Podcasts about billions

It's the end of the year, (congress is in recess), so there's not much on until next week- which leaves me with not much to talk about.  But, I do have updates in the fraud going on in Minnesota. (If the $9 Billion in fraud already uncovered, wasn't enough), Somalian ran day care centers receiving millions of dollars in federal money,- are a scam.  I do have the exclusives on that.  Jasmine Crockett announced that she is running for the US Senate seat in texts against Ted Cruz.  Another woman was fired from her job after a video of her went viral of her harassing a guy wearing a MAGA hat.  (Her employer says that she is embarassing the company).  -Thank you for listening!- Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brian-wallenberg-show--3256416/support.

Rich Zeoli sits in for Dana. An independent citizen journalist goes viral for exposing the massive fraud in Minnesota's daycare system. Gov. Tim Walz ignores questions about the Billions in fraud that is happening under his watch. Democrats are already planning to impeach Trump if they take over power. An experiment is conducted involving an AI office vending machine at the Wall Street Journal office that ended up giving in to ridiculous demands including staging a coup against their boss and losing hundreds in profits. President Trump hosts Zelensky following his phone call with Putin. Is there an end in sight? The FBI announces their investigation into the Minnesota daycare fraud scandal. A Somali on TikTok says people who are concerned about the scandal have no life and are depressed. Did Gavin Newsom's COVID lockdowns forever change the production of movies?Thank you for supporting our sponsors that make The Dana Show possible…Patriot Mobilehttps://PatriotMobile.com/Dana  OR CALL 972-PATRIOTWhat are you waiting for?

Which state is the fraud capital of America? California or Minnesota? That’s the question today as two deep-blue states race to the bottom in a competition no one should want to win. We start in California, where the state auditor just dropped a devastating report, flagging eight major state agencies as “high risk” for waste, fraud, abuse, and outright mismanagement. Billions of taxpayer dollars, little accountability, and a system that seems engineered to fail while politicians pat themselves on the back and ask for more money. Then we turn to Minnesota, where investigative journalist Nick Shirley exposes another blue-state disaster—fraud schemes so blatant they look almost cartoonish. From taxpayer-funded programs turned into personal piggy banks to officials asleep at the wheel, Minnesota is making a serious run at stealing California’s crown. Two states. Same ideology. Same results.Exploding budgets. Vanishing money. No consequences. Today we break down how California and Minnesota are competing for the title of worst-run, most fraud-ridden state in America, and why this isn’t bad luck—it’s the predictable outcome of one-party rule and zero accountability.

The fight over the soul of higher education is very alive right now, with the Trump administration engaged in dozens of investigations and multiple lawsuits against colleges and universities around the country. Billions of research dollars at those schools have been frozen, too. So today, in a special series called Code Switch History Class, we're looking back at another time of upheaval — a long, bloody strike at San Francisco State that forever changed higher education in the United States.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Your Nebraska Update headlines for today, Dec. 24, include: University of Nebraska-Lincoln Center for Agricultural Profitability study estimates closure of Tyson Foods plant in Lexington will lead to billions of dollars in long-term economic losses statewide, former U.S. Senator Ben Sasse announces stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis, Attorney General Mike Hilgers dismisses lawsuit against Omaha Public Power District, debate continues over whether public universities should disclose athlete compensation records, Nebraska churches report growth and expanding congregations in 2025.

Michael and I would like to take a moment and thank all of our great Subscribers and patrons this year. It has been a wildly successful growth year in listens, watches, and articles read, and we are truly blessed to see it. We are striving to improve and keep growing with some different things rolling out next year.While the cancellation is under review with the Department of War for national security risks, I think that if science is applied, it will be an easy ruling. So after reading about these cancellations, I wanted to see who would be impacted by the company and how consumers would be impacted. This will be an ongoing story as it unfolds, but the high utility costs will be passed on to consumers. And make no mistake, the Democrats will use this to their advantage, and Republicans won't do anything.President Trump and Secretaries Doug Burgum and Chris Wright are running down the road trying to do the right thing for the American People. The costs associated with the project are going to be huge, and when the Democrats start ripping President Trump over this, remember the Billions of dollars and the crippling of the economy that Obama, Biden, and the governors of Democratic states cost the US citizens by their overreach and Net Zero enforcement of horrific policies. The main topics discussed1. The Trump administration's cancellation of several major offshore wind projects in the U.S. due to national security concerns. The projects mentioned include Vineyard Wind One, Revolution Wind, Sunrise Wind, Coastal Virginia Wind Offshore, and Empire Wind.2. The potential impact of these project cancellations on companies involved, such as Dominion Energy, GE Vernova, Orsted, and Equinor. The transcript discusses the financial performance and stock price movements of these companies.3. The debate around the definition of "green energy" and the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar into the power grid, including issues around transmission, costs, and reliability.4. The delay or cancellation of the retirement of some fossil fuel power plants in the U.S. in response to increasing electricity demand, particularly from the growth of AI and data centers.5. The global oil market dynamics, including the "oil glut" with a large number of oil tankers at sea, the impact of sanctions on major producers like Russia and Venezuela, and discussions around OPEC's role in oil price determination.6. The overall commentary on the state of the energy industry, policy debates, and Stu's perspectives on the various topics covered.1.All Large Scale Offshore Wind Projects Under Construction Suspended Due to National Security Concerns2.Virginia-based Utility Dominion Energy May Be Hit as Investors Eye This Week's Offshore Wind Cancellations3.GE Vernova Inc: Supplier to Vineyard Wind, Looking at Its Books After This Week's Trump Administration Cancellation of Projects4.U.S. Fossil-Fuel Power Plants Delay Retirement as AI Power Demand Soars5.Oil Glut and Surging Barrels at Sea Have Spooked Oil Traders and the Market, but Is This Market Dysfunction Rather Than a Glut?6.U.S. Department of Energy to Return $13 Billion to the Treasury and a clear definition of green energy is needed.Feel Free to use this as an excuse to not hang out with your in-laws if you need to over the holidays.

Allen covers forecasts for 46 GW of new US wind capacity by 2029, driven by data centers and reshoring. Plus Equinor’s Empire Wind project stays on track for late 2026, RWE gets approval for the Five Estuaries offshore wind farm in the UK, and a Scottish startup raises funding for modular multi-rotor turbines.

There is an old saying about the wind. You cannot see it. You cannot hold it. But you can harness it. And right now, people around the world are doing exactly that. After years of sluggish growth, American wind power is waking up. Wood Mackenzie reports the United States will add more than seven gigawatts of new wind capacity in 2025. That is a thirty-six percent jump from this year. And by 2029? Forty-six gigawatts of new capacity coming online. Why now? Because after a decade of flat electricity demand, America is hungry for power again. Data centers. Electric vehicles. Factories returning home. Demand is growing three percent annually now, up from less than one percent before. Out West, they are leading the charge. Wyoming. New Mexico. Colorado. Pattern Energy’s three-point-five gigawatt SunZia project in New Mexico alone will make them the top wind installer in 2026. And Invenergy’s Towner Energy Center in Colorado? Nine hundred ninety-eight megawatts. The single largest project expected to come online in 2027. But here is where it gets interesting. Off the coast of Long Island, a different kind of story is unfolding. The Empire Wind project. Eight hundred ten megawatts of offshore wind power. Enough to power half a million homes in Brooklyn. Norwegian energy giant Equinor is building it. And despite the political headwinds blowing against offshore wind, New York is standing firm. First electricity expected by late 2026. Across the Atlantic, Britain just gave the green light to something bigger. The Five Estuaries offshore wind farm. Seventy-nine turbines off the coast of Suffolk and Essex. At least twenty-three miles from shore. German energy company RWE is building it. When complete, it will power one million British homes. One million. Meanwhile, Europe is putting its money where the wind blows. Austria’s Erste Group just signed a two hundred million euro deal with the European Investment Bank. Part of an eight billion euro program to strengthen European wind turbine manufacturers. As Karl Nehammer, the bank’s vice president, put it: Europe is serious about keeping wind manufacturing jobs at home. Now… You might think wind power is all about going big. Massive offshore farms. Turbines taller than skyscrapers. But in Stirling, Scotland, three entrepreneurs have a different idea. Adam Harris. Paul Pirrie. Peter Taylor. They founded a company called Myriad Wind Energy Systems. Their invention? Small modular wind turbines. Multiple rotors mounted in a framework. No cranes needed. No special roads. Install them on a farm. On a factory. On a remote site where traditional turbines could never go. This week, they secured eight hundred sixty-five thousand pounds in seed funding. Led by Tricapital Angels. Their first prototype? A fifty-kilowatt unit scheduled for 2026. From Wyoming to New York. From Essex to Austria. From the North Sea to the Scottish Highlands. Wind energy is not waiting for permission. It is happening. Forty-six gigawatts in America alone by decade’s end. Billions of euros flowing in Europe. Innovators in Scotland proving that sometimes, smaller is smarter. You cannot see the wind. But you can see what it is building. That’s the wind industry news for the 22nd of December 2025. Happy Holidays folks, wherever you may be.

From a shocking twist in the Brown–MIT shooting investigation to staggering claims of billions in alleged government looting, this episode covers it all. Tara breaks down how online sleuths uncovered connections authorities initially denied, how a homeless Reddit tipster helped crack a murder case, and why prosecutors say Medicaid fraud isn't just overbilling—it's entirely fake companies stealing at scale. Add in visa programs, Ukraine funding, NGO money laundering, and generational debt, and the picture that emerges is unsettling. This isn't just crime—it's a system under strain.

Even The New York Times admits it. A staggering fraud scandal in Minnesota exposes how welfare systems, voter registration, and federal benefits may be intertwined in what critics call a massive looting and laundering operation. From Medicaid to SNAP, billions of dollars are allegedly siphoned through state-run programs—while whistleblowers are punished and accountability disappears. This episode breaks down the claims, the admissions, and why some say this represents something far bigger than ordinary fraud.

A shocking convergence of stories exposes what critics call a system in collapse—from a sprawling Medicaid fraud scandal measured in the billions, to a chilling campus shooting case spanning Brown University and MIT. As investigators uncover shell companies, alleged political protection, and a whistleblower trail that went ignored, a separate manhunt ends with a homeless tipster cracking a case authorities said couldn't be solved. This episode asks a hard question: Is this negligence, or something far more deliberate?

A shocking arrest, a record-breaking fraud scandal, and a system Americans are rapidly losing faith in. Tara breaks down how the Brown University shooter was also the MIT murderer, why authorities initially denied the connection, and how the truth emerged anyway. But that's just the beginning. The episode dives into what may be the largest theft from the federal government in U.S. history—potentially $18 BILLION funneled through Minnesota alone—along with evidence suggesting officials looked the other way. The result? A growing sense that taxpayers are being looted on an industrial scale.

Billions in federal spending, from welfare to Medicare and Medicaid, have failed to revive a county that's lost nearly 70% of its population. Instead, dependency has replaced aspiration, and entire towns are fading away. In this episode, Chris revisits Appalachia, the legacy of LBJ's Great Society, and the harsh reality of economic decline. Drawing on Joseph Schumpeter's “creative destruction” and a blunt insight from comedian Sam Kinison, we ask the uncomfortable question: would it be better to help people move to opportunity rather than endlessly pouring money into places with no future—and even return some areas to nature?

This year, Silicon Valley poured its collective resources in AI. Billions  and billions of dollars.

2025-12-17 | UPDATES #081 | The clock is ticking for Abramovich and his Chelsea Billions. How much, why now and what it means. Three and a half years. That's how long £2.5 billion — money publicly promised for Ukraine — has sat frozen in a UK bank account after Roman Abramovich's forced sale of Chelsea. Today, Keir Starmer has finally stopped treating it like an awkward footnote and started treating it like what it is: a test of state power in a full-scale hybrid war. (Reuters)----------SOURCES: UK Government (GOV.UK), “Government gives Abramovich final chance…” (17 Dec 2025)Reuters, “UK tells Abramovich to give Chelsea sale cash…” (17 Dec 2025)Financial Times, “Starmer moves to transfer £2.5bn…” (17 Dec 2025)The Guardian, “UK gives Abramovich final warning…” (17 Dec 2025)UK Parliament written statements portal (Reeves statement referenced), licence/foundation description (17 Dec 2025)Sky News explainer, legal mechanics and delay risk (17 Dec 2025)Bond (UK NGO network) reaction statement (17 Dec 2025)Ben Jacobs (social post highlighting legal/sanctions context) (17 Dec 2025)----------Silicon Curtain is a part of the Christmas Tree Trucks 2025 campaign - an ambitious fundraiser led by a group of our wonderful team of information warriors raising 110,000 EUR for the Ukrainian army. https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/christmas-tree-trucks-2025-silicon-curtainThe Goal of the Campaign for the Silicon Curtain community:- 1 armoured battle-ready pickupWe are sourcing all vehicles around 2010-2017 or newer, mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, with low mileage and fully serviced.

Cato's Michael Cannon and the Center for Long-Term Care Reform's Stephen Moses examine how Medicaid's long-term-care eligibility rules let middle- and upper-middle-class households shelter assets and shift costs onto taxpayers, driving up spending and lowering quality for the poor. Drawing on Moses's new Cato paper Better Long-Term Care for Billions Less, they explain how perverse incentives, generous exemptions, and weak estate recovery undermine private planning and inflate a program already consuming one-third of Medicaid's budget.

Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with Mary Theroux, editor of Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions, to expose why billions in government spending have failed to reduce homelessness and how Housing First policies often make the crisis worse. This episode breaks down the astronomical waste, the abysmal return on investment, and the rise of the homelessness industrial complex that thrives as conditions deteriorate. Mary explains why many nonprofits become corrupt when tied to endless government funding, why people sometimes die at higher rates in permanent supportive housing, and why purpose and agency matter far more than free housing. The conversation highlights successful, proven alternatives like Haven for Hope, the dangers of open-air drug markets, the collapse of mental health systems, and the urgent need for community involvement and real accountability. This is a must-listen episode for anyone who wants real solutions to one of America's most devastating problems. Episode Highlights Why massive government spending and Housing First policies have failed and can make homelessness worse How the homelessness industrial complex and corrupt nonprofits profit from crisis while outcomes decline Proven solutions like Haven for Hope and why purpose, accountability, and community involvement are essential to real recovery
