Today, I am diving deep into a question that's on everybody's mind right now—should billionaires even exist? In this solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the wealth gap, social mobility, and the hidden mechanics that are driving massive inequality in our world. I'll walk you through the shocking numbers, break down how our financial system is really rigged, and reveal how asset ownership and inflation are tilting the game in favor of the ultra-wealthy—without you even realizing it. If you've ever wondered why it feels impossible to get ahead, or if you're looking for real answers about how to protect yourself and build true wealth, this episode is for you. We're talking about the roots of capitalism, how government policy and money printing drive inequality, and why trying to fix things with short-term, top-down solutions just makes it worse. My promise: By the end of this episode, you'll understand not just how billionaires are made—but what you can actually do to turn the odds in your favor. This is the episode I wish someone handed me years ago.

Once upon a time, American tennis ruled the world—McEnroe was yelling, Connors was winning, and Sampras had the smoothest serve this side of Wimbledon. Now? Let's just say… pickleball might be giving tennis a run for its money. In this nostalgic and thought-provoking episode of Just Wondering, legendary broadcaster Norm Hitzges dives deep into “The Decline of American Tennis.” From the glory days of packed stadiums and national pride to today's dwindling spotlight, Norm breaks down how—and why—tennis slipped from the American sports throne.

On this week's Modern Retail Podcast, senior reporters Melissa Daniels and Gabriela Barkho Barkho kick things off with a look at Constellation Brands' declining beer sales. The Modelo and Corona owner is facing tariffs and weaker demand from its large Hispanic consumer base, which makes up half of its U.S. sales. Later in the episode (9:27), Modern Retail's e-commerce platforms reporter, Allison Smith, joins the show for a roundtable on how Prime Day and accompanying deals galore went over. With sales off to a slow start for Amazon's four-day summer event, some wonder whether it's a bellwether for decline in consumer sentiment.

On this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the studio dives into four headline-grabbing stories. “American Idol” winner Jamal Roberts turned down a key to the city in Laurel, Mississippi, citing death threats linked to resentment in the town—he ultimately wants to focus on his music, not the spotlight.

Katie Watson is a full-time legal professional and single mom who didn't wait for life to slow down before figuring out how to make it work. She joins Corinne Morahan to share the systems that help her manage a high-pressure job while raising her two-year-old son.    From choosing a daycare that handles meals and extended hours to building habits that keep her home running smoothly, Katie shares what it looks like to design a life that feels doable. She gets into the small, unglamorous choices that add up over time, like using five quiet minutes to unpack a box instead of scrolling, or carving out a nightly hour to reset her space before the next day begins. She also opens up about the mindset work that keeps her grounded, including how she navigates anxiety and why having a strong support system matters.    What would shift if you approached your personal life with the same thoughtfulness you bring to work?

Hi, Church -    So, there's this thing that happens to churches these days where we are tempted to respond to decline by chasing relevance. These words, of course, need some definition.   Decline, we might say, is what we are tempted to feel when congregations shrink in size, when finances get tight, and when buildings decay. It's a sense of stagnation.   Relevance, we might say, is what we are tempted to chase in response to decline through things like a hyper-exertion of energy to grow in numbers, and raising money, and updating the property. A sense of bustling makes us feel good about our church, that we're becoming relevant to the world.    The problem is that a big congregation, deep pockets, and a building are not essential for what it means to be the church. These things might be a part of a church's reality (some churches are bigger than others, some have more money, and some have facilities) but they shouldn't distract us from what matters most, which is actually embodying the way of Jesus.    This is to say that a large congregation, financial stability, and a well-kept church property does not mean that a congregation is close to the heart of God.    I think of the two images Jeremiah uses of a cistern versus flowing waters. We're told flowing waters (waters of life) are better than a cistern, which is where water becomes stagnate. However, to understand this in terms of decline and relevance we have to clarify what we're talking about.   If we are spending our energy to appear vital simply because we have numbers, money, and space then we need to rethink what we're doing. However, if our energy is spent on embodying the love of God in the time we have and places we are given, then the we will find ourselves in the Spirit's flow.    This means spending time contemplating the incarnation of God in Jesus, mediating on who he was, what he cared about, and why it cost him his life. In this we will know what it means to be witnesses.    And so, church, take some time this morning to begin praying in this way. Allow the Scripture to shape your prayer (the Sermon on the Mount is a good place to start). And wait for God's encounter.   See you at 10:30am.   Grace and Peace,

The Demystify Duo goes to Delphi! This is the place that used to be at the center of the ancient world, a bustling hub of commerce, politics, and religion. At the center of the place was the Delphic Oracle, an event as much as it was a location. Young girls ordained as Pythias would be locked into a room where they would huff volatile gases that emerged from a crack in the floor. As they muttered the details of their psychedelic visions into the ears of priests, they were transmuted into the counsel that would move the world. Today, nothing but ruins remain. As we walk through the scattered columns and shattered statues, we meditate on the nature of civilizations - how gods that rule the world rise and fall, how the people persist, and the lessons that can be gleaned from the olive shaded dust of this ancient place.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, New York Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo stops by to talk with Adam about the differences in how men and women approach work, and how radical gender ideology has reshaped society in a surprisingly short time. Adam shares his opinion on female aggression, and Ralph explains what led him to write his new book, The Great Chinese Art Heist. The conversation shifts to election integrity, foreign influence, and the dangers of electronic voting machines—prompting Adam to recount his own experience trying to vote in California. They also delve into how foreign adversaries seek to undermine the U.S. and how mainstream media selectively reports stories to push a narrative.In the news, Mike Dawson joins Adam to break down some headlines: Sean “Diddy” Combs is found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted on lesser charges; Lia Thomas is stripped of swimming titles at UPenn after administrative pressure; and Los Angeles hotel owners raise the alarm over a looming $30 minimum wage that could shutter businesses citywide. Plus, a harrowing ocean rescue goes viral after a dad jumps from a Disney cruise ship to save his daughter.Later, journalist and author Alex Thompson calls in to discuss his new book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, co-written with Jake Tapper. Adam and Alex examine how the media downplayed Biden's cognitive decline, draw parallels to the media's handling of COVID, and revisit the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. They wrap up with a big question: What, if anything, can the media do to win back the public's trust?Get it on.FOR MORE WITH RALPH PEZZULLO:BOOK: The Great Chinese Art Heist: Imperialism, Organized Crime,and the Looting of China's TreasuresBOOK: Stolen Election: The Plot to Destroy DemocracyPODCAST: Heroes Behind HeadlinesINSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @ Ralph PezzulloFOR MORE WITH MIKE DAWSON: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @dawsangelesFOR MORE WITH ALEX THOMPSON:BOOK: Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His DisastrousChoice to Run AgainINSTAGRAM: @ alxthompTWITTER: @ AlexThompThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineHomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvSHOPIFY.COM/carollaLIVE SHOWS: July 10 - Irvine, CA (Live Podcast)July 11-12 - Covina, CA (4 Shows)July 16 - Rosemont, ILJuly 17 - Plymouth, WISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Axios National Political Correspondent and co-author of “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” discusses the controversy around the book, the media's role in holding power accountable, the hidden history of presidential health cover-ups, and the deeper issues shaping both major parties in America.

In these segments, Tara delivers an unflinching look at two unfolding humanitarian and political crises. The first exposes a scathing report that the Biden administration knowingly placed thousands of migrant children with unvetted sponsors, including convicted criminals, fueling a system of trafficking, abuse, and neglect while dismantling safeguards like DNA testing. The second explores new studies indicating massive underreported COVID vaccine deaths—potentially up to 600,000 in the U.S.—and severe long-term side effects among teens. Tara contrasts the blackout of these issues by legacy media with rising distrust in America itself, as Gallup shows Democrats' pride in their country plunging to historic lows, and sympathy shifting dramatically toward Palestinians over Israelis. Together, these stories paint a picture of institutional collapse, moral abdication, and a nation in crisis.

Today's coverage reveals a nation grappling with profound crises on every front. Tara first unpacks the Biden administration's alleged complicity in trafficking migrant children—placing thousands with unvetted, often criminal sponsors, dismantling Trump-era safeguards like DNA testing, and leaving tens of thousands of vulnerable minors unaccounted for. Next, she highlights a surge of peer-reviewed studies warning of severe, underreported harms linked to the COVID vaccines, including estimates of up to 600,000 deaths in the U.S. and long-term health impacts on teenagers. Simultaneously, Gallup polls expose an unprecedented collapse of patriotism among Democrats—just 36% now say they're proud to be American—while party sympathies shift decisively toward Palestinians over Israel, fueling radical politics and primary victories for socialist candidates. Tara weaves these stories into a sobering narrative: institutions in freefall, media silence shielding systemic failures, and a growing segment of Americans losing faith in their own country.

Is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and boys in culture today? Or, is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times. My guest today, Pastor Douglas Wilson, makes the case that it's a combination of both and, more accurately, than “modern times,” a result of “wealthy times.” And, if that is the case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children and this world? Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.

I spend a lot of time on this channel talking with seasoned investors with decades of experience, the vast majority of whom are older than I -- oftentimes by several decades.But I'm no spring chicken.And I find myself more and more wondering how younger generations look at the world of finance and the economy -- especially with the daunting challenges they face: inflation & the high cost of living, extreme wealth inequality, record high housing unaffordability, AI's threat of mass jobs destruction, $37 trillion in national debt and growing...How are they feeling about stepping into the financial world they're inheriting?

Why does seriousness feel radical today? a16z General Partner Katherine Boyle joins The LaBossiere Podcast to explore what it means to build for the national interest—and why that starts with purpose.Katherine, part of the American Dynamism team at a16z, shares how we got to a place where public service became uncool, how tech can help rebuild trust in government, and why suffering, friction, and responsibility are essential ingredients for growth. From the collapse of civic duty to the rise of meme-driven politics, they dig into the cultural forces shaping America—and the opportunity to reclaim a sense of mission.They also discuss why Silicon Valley is more idea than place, what journalists and investors have in common, and why being laughed at might be the clearest sign you're on the right path.Timecodes: 0:00 - Intro4:48 The Decline in Public Service7:47 Making Government Cool Again10:07 Silicon Valley's Aversion to National Security13:15 Positive Sum vs Zero Sum Cultures16:27 China, Authoritarianism, and Doing Hard Things19:27 What Makes America Special?23:03 Silicon Valley and the “Real Economy”26:28 Investing in Mature Markets29:08 Vanna White and The Wheel of Fortune30:27 Journalism and Loneliness32:52 - Time and Suffering38:10 - Seriousness and Purpose41:11 - Is Culture Downstream of Technology?42:48 - Propaganda and Coolness as a Strategic Asset44:40 - Florida, Texas, and Regulatory Arbitrage47:51 - DC, Silicon Valley, and Florida50:20 - What Should More People Be Thinking AboutResources: Find Katherine on X: https://x.com/KTmBoyleFind Alex on X: https://x.com/adlabossiereListen to more from The LaBossiere Podcast:YouTube: ⁠https://bit.ly/3QDLQFt⁠Apple: ⁠https://apple.co/478Be6M⁠Spotify: ⁠https://spoti.fi/3sfiFiE⁠Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.
