Today, I'm talking with Hank Green, a longtime friend of Decoder and the co-founder and now former owner of Complexly, an online education company he started with his brother John in 2012. I say former owner because Hank and John have just converted Complexly into a nonprofit and given up their ownership of the company in the process. That's some of the purest Decoder bait that ever was, because it's all about how you structure a company and how you make decisions about changing that structure. So of course I had to bring Hank back on to talk all about it.

Mexico is in chaos. With support from the US, the Mexican Special Forces killed El Mencho, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The end game is likely Mexican civil war and control over Mexico's nationalized oil industry. Corruption, resource control, Ai dominance are all part of the new strategy for American hegemony. Its the Trump remake of the Project for the New American Century. More disclosure is coming. The question is will people respond or just bury their heads and wish it away.  #BardsFM_Morning #ResourceControl #ChaosBeforeDisclosure Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

The Second Cold War that the United States is waging against China includes a trade war, tech war, and now a mineral war. In alliance with Silicon Valley Big Tech corporations, the US government is trying to recruit countries into Pax Silica, a coalition to create a new global supply chain for critical minerals that cuts out China.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Bernie Sanders continues to display a perplexing misunderstanding of economics with his recent attacks on billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. He claims these wealthy individuals are thwarting a wealth tax measure and insists they should pay their "fair share," ignoring the fact that the top 1% already contribute over 40% of federal income taxes. Instead of fostering an informed dialogue about economic realities, Sanders resorts to Marxist and Socialist rhetoric that vilifies success and oversimplifies the complexities of wealth creation. It's high time we confront this misguided socialist perspective and recognize the vital role that successful entrepreneurs play in driving our economy forward. In addition, Tucker Carlson made a brief stop at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel to film an interview with US Ambassador Mike Huckabee without ever stepping outside the airport. Carlson lied about leaking the fact that Israeli police and staff at the airport was mistreating him, even though there is video footage of Tucker hugging people. Also, at least a dozen Democrats from both the House and Senate will skip President Trump's State of the Union address to attend a rally on the National Mall as an alternative protest against his presidency. Lastly, Rep. Bryan Steil joins the show to discuss how Democrats are trying to find ways to protect illegal aliens from getting deported, and by not passing the SAVE Act, so that illegal aliens can vote. The people need to call our senators to pass the Save Act now! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What it might mean – biologically, socially, and philosophically – if death becomes optional? Humanity has long dreamed about the idea of immortality. And in 2026, many believe that dream could soon become a reality. The world's most powerful technologists and investors are pouring billions into engineering immortality itself. For these modern-day immortalists, aging is no longer an inevitability – it's a technical glitch that can be hacked, reversed, or eradicated altogether. On today's episode, award-winning broadcaster and academic Aleks Krotoski speaks to host Carl Miller about the moguls, effective altruists, geroscientists and entrepreneurs who are seeking to disrupt death.  Drawing on Krotoski's new book The Immortalists, they discuss encounters with radical life extensionists transfusing their teenage son's blood, transhumanists who want to upload consciousness to the cloud, biohackers flogging AI-powered wellness apps and billionaire kingmakers building brand-new nations.

Do you want to pay less in taxes and keep more of your hard-earned money? In this episode, Dan Kaminski joins Russ and Joey to discuss a little-known tax strategy used by billionaires to protect their wealth and reduce tax liability. They explore private family foundations, showing how everyday investors can use these tools to create tax savings while contributing to charitable causes.Dan explains how billionaires leverage this strategy to build generational wealth, focusing on preserving and passing down assets while gaining tax advantages. He highlights the key features of establishing a private family foundation and how it can serve as a wealth-building tool beyond traditional investment channels.They also discuss how the strategy compares with other options, such as donor-advised funds (DAFs), and why it's a game-changer for high-net-worth individuals.Top three things you will learn:-How private family foundations can be used to build and protect generational wealth-The benefits of using a private family foundation compared to donor-advised funds-Practical steps to set up and leverage a private family foundation for tax savingsAbout Our Guest:Dan Kaminski established Foundation Launch in 2023 to answer his own question: "How do I start and manage a foundation without being a billionaire?" As the organization's name implies, Dan's sole focus is on establishing and managing private foundations, widely regarded as the gold standard of charitable vehicles.Dan believes that with a foundation, you can increase your impact and define your legacy in a tax-deductible way. By investing the foundation assets, you can grow the endowment in a tax-exempt environment and eventually give far more than you could have personally. Control of your foundation and its assets can be passed down to future generations, perpetuating your values and continuing your charitable work, far beyond your lifetime.Disclaimer: The opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of the hosts and guests and do not constitute financial advice.

Blame it on American individualism or a political aversion to regulation, but the United States has become a striking outlier in its failure to regulate the assisted reproductive technology industry. As a result, individuals from other countries have begun engaging in quasi–birth tourism through American surrogacy contracts, and not in small numbers. Chinese billionaire Xu Bo, for example, has reportedly fathered more than 100 American children through surrogacy and has been involved in legal battles over custody, describing them as part of his “business legacy". Beyond clear international abuses of U.S. surrogacy laws, there are also numerous domestic practices that warrant greater oversight and protection. The central question is why? What do they want these children for? Who, if anyone, is regulating these contracts? And why have lawmakers declined to address this rapidly growing industry?Charles Hilu is a reporter for The Dispatch based in Washington, D.C. Before joining the company in 2024, he was the Collegiate Network Fellow at the Washington Free Beacon and interned at both National Review and the Washington Examiner.

Elon Musk has been loudly criticizing the DOJ and FBI over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, calling out what he sees as a disgraceful failure to hold powerful figures accountable. He presents himself as an outsider raging against the elite, demanding justice and transparency from the very institutions he claims are protecting predators. But there's a glaring contradiction that undercuts this entire performance: Musk himself once sat down at the same table as Jeffrey Epstein. At a private billionaire's dinner, years after Epstein's 2008 conviction was public knowledge, Musk broke bread with a man already known to be a convicted sex offender—making his current outrage feel more like calculated damage control than genuine moral concern.The hypocrisy is almost unbearable. You don't get to dine with a monster, stay silent for over a decade, and then pretend to be the loudest voice in the room demanding accountability. Musk's selective outrage reeks of self-preservation, not justice. He wasn't just in the same room—he was a participant in the same closed-door culture of wealth, access, and impunity that allowed Epstein to thrive. And now, as public pressure mounts, he wants to rewrite the past, cast himself as a truth-teller, and hope no one remembers where he was when it mattered. But history has receipts—and the dinner napkin still has his name on it.Elon Musk isn't the only one feigning moral outrage about Jeffrey Epstein while conveniently forgetting the dinner table they once shared. In 2011, at a private billionaires' dinner during a TED conference, Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, and other tech titans sat shoulder to shoulder with Epstein—a man already convicted of soliciting sex from a minor. These weren't ignorant bystanders. Epstein's name was radioactive by then, his crimes well documented. Yet these men, who now pretend to be disgusted by the cover-up, saw no issue sharing wine and strategy with him over filet mignon and handshakes. It was a who's who of unchecked power pretending Epstein was just another quirky financier with connections.Fast-forward to now, and the same billionaires want to position themselves as the public's moral compass—demanding justice, accountability, and answers from the government while playing dumb about their own proximity to the rot. Musk rails against the DOJ, Bezos hides behind silence, and the rest of them act like their invitations got lost in the mail. But this wasn't some accident. They sat there. They talked. They mingled. And they helped normalize a predator. These men didn't just witness the corruption—they were part of the network that allowed it to keep operating in plain sight. Now they want to shout from the rooftops as if they weren't once whispering in the same room. That's not courage. That's cleanup.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:In 2011, Jeffrey Epstein Was A Known Sex Offender. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, And Sergey Brin Shared A Meal With Him Anyway

Technocracy rises, elites build bunkers, and rehearse a digital pandemic. Is the digital future being engineered for our control and their escape?

On today's podcast:1) While both the US and Iran have sounded cautiously upbeat about the latest round of diplomatic talks between the nations, analysts believe that strikes on Iranian targets remain a likely possibility. The US has amassed military assets in the Middle East and has dispatched a second aircraft carrier to the region. Concerns of a broader conflict held Brent crude above $70 a barrel. The US also announced new visa restrictions, with the State Department saying it is targeting 18 Iranian officials and telecommunications industry leaders and their immediate family members for the crackdown and communications blackout, blaming them for “inhibiting the right of Iranians to free expression and peaceful assembly.”2) Billionaire retail tycoon Leslie Wexner told a US House panel Wednesday that he visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island but said at the time he wasn’t aware of any sex trafficking operation involving the disgraced financier. Wexner said he went to the island once with his wife and children “for a few hours” while the family was in the area on their boat, according to his opening statement in a deposition to congressional investigators that was provided to Bloomberg News by his attorney. The House Oversight Committee has been investigating what role Epstein’s broad network of connections may have played in facilitating his enterprise or delaying criminal prosecution. Wexner was questioned behind closed doors by congressional investigators for six hours on Wednesday, a spokesman for the panel said.3) OpenAI is close to finalizing the first phase of a new funding round that is likely to bring in more than $100 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, a record-breaking financing deal that would give the startup additional capital to build out its artificial intelligence tools. As the ChatGPT maker prepares to spend trillions in infrastructure investment, the overall valuation of the company, including the eventual funding, could exceed $850 billion, according to some of the people. That’s higher than the $830 billion initially expected. The company’s pre-money value will remain $730 billion, said one person, all of whom asked not to be identified discussing private information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, she joins Nicole to talk about how she grew wealth, and how you can borrow the money lessons that only show up after you've already “made it.”  Lucy tells Nicole about growing up bullied for not being able to afford the cool brands, scrappy strategies she used to save money when she was building her first company, and navigating the strange attention of being labeled a billionaire while most of that wealth still isn't liquid. She explains the routines that kept her disciplined, the hard boundaries she set around lending money after getting burned, and stories of her wild money hacks like booking refundable flights to eat free meals in the airport lounges.  Nicole and Lucy also dive into the hidden playbook of startup money and the creator economy: how Lucy's fundraising secret is to manufacture FOMO, why the wealthy borrow instead of sell, and the monetization strategy all creators should adopt.  Check out Nicole's financial literacy course The Money School  Find a Financial Advisor or Financial Coach from Nicole's company Private Wealth Collective Watch video clips from the pod on Money Rehab's Instagram and Nicole Lapin's Instagram Keep up with Lucy on Instagram and learn more about Passes Here's what Nicole covers with Lucy:00:00 Are You Ready for Some Money Rehab? 01:17 Lucy's Routine and the Impact of Success on Hustle 03:39 Childhood Bullying05:08 Lucy's Confidence Reset 08:20 Unpacking “Paper Wealth” and Liquidity 13:40 Should You Lend Money to Friends? 14:35 Lucy's Investing Thesis 18:34 FOMO Strategy in Fundraising 22:22 Billionaire Money Tips 25:03 The Robbery Attempt 27:38 Money Saving Hacks 33:43 Stigma Around “Work Hard, Play Hard” 37:24 Passes and the Creator Economy 53:45 Lucy Guo's Tip You Can Take Straight to the Bank

Is the online safety legislation moving through Congress actually a Trojan horse for mass surveillance? And do the tech billionaires building our future actually care if the rest of us survive it?Rushkoff sits down with Taylor Lorenz, the internet's premier culture reporter and founder of User Mag, to discuss her departure from legacy media (The New York Times, The Washington Post) and the dangerous reality of the new tech authoritarianism.From the misogyny of the 2013 "Selfie" panic to the rise of "maximalist" human aesthetics, Lorenz and Rushkoff break down how to reclaim the internet from the billionaires who view humanity as a problem to be solved (or eliminated).Check out User Mag: https://usermag.coFollow Taylor Lorenz: @TaylorLorenzTeam Human is proudly sponsored by Everyone's Earth.Learn more about Everyone's Earth: https://everyonesearth.com/Change Diapers: https://changediapers.com/Cobi Dryer Sheets: https://cobidryersheets.com/Use the code “rush10” to receive 10% off of Cobi Dryer sheets: https://cobidryersheets.com/Support Team Human on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/teamhumanFollow Team Human with Douglas Rushkoff:Instagram: https:/www.instagram.com/douglasrushkoffYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@douglasrushkoffTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/douglasrushkoffBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/rushkoff.com Hosted on Acast.

Elizabeth Warren tried to convince everyone that letting Amazon keep more of its own money is a "tax handout", and Nate and Charlie absolutely torch the logic. They break down how "tax break = government gave you money" is a framing trick, why Warren suddenly loves billionaires when they are Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, or LeBron James, and how this whole mindset treats your income like it belongs to "the kingdom" first. Then it's a rare white pill: Trump's EPA, led by Lee Zeldin, moves to repeal the 2009 "endangerment finding" that became the legal foundation for a huge chunk of modern emissions regulation. They talk Clean Air Act language, the Massachusetts v. EPA backdrop, why people are literally suing to force regulators to regulate, and what this means for car costs, annoying start-stop tech, and energy bills.

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Originally recorded live on the @PoliticalVoicesNetwork Feb 17, 2026

I read Brad Jacobs' billion-dollar playbook and would not trade places. Why low-pressure systems outlast high-pressure ones.

Elon Musk has been loudly criticizing the DOJ and FBI over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, calling out what he sees as a disgraceful failure to hold powerful figures accountable. He presents himself as an outsider raging against the elite, demanding justice and transparency from the very institutions he claims are protecting predators. But there's a glaring contradiction that undercuts this entire performance: Musk himself once sat down at the same table as Jeffrey Epstein. At a private billionaire's dinner, years after Epstein's 2008 conviction was public knowledge, Musk broke bread with a man already known to be a convicted sex offender—making his current outrage feel more like calculated damage control than genuine moral concern.The hypocrisy is almost unbearable. You don't get to dine with a monster, stay silent for over a decade, and then pretend to be the loudest voice in the room demanding accountability. Musk's selective outrage reeks of self-preservation, not justice. He wasn't just in the same room—he was a participant in the same closed-door culture of wealth, access, and impunity that allowed Epstein to thrive. And now, as public pressure mounts, he wants to rewrite the past, cast himself as a truth-teller, and hope no one remembers where he was when it mattered. But history has receipts—and the dinner napkin still has his name on it.Elon Musk isn't the only one feigning moral outrage about Jeffrey Epstein while conveniently forgetting the dinner table they once shared. In 2011, at a private billionaires' dinner during a TED conference, Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, and other tech titans sat shoulder to shoulder with Epstein—a man already convicted of soliciting sex from a minor. These weren't ignorant bystanders. Epstein's name was radioactive by then, his crimes well documented. Yet these men, who now pretend to be disgusted by the cover-up, saw no issue sharing wine and strategy with him over filet mignon and handshakes. It was a who's who of unchecked power pretending Epstein was just another quirky financier with connections.Fast-forward to now, and the same billionaires want to position themselves as the public's moral compass—demanding justice, accountability, and answers from the government while playing dumb about their own proximity to the rot. Musk rails against the DOJ, Bezos hides behind silence, and the rest of them act like their invitations got lost in the mail. But this wasn't some accident. They sat there. They talked. They mingled. And they helped normalize a predator. These men didn't just witness the corruption—they were part of the network that allowed it to keep operating in plain sight. Now they want to shout from the rooftops as if they weren't once whispering in the same room. That's not courage. That's cleanup.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:In 2011, Jeffrey Epstein Was A Known Sex Offender. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, And Sergey Brin Shared A Meal With Him Anyway

NYC Tax War, Billionaire Backlash, Trump's Ukraine Failure & The Culture Shift No One Wants to Admit Why does New York City bend over backward to protect billionaires while everyday people struggle to survive? Mayor Zohran Mamdani is threatening a 9.5% property tax increase if Albany blocks a proposed wealth tax. He calls it a “last resort.” But let's be honest — why is it always the middle class paying the bill while the ultra-rich get protected? Meanwhile in Napa Valley, famed French Laundry chef Thomas Keller and other wealthy Yountville business owners are pushing to pause an affordable housing project — citing parking and density concerns. But is it really about traffic… or keeping middle-income families out of Wine Country? And remember when Trump said he'd end the Ukraine war in a day? Russian attacks are up. Civilian deaths are rising. Peace talks are dragging. Another promise collapsing under reality. Plus — why is Wuthering Heights suddenly thriving at the box office? Why is steamy drama dominating streaming? Are cultural tastes shifting — and are women now driving the same kind of on-screen sexual demand long associated with men? This episode connects politics, power, wealth, war, and culture — and asks the uncomfortable questions no one else is asking. The Karel Show streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST.
