Could the secrets of Antarctica be a larger cover-up than the UFO cover-up? Brad Olsen joins Captain Ron and argues that we would have UFO Disclosure if we were able to see what is hidden below the ice of Antarctica.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the end of the week the state's largest farm organization gathers together in WI Dells for their 106th convention. Jill Welke visits with the president of the WI Farm Bureau Federation as they approach the big event. Brad Olsen says it's not just about policy development, but also community. He says the fellowship elements at the convention can be just what membership needs to boost their energy and attitude. More snow is on the way for Wisconsin beginning again this afternoon. Stu Muck breaks out the regional movement the next storm will make. No improvement in temperatures for the rest of this week. Tomorrow is "Giving Tuesday" and many non-profits will be hoping for your financial attention. Pam Jahnke visits with Ellen Schutt, executive director of the WI FFA Foundation. Schutt says that they're hoping for $10,000 in donations on Tuesday - with the first $2,500 being matched by Compeer Financial. Schutt says the money will be used in support of agriculture education in everything from blue jacket scholarships to travel budgets. Those FFA programs depend on agriculture educators in the classroom. That's a commodity that's tough to come by. Kiley Allan visits with an agriculture educator at the Melrose-Mindoro school district that found a "work around" leading her to the classroom. Maddie Dobbs, obtained her teaching license in Ag Education in Wisconsin with only a two-year Associate's degree in Agribusiness, Science and Technology. This was possible due to a "Professional Experience" based technical and vocational education subjects license. The license process involved submitting a simple application and providing verification of industry hours from a previous employer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Reserve Bank has blamed the ongoing recession on an uncertain property market, prompting experts to weigh in. New Zealand has traditionally relied on housing as an engine of growth, but years of flat property prices have reportedly contributed to the ongoing economic downturn. Infometrics principal economist Brad Olsen explained further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can I give you a positive spin on the recession that we're just coming out of? I mean, maybe it's not so much a positive spin, but maybe it's an explanation for why this recession was harder than it needed to be - but why it actually did need to be this hard. If you've been following the commentary around the Reserve Bank's last two OCR decisions, you'll know there's been a fair bit of chat about the wealth effect and how that has made the recession worse. Now, the wealth effect is the thing that happens when your house goes up in value. You feel rich - you're not rich, you just feel rich - so you go out and spend more money. And then, of course, when it does the opposite and goes down in value, you feel poor. You're not poor, you just feel it, so you shut your wallet. And that is part of the reason why this recession has dragged - because our house prices are not going up. They have gone backwards, and so we're not spending, which means that we're not spending our way out of the recession. Now, the thing about this is that the Reserve Bank has actually done things to deliberately keep our house prices suppressed, right? Things like debt-to-income ratios. Some of the stuff is not their fault, like people leaving the country and therefore not wanting to buy a house - supply and demand, blah blah blah - but some of it is the fault of the Reserve Bank, who've done this deliberately. And I warned you about this on the show before. I said this to you in August, I said I was worried that the Reserve Bank was keeping house prices depressed and that it would drag out this recession longer, which it has. And I've been talking privately to Brad Olsen about it as well, who's been keeping an eye on it too, and we've been debating the merits of it. But here's the silver lining - we actually needed to let go of this property obsession. It's been hard, but we needed to do it because we have got to stop putting our money into property and we've got to start putting our money into businesses and other productive assets. And this is the breakup that we needed to have. No breakup is nice, and this one isn't either. So I text Brad Olsen this morning, yet again. He goes, “Oh, here we go. Here's a text from Heather.” I said, “Brad, are you still sure that it was worth it to break up with our property obsession given how hard it has made this recession?” And he just replied with, “Yes, I do.” So what I would say is, if you're doing the glass-half-full thing, at least we will come out of this recession less in love with houses and more likely to put our dollars into stuff that will actually make New Zealand richer - and that's got to be a good thing.

Labour has announced what some are describing a “watered down” version of a Capital Gains Tax. This targeted CGT would affect profit made after July 2027 from selling a commercial or residential property, excluding the family home. Leader Chris Hipkins promises nine out of 10 Kiwis won’t pay tax on what they own, and it’ll allow everyone to get three free doctors visits a year. On the flip side, National’s calling it an “attack on investment and savings” - with Finance Minister Nicola Willis saying it would “put New Zealand’s economic recovery at risk”. Today on The Front Page, Infometrics economist Brad Olsen is with us to dive into the details of Labour’s latest pitch to the public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's unclear how much the Labour government will raise, from its just announced new capital gains tax. The targeted tax would apply to profit made from selling commercial or residential property, to raise funds for universal free doctors visitors. The family home, farms, KiwiSaver, shares, business assets, inheritances, and personal items will be exempt. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Ryan Bridge the announcement doesn't specify how much the tax is likely to raise. He says it's hard to assess based on the information whether the tax would raise millions, hundreds of millions, or billions of dollars of revenue over any time period.

In this jaw-dropping episode, Michael Jaco and renowned author-researcher Brad Olsen unravel the deep secrets buried beneath the icy veil of Antarctica — a land shrouded in mystery and speculation. Brad, known for his acclaimed Esoteric Series and upcoming book Secrets of Antarctica, shares stunning revelations about Nazi bases, ancient alien settlements, underground pyramids, and the geothermal regions said to hide advanced technology and lost civilizations. The conversation journeys through Admiral Byrd's expeditions, Valiant Thor's strange appearances, and the growing evidence connecting Antarctica to UFO activity and secret global operations. Michael and Brad also discuss the deeper implications for global disclosure, spiritual evolution, and what humanity must prepare for as these long-buried truths begin to surface.

Inflation has crept up to 3% according to Stats NZ figures, the highest in over a year, and nudging the upper limit of the reserve banks target band. The rise from 2.7% is largely due to domestic prices creeping up, including food and energy. Infometrics Chief Executive and Principal Economist, Brad Olsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

Treasury has revealed the state of the Government's finances, and it's been revealed that spending has dropped. The country's still in an operating deficit of $9.3 billion, but tax take has gone up and growth in total expenses has slowed.

Now, we need to talk about the Reserve Bank's excuses for how it completely stuffed up its job and let inflation get away on it during Covid. We spoke about this on the show yesterday, it's done the review and it says, quote, - "in hindsight, an earlier and more aggressive tightening might have reduced inflation sooner." Yeah. Really, Sherlock? But this would have been difficult given the data available at the time. Now, basically what they're saying is: yeah, we could have done better if we could see what was happening at the time, but we couldn't see what was happening at the time. Which is a crock, isn't it? Because there were people who could see at the time what was happening, and they said so. They said it publicly, they said the Reserve Bank needs to start tightening up - in some cases, months, if not even more than a year, before they did. I mean, the New Zealand Initiative first identified that Covid could cause inflation in April 2022 - that's a year and a half before the Reserve Bank started tightening. Brad Olsen called on them to start lifting the OCR in July 2021, that's about three months before they started. They started in October 2021. Now, that's good on them for - at that point - starting to move, but they were doing it. They were pumping the brake ever so slightly while still pushing the accelerator in a big way, because they did not stop pumping the economy and they kept their cheap money for banks program going all the while. In February 2022, the following year, the New Zealand Initiative was warning them and saying - hey, listen, this inflation is a thing here. But that lending continued, that cheap money to the banks continued all the way through to December 2022. When it stopped, inflation was already at 7.2 percent, which is nutso. Now, to be fair to the Reserve Bank, it wasn't just their fault. Grant Robertson was doing a fair bit, right? He was spending like crazy, and even though he was warned by Treasury, he just kept on spending too. But that doesn't exonerate the Reserve Bank, it just makes their job harder. But they cannot pretend that they didn't see what was happening, because others did see what was happening, and they needed to see what was happening - because that is what they are paid for.

Treasury has warned the retirement age and GST would need to gradually increase over the next 40 years, to solve New Zealand's fiscal challenges. Infometrics chief executive and economist Brad Olsen spoke to Alexa Cook.

Treasury has raised the alarm over the state of New Zealand's public finances as part of its long-term fiscal forecast. Record levels of Government spending, increasing health costs and an ever-growing aging population are among the concerns set to create additional fiscal pressures for the country, according to new reports. Treasury warned Net Core Crown Debt is set to hit 200 percent of GDP by 2065. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says some of these concerns were flagged as early as 2021 - and we need to start thinking about solutions.

Economic difficulties across the ditch appear to echo the struggles felt in many New Zealand households. The Reserve Bank of Australia has delivered a brutal reality check to the nation on the cost of living, as it expects the situation to worsen. It warns prices will never return to pre-pandemic levels. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking it's the same story here. He says it would be a sign of very tough economic times if businesses were cutting their prices so drastically. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

10,000 jobs have disappeared in just three months, according to Stats NZ. There are now 50,000 fewer jobs than in December 2023.

Provincial areas have also been hit despite the farming sector being a bright spot in the economy. Economist and Infometrics chief executive Brad Olsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

A build-up of industry income changes could have driven the pay gap between men and women to a historic low. The pay gap for the June quarter is sitting at 5.2 percent, down from the 8.2 percent seen a year ago. It's the smallest margin seen since Stats NZ began collecting the data in 1998. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says sectors like transport, IT and finance have been pushing through higher incomes for female workers. "We've also seen continued larger pay increases for a number of quite large female-dominated industries alike - of education and health."

FreshEd turns 10 in October! Join the celebration: www.freshedpodcast.com/10years -- Today we continue our mini-series called the FreshEd Questionnaire. I've been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education today. For the next instalment of the FreshEd Questionnaire we focus on online learning. It seems since Covid-19, universities around the world have embraced online learning. More recently, we hear talk of flexible learning. That is, giving students a choice in how they want to study-- either online, in person, or a bit of both. What does online and flexible learning mean for the university? For the quality of education? And for the very nature of learning itself? I asked a group of academics and researchers the following questions: What are your thoughts on universities embracing online/hybrid/flexible teaching? Here's what they had to say.

Today we continue our mini-series called the FreshEd Questionnaire. I've been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education today. For the next instalment of the FreshEd Questionnaire we focus on the value of enrolling into a PhD program. Is investing years of your life to purse a PhD worth it? While many of our guests find personal fulfilment in doctoral journeys, they're also brutally honest about the structural problems plaguing higher education today: exploitative funding models, unsustainable debt loads, and academic job markets that have fundamentally shifted. We dig into these issues and explore the tension between the intellectual rewards of doctoral study and the harsh economic realities that make the PhD increasingly inaccessible. Guests include: Rakesh Rajani, Lynn Paine, Laura Chávez-Moreno, Augustina Paglayan, Xavier Dumay, Tore Bernt Sorensen, Horward Gardner, Gustavo Fischman, Sara Ruto, Brad Olsen, Tim Jackson, and Katie Anderson-Levitt. https://freshedpodcast.com/395-questionnaire/ -- Get in touch!

Stats NZ says food inflation was back up five-percent for the year to July. The heftiest increases include butter rising 42-percent, cheese 29, and produce climbing more than seven. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says other essentials like milk, steak, and mince are also going up. Olsen says food price inflation probably won't impact next week's Reserve Bank announcement, but it is uncomfortable for households. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The cost of New Zealand's homes are beginning to fall. The latest QV Quarterly data reveals that average prices have fallen by 0.5% over the three months to July. Auckland is down by 1.2%, while Queenstown and Invercargill continue to rise by 2.4% and 1.2% respectively. The average price is now 13.1% cheaper than the artificial Covid peak in 2021. Brad Olsen, Infometrics' Principal Economist, told Mike Hosking with about half a year's worth of sales currently on the market, there's a lot of supply. On the flip side, he says there aren't as many buyers, with employment uncertainty and the hit many people's KiwiSavers took earlier in the year influencing buying habits.

Today we continue our mini-series called the FreshEd Questionnaire. I've been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education in today. For the next few weeks, we'll mash up the answers to each question and put them into single episodes. For today's episode we focus on Artificial Intelligence. It seems every day I read a new article on how AI is transforming teaching, learning, and research. The college essay is dead, I hear. So too is peer review. I hear edtech gurus shouting that the very purpose of higher education is undermined when GenAI can be a tutor, therapist, research assistant, and writer all in one. So, I wanted to find out from academics and researchers themselves what they think. I asked the following question: how are you managing Generative AI in your research and teaching? Here's what they had to say.

If our economy is in recovery, why is the supermarket checkout still so brutal? Listen in on our chat with Brad Olsen, Principal Economist at Infometrics. Brad breaks down why New Zealanders are still facing uncomfortable inflation, despite a gradual economic comeback—and why attractive interest rates aren’t luring buyers into the housing market. Are investors becoming ‘numb’ to world events after years of outlandish headlines? What’s the latest on those infamous tariffs? Why do the US markets seem "unkillable" despite dire predictions? Plus, Brad says Kiwi investors have started actively scrutinizing boards and executive strategies, and increasingly turning to emerging alternative sectors like AI and crypto.

Today we explore the transformation of education systems. How does change happen? Is change always positive? And what do we even mean by an education system? With me are Sara Ruto, Rakesh Rajani, and Brad Olsen. Earlier this year, they were part of a Brookings Roundtable discussion about what it means to integrate scaling impact and systems transformation to advance education improvement around the world. Sara Ruto is a Program Officer at Echidna Giving, Rakesh Rajani is the President of JustSystems, and Brad Olsen is a senior fellow with the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution. freshedpodcast.com/ruto-rajani-olsen/ -- Get in touch!

Recently, the Ark of the Covenant was mentioned in the news as a declassified CIA document that claimed during a "remote viewing" session, an agent knew the location of the ancient artifact. The Ark of the Covenant was a chest that carried the Ten Commandments or the higher law of Moses. It has been reported that the Ark may have been more than just a container. It was quite possibly a machine that could communicate with non-human intelligence or a weapon capable of using low frequencies to bring down buildings. With advanced technologies being developed, the walls of historical silence are beginning to crack as we can better unravel the mysteries beneath our feet. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com), Clyde Lewis talks with Brad Olsen about PYRAMIDION.
