Professor Evan Ellis discusses Argentina's economic stabilization under President Milei, who resisted dollarization by bringing the peso to a stable, free-market rate through aggressive spending cuts and US/IMF support. This success under the new US "economic Monroe Doctrine" sends a strong signal to the Americas, aimed at countering China's rapid expansion. Ellis also reviews US military readiness near Venezuela and political shifts toward the center-right in Bolivia and potentially Chile, though these nations remain economically engaged with China. 1898 Caracas

Alan Tonelson discusses the Supreme Court oral arguments concerning the President's authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The administration argues the President can invoke IEEPA due to emergencies like fentanyl and trade deficits. Tonelson finds arguments against including tariffs under IEEPA's regulatory language "jaw-dropping." He stresses that the President must have sole control over declaring foreign policy emergencies, necessary for rapid response. If rejected, the President has other longstanding tariffing powers. 1883 WALL STREET

Veronique de Rugy critiques the administration's legal argument at the Supreme Court that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorizes the President to impose tariffs. She argues the term "emergency" is used too loosely, defining 50 years of trade deficits as an emergency, potentially granting the President immense, unchecked power to tax. Tariffs are taxes, which Congress should control. De Rugy notes tariffs are already causing damage by raising prices for consumers or forcing companies to cut profits and investment. 1882 NYSE

The news episode that I wanted to release before the glorious civil war article plopped up. We have a lot of Igor Girkin to catch up to – but the main story ties with the ep. 17 marvelously. Because at this point, mainstream Russian economists, the same who called Lipsits a doomsayer, now have gone past fear and openly admit that an economic collapse is not just inevitable. It's already happening.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this edition of The Naked Scientists: Among British people vapers now outnumber smokers for the first time. From Big Bang to Big Crunch - the new theory showing the expansion of the Universe might be slowing down.

Tara dives deep into the intersection of immigration, politics, and economics shaping America today. From New Yorkers fleeing socialist-leaning policies in Palm Beach to the shocking election of a noncitizen mayor in Kansas, this episode exposes how policy decisions ripple through housing, elections, and national security. With a critical look at amnesty, voter verification, and the Fed's rate decisions, Tara unpacks the consequences for everyday Americans and outlines what needs to be done to reclaim control. Politics, policy, and power—what they don't want you to know. NYC exodus, Florida real estate, Mankami, socialism vs capitalism, immigration, illegal voting, Kansas mayor, Joe Ciballos, voter fraud, national citizenship database, Trump administration, Biden policies, amnesty, housing crisis, homeownership collapse, property taxes, home equity firms, deportations, rent inflation, used car prices, Jerome Powell, Fed rates, economic policy, Tara Show Today's episode covers the key events shaping the nation: New York to Florida Exodus: Realtors in Florida are overwhelmed with calls as New Yorkers flee rising taxes and socialist policies under Mayor Mankami, demonstrating the economic and political impact of population shifts. NYC Demographics & Elections: Nearly half of NYC's population is foreign-born, and 20% cannot speak English, influencing local elections. This raises concerns about the future of American cities and the effects of amnesty. Kansas Mayor Scandal: Newly elected Coldwater Mayor Joe Ciballos, a Mexican citizen, faces felony charges for illegal voting and election perjury, highlighting gaps in voter verification and oversight. National Citizenship Database: The Trump-era system is beginning to catch noncitizen voters, countering Biden-era policies that limited voter verification and enabled illegal access to Social Security numbers, including individuals on terror watch lists. Housing & Economic Pressures: Skyrocketing property taxes and home equity firms buying homes are pushing first-time homebuyers out of the market, while deportations of illegal immigrants are starting to affect housing prices and used car markets. Federal Reserve Critique: Jerome Powell's handling of interest rates is discussed as an example of how policy decisions can suppress job growth and economic opportunity. Takeaways & Call to Action: The episode emphasizes nonviolent activism, informed voter engagement, and systemic reform as necessary tools to protect the nation's future.

Are we living through an actual decline—or is that just a narrative fueled by polarization and economic anxiety? Tom and Michael clash over definitions, metrics, and the real-world symptoms of unrest, from “soft secession” among states to the creeping rise of populism and political violence. Together, they unpack the hidden costs of inflation, housing bubbles, and deficit spending, with Tom warning about a dangerous fork in the road ahead: revolution, civil war, or the quiet erosion into economic stagnation. Michael pushes back, claiming America is in “ascension” in some critical ways, but he doesn't shy away from calling out the breakdown in civic discourse and the silos fueling division. They dig into historical context, global comparisons, and the role of universities as modern indoctrination hubs. This conversation doesn't stop at politics—it veers into the future of AI, the meaning of tribalism, social credit scores, and how technological upheaval might drive us all into virtual worlds or leave millions behind. Buckle up for a wild ride through uncomfortable truths, dark humor, and some offbeat protein bar analogies—you're about to hear two radically different views not just of where America stands, but what could come next.   00:00 – Intro 00:34 – Michael Malice pushes back on “collapse” rhetoric 01:14 – America vs. the world: Perceptions of American power and value 04:16 – Political siloization and the shrinking space for dialogue 05:56 – Soft secession: State vs. federal power games 08:39 – Paths ahead: Civil War, Argentina, or revolution? 10:46 – Revolution mechanics: Is another 1860s-style war possible? 13:12 – Violence, political unrest, and expanding executive power 16:06 – Economic crushing of young people and the rise of populism 17:58 – Housing, inflation, and the struggle for the American Dream 20:08 – Currency as a store of value: Societal ruin and a lack of political will 23:10 – The Japan counterargument and the threshold for crisis 26:07 – What drives people to “blink” in political standoffs? 28:24 – Party priorities, empty rhetoric, and pivoting for power 32:00 – Economic disenfranchisement, the myth of moderate politics 36:56 – Populism vs. establishment: Energies within parties 39:03 – Political novelty, enthusiasm gaps, and voter turnout 41:38 – Global leftward drift: Authoritarianism in Canada, UK, and beyond 46:13 – “The time for talk is over”—what this actually means 47:27 – Universities as the “villains” and the creation of ruling elites 49:56 – Marxism, egalitarianism, and cultural bifurcation 52:02 – Cultural shifts, earnestness vs. revolution, and memory-holed leftism 54:00 – The dangers of social conformity and shifting the Overton window 56:29 – Can universities be reined in? 1:00:16 – Narrative control, new media chaos, and elite power after the Internet 1:06:49 – The politics of blame: Antisemitism, conspiracies, and populist rage 1:13:13 – Warning signs: Measuring society's health by its scapegoats 1:19:12 – Israel-Palestine, war, and the elusive search for peace 1:21:52 – The next stage: AI, algorithmic reality, and broken discourse 1:24:00 – Goal orientation, skills, and navigating “useful” beliefs 1:25:18 – Tribalism, isolation, and the dangers for moderates 1:26:46 – Alex Jones, Candace Owens, and why conspiracy theories persist 1:32:00 – First principles: How to actually challenge your beliefs 1:33:56 – A personal story: Sleep apnea, anxiety, and reclaiming clarity 1:37:21 – AI, automation, and the fate of surplus labor 1:40:08 – Brave New World, artificial difficulty, and the post-economic Matrix 1:48:56 – Hardwired for scarcity: The psychological cost of abundance 1:51:16 – Trade-offs, Thomas Sowell, and the “protein bar” thought experiment   --------------------------------------------------------------------  Check out our ACU Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/ACUPodcast   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

This week on Sinica, I chat with Lizzi Lee, a fellow on the Chinese economy at the Asia Society Policy Institute and one of the sharpest China analysts working today. We dig into the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th Party Congress and what it reveals about China's evolving growth model — particularly the much-discussed but often misunderstood push against "involution" in key sectors like EVs and solar. Lizzi walks us through the structural incentives driving overcompetition, from local government finance and VAT collection to the challenges of rebalancing supply and demand. We also discuss her recent Foreign Affairs piece on China's manufacturing model, why "overcapacity" is a misleading frame, the unexpected upsides of China's industrial strategy for the global green transition, and what happened at the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan. This is a conversation about getting beyond the binaries and understanding the actual mechanisms — and contradictions — shaping China's economic trajectory.4:43 – What Western reporting missed in the 4th Plenum communique 6:34 – The "anti-involution" push and what it really means 9:57 – Is China's domestic demand abnormally low?

Tara breaks down the current state of U.S. politics as midterms approach, highlighting why Republicans may face significant challenges despite Trump's efforts. From inflation, high federal spending, and stalled domestic job growth to the impacts of foreign visa programs, this episode explores why Americans aren't feeling the economic improvements promised. Tara also examines the structural obstacles in Congress, including allegedly fraudulent census seats and gerrymandered districts, that limit the ability to implement meaningful change. *Why the economy, jobs, and political strategy will decide the fate of the midterms.* Midterms, Republican strategy, Trump administration, Federal spending, Inflation, Jobs, Visa programs, Census fraud, Gerrymandering, Congress, Economic policy, Political obstacles, Election strategy, Energy prices, Continuing resolutions In this episode, Tara analyzes why the midterm elections could be a tough battle for Republicans despite Trump's ongoing efforts. She addresses Americans' frustration over high inflation, rising costs of living, and the lack of job growth, highlighting the impact of foreign visa programs that bring in skilled and unskilled labor amid limited domestic jobs. Tara also examines structural political challenges, including allegedly stolen congressional seats, gerrymandered districts, and federal spending that restricts economic reform. She argues that Trump's only path forward is to pursue a fraud-free census and redistricting before the midterms to secure the ability to enact meaningful policy changes and control inflation. The episode underscores that while Republicans hold a slight advantage, the fight for political and economic control is far from over.

Ivey Gruber joins the show to break down the results of yesterday's elections and what it means for America's future. As voters in key races embrace policies rooted in socialism, Ivey and Steve discuss the potential economic and cultural fallout. They also discuss the devastating collapse of Venezuela's once-thriving economy, warning what can happen when a nation trades freedom and fiscal discipline for government dependency and socialist promises.

Democrats won big in New York, New Jersey, Virginia and California last night. Is it a resounding rebound against the MAGA agenda or a blip that shows big problems ahead in the midterms for the GOP?

John Luke Tyner joins Diane King Hall to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history. He believes it will impact the markets and the economy, with government employees and people receiving benefits "in a tough spot."

Let's be honest — if our politicians really wanted housing to be affordable, it would be by now. They've had decades to fix it. There have been inquiries, commissions, roundtables, and billions thrown at so-called "affordability schemes." And yet, what do we have? Record house prices, record rents, and a generation of young Aussies wondering if they'll ever own a home. Maybe — just maybe — that's not an accident. In today's Big Picture episode, Ken Raiss and I unpack why the housing affordability crisis isn't a policy failure... it's the system working exactly as designed. We'll explore why politicians can't afford for property prices to fall, how government policy quietly rewards property owners, and what that means for investors like you.   Takeaways  ·         Housing affordability remains a critical issue in Australia. ·         Government policies often prioritize property value stability over affordability. ·         Cultural perceptions link home ownership to success in Australia. ·         A significant percentage of politicians own property, influencing housing policies. ·         Consumer confidence is low despite some economic improvements. ·         Investors should focus on strategic property purchases. ·         Wealth advisory services can help investors navigate complex markets. ·         Economic uncertainty can create opportunities for savvy investors. ·         Long-term planning is essential for property investment success. ·         Education and preparation are key for investors to capitalize on market changes.     Chapters  02:07 - Why Politicians Can't Afford for Property Prices to Fall  04:59 - How Government Taxes Depend on Rising Property Values  06:50 - Banks, Confidence and the Economy Built on Housing  09:05 - Cultural Bias: Homeownership as the Core of Australia's Identity  12:11 - Why 94% of Politicians Own Property and Won't Change the Rules    Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's Ahead For Property For 2026 And Beyond.     Michael Yardney http://michaelyardney.com/   Get the team at Metropole Wealth Advisory to create a Strategic Wealth plan for your needs Click here and have a chat with us   Ken Raiss, Director of Metropole Wealth Advisory   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast, Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

Building wealth takes time, patience, and strategy. This week, we discuss Morgan Housel's reminder that “wealth requires long-term effort”, what to consider for year-end Roth conversion opportunities — and answer a listener's question about what to do when IRA withdrawals outpace spending and money is sitting in the bank.

He reveals that a World Health Organization official admitted that promoting "famine" in Gaza was a deliberate communications and political pressure strategy, despite adequate food supply. Hoenlein confirms that Hezbollah is rearming and refashioning ordnance in Lebanon, forcing Israel's hand.

How do we advocate for equity amidst federal policy changes that actively widen gender and racial gaps?Since April, a record-low unemployment rate for Black Americans has skyrocketed, surging from below 5% to 7.5%. At the same time, the unemployment rate for white Americans dropped slightly to below 4%. The economic position for Black women in particular was just beginning to get better, and today, slashed public sector jobs and a slew of other factors are causing a rapid backslide.When people of color, and especially Black women, lose ground, it's a flashing neon warning sign of systemic cracks that, ultimately, impact us all. In this episode, I'm breaking down the of data that highlights just how heavily our current economic problems are impacting American workers, families, and communities.The numbers don't lie. Here's what they show:The federal and public sector job cuts are disproportionately impacting Black women;Attacks on DEI programs are stifling improvements that had barely begun;Good leadership today looks like advocating for equity and opportunity for all.Related Links:Joint Center for Economic and Policy Research, “The Best Black Economy in Generations – And Why It Isn't Enough” - https://jointcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/The-Best-Black-Economy-in-Generations-Final.pdfEconomic Policy Institute, “What's behind rising unemployment for Black workers?” - https://www.epi.org/blog/whats-behind-rising-unemployment-for-black-workers/The New York Times, “The Racial Wage Gap is Shrinking” - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/19/briefing/juneteenth-racial-wage-gap.htmlThe New York Times, “In Trump's Federal Work Force Cuts, Black Women Are Among the Hardest Hit” - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/us/politics/trump-federal-work-force-black-women.htmlMSNBC, “300,000 Black women have left the labor force in 3 months.

Are your deals taking longer to close lately? Economic uncertainty has created a perfect storm for B2B sellers. Deals that closed easily last year now stall indefinitely, buyers ghost after months of relationship building, and budget conversations end with requests for huge discounts.   The good news is that you're not doing anything wrong. However, the frustrating reality is that this pattern is playing out across industries as CFOs tighten their grip on every purchase decision, creating longer approval cycles and more complex buying committees.   If you want to stop getting ghosted and start closing deals again, this episode is your roadmap. Join Eleanor this week as she breaks down six data-backed economic insights that explain exactly why buyers are exercising extreme caution right now, and the four core strategies to keep your buyers buying through winter 2025/26.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO74   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

In this conversation, philosopher and counselor Tyrone Powell discusses his journey from a corporate career to becoming a counselor. He focuses on the importance of self-discovery and the impact of economic stress on mental health.    He critiques the reliance on labels in mental health and advocates for a more holistic approach that considers the individual's environment and societal factors.    They also discuss how labels and diagnoses in mental health can be both helpful and harmful depending on their use cases, and how coping mechanisms can become harmful when overused.    The discussion also touches on the significance of community support over traditional systems, the role of coping mechanisms, and the need for a shift in how mental health is perceived and treated in society.   Tyrone and Nick deeply discuss how economic stress significantly impacts mental health and the importance of class consciousness in counseling.    They also discuss how the current economic conditions are causing the middle class to disappear into poverty, and how our government and societal systems will continue to fail to lift those out of poverty.    Enjoy this episode and go through life with your eyes wide open.    Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tyrone Powell 01:43 Journey to Counseling and Self-Discovery 05:28 The Role of Labels in Mental Health 09:10 Understanding Mental Wellness 12:42 The Impact of Environment on Mental Health 16:09 Coping Mechanisms and Their Effects 19:58 The Shadow Self and Personal Growth 23:34 Class Conscious Counseling and Its Importance 27:02 Challenging the Status Quo in Therapy 33:04 The Interconnection of Economic and Mental Health Issues 35:23 Therapeutic Approaches to Financial Stress 39:05 Generational Perspectives on Financial Literacy 42:06 The State of the Middle Class and Economic Anxiety 45:52 The Role of Community in Addressing Systemic Issues 50:31 Capitalism is Eating Itself and Disappearing the Middle Class 57:22 Everything in Your Life Comes Back to Politics  Find Tyrone Powell here: Instagram: https://instagram.com/tyronethephilosopher  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TyronethePhilosopher Podcast: "It's Okay, Man" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-okay-man/id1809681299  Website: https://hellotyrone.ca/    Find Nick Thompson here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/ |   https://www.instagram.com/the_ucan_foundation/    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EyesWideOpenContent    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/      UCAN Foundation: https://theucanfoundation.org/  Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/     

A 10% to 20% pullback predicted by Morgan Stanely (MS) and Goldman Sachs (GS) CEOs can be good for the market, argues Dory Wiley. He points to tech names like Palantir (PLTR) gaining significant traction in recent months that could benefit from a valuation cooldown. He sees small banks benefitting the most in the current economic environment and offers perspective on stocks he is watching. Dory adds that the uptick in inflation makes it difficult for the Fed to cut interest rates further.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Annual giving programs across every sector are struggling—and the old tactics no longer work. To re-engage donors, fundraisers must borrow from behavioral economics: reduce friction, offer clear defaults, and frame choices that inspire action. Subtle “nudges,” simplified giving options, and immediate impact stories can transform inertia into generosity. In a noisy, overloaded world, the organizations that understand how people actually make giving decisions will be the ones that thrive.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Cryptogaucho to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, crypto, and Argentina's emerging role as a new frontier for innovation and governance. The conversation ranges from OpenAI's partnership with Sur Energy and the Stargate project to Argentina's RIGI investment framework, Milei's libertarian reforms, and the potential of space-based data centers and new jurisdictions beyond Earth. Cryptogaucho also reflects on Argentina's tech renaissance, its culture of resilience born from hyperinflation, and the rise of experimental communities like Prospera and Noma Collective. Follow him on X at @CryptoGaucho.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop opens with Cryptogaucho from Mendoza, talking about Argentina, AI, crypto, and the energy around new projects like Sur Energy and Satellogic.05:00 – They dive into Argentina's growing space ambitions, spaceport plans, and how jurisdiction could extend “upward” through satellites and data sovereignty.10:00 – The talk shifts to global regulation, bureaucracy, and why Argentina's uncertainty may become its strength amid red tape in the US and China.15:00 – Discussion of OpenAI's Stargate project, AI infrastructure in Patagonia, and the geopolitical tension between state and private innovation.20:00 – Cryptogaucho explains the “cepo” currency controls, the black market for dollars, and crypto's role in preserving economic freedom.25:00 – They unpack RIGI investment incentives, Argentina's new economic rules, and efforts to attract major projects like data centers and nuclear reactors.30:00 – Stewart connects hyperinflation to resilience and abundance in the AI era, while Cryptogaucho reflects on chaos, adaptability, and optimism.35:00 – The conversation turns philosophical: nation-states, community networks, Prospera, and the rise of new governance models.40:00 – They explore Argentina's global position, soft power, and its role as a frontier of Western ideals.45:00 – Final reflections on AI in space, data centers beyond Earth, and freedom of information as humanity's next jurisdiction.Key InsightsArgentina as a new technological frontier: The episode positions Argentina as a nation uniquely situated between chaos and opportunity—a place where political uncertainty and flexible regulation create fertile ground for experimentation. Stewart Alsop and Cryptogaucho argue that this openness, combined with a culture forged in crisis, allows Argentina to become a testing ground for new models of governance, technology, and sovereignty.The convergence of AI, energy, and geography: OpenAI's deal with Sur Energy and plans for a data center in Patagonia signal how Argentina's geography and resources are becoming integral to the global AI infrastructure. Cryptogaucho highlights the symbolic and strategic power of Argentina serving as a “southern node” for the intelligence economy.Economic reinvention through RIGI: The RIGI framework offers tax and regulatory advantages to major investors, marking a turning point in Argentina's attempt to attract stable, high-value industries such as server farms, mining, and biotech. It represents a pragmatic balance between libertarian reform and national development.Crypto and currency freedom: Cryptogaucho recounts how Argentina's crypto community arose from necessity during hyperinflation and currency controls. Bitcoin and stablecoins became lifelines for developers and entrepreneurs locked out of traditional banking systems, teaching the world about decentralized resilience.AI abundance and human adaptation: The discussion draws parallels between hyperinflation's unpredictability and the overwhelming speed of AI progress. Stewart suggests that Argentina's social adaptability, born from scarcity and instability, may prepare its citizens for a future defined by abundance and rapid technological flux.Network states and new governance: The conversation explores Prospera, Noma Collective, and the idea of city-scale governance networks. These experiments, blending blockchain, law, and community, are seen as prototypes for post-nation-state organization—where trust and culture matter more than geography.Space as the next jurisdiction: The episode ends with an exploration of space as a new legal and economic domain. Satellites, data centers, and orbital communication networks could redefine sovereignty, creating “data islands” beyond Earth where information flows freely under new kinds of governance—a vision of humanity's next frontier.

2025 has been a rough year for charities.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, of course, Israel does not control President Trump, nor has it controlled any past president. Israel is not "ethnic" cleansing, that would be the motivations and intentions of the Islamist terrorists -- throughout the Middle East and Africa.  The multiple and unprecedented steps it has taken to try to limit casualties, at the cost of IDF soldiers' lives and increasing the longevity of the war in Gaza, is no secret,  and we were not ethnic cleansing when we destroyed multiple population centers in Europe and Japan during World War II. Israel is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious society and a democracy.  The only one in the Middle East.  How many Christians and Jews remain in Arab and Muslim countries in the Middle East, and for those few who are left, are they treated equally?  These are basic facts. Later, we're at a time where constitutional conservatives and their institutions are being tested.  It's simple for people of real faith to reject evil and stand firm in the battle of ideas, rather than equivocate due to conflicts. America faces a turning point; platforms, think tanks, politicians must choose and reveal if they're pretenders or defenders of liberty, as Reagan warned freedom is one generation from extinction.  Also, capitalism is the only humane economic system. Economic socialism is an inhumane economic system. Socialism ​promotes ​the ​welfare ​state. ​Capitalism ​promotes ​the ​individual. Zohran Mamdani has ​no ​idea how ​to ​do ​anything except ​use ​the ​iron ​fist ​of ​government ​to ​impose ​his ​ideology. He is calling for a massive welfare state. Afterward, America First prioritizes the exceptional nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles and Enlightenment ideals—the Declaration of Independence and unparalleled Constitution—with limited representative government, federalism, God-given unalienable rights, and strong federal roles in national security, borders, and sound money. It rejects suicidal isolationism. Finally, Rep Byron Donalds calls in to discuss the government shutdown. He exposes the Democrats hypocrisy, pointing out Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats voted for the identical measure in March. Donalds argues they're posturing as tough guys to appease the crazy radical left and thwart Trump and MAGA, but lack real policies or ideas to help Americans, instead leading the country down the wrong road.
