Watch the full video on youtube here: https://youtu.be/-lRuFqXzfJU Andy Friedman: In Memoriam: A tribute to our beloved colleague -- Astronomer, Physicist, Friend https://youtu.be/lKo5Ed-_eSo Andy Friedman, Brian Keating and David Brin Many Worlds & The Multiverse: https://youtu.be/9oahwWBcg1A Three years ago our beloved colleague, Astrophysicist Andrew Friedman unexpectedly and tragically passed away. Andy was an outstanding science communicator and presented at many events with your host Brian Keating and other colleagues from the Arthur C. Clark Center For Human Imagination and UC San Diego. This is a replay recording of one of his last public appearences where he discussed one of his favorite subjects, Quantum Entanglement and Bell's Inequality. Einstein famously thought Quantum entanglement was impossible and called it spooky action at a distance. Dr. Friedman was a Principle collaborator on an experiment of such galactic scale that it was the subject of a PBS NOVA Feature documentary, Einstein's Quantum Riddle. Along with Andy's articulate explanation of the cosmic bell test experiment using distant Quasars, your host professor Brian Keating moderates a panel that includes Jason Gallicchio (Professor of Physics, Harvey Mudd College) and David Brin (physicist and Hugo & Nebula-winning author). As a testament to Andy's vision and science acumen, since this event, Andy's collaborator, Anton Zeilinger shared the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics with John Clauser and Alain Aspect, for experiments with entangled photons, further establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science. Their results have cleared the way for new technology based on quantum information profound implications.

In this episode of Human Capital, we talk with Andy Friedman, founder and principal of The Washington Update. Listen in as Friedman talks about the timing of the next stimulus bill, which is being dubbed CARES 2, and details which tax provisions could likely make it into the package.

Join us for a jaunt to Washington. We'll hear from CNBC tax expert Andy Friedman as he discusses how the goings-on in Washington could affect the financial services industry. What You'll Learn: 00:40 – How Will Washington Affect Your Finances? Joel shares an interview with CNBC Wall Street tax expert Andy Friedman. He discusses what we can expect out of Washington from a financial and political standpoint in 2019. 2:14 - The Impacts Of A Divided Government. Washington is divided, and the implications of this split is gridlock in Congress. Andy explains why we probably won't see many laws passed on tax reform, fiscal change, etc... 3:09 - What Effects Will Democrats Have On The House? The Democrats have taken control of the House of Representatives. They'll probably hold a series of oversight hearings that review administrative policies. The House's committees now have subpoena power, meaning they can force members of the Trump Administration to testify. These hearings will bog down any action as it pertains to passing policy. 5:28 - How Will The Public React To Washington Politics? Many folks are upset with Congress in general, and some are even more upset by the inaction. Conversely, some Democrats were angry before and are welcoming the possibility for change. 6:52 - What Good Comes Out Of This Congress? Many of these hearings will subject the financial services industry to scrutiny. Perhaps Congress will hold Wall Street accountable for any dubious activity. 8:58 - How Will The Markets Respond? The markets are volatile, and they're waiting to see what will come from the gridlock. The end of these political stories has yet to be written. 10:22 - How Does This Affect Your Retirement? Political turmoil can adversely affect your portfolio. Regardless of what happens on Wall Street, your fears alone can affect your retirement strategy. Put a financial plan in place that removes some of the volatility and emotion from your retirement equation. Find freedom from political and financial volatility. Final Thoughts: "Don't let political turmoil in Washington adversely affect your portfolio. Political storylines are still developing, and they don't have to take the joy out of your retirement.
