Daylight Saving Time: What does Trump say about changing clocks? Daylight Saving Time is ending this weekend, but will President Donald Trump push to end it permanently?

A new report shows New Zealanders are taking more sick leave - and that it cost the economy more than $4 billion last year. Business New Zealand chief executive Katherine Rich spoke to Corin Dann.

Mark Carney's first federal budget is out, and it's a bold statement from a Prime Minister trying to prove he's not just the banker-in-chief, but a nation-builder with a plan. Billions are flowing into housing, clean energy, and industry, but does any of this actually benefit Alberta? Is Budget 2025 economic vision — or political survival disguised as one? 4:30 | We set the table by hearing from opposition party leaders Pierre Poilievre, Yves-François Blanchet, and Don Davies. 12:00 | What does this budget do to address economic lags, troubling regional trends, and Canada's housing crunch? Heather Thomson (Edmonton Chamber of Commerce), Kalen Anderson (BILD Edmonton Metro), and Mike Saunders (Qualico) give us the pros and cons of Budget 2025.

When the bubble pops, what's left standing? Everyone's calling AI a bubble — and yeah, there's some wild stuff happening behind the scenes. Billions changing hands between the same few tech giants. Investments that look more like circular loans than innovation. But what if the real bubble isn't AI at all? Rob breaks down what's really inflating, what's not, and why your business shouldn't lose sleep over it. The headlines may sound like the sky's falling, but the tools driving real results aren't going anywhere. Some bubbles burst. Others just float higher. Listen now to hear Rob's take on which kind this is and why the real value of AI doesn't care what the stock chart says.

Here we go again! Progressive cities are hemorrhaging BILLIONS as retail crime explodes 93% since 2019, yet they keep telling us crime is down. Right. New York tourism tanks by $4 billion while San Francisco's downtown sits at a staggering 34.8% vacancy rate. But hey, let's double down on the same failed policies!We're diving into the real cost of soft-on-crime leadership - from Seattle's $9 billion budget managed by someone who's never run a business, to Portland's iconic Big Pink selling for 90% below market value. When stores lock up contact solution but leave adult toys accessible, you know we've lost the plot. These aren't just shoplifting statistics - we're talking food deserts, business exodus, and property owners suing cities for decimating their investments.Is anyone surprised that billion-dollar corporations would rather retreat than keep bleeding money? What happens when you elect leaders who think defund the police was a stroke of genius? The numbers don't lie, folks - this is what happens when ideology trumps common sense.

What makes a great venture capitalist — luck, timing, or the ability to see what others miss?Brij Bhushan (Prime Venture Partners) and Pratik Poddar (Nexus Venture Partners) talk about the long game of venture capital; the waiting, the lessons hidden in mistakes, and the emotional ride of backing founders through years of uncertainty.With Pratik, we dive into some of the biggest names in the Nexus portfolio: his first meeting with Rapido's founder before he even joined Nexus, the Meesho pitch that became a big miss, and his first call with Zepto's founders. Nexus was one of Zepto's earliest investors and has backed the company in every round since. Pratik speaks with great clarity about conviction, timing, and what truly defines great investing.Brij reflects on his decade of building Magicpin, what it means to “build the same company three times,” and how that journey reshaped the way he now works with founders. Having lived through the chaos of scaling, near-failure, and reinvention, he brings the founder's perspective back into venture capital.Together, Brij and Pratik capture the essence of the VC game — how the industry is evolving, why consensus rarely creates outliers, how real decisions are made inside funds, and why the best founders often seem “too early” rather than too late. We talk about everything that shapes a VC's everyday life, and above all why Brij and Pratik believe it's still the best job in the world.0:00 – Trailer01:59 – Biggest learnings from 10 years as a VC05:00 – Rapido as a counterintuitive bet06:49 – Meesho was a big miss10:20 – Why Venture capital is the best job?12:35 – Every meeting could be life-changing14:54 – Knowing you are NOT in an Operating role16:55 – How often are VCs wrong about market size?18:58 – Where to invest in Consumer companies?25:33 – How consumer VCs bet on behavior change27:12 – Is e-commerce truly built for young users?28:10 – How do Investors deal with Bias?30:04 – Are VCs only remembered for success stories?37:45 – Why good deals rarely come from Consensus?39:24 – The first call with Zepto's founders41:10 – How often do you meet truly exceptional founders?43:45 – Should VCs react to market shifts?46:42 – How long VC's take to make an investment decision?50:53 – How founders should approach fundraising54:27 – Can India produce 50 decacorns in the next few years?55:51 – Best way to play VC game is to have right fund size56:42 – Not Knowing is a pre-requisite for a VC1:00:41 – Exceptional founders have this superpower1:02:02 – Where Indian founders have a real edge1:05:14 – Building AI in India: local maxima or global maxima?1:09:00 – When will Indian Co's acquire Indian startups for $Billions?1:11:55 – Why Zomato & Swiggy aren't true Consumer Co's?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

The Stinchfield Podcast exposes the staggering waste, fraud, and abuse inside America’s SNAP food stamp program. Billions of taxpayer dollars are being drained each year as illegal aliens and ineligible recipients take advantage of a system meant to feed the truly needy. Meanwhile, the data shows an uncomfortable truth — SNAP recipients are, on average, significantly more overweight than Americans who aren’t on the program. This is the result of a bloated bureaucracy that rewards dependency instead of discipline. Grant breaks it all down and demands accountability from Washington for this out-of-control welfare scam. Plus, Grant rips into 60 Minutes for its disgracefully biased interview with President Trump on Sunday night. Once again, the corporate media tried to smear the former president while ignoring the fact that the American people overwhelmingly stand with him. 60 Minutes may have lost touch with reality — but Stinchfield hasn’t. https://GrantLovesGold.com Https://Get20Now.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the wake of one of the most intense hurricanes on record, Bill Gates wants you to know that climate change is no biggie.  Meanwhile, we might see HIV rates spike 49% in the next five years if planned cuts go ahead. That's roughly 75,000 new cases.  In that same vein, as more than 40 million people lose their food stamps, the money keeps flowing to Israel - that's the type of funding we just can't live without, government shutdown or no!  And of course, Israel is flaunting its untouchable status, violating the ceasefire literally hundreds of times. Gaza is still being decimated, murdered, starved.  And in Sudan, UAE-backed forces commit horrific acts of torture and murder as part of a coalition of US and Israeli interest in Sudan's natural resources.  Because ultimately, when the going gets tough, the empire goes back to its roots, as a dealer of doom.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines this past week with a rare but buzzworthy combination of family life, pop culture throwbacks, and big-money business moves. Halloween 2025 was a classic Bieber affair as Justin, Hailey, and their one-year-old son Jack Blues Bieber stole the internet's heart with coordinated costumes inspired by Pixar's The Incredibles. Justin suited up as Mr Incredible, Hailey stunned as Elastigirl, and their son Jack Blues had everyone smiling as the adorable Jack-Jack. According to Netflix Junkie and repeated elsewhere by TMZ, social media went into overdrive when the Biebers posted family photos on X and Instagram, carefully maintaining Jack's privacy by keeping his face out of the spotlight while playing up the playful superhero theme. That costume reveal was only half the magic; Hailey's Instagram stories showed Jack Blues in a follow-up look as a mini version of Justin from his early YouTube years—the purple hoodie, white denim, it was a nostalgia bomb that had both new fans and diehards reminiscing about the pop icon's 2000s stardom. Us Weekly and ABS-CBN picked up the story and confirmed this cute nod to Justin's musical roots.Beyond Halloween, Bieber's business and personal life are still a media focus, especially after Hailey's huge payday: her beauty brand, rhode, was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion in late May. According to PEOPLE and AOL, those close to the Biebers say Justin is “beyond proud” of his wife's entrepreneurial leap, sharing her post and celebrating her new role as Chief Creative Officer. The magnitude of that deal means the Biebers are edging closer to billionaire status as a couple, though exact figures are hard to nail down.In other business news, rumors earlier this year swirled about Justin facing financial headaches linked to last year's tour cancellations and his decision to sell his music catalog for a reported $200 million. TMZ's documentary What Happened to Justin Bieber added fuel to the speculation, with claims that the sale was made under duress due to alleged financial strains, though Justin's representatives dismissed these reports as baseless clickbait. Amid this, Justin quietly separated from his now-iconic fashion line Drew House back in April, announcing via Instagram that he was no longer involved and teasing a new venture called SKYLRK, though he's kept details under wraps for now.On the social front, Justin and Hailey's Halloween antics were picked up by ThatGrapeJuice, adding them to lists with Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys, and Heidi Klum among the most dazzling Halloween appearances of 2025. There have been no confirmed hints of new music or major public appearances from Justin in the past week, but family moments and clever callbacks to his early career ensured that, once again, the Biebers dominated the pop culture conversation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Tempers flare as PBD, Tom, Brandon, and Bill Pulte dive into the government shutdown chaos. From SNAP spending and illegal immigration to AOC's “healthcare is a human right” claim, the panel debates who's really to blame—Congress, the White House, or a fractured GOP—and what it reveals about America's priorities.

A second person has died as a result of Wednesday's massive house fire in Ewa Beach. The man charged with manslaughter in a deadly Hawaii Island crash faces a judge and it's not his first time. Billions of dollars could be available to relieve hunger as SNAP benefits are expected to stop tomorrow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With SNAP benefits set to run dry this coming weekend, half of the states in this country (25) have joined in a lawsuit against the Trump administration for refusing to use the contingency fund for SNAP to prevent benefits from expiring and residents from going hungry. This total includes several deep red states that overwhelmingly voted for Trump, but even they can't deny the fact that HE is the one responsible for the benefits running dry - NOT the Democrats as Trump claims.A federal judge this week trashed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for repeatedly making false claims about a high profile defendant, in spite of the fact that they had already been ordered to stop. The defendant in question is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the administration is now attempting to deport him to Africa, but their rationale has repeatedly fallen through under the lightest scrutiny.The dating scene can be tough, and for conservative women in the very liberal city of Washington, D.C., it can be an absolute nightmare. The Washington Post caught up with some Republican women who are navigating the DC dating scene, and they didn't have any kind words to share about the MAGA men they've been introduced to. According to one woman - who happens to be a Congressional staffer on the Hill - MAGA men are simply not masculine enough to make her feel secure. That's a tough blow to a group of men that are already suffering from low self-esteem.Donald Trump is full of complaints. In fact, it is rare to find anything that actually brings him joy, other than when he lies about how great he is. But the President shared a meme this week thanking himself for "working like a dog" for "no money" for "ungrateful people" who don't appreciate his sacrifices. The man has already made BILLIONS of dollars this year alone off his crypto scams and deals with foreign governments, so anyone saying that he's working for "no money" is too stupid to talk about anything. Earlier this week, Farron compared to voter fraud as being as nonexistent as Bigfoot. That comment didn't sit well with some of our viewers, and they decided to let Farron know that Bigfoot is, in fact, very real.

Rob Arnott, founding chairman at Research Affiliates, says that classic index instruction has investors buying stocks after they get hot, dropping stocks after losses have occurred and missing out on several percentage points of return in the process. Arnott says the largest stocks earn their place in the index, but that the stocks that move into or out of an index — a process that is actively managed with the most-famous indexes — is where the trouble happens. As for the personal indexes that are arising these days, Arnott says that, in general, you'd be better off letting a cat pick the stocks for you. Olivia Valdes, senior researcher at the FINRA Foundation, discusses their research which shows that consumers and investors are vulnerable to fraud because more than half of them don't recognize the common signs that someone is trying to pull a scam. Plus, Chuck talks about how to calculate the expected value of a bet after a listener raises questions about the lottery option on his Halloween cash-or-candy game, and whether giving kids a second chance — the new twist Chuck is adding this year — doubles the odds of winning.

Washington State highways and bridges are in need of a serious refresh. That’s according to a WSDOT official who told the Washington State Transportation Commission this month: “We are in the early stages of critical failure due to lack of funding.” - Troy Suing, Director, Capital Program Development and Management, Washington State Department of Transportation “Preservation” generally refers to the long-term work needed to sustain already existing infrastructure. WSDOT says it’ll need an additional $8 billion dollars over the next decade to do that work. Jerry Cornfield at the Washington State Standard reported that while the Legislature did approve a 15.5 BILLION dollar budget for the next two years…. less than a billion dollars was earmarked for preservation over that time. That’s well short of the $1.6 Billion needed to keep pace with the wear and tear put on our state’s infrastructure.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Shakira's global stardom has blazed even brighter blending philanthropy art pop sensation and historical homecomings. According to AllHipHop and as widely covered in international news Shakira just joined superstar The Weeknd on the newly launched FIFA Global Citizen Education Board aimed at steering a 100 million dollar campaign to help children access education worldwide—a mission that is as ambitious as her artistic career. This huge initiative announced by FIFA and Global Citizen includes other luminaries like Serena Williams and Ivanka Trump and will leverage their combined platforms to reach 100000 kids in over 200 communities. With more than 350 million children currently out of school Shakira's involvement is being spotlighted as both strategic and deeply personal underscoring her ongoing dedication to social issues which look likely to define her legacy as much as her music.But it's not just in boardrooms and philanthropy where Shakira is making noise. The singer just performed two sold-out concerts in Cali Colombia over the past weekend creating what Spreaker described as a triumphant homecoming moment cheered on by fans and media alike. These concert dates come as part of Shakira's monumental Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour which began earlier this year in Brazil and is already setting records for attendance and gross receipts. Billions in production dollars are reportedly behind this globe-spanning tour which sees Shakira herself calling it the most ambitious of her career with bigger venues added across the Americas to meet overwhelming demand. Adjustments remain par for the course—recent cancellations included Miami and Inglewood due to local protests and San Antonio owing to venue issues—but each time she emerges back on stage to sold-out crowds and standing ovations. Her shows have featured surprise duets with Latin stars like Maluma Ozuna and Alejandro Sanz and this October she drew viral attention on Instagram sharing behind-the-scenes footage from her tour rehearsals clearly signaling her direct involvement in every stage detail.There is more on the horizon—NosEnchanteurs confirms Shakira's November will include three headline concerts in Ecuador lighting up a new swath of South American audiences. Social media has been ablaze with anticipation for these dates especially given her historic return to Colombia and the critical acclaim surrounding her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. Pop culture coverage continues to be dominated by Shakira's life on and off stage with her activism concert spectacles and infectious social posts keeping her trending worldwide. Her appearance in FIFA's headline-grabbing campaign and her relentless tour momentum are not just newsworthy events but milestones certain to endure in the story of one of music's most influential icons.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this alarming episode of Stinchfield, we pull back the curtain on a massive, under-reported scandal within Obamacare — one that hits taxpayers, honest insurers, and American healthcare consumers alike. Recent data from the Paragon Health Institute reveals a startling finding: by 2024, 35 % of all enrollees in ACA marketplace plans made no medical claims whatsoever — no doctor visit, no lab work, no prescriptions.That’s more than 11 million people enrolled in coverage yet using nothing. Analysts suggest many of these enrollees may be phantoms — individuals signed up without their knowledge or eligibility, or already covered elsewhere. If you’ve ever questioned whether the healthcare-insurance-government axis is working for you or against you, this episode is for you. Join Grant Stinchfield as we expose the shadow side of “free” coverage—and who’s really paying for it.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1181: Today we're talking about an EV market hitting the brakes post–tax credit, why most electric drivers are just fine charging at home, and Amazon's billion-dollar bet on future jobs—while cutting tens of thousands of its own.Show Notes with links:The EV market is undergoing a “recalibration” following the end of the federal $7,500 tax credit. J.D. Power says October electric vehicle deliveries are expected to drop 43% from last year, taking EV market share from 8.5% down to just 5.2%.The September “last call” for the credit pushed EV share to nearly 13%, creating a hangover in October sales.Gasoline models now account for nearly 80% of retail sales, while hybrids jumped two full points to 14%J.D. Power's Tyson Jominy. “The recent EV market correction underscores a critical lesson: Consumers prefer having access to a range of powertrain options.”Do you imagine EV drivers are circling parking lots hunting for chargers? Think again. About 80% of all EV charging happens right at home — quietly, conveniently, and far cheaper than fueling up at a gas pump.The International Energy Agency reports 83% of EV charging in the U.S. and 80% in Canada happens at home.J.D. Power's EV Experience Study shows drivers rate home charging satisfaction at 85/100 versus just 50/100 for public chargers.“Home charging remains the single biggest advantage of owning an EV,” said Brent Gruber, executive director of EV practice at J.D. Power.Amazon is sending a mixed message to the labor market this week. The tech giant is investing billions to train millions for the “future of work” — while preparing to lay off tens of thousands of its own.The company launched Future Ready 2030, a $2.5 billion initiative aimed at training 50 million employees, students, and job seekers worldwide.At the same time, Amazon is reportedly cutting up to 30,000 corporate jobs, about 10% of its white-collar workforce — its largest round of layoffs since 2022.“Whether someone dreams of working at Amazon, works here now, or has moved on to their next chapter, our goal is the same: helping them have access to the education and training needed to thrive in whatever comes next,” said Beth Galetti, Amazon's SVP of People Experience and Technology.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:15 Paul's hat from Kazakhstan2:05 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with foureyes on Nov. 53:00 EV Market Hits Recalibration in October6:17 83% of American EV Drivers Charge At Home9:42 Amazon Invests $2.5B In Training, Cuts 30K White-Collar JobsJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Today a parliamentary report has sharply criticised the Home Office's management of the asylum system that has led to "billions" of pounds being wasted. It said the government has repeatedly cut corners and wasted taxpayers' money with its “failed, chaotic and expensive” system. It comes as the Housing Secretary has said that progress on ending the use of hotels for asylum accommodation will be announced “within weeks”. Daniel Sohege, a specialist in international refugee law and protection, and the director of human rights organisation Stand For All, is here to discuss the news. And in part two, The Standard's Entertainment Editor Lisa McLoughlin joins us as it's been revealed that Hollywood A-list couple Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have moved to the leafy north London suburb of Hampstead.

While I was working on this painting of US oligarch Jeff Bezos I kept thinking about a speech he gave in 2019 where he laid out his nightmarish vision for the future of the human species. Bezos described a future where the overwhelming majority of humans are shipped off to space to live their lives inside “O'Neill colonies” — giant cylinders which rotate to simulate Earth's gravity. Only a privileged few would get to remain on humanity's home world, where the ecosystem would be able to repair and thrive now that it's not being overburdened by more humans than it can handle. One doesn't have to stretch the imagination to guess which side of the equation Bezos envisions himself and his family winding up on in this scenario. Press enter or click to view image in full size As I was painting I kept thinking about how horrific it would be if Bezos' plan for humanity was ever put into place, because you know hardly anyone would leave this planet voluntarily. Billions of people would be forced onto space ships bound for these giant spinning space stations, their hearts breaking at the unimaginable loss of their indigenous home world. It would be like a planet-wide Nakba. A Trail of Tears for our entire species. Press enter or click to view image in full size The freaks who rule our world do not have a healthy vision for humanity's future. Their best ideas are a normal person's worst nightmare. Jeff Bezos envisions ecocidal capitalism being allowed to tick along completely unrestricted and unhindered, with humanity rescuing itself from disaster at the last minute by shipping most of itself off planet to live inside giant Amazon space dildos. That's his best and brightest plan. Press enter or click to view image in full size Our rulers are not good people. They are not wise. They are not compassionate. They aren't even particularly intelligent. They just happen to be good at winning the capitalism game by moving the circumstances of our society around in such a way that the numbers in their bank accounts grow very large. This is not a healthy way for us to live. We cannot keep doing this. Reading by Tim Foley.

Everyone says the key to success is to keep moving forward: innovate, adapt, stay “ahead of the curve.” But what if the real edge in business isn't pushing forward at all? What if the future actually belongs to the people who slow down, look backward, and go deeper instead of wider? We live in a culture obsessed with scale and shortcuts. The next strategy, the next AI tool, and the next secret hack. Yet the people who consistently rise to the top all share a different obsession: repetition.  They return to the same core fundamentals over and over again until mastery turns into momentum. While most get distracted by trends, they build empires by doing the boring things no one else has the patience for. What separates exceptional business owners from everyone else? How do you get the edge in business?  In this episode, we're joined by one of the most sought-after performance coaches in real estate and leadership, Jon Cheplak.  We talk about why most business problems are really personal ones, why mindset outweighs strategy 99 to 1, and why mastering the mundane may be the most rebellious act in a world addicted to novelty.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The myth of innovation Everyone's obsessed with what's next. But what if the real secret to scaling isn't adding something new, it's going back to what already works? Discipline over motivation Motivation fades, but discipline compounds. How do top performers stay consistent when the work gets boring? Mastery of the mundane Elite operators don't chase dopamine; they chase depth. Why is the ability to “embrace the boring” the true mark of greatness? The personal problem behind every business problem When your health, mindset, or relationships falter, your business will too. What if success is simply who you are being magnified?   Guest Bio Jon Cheplak is one of the most sought-after real estate leadership and productivity coaches and consultants on the planet. He is the creator of a system and process that speeds up growth and increases profits through the attraction, development, and retention of productive agents, and over the years, adding BILLIONS in sales volumes to real estate teams and companies throughout the world.

Across Europe, governments made the same mistake: they let the Muslim Brotherhood in under the disguise of “charities,” “schools,” and “community groups.” What followed was predictable, and devastating. Terror attacks. Antisemitic mobs. Neighborhoods where police won't enter. Billions in taxpayer costs to clean up the chaos. Now the same network is building here in America.

Former Trump attorney Christina Bobb joins Grant Stinchfield for a hard-hitting conversation about the rot inside America’s justice system. Bobb pulls no punches as she lays out how FBI Director Christopher Wray may actually be worse than James Comey — the same Comey who launched the weaponization of the DOJ against conservatives. According to Bobb, Wray has perfected the art of political targeting under a false guise of “neutral enforcement,” creating a federal police force that punishes dissent and protects the ruling elite. This episode exposes the quiet coup that’s turned the FBI into a political enforcement arm of the Democrat Party. In the second half, Stinchfield shines a light on the hijacking of America’s “Homeless Industrial Complex.” Billions meant to help the vulnerable are being funneled into radical nonprofits with ties to anti-American causes — and even terror-linked groups like Hamas. What started as compassion has turned into corruption, and taxpayers are footing the bill for a dangerous network of ideological laundering.
