Description: Windrock Wealth Management's Chris Casey joins Trey Reik to deliver a stark warning: the new budget bill is being dangerously misunderstood, and it could unleash a fiscal and market crisis.

Key takeaways: – Why the new tax bill worsens debt and misses spending reform – What happens when markets realize the U.S. can't repay its debt – Why 2025 could trigger a surge in interest rates – How gold, silver, and crypto may protect you – The danger of trusting government forecasts Get a free portfolio review from Chris Casey at https://bit.ly/4kOMblhGet to Know Chris Casey: His Journey, Strategy, and Financial Philosophy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2DdcqtoBYs Hard Assets Alliance - The Best Way to Invest in Gold and Silver: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Chapters: 1:01 - Is Wall Street Blind to Trump's “Beautiful” Tax/Budget Bomb Bill? 3:45 - The Most Dangerous Parts of the New Tax/Budget Bill 5:58 - Permanent Cuts or Ticking Time Bomb? 7:08 - The Deficit Spiral No One's Pricing In 9:36 - Can the Fed Save Us from Soaring Yields? 11:00 - Bondholders Beware: Why Long Duration Could Hurt 12:06 - Cutting Equity Risk Before the Storm Hits 12:44 - Where Smart Money Is Hiding Right Now 15:40 - Central Banks Are Buying Gold—Should You? 16:18 - Are Growth Projections Just Political Fairy Tales? 17:44 - The Hidden Traps Inside the Fine Print 19:37 - Is This the Most Reckless Budget in U.S. History? 20:16 - Your 6–12 Month Survival Playbook 21:43 - How Much Gold and Silver Do You Really Need? 22:48 - Gold vs. Silver: The Ratio You Can't Ignore 23:39 - Mining Stocks: Secret Jackpot or Risky Bet? 24:32 - Wealthion's Golden Nugget: Record Highs, Record Risk: What's Driving the S&P?

Filmmakers Peter Yost & Michael Rohatyn discuss Drop Dead City, their doc on NYC's 1975 fiscal crisis—marked by cuts, lost ideals & a near default. Despite federal resistance, a bailout came through taxes, unions & civic resolve.

00;02;30;09 - 00;03;41;11America's Debt Crisis: U.S. credit rating downgraded by Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, signaling a loss of confidence in America's fiscal stability. National debt nears $30 trillion, reflecting a chronic debt addiction rooted in decades of fiscal mismanagement.00;09;32;08 - 00;10;57;12Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": Narrowly passed in the House (215-214), the bill includes tax cuts, no tax on tips/overtime, and border security funding. Critics warn it balloons deficits, lacking fiscal discipline, and mixes popular measures with controversial spending.00;34;20;19 - 00;36;48;05Scott Adams' Cancer Diagnosis: Dilbert creator Scott Adams announces stage 4 prostate cancer and plans assisted suicide. He admits anti-vaxxers were right about COVID shots but denies a link to his cancer.

Lewis Institute): Questions why prayer matters if God is omniscient and omnipotent.

Figures like Brett Weinstein pushed the Emancipation Party, but critics see it as an influence operation steering toward a technological singularity.02;22;38;03 - 02;29;44;06Technocratic Dystopia and Ideological Manipulation: Game B's “sense-making” risks brainwashing, while Dark Enlightenment embraces technocracy. Both aim for a noosphere via internet-driven collective intelligence, using spiral metaphors and AI to erode free will, aligning with globalist visions like the UN's AI World Society.02;29;44;06 - 02;37;38;03Internet of Bio-Nano Things and Smart Cities: The AI World Society pushes smart cities (e.g., C40, Freedom Cities) and human-powered 6G technologies like the Internet of Nano-Bio Things.

A combination of economic stagnation, disinvestment and mismanagement of the city's budget brought New York into a fiscal crisis in 1975 — unlike any it had seen up to that point. The result was shuttered schools and firehouses, mountains of garbage on the streets, and cops being laid off by the thousands. But what happened next is perhaps even more important: the city somehow united to pull itself out of financial and cultural ruin. The story is told in a new documentary called “Drop Dead City.” The film's co-directors, Michael Rohatyn and Peter Yost, joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the movie and this infamous moment in our city's history. The conversation touched on the film's construction, its soundtrack, and the broader themes of governmental responsibilities and the impact on New Yorkers living through the crisis. They also talked about the co-director's father, Felix Rohatyn, who was a pivotal figure in the financial recovery.  Join the conversation, weigh in on Twitter using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.

Economist Dawie Roodt discusses South Africa's worsening fiscal crisis, emphasising the country's unsustainable debt levels, which now hover around 95% of GDP. He explains the ANC's failure to cut spending and its reliance on tax hikes, particularly a VAT increase, as the only way to generate revenue. Roodt warns that this approach risks deepening inequality and triggering social unrest. He also highlights South Africa's vulnerability to external financial pressures, particularly a potential bond market crisis. Roodt urges urgent fiscal reform and strong political leadership to avoid a catastrophic economic collapse and safeguard the country's future.

Maryland faces a growing fiscal crisis, with projections of a nearly $6 billion structural deficit by 2030. This week on the Conduit Street Podcast, our hosts are back to their old tricks, digging into the latest (bad) news about the State's fiscal situation and looking at the road ahead. Where did this shortfall come from - is it the quirky economy, shaky forecasts, or unplanned expenses? (Think: two truths and a lie) And while they lay out the numbers facing the State both in the short term and down the road, they look at the tools that are on the table for decision-makers in the months ahead. Plus, where and how could all this become a county government problem? Listen to the big budgetary breakdown this week!Follow us on Socials!MACo on TwitterMACo on Facebook

E.J. Antoni, PhD, Economist and Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, explains why the Fed's plan to cut interest rates won't solve deeper economic problems—such as runaway government borrowing and record deficits—that threaten American financial stability. He uncovers how the Fed is at loggerheads with the US Treasury, creating a dangerous conflict between monetary and fiscal policy that exacerbates inflation, unemployment, and high credit costs, impacting American households. E.J. joins Wealthion's Andrew Brill as part of our special coverage of the Fed's Federal Open Market Committee this week, highlighting the urgent need for fiscal restraint and coordinated reform to align monetary and fiscal policy and prevent a profound economic crisis.

Now I've heard of a Major Motion Picture...but a Mayor Motion Picture??? Now I'm being carted off to a hospital for having typed that!! Nah, just kidding. We're talking about one of those today: Harold Becker's 1996 not-John-Grisham city politics thriller CITY HALL, on which Paul Schrader was one of four credited writers! Your favorite Pauld Casty boys had a grand old time talking municipal procedure, Al Pacino, Danny Aiello, Donald Manes, David Dinkins, Rudy Giuliani, bongo clubs, and more.

The new projections from the Congressional Budget Office paints a sobering picture of our nation's financial health with the federal budget deficit expected to soar to nearly $2 trillion in 2024. This dramatic surge, driven largely by increased government spending in areas such as student loan forgiveness and Medicaid, underscores the complex challenges of balancing short-term needs with long-term fiscal stability. How can we find a balance between urgent situations and planning for the future? How are these numbers going to affect American citizens moving forward? Emma Camp from Reason joins the show.

News

 In today's 21 News The Outcue S01E09, we update you on the ongoing financial investigation, which started in March in Vienna Township. This small community has been impacted by missing township funds—$1.3 million—leading to layoffs in the emergency services, including police and fire, and township officials working for free. While the state auditor's office is investigating the missing funds, 21 News has also been investigating what is happening. However, this case is complicated. Traditionally, one can make a public record request and see what the money trail shows. Public records are all documents for a village, city, township, state, school district, etc., paid for with taxpayer funds. They can include documents, audio recordings, emails, texts, or instant messages. 21 News Assistant News Director Justin Mitchell, along with anchor/reporter Erin Simonek and Senior Digital Content Manager Robert McFerren, discuss the public documents 21 News requested and received and why, in this case, it may not be as simple as following the money trail. 

Federal budget deficits are projected to remain alarmingly high for many years to come, but as Cato's Ryan Bourne notes, things that can't go on ... don't. His new paper on debt, spending, and fiscal crisis is available today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Buckle up, listeners! We talked so much about Martin Scorsese's landmark 1976 neo-noir nightmare TAXI DRIVER, written by Paul Schrader, that it's gonna be a two-parter. Talk about morbid self-attention! What was the film's production process like? Whose beach house did Scorsese and Schrader hang out at? Why don't discussions of 1970s New York City crime ever talk about root causes? Should someone become a person like other people? How is Jake like both Martin Scorsese AND Drew Carey? All this and more will be answered...but you gotta listen to the episode.

Episode 82 is with Dr. Bryan Caplan, professor of economics at George Mason University and New York Times bestselling author. Today, we discuss: 1) The myth of the rational voter and how politics has become a religion, 2) Why the U.S. is heading toward fiscal crisis because neither party will restrain spending; and 3) Why we need to spend less on education, the pros and cons of school choice, selfish reasons to have more kids, and open borders.

To hear an extended version of this conversation, become a patron at Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod. In this episode Jeremy and Tim are joined by historian and New Yorker Kim Phillips-Fein to discuss a crucial event in the Love is the Message story: the 1975 New York City fiscal crisis. Kim's book ‘Fear City: New York's Fiscal Crisis and the Rise of Austerity Politics' is widely regarded as the definitive text on the matter, so she was the perfect person to talk to, and she brought some great music recommendations to boot. The three discuss both the long- and short-term backdrop to the crisis, charting how the city's unique social democratic municipal system of rent controls, hospitals and education changed across the twentieth century, before examining how the centre of international capital came extremely close to bankruptcy. Kim explains the financial mechanisms which animated the crisis and the political choices that precipitated it. She elucidates President Ford's predicament during the crisis, the effects of ‘white flight', and reminds us that New York was itself an industrial city rapidly de-industrialising.  This being Love is the Message, naturally we also hear about the extraordinary cultural creativity of the time and examine its material causes, including changing democraphics and the transformation of Soho. Finally, Tim Jeremy and Kim consider what happened next, and how the fiscal crisis has been historicised to serve a particular ideology. Kim Phillips-Fein is the Gardiner-Kenneth T. Jackson Professor of History at Columbia University. Her book ‘Fear City: New York's Fiscal Crisis and the Rise of Austerity Politics' was named a finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for History. She is also the author of ‘Invisible Hands: The Making of the Conservative Movement from the New Deal to Reagan'. Tracklist: Television - Venus The Dils - Class War The Rolling Stones - Shattered Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message

When did the American conservative movement begin? Who were its chief protagonists? What were their main motivations? Is the conservative movement a social movement, like any other, or is it something different? Should scholars have "sympathy" for their conservative subjects in order to study them? And are there important distinctions to be drawn between "conservative," "the right," and "the far right?" These are the sorts of questions historians ask each other and themselves. The changing ways they answer them — and the reasons their answers  change — is the subject of today's episode. In other words: we're discussing the historiography of the American right. (Fun!)In a highly influential 1994 essay, historian Alan Brinkley referred to conservatism as "something of an orphan in historical scholarship." By 2011, when our brilliant guest, Kim Phillips-Fein, surveyed the historical literature on conservatism, she found a dynamic, prolific, even "trendy" field, but one with many unsettled methodological debates. In 2017, friend of the pod Rick Perlstein wrote that historians, himself included, had made a mistake, privileging the more respectable and intellectual dimensions of conservatism over the more irrational, rank, and racist. "If Donald Trump is the latest chapter of conservatism's story," Perlstein mused, "might historians have been telling that story wrong?" Since then, several studies and popular books have emerged which correct the record, and take up Perlstein's call to study "conservative history's political surrealists and intellectual embarrassments, its con artists and tribunes of white rage." To start off the year — an election year, no less — we're taking up these questions again. What is the state of the field of conservative studies now? Have historians, popular writers, and/or podcasters over-corrected, in the Trump era, for the mistakes Perlstein cites? What might we be missing this time? We're so very lucky to have long-time friend of the show Kim Phillips-Fein, the Robert Gardiner-Kenneth T. Jackson Professor of History at Columbia University, as our guide. Let's get big picture and take stock. 2024, here we go.  Further Reading:Alan Brinkley, "The Problem of American Conservatism," The American Historical Review, Apr 1994. Kim Phillips Fein, "Conservatism: A State of the Field," The Journal of American History, Dec 2011. — Invisible Hands: The Businessmen's Crusade Against the New Deal (2010)— Fear City: New York's Fiscal Crisis and the Rise of Austerity Politics (2017)Rick Perlstein, "I Thought I Understood the American Right.

In this episode of "High Frequency," host Kapish Singla explores the state of transit funding with Yonah Freemark, senior research associate at the Urban Institute. Based on insights from the recent Urban Institute report, “Surmounting the Fiscal Cliff,” the interview delves into the reasons behind transit's current fiscal cliff,  and the policy choices that have perpetually put transit agency finances on precarious footing. The episode advances sustainable funding solutions that could finally disrupt this vicious cycle of underinvestment, and ensure that the current crisis is transit's last fiscal cliff.“Transit is key to our society, and transit is going to come back from the pandemic at higher ridership levels if we give our transit systems the opportunity to provide the services they need. Transit systems that have invested in improved quality of service have benefited from increased ridership, including higher levels of ridership than pre-pandemic, and a number of systems. We don't have to give up on transit. In fact, we should be thinking about the future as a more transit-heavy future than even before the pandemic.” - Yonah FreemarkTo read “Surmounting the Fiscal Cliff,” click here. To watch a webinar with the report researchers, click here.For more on TransitCenter, visit us here. Hosted by Kapish SinglaEdited by Melanie Marich & Kapish SinglaProduced by TransitCenterMusic: “Comma” - Blue Dot SessionsDisclaimer: Political views raised by guests on the podcast do not reflect the views of TransitCenter.

Lawmakers are proposing a bipartisan fiscal commission to stabilize our nation's debt, but they already know what they need to do. They're just avoiding their responsibility; 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. flies to Salt Lake City to hold a rally; and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger passes away at the age of 100, leaving behind a complicated legacy and reputation. 

The financial trouble the Trudeau Liberals have put Canada in looks disturbingly unlike previous debt and deficit hangovers, as William Robson tells Brian Lilley this week. The losses Ottawa has pushed onto the Bank of Canada are choking off desperately needed income, explains Robson, president and CEO of the C.D. Howe Institute. Wages are losing ground. Business investment indicators are the worst since the 1940s. Unfunded pensions are soaring. Federal spending keeps rising. And the government continues adding enormous immigration inflows to a strained economy. Canada, Robson says, is “going down a very strange path” — and Ottawa seems not to care.

“If you think about how you might get out of this and get to something better, what really matters is the distribution of resources. Who has what? Who holds the wealth? And what are they doing with it? Government borrowing and quantitative easing, this sort of thing, can change some of that, but really when you get down to it, you're going to have to think about how you're going to tax some of that wealth because you need to shift actual resources around. The most effective mechanism we have for doing that is taxation.”Economics is a pretty bizarre field: A social science masquerading as an actual science, economics inflexibly dictates life, relationships, election manifestos and policy despite none of it being set in stone. The beauty of economics is we can radically overhaul our economic systems and institutions to better serve us, rather than being prey to the outputs of a haggard and worn out system. Such a realisation is, though, beyond the imagination of most economic leaders.But there are economists out there working to debunk the myths, cut through the noise, and creating policies which would serve both people and planet. James Meadway—former treasury advisor, member of the Progressive Economy Forum council, and the host of the Macrodose podcast—is one of them. He joins me to discuss the emergency and long-term policies we should implement to navigate the climate crisis, the economic crisis, and to radically overhaul and transition our societies to those which support life over productivity. We discuss some alternative frameworks that are being researched around the world, including de-growth and modern monetary theory, whilst James insists that which needs to be re-evaluated is value itself.Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis—and what to do about it.

The Bronx in the 1970s was a perfect storm of things going wrong in New York City: poor urban planning, white flight, budget cuts to municipal and social services, and discriminatory practices coverged into a pressure cooker -- and the outcome was fiery and devastating. But we can't talk about the Bronx burning without ending on the phoenix that emerged from the rubble: the birth of hip-hop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Love is the Message series 4 continues apace. In this episode Jeremy and TIm continue to examine the dynamic environment of New York City around the 1975 Fiscal Crisis, contrasting pessimistic and optimistic accounts of the time: was the Big Apple a depressed town cut off from the rest of the country, or a city enjoying its own cultural renaissance? Or both? We hear about the early emergence of Neoliberalism, the cybernetic revolution, and the affect and aesthetics of Heroin. Tim and Jeremy introduce some early electronic music outfits, spend time on the singular sound of Suicide, discuss artistic representations of alienation, and introduce us to the downtown 'Loft Jazz' scene.
