EPISODE DESCRIPTION The media spent years calling conservatives and Trump supporters Nazis. Now they're facing an uncomfortable reality: a Democrat Senate candidate in Maine is under fire for a tattoo linked to the Nazi SS and concentration camp guards. Tara and Roger break down the growing controversy surrounding Graham Plattner, CNN's shifting coverage, and Paul Krugman's controversial call for a "denazification" of the Republican Party. The conversation examines media narratives, political hypocrisy, and the fallout from weaponizing Nazi comparisons in modern politics. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show focused on two major controversies colliding at the same time. First, Tara and Roger discussed comments from New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who argued that America may need a "denazification" process similar to post-World War II Germany. The hosts criticized the comparison and argued that conservatives are being unfairly labeled as extremists simply because of political disagreements. The second half of the discussion centered on Democrat Senate candidate Graham Plattner of Maine and allegations surrounding a tattoo identified as the SS Totenkopf, a symbol associated with Nazi concentration camp guards. Tara argued that media outlets previously reported the controversy extensively but are now minimizing it as Plattner gains support among Democrat primary voters. The hosts examined CNN coverage, discussed accusations of media double standards, and argued that political rhetoric surrounding Nazism has become increasingly inconsistent. They also highlighted Plattner's past associations with socialist activism and statements regarding armed political movements. Throughout the episode, Tara and Roger maintained that the controversy exposes what they view as hypocrisy within mainstream media and Democratic political circles. KEY TALKING POINTS Paul Krugman suggests a "denazification" effort aimed at MAGA Republicans. Debate over comparisons between modern political opponents and Nazi Germany. Graham Plattner controversy dominates political discussion. Questions surrounding the SS Totenkopf tattoo and its historical significance. CNN coverage of Plattner's past comments and tattoo history. Allegations of media double standards when discussing extremism. Discussion of Plattner's reported connections to socialist activist organizations. Examination of political rhetoric and its consequences. Growing concerns about polarization in American politics. The impact of extremist labels in modern campaigns. SEO KEYWORDS Paul Krugman, Graham Plattner, Maine Senate race, CNN controversy, Nazi tattoo controversy, Totenkopf tattoo, Democrat primary, political hypocrisy, media bias, MAGA Republicans, denazification comments, Tara Servatius, conservative podcast, political news, Maine politics, SS symbol controversy, political extremism, CNN coverage, New York Times opinion, American politics

EPISODE DESCRIPTION For years, conservatives have been labeled extremists, fascists, and Nazis by political opponents and media commentators. Now, a growing controversy surrounding a Democrat Senate candidate in Maine has created a major political headache for the left. Tara and Roger examine the media's response, discuss accusations of hypocrisy, and break down why this story is becoming increasingly difficult for national Democrats to ignore. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show focused on what Tara described as a dangerous escalation in political rhetoric and a growing controversy surrounding Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Plattner. The discussion began with criticism of recent comments from columnist Paul Krugman, who referenced post-World War II "denazification" efforts while discussing the future of the Republican Party and the MAGA movement. Tara argued that comparisons between modern political opponents and Nazi Germany are becoming increasingly common and carry serious consequences. The conversation then shifted to the ongoing controversy involving Plattner, whose past includes a tattoo identified as the SS Totenkopf, a symbol historically associated with Nazi concentration camp guards. Tara argued that media organizations previously reported extensively on the tattoo and related comments but are now minimizing the issue as Plattner gains support among Democrat voters. The hosts highlighted reports that Plattner had previously acknowledged the tattoo's meaning and criticized media figures for characterizing the controversy as a youthful mistake despite evidence suggesting otherwise. They also discussed additional allegations involving personal conduct and campaign transparency. Throughout the episode, Tara and Roger argued that the controversy exposes what they see as a double standard in how political extremism is discussed and covered by mainstream media outlets. KEY TALKING POINTS Debate over "denazification" rhetoric in American politics. Concerns about escalating political language and polarization. Growing scrutiny of Democrat Senate candidate Graham Plattner. Controversy surrounding the SS Totenkopf tattoo. Questions regarding media coverage and changing narratives. CNN reporting and archive references discussed on-air. Additional controversies involving Plattner's campaign. Political hypocrisy and double-standard accusations. The role of opposition research in modern campaigns. How extremist labels affect political discourse. QUOTE OF THE DAY "The people who spent years calling everyone else Nazis are now struggling to explain why their own voters are supporting a candidate with a Nazi-linked tattoo." SEO KEYWORDS Graham Plattner, Maine Senate race, Nazi tattoo controversy, Totenkopf tattoo, Paul Krugman, denazification comments, CNN coverage, media hypocrisy, political double standards, Democrat primary, political extremism, Tara Servatius, conservative talk radio, current events, Maine politics, campaign controversy, mainstream media, political commentary, breaking political news

EPISODE DESCRIPTION A packed show covering two major political firestorms. Tara examines growing criticism of media coverage surrounding a controversial Maine Senate candidate while also diving deep into South Carolina's governor's race after Donald Trump's endorsement dramatically altered the political landscape. From accusations of media hypocrisy to claims of political machine tactics in Columbia, today's broadcast tackles some of the biggest political stories developing right now. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show opened with discussion surrounding comments from columnist Paul Krugman and broader debate over political rhetoric involving comparisons to Nazi Germany and "denazification" language. The conversation then focused heavily on Maine Senate candidate Graham Plattner and ongoing controversy surrounding reports about a Totenkopf tattoo, allegations regarding his past conduct, and criticism of how national media outlets have covered the story. Tara argued that media organizations are facing accusations of inconsistency after years of aggressively applying extremist labels in political coverage. The second half of the show shifted to South Carolina politics and the increasingly contentious governor's race. Tara criticized Lieutenant Governor Pam Evette for skipping a gubernatorial debate and examined the impact of Donald Trump's endorsement on the race. She also raised questions about redistricting decisions, legislative strategy, and what she described as the continued influence of South Carolina's long-standing political establishment. The program concluded with a discussion about political leadership, government accountability, and cultural issues, including recent actions by Tennessee and Indiana recognizing June as Nuclear Family Month. KEY TALKING POINTS Paul Krugman's comments on "denazification" spark controversy. Debate over political rhetoric and historical comparisons. Maine Senate candidate Graham Plattner controversy continues. Questions surrounding media coverage and accountability. Allegations of double standards in reporting political extremism. Donald Trump's endorsement reshapes South Carolina governor's race. Pam Evette criticized for missing debate appearances. Redistricting controversy and congressional seat debate. Examination of South Carolina's political establishment. Discussion of family values initiatives in Tennessee and Indiana. Concerns over government accountability and leadership. Impact of endorsements on primary elections. QUOTE OF THE DAY "If this is how the political machine operates before the election, what happens if it gets another four years?" SEO KEYWORDS Trump endorsement, South Carolina governor race, Pam Evette, Henry McMaster, South Carolina politics, Graham Plattner, Maine Senate race, political controversy, media bias, political machine, gubernatorial election, Donald Trump, conservative talk radio, Tara Servatius, redistricting debate, political accountability, current events, breaking political news, governor debate, political commentary

Aan tafel deze week: Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Tom Berendsen, burgemeester van Nijmegen Hubert Bruls, Nobelprijswinnaar Paul Krugman, en sociaal wetenschapper Michelle Rasch. Presentatie: Maaike Schoon. Wil je meer weten over de gasten in Buitenhof? Op onze website vind je meer informatie. Daar kan je deze aflevering ook terugkijken en je vindt er natuurlijk nog veel meer gesprekken: https://bit.ly/buitenhof-24-mei-26 Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Tom Berendsen was deze week in Zweden op een NAVO-bijeenkomst.  Met zijn 31 collega-ministers sprak hij over hoe het verder moet met de alliantie, nu het belangrijkste lid Amerika herhaaldelijk stelt de NAVO te willen verlaten. Is de breuk met de Verenigde Staten nog te lijmen en hoe dan? Nobelprijswinnaar Paul Krugman is met tientallen nieuwsbrieven per week, podcasts en interviews nog altijd één van de meest productieve economen van deze tijd. Ook is hij een van de belangrijkste criticasters van president Donald Trump. Hoe kijkt hij tegen de situatie in de Verenigde Staten aan en hoe ernstig is de groeiende kloof tussen arm en rijk. Hubert Bruls is burgemeester van Nijmegen. Hij is opgeroepen als getuige bij de parlemntaire enquete over Corona die volgende week van start gaat. Zijn er overeenkomsten tussen de protesten van toen en de rellen van nu? Deze week werd bekend dat de extreme pornosite Motherless opnieuw in de lucht is, een paar dagen nadat het Openbaar Ministerie de site offline had gehaald. De ophef is groot, de site staat namelijk bekend om de grote hoeveelheid ‘drogeerporno': video's waarin bewusteloze vrouwen verkracht worden. Normaliseert zo'n site dit gedrag? En wat kunnen we hiertegen doen? We gaan het erover hebben met Michelle Rasch, sociaal wetenschapper, gespecialiseerd in het gedrag van plegers van online misbruik.

Er is weer een nieuwe aflevering van Europa Draait Door en wat een bijzondere gast hebben we deze week. In een live opname vanuit Pakhuis de Zwijger spreken Tim en Arend Jan met niemand minder dan Nobelprijswinnaar Paul Krugman. Hij ziet hoe Trump met zijn oorlog tegen Iran de wereldeconomie ontregelt, hoe beloftes over lagere boodschappenprijzen volledig in duigen vallen en hoe de Republikeinen het Hongaarse draaiboek van Orbán rechtstreeks kopiëren om de midterms te winnen. Wat moet Europa doen nu Amerika afglijdt? En waarom is hij ondanks alles tóch hoopvoller dan een jaar geleden? Verder deze aflevering de Oekraïense drones die op NAVO-grondgebied terechtkomen. 

“The end of labor means the end of paid slavery. And the opening up of freedom — that is to say, choice of how to spend your time. The only question, a big question, is how do you eat?” — Keith Teare Does capitalism have a future in our AI age? For Musk, Silicon Valley's baddest bad entrepreneur, the answer might surprise. Musk seems to think that in the long run, money and wealth will disappear in an age of abundant intelligence. Which, presumably, will include hundreds of billions of his own dollars. Although given Musk's determination to sue and take money from OpenAI, some might be slightly sceptical of his real faith in a post-money cornucopia. It's not just Musk and That Was the Week publisher Keith Teare who are reimagining capitalism in our AI age. The former World Bank chief economist, Branko Milanovic, drawing on Karl Marx and Adam Smith in equal measure, argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, things will become free — thereby creating the conditions for the destruction of capitalism. Keith agrees — and goes further than Milanovic. The end of paid labor, he insists, borrowing also from Marx, is not a catastrophe. It's the end of what he calls “paid slavery” and the opening of genuine freedom. I'm not so sure. If nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. The cult of the amateur. The future is of bad entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and even worse artists. Hyper-capitalism in our age of AI. Five Takeaways •       The Musk-OpenAI Trial: A Big Yawn That Cost Millions: An Oakland jury rejected Elon Musk's claim against OpenAI in under two hours — not because OpenAI didn't do what Musk alleged, but because the statute of limitations had expired. Someone should have caught this before two weeks of trial. Musk has vowed to appeal, but it's hard to see how you get around a statute of limitations. Keith's verdict: sideshow, big yawn, ego contest. The lawyers won. The real question — who owns OpenAI after it converts to for-profit — was never going to be answered here. •       Sam Altman's Credibility Problem: The New York Times took five takeaways from the trial, one of which was that Sam Altman has a credibility problem. Keith's response: not new information. What the trial did reveal is the depth of mutual animosity between Musk and Altman — two people who, despite everything, share more beliefs about where AI is going than almost anyone else in the world. Keith on who he'd back in a Stalin vs Hitler choice: Stalin, 100 times out of 100. Which is not to say he's enthusiastic about either. •       Krugman on Europe: Right Analysis, Wrong Conclusion: Paul Krugman, touring Europe, argues that GDP per capita understates European quality of life. A third of US income buys more than a third of US lifestyle in Europe — healthcare, education, travel, housing are all significantly cheaper. Keith agrees with the analysis. His counter: Europe's structural hostility to innovation means it can maintain its lifestyle but not grow it. The social democratic model is sustainable until it isn't. It needs to unlock innovation or it will slowly fall behind. Hard to do when you're spending your time writing regulations. •       Milanovic's AI Thesis: When Things Are Free: Branko Milanovic — Marxist and neoclassical economist — argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, value in the classical Adam Smith/Ricardo/Marx sense disappears, and things approach free. Keith agrees and goes further: this isn't just Marxist logic, it's classical economics. The organic composition of capital. If variable capital — mostly labor — tends toward zero, costs tend toward zero, prices tend toward zero, and the distinction between capitalism and its opposite dissolves. Musk says the same thing. Agree or disagree, it's the most interesting economic argument of our time. •       The End of Paid Labor Is the End of Paid Slavery: Keith's most provocative position. The end of paid labor is not something to fear. It is freedom — the opening up of genuine choice about how to spend your time. What remains are human-to-human activities: care work, travel companionship, live music, the masseur. These will be in demand. They just won't constitute most of what 8 billion people do. The question of how the previously employed population participates in society — eats, lives, has purpose — is real and large. Keith's position: it's not an inconceivable problem. Andrew's counter: if nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter.

For decades, marketers have debated one question:How much frequency is enough?But what if the industry has been arguing about two completely different things the entire time?In Part 2 of this Sharp Cut series, Marc Binkley and Vassilis Douros revisit the reach vs frequency debate after a wave of listener feedback challenged, refined, and strengthened the original episode. What emerges is a far more nuanced framework built around one critical distinction: burst frequency vs drip frequency.Drawing on work from Byron Sharp, Les Binet, Hermann Ebbinghaus, Stu Carr, Dale Harrison, Paul Hindle, and real-world incrementality testing from industry practitioners, this episode breaks down:Why frequency is not one thingThe difference between burst and drip frequencyHow memory actually works in advertisingWhy brands quietly lose effectiveness when they go darkThe hidden risks of streaming frequency capsWhy low frequency can appear more effective than it really isThe three real jobs of frequency: building, refreshing, and activatingWhy impressions and average frequency often mislead marketersHow last-click attribution continues to distort decision makingThe planning mistakes quietly wasting media budgets todayThis episode reframes one of marketing's oldest debates through the lens of memory, incrementality, and effectiveness.Because the real question was never reach versus frequency.It was burst versus drip.Chapters00:00 - Introduction to Comfort Blankets in Advertising03:40 - Understanding Memory in Advertising08:05 - Building and Refreshing Memory Structures10:08 - The Impact of Streaming on Frequency13:50 - The Three Jobs of Advertising20:38 - Measurement Challenges in AdvertisingOriginal LinkedIn Post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7453434962604691457/Special thanks to all those who inspired this follow-up episode:Stu Carr, Dale Harrison, Paul Hindle and Dennis A.ResourcesBinet, L.

Economists like to think of their discipline as a rational science. But might we make better decisions if we ditched some of our moral aversions? Specifically: would we make better choices if we learned to conquer moral repugnance? Alvin Roth, Nobel laureate, and author of the recent book ‘Moral Economics', tells host Soumaya Keynes why a free market in kidneys and surrogacy makes economic sense, and what he makes of prediction markets.The inaugural FT Weekend Festival in New York City is fast approaching, with a line-up featuring Paul Krugman, Martin Wolf, Gillian Tett, and plenty more.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the latest recession indicator as Home Depot sees a 25% drop in share value from its record high. Similarly, in 2007, Home Depot saw a 23% drop from all time highs leading into a historic market crash which in many ways still continues to this day. The recession never ended in 2008. It has only been papered over. Still, on an official level, as we see Home Depot indicators, their main competition is also falling fast with countless locations closed. As President Trump recently claimed the markets were way up on Thursday and gas prices were down, the exact opposite was true. The Dow was down and the gas prices were up. We are being delivered doublethink. Markets have been dangerously bubbled for nearly 2 decades. The market manipulation is blatant. Banks are collapsing and larger banks are buying up the smaller ones as a type of amalgamation which represents the digital monopolies to come. Gary Shilling who predicted the 2008 recession is also alerting the public that we are seeing an imminent disaster ahead once again. As we get information on so-called "UFO Files," never forget that Paul Krugman once said, if we want to stimulate the economy, the government should fake an alien invasion. Perhaps the government was listening too closely. As people struggle to afford food and housing, BlackRock continues to buy up everything, the Strait of Hormuz closure is devastating an already scarce food and oil market, money printing has caused devastating inflation and banks are bankrupt. Where does that leave us in 5 years? Actually, where does that leave us in 1 year? Prepare yourself. The reset is being constructed before our eyes. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Between the Iran war, high gas prices, and wobbly jobs numbers, central bankers have plenty to worry about. But some see a light on the horizon: artificial intelligence. AI could lead to abundant production and lower prices, allowing the Fed to lower interest rates, and boost the economy – or so the theory goes. But how will we know if AI is boosting productivity? And what happens if the AI advocates promising an economic transformation are wrong? Soumaya is joined by Austan Goolsbee, head of the Chicago Federal Reserve, to discuss these questions and more. Soumaya and Austan also analyse how Fed chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, might change the central bank; and how Austan feels about Jay Powell's plans to stick around.The inaugural FT Weekend Festival in New York City is fast approaching, with a line-up featuring Paul Krugman, Martin Wolf, Gillian Tett, and plenty more.

In today's episode, economist Paul Krugman lays out an expansive case that Donald Trump holds a losing hand in the war with Iran. Krugman argues that Trump can't seem to admit that the Strait of Hormuz problem has cornered him. Krugman also details why the situation could get worse, if Iran continues holding out and constraints on oil supply drive the global economy into recession. As Krugman puts it, this will keep getting uglier for Trump until he “swallows his pride” and accepts that he doesn't hold the cards. This builds on the piece Krugman posted on his Substack arguing that time is on Iran's side. Gas prices just hit a new high, and Republicans quietly fear their midterm prospects are darkening due to what Trump has unleashed. Krugman takes us through these dynamics, notes that Trump is obsessing over his ballroom in search of a win, and explains why this all could tailspin further for the GOP.

Vast sums of money was traded before President Trump's now famous attempt to announce an Iran peace deal on Monday. The speculation was that those with prior knowledge had capitalised by insider trading.

What truly defines the vibe of a workplace, and how do leaders intentionally shape the emotional tone of an organization? ✨ In this episode, Kristi Skutvik sits down with Kit Krugman to explore how leadership, self-awareness, and intentional design influence the culture and energy within teams. Kit shares how her career journey, early exposure to leadership, and experiences working alongside executive teams shaped her perspective on power, responsibility, and the signals leaders send through everyday actions. They discuss why leaders must be deeply aware of the tone they set, how hiring complementary strengths creates stronger teams, and how thoughtful design of hybrid work and collaboration can transform the way organizations function. This conversation offers practical insight into how leaders can build cultures rooted in clarity, trust, and intentional growth while creating environments where people feel empowered to contribute and thrive.   Additional Resources: Follow Kit on LinkedIn Visit Foursquare's website Check out Kit's book Subscribe to Kristi's YouTube for more Vibecast content!

While Washington has become more hostile to globalization, Americans continue to buy foreign goods in record numbers. Lincicome notes that economic nationalism is “about an inch deep,” with support collapsing when Americans face higher prices for domestic products. The conversation also explores the impact of tariffs on businesses and consumers. Lincicome explains that if certain tariffs are ruled illegal, companies could seek refunds totaling up to $175 billion, potentially through litigation rather than administrative action. Krugman emphasizes that while policy debates grab headlines, public perception and midterm politics may ultimately matter more than the details of trade law or corporate strategy. From the immediate fallout of legal challenges to the broader question of how the U.S. navigates trade and globalization, Bremmer, Lincicome, and Krugman explore the delicate balance between politics, policy, and the economy—and what it could mean for American consumers, businesses, and the upcoming midterms.

“They're both naughty boys in the playground, leveraging the absence of clarity to their own advantage. Neither one of them is an authoritative leader of opinion with the interests of everyone at heart.” — Keith TeareWhat a difference a week makes. Last Saturday, Keith Teare was arguing that Anthropic was wrong to push back against the US government's use of AI in warfare. This week his editorial is entitled “No Good Guys.” He's used AI to put images of Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Pete Hegseth around the same table—and found all three guilty of poor leadership. According to Keith, Amodei is “ideologically” (whatever that means) driven. Altman is commercially driven and Hegseth is just following orders. None of them is asking the all-important questions about AI policy. And the man who should be—Trump's AI czar David Sacks—is absent-without-leave. All four should be court martialed.Yes, a lot has happened in seven days. Altman publicly supported Amodei's position on surveillance and autonomous weapons—then pulled a classic Sam u-turn and signed a contract with the Department of War. Amodei's internal memo was leaked to The Information, revealing that he'd interpreted the government's “no unlawful use” language as meaning there is no law. And the US military used Claude in the Iran war anyway. As Keith puts it: they're all naughty boys in the playground, leveraging the gaps to their own self-advantage.The only problem, of course, is that this isn't a playground game. And that these men are all shaping the lives (and deaths) of countless people around the world.Meanwhile, Om Malik's “Post of the Week” offers a devastating contrast between Xi's China and Trump's America. China, Om argues, has published a five-year AI plan built on open-source software and bottom-up adoption. America, in contrast, has AI theater. No strategy, no policy, no leadership—just contracts, leaks, and perpetual spin. Then there's the Startup of the Week, Jobright, which hit $5 million in annual revenue with nine people, suggesting that the companies of the future may not need humans at all. Keith's own SignalRank has four people and claims to be going public. We seem to be heading for post-human companies before we've figured out who's managing the humans.Maybe we should court martial everyone. What a difference a week makes. Five Takeaways•       No Good Guys: Keith Teare's editorial puts Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Pete Hegseth in the same room—and finds all three guilty of bad leadership. Amodei is ideologically driven, Altman is commercially driven, and Hegseth is just doing his job. None of them is asking the big questions about AI policy. The real culprit may be the invisible AI czar, David Sacks.•       Altman Said One Thing, Then Did Another: Last week Altman publicly supported Amodei's position on surveillance and autonomous weapons. This week he signed a contract with the Department of War. The contract uses “no unlawful use” language—which, as Amodei's leaked memo points out, effectively means there is no law.•       The US Used Claude in Iran Anyway: Despite the very public dispute between Anthropic and the government, the US military used Claude in the Iran operation. The government doesn't need your permission to use your product. It just needs an API key and a credit card.•       China Has a Plan. America Has Theater: Om Malik's “Post of the Week” contrasts China's published five-year AI strategy—built on open-source software and bottom-up adoption—with America's complete absence of AI policy. The Chinese approach is more inclusive and practical than anything coming out of Washington or Silicon Valley.•       The Future Company Has Nine Employees: Startup of the week Jobright hit $5 million in annual recurring revenue with just nine people. Keith's own company, SignalRank, has four people and is going public. The implication: the companies of the future will be run mostly by software agents, not humans. We're heading for post-human companies. About the GuestKeith Teare is the publisher of That Was The Week, founder and CEO of SignalRank, and a recurring sparring partner on Keen On America.

Donald Trump's top trade adviser, Peter Navarro, just offered an extraordinary statement on Fox News. He admitted that we should lower our expectations for job creation because of Trump's success in removing immigrants from the country. In essence, Navarro suggested it was a good thing to have lower jobs numbers provided the (supposed) cause is higher deportations, and confirmed that removing immigrants isn't creating jobs for Americans. We think this provides an opening to explore what MAGA economics is really trying to accomplish. So we talked to economist Paul Krugman, author of an illuminating piece on his excellent Substack that takes apart Trump's immigration agenda. He explains how Navarro wrecked a core scam that Trump has long peddled about immigrants, how this undermines the most basic story MAGA tells about the economy, and how Democrats can seize on the failure of that story to tell a better one of their own.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ------ In this episode, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman and I discuss how a strong US economy, high asset valuations, and rapid AI adoption are sitting in uneasy tension. We explore what past technology cycles can teach us, why safety nets struggle to address disruption, and where genuine optimism still makes sense. This is a January 2025 rerun, which remains strikingly relevant today. We covered: (01:09) State of the US economy (02:28) "That end of 1999 feeling" (05:08) Insights and lessons from the dotcom bubble (09:57) Why today's market is different (13:44) Understanding AI's role in labor displacement (16:05) Are LLMs "souped-up autocorrect"? (20:14) How job displacement erodes communities (23:40) 2025's looming threat of tariffs (26:16) AI's surprising impact on globalization (30:15) Can markets address inequality? (33:06) The maximum level of sustainable national debt (36:31) When should the Fed raise interest rates? (38:57) The need to revitalize local economies (44:53) Did Paul's 2025 predictions come true? ------ Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem Production by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Chantal Smith and Marija Gavrilov.

Original air date: July 30, 2025 You've probably heard that President Trump and the European Union have reached a ⁠big trade deal⁠. This is being widely portrayed as a “win” for Trump and a big humiliation for the EU. But it's not at all clear what we gain as a country from this deal. Surely the phrase “Trump won” has to mean more than, “Trump gets to claim a personal victory and the media is required to play along,” right? We talked to economist Paul Krugman, who has a ⁠great new piece⁠ on ⁠his Substack⁠ casting a lot of much-needed skepticism on the deal. Krugman explains in extensive detail what a sham it is: He argues that Europe's concessions are fake, that the deal won't spur a lot more manufacturing in the U.S., and that its burden will fall heavily on MAGA, making it a “scam on his voters.” Krugman also discusses why the media seems incapable of reporting clearly and accurately on the magnitude of Trump's incompetence and delusions.  Learn more about your ad choices.
