AI investment is reshaping the global outlook. In part one of this economic roundtable, our panel explores where the momentum is strongest — and where investment still needs to catch up.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Seth Carpenter: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist and Head of Macro Research. Michael Gapen: And I'm Michael Gapen, Chief U.S. Economist. Chetan Ahya: And I'm Chetan Ahya, Chief Asia Economist. Jens Eisenschmidt: And I'm Jens Eisenschmidt, Chief Europe Economist. Seth Carpenter: And today is going to be our third quarter economic roundtable taking a wide-angle view on the global economy and all the key forces shaping our outlook and the economy. Seth Carpenter: It's Monday, July 20th at 10am in New York Jens Eisenschmidt: And 4pm in Frankfurt. Chetan Ahya: And 10pm in Hong Kong. Seth Carpenter: Since our last roundtable in April, the global economy has continued to face all sorts of shocks, a mix of resilience and friction. Inflation pressures have not disappeared. Energy and geopolitical risks have come up, they've receded, they've come back, they've receded all over the place But there is one underlying source of momentum that we have to talk about. And that is the AI-driven CapEx cycle. Michael, let me turn to you because the U.S. is a real focal point of all of this. Tell me a little bit about where Morgan Stanley Research is thinking about hyperscaler CapEx. How big it is? And then for you, when you think about the U.S. economy, just how big of a driver is it for what we're looking for in the U.S.? Michael Gapen: Yeah, we continue to revise higher our estimates for hyperscaler and AI-related CapEx in the U.S. economy. We were thinking a little over a trillion for 2027. Now we're more like 1.2 - 1.3 trillion, maybe as high as 1.4 trillion in 2028. So, the level of hyperscaler spending continues to keep rising. The growth rate and its effect on the economy is likely to slow. But as you noted, it's still a major driver of momentum in the U.S. You would look at that headline number and think, "Wow, that's, you know, 3.5 percent or so of GDP. Must be a massive source of momentum for GDP growth." But roughly about 60 percent of that hyperscaler CapEx spending goes to items like computers and peripherals, equipment spending categories that have a very, very high import content. We still get a significant number that AI CapEx is probably contributing around 40 basis points to growth this year. Be a similar-sized amount perhaps next year.So, for an economy that's growing somewhere a little bit above 2 percent right now, maybe closer to 2.5 percent next year, that's a non-trivial amount. We just have to remember it's fueling growth around the world, just not here in the U.S. Seth Carpenter: Yeah, that's a really great point because I have seen some estimates where people say, "Well, if it wasn't for AI CapEx, the U.S. economy wouldn't have grown at all." And that's clearly wrong, as you point out. But U.S. imports are necessarily exports from somewhere else. And, Chetan, if I can pull you into the story then, U.S. firms are buying a lot of AI-related equipment from Asia. What does that mean in your part of the world? And in particular, I'm thinking about Korea, Taiwan, and maybe some other economies in Asia. What's the critical story there? Chetan Ahya: So, for Asia, this has definitely been a big boon. If you look at Asia's exports, they have been booming, and particularly for the ones which are exporting semiconductors to the U.S. They are seeing semiconductor exports growing by 90 percent. And when we go back in time and compare Asia's semiconductor exports, it's very tightly linked to the U.S. IT CapEx. And it's not surprising when Mike Gapen mentions about the imports going up. It's on the other side, helping Asia's exports quite meaningfully. So, so far, we've seen this benefiting Korea, number one, Taiwan, and also Japan. All these three are big beneficiaries of U.S. AI CapEx. And of course, also not just U.S., but the other countries which are doing any little amount of CapEx on AI front, that's also helping these three economies in the region. Seth Carpenter: You've been doing a lot of work, Chetan, recently about how much the story can actually broaden out, that the AI CapEx cycle has really contributed to Asian growth, but it doesn't tell the whole story that there's a broader industrial cycle. Can you give us a little bit of a flavor of that story? Chetan Ahya: That's right, Seth. So, we are actually highlighting that there is a CapEx and industrial super cycle that is underway in Asia, and there are four components to this story. AI and semiconductors CapEx, which we just briefly discussed. Number two is energy. Number three is defense. And number four is industrial supply chain onshoring related CapEx. I know that everybody still thinks that AI is the most important part of this story, but when I give you the numbers and the breakup of that... So, for Asia, AI and semiconductor companies CapEx is about $380 billion in 2026, but energy CapEx is going to be $900 billion. So, this is a far broader story than just AI for Asia. Seth Carpenter: Mike, let me come back to you and to the U.S. then. So, isn't the growth story also broader than that as well domestically? So, what's going on in terms of consumer spending in the U.S., and is there a broader CapEx story in the U.S. as well? Michael Gapen: I would say, is it broader than that? I think maybe you could argue also it's narrower than that. Here's what I mean by that. As I noted AI CapEx contributing about 40 basis points to growth, it's certainly underpinning equity valuations in the U.S. and underpinning strong wealth creation. So about [$]180 trillion in household net worth in the U.S. About [$]55 trillion of that has been created in just the last five years alone, underpinned in part by AI-related spending and optimism about future profitability. That's really supported spending by upper income households. So, I think it's both investment-led and consumer-led, but they're inextricably linked. So, the positive for the U.S. is that it's providing a lot of resilience. The negative component of that is it feels like momentum in the U.S. is narrowly driven. Jens Eisenschmidt: Let me maybe jump in here from Europe to provide some perspective from the other side. So, I think it's a fair summary to say that AI investment is not yet, or maybe will never get there, dominating the business cycle. What we do have instead is an unusually consumption-driven expansion. That has to do not so much with an extraordinary strength of consumption, but more of an absence of other factors. Now, prospectively looking forward, we think the fiscal expansion might help lifting us a little bit. And then it is really the debate how much AI investment can arrive in Europe. For now, I would say it's probably a factor of 20 that separates European investment plans from the plans we know that exist for the U.S. Seth Carpenter: Let me stick with you then in Europe because you brought up fiscal as one of the factors going on here and where it's going… You and your team recently wrote a blue paper talking about what the outlook is for fiscal policy in Europe, and in particular, we had this era of cheap debt. Interest rates in Europe were low, at times negative. It was super easy to borrow. Not as much happened then. There's been a shift towards more fiscal expansion at the same time that interest rates have gone up, causing the cost of debt to go up. Feels like there's a lot of push and pull going on. Can you unpack for us a little bit what was in that paper you wrote, what's going on with fiscal policy in Europe, especially in Germany? And what it might mean over time for Euro-area countries? Jens Eisenschmidt: Yeah, so I think fiscal policy in Europe really is looking at a regime shift. So, there is this very famous, probably in the U.S. even more so than here, notion that the Europeans have built a very comfortable welfare state. And that's true if you just look at the accounting from a GDP perspective. It's close to 50 percent that, you know, budgets are actually extended on welfare spending. And now you have three structural headwinds for any type of fiscal spend. So, one is aging related costs, you mentioned it already. Defense spending has to increase significantly, and the interest rate costs will also rise significantly. All of that means there will be very hard choices to be made. The one thing that actually could help here is growth. Growth is the one thing that's, for now at least, missing, at least in comparison to the U.S. It's probably half what we expect, what the U.S. colleagues think is in stake for the U.S., and a quarter or even less than that of what is there in Asia. So, growth is really the key, the solution, the answer to everything in Europe. More growth than just 1 percent, which is potential, would help solving that fiscal challenge. For now, it looks really, really like an uphill battle. Returning to Germany, it's the one country that has a very good fiscal starting position. They are pushing a lot but they're to some extent pushing a string. So, even with the German huge fiscal package, given that private sector investments so far are absent, doesn't get us a ton of growth. Seth Carpenter: Chetan, maybe I'll come back to you before we close part one of this roundtable. The AI CapEx cycle started with AI, broadened out further. How long do you expect this cycle to last? How durable can it be? And how might it compare to previous CapEx cycles? Chetan Ahya: Yeah, Seth. So, we think this will be a multi-year CapEx cycle. And when we are thinking about the duration of the cycle, there are two things that I would keep in mind. Number one is that most of the drivers that we just discussed – the CapEx on AI, energy, defense, and industrial supply chain onshoring related investments – these are all structural drivers. So, we think these are going to continue for some more time. At this point of time, we have the visibility for this cycle to be lasting for three-four more years. And then the second point of framework that I would keep in mind is that the corporate balance sheets are in a pretty good shape. So, when you are thinking about the leverage in the private sector, you can look at both households and the corporate sector balance sheet. But since the cycle is CapEx driven, we are looking at the corporate balance sheets, and they are in a pretty good shape. Across the region, corporate debt to GDP is below where it was in 2019. Seth Carpenter: Mike, let me, let me wrap up quickly with you. We talked about AI, AI CapEx. For now, that's a very strong demand story. When are we going to see a supply side of things coming from AI? Are you already seeing a big contribution to GDP and growth from productivity coming from AI? Michael Gapen: We are, but not outside of the high-tech sectors, and we're seeing limited, what I'll call labor market restructuring of tasks and occupations beyond high AI-exposed occupations. So right now, everything is still very isolated I think maybe as we get into 2029 and beyond, so as Chetan says, we probably have a three to four-year super cycle here around a build-out phase. Then we might see some of that broader-based diffusion to other non-tech sectors in the economy. Seth Carpenter: All right, Jens, for you, let's wrap up here. So, what is the state of play for the build-out in the CapEx cycle for AI in Europe? Jens Eisenschmidt: Yeah, it's very early stages. As I said before, we really; we connected to all the industry experts or analysts covering the sector and the total plans are a factor of 20 below what we see in the U.S. by just the seven hyperscalers. So, I would say very fragmented, very small, in general. Not only AI. I think the one thing I would be looking at for any type of sign of revival, sign of growth is investment. The second would be investment. And you can guess what the third would be… Investments in the core countries. That's really what we need to see, and we haven't seen much in Germany or France on this front. Seth Carpenter:That's a great place for us to stop today. We talked about the real side of the economy, AI, CapEx, trade. Tomorrow we're going to come back, and we'll talk about how that growth outlook affects inflation. And once you start talking about growth and inflation, you got to talk about policy, and that's where we'll be tomorrow. Mike, Jens, and Chetan, thank you for joining today.

Dlaczego w krajach, które zdominowały robotyka i nowoczesne technologie, wciąż tak ważną rolę odgrywają duchy? Czy mitologia chińska i mitologia koreańska to tylko barwne legendy, czy może fundamenty, na których opiera się dzisiejszy azjatycki pragmatyzm? Gośćmi Agnieszki Krzemińskiej w podkaście „Polityka o historii” są Marcin Jacoby (sinolog, znawca kultury Chin) oraz Dominik Rutana (koreanista, badacz szamanizmu). Zastanawiamy się wspólnie, jak Azja Wschodnia łączy świat gigantów technologicznych ze sferą sacrum. Szamanizm, taoizm i buddyzm współistnieją tu w unikalnym amalgamacie wierzeń. W rozmowie ponadto: Chiny i Korea oraz ich fascynująca droga od przeszłości do współczesności. Analizujemy, jak religia w Chinach przetrwała trudne okresy historyczne oraz jak historia Korei Południowej wpłynęła na dzisiejszy obraz tamtejszych wierzeń. Sprawdzamy, na czym polega praca szamanki Mudang, kim są koreańskie gobliny (dokkaebi) i dlaczego Epoka Han jest kluczowa dla zrozumienia ikonografii dawnych bóstw. Jednym z najciekawszych wątków jest obecność magii w codziennym życiu. Dowiecie się, jak wróżbiarstwo, numerologia, feng shui oraz czytanie z twarzy pomagają w podejmowaniu kluczowych decyzji biznesowych i matrymonialnych. Rozmawiamy także o tym, jak medycyna chińska łączy się z troską o energię życiową, oraz dlaczego magia, zabobony i czary wciąż budzą emocje w społeczeństwach nastawionych na sukces. Na koniec sprawdzamy, jak chiny kultura i zwyczaje oraz kultura koreańska podbijają świat poprzez media. Analizujemy, dlaczego koreańskie filmy, popularne gry komputerowe i mroczne obrazy, takie jak film „Ring”, tak chętnie czerpią z lokalnych wierzeń o mściwych duchach kobiet. To rozmowa o zderzeniu tradycji z nowoczesnością i o tym, że w Azji sacrum i profanum to dwie strony tej samej monety. 3 rzeczy, których dowiesz się z odcinka: - Dlaczego pracownik korporacji przed ważną decyzją odwiedza szamankę? - Jak kultura Chin i Korei przemyca dawne bóstwa do współczesnych gier i filmów? - Czym różni się podejście do przodków w konfucjanizmie i szamanizmie?

Marine Corps machine gunner Matthew Dolan survived a massive IED blast in Fallujah, Iraq and that was only one of several moments that nearly killed him.Today's Urban Valor podcast, Matthew shares what it was like serving as an 0331 Marine machine gunner with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines. He discusses deploying to Fallujah, operating as part of a quick reaction force, being shot at by an enemy he could not see, surviving a double-stacked 155mm IED, and becoming trapped inside a military vehicle as it rolled into a river.Yeah… this one gets WILD.Matthew's story isn't only about explosions and close calls.It's about growing up with a younger sister battling cystic fibrosis…Walking into a Marine Corps recruiting office after getting yelled at by his boss…Training under veterans of Operation Phantom Fury…And arriving in a completely blacked-out Fallujah as a 19-year-old kid from Kansas thinking, “What the hell did I get myself into?”Matthew describes the strange reality of fighting insurgents who rarely presented a clear target. One moment, he was searching vehicles and tracking high-value individuals. The next, he was taking sniper fire, responding to indirect fire or driving roads known for improvised explosive devices.Then came the blast.Matthew's vehicle was the fourth to cross an IED buried beneath the road. The first three vehicles passed over it without detonating the device.His didn't.The explosion cracked the vehicle's axle, tore away part of the Humvee and knocked Matthew unconscious. His fellow Marines pulled him from the vehicle, strapped him to a stretcher and rushed him to medical treatment.What happened inside the medical bay somehow became one of the funniest...and most unfiltered...IED survival stories we've ever heard.

Asia's AI-fueled market rally has created huge winners — but also growing risks. In this episode, Merryn Somerset Webb speaks with Invesco fund manager Fiona Yang about why Korea's AI boom has become increasingly volatile, where she's still finding value in China and India and why the next generation of winners may be the companies using AI rather than building it.Join us in Edinburgh for Fringe Festival! https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/the-butcher-the-brewer-the-baker-and-merryn-somerset-webbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do Koreans eat hot chicken soup on the hottest days of the year? In this episode, you'll learn about Boknal (복날), Korea's traditional summer days, the meaning of Iyeol Chiyeol (이열치열), and why Samgyetang has become the famous summer dish. This episode is perfect for Korean learners who want to understand Korean culture while improving their listening skills.한국의 복날, 왜 여름에 뜨거운 음식을 먹을까요?안녕하세요. 한국어와 한국 문화를 사랑하는 여러분 여니쌤입니다.
여러분은 더운 여름에 뜨거운 음식을 먹어본 적이 있나요?
보통은 여름이면 시원한 음식을 먹고 싶죠 냉면이나 빙수, 아이스크림 같은 음식이 생각납니다.
그런데 한국에는 아주 더운 여름날에 일부러 뜨거운 음식을 먹는 전통이 있습니다.
바로 복날입니다. 오늘은 한국의 복날에 대해 이야기를 해보려고 해요.
먼저 복날이 무엇인지 알아볼까요? 복날은 여름 중에서도 가장 더운 시기를 말합니다.
초복, 중복, 말복 이렇게 세 번이 있어요. 매번 날짜는 조금씩 다르지만 보통 7월과 8월 사이에 있습니다.
2026년 올해에는 초복이 7월 15일, 중복이 7월 25일, 말복이 8월 14일입니다. 이 시기를 한국에서는 삼복 더위라고 해요. 정말 덥고 습해서 밖에서 잠깐만 걸어도 땀이 많이 나는 시기예요.
그런데 왜 이렇게 더운 날에 뜨거운 음식을 먹을까요?
한국에는 이열치열이라는 말이 있어요. 열은 열로 다스린다라는 뜻이에요.
더운 여름에 더운 음식을 먹고 몸의 기운을 보충하고 여름을 건강하게 보내자는 의미가 담겨 있습니다.
오랫동안 이어져 온 한국의 전통 문화예요. 복날 하면 가장 먼저 떠오르는 음식은 바로 삼계탕입니다.
삼계탕은 닭 안에 찹쌀, 마늘, 대추, 인삼 등을 넣고 오래 끓인 음식입니다.
국물도 진하고 몸이 따뜻해지는 느낌이 들어서 많은 사람들이 좋아해요.
복날이 되면 유명한 삼계탕집에는 긴 줄이 생기기도 합니다.
가족이나 친구와 함께 삼계탕을 먹으면서 건강하게 여름을 보내기를 바랍니다.
사실 요즘에는 복날을 꼭 챙기지 않는 사람도 많아요.
특히 젊은 사람들은 그냥 맛있는 음식 먹으면 되지 왜 더운 날 더운 음식을 먹어라고 생각하기도 해요.
그래서 냉면이나 햄버거를 먹는 사람도 있고 그냥 평소와 똑같이 식사하는 사람도 많습니다.
하지만 뉴스에서는 매년 봄날이 되면 삼계탕 이야기와 닭고기 가격 이야기가 나오고 식당들도 복날 특별 메뉴를 준비합니다.그래서 복날은 여전히 한국의 여름을 대표하는 문화 가운데 하나라고 할 수 있을 것 같아요.여러분의 나라에도 여름에 특별히 먹는 음식이 있나요?
아니면 건강을 위해 계절마다 먹는 음식이 있나요?
댓글로 여러분의 이야기를 들려주세요. 오늘도 제 팟캐스트를 들어주셔서 감사합니다.
다음 시간에 또 만나요. 안녕.

Southeast Asia's venture market is not in a downturn. It is in a structural winter, and mid-2026 is when that distinction stopped being academic. Kristie Neo returns to break down what is actually happening across the region: Singapore's IPO revival is real but is being carried by data centres and REITs rather than homegrown tech; allocators now rank Southeast Asia at the bottom of Asia behind China, India, Japan, Korea and ANZ; and a generation of growth-stage companies is being kept alive past the point where a merger or a wind-down would have served everyone better. Jeremy Au and Kristie also work through what could actually restart the funding ladder, from encouraging tech M&A and fixing university IP commercialisation, to tax incentives for angels and support for syndicate leads who can assemble the $1 million to $5 million rounds that Singapore currently cannot fill. If you are a founder raising in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand or Malaysia, or an LP trying to work out where capital goes next in Asia, this is the honest state of the market.

In 2026, the competitive advantage in AI will no longer come from model speed or scale—it will come from trust. As Southeast Asia and Korea accelerate enterprise AI adoption amid fragmented regulatory landscapes (from Singapore's FEAT to Korea's AI Basic Act), the CIO's mandate has shifted from deployment to defense. “AI integrity”—the convergence of data provenance, bias mitigation, explainability, and ethical resilience—is now a board-level risk. For heads of compliance and data science, the question is no longer “Can we scale AI?” but “Can we certify its integrity?” Without it, you face regulatory fines, model drift, and reputational collapse.  In this PodChats for FutureCIO, we are joined by Lee Anstiss, Regional Director, Southeast Asia and Korea at Infoblox, to hopefully get insights and tips on how to safeguard AI integrity.1.       Do Asia's CIOs and CISOs know exactly which AI models are running across all our business units—or is shadow AI already creating integrity risks we cannot see?2.       Given the fragmented state of each model's regulatory status, what options are there for CIOs as they navigate fragmented rules with fragmented data?3.       In your view, are enterprises in Asia prioritizing raw accuracy over an “integrity scorecard” that includes bias, explainability, and robustness—and if so, are CIOs trusting models that are fast but not fair?4.       Based on current technologies and practices, can CIOs trace every piece of training data, including synthetic data, back to its source? Do organisations have blind spots where hidden bias or poisoned inputs could enter?5.       Can CIOs test their production AI for bias against local languages and cultural norms in each market? Can they produce an audit trail for any regulator who asks?6.       If a regulator demands proof of real-time bias disclosure tomorrow, is there a way for enterprises to have automated logs mapped to specific legal articles?7.       Should organisations maintain a human-in-the-loop for high-stakes decisions, with override logs that feed back into retraining? How risky is using the discipline of oversight as a checkbox?8.       Our topic is “tips on how to safeguard AI integrity” Can you share some of the most common or practical tips for CIOs, heads of AI, for ensuring or safeguarding AI integrity.

South Korea has the best performing stock market in the world for the second year running — and it's also in the middle of one of the worst bear markets on earth. The KOSPI is down around 27% from its June peak, more than 1.2 million retail accounts have been hit with margin calls, and hundreds of thousands of Korean investors have been wiped out entirely. But this isn't a story about meme stocks or worthless companies. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are enormously profitable businesses at the center of the global AI boom, and the traders buying them were right about the trend. In this video I look at how a national stock index became a two-stock bet on artificial intelligence, how single-stock leveraged ETFs turned ordinary volatility into a mechanical feedback loop, why Korea's retail "ants" took on so much leverage in the first place, and what Victor Haghani's famous biased-coin experiment tells us about how you can be completely right about a market and still lose everything.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

In this episode of CounterPunch Radio, Rebecca Maria Goldschmidt speaks with Seungjoon Lee, a maritime activist and filmmaker based on Jeju Island. Having recently returned from attempting to break the siege on Gaza with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and being kidnapped by the IOF in international waters, Lee shares his thoughts on the radical possibilities for future maritime direct action. They discuss the current situation on Jeju, where activist communities continue their struggle against militarization and development in Korea, including the world’s fourth-largest weapons company, Hanwha, known as the “Lockheed Martin of Asia.” Seungjoon emphasizes the necessity of an activist practice grounded in the spirituality of place and relationality, and the possibilities in centering water as a collective strategy for our movements. The post Sailing To You: On the Possibilities for Maritime Direct Action w/ Seungjoon Lee appeared first on CounterPunch.org.

Funny how it works — the same week the Silicon Forest lands federal funding worth up to $160 million, the stuff that actually holds a community together is getting quietly built at street level. A machinist in Gresham shipping an AI tool for the shop floor, Latino Founders taking out a 15,000-square-foot building downtown for the entrepreneurs who chose to stay, a Pendleton drone accelerator opening a pipeline clear across the Pacific to Korea. The headline number is great — but honestly, it's the ground game that's got me fired up this week.LINKSOregon FAST wins NSF Innovation Engine award — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/16/its-a-semiconductor-fast-oregon-consortium-wins-nsf-innovation-engine-award/Oregon State University (announcement) — https://news.oregonstate.edu/news/oregon-team-nearly-100-partners-awarded-nsf-regional-innovation-engine-award-set-receive-160By a machinist for machinists: Swarf — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/15/by-a-machinist-for-machinists-ai-enabled-cnc/Swarf — https://swarf.app/landing/Latino Founders preps a new home: Founders Hub — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/16/latino-founders-preps-a-new-home-founders-hub-center-for-innovation-and-entrepreneurship/Latino Founders — https://www.latinofounder.com/Oregon UAS Accelerator partners with Korea Investment Accelerator — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/16/oregon-uas-accelerator-partners-with-korea-investment-accelerator/Oregon UAS Accelerator (apply by Jul 19) — https://hub.oregonuas.org/applyBend Venture Conference 2026 opens applications — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/14/bend-venture-conference-2026-opens-applications-for-startups/Bend Venture Conference — https://www.bendvc.com/Chain React 2026: Putting yourself out there — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/07/15/chain-react-2026-putting-yourself-out-there/

So richtig will es niemand spielen und trotzdem steht heute noch das Spiel um Platz drei bei dieser Weltmeisterschaft an. Frankreich und England treffen nach ihren Halbfinal-Niederlagen aufeinander und wollen sich zumindest mit einem Erfolgserlebnis von diesem Turnier verabschieden.Für Frankreich endet mit der Partie eine Ära: Nationaltrainer Didier Deschamps steht zum letzten Mal an der Seitenlinie der „Équipe Tricolore“. Nach mehr als einem Jahrzehnt und zahlreichen Erfolgen hofft der Weltmeistertrainer von 2018 auf einen gelungenen Abschied.Auch auf englischer Seite steht viel auf dem Spiel. Nach dem Halbfinal-Aus gegen Argentinien steht Thomas Tuchel massiv in der Kritik. Ein Sieg im kleinen Finale könnte deshalb nicht nur für einen versöhnlichen Abschluss sorgen, sondern auch seine wackelige Position als Nationaltrainer stärken.Außerdem sprechen Anne und Jens über die geplante XXL-Halbzeitshow beim Finale zwischen Spanien und Argentinien morgen. Während die FIFA auf ein spektakuläres Event setzt, sorgt die verlängerte Pause im Vorfeld bereits für Diskussionen.Wie immer begleiten wir euch durch den WM-Tag – mit den spannendsten Geschichten und den größten Themen rund um das Turnier.

This week on Undressed, we sit down with the stunning, outspoken and unapologetically honest Katie Ginella from The Real Housewives of Orange County, and absolutely nothing is off limits. Between Pol' running out to rescue SnowWhite90210 from the groomers and our first sips of Armenian coffee, Katie wastes no time pulling back the curtain on what really happens behind the Housewives cameras. Katie takes us all the way back to how she landed on RHOC after years of being pursued by casting through her husband's connections in the sports world. She opens up about becoming the very first Asian-American Housewife in Orange County history and the enormous responsibility she felt representing Korean adoptees and the Asian community on such a massive platform. We dive into her fascinating career before reality television, from modeling and sports broadcasting to launching her alcohol brand and her new podcast, Bravo's Most Wanted. The conversation quickly turns juicy as Katie reveals the shocking realities of filming Housewives. She tells us that what she expected to be “real life” turned out to be anything but, describing producer influence, cast politics, strict contracts, surprise bonus deductions, and even being prevented from attending off-camera events and fashion shows. Katie shares how her friendship with Gina began through Sutton Stracke, why she believes the women ultimately banded together against her, and why she felt she was unfairly painted as the villain. We get the inside scoop on the Housewives machine, including group chats, casting decisions, behind-the-scenes drama, and Katie's candid thoughts on Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Emily Simpson, Vicki Gunvalson and newcomer Carmela. Katie even predicts that Season 20 could mark the end of RHOC as we know it. The tea gets even hotter when Katie opens up about the infamous lie-detector storyline, revealing that it took place in Emily's closet and sharing why she believes viewers eventually saw through the narrative. She also dishes on Bravo contracts, the restrictions placed on cast members, losing money after appearing on Jeff Lewis Live, and why some Housewives may be far wealthier—or far less wealthy—than audiences think. Beyond the drama, Katie gives us a deeply personal look into her life away from television. She talks about her happy marriage, raising a blended family, navigating adoption, her hopes of finally meeting her birth mother in Korea, and the emotional toll that reality TV can take on real families. She shares stories about her husband Matt, their life in Orange County, and why strong relationships survive reality television while weak ones crack under the pressure. We also veer into everything from Ozempic and Hollywood body culture to golf reporting, modeling, Anderson Cooper crushes, and the delicate politics of friendships inside the Bravo universe. Along the way, Katie delivers some of the sharpest one-liners we've ever heard, joking that there have been “186 Housewives and 185 narcissists.” As the Armenian coffee settles, Katie reflects on what she would do differently if she ever returned to Housewives, whether she could forgive old castmates, and why authenticity—not manufactured drama—is what reality television desperately needs. Equal parts hilarious, emotional and jaw-dropping, The Interview is packed with behind-the-scenes secrets Bravo fans have been waiting to hear.

In the Haute Seat, our unforgettable conversation with Katie Ginella delivers everything Bravo fans could ask for: shocking Housewives revelations, celebrity encounters, fashion critiques, and some of the funniest moments we've had in the studio. We kick things off diving into Katie's obsession with RuPaul and the impact that RuPaul's Drag Race has had on generations of people who simply wanted to feel accepted. We swap stories about attending the very first RuPaul's Drag Race premiere party, where RuPaul himself was hilariously denied entry because he wasn't in drag and had forgotten his ID. From Lady Bunny to backstage moments at Drag Race, Katie gushes over the icon who changed the world for millions. Naturally, the conversation spirals into pop culture, with Madonna's legendary habit of showing up hours late to concerts, George Michael becoming Katie's nine-year-old son's newest obsession, and Katie sharing details about her new podcast, Bravo's Most Wanted, which she launched after initially developing a different show with Monica Garcia from Salt Lake City before teaming up with Jamie Rice. We also reveal that years before Modern Family, Bravo passed on our own pilot, Designer Family, because executives didn't believe audiences were ready to watch two gay men raising a teenage daughter in Beverly Hills. Looking back now, it feels unbelievable. Katie gets candid about how reality television affected her children, revealing that her daughter received death threats after being targeted online and that filming RHOC took an emotional toll on the entire family. We also get the inside scoop on Kylie auditioning for Love Island and whether Katie's kids would ever join a “Next Gen OC.” Then comes one of the biggest bombshells of the episode: we reveal that we were among the very first people to witness the beginnings of Scandoval while filming Scheana Shay's wedding in Cancun. We recount seeing Tom Schwartz kiss Raquel Leviss on camera before later spotting Tom Sandoval kissing her off camera—long before the scandal exploded across the Bravo universe. Katie is left absolutely stunned by the story. The Housewives tea continues as Katie opens up about her biggest regrets from Orange County, admitting that she wishes she had stood up for herself more instead of trying to keep the peace. She addresses misconceptions that she is a liar, talks about the difference between “show friends” and “real friends,” and explains why she believes much of modern reality television has become performative. The mood shifts when SnowWhite90210 finally returns from the groomer and instantly steals the spotlight. Between puppy talk, frozen dog sperm, and plans for Mochi's future puppies, things take a hilariously unexpected turn. Katie also opens up about one of the most emotional chapters of her life: being adopted from Korea as a baby. She shares her complicated feelings about eventually meeting her birth mother, revealing that she simply wants to thank the woman who gave her a chance at the life she has today. We discuss identity, belonging, and the deep love Katie found with her husband Matt after surviving an allegedly abusive first marriage. As we head into Runway Rundown, Katie weighs in on the latest RHOC cast photos, revealing her favorite looks from Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Vicki Gunvalson while hilariously critiquing the gowns worn by Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jen Pedranti, and newcomer Carmella GarciaPol' gives his expert couture opinions, breaking down why quality and custom tailoring matter at every age. Throughout the episode, Katie remains refreshingly honest about the realities of Housewives fame, the friendships she misses, the betrayals she still struggles with, and whether she would ever return to RHOC. Between RuPaul, Madonna, Ariana Madix, Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss, Sutton Stracke, Vicki Gunvalson, and SnowWhite90210, the Haute Seat is packed with unforgettable moments and enough Bravo tea to keep fans talking until her Armenian coffee reading.

Korea 24 is a daily current affairs show that covers all the biggest stories coming out of South Korea. Every weekday, Korea 24 brings you the latest news updates, as well as in-depth analysis on the most important issues with experts and special guests, providing comprehensive insight into the events on the peninsula.

RenMac breaks down the vicious unwind in the momentum trade, why a low headline VIX is masking the highest single-stock dispersion the team has ever measured, and how a cooler CPI print does little to stop the Fed conversation from tilting toward a September hike, with inflation, not growth, now owning the reaction function. The team also discusses rising Strait of Hormuz tensions and elevated oil, a looming 25% Brazil tariff, Korea's AI-driven rate hike, yen intervention risk, and the Washington theater around Fed leadership and congressional stock-trading rules.

The market's most crowded trade is beginning to crack, but where the fallout spreads next remains unclear. This week, we dig into the violent momentum unwind and mounting pressure across the AI trade. We explore the damage of leveraged ETFs, Korea's retail reckoning, a potential value revival, renewed Iran oil risks, and why Quinn is bullish real estate in the right places. Enjoy! TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 02:01 The Momentum Trade Unravels 06:22 Leveraged ETFs Are Breaking Markets 12:07 Has The AI Boom Hit Its Limits? 16:05 Cheap Models Threatening The AI Trade 19:52 Hyperscalers Facing A Credit Squeeze 23:27 The Fed's Forward Guidance Failure 29:38 Global Carry Trade Risk? 35:29 Can Value Finally Win? 40:44 Iran Reignites Oil Risk 48:00 Housing Policy Vs Property Rights FOLLOW THE SHOW › Forward Guidance – https://x.com/ForwardGuidance › Felix – https://x.com/fejau_inc › Quinn – https://x.com/qthomp › Tyler – https://x.com/Tyler_Neville › Telegram – https://t.me/+CAoZQpC-i6BjYTEx › Blockworks – https://x.com/Blockworks RESOURCES › Weekly Roundup Charts – https://drive.google.com/file/d/17yRksHxeO19PfW6MOCrzT_OpEwicKuog/view?usp=drive_link EVENTS › Join us at Digital Asset Summit 2026 Asia October 7th & Digital Asset 2026 London November 10-11th https://blockworks.com/events DISCLAIMER Nothing said on Forward Guidance is a recommendation to buy or sell securities or tokens.

Europe comes back into focus ahead of the ECB and UK data, with a spotlight also on Korea and the "AI trade". For Europe, we look ahead to the ECB rate decision, preview UK inflation and labour market data, and discuss UK politics. In the US, we debate Fed Chair Warsh's recent comments and the latest soft inflation prints. In Asia, the focus is on Korea, the latest monetary policy decision and the impact of the AI/tech sector on the economy. Chapters: Europe: 01:51; US: 07:38; Korea: 14:00; Rest of Asia: 22:18.

On this week's episode of the Korea Pro Podcast, John and Joon Ha discuss President Lee Jae Myung's new economic growth strategy for the second half of 2026, including his push for the state to play a much more active role as an investor in South Korea's future industries. They also break down the Bank of Korea's decision to raise the base rate to 2.75%, as inflation, rising energy prices, household debt and a weak won continue to create financial stability concerns. The episode then turns to the Lee administration's proposal to merge South Korea's three main military academies into a single institution, a plan the government says would improve jointness and modernize officer education.  John and Joon Ha also revisit South Korea's defense export ambitions after Hanwha Ocean's loss in Canada's submarine procurement competition, looking at how Seoul is shifting attention to Southeast Asian markets such as Thailand and the Philippines as it seeks to become one of the world's top arms exporters. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Managing Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, delivering deep, clear analysis of South Korean politics, diplomacy, security, society and technology for professionals who need more than headlines.

Katie Ginella is back and we close out the week with one of our favorite traditions: the Armenian coffee reading. What starts as a fun conversation quickly turns into an incredibly personal and surprisingly moving experience as Katie opens up about identity, family, friendship, and what comes next after her whirlwind journey through reality television. As Pol' studies Katie's coffee grounds, he immediately sees three major trips in her future—including a life-changing journey that will completely alter her perspective. While Katie initially thinks of upcoming trips to Montana, New York, and her tenth wedding anniversary getaway with husband Matt Ginella, the conversation takes a profound turn when Korea enters the picture. Pol predicts that one trip, in particular, will transform her emotionally, giving her a stronger foundation and helping her finally feel grounded in a way she never has before. Katie becomes emotional as the reading shifts toward her adoption story. She reveals that her birth name was Junghwa, which means “pure,” and is stunned to discover that her adoptive name, Katie, carries the same meaning. Together, we unravel the possibility that the connection between the two names may hold a deeper significance than anyone realized. Pol encourages Katie to trace the history of her birth name and believes that understanding its origins may unlock answers she has been searching for her entire life. For the first time, Katie shares intimate details about her biological mother, who was only fifteen years old when she gave birth and worked in a factory until the day Katie was born. She explains that she has her birth mother's name, birthday, and even a heartfelt letter that was included with her adoption papers. Katie also reveals that both her biological mother and foster mother in Korea have expressed interest in meeting her, leaving her with the final decision about whether to take that monumental step. In one of the most jaw-dropping moments of the episode, Katie reveals that another medium told her nearly the exact same thing six months earlier—that traveling to Korea would not only change her life, but also profoundly impact the life of her daughter. As the pieces begin to fall into place, it becomes clear that this isn't simply a vacation; it could be the emotional journey Katie has been searching for all along. The conversation deepens as Katie reflects on feeling stuck at a crossroads. After spending her twenties and thirties raising children and supporting her family, she admits that she's now trying to discover what her next chapter will look like. Though she previously built a successful career in the golf and fashion industries, Katie confesses that she isn't chasing money anymore—she's searching for fulfillment, purpose, and something meaningful to leave behind. We also revisit the heartbreak surrounding her friendship with Jen Pedranti. Katie candidly shares how deeply hurt she still feels, explaining that the pain went far beyond television storylines and extended into their real lives and families. She reflects on loyalty, betrayal, and the difficulty of understanding how someone you trusted could turn away from you. As the coffee reading continues, Pol' delivers one final message: Katie has spent much of her life helping others cross the street while forgetting to cross it herself. The reading challenges her to stop rescuing everyone around her and instead focus on her own happiness, ambitions, and voice. Katie immediately connects the message to a recent situation involving her son's friend, who had been living with her family for weeks before they realized they were enabling him. By the end of the episode, Katie leaves with a renewed sense of purpose and a challenge to finally put herself first. Between revelations about Korea, emotional reflections on family, conversations about legacy and identity, and one unforgettable Armenian coffee reading, this becomes less about Housewives drama and more about discovering who Katie Ginella truly is away from the cameras. The episode closes with Katie describing herself as “beautiful, fulfilled, and a little emotional”—the perfect ending to an extraordinary conversation.

Vince Makela enlisted in the U.S. Army while he was still in high school. After basic training, he specialized in communications and dreamed of flight school. When that dream didn't come true, Makela set his sights on another impressive goal - becoming a Green Beret.Several years later, he found himself in one of the first American units to set foot in Afghanistan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) 595 not only achieved amazing results, but the men also became widely known as the "Horse Soldiers."In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Makela takes us from basic training to a very meaningful early deployment to Korea. He also walks us through selection and qualifying for U.S. Army Special Forces and his vivid memories of 9/11.From there, Makela explains how ODA 595 was quickly ordered to prepare for deployment and draw up plans for its operation in Afghanistan. You'll also hear how no one in the unit was expecting to become a horse soldier and how they adapted rather quickly to the mission.Finally, Makela tells about the part of that mission that he still considers the highlight of his military career.

If Part 1 was about who the Basque people are, Part 2 is about how they celebrate. Edgar Carranza is back to walk us through the food and drink culture that comes alive at Basque festivals — including kalimotxo, a drink with an origin story that genuinely made me lose it, and the bocata tradition that feeds the cuadrillas who show up every year for their town festivities.We also get into the great Basque cheesecake conversation — where it comes from, why Bilbao has feelings about San Sebastián getting all the credit, and what makes that burnt, creamy, slightly chaotic cake so different from anything else. From there, Edgar explains txoko gastronomic societies: private spaces where Basques have been gathering to cook, eat, and preserve their culinary traditions for generations — and why they might be part of the reason the Basque Country has more Michelin stars per capita than anywhere else in the world.This one ends with big feelings about food, home, and what it means to eat somewhere that is truly yours.

Morse Tan is a freedom-fighter who served as ambassador-at-large for Global Criminal Justice during the first Trump administration. Today, he is effectively a political prisoner in South Korea.  Amb. Tan has long spoken truth to power. In particular, he has warned about the lengths to which the Republic of Korea's radical leftists have subverted freedom and elections. He's even courageously done so in South Korea.  Now that the hard Left is fully in power in Seoul under a Communist named Lee Jae-myung, the Ambassador has been prevented from leaving South Korea for over five weeks. That is outrageous. When Lee visited Washington last year, President Trump declined to criticize him over myriad, serious concerns about his guest's decades of anti-American activism. It's high time Mr. Trump let Lee know his present mistreatment of Amb. Tan is utterly unacceptable. This is Frank Gaffney.

Jacob sits down with J Mintzmyer of Value Investors Edge for a shipping deep-dive (but of course it's a geopolitics lesson in disguise). Mintzmyer argues the industry has barely changed in eleven years, most of the efficiency gains, double hulls, eco-designed vessels, LNG boil-off fixes, were locked in over a decade ago, leaving only regulation to move the needle. The two dig into why the US lost shipbuilding to Japan, Korea, and now China, how the Jones Act complicates the picture, and why America's real shot at relevance lies in owning and financing vessels, not building them.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Welcome and Setup(01:20) - Meet J Mintzmyer(02:38) - Shipping for Dummies(06:24) - How Shipping Demand Works(08:30) - Has Shipping Changed(16:48) - US Shipbuilding Decline(26:14) - Tonnage Tax Loophole(27:15) - Make US Shipping Competitive(27:54) - Finance Incentives Not Sanctions(28:56) - Why US Shipbuilding Lags(31:31) - China Shipbuilding Dominance(44:36) - Automation And Future Innovation--Referenced in the Show:Twitter: https://x.com/mintzmyerWebsite: www.vieresearch.comBox book: https://www.amazon.com/Box-Shipping-Container-Smaller-Economy/dp/0691170819Chinese automated shipyard (video): https://youtu.be/RXr03aRF_p8?si=1cjIBZaFeTTqhutD--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Stalin's Strategic Shift and the Path to the Korean War GUEST: Nick Bunker Throughout 1949, Stalin was skeptical of Kim Il-sung's plan to invade South Korea, doubting North Korea's capability and the strategic rationale. However, in January 1950, Stalin abruptly authorized the planning of the attack. This shift was fueled by several factors: his newfound confidence in Mao as an ally and the perception that the United States would not intervene. Stalin interpreted Dean Acheson's "defensive perimeter" speech and the congressional defeat of the Korean aid bill as signals of American withdrawal from the peninsula. Furthermore, Stalin saw Korea as strategically vital for securing the Soviet Far East and strengthening communist states in Asia. While Washington remained largely oblivious to these plans, Stalin benefited from an abundance of intelligence gathered simply by reading American newspapers, which were filled with leaks about the "confusion" and "dissension" within the Truman administration.
