While most people are focused on mainstream economic indicators, a massive $1.7 to $1.8 trillion bubble has rapidly formed in the private credit market.What We Cover:The Private Credit Explosion: The injection of liquidity following the events of 2020 led to a massive boom in private credit , which consists of loans made by non-bank lenders.The Dominoes Falling: Major institutions like JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Blackstone are pumping the brakes, capping payouts, and halting fund redemptions.The Stagflation Threat: Geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz could cause oil shocks , which can keep inflation and interest rates elevated while defaults continue to rise.Real Estate Impacts: Cap rates are currently under pressure, margins are compressing , and refinancing windows are closing for commercial real estate and bridge loan borrowers.The Golden Opportunity: Investors who maintain liquidity and have dry powder will be well-positioned to capitalize on emerging distressed assets and motivated sellers.Episode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!

Mentor Sessions Ep. 058: Private Credit Breakdown, US Economic Risk, Canada Collapsing, Bitcoin vs CBDC | Richard Dias$1.8 trillion in private credit — and the cracks are already showing. Richard Dias, macro strategist and co-host of the Loonie Hour, lays out exactly why the next financial shock may already be in motion.Rich breaks down how decades of easy money built a private credit empire — and why rising rates, fund gating, and hidden markdowns signal the unraveling has begun. You'll learn why this rhymes with 2008 but hits differently, what central banks will likely do when it blows, and why Bitcoin may be the only credible exit from a system built on valuation lies.
Deutsche Bank. Wells Fargo. Both global systemically important banks are sitting here watching their stocks get pounded in the same way as BlackRock or Blackstone. Thankfully, not as bad as Blue Owl. Yet. And it is for the same reason. We know the private credit industry and shadow banks are in really bad shape. Markets are already looking outside of them to who might be next to have pay for really bad decisions.

Is the Sky Falling? Everywhere you turn, it seems someone is claiming that the world is coming to an end. On X, they were talking about Blackrock has limited withdrawals while Blackstone & Blue Owl also have issues. Ohio Senate President Rob McCauley didn't think it was possible to make up a $24 billion hole if property taxes get abolished while another Representative seemed surprised that local governments may have to examine their excessive spending if there are no property taxes. We do not see the sky falling. We see states other than Ohio coming up with solutions for funding that are not as problematic as property taxes. We see that governments and schools need to cut spending. We understand that a company's contract will dictate what will happen with funds and when those events may happen. You can listen to the legacy media repeating the same talking points and working to produce fear or you can learn to look at events with logic and see the big picture. We also talk about how Pacific Legal Foundation and the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law work every day to protect our Constitutional rights.

Now it's Morgan Stanley's turn. Yesterday it was Cliffwater. Before that BlackRock and Blackstone. Of course Blue Owl. Morgan Stanley's $8 billion North Haven Private Income Fund becomes the latest shadow banking giant to both get hit with massive investor withdrawals and to deny most of them. Cliffwater also decided it was going to do the same. No wonder you keep hearing more and more people make 2008 comparisons – and there's one more you definitely need keep in mind.

────────────────────────────────────────00:02:10:28 — Federal Officials Accused of Halting Epstein Ranch InvestigationJames Comer says the Trump Justice Department asked New Mexico officials to stop their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch after Epstein's death. The shutdown of the state probe raises questions about federal interference and the broader handling of Epstein-related evidence. ────────────────────────────────────────00:05:44:10 — Iran Threatens Global Trade by Choking the Strait of HormuzIran signals it could shut down or severely disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy and trade flows. Targeting ports, refineries, and shipping routes could cripple global supply chains far beyond the battlefield. ────────────────────────────────────────00:09:32:12 — UN Resolution Condemns Iran While Ignoring U.S. and Israeli StrikesMore than 80 nations support a UN Security Council resolution condemning Iranian actions against Gulf states while omitting criticism of U.S. or Israeli military operations. The move is portrayed as evidence of geopolitical double standards in international diplomacy. ────────────────────────────────────────00:13:33:20 — Trump Claims Victory in Iran War While Continuing Military OperationsTrump declares that the United States has already “won” the war with Iran but simultaneously says U.S. forces will remain engaged to finish the mission. The conflicting messaging raises uncertainty about the war's objectives and timeline. ────────────────────────────────────────00:15:12:06 — Pentagon Accused of Misjudging Iran's Decentralized War StrategyIran's “mosaic defense” doctrine—decentralized units designed to survive leadership decapitation strikes—is highlighted as a strategy U.S. planners allegedly underestimated. The discussion frames this as a major strategic blind spot in the war's early planning. ────────────────────────────────────────00:18:51:28 — Pentagon Seeks Expanded Domestic Surveillance PowersThe Defense Department reportedly pushes to remove restrictions limiting domestic surveillance, citing supply-chain security concerns. Critics warn the move would extend military monitoring powers into domestic affairs. ────────────────────────────────────────00:20:47:02 — Pentagon Tightens Control Over Media Coverage of the WarMajor media outlets lose Pentagon access after refusing to sign agreements restricting communication with sources. The policy leaves official Defense Department photographers and selected figures as the primary sources of wartime imagery. ────────────────────────────────────────00:40:35:02 — War in the Persian Gulf Sends Gold and Oil Prices SurgingFinancial analysts warn that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz are pushing oil and gold prices sharply higher. The situation is compared to the 1970s oil crisis and raises fears of global economic instability. ────────────────────────────────────────00:55:37:02 — War and Energy Shock Could Accelerate Collapse of Dollar DominanceAnalysts argue that rising oil prices, debt pressures, and central bank accumulation of gold could accelerate global de-dollarization. The conflict with Iran is framed as a catalyst for major changes in the global monetary system. ────────────────────────────────────────01:07:40:13 — Major Private Equity Firms Restrict Withdrawals Amid Liquidity StressBlackRock, Blackstone, and other firms reportedly halt outflows from certain private equity funds. The move signals potential financial stress tied to commercial real estate and tightening credit markets. ────────────────────────────────────────01:24:28:22 — Reports Claim Lindsey Graham Encouraged Netanyahu to Push Trump Toward WarAccording to reports, Senator Lindsey Graham traveled repeatedly to Israel and advised Netanyahu on persuading Trump to support military action against Iran. The claim suggests outside political lobbying contributed to escalation. ────────────────────────────────────────01:43:29:16 — Oil Supply Shock Could Trigger Global Inflation CrisisAnalysts warn that prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could drive hoarding, supply shortages, and rapidly rising energy prices. The scenario resembles historic oil embargoes that triggered worldwide inflation and economic turmoil. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Send a textIf you read the headlines about Private Credit, it feels like we're on the verge of another Global Financial Crisis. So, are we? In this Private Credit "state of the union" episode, we break down the structural differences between today's private credit market and the pre-GFC banking system, why the "private" in private credit makes it so hard to know how deep the problems actually go, and whether the knock-on effects to pensions, banks, and public markets could make this everyone's problem even if most Americans don't have direct exposure.We dig into the Blue Owl gating, redemption and markdown headlines at Blackstone and Blackrock, and what Boaz Weinstein's activist bid tells us about where these portfolios are actually worth. What's more, we ask whether the push to put private credit into 401(k)s and retail channels is democratizing wealth creation or backfilling institutional demand that's dried up. Plus: the "SaaSpocalypse" thesis, why Tuesday's record $66 billion day in IG bond issuance may be telling a very different story than private credit headlines, and more!For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HEREShop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

AI deployment is compressing margins and altering the economic structure of the IT services market, with digital platforms and private equity–backed consulting now determining who controls distribution, interfaces, and downstream value capture. As referenced by Dave Sobel, developments such as large language models reshaping search, IT distributors repositioning as digital marketplaces, and private equity standardizing AI consulting are reducing the role of traditional MSPs to commoditized implementation labor. Concrete market evidence includes the Global Technology Distribution Council's report citing that 80% of vendors see partner ecosystem growth as key, while 86% are using or testing digital platforms to drive cloud and AI services. Examples such as Anthropic's discussions to create AI consulting joint ventures with Blackstone and Hellman Friedman, as well as OpenAI's partnerships with Thrive Holdings and Shield Technology Partners, show that operational models are being standardized and consolidated. Meanwhile, AI-powered search is reducing clicks to original content by up to 89%, transferring value to whoever controls the user interface. Supporting data from surveys conducted by the SMB Group, Pega Systems, and Atlassian highlight that 53% of SMBs are using AI, but only 3% of organizations report measurable business transformation despite a 33% productivity boost. Consumers show distrust in AI-driven customer service, and employee burnout and reduced confidence indicate that MSPs are absorbing increased operational complexity and support burdens even as margins compress. These developments reinforce the channel consolidation and margin repricing mechanisms described above. For MSPs and IT leaders, the practical risks include growing dependency on distributor and vendor digital marketplaces, narrowing ability to influence platform economics, and the transfer of governance obligations without matching margin. Priority areas are building defensible, repeatable governance frameworks around AI, owning escalation and validation paths, and repositioning services toward process redesign engagements—not commoditized tool deployment. Failing to establish an IP or governance wedge may result in MSPs being locked into subcontractor roles with little leverage over pricing or client outcomes.

Markets are underestimating the gravity of what's unfolding in the Middle East, but Bitcoin is showing signs it might be pricing in the inevitable response.
This week on Swimming with Allocators, Marcia Mitchell joins Earnest and Alexa to trace her path from FF Venture Capital to New York Ventures and now Mesa Lane Capital, a GP-seeding fund focused on emerging managers. She shares how her time in government shaped a broader, more responsible view of innovation and capital allocation, and discusses the increasingly crowded emerging manager landscape and where capital is still being overlooked. Marcia also breaks Mesa Lane's differentiated model of large anchor checks, follow-on commitments, co-invest pools, no carry at the FoF level, and hands-on support, positioning the firm as a true co-builder. The conversation closes with how parenthood reshaped her approach to focus, boundaries, and investing in people who energize her.

HR1 - Falcons must be more active in free agency this year due to lack of draft picks In hour one Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, talk about Mike cleaning and seasoning his Blackstone over the weekend, react to the legal tampering period beginning today in the NFL and for the first time clubs being allowed to conduct a single, one hour maximum, video or phone call with up to five free agents rather than communicating strictly through their agents as they've had to do in past years. Mike, Ali, and Beau also explain why they think these new NFL legal tampering rules will make free agency more efficient for players and teams, continue to talk about the legal tampering period beginning today in the NFL, discuss what they think the first move from the Atlanta Falcons will be, react to the Baltimore Ravens acquiring five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders for first-round picks in 2026 and 2027, and explain why they think Maxx Crosby's trade to the Ravens has raised free agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson's value.
En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Valentina Orduz y Andre Dos Santos analizan el evento geopolítico de mayor impacto en los mercados globales desde hace más de dos décadas, y sus consecuencias inmediatas sobre energía, inflación.El conflicto entre Estados Unidos, Israel e Irán entró en una nueva fase durante el fin de semana, con una intensidad que los mercados aún están procesando. El cierre efectivo del Estrecho de Ormuz ha sacado del mercado una porción significativa de la oferta global de crudo, disparando el precio del petróleo a niveles que hace tres semanas parecían impensables. Los futuros de los principales índices americanos abrieron la semana con caídas pronunciadas, los mercados asiáticos sufrieron golpes severos, y los tres grandes índices de Wall Street ya acumulan pérdidas en lo que va de 2026. Valentina y Andre explican por qué este conflicto es estructuralmente distinto a los anteriores, y qué significa eso para la duración de la incertidumbre.El segundo gran bloque del episodio conecta tres de los gestores más grandes de la industria como Blue Owl, Blackstone y BlackRock que reportaron tensiones de liquidez en sus fondos semilíquidos, con oleadas de solicitudes de retiro que pusieron a prueba los mecanismos diseñados para contenerlas. Al terminar el episodio, el oyente tendrá un mapa claro de cómo el shock petrolero amplifica los riesgos ya existentes en el sistema financiero, qué señales vigilar en el CPI de esta semana y por qué el VIX es importante.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-05-2026: Dr. Dawn demonstrates how to critically read a science paper using a widely-publicized study claiming adolescent cannabis use causes psychotic, bipolar, and anxiety disorders. She identifies multiple methodological problems: only 5.7% of Kaiser adolescents admitted cannabis use versus 11.2% in anonymous national surveys, suggesting massive underreporting; the study conflates any use with heavy use; and with 463,000 participants, trivially small differences become statistically significant but clinically meaningless. She proposes reverse causation—that prodromal schizophrenia symptoms may drive teens to self-medicate with cannabis rather than cannabis causing psychosis. The study also included "disruptive behavior disorder" diagnoses that lack rigorous criteria, and she notes diagnostic codes are sometimes chosen for insurance reimbursement rather than accuracy. While acknowledging high-dose THC before age 16 may affect brain development, she concludes the headlines claiming causation are not supported by the actual findings. Dr. Dawn discusses how aquaculture—now producing 60% of fish consumed globally—has become a breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. More antibiotics per kilogram are used in fish farming than in any other animal agriculture, with drugs dissolving into water and sediment where bacteria develop resistance. One study found antibiotic-resistant bacteria in over 80% of shrimp species tested across multiple countries. Through horizontal gene transfer, these resistance genes spread to human pathogens—a 1991 Latin American cholera outbreak affecting nearly a million people may have acquired drug resistance from Ecuadorian shrimp farms. Dr. Dawn reports that the FDA rejected Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine application without even reviewing it, despite trials of 41,000 people showing it was 27% more effective at preventing illness and 29% more effective at preventing hospitalization than existing vaccines. She attributes this to politicized anti-mRNA bias lacking scientific basis, noting that venture capital investors like Blackstone (who invested $750 million) will now avoid vaccine development, effectively handing this critical technology to other countries. Dr. Dawn describes the "wellness industrial complex"—pharmaceuticals, tech, testing companies, and health influencers creating content that pathologizes normal behaviors. YouTube health videos have amassed 200 billion views, and 30% of British respondents now get medical advice from AI chatbots. She cites a 400% increase in British adults seeking ADHD diagnoses, noting that analysis of top TikTok ADHD videos found less than 50% accurately reflected actual symptoms. Many influencers receive undisclosed payments to mention products, and the U.S. and New Zealand are the only countries allowing direct-to-consumer drug advertising. A caller asks about navigating Medicare after their Advantage plan was terminated with no local providers accepting remaining plans. Dr. Dawn explains that Medicare Advantage companies took extra government payments meant for wellness programs but didn't build them, and are now exiting markets as costs rise. She recommends contacting Gray Bears or AARP for free Medicare navigation assistance and suggests exploring regular Medicare with a secondary plan or direct-pay practices. /li>

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of compelling stories that highlight the intricate interplay of scientific innovation, regulatory dynamics, and strategic maneuvers shaping the industry.Starting with Moderna, the company has reached a pivotal resolution in a long-standing patent dispute involving its mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax. This settlement involves a hefty $950 million payout to Genevant Sciences and Arbutus Biopharma, resolving claims of patent infringements. This agreement underscores the complex nature of intellectual property in the rapidly evolving mRNA landscape. Securing patent rights is crucial as new vaccines and therapies are developed, and this resolution not only clears a legal hurdle for Moderna but also exemplifies the industry trend towards resolving such disputes to foster continuous innovation.Sanofi has embarked on a significant strategic move by entering a $1.53 billion global licensing deal with Sino Biopharmaceutical. This agreement secures rights to a first-in-class JAK/ROCK inhibitor, which shows promise in treating hematological and immunological conditions. Such collaborations reflect the increasing focus on innovative therapies that target complex biological pathways, highlighting how companies are seeking unique assets to bolster their competitive edge.Regulatory scrutiny continues to be a formidable theme in the industry. The FDA has intensified its oversight on compounded GLP-1 drugs, issuing 30 warning letters to telehealth companies marketing unauthorized versions. This action highlights the agency's commitment to ensuring drug safety and efficacy while emphasizing the challenges companies face in navigating regulatory landscapes for compounded medications. Additionally, Novo Nordisk has been cautioned by the FDA regarding advertising practices for GLP-1 receptor agonists, illustrating the ongoing regulatory focus on pharmaceutical marketing strategies and compliance standards.Meanwhile, Bayer is experiencing a period of resilience in its pharmaceutical division, driven largely by its cancer drug Nubeqa and cardiovascular agent Kerendia. Despite these successes, Bayer faces challenges as revenues from older drugs like Xarelto and Eylea decline. This scenario reflects a broader industry challenge where companies must innovate while managing mature product lines facing generic competition.Teva Pharmaceuticals is making strategic strides by securing a $400 million deal with Blackstone to develop an anti-TL1A antibody for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in partnership with Sanofi. This investment highlights continued interest in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions as lucrative targets for novel therapies. Financial partnerships like Teva's substantial agreement with Blackstone illustrate how such collaborations can support sustained R&D efforts in chronic disease management.Technological integration into healthcare is expanding rapidly, with Nvidia collaborating with Droplet Biosciences to explore AI applications in medtech and cancer research. These partnerships illustrate an industry shift towards leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance diagnostic capabilities and accelerate research efforts. Moreover, collaborations leveraging AI/ML technologies across drug discovery pipelines are gaining traction; Earendil Labs partnering with WuXi XDC exemplifies this trend alongside Merck & Co.'s multi-year AI oncology data deal with Tempus—enhancing precision medicine capabilities while expediting therapeutic discoveries.In terms of funding new therapeutic areas, ARPA-H has announced a $158 million initiative aimed at developing medicines targeting the lymphatic system. This marks an exploration into less charted territories within physiological research that could yield transforSupport the show
En el Radar Empresarial de hoy ponemos el foco en los cambios recientes que atraviesa el mercado de crédito privado, un ámbito financiero que actualmente se encuentra rodeado de incertidumbre. Con el objetivo de transmitir confianza y reducir las dudas de los inversores, varios directivos de Blackstone han decidido incrementar su exposición al fondo Private Credit Fund, abriendo nuevas posiciones en sus carteras personales. Esta iniciativa se produce apenas un día después de que el vehículo de inversión registrara pérdidas cercanas a los 1.700 millones de dólares, un golpe que ha intensificado las preocupaciones dentro del sector y ha despertado preguntas sobre la estabilidad de este tipo de activos en el actual entorno económico. Durante el primer trimestre del año, los inversores solicitaron retirar el 7,9% de sus participaciones en el fondo, un porcentaje claramente superior a la media histórica cercana al 5%. Esta presión de reembolsos obligó a la gestora a desembolsar alrededor de 3.200 millones de dólares para atender dichas solicitudes. Cuando se comunicaron las pérdidas, la firma también explicó que sus propios empleados habían invertido aproximadamente 400 millones de dólares con el fin de contribuir a cubrir la demanda de liquidez. En ese mismo periodo, Blackstone logró compromisos de capital por unos 2.000 millones, aunque las retiradas acumuladas ya alcanzan los 3.700 millones, lo que refleja el clima de cautela que domina entre los inversores. El fondo Bcred ha sido una pieza clave en la expansión de la compañía en los últimos años. Sin embargo, pese al tono optimista mostrado por su presidente, Jon Gray, la cotización de la empresa ha experimentado descensos recientes. Este comportamiento no es aislado, ya que otras firmas relevantes del mismo sector también han visto caer el valor de sus acciones. Entre ellas destacan Blue Owl Capital, Apollo Global y KKR, cuyos títulos acumulan retrocesos superiores al 15% en lo que va de año. En particular, Apollo ha registrado una caída cercana al 28%, lo que evidencia la presión que afronta toda la industria del crédito privado. Este segmento financiero gestiona actualmente activos por valor aproximado de tres billones de dólares, lo que explica por qué está bajo un intenso escrutinio. Algunos analistas, como los de UBS, estiman que la tasa de impagos podría alcanzar el 15% durante este año, una previsión que el director ejecutivo de Ares Management, Mike Arougheti, calificó de exagerada e irresponsable. Parte de la preocupación se origina en el sector tecnológico: muchas firmas de crédito financiaron compañías de software durante años debido a su fuerte crecimiento y a sus ingresos recurrentes. Sin embargo, la irrupción de la inteligencia artificial y herramientas como Claude Cowork ha puesto en duda ese modelo, generando lo que algunos denominan “cucarachas negras”, un concepto popularizado por Jamie Dimon para describir problemas financieros ocultos que pueden aparecer tras los primeros signos de debilidad.

“We should all be able to look at the numbers and agree that this is not sustainable and that whatever we've been doing is not working. Democrats have had their chance, and Republicans have had their chance, and it's only gotten worse.” — Halle TeccoWarren Buffett called America's healthcare costs “a hungry tapeworm on the American economy.” That tapeworm now devours nearly a fifth of the nation's GDP—and the patient, as always, is on the table. We dedicate today's show to this most perennial of all America's problems, with two guests and two new books that approach the tragi-comedy from different angles.Self-styled innovation wonk Halle Tecco—founder of Rock Health, investor in over fifty digital health companies, professor at Columbia Business School—argues in Massively Better Healthcare that the system is both excessively public and excessively private, a Kafkaesque bureaucracy in which verticalized health plans now own the PBMs, the pharmacies, and increasingly the doctors. The result is monopoly medicine on a scale that would have appalled the original trust-busters.This is ultimately an antitrust story. As we've discussed on the show with Tim Wu, Biden's chief antitrust enforcer, the concentration of corporate power is the great unfinished business of American democracy. Tecco makes the case that Big Med is where the trust busters should go next after Big Tech. UnitedHealth is now one of the largest employers of doctors in the country. So it wasn't exactly shocking when the UnitedHealth CEO was assassinated two years ago. The system isn't broken, Tecco suggests. It's working exactly as designed—just not for patients.Surgeon Robin Blackstone, MD, author of Doctor AI: Reimagining Health. Rebuilding Trust. Delivering Health 4.0, joins us in the second half of the show to offer a view from the front lines. After 30 years as a surgeon, Blackstone confirms everything Tecco diagnoses—and adds a chilling detail of her own: the system is priced entirely for fixing illness, not preventing it. Her prescription is a “triangle of trust” between patient, physician, and AI—with the patient finally owning their own data.Both agree on one thing: every dollar spent on public health saves $14.30 in medical and societal costs. We are all already paying for all the waste. We just need to fix Big Med. But who's going to do it? Tecco says that America is ready for another round of Obamacare politics. But I'm not so sure. Five Takeaways• Healthcare Is a Tale of Two Civilizations: If you're wealthy, you go to UCSF and get the best care in the world. If you're not, you're one of the 100 million Americans without a regular primary care provider. Healthcare debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy. A person earning $30,000 in a rural county can expect to live a full decade less than someone earning $100,000 in an affluent suburb.• The Real Winners Are Monopoly Medicine: Verticalized health plans now own the PBMs, the pharmacies, and increasingly the providers. The ACA's profit cap forced them to grow the pie instead of getting more efficient. United is now one of the largest employers of doctors in the country. Independent pharmacies are closing at the rate of one per day. Rite Aid is bankrupt—the only major chain not owned by a health plan.• Every $1 in Public Health Saves $14.30: We're already paying for the crisis—in emergency room visits, lost productivity, and disability. We just need to move the safety net upstream. Public health is the only part of the system designed for prevention, yet its share of total health spending has dropped 25% in two decades. The economic case is overwhelming. The political will is not.• AI Could Break the Information Asymmetry: Patients are already using ChatGPT to diagnose themselves—and sometimes it's saving their lives. One woman caught her own pneumonia because her doctor couldn't see her for a week. But some doctors want to keep the paternalism: one AI tool built on medical journals is restricted to clinicians only because making it available to patients would “piss off the doctors.”• The System Is Priced for Rescue, Not Health: Everything is loaded to the moment your gallbladder goes bad or your heart gets a blockage. Prevention doesn't get paid for. Both guests agree: we need a massive re-pricing that rewards keeping people healthy, not just treating them when they're sick. That means paying doctors to prevent strokes, not just to fix them. About the GuestsHalle Tecco is the founder of the venture fund Rock Health and an investor in more than fifty digital health companies. She is an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School and a course director at Harvard Medical School. Her new book is Massively Better Healthcare: The Innovator's Guide to Tackling Healthcare's Biggest Challenges (Columbia University Press).Robin Blackstone, MD, is a physician, health systems architect, and founder of Blackstone Health. A surgeon by training with 30 years of clinical experience, she is the author of Doctor AI: Reimagining Health. Rebuilding Trust. Delivering Health 4.0.ReferencesPrevious Keen On episodes and authors mentioned:• Robert Pearl on how AI will be monetized in the healthcare industry• Tim Wu on the extractive economics of platform capitalism• Zeke Emanuel on which country has the world's best healthcare• Warren Buffett on healthcare costs as “a hungry tapeworm on the American economy”About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Geopolitical instability in the Middle East is shaking markets as higher oil prices revive inflation fears and push Treasury yields up. Jason England says the 10-year could move toward the high end of the 4.30% range, with stress already visible in areas like Blackstone's private credit funds. He recommends active fixed-income strategies, cash preservation, and disciplined commodity trend-following until the Fed's policy outlook becomes clearer.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Israeli and U.S. military intelligence had long watched and waited for a rare opportunity: senior political and military leaders in Iran holding a meeting—where they could all be killed at once. Fresno’s Iranian-American community said the past 48 hours signal positive change to Iran’s future. Demonstrators brought signs, flags and a speaker to listen and dance to music in River Park on Sunday. Local Iranians were out in full force demonstrating along Blackstone and Nees avenues. It was all in support of regime change in Iran, and the United States’ involvement in taking out Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Dan Nathan and Guy Adami cover PPI, upcoming earnings, and this week's jobs report. They focus on mounting stress in the AI infrastructure and financing complex: CoreWeave's post-earnings drop, heavy customer concentration, funding challenges, and Jim Chanos' critique that its GPU-leasing model loses money and shows distress-level liquidity, alongside declines in Apollo, KKR, Blackstone, and banks. They contrast Nvidia's strong quarter and 60% growth outlook with stock stagnation, discuss Broadcom as a key AI barometer, and note ongoing software multiple and margin compression highlighted by volatile moves in Workday and Salesforce. Despite rising VIX swings, falling 10-year yields, and consumer-credit concerns signaled by AmEx, Capital One, Klarna, and Walmart trade-down commentary, the S&P remains near highs; they also discuss crude's rebound amid Middle East tensions and Bitcoin weakness pressuring MicroStrategy. After the break, Jen & Kristen join Dan and Guy live from the iConnections Global Alts conference in Miami to unpack an “AI panic” market day, why higher productivity could mean higher rates, and what private credit hiccups really signal for hedge funds and alts. They also explain how The Wall Street Skinny is turning arcane finance jargon into plain English for everyone from college students to the C‑suite, plus why there are no dumb questions when it comes to bonds, credit, and careers on Wall Street.

Emanuel Pastreich, an independent U.S. presidential candidate and academic, recounts his personal experience with institutional suppression after proposing academic cooperation between American and Asian universities, which he claims led to him being forced out of the country. The discussion expands into a critique of the military-industrial complex, suggesting that global conflicts are driven by private banks and IT giants seeking to convert corporate debt into national debt. He describes an invisible war characterized by mass psychological trauma, nanotechnology, and the rise of a digital fascism that utilizes biometric surveillance. Pastreich emphasizes that this global governance is already in place, operating through a Blackstone model where private equity and intelligence firms control strategic stakes in sovereign nations. Ultimately, he calls for a moral vanguard of truth-tellers to utilize scientific methods to resist this pervasive technological and political takeover.

Send a textWe teamed up with Guy Adami and Dan Nathan to discuss two major developing market stories ahead of meeting in Miami for the iConnections Global Alts conference. The first topic is stress in private credit, centered on Blue Owl's retail-focused semi-liquid vehicle (Blue Owl Capital Corp II) facing heavy redemptions and gating, highlighting the liquidity mismatch between retail redemption needs and long-dated loan assets. They contrast the gated evergreen structure with Blue Owl's publicly traded BDC that was trading roughly 20% below NAV, discuss Blue Owl's reported loan sales near NAV, and explore why the issue is pressuring related stocks like Blue Owl and Blackstone despite an S&P 500 that appears indifferent. The group connects the private credit conversation to how AI/data center buildouts are financed, including references to Meta-related structures and concerns about CoreWeave's ability to raise capital for data center obligations, and notes that credit markets often reprice quickly only after complacency breaks. The second topic is prediction markets, focusing on Kalshi and its partnership with Tradeweb to publish analytics and potentially enable institutional trading of binary outcomes on events like Fed decisions and macro data, raising questions about democratized access, liquidity constraints, regulatory gaps, spoofing, and the role of insider information, along with implications for politics and whether more information is always better.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE Visit https://iconnections.io/ to learn more about iConnections!Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

DescriptionAndrew Zwerneman, writer and narrator for HISTORY250® and co-founder and president of Cana Academy, joins Christopher Perrin to argue that America's cultural crisis is, at root, a crisis of memory—and that renewing history education is a work of restoration. Zwerneman traces the teachers, places, and lived experiences that formed him as a historian, then explains why the “liberal discipline of history” must resist ideological reduction and return to observation, sympathy, and fidelity to the past. Along the way, they connect historical remembrance to the deepest human questions: personhood, responsibility, freedom, and the moral imagination that societies inherit. The conversation explores how biblical and classical sources shaped the American founding, how later leaders invoked inherited principles to confront slavery and injustice, and why the West's habit of self-criticism depends on conserving what came before. Zwerneman introduces Cana Academy and its HISTORY250® project as practical efforts to rebuild shared story through films, primary sources, maps, and teacher formation. The episode closes with a vivid picture of what great history instruction looks like: students learning to read documents, geography, art, and narrative so they can live under a shared story and recover “hallowed ground.”Episode OutlineZwerneman's formation: family travel, early teachers, and awakening to the moral weight of historyWhy remembrance is central to human and Christian life: Exodus, Passover, and “do this in remembrance of me”Rejecting “history as a force”: recovering human agency, personhood, and moral dramaAmerican inheritance: scripture, ordered liberty, common law, and natural law in the foundingLearning from paradox: freedom and slavery at the founding; reform movements that appeal to founding idealsThe liberal discipline of history: observation, sympathy, and resisting ideologyWhat students should study: imagery, narratives, structures, data, geography, and the craft of storyCana Academy and HISTORY250®: films, documents, maps, and a “gift” aimed at cultural renewalA tour of the ideal classical history classroom: what you'd see, hear, and practiceKey Topics & TakeawaysHistory restores identity: A people who lose their story lose a clear sense of who they are—and what they owe to the dead and the unborn.Human agency is central: Against “history as a force,” the episode insists that persons mediate between past and present through decisions, sacrifices, and responsibilities.Ordered liberty requires memory: American freedom is rooted in inherited sources (biblical imagination, British rights, common law, natural law), and it decays when citizens forget the responsibilities that attend freedom.History trains moral realism without moralizing: Sympathy is not excuse-making; it is the disciplined effort to understand the human condition before passing judgment.The classroom must return to concrete realities: Great history teaching works from maps, artifacts, documents, portraits, letters, diaries, and place—so students learn “what actually happened.”Shared story creates shared sympathies: Art, poetry, and narrative shape communal feeling and help students situate their lives in a meaningful inheritance.Renewal is practical: Teacher formation, curated primary sources, and accessible tools (films, documents, maps) are presented as tangible ways to fight cultural amnesia.Questions & DiscussionWhat does it mean to study the past “in its pastness”?Discuss why people in the past may act in ways we do not recognize—or approve. How can teachers pursue truth without turning history into propaganda or therapy?How do observation and sympathy change the way we teach hard topics (war, slavery, injustice)?Identify one topic where your students tend to moralize quickly or dismissively. What sources (letters, diaries, speeches, laws, artifacts) could slow them down into careful understanding?What's the difference between “ordered liberty” and “license”?Describe a modern example where freedom is framed as “doing whatever I want.” What habits, texts, or stories could help students reconnect freedom to responsibility and the common good?Which leaders or movements best model “reform by remembering”? Compare at least two examples discussed (e.g., Douglass, Lincoln, King, Chavez). What did each retrieve from the past to address present suffering?What belongs in a strong history curriculum besides a textbook? Make a list under five headings: imagery, narratives, structural analysis, data, and geography. Choose one heading and propose one new classroom routine (weekly map-reading, document lab, portrait study, artifact analysis, narrative-writing).What would you see in a “great classical upper school” history class?Describe the sounds and practices: seminar discussion, source analysis, narration, map work, interpretive writing, and shared reading. What is one change you could make this term that moves your classroom closer to that ideal?Suggested Reading & ResourcesHistory Forgotten and Remembered by Andrew ZwernemanAmerican Slavery, American Freedom by Edmund S.

This week on the AmplifyME Market Maker Podcast, Anthony goes solo to break down three big stories — a $58 billion oil merger, a pulled tech IPO, and private equity's move into Indian cricket — all tied together by one theme: survival in the age of AI.In energy, Devon Energy and Coterra Energy are merging to focus on efficiency and basin concentration as shale matures.In tech, Blackstone-backed Liftoff Mobile paused its IPO after AI tools like Anthropic's Claude Cowork cast doubt on the traditional per-seat SaaS model.And in sport, firms including Blackstone, KKR, and CVC are betting on the Indian Premier League, drawn to the scarcity and predictable cash flows of live, un-automatable experiences.From oil to software to sport, this episode explores how capital is repositioning for a world where defensibility and efficiency matter more than ever.(00:00) Intro & Themes in Focus(01:23) Oil Mega-Merger(03:23) AI & The SaaS Shock(05:59) Private Equity Buys Cricket(08:11) The Big PictureWant experience what it would be like to be an M&A adviser?
