Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Gates

#616: Two school teachers in Ohio saved their entire lives for one dream — buying a farm. When they inherited $1.3 million and found the perfect property for $1.2 million, everything seemed perfect. Five days before closing, they received what looked like a legitimate email from their closing company with wire transfer instructions. They sent the money and showed up at closing, only to discover they'd been scammed. The email was fake, sent by hackers who had infiltrated the closing company's servers for months, waiting for exactly this type of high-value cash deal. That story comes from cybersecurity expert Dr. Eric Cole, who joins us to explain why ordinary people have become prime targets for cybercriminals. Cole, a former CIA hacker who served as cybersecurity commissioner under President Barack Obama and advises high-profile clients including Bill Gates' personal estate, has a message: if you think you're too small to be targeted, you're wrong. While billion-dollar companies deploy teams of 60 cybersecurity professionals, you have virtually no protection. Criminals know this. They're not trying to steal $100 million from one person anymore — they're stealing $50 from thousands of people every month. You probably won't notice the small amounts vanishing from your accounts. Cole calls it "death by a thousand cuts," and it's happening right now. We talk through the most common attacks targeting your money. Bank hacking is simpler than most people realize. All criminals need is your account number — printed on every check you write — and your password. With that information, they can often perform electronic fund transfers of up to 50 percent of your account balance without triggering alerts. Cole explains how phishing schemes have evolved beyond simple email scams. Criminals now use artificial intelligence to mimic voices, calling grandparents with their grandchild's actual voice asking for bail money. Ransomware has become a massive business operation. Cole describes a company in Russia with 700 employees whose entire business model is encrypting people's files and demanding payment. Cole advocates for going old-school on major financial transactions. When buying real estate, he meets face-to-face, brings certified checks, and refuses to trust email wire instructions. For daily security, he recommends turning on two-factor authentication for every account, setting up instant notifications for any account activity, and dramatically reducing the number of apps on your devices. We also cover the China-TikTok connection, secure messaging options, and why Cole helped configure President Obama's smartphone to connect to fake cell towers that masked his actual location. Cole's bottom line: cybersecurity isn't just for tech companies anymore. Criminals are targeting ordinary people because we're easier prey than heavily protected corporations.

A Note from James:Michael Dell. Founder of Dell. I remember in college, hearing about this kid who was building computers in his dorm and making millions. I thought it was a myth. It wasn't. He's the real thing—and he just kept going.I wanted to understand what drove him, what it felt like to deal with Carl Icahn trying to wrestle his company from him, and what success feels like after decades of being in the game. Also: I had to ask why Dell didn't invent Google. That, plus how he's now thinking about AI, cancer, and what “focus” really means.Episode Description:James Altucher sits down with Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, to trace the entire arc of Dell's career—from building computers in a college dorm room to defending his company against Carl Icahn and taking it private. In this candid conversation, Dell shares how early obsession with tech and business turned into a multibillion-dollar global enterprise, the lessons he's learned about leadership, and how he's positioning for the future with AI, cybersecurity, and gene tech on the horizon.This is more than a business story. It's about risk, conviction, reinvention—and knowing when to walk away from Steve Jobs.What You'll Learn:How Dell's dorm-room business scaled to $80,000/month before he even left collegeWhat Michael Dell really thought during his showdown with Carl IcahnWhy most big companies fail to innovate—and how to keep a startup mindsetHow Dell Technologies is preparing for the explosion in AI and edge computingWhat makes a good leader at the head of a $100 billion companyTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] James introduces Michael Dell and the origin story of Dell Computers[01:00] The economics of building PCs in the early 1980s[03:00] Winning state bids with a bike and a dorm room[05:00] Pressure to become a doctor—and the 10-day “intervention”[10:00] Meeting Steve Jobs and licensing DOS from Bill Gates[13:00] Dell's early B2B focus and international expansion[15:00] Going public and the Icahn showdown[18:00] How activist investors play poker with billion-dollar stakes[21:00] What focus really means in business[24:00] Defining leadership at global scale[26:00] Encouraging innovation inside massive companies[28:00] The failed Mac OS licensing deal[30:00] Philanthropy, education, and urban poverty[33:00] COVID lockdowns and a $100M response[35:00] The future of work and city migration[39:00] AI, edge computing, and exponential data[42:00] Gene editing, mRNA vaccines, and solving cancer[45:00] Blockchain in enterprise (no bitcoin on Dell's balance sheet—yet)[47:00] Why cybersecurity is an arms raceAdditional Resources:Play Nice But Win – Michael Dell's memoir (Amazon)Dell Technologies – Official websiteJudge rejects Icahn's move on Dell buyout – CT InsiderRichard Florida on the future of cities – Vital City NYC interviewWhat is CRISPR? – Broad InstituteHistory of MS‑DOS – WikipediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On May 30, 2025, the FDA sent a letter of approval to the pharmaceutical company Moderna to manufacture and sell its new COVID-19 vaccine.1 But even more dismaying, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the world's most prominent advocate for vaccine safety, has now gone out on a political limb and committed himself to promoting Moderna's latest version of the mRNA Covid jab.2 In doing so, Kennedy is supporting the continuation of the world's most lethal medical or wartime assault on humanity, one that many see as a bioweapons attack on America by the globalists, including Communist China.   There are more than 38,000 reports of death to date to the CDC and FDA from the COVID-19 vaccines. Nothing like this catastrophe has ever before happened in medicine or public health. In addition, there is a deluge of reports and independent studies verifying the almost infinite harms caused by these mRNA vaccines. These harms include infertility, a declining birth rate, multiple harms to infants and mothers, cardiovascular disorders, including myocarditis in children and strokes in adults, tumors, a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which results in greater susceptibility to infections and cancer. But for every reported death and other serious adverse event, we know that there are more than 100 actual deaths or harms. These “vaccines” are killing and maiming millions in America and millions more around the world.3   Here is Kennedy's entire defense of his atrocious actions:     Actually, there is nothing “limited” about the approval letter. The letter specifically empowers Moderna to manufacture and distribute the drug. They will go ahead with this before completing any additional studies supposedly promised to Kennedy, which would take years more. Besides, once a drug company has spent multi-millions getting a drug approved, as they have already done, I've never seen a company actually complete additional studies that could invalidate their drug. Moderna's survival is at stake, and drug companies don't commit economic suicide. And this one has the backing of Bill Gates!   Kennedy has broken many recent promises to get himself into this bizarre situation of betraying his previously voiced ideals. He is approving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine without so much as a placebo-controlled clinical trial or even a review by the FDA Vaccine Committee. On top of that, pregnant women are not protected as he promised to do. But worst of all, he has never even promised to stop the heavily documented murder of the elderly who are killed by the mRNA covid vaccines at a rate of eight times more than the rest of the population.4   Many of us will remain eternally grateful for RFK, Jr's support for Donald Trump's election campaign. But now he must resign or be removed.   Kennedy's acceptance of the FDA's approval of Moderna's Covid vaccine is more than sufficient reason to fire him. But in addition, he is also grossly undermining the Trump administration and literally threatening the well-being of all our citizens by advocating the use of extremely dangerous neurotoxins, including methylene blue, MDMA or Ecstasy, and psychedelics. Trump's choice for Surgeon General, based on Kennedy's recommendation, is devoted to psychedelics! It's as if  RFK, Jr. has become a toxic mole within the America First movement.   For an in-depth scientific analysis and presentation about everything in this synopsis, please read the full article: RFK, Jr. blatantly supports the mRNA COVID shots and must be forced to resign - Full Article   End Notes:   1 May 30, 2025 Approval Letter – MNEXSPIKE   2 Secretary Kennedy on X: “I want to address those of you who have anxieties about @US_FDA's limited approval of a new mRNA COVID vaccine for high-risk populations. Moderna has agreed to a true placebo-controlled trial of the new vaccine, which is similar to the existing mRNA vaccine but uses a smaller” / X. Actually, there is nothing “limited” about the approval letter. Besides,  once a drug has spent multi-millions getting a drug approved, I've never seen one fulfill a promise to do studies that could invalidate their drug.   Besides, if a study of safety is still needed, it's ridiculous to put off until after it's been approved, by which time many could be harmed.   3 New FDA Plans for the Covid Vaccines Will Kill Millions More   4 New FDA Plans for the Covid Vaccines Will Kill Millions More   ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

How do you build a high-performance culture without turning your company into the Hunger Games? Reed Hastings, co-founder and former CEO of Netflix, shares lessons from a career spent rewriting the rules—from severance as a management tool to “big-hearted champions who pick up the trash.” In this episode, he reveals how Netflix scaled trust, made bold bets before the data was in, and kept its edge by treating employees like adults—not assets. You'll hear how Hastings evaluates talent beyond the interview, the reason he avoids performance improvement plans, and what most leaders misunderstand about judgment, feedback, and innovation.  You'll also hear why he placed a $100 million bet on House of Cards with no pilot, how Drive to Survive changed an entire sport, and why Squid Game caught even Netflix by surprise.  Now focused on a new chapter—owning a ski mountain, reshaping education through AI tutors, and supporting charter schools—Hastings is still doing what he does best: building systems that scale culture, not just product.  If you care about performance without politics—or culture without the clichés—this is a blueprint from one of the clearest thinkers in modern business.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: (3:09) Powder Mountain, Skiing Industry, & Buying a Mountain (6:36) Setting Culture in an Organization (9:21) Hiring Process and Evaluating Candidates (14:24) Netflix's 2009 Slide Deck Release (16:26) Talent Density and Performance Culture (17:59) Loyalty and Team Building (19:56) Severance Packages (22:17) Process Vs.

The aviation industry and climate change: what are contrails?  A 2022 IPCC report found that direct GHG emissions from the transport sector accounted for 23% of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019. Road vehicles accounted for 70% of direct transport emissions, while 1%, 11%, and 12% of emissions came from rail, shipping, and aviation, respectively. As the mounting effects of climate change continue to be felt worldwide, the aviation industry is pioneering a method to reduce its contributions. Namely, it is focusing on efforts to curtail condensation trails – or contrails – which are fluffy, white cloud formations that sometimes appear as airplanes fly through the cold, humid, and icy parts of the atmosphere. Because they are a combination of soot, water vapor, and particulate matter (such as NOx), when aircrafts pass through these areas, they form cirrus clouds that absorb the radiation escaping from the surface, and, in turn, trap the heat. This phenomenon could account for around 35% of aviation's total contribution to climate change — that's about 1 to 2% of overall global warming! Together, these contrails roughly triple the total global warming impact of aviation compared to CO2 alone. Therefore, it is imperative that the aviation industry find solutions to reduce the production of contrails. What the industry has come up with: 3 solutions One method of reducing contrails consists of replacing traditional fuels with biofuels made from plant or animal biomass, waste, sugars and ethanol (corn). Sustainable jet fuels can produce 50%-70% fewer contrails according to research conducted by NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Jets using alternative fuels release fewer soot particles, thereby creating fewer ice crystal formations, which ultimately reduces contrail production by extension. Though biofuels may initially form larger crystals, they fall more quickly and melt in the warmer air below.The second method involves developing electric or hydrogen-powered commercial aircrafts. Hydrogen is an attractive alternative to traditional aircrafts because it can be burned without emitting CO2 and is widely available. These aircrafts would either burn liquid hydrogen directly into their engines, or use gaseous hydrogen in a fuel cell system. With fuel cells, the hydrogen creates an electrochemical reaction that produces electricity to charge the aircraft's batteries while in flight. A third method involves redirecting flights to avoid contrail-inducing zones. Between 2% and 10% of all flights create around 80% of the contrails, so researchers have started developing predictive models that would allow airlines to identify and avoid contrail regions similarly to how they plan to avoid turbulence. The cost is predicted to be $0.5/ ton of CO2 equivalent. Furthermore, only minor adjustments to the routes of a small fraction of airplane flights is required, making predictive models highly attractive and cost effective. Some ChallengesWhile biofuels have great potential, they come with their own set of challenges. First is the issue of land use and its effects on agriculture. Producing three billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel would require between 8 and 11 million acres of corn or 35 and 50 million acres of soybeans, depending on crop yields. This could impact food production and cost. Shifting to corn or soybean based fuels has also been found to produce significant adverse emissions impacts. Lastly, it's unclear whether sustainable fuels can meet the world's growing demand for aerial transportation.   While hydrogen is attractive, it has lower energy density than fossil fuels, meaning that a higher onboard fuel storage volume is needed to cover the same distance as current fossil fuel-powered aircrafts. In addition, H2-powered large passenger planes would require significant changes to aircraft design, making it less cost effective in the short term when RD&D costs are considered (development of fuel cell technology and liquid hydrogen tanks, aircraft research, hydrogen infrastructure, fleet output, etc). Industry experts anticipate that it will take 10 to 15 years to make these important advancements. Lastly, contrail prediction models rely on a variety of input data, including flight trajectories, aircraft and engine parameters, fuel characteristics, and weather data. However, the availability and accuracy of some of these data inputs is still a challenge, as no standardization exists. Who is our guest? Matteo Mirolo is Head of Policy and Strategy, Contrails at Breakthrough Energy, an organization founded by Bill Gates to spur innovation in clean energy and address climate change. Prior to that he was sustainable aviation policy manager at Transport & Environment (clean transport advocacy group). Mirolo is also a member of the sustainability advisory panel at Air New Zealand. ResourcesIPCC Sixth Assessment Report: TransportThe contribution of global aviation to anthropogenic climate forcing for 2000 to 2018BiofuelsNASA-DLR Study Finds Sustainable Aviation Fuel Can Reduce ContrailsHydrogen could power the next-gen aircraft of tomorrowLand-Use Impacts of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand ChallengeHow much biofuel would we need to decarbonise aviation?Hydrogen-powered aviationFurther readingAviation Contrails The missing policies on aviation emissions For a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/eliminating-contrails-to-increase-aircraft-sustainability-with-matteo-mirolo/.

Comment combler le vide laissé par les Américains dans l'aide humanitaire et l'aide au développement ? Après la quasi suppression de l'USAID par Donald Trump, la question est vitale pour beaucoup de pays africains. Certains se tournent vers de grands mécènes, comme Bill Gates. D'autres, vers les États arabes du Golfe, comme les Émirats. « Il y a plusieurs moyens de limiter la casse », répond Thomas Melonio, qui a été conseiller Afrique sous la présidence de François Hollande et qui est aujourd'hui le chef économiste de l'Agence française de développement (AFD).  RFI : Les coupes budgétaires décidées par Donald Trump dans l'aide humanitaire, ça représente combien de milliards de dollars par an, en réalité ? Thomas Melonio : Alors USAID, l'institution qui gérait ce programme aux États-Unis, avait un budget de 42 milliards de dollars par an, donc un budget vraiment très important. Il gérait à la fois de l'aide humanitaire, alimentaire par exemple, mais aussi de l'aide au développement, du financement de l'activité économique. Donc, c'est un budget très important qui est supprimé pour ces deux grands types d'activités. Et ces coupes budgétaires, au total, ça va représenter quelle proportion de l'aide humanitaire mondiale ? Alors, les États-Unis, dans l'aide au développement, c'était autour d'un tiers, à peu près, mais les États-Unis étaient plus importants pour l'aide humanitaire, donc notamment l'aide alimentaire, les réfugiés, on peut penser au Soudan, le Kenya accueille beaucoup de réfugiés. Donc, ce qui est en jeu, c'est entre un tiers et presque la moitié de l'aide humanitaire s'il y avait une suppression totale. Et, concrètement, Thomas Melonio, est-ce que ça veut dire que la mortalité infantile va repartir à la hausse en Afrique ? Alors, c'est ce qu'on peut craindre. On entend beaucoup de critiques sur l'aide au développement, il ne faut pas les négliger, mais si on regarde sur les 20 ou 30 dernières années, sur des domaines bien précis, par exemple la lutte contre le Sida, le nombre de morts qui était monté à quasiment deux millions par an au pic de l'épidémie était tombé quasiment à 500 000. Donc, il y a une division presque par trois des morts du Sida. S'il y a un retrait américain très fort, on peut craindre que les chiffres remontent. Donc, s'il y a un retrait très important, ce qui est malheureusement en train de se produire, on peut craindre qu'en effet, il y ait une hausse, alors, sauf à ce qu'il y ait des solutions alternatives, mais aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas tout à fait évident à considérer. Dans l'urgence, la Fondation Bill Gates annonce qu'elle va hisser son aide à 10 milliards de dollars par an, mais est-ce que cet effort va compenser l'effondrement de l'aide publique américaine ? Alors, c'est vrai que c'est un effort très important qui a été annoncé par Bill Gates. Il était récemment d'ailleurs à l'Union africaine. La Fondation Gates, c'est un très gros acteur du développement, il dépensait entre 6 et 7 milliards par an, et comme vous l'avez rappelé, ils vont monter à 9 ou 10 milliards, donc une hausse quand même de l'ordre de 3 milliards de dollars. Bon, c'est très généreux, il faut le saluer, mais on parle d'une hausse de 3 milliards d'un côté et d'une baisse plutôt de 30 à 35 de l'autre. Donc, vous voyez que la compensation ne pourra évidemment pas être complète. Néanmoins, c'est déjà une chose qui est positive. Je crois que l'essentiel, ce sera quand même que les pays – africains, asiatiques, latino-américains, eux-mêmes – augmentent leur propre mobilisation et sauvent ce qui est essentiel de leur propre point de vue. Il va y avoir un moment, je pense, de vérité pour beaucoup de pays. Mais est-ce que cet effort de gouvernance va être possible dans les États qui sont gangrénés par la corruption ? C'est là qu'il y aura un moment de vérité. Je pense que les populations africaines aussi ont leur mot à dire. S'il y a des conséquences sociales en matière de santé, je pense que c'est une logique légitime qu'il y ait des débats dans chaque pays, à vrai dire, qui bénéficiaient de l'aide américaine pour se dire : qu'est-ce que nous, peuple de tel pays, on veut financer par nous-mêmes. Ça, ça peut être par les gouvernements qui prélèvent des impôts pour permettre de limiter la casse, puisque c'est en effet dans cette situation qu'on se trouve. Alors, du côté de l'aide au développement, il y a aussi des coupes budgétaires importantes cette année, et pas seulement de la part des États-Unis. La Grande-Bretagne réduit son aide de 40 %, la France de 37 %. « Dans la solidarité internationale, il ne faut pas descendre trop bas », vient de déclarer Rémy Rioux, le directeur général de votre Agence française de développement. Est-ce que c'est une forme d'avertissement au Premier ministre François Bayrou au moment où il est en train de préparer le budget 2026 ? Je ne dirais pas que c'est un avertissement, mais, ce qui est une réalité, c'est qu'il y a certaines causes internationales où on ne peut pas utiliser les prêts, donc, pour des activités vraiment de solidarité, on peut penser à la protection des droits des femmes, on parlait tout à l'heure de la lutte contre le Sida ou de la lutte contre la mortalité infantile, là, c'est vraiment les dons qui vont être nécessaires pour pouvoir agir. Donc, on a besoin, si on veut rester une diplomatie qui est féministe, qui s'engage pour l'éducation, donc on a besoin d'un soutien et d'un engagement de l'État aussi, c'est vrai. Bon, après, on s'ajuste au budget tel qu'il est, c'est l'avis d'un opérateur, mais on ne peut pas tout financer par prêt. C'est vrai qu'on a besoin de dons pour les causes les plus sociales et les pays les plus pauvres. Alors, l'une des raisons de l'élection, il y a bientôt deux semaines, du Mauritanien Sidi Ould Tah à la tête de la BAD, la Banque africaine de développement, c'est que jusqu'à, tout récemment, il a présidé la Banque arabe de développement en Afrique, la Badea, ce qui veut dire que beaucoup d'Africains espèrent que désormais, les riches États du Golfe vont pouvoir combler le vide laissé par les Américains. Est-ce que c'est jouable ? Le nouveau président de la BAD, comme vous le dites à l'instant, oui, je pense qu'une partie de son mandat consistera à aller chercher des soutiens pour la Banque africaine de développement. D'abord sur le continent, en Afrique elle-même, mais aussi des soutiens internationaux. On a vu à la dernière COP aux Émirats que certains pays du Golfe sont prêts à jouer un rôle international plus grand. Donc, on peut espérer que demain l'Arabie saoudite, le Qatar, les Émirats fassent preuve de plus de générosité ? Mais, en fait, c'est ce qu'on observe tendanciellement, il y a un rôle plutôt croissant des pays du Golfe que vous avez cités, qui mettent plus d'argent maintenant, à la fois dans les institutions internationales et dans leurs propres acteurs. Donc, l'élection à la tête de la Banque africaine de développement est un petit marqueur d'ailleurs de cette tendance.

Waihiga Mwaura, presenter of the BBC's Focus on Africa programme, speaks to Microsoft co-founder and global philanthropist, Bill Gates.Mr. Gates, who is 69 years old, announced last month that he plans to give away 99% of his vast fortune over the next 20 years, predominately through his Gates Foundation. The foundation has already given over 100 billion dollars since being established 25 years ago.He built his vast personal wealth through the software giant Microsoft, which he co-founded back in 1975. Mr. Gates has gradually stepped back from the company in recent decades, first resigning as its chief executive in 2000 and then later as its chairman in 2014.This has allowed him to turn his attention to global philanthropy, with a particular focus on health initiatives in lower-income countries. But Mr. Gates fears this work could be at risk as wealthier countries cut back on their own international aid commitments.

Rethinking Team Performance in a 2-Day Workweek WorldIn this thought-provoking episode of Teamwork, a Better Way, Christian Napier and Spencer Horn unpack one of the most talked-about ideas of the year: Bill Gates' prediction that AI could soon enable a 2- or 3-day workweek.Sounds like a dream, right? Maybe. But psychologists—and seasoned team facilitators like Christian and Spencer—see a deeper truth: we don't just work for income, we work for meaning.Together, we explore the paradox of progress: as AI removes the need for effort, how do we protect what gives work its value—growth, challenge, and human connection? How do leaders and teams adapt to a future where technology handles the heavy lifting, but people still crave purpose?We dive into the research behind the “effort paradox,” discuss how to lead teams in a world of increasing automation and reflect on what makes work… worth doing.Transcript: https://share.transistor.fm/s/aef02eaf/transcript.txt

Farmers are not receiving a fair deal from either and therefore putting farmers' livelihoods at risk and our food security at risk. It's time for a fair deal for farmers.Newly elected Canadian PM Mark Carney: "We need to ultimately get to a point where every financial decision is taking climate change into account." "It's really about... backing [companies] who are part of the solution, and taking capital away from those who are part of the problem."

La géo-ingénierie, à savoir "tout projet d'intervention délibéré à large échelle sur le système climatique qui a pour but de contrer le réchauffement anthropique" n'est plus de la science-fiction. Des entreprises privées et des États mènent aujourd'hui et sans aucun contrôle de la communauté internationale des actions visant à modifier le système climatique de manière naturelle et artificielle.Pour bien comprendre ce qu'est la géo-ingénierie sous ses nombreuses facettes et qui sont les communautés scientifiques et les groupes économiques qui travaillent à son développement dans le cadre des politiques climatiques, je reçois Rémi Noyon, co-auteur du livre Le grand retournement avec Marine de Guglielmo Weber.Rémi Noyon est journaliste au Nouvel Obs et auteur de la newsletter 420ppm.Bonne écoute !Photo © AFP / Alexander Nemenov

Send us a textThe technological revolution isn't coming—it's already here, dismantling traditional business models and reshaping our economic landscape before our eyes. McKinsey's recent firing of 10% of its workforce, openly blaming AI disruption, signals a profound shift that extends far beyond consultancies.This episode dives deep into how artificial intelligence is fundamentally altering employment prospects across all sectors. Bill Gates predicts 80% of job losses within a decade, making it essential to understand how these changes will affect your career trajectory—regardless of your industry or position. We explore practical ways to position yourself ahead of this technological wave rather than being swept away by it.The racial dimension of technological change cannot be ignored, as evidenced by Google's $50 million settlement for bias claims and a shocking LinkedIn experiment where a Black woman changed her profile picture to that of a white woman named "Emily"—immediately receiving interview opportunities previously denied to her. These revelations expose the systemic biases being encoded into the very algorithms meant to streamline hiring processes.For working parents, particularly mothers, the post-pandemic push to return to office-based work adds yet another layer of complexity in an already challenging economic environment. The dismantling of flexible working arrangements disproportionately impacts women who often serve as primary caregivers, forcing many skilled professionals out of the workforce entirely.From HMRC's plans to tax interest on savings accounts to the European pharmacy advantages discovered during a Paris trip, this episode offers practical insights for navigating financial challenges in what increasingly feels like a financial police state. The conversation wraps with a comprehensive update on the Diddy trial, examining the testimony and implications of this high-profile case.Understand the forces reshaping our economic reality and equip yourself with the knowledge to thrive rather than merely survive in this rapidly evolving landscape.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star

Hello and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I'm joined by my friend Dr. Peter Petropulos, founder of Rejuvenate Wellness Center. In this episode, Dr. P details his career, from joining the Navy as a Medical Corpsman, moving into the medical school path, and ultimately focusing on traditional medicine, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic and started his own practice.Peter and I discuss the distinguishing characteristics of alternative / traditional medicine relative to western medicine, and how the Rockefellers changed the paradigm of modern medicine to focus on petrochemical, pharmaceutical based interventions. We then discuss problems associated with GMOs, pesticides, and forever chemicals, and the connections between Big Ag and Big Chemical.Next, we discuss the cost benefit analysis conducted by “leaders” of Big Pharma, and their callous decisions to roll out new medicines if their expected drug profits exceed expected litigation payouts. Dr. Petropulos explains why we need to make vaccine manufacturers liable again, after the disastrous decision in 1986 to pass the National Vaccine Childhood Injury Act.From there, we discuss the impact of DDT on paralytic disease, and the connection between the elimination of DDT and the reduction in polio. We consider vaccine orthodoxy, and why people are so afraid to question it, especially as it relates to autism.Dr. Petropulos explains why orthodoxy precludes us from looking for the real etiology of diseases and for real treatments. We ask why safe and efficacious treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were suppressed during the pandemic, but deadly, dangerous interventions like remdesivir, molnupiravir, and ventilators were promoted.Next, we discuss the ruling elites' ties to Malthusian ideology, eugenics, and depopulation. Peter explains the process of virus isolation and genomic consensus, and why these are presumptive and speculative. We consider Dr. Fauci's long history of criminality, including during the AIDS epidemic, and the curious fact that Burroughs Wellcome manufactures both “poppers” and AZT.We then discuss the failures of PCR tests, and why its inventor, Dr. Kary Mullis, has been such a staunch opponent of Fauci for decades. We consider the correlation of flu epidemics and solar maximums, and the deregulating impact of electromagnetic frequency. We then discuss the fear propaganda pumped by the establishment, and the impact of weather manipulation on EMF stressors.From there, Dr. P explains how he has been involved with vaccine safety for decades, and how that connected him to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Children's Health Defense. We consider how the media has been able to enforce vaccine orthodoxy. Dr. Petropulos explains his main hopes for Secretary Kennedy's HHS, including eliminating pharmaceutical advertising, removing indemnity from vaccine manufacturers, and ending the funding of medical schools by criminal NGOs.We then discuss the need for COVID-19 pandemic accountability, and our hopes that Attorney General Pam Bondi will bring justice to the biggest perpetrators of the Plandemic fraud, including Tony Fauci, George Soros and Bill Gates. We then consider the revolution of media and the high caliber of content being produced today. Dr. Petropulos explains how he came around to the MAGA MAHA Alliance, and why President Trump needs to take ownership for the failures of Operation Warp Speed.We then discuss the release of the Epstein files and his connections to intelligence, organized crime, and the elitist class. We consider the use of sexual blackmail as a tool of control and its insidious ties to the occult. We ask what the future has in store for the oligarchy, and discuss why the central bankers need to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.Peter and I then discuss political reform at the state and local level, the future of the Democratic party, and how to end the polarization of politics. Dr. P describes the expansion of Children's Health Defense to Colorado, the spread of information related to vaccine injuries, and the increase in sudden deaths following the COVID “vaccination” program.Dr. P describes the importance of shifting off a mandatory vaccine schedule and the ethical necessity of informed consent. We conclude the conversation highlighting COVID-19 as a moment of awakening for the general public and for influential members of the scientific community.This outro is titled: “Vaxxed & Unafraid”.

It's election day in South Korea, where voters are choosing the country's next president after months of unprecedented political turmoil affecting the country's economy. For South Koreans, today's vote offers an opportunity to restore stability and forge ahead. US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to hold a phone call to discuss tariffs and trade issues, according to the White House. In Canada, the Prime Minister is meeting with regional leaders to remove interprovincial trade barriers and making it easier for Canadians to trade with each other. Also, the Microsoft founder Bill Gates says improving the health and education of people in Africa will be the priority when he gives away most of his two hundred billion dollar fortune over the next twenty years, the majority of which will go to Africa. Throughout the programme, Rahul Tandon will be joined by two guests on opposite sides of the world: Peter Morici, economist and professor of business, who is in Alexandria, Virginia; and Sushma Ramachandran, independent journalist and columnist with the Tribune newspaper in Delhi.

We sit down with Steve Ballmer, the legendary former Microsoft CEO and owner of the LA Clippers, for an epic conversation covering his 34 years at Microsoft. Steve listened to our Microsoft episodes and had some thoughts to share — and boy, did he deliver. Steve takes us point-by-point through the original IBM DOS deal that started everything, how he built Microsoft's enterprise business from scratch, and offers his candid reflections on missing mobile and search. We also cover the story behind “developers, developers, developers”, the complexities of his relationship with Bill Gates (including a year where they didn't speak), and why he ultimately decided to step down as CEO. Plus, we learn why Steve has held onto his Microsoft stock through it all — giving him arguably the best investment track record in the world over the last 10 years with his net worth growing from $20B to $130B since leaving. And of course, we couldn't resist also talking about his other passion: the Clippers and Intuit Dome. Hit play and get ready to experience the patented Steve Ballmer energy and fun on full display!Sponsors:Many thanks to our fantastic Summer ‘25 Season partners:J.P.

C dans l'air du 31 mai 2025 - Musk : les milliardaires peuvent-ils réussir en politique ?Un départ et des questions pour Elon Musk. Le milliardaire américain a officialisé vendredi son départ de l'administration Trump après avoir annoncé quelques semaines plus tôt qu'il allait retourner à ses affaires de chef d'entreprise. Quelques mois après sa nomination à la tête du DOGE, ministère chargé de lutter contre le "gaspillage" de la dépense publique, celui qui s'était fixé pour ambition de faire 1 000 milliards de dollars d'économie à l'administration en est bien loin. Selon le site indépendant DOGE tracker, seuls 12 milliards d'économie ont été réalisés, notamment via des coupes massives dans l'aide internationale et des milliers de licenciements de fonctionnaires. Répondant aux rumeurs qui le disent en froid avec le président américain, Elon Musk a nié, assurant vouloir rester "l'ami et le conseiller" de Donald Trump qui lui a remis une clé en or, symbole que les portes de la Maison Blanche lui resteront toujours ouvertes. Pour Elon Musk, c'est un difficile retour aux affaires qui commence, lui qui a perdu plus de 100 milliards de dollars entre décembre et mars à cause de la hausse des droits de douane américains. Au-delà de sa fortune, ses déclarations en faveur de l'extrême droite ont entaché sa réputation et les ventes de Tesla s'effondrent en Europe comme au Québec.En France, on n'a pas attendu Elon Musk pour faire entrer des hommes d'affaires au gouvernement. En 1992, l'ancien patron de l'Olympique de Marseille Bernard Tapie était nommé de la Ville par Pierre Bérégovoy, avant de démissionner cinq mois plus tard. Plus récemment, c'est à Michel-Edouard Leclerc, patron des magasins Leclerc, qu'on prête des ambitions élyséennes. Celui dont le slogan, "lutter contre la vie cher", résonne déjà à travers la France n'a jamais caché son admiration pour son père qui s'était présenté trois fois aux élections législatives et même brièvement à une élection présidentielle. D'autres patrons se tiennent plus en retrait mais n'hésitent pas à influer sur le cours des élections. Cofondateur et principal actionnaire du groupe Smartbox, Pierre-Édouard Stérin, dont la fortune est estimée à 1,4 milliard d'euros, a lancé un projet, baptisé "Périclès", qui vise à aider le RN et LR à conquérir le pouvoir. Sa vision conservatrice de la société française et ses ambitions politiques inquiètent jusqu'à l'Assemblée nationale. Les députés l'ont convoqué à deux reprises au mois de mai, lors d'une commission d'enquête portant sur l'organisation des élections en France. Le milliardaire ne s'est jamais présenté.Pour ces grandes fortunes, la gestion de la fortune est très politique. Certaines décident d'ailleurs de déshériter leurs enfants, à l'image de Bill Gates qui a légué une grosse partie de ses 107 milliards de dollars à sa fondation. "Mes enfants vont recevoir des sommes généreuses importantes, mais ce n'est qu'un pourcentage", confirmait-il en février dernier dans l'émission 7 à 8. Et il n'est pas un cas isolé. Dix ans plus tôt, le chanteur Sting a lui aussi confirmé que ses enfants ne bénéficieraient pas de sa fortune de 225 millions d'euros, assurant vouloir leur rendre service : "Je ne veux pas laisser un héritage qui soit un fardeau" avait-il déclaré dans un journal britannique. Plus récemment, c'est l'héritière du groupe d'entreprises chimiques et pharmaceutiques allemandes BASF, Marlene Engelhorn, qui a reversé 92 % de son héritage (27 millions d'euros) à des associations. "L'héritage est une injustice", estime celle qui milite activement pour la taxation des plus riches.Pourquoi Elon Musk a-t-il quitté le gouvernement de Trump ? Son parcours politique pourrait-il inspirer des grandes fortunes françaises ? Comment ces ultra-riches gèrent-ils leur héritage ?LES EXPERTS :- PHILIPPE DESSERTINE - Directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance, auteur de "L'horizon des possibles"- RAPHAËLLE BACQUÉ - Grand reporter au journal Le Monde, auteure de "Successions"- LOU FRITEL - Journaliste politique à Paris Match- THOMAS PORCHER - Économiste, professeur à la Paris School of Business, auteur de "Le vacataire"

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the epicenter of evil in our modern world, with every Globalist agenda and ideology finding a home, and most importantly, money. With over $55 billion under management, the Gates Foundation has the ability to remake society in its image through its ability to deploy capital to institutions that are actively involved in depopulation and forming a world government. Most people have no idea who Bill Gates actually is and what he stands for because his investments in the media make sure that the truth stays hidden away from the rest of the world. The number of resources that he has provided to organizations that actively kill children with their products should land him in prison for the rest of his life or worse. Let's get real about who Bill Gates actually is, and what his plan for the world entails.

Sabina Nawaz, global CEO coach & advisor, TEDx and keynote speaker, and author of You're the Boss, joins me on this episode. Sabina spent 14 years at Microsoft, rising from software developer and managing teams to leading executive development and succession planning for the company, where she advised both Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. For over 20 years, Sabina has led her own global consulting firm, coaching top leaders across industries, nonprofits, government agencies, and academia.

Han prenumererade på titeln världens rikaste man. Det här är historien om hur Bill Gates styrde om från Microsoft till världsförbättrande. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Under 80- och 90-talen erövrade Bill Gates den nya IT-industrin med sitt företag Microsoft. Han blev ansiktet utåt för PC-revolutionen och världens rikaste person. Men han blev även beryktad som en hänsynslös affärsman och anklagad av den amerikanska staten för att bedriva monopol. När hans rykte var som sämst sadlade han om till filantrop. Han grundade en stiftelse, The Gates Foundation, som många menar räddat miljontals liv. Men som även kritiserats för att tvinga på världens fattigaste länder lösningar som inte fungerar.Nu, när hans hemland USA gör stora nedskärningar på biståndsarbete, presenterar Bill Gates nästa giv: han ska ge bort alla sina pengar. I avsnittet medverkar journalisten och författaren Tim Schwab och P3:s techreporter Evelina Galli.Programledare och producent: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsmakare och reporter: Tobias NorströmLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonKlippen i programmet är hämtade från: SVT, Sveriges Radio, The Gates Foundation, Live 8, CBS, NBC, CNN, CBC, The New Yorker och TED.
