Live from London (Sept 16, 2026) | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 153)Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/ADBp2WNtUfkTrump just handed the Red Sea to Iran's proxies — so why is Yaron Brook filming a documentary at Karl Marx's grave instead of talking about it?Yaron Brook is broadcasting live from London — shooting documentary footage at Karl Marx's actual grave, at the original London Stock Exchange, and beside the statues of Adam Smith and John Locke — and he's not happy about what's happening back home. While he's been filming, the Trump administration has reportedly cut a deal letting Iran's Houthi militia choke off a global oil choke point and abandon Saudi Arabia entirely. Yaron calls it out for what it is: a strategic surrender that resurrects Iran from defeat. He also explains — bluntly — why he refuses to debate a popular anarchist YouTuber, why anarchism can never be Objectivism no matter what its fans call themselves, and why AI should face liability, not regulators.Then he opens the floor: Trump vs. Hitler comparisons, whether rights are contextual, where altruism actually came from, what "FU money" would really change about his life, and what it means to become American.Unfiltered, live, from London.

Matthew 13:10-17 | Adam Smith

KGMI's Adam Smith and Dianna Hawryluk chat about Improv and Dragons at the Upfront Theatre, Oktoberfest at Trackside, Run with the Chums in Birch Bay, the Lynden Whiskey Event and Pallbearer performing at Shakedown.

Welcome to a special, long-form collaboration: The Regrettable Century and VarnVlog combined in our Captain Planet team of pessimism. Today, we are opening up a comprehensive multi-part investigation into New York Times columnist Ross Douthat's landmark 2020 thesis, The Decadent Society: How We Became the Victim of Our Own Success. Drawing its name and conceptual infrastructure from Jacques Barzun's classic From Dawn to Decadence, Douthat's work defines a decadent society not as a spectacular moral collapse, but as an advanced state of structural stasis. It is a condition where a society remains remarkably wealthy off of past advancement and technologically proficient off of prior development—what Marxists would define as the crushing weight of dead labor—yet is fundamentally unable to advance any further economically, scientifically, or culturally. Douthat paradoxically kicks off his book by quoting Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci on the interregnum—the morbid symptoms that emerge when the old is dying and the new cannot be born. We seize on this crossover, exposing a fascinating systemic reality: modern post-liberal, distributist, and traditionalist conservatives are quietly haunted by the exact same structural trends that Marx tracked via the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. They observe secular stagnation all around them, yet must look to Aristotle, Ibn Khaldun, Adam Smith, or David Ricardo to describe it because they are ideologically barred from admitting Marx was right. We parse through the first major horseman of the book—Stagnation—and apply it to our 2026 material realities: The Let's-Pretend Economy: We re-read Douthat's pre-COVID evaluation of tech "unicorns" like Uber and WeWork. We map how this pattern of "let's pretendism" has seamlessly mutated into the massive generative AI and large language model (LLM) bubble—where over-inflated tech valuations run on billions of dollars of burning venture capital while generating zero real-world productivity growth. The Chip Monopoly Mirage: Why the only true driver of physical profitability in the Magnificent Seven stock cluster remains the actual commodity production of silicon chips, while the rest of the tech ecosystem functions as an elite real-estate leasing scam. The Demography Bomb: A preliminary look at the collapse of global social reproduction. We track why the aging out of the Baby Boomers and the severe contraction of global birth rates have left the imperial core, Europe, and China facing identical structural resource deadlocks. The Geopolitical Quagmire: How the escalating cost structures of the permanent arms economy prevent the Western core from manufacturing basic munitions efficiently, trapping modern empires into proxy-war management. We strip away the shallow, vibes-based discourse of the modern culture wars to map out the long-durée arc of a global system running out of track. Read the history, check the material baselines, and protect your peace.   Douthat, Ross. The Decadent Society: How We Became the Victims of Our Own Success.

I'm not going to give a Labor Day talk, but that's where we'll startLast year I felt it was important that I read Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations– Smith is sometimes referred to as the Father of Capitalism• he explored the principles of economics that caused some systems of flourish and others to flounder– one concern was the ways that governments interfered with industries and commerce• but something disturbed me as I read through his detailed research and conclusions◦ Smith took for granted that there would always be a huge mass of poor people◦ he saw this as the general pattern of civilizations from ancient history• there were always masters and slaves, emperors and subjects, kings and paupersHere are a few quotes I pulled from his work:Smith, “All for ourselves and nothing for others, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind. . . . As soon, therefore, as they could find a method of consuming the whole value of their rents for themselves, they had no disposition to share then with any other persons.”– “For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few [assumes] the indigence of the many.”– When the economy of a nation is static rather than increasing, wages for the workers are barely enough to raise a family or even continue the “race of laborers.” “. . . there is no order that suffers so cruelly from [a nation's economic decline as the poor].” However, the voices of the poor were rarely heard, except in when there were public demonstrations.

Matthew 12:22-37 | Adam Smith

María Blanco disecciona la obra de Adam Smith, que sigue siendo una referencia en la actualidad. Hace 250 años, un profesor escocés de filosofía moral publicó un libro que nadie esperaba y que cambiaría para siempre la forma en que el mundo entiende la riqueza, el comercio y la naturaleza humana. Se trata de Adam Smith, uno de los pensadores más influyentes en el mundo contemporáneo. Su legado está íntimamente ligado al liberalismo y funda la economía moderna. Esta semana, en Economía para Quedarte sin Amigos, celebramos el aniversario de La riqueza de las naciones con María Blanco, profesora de Economía y una de las mayores especialistas en Adam Smith en España. Repasamos las enseñanzas del libro que dio origen a la ciencia económica y que, dos siglos y medio después, sigue siendo más relevante que nunca. Lo primero que Smith hace en su obra es un giro copernicano: la riqueza no es el oro acumulado en las arcas del rey, sino el flujo de bienes producidos y llevados al mercado para ser intercambiados. Una definición que hoy suena a definición de manual de PIB, pero que en 1776 era una revolución. El mercantilismo que dominaba la época creía que el comercio era un juego de suma cero: para que una nación ganara, otra tenía que perder. Por el contrario, Smith demostró que era exactamente al revés. Cuando dos partes intercambian libremente ambas salen beneficiadas. Y no solo ellas: toda la sociedad mejora por ese proceso, porque el comercio transmite información, coordina la producción y genera prosperidad sin que nadie lo dirija desde arriba.Música Esta semana, el protagonista de nuestra selección musical es la banda británica Morcheeba. Y estos son los temas que hemos escuchado:"Rome Wasn't Built In a Day""The Sea""Otherwise"

The future depends on who leads it.For Episode 100 of Investing In Integrity, Ross steps away from the guest interviews for a solo conversation about a question he believes is becoming increasingly consequential for finance — and for society: Who is going to allocate the world's capital?Ross took inspiration from Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and thought deeply about the forces reshaping our economic system. Capital is increasingly concentrated. AI is transforming the work finance professionals do and may narrow traditional entry points into the industry. The bar for getting in, staying in, and ultimately leading is rising.For Ross, that makes the character of the people who earn those seats more important, not less.In this episode, he speaks directly to senior executives already allocating capital, mid-career professionals preparing to inherit greater responsibility, young professionals and SOF alumni in a transforming industry, and students working to earn their first opportunity. His message: Be the virtuous, wise leaders that our world desperately needs.Ross also shares some of the biggest developments at Scholars of Finance over the last six months: a $1 million challenge grant, a major innovation cycle the team is calling SOF V3, deeper investment in student leadership and professional development, and a vision for building connected communities of purpose-driven leaders inside the institutions shaping our economic system.One hundred episodes in, it's both a look at where finance is heading and a challenge to everyone in the SOF community to play their part in creating a better future.

“There's no exit in capitalism.” — Jeremy Adelman Is that ongoing quarrel of modern politics, the battle over capitalism, just a storm in a teacup? Economic historian Jeremy Adelman thinks it might be. In The Capitalist Era, Adelman argues that all camps — left and right, Keynesian and Hayekian, socialist and libertarian — accept the unavoidability of global capitalism. There is no alternative, as Mrs Thatcher used to annoyingly say. Although Adelman, certainly no Thatcherite, isn't celebrating the apparent inevitability of our capitalist epoch. What interests Adelman is the making and unmaking of what he calls the “global mind.” The revolutionary quality of capitalism, he says, is that we now think of strangers as somehow part of our community. So when Adam Smith, the moral philosopher father of economics, drank his Chinese tea while reading of a deadly earthquake in China, he recognized that capitalism inevitably entangled our moral thoughts with our self-interest. It wasn't just economists who began to think differently of strangers. Artists as varied as Picasso, Joseph Conrad, and the photography-obsessed Émile Zola all made this moral inquiry of strangers the heart of their work. Yes, Adelman is probably right to say there's no capitalist off-ramp in our post-global economy. But capitalism's octopus-like “global mind” and its (mis)treatment of strangers should turn all economists into moral philosophers and all artists into observers of economics. Five Takeaways •       The Mind, Not the Material. Against Sven Beckert's material history (which Adelman admired and reviewed in Foreign Affairs), The Capitalist Era studies how we think about capitalism — because the thinking sets the policies, creates the attachments, fuels the wars, and builds the institutions. Capitalism, on his dating, is an eighteenth-century invention that dawns with Adam Smith's “commercial society”: the first economic system to tie strangers across the whole planet into one interdependent web — global from the very start. Its founding text is a thought experiment: Smith's gentleman of humanity, drinking Chinese tea while reading of a Chinese earthquake, asked whether he minds the deaths of thousands as much as the pain in his little finger. The marketplace entangles our moralities — and the question of whether sympathy can keep pace with self-interest has governed the global mind ever since.•       No Exit in Capitalism. For or against? A fair question with a layered answer: we are all heirs to the Marxist tradition — inequality and exploitation are inherent to interdependence, and “the propensity to be predatory coexists with the propensity to be empathetic.” But the trap is real: “there's no exit in capitalism” — leaving is so punitive that every socialist revolution has paid catastrophically, a logic Adelman calls part of “the awful cunning” of the Trump administration's economic statecraft. Keynes versus Hayek? When Andrew suggested it amounted to a family squabble — a storm in a teacup — Adelman largely agreed: both camps accept that we live inside capitalism, arguing only over how to live interdependently. No exit, though, doesn't mean no alternatives: the argument worth recovering — lost since the globalization of the 1980s was “dumped on us” — is which form of interdependence we actually want. Gramsci's interregnum, the time for monsters, is exactly when that argument matters.•       The Veil Between Strangers. The book's gallery: not only philosophers but artists — Picasso, the poets, Borges (“I have a hard time writing any book without” him) — and above all photographers, because how we think about strangers is mediated through media. Smith's verb was to see: the stranger's invisibility was the whole problem, and photography — cheap to reproduce, claiming realism — promised to remove the veil. Zola was obsessed with it; street photography made New York and London legible as cities of vice and poverty; and the Opium War photographs that reached London in the 1860s forced a scandal, because this suffering was inflicted by our own troops. But seeing bred a new problem Smith never foresaw: indifference — too many images numbing the sympathies they were meant to awaken. In today's supersaturation of digital and artificially generated strangers, the early doubters' warning compounds: market interdependence plus growing indifference between the interdependent is “a recipe for calamity.”•       Earth Hunger. The charge that capitalism is eating the planet is as old as capitalism: the era of Hobson's Imperialism named the West's insatiable appetite to conquer and carve — “earth hunger” — after the Boer War. Joseph Conrad and Roger Casement traveled the Congo River together: Conrad turned it into Heart of Darkness; Casement wrote the first great humanitarian reports — rubber for Europe's bicycles and tires, extermination for the Congolese and then Amazonians — before renouncing the crown, joining the Irish rebellion, and hanging for treason. Slavery runs through the same river: on Smith's mind from the start, the plantation bonanza's awkward foundation, with dehumanization as extraction's precondition — a through line to the 1930s. To James Crawford's vanishing earth (last week's episode), Adelman offers a friendly dissent: the earth isn't vanishing, but the accelerating metabolism of resources — extracted inhumanely for those who live there — is stressing the system. Alternatives exist; exit does not.•       Hoard the Returns, Externalize the Burdens. Adelman refuses the apocalypse chorus: end-time arguments breed cynicism — grab what you can while you can — which is precisely what turned the 1930s murderous; and the great debate the 2008 crisis should have sparked was stifled by crisis management that worked too well. “Neoliberalism” he finds overblown — the world is a mixed, messy hybrid, China neither socialist nor neoliberal — and the Thucydides Trap is a “silly metaphor”: Sparta and Athens were never as interdependent as China and the United States. Hence the closing duel: Carney versus Trump as two arguments inside the global mind about how to need strangers. Trump, the Toronto-born historian argues, is no isolationist — his is a global vision that wants to “hoard the returns and externalize the burdens,” punishing the asymmetrically dependent (Canada above all) through a predator's bilateralism whose 1930s pedigree Adelman names with discomfort. And China? Sitting on the sidelines, courting Canada, playing “an old game” of constructing and dividing markets — as old as the global mind itself. About the Guest Jeremy Adelman is the Henry Charles Lea Professor Emeritus at Princeton University and professor of history and director of the Global History Lab at the University of Cambridge.

En mayo de 1734 se produjo un incendio en una casa del barrio londinense de Mayfair. Entre los escombros apareció un cuerpo calcinado hasta tal punto que era irreconocible. La justicia concluyó que era el dueño de la casa, un banquero irlandés retirado llamado Richard Cantillon, pero el caso no cuadraba. El fuego se había declarado en la habitación en la que guardaba sus papeles, los criados sobrevivieron todos y meses después desembarcó en Surinam un tal señor Savigni con documentos personales del difunto. La sospecha de que Cantillon fingiese su propia muerte para librarse de pleitos y acreedores no ha sido demostrada, pero tampoco descartada. Cuarenta años antes otro cadáver dio origen a la carrera del segundo protagonista. En 1694 el escocés John Law mató en duelo a Edward Wilson en Londres, fue condenado a muerte por asesinato, se fugó de prisión y se estableció en el continente. Law, hijo de un orfebre de Edimburgo, creció viendo cómo los recibos de depósito de su padre circulaban como si fueran oro, a partir de ahí dedujo que el dinero no vale por sí mismo, sino por la confianza que inspira. Durante veinte años vivió del cálculo de probabilidades apostando en timbas de naipes por toda Europa mientras estudiaba el funcionamiento del Wisselbank de Ámsterdam y del recién nacido Banco de Inglaterra. En 1705 propuso que se crease un gran banco nacional emisor de papel moneda. En Escocia e Italia rechazaron la idea, pero no en Francia, donde encontró un terreno fértil. Cantillon pertenecía a la nobleza católica irlandesa arruinada por las confiscaciones. Aprendió la lección contraria, solo es seguro el patrimonio que se puede mover rápido. Pasó por varias ciudades comerciales como Burdeos, Nantes y Cádiz y fue el primero en dar naturaleza económica al término empresario. Un empresario era para Cantillon todo aquel que compra a precios ciertos para vender a precios inciertos, luego, soportando esa incertidumbre, ajusta la producción a la demanda sin que nadie lo dirija. Esta es la primera descripción funcional del mercado medio siglo antes de Adam Smith. Francia puso el escenario a ambos. Luis XIV murió en 1715 dejando una deuda gigantesca que ahogaba al Tesoro. El regente, Felipe de Orleans, dio vía libre a Law, a quien conocía de las partidas de cartas. En 1716 fundó la Banque Générale, que compraba deuda incobrable del Tesoro y emitía dinero contra ella. Durante dos años funcionó realmente bien. En 1717 creó la Compañía de Occidente sobre el monopolio de la colonia de Luisiana. Más tarde fue absorbiendo el comercio exterior, la recaudación de impuestos, ciertos monopolios como el del tabaco y la Casa de la Moneda. El circuito se terminó cerrando en un bucle diabólico. El banco imprimía billetes, los billetes compraban acciones y las acciones sostenían la deuda. El precio de las acciones se disparó convirtiendo a muchos parisinos en millonarios de la noche a la mañana. El regente le premio nombrándole controlador general de Finanzas. Cantillon también estaba en París en esa misma época y participaba del esquema de Law, pero desde dentro. Prestaba a nobles para comprar acciones y se quedaba los títulos en prenda hasta que, llegado un momento, los vendió cerca del máximo y exigió el cobro en metálico. Salió de Francia con más de 20 millones de libras y apostó contra los mismos billetes que le habían hecho rico. Años más tarde explicó por qué lo hizo. Sabía que el dinero nuevo no sube todos los precios a la vez, beneficia a quien lo recibe primero y perjudica a todos los demás. A eso en economía se le conoce como efecto Cantillon. El sistema saltó por los aires en 1720 dejando la ruina tras de sí. Law consiguió huir, trató de convencer a otros soberanos para que hiciesen lo mismo, pero nadie confiaba en él. Murió pobre en Venecia en 1729 solo cinco años antes de que Cantillon desapareciese en Londres. El primero tuvo un humilde entierro en una iglesia veneciana, del segundo nunca más se supo. Para profundizar en estas dos fascinantes historias nos acompaña Marta Caniego, que las conoce bien porque las ha tratado en Relatos de la Historia.

On this episode of Virtual Sentiments, Kristen Collins talks with Osita Nwanevu, author of The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding, about the history, meaning, and future of American democracy. They discuss the distinction between republicanism and democracy, the compromises and contradictions of the American founding, and why the Constitution should be treated as a political document rather than an untouchable artifact. Nwanevu also examines the undemocratic features of contemporary political institutions, including the Senate, the Electoral College, and the filibuster, as well as the relationship between political and economic democracy. The conversation considers the role of unions and civil society in developing democratic capacities and the challenges facing workers in a changing economy.Osita Nwanevu is the author of The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding (Random House, 2025).

Chris lays out the basics of Adam Smith capitalism: voluntary transactions where both sides walk away satisfied. From buying cars to buying a sandwich, real capitalism is about creating value—not exploiting the person across the table.

Adam Smith introduced his concept of the "invisible hand" in the 18th century, offering a metaphor for how self-interest and competition guide a free-market economy. The case could be made that government policy is an increasingly crucial force in shaping markets today, particularly amid heightened geoeconomic competition and a resurgence in industrial policy. In this way, individuals and entities in both the private and public sectors can be "marketcrafters." PGIM's Daleep Singh is joined by Chris Hughes (Facebook co-founder, Chair of the Economic Security Project, and author of "Marketcrafters: The 100-Year Struggle to Shape the American Economy") for a discussion about government policy's role in driving markets and investment outcomes. They cover topics including: How the U.S. government has shaped markets through history Marketcrafting agendas that could address inflation and cost of living challenges An industrial policy framework targeting housing affordability and emerging solutions like modular homes The AI investment cycle and potential policy levers The Federal Reserve's influence on financial markets through its ample reserves regime

Matthew 12:1–21 | Adam Smith

Matthew 12:1–21 | Adam Smith

We're not home, but we're never outside God's reach and we have a story to tell. Reality Carpinteria pastor Adam Smith continues our summer series in the Psalms with a sermon from Psalm 107.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke sits down with Brianne Wolf to explore Adam Smith's enduring relevance for liberalism, political economy, and contemporary debates about markets and democracy. Wolf discusses her forthcoming book, Beyond Rights and Price: Liberalism with Taste, and explains how thinkers including Smith, Hume, Rousseau, and Tocqueville illuminate the role of taste, judgment, sympathy, and persuasion in sustaining a liberal society. Their conversation ranges from changing student attitudes toward inequality, expertise, and democracy to Smith's concern for the least advantaged, the relationship between the Scottish Enlightenment and the American founding, and the challenge classical liberals face in responding to critiques of capitalism. Boettke and Wolf also consider cosmopolitanism, the importance of local ties and civil society, and what the renewed attention surrounding the 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations can teach us about the liberal tradition.Dr. Brianne Wolf is Associate Professor of Political Theory and Director of the Political Economy minor at James Madison College at Michigan State University. Her current project, Beyond Rights and Price: Liberalism with Taste, explores the role of taste as a supplement to market relations and the legal framework of rights, fostering the moral possibilities of commercial society and the emotional connections between citizens that are necessary for a robust liberal politics.**This episode was recorded on July 28, 2026**Show Notes:Peter Boettke, The Struggle for a Better World (Mercatus Center, 2021)Carl Menger, “The Social Theories of Classical Political Economy and Modern Economic Policy”Bernard Yack, The Longing for Total Revolution: Philosophic Sources of Social Discontent from Rousseau to Marx and Nietzsche (University of California Press, 2022)Garry Wills, Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2018)Edward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Abridged Edition (Penguin Classics, 2001)Martha C.

Following the launch of the Cherries' new third kit, fans have been debating more than just THAT sponsor. The use of Bournemouth's alternative retro-style crest has led some supporters to question whether the club could be preparing to move away from the familiar Dickie Dowsett shield badge. But is there really anything to worry about? Or is this simply AFCB following a growing Premier League trend of using alternative crests and “dual branding” on kits and merchandise? We take a deep dive into the debate and ask whether the club could really be changing its identity. Head to https://www.beer52.com/NET and cover the postage to secure your free case of beer

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the difference between the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America is not significant—the DSA is the logical extension of the Democrat Party, which has birthed it and remains sympathetic to its core aims; most Democrats are comfortable with DSA figures in Congress, state legislatures, and governorships. This agenda of fundamentally altering constitutional structure and the economic system has defined the party since Woodrow Wilson, even if Democrats refuse the labels communist or Marxist and prefer softer rhetoric. Later, more billionaires would benefit the country because they create and spread enormous wealth rather than hoarding it, with capitalism redistributing prosperity through markets and supply-demand rather than failed top-down control driven by non-economic motives. More billionaires mean more capital, investment, jobs, incomes, pensions, medical care, and tax revenue; this is why Gov Ron DeSantis invites them to Florida to fuel construction, load banks with cash that is then lent out, and circulate money through the economy. Critics fail to grasp this due to jealousy, fearmongering, and preference for centralized power, yet the more billionaires exist, the more wealth and jobs are generated for more people, as even non-business wealth gets invested in banks, stocks, loans, and enterprises that support small businesses and employment. Afterward, ignoring Hayek, Friedman, Sowell, free-market economics, and individual liberty amounts to becoming Democrat Party light. True common good rests solely on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Enlightenment, with no connection to economic intervention; the intellectual foundation remains figures like Buckley, de Tocqueville, Adam Smith, Burke, and Locke, not online or TikTok content. Finally, the federal budget deficit is on track to surpass $2 trillion this fiscal year as spending outpaces revenue. Tax revenues increase by $139 billion, but spending increased by $308 billion. Increased spending driven by entitlement programs: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, in addition to servicing the national debt. Even with a 5-8% increase in revenue, the government can't stop spending money. And Democrats complain we're not spending enough! Democrats would destroy private health insurance and Medicare would collapse. The worry: economic turmoil leads to social turmoil. Learn more about your ad choices.

John Tamny, author of The Money John Tamny, author of The Money Confusion: How a Literacy About Currencies and Inflation Sets the Stage for the Crypto Revolution, provides an unconventional analysis of money, arguing that its only purpose is to circulate consumable goods as a product of specialized labor. Drawing on Adam Smith's principles, he asserts that wealth is created through the division of labor and that money is simply an agreement about value between producers. Tamny contends that current fears of "inflation" are misguided; he defines real inflation as a deliberate devaluation of currency by policy choice, such as the 1971 delinking of the dollar from gold. The book argues that the high prices seen after 2020 were caused by the economic destruction of lockdowns, not an excess of money. Tamny is highly critical of the Federal Reserve, claiming it has no real power over growth or interest rates for startups, as true credit always finds talent regardless of central bank fiddling. He uses Elon Musk as a recurring example of an innovator whose success in companies like PayPal and SpaceX was driven by venture capital and risk-takers rather than traditional banks. Tamny envisions a crypto revolution where private, stable money replaces failed government currencies. He suggests that the recent volatility in crypto is a healthy "shaking out" of the market, paving the way for mature, information-based money systems. He speculates that Musk may eventually use Twitter to launch a global, stable cryptocurrency, finally fulfilling the vision of a "global financial supermarket."

Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)1738

C Constable reports from France on the high heat and smoke impact near Bordeaux. The discussion shifts to surging energy prices, with Brent crude rising 26% and European gas up 36%. Despite high energy costs, rising copper prices suggest potential industrial growth. (1)Simon Constable and Jim McTague continue with a quiz highlighting that typical data centers use 300,000 gallons of water daily, while larger ones can reach 5 million gallons. Currently, most centers are urban, but 67% of planned facilities are rural. In Lancaster County, a "tale of two data centers" emerges as one town embraces the revenue stream while another resists it due to misinformation and fear. (2)Cliff May argues for maximum pressure and coercive diplomacy to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He advocates for a naval blockade, specifically targeting oil exports from Kharg Island to strangle the regime's revenue. May emphasizes that the Iranian leadership's ideology makes them likely to use nuclear weapons, necessitating a strategy to cripple the regime's power. (3)John Hardie and Bill Roggio cover the significant leadership change in Ukraine as General Drapatyi replaces General Syrskyi as commander-in-chief. Drapatyi is seen as a representative of a new, western-style generation of officers who embrace technological innovation and listen to subordinates. The transition aims to "desovietize" the military and maintain the momentum of successful drone offensives against Russian infrastructure. (4)Anatol Lieven examines how the Ukraine and Iran conflicts are merging into one global struggle following a Ukrainiandrone strike on an Iranian vessel. This escalation threatens global energy supplies of refined oil products, as Russianrefineries struggle with capacity. While Ukraine targets the Russian middle class to undermine support for the war, Lieven warns of a widening proxy war involving China, North Korea, and Iran. (5)Anatol Lieven turns to Britain's new political era under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is described as the Labour Party's "last chance" to address a discredited government. Burnham faces immense financial pressure, particularly regarding the costs of healthcare for the elderly and dementia. To succeed, he may need to pivot from "Net Zero" policies to prioritize energy needs and seek a new mandate through an election. (6)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett of MIT explain hierarchical merging, a process where black holes merge repeatedly to create larger "monsters." By analyzing gravitational waves from 155 binary pairs, they discovered that 14% are second-generation black holes, born from previous mergers rather than stellar collapse. These second-generation black holes are characterized by rapid spin and mass asymmetry, providing clues to how supermassive black holes form in galaxies. (7)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett continue: to uncover the origins of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, scientists propose building larger gravitational wave detectors scaled up by a factor of ten. These advanced observatories would allow researchers to peer further back into cosmic history, potentially detecting black holes from the very early universe. Expanding the global network to four or five detectors would help pinpoint host galaxies and detect the formation of heavy elements. (8)Arthur Herman recounts the historic 1896 meeting where Henry Ford pitched his internal combustion engine to a skeptical Thomas Edison. Edison's encouragement served as the catalyst for Ford's revolution in American transportation. This industrial transformation was further enabled by John D. Rockefeller, whose ability to lower oil prices made gasoline an economically feasible fuel for mass production. The segment also highlights George Washington's vision for a professional Continental Army. (9)Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)Arthur Herman characterizes Abraham Lincoln as a founder for his vision of an America without slavery and his willingness to risk the Union to fulfill the Declaration of Independence. His administration's legacy includes the Homestead Act and the Transcontinental Railroad, which expanded the "empire of liberty." Additionally, the Civil War era facilitated the rise of Andrew Carnegie, who later revolutionized the global steel industry using the Bessemerprocess. (11)Arthur Herman reframes the Gilded Age not as an era of greed, but as a period of unprecedented opportunity and connectivity driven by the railroad. James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway fostered regional prosperity and negotiated fairly with Native American tribes. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison's relentless competitiveness and "restless mind" led to the electrification of the nation and the invention of the phonograph, inspiring future generations of founders like Elon Musk. (12)Arthur Herman contrasts Woodrow Wilson's attempt to centrally manage industry during World War I, which resulted in logistical chaos and failure, with FDR's embrace of the private sector for World War II, appointing GM's Bill Knudsento lead mobilization. By relying on the incentives of the marketplace, Knudsen successfully converted American manufacturing into a massive war machine, producing more war material than the world imagined in just 18 months. (13)Arthur Herman presents Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder who refounded the American experiment by taking risks to fulfill the promise of equality. The segment explores the eternal conflict between the bold "founder mindset" and the cautious "manager instinct" that emerged in the 1950s. While managers seek stability and predictability, founders drive innovation and national greatness, preventing the American dream from becoming stagnant and stale. (14)Arthur Herman credits Vannevar Bush's "The Endless Frontier" manifesto with persuading FDR to fund basic scientific research through universities, laying the groundwork for Silicon Valley. This federal support enabled discoveries in information theory and microchip development, transforming the American economy. The evolution from massive mainframes like the IBM 360 to modern microchips illustrates the imaginative leap of founders who see opportunities where others see only current technology. (15)Arthur Herman concludes that today's founders, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump, continue the tradition of taking massive risks to fulfill bold visions. Musk's goals for SpaceX and Mars are described as a step-by-step process of industrial manufacturing and innovation. Central to this enduring success is the Patent Act of 1790, a unique constitutional protection that ensures individuals own the products of their minds, fueling 250 years of American discovery. (16)Corrections applied per the log: John Hardie (transcribed as "Hardy," segment 4) and Labour Party (UK spelling, segment 6). I also dropped the phonetic "(Chopati)" after General Drapatyi in segment 4 — that's Mykhailo Drapatyi, so the first spelling stands. One to confirm for the log: Kalin Plunkett (segments 7–8) — I couldn't verify this MIT researcher's spelling; if it's from audio, it may need checking against the MIT LIGO group roster.

Gavin Newsom accuses Trump of trying to rig the 2026 midterms. But even without Trump's most explosive claims, serious questions remain: outdated voter rolls, weak ID verification, ballot harvesting, foreign vulnerabilities, and a Congress that refuses to fix any of it. Then Hasan Piker calls Mao Zedong one of history's greatest leaders, ignoring the tens of millions who died under his regime — and Jillian asks whether that says more about him, or about the DSA's real agenda. Van Jones rips into the far-left agenda consuming the Democratic Party. Jillian dismantles the idea that MAGA and the DSA are equivalent.  Plus, Rep. Adam Smith admits threats, vandalism, and political intimidation shaped his vote on Israel. Are establishment Democrats confronting the radical wing inside their own party, or surrendering to it?
