Nasdaq-100 in just 15 trading days. This forces passive index funds to buy in blindly to avoid tracking errorsMeme stocker bros: $100B in share orders30% of $75B offering is earmarked for individual retail investors. This effectively shifts late-stage, hyper-inflated valuation risk away from institutions and onto the public.BlackRock $5BInstitutional investors admitted that when they bought into SpaceX privately, they were given high-level revenue figures but were denied a copy of the actual balance sheet—an unprecedented lack of transparency for a company raising tens of billionsUniversity of Washington more than 10% of its $17B in assetsUNC about 10%SpaceX will make $75B in proceedsSaudi Aramco $26B; Alibaba $22BElon Musk's Absolute Voting Tyranny (80% of voting power)personal net worth has officially skyrocketed past $1.1TSpaceX's foundational scale was built on the back of the American public, securing over $20 billion in U.S. federal government contracts to fund its rocket developmentAntonio Gracias: personally lent Musk $1M to keep him afloat; his PE firm Valor gave $76MThat $1M lifeline and early institutional backing from 2008 have compounded into what analysts are calling the most lucrative return on a personal favor in business history.The Second-Largest Shareholder: Through various Valor entities, Gracias controls roughly 7.3% of SpaceX's Class A stock (more than 500 million shares)Gracias's stake is officially worth anywhere from $91B to over $140BThis single corporate listing instantly catapults Gracias into the ranks of the world's 50 richest people.The big party: combined valuation of $3.6TAnthropic ($965B) filed confidentially on June 1OpenAI ($1T) filed confidentially on June 8"We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it's a complicated set of tradeoffs, and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best."What does it all amount to? 4 horrible objectives:Funding a Sci-Fi Passion Project with Public CashBecoming the Pentagon's Irreplaceable War MachineForget the folksy narrative that Starlink is just for connecting rural schools or isolated communities: SpaceX is systematically turning itself into the ultimate military contractorProject Starshield: Those satellites are the foundation for a highly classified, militarized version of the network designed for government surveillance, secure communications, and real-time battlefield tracking.Too Big to Regulate: By launching the vast majority of the world's payloads and controlling the dominant orbital communications network, SpaceX is making the U.S. military entirely dependent on its hardware. The ultimate point is to become so deeply embedded in national defense that the government can never afford to regulate, penalize, or dismantle Musk's empireAn Orbital Real Estate Land GrabBuilding a Borderless, Lawless EmpireSpaceX is attempting to build a tech infrastructure that exists entirely outside the jurisdiction of EarthUltimately, SpaceX isn't trying to save humanity from a dying Earth; it's trying to ensure that whoever controls Earth's future has to pay rent to Elon MuskIran threatens Elon Musk's companies in Middle East: Iranian state mediaAll of Elon Musk's companies in the Middle East are military targets for Iran as it retaliates against the U.S., Iranian state media outlet Fars reported.The targets include a regional Starlink ground station, according to Fars.Sen. Warren calls on SEC to delay SpaceX IPO, flagging concerns about valuation and governanceThe letter to the heads of the Nasdaq, S&P Dow Jones Indices, FTSE Russell and Morningstar Indexes sent on Thursday asked the companies whether they had made or considered rule changes based on lobbying from Elon Musk, other SpaceX officials or officials from OpenAI or Anthropic, and asked for any communications between the companies and the indexesLSEG, which owns the FTSE Russell, and Nasdaq declined to comment. Morningstar did not respond to a request from CNBC for comment.S&P Dow Jones Indices didn't comment on the letter, but the company noted it had decided not to change its rules regarding indexes: “S&P DJI determined that exceptions to these requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization,” it said in a statement to CNBC. “The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements.”Democrats ask Goldman Sachs CEO why he's keeping lawyer who said she'd resign over ties to EpsteinGoldman Sachs CEO David Solomon is facing new scrutiny from congressional Democrats over his reported effort to retain the bank's top lawyer months after she said she would resign over revelations about her ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey EpsteinIn a letter sent Wednesday:U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs CommitteeRepresentative Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services on the House Oversight Committee“Ruemmler ‘educated (Epstein) on how the law differentiates between underage victims of sex crimes and adult prostitutes…'”In February, Ruemmler announced her resignation from Goldman Sachs, effective June 30, 2026: “At the time, you stated that you “reluctantly” accepted Ruemmler's resignation. While Goldman Sachs has declined to comment on this matter, new reporting suggests that you ‘pressed' her to reconsider her resignation and instead move to a new position within the firm.”Teardown of Trump Phone Reveals Incredibly Embarrassing SecretA recent teardown by repair company iFixit confirmed that the T1 is an almost entirely unmodified HTC U24 Pro, a two-year-old and mid-tier Android phone, with a cheap coat of gold colorationTrump is selling an entirely Chinese smartphone, despite waging an economic war against the country.Apart from minuscule changes to the speaker grille and a lengthened flex cable, iFixit concluded that “everything is the same, except the pattern of holes in the case.”Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Google and Meta denied new trial in youth social media addiction caseMM: In the United States, Solar Energy is Outpacing Coal for the First Time EverAssholiest of the Week - SPEED ROUND (MM):BP's useless, reactionary board of directors: BP drops net zero division in wake of boardroom turmoil; BP's new CEO Meg O'Neill rips up the energy giant's playbook—and the ‘green' era with it - 10Ryanair blowhard CEO Michael O'Leary: Ryanair investigated over charging parents to sit with children - 5EV killing GM and Mary Barra: GM is pivoting its battery expertise toward powering AI data centers and the grid - 10Every company that fired employees and replaced them with AI: Unfortunate Company Accidentally Blows Half a Billion Dollars on Claude in One Month; AI sticker shock hits corporate America - 10Everything out of Alex Karp's fat mouth: Palantir CEO Alex Karp says executives who brag about their AI cuts might as well ‘sign up for the Bernie Sanders manifesto'; Palantir CEO says AI companies 'don't understand how unlikeable they are'; - 10Sorry Liz, this is investors job: Sen.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's episode brings commercial real estate credit investing to life with someone who has real estate in his blood. Michael Comparato's grandfather started building single-family homes in upstate New York in 1946. He built his first shopping center in 1958. Michael was born into a family where he was on construction sites from a young age. At 13, he was doing landscaping. At 15, he was hanging drywall. Today, Michael is a Senior Managing Director, Head of Real Estate and Portfolio Manager with Benefit Street Partners, as well as Chief Executive Officer of Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc (NYSE: FBRT). He also serves on the US Executive Committee.Prior to joining BSP in 2015, Michael was Head of U.S. Equity Investments at Ladder Capital. Before that, he was President at Bank Atlantic Commercial Mortgage Capital.Benefit Street Partners is part of Franklin Templeton's family of specialists in private markets. BSP is a specialized private credit firm with over $92B in AUM. The firm manages a wide range of private credit strategies, including direct lending, special situations, commercial real estate debt, infrastructure debt, asset-backed finance, structured credit, and liquid credit. It also manages a non-traded Business Development Company and publicly-listed mortgage REIT.Since BSP was acquired by Franklin Templeton in 2019, it has partnered with the $1.7T investment manager to expand how it structures various products and funds, enabling more access to the private credit asset class for wealth investors.From his perch as the Head of BSP's Real Estate business, Michael has the perspective of how one of the industry's scaled real estate investment firms is approaching commercial real estate credit and where the firm sees opportunity. Michael and I had a fascinating conversation about the evolution of CRE credit and why now might be an interesting time in the CRE credit space. We covered:Why CRE, why now.What bank retrenchment means for CRE credit investors today.The relative resilience of multi-family.The maturity wall myth.Is the “extend and pretend” activity a reality?How AI impacts commercial real estate.Thanks Michael for sharing your passion, wisdom, and expertise on commercial real estate credit.Show Notes00:00 Meet Michael Comparato01:17 Real Estate Roots03:25 Early Lessons and Purpose03:35 Hurricanes And Tenants05:05 Story Over Spreadsheet06:49 Why Origination Wins08:43 Family Business Ethos10:59 Trust And Transparency11:27 Lending Through Covid13:05 Structuring For Uncertainty13:56 Boom Times Underwriting Shifts16:54 Crowded Class A Trade18:19 Are Values Fair Today21:46 Operator Shakeout23:59 Scale and Market Structure26:16 Banks Pull Back Credit27:59 Private Credit Fills Gap29:24 Who Holds Last Dollar Risk29:29 Returns and Competition30:35 Competition Compresses Yields30:58 Maturity Wall Myth33:05 How Investors Bucket Credit36:04 Wealth Channel Opportunity37:49 Why Credit Beats Equity Now41:58 Megatrends and AI Fears44:40 Shelter and Multifamily Focus46:11 Community and Social Real Estate48:16 Real Estate Constant Evolution51:06 CRE Credit vs Direct Lending53:21 Final Wrap and OutroA Word from Our Sponsor, UltimusThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus, the full-service fund administrator and transfer agent powering asset managers in private and public markets.

Send a textLatinos are an economic powerhouse — and in this episode of The Global Latin Factor Podcast, host Crispin Valentin brings the receipts. Using publicly available data, we break down why Latinos are a major growth engine in the U.S. economy: U.S. Latino GDP ($4.1T in 2023), Latino consumption ($2.7T in 2023), workforce impact (19% of the U.S. civilian labor force / 31.8M in 2023), and Latino purchasing power ($4.1T). We also connect the dots on why major brands and sports leagues invest in Latino audiences—because money follows growth.Disclaimer: I'm not an attorney, financial advisor, or policy professional.

Hey folks, Alex here from Weights & Biases, with your weekly AI update (and a first live show of this year!) For the first time, we had a co-host of the show also be a guest on the show, Ryan Carson (from Amp) went supernova viral this week with an X article (1.5M views) about Ralph Wiggum (yeah, from Simpsons) and he broke down that agentic coding technique at the end of the show. LDJ and Nisten helped cover NVIDIA's incredible announcements during CES with their Vera Rubin upcoming platform (4-5X improvements) and we all got excited about AI medicine with ChatGPT going into Health officially! Plus, a bunch of Open Source news, let's get into this: ThursdAI - Recaps of the most high signal AI weekly spaces is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Open Source: The “Small” Models Are WinningWe often talk about the massive frontier models, but this week, Open Source came largely from unexpected places and focused on efficiency, agents, and specific domains.Solar Open 100B: A Data MasterclassUpstage released Solar Open 100B, and it's a beast. It's a 102B parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, but thanks to MoE magic, it only uses about 12B active parameters during inference. This means it punches incredibly high but runs fast.What I really appreciated here wasn't just the weights, but the transparency. They released a technical report detailing their “Data Factory” approach. They trained on nearly 20 trillion tokens, with a huge chunk being synthetic. They also used a dynamic curriculum that adjusted the difficulty and the ratio of synthetic data as training progressed. This transparency is what pushes the whole open source community forward.Technically, it hits 88.2 on MMLU and competes with top-tier models, especially in Korean language tasks. You can grab it on Hugging Face.MiroThinker 1.5: The DeepSeek Moment for Agents?We also saw MiroThinker 1.5, a 30B parameter model that is challenging the notion that you need massive scale to be smart. It uses something they call “Interactive Scaling.”Wolfram broke this down for us: this agent forms hypotheses, searches for evidence, and then iteratively revises its answers in a time-sensitive sandbox. It effectively “thinks” before answering. The result? It beats trillion-parameter models on search benchmarks like BrowseComp. It's significantly cheaper to run, too. This feels like the year where smaller models + clever harnesses (harnesses are the software wrapping the model) will outperform raw scale.Liquid AI LFM 2.5: Running on Toasters (Almost)We love Liquid AI and they are great friends of the show. They announced LFM 2.5 at CES with AMD, and these are tiny ~1B parameter models designed to run on-device. We're talking about running capable AI on your laptop, your phone, or edge devices (or the Reachy Mini bot that I showed off during the show! I gotta try and run LFM on him!)Probably the coolest part is the audio model. Usually, talking to an AI involves a pipeline: Speech-to-Text (ASR) -> LLM -> Text-to-Speech (TTS). Liquid's model is end-to-end. It hears audio and speaks audio directly. We watched a demo from Maxime Labonne where the model was doing real-time interaction, interleaving text and audio. It's incredibly fast and efficient. While it might not write a symphony for you, for on-device tasks like summarization or quick interactions, this is the future.NousCoder-14B and Zhipu AI IPOA quick shoutout to our friends at Nous Research who released NousCoder-14B, an open-source competitive programming model that achieved a 7% jump on LiveCodeBench accuracy in just four days of RL training on 48 NVIDIA B200 GPUs. The model was trained on 24,000 verifiable problems, and the lead researcher Joe Li noted it achieved in 4 days what took him 2 years as a teenager competing in programming contests. The full RL stack is open-sourced on GitHub and Nous published a great WandB results page as well! And in historic news, Zhipu AI (Z.ai)—the folks behind the GLM series—became the world's first major LLM company to IPO, raising $558 million on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Their GLM-4.7 currently ranks #1 among open-source and domestic models on both Artificial Analysis and LM Arena. Congrats to them!Big Companies & APIsNVIDIA CES: Vera Rubin Changes EverythingLDJ brought the heat on this one covering Jensen's CES keynote that unveiled the Vera Rubin platform, and the numbers are almost hard to believe. We're talking about a complete redesign of six chips: the Rubin GPU delivering 50 petaFLOPS of AI inference (5x Blackwell), the Vera CPU with 88 custom Olympus ARM cores, NVLink 6, ConnectX-9 SuperNIC, BlueField-4 DPU, and Spectrum-6 Ethernet.Let me put this in perspective using LDJ's breakdown: if you look at FP8 performance, the jump from Hopper to Blackwell was about 5x. The jump from Blackwell to Vera Rubin is over 3x again—but here's the kicker—while only adding about 200 watts of power draw. That's insane efficiency improvement.The real-world implications Jensen shared: training a 10 trillion parameter mixture-of-experts model now requires 75% fewer GPUs compared to Blackwell. Inference token costs drop roughly 10x—a 1MW cluster goes from 1 million to 10 million tokens per second at the same power. HBM4 memory delivers 22 TB/s bandwidth with 288GB capacity, exceeding NVIDIA's own 2024 projections by nearly 70%.As Ryan noted, when people say there's an AI bubble, this is why it's hilarious. Jensen keeps saying the need for inference is unbelievable and only going up exponentially. We all see this. I can't get enough inference—I want to spin up 10 Ralphs running concurrently! The NVL72 rack-scale system achieves 3.6 exaFLOPS inference with 20.7TB total HBM, and it's already shipping. Runway 4.5 is already running on the new platform, having ported their model from Hopper to Vera Rubin NVL72 in a single day.NVIDIA also recently acqui-hidred Groq (with a Q) in a ~$20 billion deal, bringing the inference chip expertise from the guy who created Google's TPUs in-house.Nemotron Speech ASR & The Speed of Voice (X, HF, Blog)NVIDIA also dropped Nemotron Speech ASR. This is a 600M parameter model that offers streaming transcription with 24ms latency.We showed a demo from our friend Kwindla Kramer at Daily. He was talking to an AI, and the response was virtually instant. The pipeline is: Nemotron (hearing) -> Llama/Nemotron Nano (thinking) -> Magpie TTS (speaking). The total latency is under 500ms. It feels like magic. Instant voice agents are going to be everywhere this year.XAI Raises $20B While Grok Causes Problems (Again)So here's the thing about covering anything Elon-related: it's impossible to separate signal from noise because there's an army of fans who hype everything and an army of critics who hate everything. But let me try to be objective here.XAI raised another massive Round E of $20 billion! at a $230 billion valuation, with NVIDIA and Cisco as strategic investors. The speed of their infrastructure buildout is genuinely incredible. Grok's voice mode is impressive. I use Grok for research and it's really good, notable for it's unprecedented access to X !But. This raise happened in the middle of a controversy where Grok's image model was being used to “put bikinis” on anyone in reply threads, including—and this is where I draw a hard line—minors. As Nisten pointed out on the show, it's not even hard to implement guardrails. You just put a 2B VL model in front and ask “is there a minor in this picture?” But people tested it, asked Grok not to use the feature, and it did it anyway. And yeah, putting Bikini on Claude is funny, but basic moderation is lacking! The response of “we'll prosecute illegal users” is stupid when there's no moderation built into the product. There's an enormous difference between Photoshop technically being able to do something after hours of work, and a feature that generates edited images in one second as the first comment to a celebrity, then gets amplified by the platform's algorithm to millions of people. One is a tool. The other is a product with amplification mechanics. Products need guardrails. I don't often link to CNN (in fact this is the first time) but they have a great writeup about the whole incident here which apparently includes the quitting of a few trust and safety folks and Elon's pushback on guardrails. CrazyThat said, Grok 5 is in training and XAI continues to ship impressive technology. I just wish they'd put the same engineering effort into safety as they do into capabilities!OpenAI Launches GPT HealthThis one's exciting. OpenAI CEO Fidji Simo announced ChatGPT Health, a privacy-first space for personalized health conversations that can connect to electronic health records, Apple Health, Function Health, Peloton, and MyFitnessPal.Here's why this matters: health already represents about 5% of all ChatGPT messages globally and touches 25% of weekly active users—often outside clinic hours or in underserved areas. People are already using these models for health advice constantly.Nisten, who has worked on AI doctors since the GPT-3 days and even published papers on on-device medical AI, gave us some perspective: the models have been fantastic for health stuff for two years now. The key insight is that medical data seems like a lot, but there are really only about 2,000 prescription drugs and 2,000 diseases (10,000 if you count rare ones). That's nothing for an LLM. The models excel at pattern recognition across this relatively contained dataset.The integration with Function Health is particularly interesting to me. Function does 160+ lab tests, but many doctors won't interpret them because they didn't order them. ChatGPT could help bridge that gap, telling you “hey, this biomarker looks off, you should discuss this with your doctor.” The bad news is, this is just a waitlist and you can add yourself to the waitlist here, we'll keep monitoring the situation and let you know when it opens upDoctronic: AI Prescribing Without Physician OversightSpeaking of healthcare, Doctronic launched a pilot in Utah where AI can autonomously renew prescriptions for chronic conditions without any physician in the loop. The system covers about 190 routine medications (excluding controlled substances) at just $4 per renewal. Trial data showed 99.2% concordance with physician treatment plans, and they've secured pioneering malpractice insurance that treats the AI like a clinician.Nisten made the case that it's ethically wrong to delay this kind of automation when ER wait times keep increasing and doctors are overworked. The open source models are already excellent at medical tasks. Governments should be buying GPUs rather than creating administrative roadblocks. Strong strong agree here! Google Brings Gmail into the Gemini Era (X)Breaking news from the day of our show: Google announced Gmail's biggest AI transformation since its 2004 launch, powered by Gemini 3. This brings AI Overviews that summarize email threads, natural language queries (”Who gave me a plumber quote last year?”), Help Me Write, contextual Suggested Replies matching your writing style, and the upcoming AI Inbox that filters noise to surface VIPs and urgent items.For 3 billion Gmail users, this is huge. I'm very excited to test it—though not live on the show because I don't want you reading my emails.This weeks buzz - covering Weights & Biases updatesNot covered on the show, but a great update on stuff from WandB, Chris Van Pelt (@vanpelt), one of the 3 co-founders released a great project I wanted to tell you about! For coders, this is an app that allows you to run multiple Claude Codes on free Github sandboxes, so you can code (or Ralph) and control everything away from home! GitHub gives personal users 120 free Codespaces hours/month, and Catnip automatically shuts down inactive instances so you can code for quite a while with Catnip! It's fully open source on Github and you can download the app hereInterview: Ryan Carson - What the hell is Ralph Wiggum?Okay, let's talk about the character everyone is seeing on their timeline: Ralph Wiggum. My co-host Ryan Carson went viral this week with an article about this technique, and I had to have him break it down.Ralph isn't a new model; it's a technique for running agents in a loop to perform autonomous coding. The core idea is deceptively simple: Ralph is a bash script that loops an AI coding agent. In a loop, until it a certain condition is met. But why is it blowing up? Normally when you use a coding agent like Cursor, Claude Code, or AMP, you need to be in the loop. You approve changes, look at code, fix things when the agent hits walls or runs out of context. Ralph solves this by letting the agent run autonomously while you sleep.Here's how it works: First, you write a Product Requirements Doc (PRD) by talking to your agent for a few minutes about what you want to build. Then you convert that PRD into a JSON file containing atomic user stories with clear acceptance criteria. Each user story is small enough for the agent to complete in one focused thread.The Ralph script then loops: it picks the first incomplete user story, the agent writes code to implement it, tests against the acceptance criteria, commits the changes, marks the story as complete, writes what it learned to a shared “agents.md” file, and loops to the next story. That compound learning step is crucial—without it, the agent would keep making the same mistakes.What makes this work is the pre-work. As Ryan put it, “no real work is done one-shot.” This is how software engineering has always worked—you break big problems into smaller problems into user stories and solve them incrementally. The innovation is letting AI agents work through that queue autonomously while you sleep! Ryan's excellent (and viral) X article is here! Vision & VideoLTX-2 Goes Fully Open Source (HF, Paper)Lightricks finally open-sourced LTX-2, marking a major milestone as the first fully open audio-video generation model. This isn't just “we released the weights” open—it's complete model weights (13B and 2B variants), distilled versions, controllable LoRAs, a full multimodal trainer, benchmarks, and evaluation scripts. For a video model that is aiming to be the open source SORA, supports audio and lipsyncThe model generates synchronized audio and video in a single DiT-based architecture—motion, dialogue, ambience, and music flow simultaneously. Native 4K at up to 50 FPS with audio up to 10 seconds. And there's also a distilled version (Thanks Pruna AI!) hosted on ReplicateComfyUI provided day-0 native support, and community testing shows an A6000 generating 1280x720 at 120 frames in 50 seconds. This is near Sora-level quality that you can fine-tune on your own data for custom styles and voices in about an hour.What a way to start 2026. From chips that are 5x faster to AI doctors prescribing meds in Utah, the pace is only accelerating. If anyone tells you we're in an AI bubble, just show them what we covered today. Even if the models stopped improving tomorrow, the techniques like “Ralph” prove we have years of work ahead of us just figuring out how to use the intelligence we already have.Thank you for being a ThursdAI subscriber.

For the past several years Germany has been deconstructing their fossil fuel energy production and replacing it with far more expensive alternatives.  This has led to large increases in overall energy prices, and downstream increases in manufacturing costs. The consequences have been snowballing throughout 2025, while cheap competitive alternatives coming into the EU from China have compounded their problem.  Recently a survey of major industries was conducted in Germany to determine the forecast for 2026, the results are not good. Approximately half of the industrial sectors in Germany are anticipating job losses, cuts or layoffs this year. 22 out of 46 business associations are preparing to downsize their labor force.  Only 9 of the 46 are expected to increase hiring.   Job losses are expected in auto manufacturing, the textile sector, wood and paper fabrication.  Job gains are expected in aerospace, shipbuilding and defense production – i.e. the war machinery. When the largest and most developed industrial economy in Europe is pinning its economic survival on war machinery, a particular momentum is created.  It is never a good outcome for Europe when Germany becomes reliant on war to maintain employment.

This pledge represents a fraction of historical U.S. contributions, which have reached up to $17 billion in recent years, with voluntary funding often in the $8-10 billion range. Administration officials describe the amount as sufficient to keep America as the world's top humanitarian donor while demanding greater efficiency from UN agencies. The funding will flow through an umbrella mechanism controlled by the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), allowing targeted distribution to specific crises and countries. Initial priorities include 17 nations such as Bangladesh, Congo, Haiti, Syria, and Ukraine. Notably absent from the list are Afghanistan and the Palestinian territories, with officials stating Gaza aid will tie into ongoing peace efforts. Source: discernreport.com  War/Peace Did US Land Strikes On Venezuela Begin Last Week & No One Knew It? President Trump on Friday in a radio interview disclosed something which missed the attention of the US and global media. He let slip that a large land site had been knocked out by a strike from US forces in the Caribbean – however without specifying which country was hit (whether Venezuela or perhaps Colombia). o  According to the full remarks in context, the president said: “But every time I knock out a boat, we save 25,000 American lives. It’s very simple. And what’s happening is they’re having a hard time employment-wise, they can’t get anybody. And we just talked out, I don’t know if you read or you saw, they [Venezuela] have a big plant or a big facility where the ships come from. Two nights ago, we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard. But drugs are down over 97 percent. Can you believe it?” Some unnamed American officials suggested to the New York Times that the Commander-in-Chief was referring to a drug facility in Venezuela: Trump did not name the location of the facility, though American officials told the New York Times that the president was referring to a drug facility in Venezuela that was eliminated. The president's comment is the only report of such an attack. No other Latin American government, including Venezuela, has disclosed a strike of this sort. : Source: zerohedge.com  Zelensky Wants 50-Year(!) Security Guarantee From Trump A major point of disagreement remains security guarantees. Ukraine has been pushing maximalist demands for something akin to NATO Article 5 protections. It would be like getting all the benefits of being in NATO but without being a formal member of the Western military alliance. The Ukrainian side has revealed that President Trump had offered security guarantees for 15 years following a peaceful settlement, but Zelensky considered this much too short to protect from future potential Russian aggression. But in classic Zelensky fashion, he wants way more than this. Also, maximalist demands are something that European leaders have backed him on all along – and they may have even put him up to. According to The Wall Street Journal: Kyiv had asked for security guarantees to last up to 50 years after the end of the conflict during weekend discussions. In the documents currently being discussed, the U.S. offered a 15-year guarantee with the possibility of extension, Zelensky said in audio messages to journalists on Monday.   Source: zerohedge.com  Russia accuses Ukraine of military attack on Putin’s residence: ‘state terrorism’   Russia is promising retaliation against Ukraine for an alleged military attack on President Vladimir Putin’s residence in the northern Russia area of Novgorod, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky deemed a lie intended to undermine peace talks, Reuters reports. . Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday that Russian air defenses destroyed all 91 long-range drones targeting Putin’s residence and that no one was injured and no damage reported. “Such reckless actions,” which Lavrov deemed “state terrorism,” will be answered with retaliatory strikes on targets in Ukraine, he said.

This year he focused on the country's youngest children and their families' need for high-quality child care.” The Obama administration was a gigantic money laundering operation. “The President explained the need in last Tuesday's address stating, “In today's economy, when having both parents in the workforce is an economic necessity for many families, we need affordable, high quality childcare more than ever.” “But the child care tax credit isn't all the President proposed.” “He would also significantly expand the Child Care and Development Fund(CCDF), a child care subsidy for low- and moderate-income families authorized under the Child Care Block Development Grant (CCDBG) Act. (CCDBG was reauthorized last year after 18 years.) By 2025, the proposed expansion would increase the reach of CCDF to an additional one million children, under four-years-old.” Taxpayers subsidies and grants for “childcare.” “The last part of the President's proposal, in typical Obama Administration-style, is a competitive grant that would promote innovation in the child care system. The proposed grants– totaling $100 million– would allow states to create pilot programs to determine the best ways to provide child care to vulnerable populations, including children with disabilities, parents who work non-traditional hours, and families who have difficulty finding high-quality child care.” https://newamerica.org/education-policy/edcentral/presidents-child-care-plan/ Taxpayers “grants” totaling $100 million (for starters) to be given to “vulnerable populations.” Can you say “Somali?” Taxpayers funding of “childcare,” was a “necessity” for the funding of the democrat party. The Somali community was always a hub of this “childcare” theft of taxpayers money. It was set up this way on purpose. A Somali community, governed by Somali's and protected by the democrat party. The Somali's were being brought into this country starting with the George W. Bush's presidency. But Obama began accelerating the number of refugees from Somalia along with other Muslim countries. Here's just the last year under Obama. “A total of 38,901 Muslim refugees entered the U.S. in fiscal year 2016, making up almost half (46%) of the nearly 85,000 refugees who entered the country in that period, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the State Department's Refugee Processing Center. That means the U.S. has admitted the highest number of Muslim refugees of any year since data on self-reported religious affiliations first became publicly available in 2002.” “Just two countries – Syria (12,486) and Somalia (9,012) – were the source of more than half of fiscal 2016's Muslim refugees. The rest are from Iraq (7,853), Burma (Myanmar) (3,145), Afghanistan (2,664) and other countries (3,741).” https://pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/10/05/u-s-admits-record-number-of-muslim-refugees-in-2016/ Obama was an installed puppet of Prince Alwaleed and was doing his bidding. Obama filled his administration with people tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, who were implementing their “civilization jihad.” These communities began electing corrupt representatives like Ilhan Omar. Infiltration not invasion. Taxpayers money was funneled into these communities through “childcare grants” and other “welfare programs,” in order to fund the democrat party. Minnesota is just the “doorway” into a much larger nationwide fraud scheme to fund the democrat party. A magnifying glass is about to be put on ALL state welfare programs that are receiving “federal funding.” These grants and benefits handed out to these crooks, are now the doorway to expose and bring them all to an end.

Specific cases vary by act. ‘Ten-year stain:' Bondi asks prosecutors to probe Obama-Biden lawfare as criminal conspiracy FBI Director Kash Patel penned a memo predicating an investigation looking at the weaponization of intelligence and law-enforcement powers dating to the Russia collusion case as an ongoing conspiracy. Attorney General Pam Bondi   asked the prosecutors to investigate the Obama-Biden era of lawfare as an ongoing election-meddling conspiracy that protected Democrats from criminal investigation and infringed the civil rights of Republicans like President Donald Trump and his supporters. An “ongoing conspiracy” and the statute of limitations Such an approach allows prosecutors to charge defendants with alleged crimes outside the statute of limitations because they were connected to an ongoing conspiracy, much like those cases brought against the mafia and drug cartels. “At my direction, our U.S. Attorneys and federal agents are actively investigating instances of government weaponization nationwide,” Bondi said. “This is a ten-year stain on the country committed by high-ranking officials against the American people.

They opposed the One Big Beautiful Bill because it funds ICE/US MIL, and they know Trump is going to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to their cities to assist ICE in deporting the illegals. If the Dems can't cheat in elections, they lose access to our tax dollars, and thus they lose all their power. They never cared about diversity, equality, equity, inclusion, immigration or any of that shit. It was all just a transaction. Everything they say and do is just a means to justify their treasonous scheme to steal our tax dollars. That's why it's so important to nuke the filibuster, pass the Save Act, invoke the Insurrection Act, deport all the illegals, and arrest everyone involved. If we don't, the Dems will take complete control, we will become a one-party State, and they will eventually phase us out via mass immigration. That's why the Dems have been trying to destroy, obstruct, and kill Trump, ever since he came down the escalator. Because they knew that he knew about all this, and is on a mission to stop it. The American People are being replaced, and the Democrats are directly responsible for it. This is the battle for the Republic.

Michael Pento, president and founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies (PPS), joins Julia La Roche for episode 299. Pento continues to warn of three unprecedented asset bubbles in stocks, bonds, and credit existing concurrently. Despite being net long and up handsomely this year, he emphasizes the critical need for active management. Pento explains why the next crisis will likely stem from spiking bond yields and intractable inflation rather than insolvency alone, making traditional Fed interventions ineffective. He argues that any meaningful correction would be catastrophic given the massive scale of current distortions, while the Fed desperately tries to keep bubbles inflated through rate cuts and resumed quantitative easing.This episode is brought to you by VanEck. Learn more about the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF: http://vaneck.com/REMXJuliaThis episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals.

Alistair Fulton has spent 25 years watching IoT make nearly every mistake possible - and he's not shy about calling them out. From incubating Microsoft's Azure IoT platform to quadrupling Semtech's IoT division to $300M revenue, he's learned one hard truth: brilliant technology means nothing if you don't understand the customer's actual problem. In this conversation: Why inflated market forecasts ($7T → $1.7T overnight) poisoned the industry The LPWAN wars and "one technology to rule them all" fallacy Why telcos completely failed at IoT despite owning connectivity How successful IoT companies don't even use the word "IoT" Regional reality check: US, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East Why AI is about to repeat IoT's worst mistakes His advice: work within existing industry players, not against them Blunt, pragmatic, and refreshingly honest about the gap between tech hype and business reality. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:13 Alistair's Background in IoT 00:42 Career Journey and Key Roles 03:06 Insights on IoT Industry Challenges 06:38 Early IoT Market Missteps 10:44 Collaboration and Ecosystem Building 11:18 Technological Wars and Lessons Learned 18:44 Current State of IoT 20:03 Naive Optimism and Realizations in IoT 21:10 The Shift from Tech Talk to Business Solutions 22:28 Challenges and Risks in IoT and AI 24:43 The Evolution of IoT and Industry-Specific Solutions 31:52 Global Perspectives: IoT in the US, Europe, and Asia 43:15 The Middle East: A Promising Market for IoT 52:45 Reflections and Future Outlook Video Podcast available on YouTube - and stay tuned for 15+ "60 Second Highlight" videos that will be released on YouTube over the next week.    

In this episode, Coinbase's Head of Research, David Duong, returns to the show and drops some massive insight bombs. He breaks down why the macro backdrop is setting up perfectly, why institutions could front-run retail, and why most traders are completely misreading the cycle. From Fed rate cuts to DAT fatigue, from Bitcoin NAV compression to the real reason $7T in cash might soon flood into risk assets, this one's a full-on macro + crypto masterclass. ~~~~~

Today, we unpack why ETH ETFs nearly matched BTC inflows in July and why digital asset treasuries (DATs) are hoovering up Ethereum like it's a Costco free sample day. Is this a real supply squeeze or just another hype cycle with better math? Avichal Garg (Electric Capital) joins to break down the MicroStrategy playbook, the premium-to-NAV trap, and how $7T parked in money markets + potential Fed cuts could turbo-charge crypto's next leg.~~~~~

On this week's Weekly Rollup, Ryan and David cover Tom Lee's $3B ETH buying spree at 12x Michael Saylor's pace, the race to become the top Ethereum treasury, and whether these companies are a buy or not. They also discuss the Roman Storm verdict, Trump's surprise $8.7T 401(k) crypto order, and Arthur Hayes selling millions in ETH. Plus, Base's 33-minute outage, the launch of Succinct's ZK prover network, and the SEC declaring liquid staking tokens are not securities. ---

Dale Smothers says it's a “powerful thing” that traders aren't running to the bond market for safety. “I believe this is all due to the optimism” around the America First agenda of the Trump administration. He thinks the S&P 500 will finish the year around 6,500, citing pent-up demand and $7T “on the sidelines.” He argues that the market is broadening beyond tech, “a very good thing,” and he would love to see “consumer discretionary climbing a little bit higher.” His picks include AMZN, AAPL, and JNJ.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-...Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-...Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/19192...Watch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplu...Watch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-net...Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Excessive government debt has contributed to inflation and is pushing interest rates higher.   The government continues to add to the debt by spending more than it receives. The US government receives about $5T in revenues annually. They spend about $7T per year.   Higher interest rates and increasing debt is increasing interest payments on the debt at unsustainable levels.    Many are concerned the debt will lead to a financial crisis.   The big question is how high can US debt go before it triggers a financial crisis?   Government debt is currently about $37T. This is 121% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).   Interest payments are about $1.1T annually. This is about 22% of annual government revenues.   Is the US at crisis levels? No. Not yet, but we are on an unsustainable path.   If interest on the debt continues to increase at current levels, interest payments will increase to about 30% of revenues in 5-7 years per Moody's.   If you have ever applied for a mortgage, you likely would have been declined if your debt to income ratio was above 30%. This is because lenders understand that if interest payments are too high, you are unable to maintain the payments.   The solutions are to increase income, reduce spending, or both. You already know this. You do this with your household budget.   The Trump administration is attempting to increase income via tariff income and reshore manufacturing to boost the economy (increase income).   The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is attempting to reduce fraud and wasteful spending.   Only in Washington is common sense considered radical.     The US government's lack of financial responsibility creates an opportunity.   This is the "Golden Era" of fixed assets.

Insured with guarantees.      - Your Personal Bank policies are insured, with guarantees, income tax-free, highly liquid, and likely to increase returns for the next 5-10 years due to higher bond yields.      - Fixed Index Annuities have the best upside potential in 40+ years with no downside market risk.

Eric Pan joins Diane King Hall at the NYSE set to discuss his investing outlook amid ongoing trade negotiations. He focuses on the $7T in money market funds that are sitting on the sidelines, saying any progress on trade deals could bring investors' dry powder back into the stock market.

Although I do not like Trump and Elon attacking each other, the conversation is very valuable and could lead to good results. Elon is bringing attention to the fact our government is taxing us too much and spending much of it on waste and fraud. The spending cuts are pathetic. The $1.5T in spending cuts is over 10 years. $150 billion per year in spending cuts is only about 2% of the approximately $7T annual spending. Our government increased spending 50% from pre-COVID levels. Our population increased 2% in the past 4 years. We need to push our representatives to do better. I don't believe it is too late to fix this. But this level of spending is unsustainable. The interest on the debt is currently about 25% of total government revenues and is rising rapidly. If you apply for a mortgage, you won't qualify if your debt to income ratio is above 30%. The interest on the debt is projected to increase to about 30% of government revenues in 5-7 years. The Trump administration is relying on future growth to fix the problem. Future growth is likely but not guaranteed. Spending cuts would definitely fix the problem. They would also help improve future growth. You already know this. If you have too much debt, you reduce expenses. If you can increase income, even better.

Matt and Nic are back for another week of news and deals. In this episode:  Is Bitcoin decoupling? The Fed rescinds anti-crypto letters from 2022 and 2023 Upexi raises $100m PIPE to invest in Solana Cantor, Tether, Softbank and Bitfinex inject $3.6b into 21 Capital, a Bitcoin acquisition vehicle Bitcoin ETFs versus bitcoin acquisition companies Trump is hosting a dinner for $TRUMP holders Charles Schwab wants to launch crypto trading Citi thinks stablecoins could reach $3.7T in supply by 2030  

Chris slams Republicans for loving Green New Deal subsidies, despite Trump's pledge to nix the Inflation Reduction Act. Wind and solar tax credits could hit $4.7T by 2050, he warns, calling out GOP “economic idiots” bought by the renewable lobby. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Is DOGE Good or Bad? Cutting large parts of unelected officials out of the government will probably be dad for many of them…and good for every other citizen in the long run. There will be a bumpy path to get there. Things will change. And if we keep spending $2 Trillion more than we bring in, the nation will fall. Social Security is already broke. Inflation is eating away your buying power. Household debt is over $18T, 3.6% is delinquent. $6.7T in government bonds must be rolled over just in 2025. Without DOGE we are already seeing the effects of large inflation. This can get much worse for the average family or we can cut the size, regulations and spending of government. The choice was voted on in the last election. The people chose cutting government & inflation.   www.RealPowerFamily.com Info@ClearSkyTrainer.com 833-Be-Do-Have (833-233-6428)

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Bipartisan criticism of Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's pick for Attorney General, as dramatic new details emerge about the allegations of sexual misconduct against him. Rep. Glenn Ivey of the House Ethics Committee shares his thoughts about the Gaetz nomination and whether we'll ever see the committee's reportedly scathing report. Plus, Trump makes good on his promise to let RFK Jr. "go wild" on health by choosing the vaccine skeptic and conspiracy theorist to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services. I'll talk about why Kennedy is a dangerous choice to lead the $1.7T agency with someone who has actually run it: Former Obama HHS Sec. Kathleen Sebelius. And The Other Americans. The latest John Leguizamo play that offers a new window on the Latino experience. Director Ruben Santiago-Hudson talks to me about this provocative new production. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

 The High Court agrees to hear Donald Trump's immunity case which backs up a key UniParty strategy: Convicting the former president OF SOMETHING before November. The court's decision isn't the important story. The media's meltdown in response to it IS. Listen as MSNBC plays its cards and admits the media's focus is helping Democrats defeat Donald Trump. It is not about news. Or information. Or truth. It is one focus only: DESTROYING TRUMP and the millions of Americans who support his agenda. PLUS Texas makes a major dent in Biden's agenda by winning a pivotal and watershed lawsuit against $1.7T in reckless spending.

3rd Week of February 2024 ------

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4bqijHA Markets traded modestly higher following global markets, particularly China, where broad indices closed higher by over 3%. Markets in China have given up over $7T in market value since peaking in March of 2021, and last night's move had less to do with actual news than I think it just did with an oversold bounce on potential stimulus. I do suspect there will be more from the government there to stimulate the economy and a severely over-levered real estate market sooner rather than later. Slower growth in China, means less Yuan to recycle back in US Treasuries, as that share of ownership continues to decline. There are still plenty of long-dated liabilities that need to be funded domestically with pensions and insurance companies and the like, but the supply this year will be massive with $8.9T in maturing Treasuries. Add on another $1T or more in deficits, and we will need to see over $10T absorbed in markets this year. This, along with the fact that government interest payments have already doubled from $350B in 2021 to now $700B, just has me skeptical that the Fed will continue to sell $60B a month with QT for a whole lot longer. It was less of a data-driven market day, other than a host of Fed President comments, which I will sum up to effectively ‘…yeah, what he said…' reiterating Powell's Fed policy comments last week about more time needed with rates.
