Podcasts about billionaires

On today's Free Swim we are joined by the typical crew. We get into a discussion of living a simpler life out in the wild and how that simple of life would differ as the simple life lived if we were billionaires. We then get into some good On Or Off The Leash discussions, and recap White Sox Dave's wild behavior at a Steak House in Milwaukee in 2023.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

A California health care union is campaigning for a ballot measure that would impose a one-time “wealth tax” on the state's roughly estimated 200 billionaires. The proposal is meant to shore upfunding for health programs facing severe cuts because of federal funding reductions. But it's stirring opposition from Governor Gavin Newsom, who says the tax could harm the state's economy. We talk about how the tax would work and what the risks and benefits might come from a new levy on the state's wealthiest residents. Guests: Marisa Lagos, politics correspondent, KQED; co-host, KQED's Political Breakdown Ryan Mac, tech reporter based in Los Angeles, The New York Times; co-author, “Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter” Suzanne Jimenez, chief of staff, SEIU United Healthcare Workers West Learn more about your ad choices.

Amanda's first You're Not Gonna Believe This B.S. show is here: The myths and truth of BILLIONAIRES! We pull back the curtain on how billionaires were made, how much they have, how they skate on public benefits while hoarding the fruits of our labor, how they pretend to fight to keep us distracted fighting with each other (while we barely get by on their scraps), what we learned from them in the Epstein files—and how we get our cookies back.   Joined by author and political analyst Anand Giridharadas, we break down: - What the Epstein emails reveal about the unwritten rules billionaires play by;- What Anand learned about billionaires from the Mandani campaign; and - Why this moment offers hope for building a more just world where we get to have nice things.  About Anand:  Anand Giridharadas is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Persuaders, the international bestseller Winners Take All, The True American, and India Calling.

A political fight is already brewing over a proposed tax on California billionaires. Democrats are divided, with Gov. Newsom as one of the most vocal opponents trying to broker an alternative that would keep the initiative off the November ballot.

In 1924, the Republic of Turkey voted to abolish the Ottoman caliphate, ending a 400-year-long claim by the Ottomans that they were the leaders of the Islamic world. Abdülmecid II—who had been elected to the position by the Republic of Turkey just two years before—decamped for Europe. What followed was a bold plan by Indian Muslims and the Nizam of Hyderabad, one of the world's richest men at the time, to potentially revive the caliphate, as told in Imran Mulla's book The Indian Caliphate, Exiled Ottomans and the Billionaire Prince (Hurst, 2025) Imran Mulla is a journalist at Middle East Eye in London, before which he studied history at the University of Cambridge.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If you've ever wondered how professional options traders actually make decisions when real money is on the line, this video pulls the curtain all the way back. No fluff. No hype. Just real-time thinking, real trades, and real risk management while competing in the 2026 U.S. Investing Championship.This isn't about chasing the next hot stock or guessing where price “might” go. It's about having a repeatable process that works whether the market is calm, chaotic, green, or red. You'll see exactly how trades are evaluated before entry, how winners are managed, and why reducing risk always comes before trying to squeeze out extra profits.The heart of this video is a clear breakdown of the five things a professional looks for before touching an options trade. These are the same filters used every single time, not just when things are going well. You'll see how liquidity protects you from getting trapped, how extrinsic value quietly eats returns if ignored, and why wide bid ask spreads are a hidden tax most traders never account for.What really makes this session valuable is watching live trades get managed in real time. Positions are rolled, partial profits are taken, capital is freed up, and risk is reduced without killing the upside. This is how professionals stay consistent over hundreds of trades instead of blowing up after a few wins.Halfway through, the logic behind rolling options is explained in plain language. Rolling isn't about predicting the future. It's about reacting to price movement, volatility, and predefined rules so emotions never get involved. That one shift alone changes how trading feels.Here's what you'll walk away understanding:✅ Why liquidity is the number one filter before any options trade✅ How to spot options with low extrinsic value and better odds✅ What bid ask spreads really cost you over time✅ How to choose expiration dates based on data, not hope✅ Why targeting a specific delta removes overthinkingYou'll also see how different trading plans work together, from aggressive setups to defensive ETF positions to sitting in cash when nothing lines up. Sitting in cash is treated as a smart decision, not a missed opportunity. That mindset saves more accounts than any indicator ever will.Throughout the video, OVTLYR is used to manage trades, track exits, and stay aligned with a proven plan. Everything revolves around process, discipline, and risk first. No predictions. No magic indicators. Just structure and consistency.If the goal is to stop guessing, stop reacting emotionally, and start thinking like a professional investor, this video gives you a real-world blueprint. Watch it closely, pause when needed, and pay attention to the rules, not the noise.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Glenn Dubin was not some distant, accidental acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein. He was deeply embedded in Epstein's personal and financial orbit for years, benefiting directly from Epstein's money, connections, and influence while later claiming ignorance of Epstein's criminal behavior. Epstein invested tens of millions of dollars in Dubin's hedge fund, Highbridge Capital, helped smooth relationships with JPMorgan Chase, and acted as a financial patron at critical moments in Dubin's rise. On a personal level, Epstein dated Dubin's wife Eva Andersson-Dubin, remained close to the family long after that relationship ended, and was even named godfather to one of the Dubins' children. This was not casual proximity; it was intimate, sustained access. For Dubin to later position himself as merely another wealthy figure who crossed Epstein's path strains credibility, especially given how tightly Epstein's money, social life, and leverage were woven into Dubin's professional success.Virginia Giuffre's allegation cuts straight through the “unknowing bystander” narrative. In sworn statements and civil filings, she has said that Glenn Dubin was the first man Jeffrey Epstein “gave” her to after she was trafficked into Epstein's control as a teenager. That claim places Dubin not on the periphery but at the very beginning of her exploitation. Dubin has denied the allegation, and no criminal charges have been brought, but the gravity of the accusation cannot be dismissed as gossip or tabloid noise. Giuffre has been consistent over many years, under oath, and across multiple proceedings, and her account aligns with the broader, well-documented pattern of Epstein using powerful friends as both participants and proof of protection. The fact that Dubin continued to enjoy elite status, minimal scrutiny, and public sympathy while survivors' claims were sidelined is emblematic of how Epstein's network insulated itself. Dubin's closeness to Epstein, combined with Giuffre's allegation, places him squarely within the moral and factual shadow of Epstein's trafficking operation, whether the legal system has chosen to confront that reality or not.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin was first person Ghislaine Maxwell told Virginia Roberts Giuffre to have sex with, unsealed Jeffrey Epstein files allege | Daily Mail Online

California was plunged into chaos this week after a union proposed a 5% wealth tax on billionaires. The threat of the “Billionaire Tax” has already sparked a mass exodus from the state, with an estimated $1 trillion of wealth reportedly gone overnight. Steve explains how this reckless Sacramento stunt will hurt taxpayers at every level. Then, Jennifer Horn joins us to discuss the U-Haul truck that plowed through an anti-Iranian regime protest in Los Angeles, Gavin Newsom's fiscally insane budget proposal and Spencer Pratt's run for mayor of LA. And finally, Pastor Mike McClure of Calvary Chapel San Jose joins the show to explain why his church is still battling $1.2 million in COVID fines — more than five years later.

Glenn Dubin was not some distant, accidental acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein. He was deeply embedded in Epstein's personal and financial orbit for years, benefiting directly from Epstein's money, connections, and influence while later claiming ignorance of Epstein's criminal behavior. Epstein invested tens of millions of dollars in Dubin's hedge fund, Highbridge Capital, helped smooth relationships with JPMorgan Chase, and acted as a financial patron at critical moments in Dubin's rise. On a personal level, Epstein dated Dubin's wife Eva Andersson-Dubin, remained close to the family long after that relationship ended, and was even named godfather to one of the Dubins' children. This was not casual proximity; it was intimate, sustained access. For Dubin to later position himself as merely another wealthy figure who crossed Epstein's path strains credibility, especially given how tightly Epstein's money, social life, and leverage were woven into Dubin's professional success.Virginia Giuffre's allegation cuts straight through the “unknowing bystander” narrative.

California just watched $1 trillion in billionaire wealth vanish into thin air—and they're shocked that rich people don't actually love paying confiscatory taxes. Who could have seen this coming? The state's genius move: announce a retroactive 5% wealth tax on billionaires, give them zero time to react, and act surprised when Larry Page, Larry Ellison, and Peter Thiel head for the exits. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom lectures about "fairness" from his $9.2 million mansion while promoting the exact policies driving productive citizens out of the state.Here's what the politicians won't tell you: when billionaires flee, the middle class and working families get stuck with the bill. Washington state is speedrunning the same playbook with their millionaire's tax. Texas and Florida are rolling out the red carpet while blue states tax themselves into oblivion. The U-Haul index doesn't lie—more people are leaving California than any other state.Is taxing your golden geese into extinction really "good for innovation"? How long before the last person turns off the lights in Sacramento? Drop your thoughts below, and if you're tired of watching states commit economic suicide, subscribe for more reality checks on government insanity.

Two billionaire brothers from New Zealand just scooped up 16 prime Malibu beachfront lots for $65 million—and their genius plan? Ship in prefab homes manufactured in China. What could possibly go wrong? While devastated fire victims navigate California's nightmarish permit process (12-24 months just for approval), these surf-bro billionaires claim they're doing it out of love for Malibu. Sure, guys. Nothing says "community rebuilding" like factory-built Chinese imports on some of America's most prestigious waterfront real estate. The city has issued only 22 permits in Malibu versus 1,300+ in Pacific Palisades, leaving desperate homeowners with few options. Enter the Mobre brothers with their "altruistic" cash offers. Do you trust billionaires claiming they're not in it for profit? Will homes built in 4-6 weeks even meet California building codes? Should iconic American coastline be rebuilt with foreign prefabs while local contractors sit idle? Drop your thoughts below. Like and subscribe for updates on this absolute circus as it unfolds.

Coming off the heels of an already highly partisan, controversial ballot initiative season, Golden State voters are again being presented a choice that will have ramifications for generations to come: The Billionaire Tax Act. During the upcoming general election this fall, California voters will choose whether to impose a one-time 5% tax on residents with net worths over $1 billion, with the goal of raising over $100 billion.  California Representative Ro Khanna, a purported 2028 presidential hopeful whose district includes the corporate headquarters of Silicon Valley's elites, like Apple and Intel, has already endorsed the wealth tax. Makes sense? No, not really. California's roughly 200 billionaires,  “pay 47% of the taxes that go into the general fund.  And what we're doing here in California is we have decided that we need to make a hundred billion dollars, right? And the way to get to it is to create this tax on things that have not been sold yet. So the way to get to it is to do a one time 5% charge on the 200 earners in the state that pay the most in taxes already,” argues Daily Signal California Commentator Elaine Culotti.

An estimated trillion dollars of wealth has already left California with more billionaires preparing to leave the state after a proposed 5% tax on its wealthiest residents. What will democrats do when the well officially runs dry? RINO Thom Tillis is not pleased that fed chair Jerome Powell faces a perjury investigation into the monster cost overruns of the Fed HQ redo. Tillis threatens to vote down any Trump Fed chair nominee if Powell isn't let off the hook. Interesting. Liberals protesting ICE in America should rally behind the people of Iran who are actually fighting for their lives.
