Tara breaks down explosive revelations from the State of the Union and recent investigations. FBI surveillance reportedly targeted White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Kash Patel, and over 1,200 political figures, journalists, and clergy — many without evidence of a crime. Ten FBI employees have been fired so far, with more potentially to come. Former Obama adviser Susan Rice allegedly warned corporate leaders that political consequences could follow future power shifts — sparking moves by tech giants and CEOs to Florida for legal protection. Tara also highlights Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions, warning of the potential threat to U.S. bases and allies in Europe and the Middle East, and the risks of assassination attempts targeting U.S. political figures. Plus, insights on the Future Scholar program for South Carolina residents — a tax-smart way to save for K-12, college, and certifications. A packed episode covering domestic surveillance, geopolitical danger, and financial strategies Americans are overlooking.

I'm excited to share powerful insights from my latest Capitalist Culture® episode with Jay, a seasoned Wall Street veteran turned family office strategist.This conversation goes deep into wealth, power, responsibility, and the systems shaping our financial future. Here are the highlights you won't want to miss:Jay's Journey: From Wall Street to Family Offices• Early Lessons in M&A: Jay saw firsthand how culture clashes can derail even the most strategic mergers. • The Fee Illusion: On Wall Street, he learned how layered fees quietly erode investor returns long before clients see meaningful gains. • A Turning Point: Disillusioned by the system, he transitioned to serving ultra-high-net-worth families, focusing on control, alignment, and long-term value creation.Financial System Realities• Mortgage Backed Securities: We unpack Wall Street's role in engineering complex financial products and the long tail consequences. • The 401k Dilemma: Alternative investments promise higher returns, but retail investors often need liquidity. That mismatch could create serious stress in future downturns. • Pension Pressure: Longer life expectancies and rising living costs are putting enormous strain on retirement systems.Tribal Lending and Emerging Markets• Economic Diversification: Jay worked with Native American tribes to expand beyond gaming and create sustainable revenue streams. • Operational Optimization: From restructuring lending algorithms to reducing reliance on outside providers, he helped tribes regain efficiency and control. • The First Mass Tort Litigation Fund: Jay built it from scratch before it was acquired by a Wall Street firm.Private Equity, Alpha, and Family Office Strategy• Why Smaller Managers Often Win: Emerging managers frequently outperform large institutions because they are hungry, focused, and disciplined. • Alpha Strategies: As an outsourced CIO, Jay combines low-cost index exposure with targeted private equity and private credit to generate alpha. • Cutting Layers of Fees: Direct co-investments and thoughtful structuring create tax efficiency and preserve capital.Family Office Leadership• Multi-Generational Complexity: Managing wealth means balancing capital allocation, philanthropy, governance, and family dynamics. • The Wealth Narrative: Jay challenges the vilification of entrepreneurs, arguing that job creation and innovation drive societal progress. • One Family at a Time: His current work with the Global Rock Family Office includes taking a textile company private and converting warehouses into data centers.AI, Policy, and the Future• AI Acceleration: Information access has fundamentally changed. What once took weeks now takes minutes. • Verification Matters: AI is powerful, but leaders must cross-check and guard against bias. • Government Reform and Efficiency: We discuss the friction between bureaucracy and entrepreneurial problem-solving.Personal Definition of Success• Fatherhood First: Jay believes success is measured by the character of the next generation. • Leave No Trace: From fishing trips to everyday actions like returning grocery carts, he believes integrity shows up in the small things. • Three Sons, Three Paths: College, auto mechanics, and military flight school. Individual purpose over prestige.Final Thoughts• A Level Playing Field: Jay emphasizSend a textConnect with Kip on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kipknippel/Watch Bite-Sized Clips on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@capitalistculture/shorts

This week, we expose how a billionaire US mining cartel got slapped with a pathetic $55 million fine for illegally destroying endangered WA forests — then immediately received government permission to keep doing it. We break down the Minister's discretion loophole that lets politicians approve environmental destruction under "national security" exemptions, supposedly for renewable energy, while endangered black cockatoos lose their habitat. The $250 Billion Housing Scam Nobody Wants You To Understand Konrad breaks down the Capital Gains Tax discount — the 1999 policy that's cost Australia $250 billion over the next decade and handed 82% of the benefits to the top 10% of earners (and 60% to the top 1%). We expose why investors get half-price tax on property profits while you pay full tax on your wages, why the media machine is absolutely losing it over potential reforms, and how Domain, REA, and Murdoch's new mortgage company are all incentivized to keep house prices sky-high. Plus: the Punters Lobbyist hunt continues with applications rolling in, Konrad confesses to accepting a free e-bike and puts his fate in the hands of Patreon punters, we clarify Tanya Plibersek's trust situation, and Spotify pulls down last week's episode over four seconds of a Madonna song.

John X hosts the third episode of “Born In Trouble” with guests Robert Brooks (in-studio) and Andrew Johnson (host of the Men Money and Marriage Podcast). The conversation ranges from reactions to a Spanish-language halftime performance and public discomfort with other cultures, to concerns that the U.S. is increasingly divided and “full of” contradictions. They discuss faith and the idea that there is only one God/Jesus, argue that protecting vulnerable children is a moral imperative, and condemn pedophilia while criticizing how high-profile cases and trials are drip-fed to distract the public. They talk about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell's alleged intelligence ties, and claim Epstein did not want Black people on the island, framing it as “white on white crime,” while cautioning against pulling Black people in as scapegoats. They revisit Michael Jackson, suggesting allegations were tied to power and music publishing, describing how he amassed catalogs (including the Beatles and Sony-related publishing) and used leverage in the industry, including returning Little Richard's rights. The episode also covers immigration and business incentives to exploit undocumented labor, including avoiding taxes/benefits, and connects this to broader U.S. history and Manifest Destiny, arguing people are “coming back” to land taken from Mexico. They speculate about hidden history, restricted sites like parts of the Grand Canyon, and debates over identity, criticizing tribalism and the use of slurs within communities. Andrew shares concerns about his daughter's future, rising costs, and the increasing age of first-time homebuyers; they discuss 50-year mortgages as “glorified renting” and how lack of equity could discourage divorce. They debate AI's impact on jobs, suggesting timelines are exaggerated but warning about motives, and they argue screen-based schooling and phone dependence reduce creativity and critical thinking in Gen Z. They briefly mention hypocrisy around anti-LGBTQ rhetoric (including Grindr spikes during Republican conventions) and insist people should be judged by character rather than group identity. The episode closes with a warning about scapegoating, references to “ghetto loans” from mortgage work, commentary on hypocrisy in politics and culture, and a sign-off framing the episode as “Devil Worshipers,” with plans for future episodes and a possible one-on-one with Grant Lancaster. 00:00 Cold Open and Guests 01:02 Valentine's Day Banter 02:49 Welcome to Born In Trouble 03:40 Super Bowl Halftime Debate 05:47 Do We Stand for Anything 06:19 Faith and Protecting Kids 08:40 Immigration and Business Incentives 10:57 Division and Distraction Politics 12:35 Michael Jackson Revisited 15:02 Publishing Power and Catalog Wars 18:06 Epstein Network and Race 23:01 Manifest Destiny and Hidden History 25:34 Identity Tribalism and Language 28:55 When Did It Get So Tribal 29:16 Tribal Cities Talk 31:18 Parenting and Housing Fears 32:25 Looking Rich Economy 33:22 Fifty Year Mortgages 36:16 Aging Out the Demo 37:32 AI Jobs Reality Check 42:02 Screen Age Kids 45:05 Tribalism and Community 49:19 LGBTQ and Hypocrisy 54:17 Closing Thoughts and Signoff

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping jobs. Billionaires are accelerating away from the middle class. And the superyacht market is still breaking records.In this episode of Rich AF, host Charl Minnaar, The Yachting Investor, sits down with Kevin Koenig, yacht journalist and creator of The Yacht Fella, for a wide-ranging conversation on AI disruption, wealth inequality, yacht brokerage, and the psychology of ultra-wealth.Kevin shares his journey from law and Goldman Sachs during the 2008 financial crisis to becoming one of the most respected voices in yacht journalism. They discuss authenticity in media, the rise of AI-generated writing, and why voice and credibility matter more than ever in a world flooded with automated content.The conversation then turns to economics. What happens when automation targets white collar work? Is the widening wealth gap sustainable? Why are billionaires buying larger yachts while the 80 to 120 foot yacht segment feels pressure?They also explore:• The current state of the superyacht market • Yacht brokerage realities and the 90 10 rule • Why crew need a long term exit strategy • AI replacing jobs and the future of work • Kismet and the psychology of extreme luxury • Why explorer yachts may represent a smarter long term visionThis episode connects Artificial Intelligence, billionaires, superyachts, and global economic shifts in a way few conversations inside the industry attempt.If you follow luxury markets, the future of work, wealth trends, or the yacht industry, this is a discussion worth hearing.Guest: Kevin Koenig, The Yacht Fella Host: Charl Minnaar, The Yachting Investor Show: Rich AFThis episode reflects personal opinion and industry experience.

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.

Billions, miserliness, and a severed ear! This episode of History's Greatest Idiots (featuring The Hungry Historian) explores the extraordinary life of Jean Paul Getty, the oil tycoon who became the richest man in the world, installed a payphone in his mansion for guests, and refused to pay ransom whilst his kidnapped grandson's ear was being cut off.The Golden Child Who Disappointed Daddy:Born in 1892 to oilman George Franklin Getty, young J. Paul made his first million at age 23, then quit to party in Hollywood dating film stars including the Gish sisters, Norma Talmadge, and Gloria Swanson. He married and divorced three women within a decade. His father was appalled. When George Getty died in 1930, he left an estate worth $10 million. J. Paul inherited just $500,000. His mother received the rest. It was a pointed snub that would define Getty's entire life.The Great Depression Bargain Hunter:Determined to prove his father wrong, Getty bought up distressed oil company stocks during the Depression. He boasted to an acquaintance: "I just fleeced my mother" after persuading her to give him control of her trust fund. In 1949, he gambled $9.5 million on mineral rights to a barren Saudi Arabian desert called the Neutral Zone. Other oil companies thought he was mad. In 1953, oil was discovered. The field produced 16 million barrels yearly. By 1966, Getty was the world's wealthiest private citizen, worth $1.2 billion (approximately $70 billion in today's purchasing power).The Miser of Sutton Place:Getty settled at Sutton Place, a Tudor estate near Guildford. He filled it with priceless art, then installed a payphone in the entrance hall because he worried guests might make long-distance calls. He haggled over garden barrows. He reused string. He was married and divorced five times, had five sons, and was a terrible father. His son George Getty II died from a drug and alcohol-induced stroke. His son J. Paul Getty Jr. became a heroin addict.The Kidnapping:On 10th July 1973, 16-year-old John Paul Getty III was kidnapped in Rome by the 'Ndrangheta crime organization. They demanded $17 million. Getty refused to pay, suspecting his grandson was faking it. For months, Paul was held in a cave, blindfolded and beaten. In November 1973, kidnappers sent Paul's severed ear to an Italian newspaper with a letter: "This is Paul's first ear. If within ten days the family still believes this is a joke, then the other ear will arrive. In other words, he will arrive in little bits." Only then did Getty negotiate. He agreed to pay $2.2 million (the maximum tax-deductible amount under U.S. law). He then lent the remaining $800,000 to his son at four percent interest. Getty wrote off his portion as a tax deduction. When Paul was rescued, Getty refused to come to the phone. Paul never recovered, suffering a stroke in 1981 that left him paralyzed and nearly blind for 36 years until his death in 2011.Getty proved you could have all the money in the world and still be absolutely miserable whilst making everyone around you miserable too. He died wealthy and alone, having haggled over his grandson's ear, installed payphones for guests, and left behind a company that charges fees for photographs it doesn't own.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Anti-billionaire sentiment is at an all-time high in Canada — and it's costing us. In this direct response to the Paikin Podcast's call for higher taxes on the wealthy, Chris Cooper dismantles five of the most persistent myths about billionaires, delivers statistics most Canadians have never seen, and makes the case that wealth creators aren't the problem — they're the solution.Topics include: the scarcity fallacy and why wealth creation is not zero-sum; the reality of what the wealthy actually pay in taxes; why most "billionaires" don't have a billion dollars in cash; how corporate taxes subsidize your personal tax rate; the real cost of running a business in Canada; what happened when France tried a wealth tax; and why attacking wealth creation is a threat to democracy itself.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/

One of Ohio's wealthiest men found himself amid a firestorm last week after the release of FBI files on the case against the late accused child trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. In this week's Ohio Statehouse Scoop, Host Jo Ingles explains how Ohio lawmakers are reacting to the news that billionaire Les Wexner was named as a co-conspirator in the Epstein files. She also talks with Ohio State University Political Scientist Emeritus Paul Beck about how this controversy could play out politically. Later, Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson talk about how state leaders are responding to the Wexner situation at the Ohio Statehouse. It's all this week on the Ohio Statehouse Scoop.

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

Lucy Guo built one of the most talked-about AI companies in the world before most people finish college. Then, she made headlines when she dethroned Taylor Swift as the youngest self-made female billionaire. 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

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.
