Tara breaks down stronger-than-expected jobs data, rising wages, and bold predictions of a political and economic shakeup heading into the midterms. HOOK The economy is “smoking hot” heading into fall — at least according to new jobs numbers and top political voices. Tara says the data signals a major shift, and some insiders are predicting a political earthquake ahead. DESCRIPTION Today's AMPERWAVE DAILY dives into fresh economic data showing U.S. job growth beating expectations, with payrolls rising by 115,000 and wage growth holding steady at 4.4%. Tara and Lee break down claims that the economy is rebounding after years of wage stagnation and inflation pressures tied to federal spending and monetary policy under President Joe Biden. The episode also highlights commentary from economic voices like Larry Kudlow and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who argue the economy and political landscape are shifting rapidly ahead of the next election cycle. Tara also discusses broader debates over wages, inflation, purchasing power, and how recent policy shifts under President Donald Trump may be impacting economic momentum and voter sentiment heading into the midterms. KEY TOPICS Stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report Wage growth and purchasing power trends Inflation vs. earnings debate ADP employment data and revisions Economic comparison: Biden vs. Trump eras Midterm election predictions Newt Gingrich forecast of GOP gains Larry Kudlow on economic acceleration Federal Reserve / inflation policy implications SEGMENTS SEGMENT 1 — “Jobs Report Shock” Tara opens with the latest employment data showing 115,000 new jobs added, with unemployment steady at 4.3%. The discussion focuses on why economists were caught off guard and what the numbers suggest about underlying labor market strength. SEGMENT 2 — “Wages vs. Inflation Battle” The conversation turns to wage growth at 4.4% and debates over inflation's impact on purchasing power. Tara argues that rising wages may be slowly offsetting earlier inflation pressures tied to government spending policies. SEGMENT 3 — “Economic Policy Showdown” The hosts compare current economic trends with previous years under President Joe Biden and discuss claims that earlier monetary expansion contributed to inflation and wage stagnation concerns. SEGMENT 4 — “Midterm Earthquake Predictions” Political heavyweight commentary from Larry Kudlow and Newt Gingrich fuels speculation that Republicans could see significant gains if current economic momentum continues into the election cycle under President Donald Trump.

In this brief travel-day episode of The Wright Report, Bryan shares major political fallout from Indiana's state Senate races, where Republican primary voters sent a loud message to GOP leaders: fight back in the redistricting wars or get replaced. He explains how five of President Trump's seven endorsed candidates won, replacing Republican officials who refused to aggressively redraw congressional maps and allowed Democrats to hold House seats in otherwise deep-red territory. Bryan says the results signal that GOP voters across the country want stronger action at both the state and federal level as the battle over House control intensifies heading into the midterms. He also previews Secretary of State Marco Rubio's upcoming trip to Italy to meet with Pope Leo as tensions continue over immigration and the war with Iran, and delivers a surprising update from the Middle East: the White House says the offensive phase of the Iran conflict is over, while President Trump has suddenly paused Project Freedom and eased pressure in the Strait of Hormuz to give peace negotiations more room. Bryan signals strong disagreement with that move, arguing Iran only responds to strength and warning against allowing Tehran to control one of the world's most critical waterways. Plus, Bryan highlights encouraging economic news for the White House, with factory orders and hiring both rising more than expected despite ongoing pressure from fuel prices, and shares an update on his America 250th anniversary Oregon film project, now heading into editing with teaser videos coming soon.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Indiana GOP primary redistricting fight 2026 Trump endorsements House seats, Republican gerrymandering strategy state senate elections Indiana, Marco Rubio Pope Leo meeting immigration Iran conflict Vatican, Trump pauses Project Freedom Strait of Hormuz peace talks Iran 2026, Iran ceasefire negotiations offensive phase over White House update, US factory orders rise March 2026 hiring growth Trump economy, gas prices inflation approval ratings economic outlook, America 250th anniversary Oregon documentary Bryan Dean Wright, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

AI is becoming a scale and control business. On Episode 297 of The Six Five Pod, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman examine the companies building the infrastructure, forming the alliances, and making the moves that will define who wins and who gets squeezed out. Control is shifting across compute, models, infrastructure, and enterprise distribution as NVIDIA, Microsoft, OpenAI, Meta, and others push to control the next phase of the AI market. The handpicked topics for this week are: NVIDIA's Full-Stack Push Gets Bigger: Following the GTC conference in San Jose, Pat and Dan break down how NVIDIA continues expanding beyond GPUs with Vera CPU, Dynamo, and a broader agentic AI stack designed to unify training, inference, orchestration, and enterprise-grade security. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Amazon Enter a New Phase of Tension: With Microsoft reportedly weighing legal action over OpenAI's growing AWS relationship, the discussion turns to exclusivity, multi-cloud strategy, and what happens when one of AI's most important alliances starts to crack. China, Compute, and the Geopolitics of AI Access: The hosts examine NVIDIA's reported H200 restart for China and what it says about export controls, policy pressure, and the global fight over advanced AI compute. Meta's $27B Infrastructure Agreement Signals the Real Race: Meta's latest infrastructure deal reinforces a central point of this episode, demand for AI capacity is still outrunning supply, and hyperscalers are moving aggressively to lock in long-term compute. OpenAI's Enterprise Push Raises Bigger Business Model Questions: As OpenAI leans harder into enterprise and eyes an eventual IPO, Pat and Dan unpack what this pivot says about monetization pressure, competitive positioning, and the need to prove a durable AI business model. The GPU Smuggling Story Shows How Valuable AI Hardware Has Become: A major smuggling case involving NVIDIA hardware spotlights the black market for AI chips and the growing intersection of compute, national security, and enforcement. The Flip: Did NVIDIA Just Change the Inference Market Again? This week's debate centers on whether NVIDIA's $20bn Groq Technology deal kills the standalone inference chip market, or whether it actually validates the market by proving just how strategically important specialized inference has become. The Fed, Micron, and Accenture Reflect a More Complicated Market: In Bulls and Bears, the hosts cover the Fed's latest decision, Micron's AI-driven momentum, and why Accenture's results still ran into skepticism despite strong execution. Meta's Workforce Cuts and AI Spend Reflect the New Corporate Tradeoff: The episode closes on the growing tension between rising AI investment and labor efficiency, as companies look for ways to fund massive infrastructure and token budgets while restructuring headcount.

Let's talk about Trump's inflation coming in hot and more economic news....

I'm sorry to say it's a bit of a bad day - a day of rather unpleasant economic news, I'm afraid. Let's start with the GDP number. It came in at 0.2 percent for the final quarter of last year, which is very much at the low end of expectations. We were looking for something in the range of 0.2 percent to 0.5 percent, with 0.5 percent being the Reserve Bank's forecast. The problem with that is those were the good times. That number was recorded before the Iran war kicked off, so it's not much of a place to be starting from, is it? Now the good news is that at least we are recovering. Yes, it's slow - it's grinding - which we always knew it would be but it is real. We recorded 1.3 percent growth for the year. That's not a lot, but it is growth and it marks the first time in more than two years that the economy has posted annual growth. Because the GDP result is at the low end, it also gives the Reserve Bank a bit more latitude when it comes to its OCR decision. It can look through the inflation spike that the Iran war will almost certainly cause, which means it doesn't need to be in such a hurry to raise the Official Cash Rate in response. The second piece of bad news today is that the war has escalated. Israel has struck Iran's oil fields, pushing the price of oil past US$110 a barrel. It's noticeable that the Government's tone has shifted on fuel supply. In an update, officials sounded far less relaxed about fuel availability into the medium term - around eight weeks out - than they did earlier in the week. There is, again, a small piece of good news here. We are largely reliant on South Korea and Singapore for our oil and they are still supplying their customers. Australia, by contrast, is much more reliant on China - and China has banned exports. So, if we're looking for a bright side: our supply situation looks better than some and at least we are growing. That gives us some reason not to panic on a day of not-so-great economic news. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's talk about the Trump-EU trade deal stalling and more economic news....

One of the nation's largest brewers says it expects tariffs on the aluminum used in its cans to dent its profits this year.Molson Coors said in its latest financial results that an 8.1% jump in its average cost of goods sold in the quarter, in part, reflected increases in the U.S. Midwest aluminum premium, and noted that commodity inflation would continue to affect profitability this year. Company officials estimated at an industry conference Wednesday that aluminum costs would impact profit by about $125 million, Reuters reported.#MolsonCoors, #AluminumTariffs, #Tariffs, #AluminumPrices, #CommodityInflation, #BeerIndustry, #ManufacturingCosts, #BusinessNews, #CorporateEarnings, #SupplyChain, #Inflation, #USManufacturing, #MetalsMarket, #TradePolicy, #EconomicNews, #BeverageIndustry, #CostOfGoodsSold, #ProfitMargins, #Reuters, #MillerLite, #Peroni, #Vizzy

This hour we heard the breaking news that the Supreme Court ruled against President Trump. 

Last month, Conn-Selmer – a manufacturer that's said to be the last to produce brass musical instruments in the United States – announced that it would be closing its plant in Eastlake, Ohio.And while it's not exactly an unfamiliar story, this situation has a bit of an interesting twist: the production is reportedly going to a Conn-Selmer plant in China, and the company's owner, John Paulson, has been an outspoken critic of offshoring.On the line are 150 union jobs and Conn-Selmer workers, members of UAW Local 2359, are predicted to lose their positions at the end of June. According to the union, they'd planned to bargain a new contract last month when, instead, they were told the plant would close. Leaders called it “a slap in the face.”A recent report by the BBC cited union workers who claimed Conn-Selmer has had a plan in the works for a while. They said the company opened a new facility in China last year and the Ohio plant's workload gradually began to shift overseas – even though workers were allegedly told that the China plant would not have an impact on the U.S. factory's workload.#ConnSelmer, #ManufacturingNews, #Offshoring, #USManufacturing, #MadeInUSA, #FactoryClosure, #UnionJobs, #UAW, #OhioManufacturing, #BrassInstruments, #MusicIndustry, #JobLoss, #LaborNews, #SupplyChain, #ChinaManufacturing, #IndustrialNews, #AmericanJobs, #EconomicNews, #PlantClosure, #ManufacturingIndustry, #CNBC, #BBCNews

He then explains why the AI Revolution is rattling markets and jobs alike, as new tools automate white-collar work faster than expected, raising hard questions about wages, employment, and who benefits from the coming productivity boom.

The episode pivots global with updates on cartel expansion into illegal vape trafficking in Mexico, a dramatic political turn in Bolivia as Chinese-backed projects are canceled and a former Marxist president vanishes, fresh evidence that China is massively expanding coal power despite climate promises, rising tensions over the Panama Canal, deepening financial strain on Russia as India weighs oil cuts, and renewed maneuvering with Iran that could set the stage for another major U.S. strike.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 5 2026 Wright Report, Five Bucket Strategy minerals pact China, rare earth price floor Western mining, Argentina lithium copper Rubio, rent-to-own housing builders plan, AI Revolution market volatility Anthropic Claude, OpenClaw personalized AI risk, Minnesota ICE cooperation Tom Homan lighter touch, Democrats judges resist ICE, Rio Grande buoy wall Operation River Wall, Mexico cartel vape pens, Bolivia cancels China zinc project Morales missing, China coal expansion climate hypocrisy, Panama Canal cyber threat China, Russia oil revenue drop India decision, Iran nuclear talks Operation Midnight Hammer II

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers China's interference in the New York City mayoral race, the stalled government funding battle in Washington, new data showing a resilient U.S. economy, dangerous foreign truck drivers on American roads, and spy games unfolding in Silicon Valley.   China Meddles in the NYC Mayoral Race: The Chinese Communist Party is boosting socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani on TikTok while suppressing content from rival Andrew Cuomo. Bryan calls it “bonkers” that America still allows a Chinese propaganda platform to shape its elections and urges Congress to shut it down immediately.   Democrats Block Government Funding Again: The Senate has now voted twelve times to reopen the government, and twelve times Democrats have said no — rejecting a bill to pay essential workers unless new health subsidies are included. Bryan says, “They're holding America's workers hostage for political gain.”   U.S. Economy Beats Expectations: Manufacturing activity rose for the fourth straight month, and Trump's tariffs show no inflationary impact. Mortgage rates dropped to 6.19%, their lowest of the year, while consumer spending remains strong among wealthier households. Bryan warns, however, that working-class families are still struggling under high costs.   Chinese Knockoff Airbags Kill Americans: At least six people have died after counterfeit Chinese airbags exploded during crashes, sending shrapnel through vehicles. The NHTSA is investigating, with cases tied to used Chevys and Hyundais.   Foreign Trucker Crisis Deepens: Indian nationals driving illegally in the U.S. are causing deadly crashes after repeatedly failing licensing tests. Bryan reports on one driver who failed ten times but still obtained a CDL through a corrupt Washington State program.   Silicon Valley Honeypot Spies: China and Russia are planting operatives — often young women — inside Bay Area tech firms to steal AI and defense secrets through seduction and marriage. Bryan shares a chilling real-life CIA story illustrating the tactic's human toll.   AI and the Power Problem: OpenAI's massive Texas data center will now run on its own natural gas plant, while the White House expands geothermal energy projects across the West. Bryan calls it “good news for your electric bill — and bad news for America's enemies.”   Good News for U.S. Workers: Provalus, a call center company, is bringing jobs back from India to rural America, paying $40,000 salaries for customer service roles. Bryan says, “It's proof that good business and good patriotism can live in the same company.”   Medical News — Social Media and the Brain: New research shows teens who spend more time on social media score lower in reading and memory tests, suggesting digital overstimulation harms brain development.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: TikTok China interference NYC mayor race, Zohran Mamdani Andrew Cuomo, Senate Democrats block funding bill, Trump tariffs manufacturing growth, U.S. mortgage rates 6.19, Chinese counterfeit airbags NHTSA, illegal Indian truck drivers Washington State CDL, Silicon Valley honeypot spies China Russia, OpenAI Stargate Texas natural gas, geothermal energy leases Nevada Idaho, Provalus rural call centers jobs, social media brain research teenagers

If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.
