Tech leaders are warning against the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence potentially outpacing human control, and Washington is locked in a fierce debate over how to regulate the technology. Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins FOX'S Bill Melugin to break down his new bipartisan legislation designed to establish federal guardrails against rogue bots and cyber threats as officials look to implement guardrails while keeping pace with China. As the Federal Reserve meets to weigh a potential interest rate hike under Chair Kevin Warsh, persistent inflation and rising diesel prices continue to pressure the economy. FOX Business contributor and Barron's Investor Circle newsletter editor Josh Schafer joins to discuss why the central bank is considering this move to protect its credibility, how it could impact consumer borrowing costs and mortgage rates, and how President Trump might react to the decision.

Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo break down the collapse of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, the unanswered questions surrounding the failed deal, and whether Canada is protecting legacy industries at the expense of technology and long-term economic growth.They also examine Prime Minister Mark Carney's ambitious pitch to bring international capital back to Canada, including billions of dollars in proposed energy, transportation, infrastructure, and technology projects. But can a polished deal book convince investors to fund projects that have struggled to attract capital for years?Finally, Matt and John unpack the political battle forming around Anthropic's anticipated IPO, the growing influence of AI regulation campaigns, and Miro's dramatic fall from a $17.5 billion valuation.As Canada searches for a way out of its trade crisis, global investors are being asked to reconsider the country's economic potential. At the same time, AI companies are entering a political and regulatory battle that could determine who controls the industry's future.If you are a founder, investor, policymaker, or anyone trying to understand where capital and technology are heading next, this episode is worth your time.–A big thanks to our sponsor, Moomoo CanadaThis is the kind of tooling that used to live on a Bloomberg terminal, but now it is on your phone, just a few taps away.

Open an account today at moomoo.caWhy Canada-U.S. Trade Talks Fell Apart (01:31)The latest Canada-U.S. trade negotiations appeared close to producing an agreement until everything suddenly unraveled. John argues that the biggest problem is not simply the failed deal, but the Canadian government's refusal to clearly define what success was supposed to look like.With provinces reportedly objecting to parts of the proposed agreement and conflicting stories emerging from both sides, Canadians are left guessing about what happened. John asks the uncomfortable question: Is Canada protecting dairy and other legacy interests while sacrificing its technology economy?The Real Cost of Walking Away From the U.S. (07:43)Many Canadians support ending the negotiations, but that support begins to disappear when higher taxes, rising unemployment, and slower economic growth enter the conversation. John warns that Canada cannot reduce its dependence on its largest trading partner without experiencing real financial pain.That burden will not be shared equally. Older Canadians with homes, pensions, and U.S. investments may be able to absorb the disruption, while younger Canadians already struggling with housing and affordability have much more to lose.Carney's Plan to Bring Investment Back to Canada (10:18)The Canada Investment Summit is presenting more than 160 opportunities across energy, critical minerals, transportation, manufacturing, digital technology, and infrastructure. The goal is to reintroduce Canada to international investors after a decade in which global capital largely looked elsewhere.John supports the strategy but tempers expectations. The summit may not produce immediate checks, but it could rebuild the relationships Canada needs to finance major projects and reverse its reputation as an undercapitalized market.Anthropic's IPO Enters the AI Political War (16:15)A former Anthropic researcher's warning about self-improving superintelligence quickly spread across the internet, creating fresh questions about AI safety and the company's anticipated IPO. Matt examines whether the viral backlash emerged organically or was amplified by politically connected organizations pushing for tighter AI regulation.John believes there is no neutral position in the AI debate anymore. Competing groups are funding optimistic and catastrophic narratives, turning data centers, employment, regulation, and AI safety into deeply political issues. Despite the controversy, he does not expect the backlash to derail Anthropic's IPO.Miro's Collapse and the Continuing SaaSpocalypse (21:11)Miro was valued at $17.5 billion at the height of the software boom. Its reported acquisition by Bending Spoons at a fraction of that valuation shows how brutally the market has repriced venture-backed SaaS companies.Miro remains a substantial business with hundreds of millions in recurring revenue and a strong enterprise customer base. The problem was not the product; it was the inflated valuation and financing structure built around it. John expects more overfunded unicorns to face similar outcomes.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

The US–China AI War Just Got More Dangerous by Nick Espinosa, Chief Security Fanatic
USAF combat veteran, entrepreneur and technology investor Rob Cunningham returns to Michael Jaco with a direct message for President Donald Trump: America can win the AI race—but first, we have to make sure the machines can never take authority they were never given. Cunningham, a former Air Force pilot who flew combat missions during Desert Storm, has publicly offered to serve in an unpaid advisory capacity in support of President Trump's goal of making America the world leader in artificial intelligence. And he says he isn't coming empty-handed. Rob lays out a patented information-physics protocol that he says could fundamentally change how America approaches AI security by separating the enormous computational capabilities of AI and quantum systems from the authority to make sovereign decisions. His principle is simple: Govern the machine. Never allow the machine to govern us. Rob warns that without a new approach, America could enter a perpetual AI-versus-AI arms race requiring ever-larger data centers, enormous amounts of energy, escalating cybersecurity infrastructure and increasingly sophisticated autonomous agents trying to defeat one another. The stakes extend far beyond ChatGPT or consumer technology. Michael and Rob discuss the potential impact of autonomous AI across defense, intelligence, banking, cryptocurrency, energy, communications, supply chains, air traffic control, critical infrastructure, robotics and national security. Rob argues that America should establish the rules of engagement underneath AI itself—creating a sovereignty layer where computational power can continue advancing while unauthorized agency remains off limits. And he's challenging the government to test it. Rob says NIST, DARPA, the FBI, MIT, Caltech or America's highest-level national security teams should independently validate the technology, red-team it and determine whether his claims stand up. If it works, Rob believes the implications could be enormous—not simply for cybersecurity, but for America's ability to become the AI, crypto, energy and manufacturing capital of the world. Michael asks Rob directly what he would say if President Trump invited him to Mar-a-Lago and gave him the opportunity to make his case. His answer sets up the heart of this episode: Test it. Try to break it. Validate it. Then decide whether America should make it the standard. The AI revolution isn't coming someday. It's already here—and Rob Cunningham believes America has an opportunity to define the architecture that governs it before someone else does. The country that establishes sovereignty in the AI era won't simply compete in the AI race. It could define the rules under which that race is run. Wakey Wakey America. Stay informed. Stay sovereign. Stay in the love vibrations. Connect with Michael Jaco Stay connected with Michael for the latest shows, intel, wellness resources, courses, events and more.

today we explore the evolving competitive landscape of artificial intelligence in 2026, highlighting a transition from raw power to speed and rapid iteration. Major tech entities like OpenAI, Google, and Meta are pursuing distinct strategies, such as embedding AI into existing ecosystems or championing open-source models to commoditize the industry. This environment is further complicated by the rise of Small Language Models, which offer cost-effective and specialized alternatives for on-device and enterprise use. NVIDIA remains a dominant force through vertical integration, positioning energy efficiency and integrated hardware-software stacks as the ultimate barriers to entry. Additionally, the shift toward autonomous AI agents and coding-centric capabilities is now the primary driver of developer momentum and market narrative. Finally, the sources note that regulatory pressures and national security directives are increasingly shaping how quickly these innovations are adopted across global and governmental sectors.
War in the Middle East, soaring energy prices and upside risks to inflation are clouding the financial stability outlook for the euro area. How resilient are banks and markets? Are investors underestimating geopolitical risks? And how exposed is the financial system to stretched asset valuations?

With Scott Hennen still navigating the fjords of Norway, guest host Greg Steeman takes the reins for a deep dive into the engine room of North Dakota's economy and national security. This episode tackles the "necessary evil" of the Iran conflict and its impact on the $4 gas prices hitting local families. Steeman is joined by Public Service Commissioner Sheri Haugen-Hoffert to demystify the surge of massive data centers across the state—addressing concerns over water usage and "strangled energy." The conversation then shifts to the soil with Ag expert Bridget Riedel and drainage specialist Levi Otis, who provide a blunt look at the "asset leak" facing farmers and the historic high-stakes decisions being made in the livestock market. Finally, David Fisher of Landmark Capital sounds the alarm on a brewing $39 trillion debt crisis and explains why the world's elite are quietly pivoting to gold and silver. Standout Moments & Timestamps 00:02:10 – Poking the "Big Blue Bear" Greg Steeman and Kevin Flynn discuss the tactical necessity of the Iran conflict. Kevin warns radical factions that they have "poked the bear" too long, arguing that surgical strikes are the only language the regime understands. 00:08:15 – Data Centers: North Dakota's New Buzzword Public Service Commissioner Sheri Haugen-Hoffert clears the air on data centers. She explains exactly what the PSC regulates (transmission lines) and what they don't (noise and citing), while Kevin reveals the surprising truth about water recycling at the Harwood facility. 00:14:40 – The AI War with China The team addresses listener concerns about "massive" data centers. Greg notes that the U.S. is currently in a high-stakes AI war with China, making local infrastructure a matter of national security rather than just "curing cancer" scenarios. 00:20:42 – The $400,000 Combine Crisis Ag expert Bridget Riedel highlights a staggering economic disconnect: farmers are dealing with 2015 commodity prices but paying 2026 input costs, noting that a used combine that cost $187k three years ago now fetches $400k. 00:26:05 – 228 Tires and a Decision to Run A lighthearted but telling moment where Bridget shares that the average U.S. farm maintains 228 tires. This leads to a heavy discussion on whether aging cattle producers should "take the money and run" during historic market highs or risk a 700-head expansion during a drought. 00:31:22 – Managing the Water Table Levi Otis of Deep Roots Drainage breaks down the "science of the sponge,"…

In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau pull back the curtain on the fairy tales of Western geopolitical and technological independence, arguing that Europe is sleepwalking into a decade of industrial decline and techno-vassalage because it has allowed its core innovation to be hollowed out by Silicon Valley, while simultaneously failing to acknowledge the reality that its own energy security and economic survival will ultimately force a desperate reconnection with Russia, even as China successfully weaponises Western sanctions and digital isolation to leapfrog a generation ahead in the global AI war.

The Pentagon has spent years building AI tools to help identify targets, speed up battlefield decisions, and make war more “efficient.” What started as an effort to analyze drone footage has grown into something bigger and much more unsettling. Sean talks with Bloomberg's Katrina Manson about Project Maven, the Defense Department's long-running push to bring AI into warfighting. They discuss how these systems actually work, what “human in the loop” really means, why autonomy is no longer some far-off sci-fi scenario, and what happens when the speed and scale of machine decision-making collide with the fog of war.

This episode examines the 2026 conflict involving Iran, highlighting a transformative shift toward artificial intelligence in modern warfare. This "AI war" features the massive deployment of deepfakes and synthetic media to manipulate public perception and conduct psychological operations. Beyond information control, the military relies on AI-driven targeting software and autonomous systems, which critics warn can lead to devastating civilian casualties and ethical crises. The conflict also targets physical technological infrastructure, such as data centers and the supply chains for liquid helium essential for semiconductor production.

At the same time, the Air Force is running AI-powered war games, Space Force is planning for 2040 conflicts, and the Pentagon is asking for a $1.5 TRILLION budget to keep it all moving.Oh—and Rangers are still winning everything, Marine snipers are stacking trophies, and the Army is already planning the next generation of aircraft (hopefully without repeating past mistakes).Peaches keeps it blunt: some of this is progress… some of it is overdue… and some of it better be done right—or people pay for it.Bottom line: the scale is getting bigger, the tech is getting faster, and the margin for error is shrinking.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Daily Drop—Let's Get Into It 01:00 Army's Next Aircraft—Don't Screw This Up 03:00 Chinooks Launching Drone Swarms 05:00 Smuggling Case—Career Ender 07:00 Cadets Credit Training That Saved Lives 09:00 Navy Intercepts Blockade Runner 11:00 296 Days at Sea—That's Brutal 13:00 Carrier Fire—Still Operating 15:00 Marine Pilot Betrayal Case 17:00 OTS—Train With Intent 19:00 AI War Games Go Live 21:00 Space-Based Radar Push 23:00 Recruiting Goals CRUSHED Early 25:00 $3.2B for Readiness 27:00 Space Force 2040 Vision 29:00 Arctic Cutters Headed North 31:00 Killing DoD Unions? 33:00 $1.5 Trillion Budget Debate 35:00 Ceasefire… Maybe 37:00 Final Thought—No Room for Error

Across the battlefields of Ukraine, Gaza and now Iran, artificial intelligence is reshaping how wars are fought.AI is helping militaries process intelligence, identify targets and make decisions at a rapidly accelerating pace. Some believe this is the beginning of an AI revolution in warfare - one that could eventually lead to autonomous weapons and algorithmic battlefields. So how far has this transformation already gone? Is Iran the first AI war and is the world ready for what's coming? On this episode of The Fourcast, Ciaran Jenkins is joined by Emelia Probasco, who was a Navy officer, later worked in the Pentagon and is now a senior fellow at the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, and Arthur Holland Michel, an AI researcher and journalist.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I cover Oracle's Q2 results.Highlights00:19 — One of the hottest Cloud Wars Top 10 companies right now is Oracle. And I want to talk today a little bit about Oracle's Q2 results from last week. I think there's been a little bit of the fog of war, the fog of AI war specifically here, that has obscured the impact behind what's really going on with Oracle's numbers.01:06 — Let's look at Oracle's RPO (remaining performance obligation) results from Q2. RPO rose 433% to $523 billion. Far bigger than any RPO any other company has in the last three months, due in large part to deals with NVIDIA, Meta, and others not named. These are hard and fast numbers about where Oracle's business is headed in the future02:36 — What's going on elsewhere? The biggest cloud vendor in the world, Microsoft, its most recent RPO numbers went up 51% to $392 billion. Those are remarkable numbers. Looking forward, customers around AI and cloud are giving far more of their contracted future business to Oracle than to Microsoft.04:06 — Oracle's OCI cloud business is bigger than its applications business. Its Autonomous Database revenue rose 40%, and its multi-cloud business is up 817%. That number is a little misleading, because the business is relatively new, but I don't know anybody out there who would not want to have businesses growing at 817%.04:45 — I've been focusing a lot on RPOs for the last two and a half years or so. It's a great indicator of where customers are committing their money for the future. These big contracts that have signed are going into the past. Nothing wrong with that, but that reflects where the money in the past has gone. RPO is showing the future. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

China's AI War Planning Focuses on Deception, Raises Global Thermonuclear Risk — General Blaine Holt — General Holt examines China's PLA war planning, which prioritizes using artificial intelligence for grand deception operations. He argues that fifth-generation warfare, leveraging deepfakes and large language models, is potentially more destructive than nuclear weapons. Holt warns that autonomous AI systems adjudicating warfare decisions—analogous to WarGames—represents a probable future scenario. He assesses NATO as "slow and archaic," underscoring the urgent need for advanced indicators, warning systems, and diplomatic frameworks to manage emerging technological threats. NOVEMBER 1973
