Am 28. Februar 2026 haben die USA und Israel mit koordinierten Luftangriffen auf den Iran begonnen und damit die größte amerikanische Militäroperation im Nahen Osten seit dem Irakkrieg 2003 gestartet. Die Straße von Hormus, eine der wichtigsten Frachtschifffahrtsrouten der Welt, ist seitdem faktisch geschlossen. Durch dieses maritime Nadelöhr fließen rund 20 Prozent des weltweiten Ölhandels und bedeutende Mengen Flüssigerdgas. Innerhalb der ersten Woche nach dem Angriff ist der Ölpreis um mehr als 25 Prozent gestiegen. Für Deutschland – ohnehin geschwächt durch die höchsten Energiekosten aller großen Industrieländer – ist das der nächste Schock.In Folge #267 „Energie ist Wohlstand“ hat der Mannheimer Ökonom Prof. Tom Krebs detailliert gezeigt, was zu hohe Energiepreise Deutschland kosten: 175 Milliarden Euro Wohlstandsverlust pro Jahr, Deindustrialisierung in Schlüsselsektoren und eine Erosion der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit gegenüber den USA und Asien.

The government has approved OceanaGold's Waihi North mining project, extending gold and silver extraction in the Waihi area until 2043, delighting the pro-mining crowd. It's a decision I agree with. Waihi has already been extensively mined and the environment beaten up. The decision will keep the town alive and provide hundreds of jobs. But make no mistake, this will not be an El Dorado for the whole country. The royalties are still at the excruciatingly low level they've always been at. Waihi North will generate $5.2 billion in additional gold and silver exports over its 18-year lifespan — averaging $286 million per year. Meanwhile, Crown revenue from corporate tax, PAYE, and royalties is expected to total a net present value of $422m over the life of the project. That's not an economy-saving sum, and it represents an 8 per cent yield on the output. But a deal is a deal. What concerns me is thoughts of new claims — the area behind Pauanui and Tairua on the Coromandel. Or the new work proposed for Bendigo. Until the whole nation truly benefits from the work that damages our land, is it worth it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The first half of 2025 has been marked by broadening macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. How is this uncertainty likely to affect the U.S. economy over the coming months? And over the longer term? Mark Zandi joins EconoFact Chats to point out that while an immediate recession is unlikely, policies on tariffs, university and research funding, immigration, the budget, and efforts to influence monetary policy can have corrosive effects on long term growth. Mark is the Chief Economist of Moody's Analytics. He serves on the board of directors of MGIC, the nation's largest private mortgage insurance company, and is the lead director of Reinvestment Fund, one of the nation's largest community development financial institutions.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Jonathan Jennings, a meteorologist at the Utah Division of Water Resources and president of the Weather Modification Association. Jennings's work focuses on cloud seeding, a technology that can reduce hail and increase rainfall or snowfall by introducing chemicals into clouds, yielding more water for agriculture, aquifers, and bodies of water. Jennings outlines the chemistry and physics behind cloud seeding, how much additional precipitation the technology can elicit from clouds, and the scale at which cloud seeding is used. He also speaks to public concerns about modifying weather and shares insights on how experts can better communicate the goals, methods, and impacts of this technology to the public.

Tariffs on Mexico and Canada begin on February 1, or do they? Whether President Trump is merely posturing or not, the threat is real and the situation globally they would be starting from makes for a difficult mix.

1. The Potential TikTok Ban and Its Political FalloutThe episode delved into the potential banning of TikTok in the U.S. and the political ripples it could create, particularly for Republicans if such a move is executed shortly after inauguration. The hosts speculated on notable buyers like Kevin O'Leary and Elon Musk and even shared a humorous anecdote about a fake Elon Musk account jesting about buying TikTok and renaming it. The discussion invoked a sense of nostalgia for Vine and posed the idea that Elon Musk could revive it as a strong competitor to TikTok.2. Wildfires in California: Insurance and Economic ImpactThe hosts painted a grim picture of the wildfires in California, predicting them to be the costliest disaster in U.S. history, with insurance costs estimated between $250 and $270 billion. They critiqued California's environmental laws and insurance regulations, arguing that restrictions on insurance premium adjustments have prompted companies to withdraw fire insurance, negatively impacting residents. They also called out the government's poor allocation of resources as a contributing factor to the disaster, pointing fingers at infrastructure issues like old power lines and the lack of maintenance.3. Capitalism vs. Increasing RegulationsA significant portion of the episode focused on the alleged decline of capitalism due to increasing regulatory interventions. The hosts contended that true capitalism hasn't existed since the Federal Reserve was established. They drew historical parallels, such as the Utah War, to make their case about governmental overreach infringing on personal freedoms and private property. The discussion touched on how modern governance, particularly in states like California, has altered traditional property ownership through mechanisms like property taxes.4. California Taxes and Political Allocation of FundsDiamond Hands D issued a strong critique of California's high taxes, alleging misallocation of funds to various unions instead of essential public services like fire and police stations. The conversation included a discussion on the Democrat-union relationship, where Democrats are purported to promise high wages to unions, creating a cycle of support and financial mismanagement. The hosts went further, suggesting that hot-button social issues like abortion rights are used to distract the public from financial improprieties.5. Rebranding and Cultural Shifts of Mark ZuckerbergThe episode covered the noticeable shift in Mark Zuckerberg's public image towards more conservative and traditionally masculine traits. The hosts discussed how cultural and political pressures, such as perceived governmental influence, potentially pushed Zuckerberg towards censorship practices in the past. They observed his recent rebranding efforts, which include personal choices like fitness and martial arts training, signaling an alignment with more conservative values and an attempt to reshape his image.By highlighting these multifaceted discussions, the "Capitalist Investor" podcast effectively engaged its audience with timely and provocative content, analyzing current events through the lens of economic and political ideologies. Whether examining policy impacts, corporate actions, or cultural shifts, this episode offered a comprehensive look at issues shaping today's political and economic landscapes.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon In the week since the election, the economy has already seen large shifts. The return of President-elect Trump to the White House has sparked a stock market rally, though financial experts warn that Mr. Trump’s proposed tariffs could spell rough weather in 2025. Inside Sources hosts Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon dig into the numbers. 

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon  President-elect Trump announces more picks for his team President-elect Donald Trump is getting right to work, announcing more choices for his cabinet and transition team. We begin Inside Sources discussing the choice of Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, Kristi Noem for Homeland Security, and Mike Waltz as a national security advisor.  Economic effects post-election In the week since the election, the economy has already seen large shifts. The return of President-elect Trump to the White House has sparked a stock market rally, though financial experts warn that Mr. Trump’s proposed tariffs could spell rough weather in 2025. Inside Sources hosts Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon dig into the numbers.  How Trump’s victory could affect the future of the GOP Donald Trump’s return to power signifies changes within the Republican Party, and a potential growing shift between populists and conservatives. While party platforms certainly change over time, could Trump’s more diverse views lead to further rifts in the GOP? Listen to find out what the Inside Sources think.  Republicans poised to keep control over the House Several news and media organizations are predicting that Republicans will maintain control of the United States House of Representatives. This would give the Republican Party a trifecta of control. So, what’ll be the first agenda items they tackle? Inside Sources discusses the possibilities.  Salt Lake County prepares for potential failure of public safety bond While ballots in Salt Lake County are still being counted, it’s looking more and more like the $507 million public safety bond will fail. Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon examine possible reasons why voters decided to not support the bond. Did it come down to messaging or total cost?   Republicans look to flip Utah House District 10 Utah House District 10 has been the only Democratic seat outside of Salt Lake County for several years. But now, it looks like Republicans will flip the seat in Weber County. Republican candidate for Utah House 10 Jill Koford joins the program to talk about her campaign and top priorities if she officially wins the seat.  Senator-elect John Curtis discusses future Senate leadership Senator-elect John Curtis has served Utah as a Congressman for several years, but now he’s heading to the Senate. What’s up first on his agenda? He joins the program to discuss his next steps. He also talks about the battle for leadership in the Senate.  Congressman Blake Moore talks about leadership in the U.S. House Congressman Blake Moore (UT-1) quickly rose in the ranks in Congressional leadership, becoming Conference Vice Chair and earning a seat on the House Ways and Means Committee. As President-elect Trump taps folks to fill his leadership positions, it’s opening some House leadership positions. Congressman Moore joins the show to discuss the potential leadership shakeup.  

Full disclosure, many of these proposals will never come to fruition.  However, it is election time, so why not have some fun with this? I spent a lot of time digging into each candidate's tax proposals, as well as the potential impact to you, PFR Nation. Let me be clear, this is not an endorsement for either candidate, nor is it a recommendation to make changes based on these hypothetical proposals.   However, tax changes will inevitably impact all of us, so it's important to understand what each candidate is proposing.  Furthermore, I would note that I am not going to vote solely based on tax proposals, but it's a pretty big deal to me personally and professionally.   The topics I'll hit on are in regards to: Business Taxes/Corporate Taxes Capital Gains and Dividends Credits, Deductions, Exemptions Estate and Wealth Taxes Excise Taxes Individual Income taxes Social Security and Medicare Tariffs and Trade I recognize there are MANY more tax proposals in the mix, but I wanted to focus on the ones that will impact PFR Nation the most.   So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy this episode.   Kevin Resources Mentioned: Tracking 2024 Presidential Tax Plans Tariff Tracker: Tracking the Economic Impact of the Trump-Biden Tariffs Why the Economic Effects of Taxes (Including Tariffs) Matter The Unpleasant Arithmetic of Kamala Harris's Housing Plan Congressional Budget Office Shows 2017 Tax Law Reduced Tax Rates Across the Board in 2018 Who Bears the Burden of the Corporate Income Tax?

Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the West has imposed over 16,000 sanctions on Russia, intending to cripple the economy driving the Kremlin's war machine. But the much-anticipated collapse of Russia's economy never came to pass. In fact, Russia's wartime economy has proven to be surprisingly resilient, with the IMF estimating that Russia's GDP grew by 3.5% in 2023 and will continue to grow by 3.2% in 2024. The Kremlin has managed to keep Russia's economy afloat, in large part, by increased military spending and forging new partnerships with countries like China and India who don't mind flying in the face of Western sanctions. And although the Kremlin touts all of this as evidence that the West and its sanctions have failed in their endeavors to defeat Russia, a closer look under the hood reveals a more desperate disposition. A recent Financial Times article paints a more bleak picture of Russia's relative power in the world's geopolitical hierarchy and the economic consequences it brings. Financial Times' Russia correspondent, Anastasiia Stognei, joined The Naked Pravda to reconcile these two vastly different images being painted of Russia's economy and to discuss the potential long-term consequences of the war in Russia.

Michael Feroli joins Nora Szentivanyi to discuss the economic effects of surging US immigration. Immigration has soared over the last few years, profoundly affecting some of the widely-followed economic statistics. It's been important to the surprising pace of job growth, even alongside a modestly increasing unemployment rate. This, in turn, has added to overall income and output growth. The increase in immigration probably hasn't had a first order effect on inflation: immigrants add to labor supply, but also add to consumer demand. However, there are many nuances to this assessment.    This podcast was recorded on March 21, 2024.
