Podcast appearances and mentions of Larry Fink

I am going to cover the Iran war a bit today but save the deeper dive until tomorrow when I have John Willis and Nicole Sauce on with me.   Still it will be my lead story and I will cover it for about 20 minutes.  We will then move on to a segment on the probably of collapse of civilizations and how many characteristics the US is currently showing. We will also briefly touch on “protesting as a profession”, the fact that Larry Fink just called for a global digital currency at the WEF and more. Join Me Today to … Continue reading →

Skilled trades are becoming one of the most important — and overlooked — drivers of the global infrastructure boom. As trillions of dollars flow into energy systems, transportation networks, telecoms, and AI data centers, the constraint is no longer just capital — it's labor. The scale of the infrastructure buildout is historic, but delivering it depends on the availability of trained workers.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Claire Chamberlain, Global Head of Social Impact and President of the BlackRock Foundation, and Sandra Lawson, Managing Director in Global Corporate Affairs, to explore why skilled trades are central to the next phase of infrastructure investing. With an estimated $85 trillion in global infrastructure investment needed over the next 15 years, demand for electricians, HVAC technicians, grid specialists and plumbers is accelerating.Claire and Sandra explain how apprenticeship-based career pathways offer paid training, competitive wages, and the prospect of long-term financial stability — while also highlighting the growing supply-demand imbalance in the labor market. The conversation explores how philanthropy, employers, unions, schools, and policymakers can work together to expand training capacity and modernize workforce development. As megaforces like AI and infrastructure reshape capital markets, human capital will be just as critical as financial capital in determining long-term economic success.Key moments:00:00 Introduction and meet the guests02:13 WWhat the $85 trillion infrastructure opportunity means for labor markets03:54 Why AI and infrastructure are increasing demand for specialized workers04:45 Why Are These Skilled Jobs Good Jobs?07:15 Training Pipeline Worker Shortage08:43 Philanthropy as Catalyst For The Infrastructure Skilled Trades Requirement10:41 What success looks like for workforce development in an infrastructure-driven economy12:56 Rethinking Going to College vs Apprenticeships and Skilled Trades15:25 How collaboration among employers, unions schools, and philanthropy can expand training capacity17:19 Wrap Up and DisclosureSkilled trades, infrastructure investing, workforce development, capital markets, AI infrastructure, megaforces, economic growth, energy transitionSources: “On the record: Infrastructure and the opportunity in skilled trades”, BlackRock 2026Written Disclosures In Episode Description:This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Powering AI 2.0 is no longer just a technology story — it's an energy and infrastructure story reshaping capital markets and the global economy. As artificial intelligence scales from training to real-world inference, electricity demand is accelerating at a pace few anticipated.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Will Su from BlackRock's Fundamental Equities Group to examine how Powering AI 2.0 is transforming utilities, natural gas markets, renewables, and nuclear power. With data centers expanding rapidly and gigawatt-scale facilities coming online, the AI build-out is driving a structural shift in U.S. electricity demand after more than a decade of stagnation.Will explains why the energy sector sits at the center of AI investing. From the rise of “bring your own power” models to the growing role of natural gas as a dispatchable, scalable fuel source, the infrastructure required to support AI represents one of the largest capital investment cycles in modern history. The conversation also explores renewables, battery storage, and nuclear power — including the limits of restarts and the long timeline for new reactor construction.Key moments:00:00 Introduction Power Is Knowledge: AI's Exponential Energy Appetite02:31 From Tokens to ‘Yottaflops': Why Smarter Models Need More Electricity05:04 Training LLMs vs. Inference: The Next Wave of AI Power Demand06:45 Data Centers at City Scale: How Big Is the Load?11:15 Bring Your Own Power (BYOP): Why Natural Gas Is Back in Focus16:04 Renewables Reality Check: Solar Momentum, Wind Headwinds, and Batteries19:14 Nuclear's Comeback - Restarts Now, New Builds Later21:26 Can AI Beat Humans at Investing?

If AI can replace junior lawyers overnight, what does that mean for your portfolio tomorrow? In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, with guest Arun Pai, Associate Partner, Monk’s Hill Ventures we unpack how an AI model from Anthropic is unsettling legal firms and deepening the AI scare trade across tech markets. Why did billions evaporate in a single session - was it panic, or a recognition that business models are being rewritten? We explore whether value now lies in proprietary data, ecosystem dominance, or AI infrastructure control.In Asia, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani and Larry Fink of BlackRock are urging Indians to pivot from gold into domestic equities - could this fuel a 1990s-style retail boom? We assess India’s growth outlook and whether capital rotation signals explosive expansion ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thematic investing is increasingly shaping how investors interpret markets heading into 2026, as artificial intelligence, geopolitical fragmentation, and infrastructure constraints intersect across the global economy.Jay Jacobs, Head of U.S. Equity ETFs at BlackRock, joins Oscar to discuss why mega forces are becoming harder to ignore—and harder to diversify away from—than in past market cycles. Their conversation explores how AI investing is evolving from a growth narrative into one focused on usage intensity, how national security considerations are reshaping the definition of defense, and why physical infrastructure is emerging as a critical market constraint.Key insights include:· Why thematic investing is gaining relevance alongside sector and style frameworks· How AI usage intensity reframes the AI investment conversation· Where infrastructure and energy constraints may influence adoption timelines· How geopolitical fragmentation is expanding the definition of defense· Why overlapping mega forces may shape market outcomes into 2026Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction to Thematic Investing in 2026: AI and Market Forces00:40 The Rise of Thematic Investing01:43 Deep Dive into AI's Market Impact05:22 Understanding Token Consumption07:55 Evaluating AI Investments11:12 Geopolitical Fragmentation and Defense13:51 Infrastructure's Evolving Role16:42 Future of AI and Broader Implications18:38 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Thematic investing, AI investing, Capital markets, Infrastructure, Megaforces, Stock market trends, Geopolitical fragmentation, Defense spendingSources: iShares Thematic Outlook, 2026This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

En este episodio entramos en un mundo distópico pero que ahora ya es real: redes sociales donde los humanos no pueden interactuar, porque está destinada sólo a agentes de IA, Plataformas donde la IA postea trabajos para alquilar humanos que intercedan por ellas en el mundo real... parece Skynet, pero no lo es. Está pasando ahora. Y todo esto, enmarcado por reflexiones de los líderes de opinión como Larry Fink, que nos dan las pistas y su visión sobre cómo debería ser el futuro de la infraestructura de la inteligencia artificial. Y tú, ¿alquilarías tu cuerpo a un agente de IA?

Retirement planning is becoming more complex as careers grow less linear, lifespans extend, and financial decisions start earlier in life. From early-career savers to small business owners and those approaching retirement, people are asking how to build financial security while staying flexible in an unpredictable world.In this Ask Me Anything episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Jaime Magyera, Head of BlackRock's U.S. Wealth Advisory and Retirement Businesses, to answer listener-submitted questions on retirement realities. Jaime shares perspectives drawn from her work with individual savers, financial advisors, and small business owners across the country.The conversation reframes retirement as the freedom to choose what comes next, rather than a fixed end point. Jaime discusses the importance of starting early, maintaining discipline through market cycles, and building plans that can adapt as careers, families, and goals evolve. The episode also explores the role of professional advice, the challenges facing non-traditional career paths, and why preparation — not prediction — is central to long-term financial resilience.Key insights include:• Why retirement is best viewed as a transition, not a destination• How starting early and staying invested can shape long-term outcomes• Why flexible planning matters for non-linear careers and families• What advisors should consider when working with small business owners• How professional advice differs from social and digital guidance• Why preparedness and emergency savings support financial resilienceKey moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction to The Bid00:50 Meet Jamie Magyera: Insights on Retirement Planning01:48 Transitioning into Retirement: Key Considerations04:05 Financial Planning for Younger Generations06:41 Non-Traditional Retirement Timelines09:56 Advisors and Small Business Owners: Planning for the Future12:45 How To Build Long-Term Client Relationships15:33 The Value of Professional Financial Advice17:28 Conclusion and Key Takeaways18:16 Closing Remarks and Up Nextretirement planning, financial security, wealth planning, capital markets, long-term investing,Sources: BlackRock's Read On Retirement Survey, September 2025This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Vidal califica el Foro de Davos como una reunión despótica y no democrática de magnates globales que buscan ordenar el mundo a su capricho (0:22). Explica cómo el poder financiero de entidades como BlackRock supera al de la mayoría de las naciones, permitiéndoles influir enormemente en la política y la economía mundiales (3:23). También aborda la postura de Donald Trump frente a la agenda globalista, sugiriendo que busca sustituirla por un proyecto imperial estadounidense (10:00). Además, discute cómo el Consejo de Paz propuesto por Trump intenta crear una ONU paralela para supervisar la paz global, con él mismo como figura central (20:41). A continuación, los puntos claves del análisis: El Foro de Davos y la Agenda Globalista. • Naturaleza del Foro: Vidal describe a Davos como un ente "autodesignado" y poco democrático, compuesto por magnates y fondos de inversión que buscan ordenar el mundo según sus intereses [00:26] • Poder de BlackRock: Destaca que el foro está liderado actualmente por Larry Fink, jefe de BlackRock, un fondo que gestiona más dinero que el presupuesto de casi cualquier nación, lo que le otorga un poder político y social inmenso sobre estados como España [03:23], [04:14]. • Reposicionamiento: Ante el regreso de Donald Trump, los líderes de Davos intentan adaptar su discurso para mantener su influencia mientras se acomodan a la nueva realidad política de EE. UU. [01:41]. Donald Trump y su Proyecto Imperial • Choque de visiones: Trump representa un desafío a la agenda globalista tradicional en temas como la ideología de género y la soberanía nacional [07:43]. • "Matonismo Político": Vidal critica la postura de Trump hacia el libre mercado, señalando que utiliza amenazas de aranceles (como a Canadá) para controlar con quién comercian sus aliados, lo cual considera la negación de la economía de mercado [10:13], [10:52]. • Consejo de Paz de Trump: Analiza la propuesta de Trump de crear una suerte de "ONU paralela" o consejo de paz donde él sería presidente vitalicio y los países participantes deberían pagar cuotas millonarias para pertenecer [24:54], [26:34]. Figuras Políticas e Influencia Corporativa • Javier Milei: Vidal expresa preocupación por la política de Milei en Argentina, sugiriendo que su discurso sobre la explotación de recursos naturales podría facilitar el saqueo de las riquezas del país por parte de multinacionales [05:40], [06:18]. • Control de la Información: Menciona el poder de empresas como Palantir y las grandes tecnológicas, que bajo el pretexto de defender las instituciones, terminan imponiendo una censura creciente y un discurso oficial uniforme [11:51], [16:45]. Reflexión Final Finalmente, el análisis subraya el inmenso poder de las grandes tecnológicas y el complejo militar-industrial (11:51), concluyendo que el establecimiento de un sistema único mundial es difícil, aunque la agenda globalista ha avanzado mucho en Occidente (30:08). Vidal concluye cuestionando las teorías sobre un "Nuevo Orden Mundial" único, señalando que el mundo es un tablero diversificado con múltiples fuentes de poder en conflicto [29:50]. Desde una perspectiva bíblica, hace un llamado a los cristianos a no perder el tiempo en especulaciones sobre "señales de los tiempos" y enfocarse en ser "testigos de Jesús" y "sal y luz" en la sociedad.

Puedes ver el video completo aquí: https://youtu.be/tw4Stc31-lM En este vidéo, César Vidal analiza las implicaciones del reciente encuentro anual del Foro de Davos y su relación con la política de Donald Trump, así como el papel de grandes fondos de inversión y corporaciones tecnológicas en la gobernanza global. Vidal califica el Foro de Davos como una reunión despótica y no democrática de magnates globales que buscan ordenar el mundo a su capricho (0:22). Explica cómo el poder financiero de entidades como BlackRock supera al de la mayoría de las naciones, permitiéndoles influir enormemente en la política y la economía mundiales (3:23). También aborda la postura de Donald Trump frente a la agenda globalista, sugiriendo que busca sustituirla por un proyecto imperial estadounidense (10:00). Además, discute cómo el Consejo de Paz propuesto por Trump intenta crear una ONU paralela para supervisar la paz global, con él mismo como figura central (20:41). A continuación, los puntos claves del análisis: El Foro de Davos y la Agenda Globalista. • Naturaleza del Foro: Vidal describe a Davos como un ente "autodesignado" y poco democrático, compuesto por magnates y fondos de inversión que buscan ordenar el mundo según sus intereses [00:26] • Poder de BlackRock: Destaca que el foro está liderado actualmente por Larry Fink, jefe de BlackRock, un fondo que gestiona más dinero que el presupuesto de casi cualquier nación, lo que le otorga un poder político y social inmenso sobre estados como España [03:23], [04:14]. • Reposicionamiento: Ante el regreso de Donald Trump, los líderes de Davos intentan adaptar su discurso para mantener su influencia mientras se acomodan a la nueva realidad política de EE. UU. [01:41]. Donald Trump y su Proyecto Imperial • Choque de visiones: Trump representa un desafío a la agenda globalista tradicional en temas como la ideología de género y la soberanía nacional [07:43]. • "Matonismo Político": Vidal critica la postura de Trump hacia el libre mercado, señalando que utiliza amenazas de aranceles (como a Canadá) para controlar con quién comercian sus aliados, lo cual considera la negación de la economía de mercado [10:13], [10:52]. • Consejo de Paz de Trump: Analiza la propuesta de Trump de crear una suerte de "ONU paralela" o consejo de paz donde él sería presidente vitalicio y los países participantes deberían pagar cuotas millonarias para pertenecer [24:54], [26:34]. Figuras Políticas e Influencia Corporativa • Javier Milei: Vidal expresa preocupación por la política de Milei en Argentina, sugiriendo que su discurso sobre la explotación de recursos naturales podría facilitar el saqueo de las riquezas del país por parte de multinacionales [05:40], [06:18]. • Control de la Información: Menciona el poder de empresas como Palantir y las grandes tecnológicas, que bajo el pretexto de defender las instituciones, terminan imponiendo una censura creciente y un discurso oficial uniforme [11:51], [16:45]. Reflexión Final Finalmente, el análisis subraya el inmenso poder de las grandes tecnológicas y el complejo militar-industrial (11:51), concluyendo que el establecimiento de un sistema único mundial es difícil, aunque la agenda globalista ha avanzado mucho en Occidente (30:08). Vidal concluye cuestionando las teorías sobre un "Nuevo Orden Mundial" único, señalando que el mundo es un tablero diversificado con múltiples fuentes de poder en conflicto [29:50]. Desde una perspectiva bíblica, hace un llamado a los cristianos a no perder el tiempo en especulaciones sobre "señales de los tiempos" y enfocarse en ser "testigos de Jesús" y "sal y luz" en la sociedad.

Nick Deluliis is a Director on the CNX Board and an author, bringing decades of experience to the discussion. On his website, he cites WSJ reporting and notes that the mainstream media (MSM) is letting the American Public down. He also raises some compelling points about how this can play out.With Bill Gates admitting we are not going to die from "Climate Crisis" to Larry Fink admitting at Davos that we need stable power, when will the MSM follow these stories? Is it up to the podcasts?Connect with Nick on his LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-deiuliis/1. Concerns about biased and inaccurate energy news reporting:The host and guest discuss how energy news reporting, particularly in outlets like the Wall Street Journal, often fails to provide objective, fact-based coverage. They cite the "Gell-Mann amnesia effect" where readers trust the reporting on topics they are unfamiliar with, even when the reporting on the guest's area of expertise (energy) contains significant flaws and omissions.2. The challenges of transitioning the energy grid to renewable sources:The transcript explores how the push for large-scale adoption of wind and solar power has led to "manufactured inefficiencies" in energy systems. The guests argue that intermittent renewable sources are not viable replacements for reliable baseload power from fossil fuels and nuclear, resulting in grid instability and higher costs for consumers.3. The importance of rational, fact-based energy policies:The discussion highlights how ideologically-driven energy policies, often favoring renewable energy over more reliable sources, have had negative consequences for energy affordability, grid reliability, and industrial competitiveness. The guests advocate for policymaking grounded in scientific and economic realities rather than political agendas.4. The potential of the Marcellus Shale region for reviving American manufacturing:The guests express optimism about leveraging the abundant natural gas resources in the Marcellus Shale to support domestic manufacturing and economic growth, if policies enable the efficient development and utilization of these energy assets.5. The emerging global divide on energy and climate policies:The transcript suggests a bifurcation of the world into two camps - those pursuing net-zero emissions policies that undermine industrial competitiveness, versus those focused on energy affordability and reliability to support economic prosperity.We emphasized the need for objective, fact-based journalism to inform the public and policymakers on the complex realities of the energy transition.Time Stamps: 01:04 WSJ Pivots from Trusted Reporting to Propaganda04:00 The founding of the nation was on trust, and the press was afforded protections08:59 Texas ERCOT, even with problems, is better off than other areas12:42 Manufactured inefficiency on the grid15.13 Ds and Rs it is simpler - it's ideological17:39 the Reliables are nat gas, coal, and nuclear20:11 Power sources next to generationShout out to Reese Energy Consulting for sponsoring the Podcast: https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Check out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/

Desde una perspectiva bíblica, hace un llamado a los cristianos a no perder el tiempo en especulaciones sobre "señales de los tiempos" y enfocarse en ser "testigos de Jesús" y "sal y luz" en la sociedad.

Episodio #756 ✦ ¿Y si tu comida ya estuviera en manos de unos pocos?ㅤ

Hedge fund strategies are gaining renewed attention as market volatility rises and traditional stock and bond diversification becomes less reliable. With inflation uncertainty, shifting monetary policy, and growing macro instability, investors are reassessing how different sources of return and risk management show up across capital markets.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Mike Pyle, Deputy Head of BlackRock's Portfolio Management Group, about how hedge fund strategies work and why they are being re-examined in today's environment. Mike explains what defines hedge fund strategies, how their flexibility seeks to allow managers to express views more precisely, and why they can play different roles within portfolios depending on investor objectives.They explore common misconceptions around hedge fund strategies, including the idea that they are inherently high risk or designed solely to outperform equities. Mike outlines how these strategies span a wide range of risk profiles and can be used for diversification due to their potentially lower correlation to traditional assets. The conversation also examines why macro volatility since 2021 has created a more favorable backdrop for hedge fund strategies, and how their ability to either navigate or reduce macro exposure is shaping investor interest.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: Navigating Uncertainty in Today's Market03:57 Debunking Myths About Hedge Funds07:36 The Growing Interest in Hedge Funds Strategies12:18 Hedge Funds vs. Other Alternatives16:31 Evolution of the Hedge Fund Industry18:28 Key Takeaways for Investors19:41 Conclusion and Next UpKey insights include:• What hedge fund strategies are and how they differ from traditional investments• Why lower correlation, not market outperformance, is often the core objective• How higher volatility and macro uncertainty are reshaping portfolio construction• How hedge fund strategies compare with other alternatives like private markets and infrastructure• Why scale and multi-strategy platforms are changing the hedge fund landscapehedge fund strategies, capital markets, portfolio diversification, alternatives investing, market volatility, megaforcesThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Global markets are entering 2026 amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty, structural shifts in the global order, and rapid technological change. Recorded live from the World Economic Forum in Davos, this episode of The Bid examines the macroeconomic and geopolitical forces shaping the year ahead.Host Oscar Pulido is joined by Philipp Hildebrand, Vice Chairman of BlackRock, and Tom Donilon, Vice Chairman of BlackRock and Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute. Drawing on conversations with political leaders, policymakers, and business executives in Davos, they reflect on an evolving geopolitical landscape and its implications for markets, governments, and global cooperation.The discussion explores how shifts in U.S. policy are reshaping alliances — particularly between the United States and Europe — and why this period may mark a broader transition away from the post–World War II global framework. Philipp outlines the pressures facing Europe, while Tom examines how national security considerations are increasingly shaping economic policy, trade, and global investment flows.Artificial intelligence emerges as a central theme, viewed both as an economic driver and a geopolitical force. The episode considers AI's role in national security competition, the growing importance of data centers and energy infrastructure, and how concerns around sovereignty, critical minerals, and societal impact are elevating AI from a technological issue to a political one.Key insights· How current geopolitical developments are reshaping the global outlook entering 2026· Why Davos remains a key forum for understanding policy and market sentiment· Where Europe's macroeconomic challenges and opportunities are most pronounced· How AI is increasingly intersecting with geopolitics and national security· What recent U.S.–Europe tensions reveal about future global cooperation· How investors and policymakers are interpreting uncertainty in today's environmentGeopolitics, global macro outlook, Europe economy, World Economic Forum Davos, AI and geopolitics, global markets, policy uncertaintyThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Il World Economic Forum di Davos mette in evidenza una crescente frattura tra finanza globale, politica e società. Larry Fink, amministratore delegato di BlackRock, riconosce apertamente il rischio che il capitalismo perda legittimazione politica ed etica se non tornerà a essere percepito come strumento di mobilità sociale. Fink sottolinea la necessità di integrare ampie fasce della popolazione nel nuovo ciclo economico per evitare un'esplosione del dissenso sociale. A rafforzare il quadro, un sondaggio di Survation per Patriotic Millionaires International rivela che sei milionari su dieci nei Paesi G20 giudicano negativamente l'impatto della presidenza Trump sulla stabilità economica globale. Una lettera aperta firmata da quasi 400 milionari e miliardari chiede ai leader mondiali maggiore tassazione dei super ricchi per contrastare l'eccessiva concentrazione di ricchezza. Il commento è di Riccardo Monti, Presidente del Gruppo Triboo e imprenditore e di Andrea Illy, presidente di Illycaffè.Federvini, voto sul Mercosur rischia di frenare opportunità per l'export italianoIl presidente di Federvini Giacomo Ponti esprime forte rammarico per il voto del Parlamento europeo che chiede un parere alla Corte di Giustizia Ue sull'accordo Mercosur. Secondo Ponti, il ricorso rischia di congelare l'intesa per oltre un anno, privando le imprese italiane ed europee di uno strumento cruciale di competitività in una fase di forte instabilità globale. L'accordo Mercosur viene definito una grande opportunità di sviluppo per l'export e per la crescita industriale. Federvini auspica un rapido superamento dell'impasse attraverso il dialogo tra Parlamento, Consiglio e Commissione, per arrivare all'applicazione dell'accordo. Analizziamo il tema con Giacomo Ponti, presidente Federvini.Davos tra retromarcia 'Taco' e Board of PeaceDal palco di Davos, il presidente Usa Donald Trump attenua la minaccia immediata di nuovi dazi nel contesto della disputa sulla Groenlandia, lasciando emergere un'intesa quadro ancora da definire nei dettagli. Secondo indiscrezioni riportate dal New York Times, nei colloqui sarebbe stata discussa una possibile soluzione territoriale limitata che consentirebbe agli Stati Uniti di esercitare una forma di sovranità su aree strategiche della Groenlandia per basi militari. Nel frattempo, l'ambasciatore Usa presso l'Ue Andy Puzder sollecita l'Europarlamento ad approvare rapidamente l'accordo sui dazi Usa-Ue, accusando l'Europa di alimentare instabilità per motivi politici. A Davos Trump ha inoltre firmato lo Statuto del Board of Peace, rendendolo operativo come organizzazione internazionale, con l'adesione di una ventina di Paesi, tra cui Ungheria e Argentina, ma senza la presenza dei principali alleati occidentali degli Stati Uniti. Ne parliamo con Gianluca Di Donfrancesco, Il Sole 24 Ore.

Si apre la seconda giornata del World Economic Forum di Davos, che riunisce circa 3.000 partecipanti da 130 Paesi, tra cui 65 capi di Stato e di governo e 850 leader dell'economia globale. Donald Trump è intervenuto per la prima volta dopo sei anni, con un discorso segnato da toni duri verso l'Europa. Sulla Groenlandia ha escluso l'uso della forza, chiedendo però l'avvio immediato di negoziati e avvertendo che "si ricorderà" di chi si opporrà. Ha poi affrontato i rapporti transatlantici, rilanciando provocazioni verso la Francia, annunciando un incontro con il presidente ucraino Zelensky e difendendo l'uso dei dazi come strumenti punitivi. Sulla NATO ha ribadito l'adesione degli Stati Uniti, esprimendo però dubbi sulla reciprocità dell'impegno europeo. Trump è arrivato con una delegazione particolarmente ampia, che include il segretario di Stato Marco Rubio, il segretario al Tesoro Scott Bessent, il responsabile del Commercio Howard Lutnick e l'inviato speciale Steve Witkoff: secondo il presidente del WEF Børge Brende, la più consistente degli ultimi anni.Il Forum si svolge in un clima profondamente diverso rispetto al passato: i temi "woke", come diversità e inclusione, sono stati di fatto marginalizzati, riflettendo una crescente polarizzazione globale e la competizione tra grandi potenze, riassunta dal tema ufficiale A Spirit of Dialogue. È inoltre il primo Davos senza Klaus Schwab alla guida: dopo le sue dimissioni, la governance è passata a una leadership ad interim con Larry Fink e André Hoffmann, mentre Brende ricopre il ruolo di presidente e amministratore delegato.Nessun aggiornamento sulla presenza della premier Giorgia Meloni, che sta valutando l'invito di Trump a entrare nel Board of Peace per Gaza; tra le ipotesi, una partecipazione al summit senza firmare immediatamente la carta istitutiva. Approfondiamo il tutto con: Gianluca Di Donfrancesco, Il Sole 24 Ore e con Marco Magnani, Professore di International Economics, LUISS Guido Carli.Passa il blitz al PE contro il Mercosur, l'accordo va alla Corte UEIl Parlamento europeo ha deciso di chiedere alla Corte di Giustizia dell'Unione europea un parere giuridico sull'accordo di partenariato tra UE e Mercosur, firmato dopo oltre 25 anni di negoziati. La mozione è stata approvata con una maggioranza risicatissima e sostenuta da sinistra, verdi e liberali. Il ricorso alla Corte non blocca l'applicazione provvisoria dell'accordo, già decisa dal Consiglio, che scatterà però solo dopo la ratifica da parte di almeno uno dei quattro Paesi coinvolti: Brasile, Argentina, Paraguay e Uruguay.La richiesta di parere giuridico viene letta da molti come un tentativo politico di indebolire l'intesa, che punta a rafforzare l'influenza economica europea in Sud America in un contesto di crescenti tensioni globali. Mentre il mondo industriale guarda con favore alle nuove opportunità commerciali, il settore agricolo europeo esprime forti preoccupazioni. Una seconda mozione, presentata dai partiti di destra con lo stesso obiettivo, è stata invece bocciata. La decisione del Parlamento rinvia di fatto il voto di ratifica, inizialmente previsto tra febbraio e aprile. Esponenti della sinistra e dei verdi hanno rivendicato il risultato come una vittoria politica e una riaffermazione del ruolo dello Stato di diritto a livello europeo. Ne discutiamo con Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Il Sole 24 Ore - Bruxelles.

DAMIONMLK Day:Incoming Walmart CEO John Furner:Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy reminds us blahblahblah. During our annual MLK Day Celebration, we reflected on blahblahblah. We care for people. Blahblahblah We strive to be honest, fair, and courageous. And we put others first in the work we do to help people live better.When we lead with care, show respect and do what's right, we honor Dr. King's legacy through action and continue building a Walmart that reflects our purpose and values.Walmart: $27,408,854, the fiscal 2025 annual total compensation of our median associate was $29,469, and the ratio of these amounts was 930:1.By 11:14 AM: He has earned $29,469 (the median worker's entire year of labor).Total Earnings by MLK Day: ~$1,425,000That $1.4 million is equivalent to the lifetime earnings of 48 median Walmart associates (assuming each works for one year at $29,469)As of January 20, 2026, the combined net worth of the Walton family has reached a historic $513.4 billion, according to the latest Bloomberg and Forbes data.As of January 2026, the Walton family collectively receives approximately $3.4 billion per year in dividends from Walmart.Per Day: The family earns roughly $9.27 million every day just by owning the stock.Per Hour: They earn about $386,000 per hour, 24 hours a day.King was literally campaigning for a living wage in Memphis when he was shot by the FBI. your move, walmart CEO John Furner WHO DO YOU BLAME?WestJet reverses cramped seating layout after viral videos show passengers' knees pressed against seats.In the reconfigured layout, which rolled out in late October on select Boeing 737s, space between rows was reduced to 28 inches to accommodate an extra row of seats. WestJet also made economy class seats non-reclinable, offering passengers the option to pay extra for adjustable seats.In a news statement, the company said it will reverse what it called the "densified seating" by removing the additional row of seats.WHO DO YOU BLAME?Samantha (Sam) Taylor was appointed WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Experience Officer March 2025. Sam joined Sunwing in March 2020 as Chief Marketing Officer. Sam's portfolio is accountable for critical touch points in the guest journey and includes leading all Marketing, Guest Experience and Contact Centres for WestJet and Sunwing Vacations. MMStakeholders!Customers: WestJet's rollout of the reconfigured seats has sparked widespread outrage among travelers and even crew members.Employees: Reuters reported that pilots and flight attendants have raised concerns over the new configuration's comfort and safety, specifically whether passengers could safely evacuate the plane in an emergency due to the confined seating.Journalists: Reuters reported that pilots and flight attendants have raised concerns over the new configuration's comfort and safety, specifically whether passengers could safely evacuate the plane in an emergency due to the confined seating.Labor Unions: Alia Hussain, president of the union local representing WestJet cabin personnel, said: "It created a hostile working environment for us as cabin personnel."Onex Corporation, WestJet's publicly traded ownersWhich is really founder and board Chair Gerry Schwartz (annual Chair fee of $1 million), who maintains 100% control of the Multiple Voting Shares (MVS) of Onex Corporation, which effectively grants him 60% of the total voting power in the company.This control allows him to elect 60% of the members of Onex's Board of Directors. While he also personally holds a significant portion of the Subordinate Voting Shares (SVS)—roughly 11.3% as of late 2024—the primary mechanism of his control is the MVS class.All stupid U.S. dual class dictatorships who do not do this!!The "Sunset" Provision: In May 2023, Onex shareholders approved a plan to implement a "sunset" on these special voting rights. Under this agreement, Schwartz's multiple voting rights are scheduled to expire three years after the effective date of the amendment (roughly May 2026).Current Status: As we are currently in early 2026, Schwartz remains the controlling shareholder. Upon the "Event of Change" later this year, the Multiple Voting Shares will convert into Subordinate Voting Shares, and he will lose his absolute control, shifting the company toward a more traditional governance structure.Matt Damon says Netflix wants to make action movies differently to account for shorter attention spansHow the art of filmmaking is being subvertedThe "Say What You Do" Rule: Writers are frequently being told to eliminate subtext. In traditional filmmaking, if a character is sad, you show them staring at a cold cup of coffee. Now, streamers often request that the character explicitly say, "I'm just so sad right now," or have another character ask, "Why are you so sad?"The Reason: If you are looking at your phone during a silent, emotional shot, you miss the story. If the character says it out loud, you can follow the plot without looking at the screen.Heightened Audio Cues: If you've noticed that modern movies have very aggressive sound design—sudden loud bangs, dramatic musical stings, or high-pitched notification-like sounds—it's often intentional.The "Audio Hook": These sounds act like a "ping" to pull your eyes back from your phone to the TV. It's a literal alarm clock for your attention.The "First 10 Minutes" Mandate: In the past, a movie could have a "slow burn" opening (think 2001: A Space Odyssey). Today, Netflix and other streamers use data that shows exactly when a user hits the "Back" button.The Note: Writers are told that a "major event" (an explosion, a death, or a massive hook) must happen within the first 2 to 5 minutes. If the "inciting incident" happens at the 20-minute mark, the data shows they will lose 30% of the audience to TikTok.Centered Framing: Cinematographers are increasingly being told to keep the "important" action in the center of the frame.The Reason: This makes the content easier to view on a mobile device if the user decides to switch from the TV to their phone, or if they are watching a cropped "clip" of the movie on social media later.Increased "Recapping": Have you noticed characters summarizing what just happened more often?The "TikTok Brain" Fix: Because people are multitasking, they often lose the thread of the plot. Streamers now encourage dialogue like, "So, let me get this straight, we have to get the key from the vault before the guard returns in five minutes?" It's a recap for someone who tuned out for the last three minutes.WHO DO YOU BLAME?Netflix: Ted Sarandos & Greg Peters (Co-CEOs of Netflix), Reed Hastings, Jay HoagDrug CEOs (re: The Algorithm): Passive Viewing: Data shows that up to 94% of people use a phone while watching TV.TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew: TikTok is widely considered the pioneer of the "Short-Form Video" era. Its algorithm is specifically designed to provide "intermittent reinforcement" (like a slot machine), which studies suggest can reduce the ability to focus on long-term tasks.Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg: Zuckerberg pivoted Facebook and Instagram (Reels) to aggressively compete with TikTok. Critics argue this transition turned a platform for connection into one of "passive scrolling" that further erodes focus.YouTube CEO Neal Mohan: Under his leadership, YouTube Shorts was launched to capture the short-attention-span market. Even YouTube co-founder Steve Chen has recently warned that these short videos are "shrinking kids' attention spans."Smartphones: Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs MMStanford: The "Father of Persuasive Tech": B.J. FoggStanford's Persuasive Technology Lab, run by B.J. Fogg, taught many of the founders and early employees of Instagram and Facebook.The "Fogg Behavior Model" taught engineers how to use "triggers" and "rewards" to change human behavior through software. He provided the scientific framework that allowed tech companies to treat the human brain like hardware that could be "hacked" for maximum engagement.Trump calls NYSE Dallas expansion plans 'unbelievably bad' for New York: Trump says move poses 'big test' for newly inaugurated Mayor Zohran Mamdani. WHICH HYPOCRISY DO YOU BLAME?The Free Market BullshitTrump and Texas leaders have long championed the freedom of businesses to flee blue-state regulations. However, now that a prestigious icon like the NYSE is actually expanding to Dallas, Trump has pivoted to calling it "unbelievably bad" for New York.The Anti-Woke /Anti-ESG scaremongeringTexas frames itself as a "Sanctuary from Socialism," yet the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) is being used to bypass ESG transparency. While railing against woke mandates, these leaders are creating their own ideological silos—demanding a protected market where management isn't held accountable by shareholders for social or environmental impacts.Texas AG Ken Paxton described BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard as an "investment cartel" that was "illegally controlling national energy markets" and "squeezing more money out of hardworking Americans."Paxton sent a formal warning to Larry Fink and other CEOs, stating that their "radical environmental policies" and "race-based quotas" (DEI) would face severe enforcement actions if they prioritized "politics over consumers."Lead by example: Trump quits NYC and Musk's Dexit to Y'all StreetThroughout his 2024 campaign, Trump consistently compared New York unfavorably to states like Florida and Texas: as an example, he pointed to the lack of state income tax in Florida as a reason why "everyone is leaving New York." Elon Musk's Dexit from Delaware/California is sold as a strike for freedom, yet his empire is built on nearly $40 billion in government subsidies and contracts. He moved to Texas to escape over-regulation (re: his pay package and people being mad about nooses in his factories) while simultaneously heading the most over-regulatory body ever: Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).Leader name calling and scaremongeringTrump's pre-bromance attacks on New York's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani (communist lunatic" and a "Marxist"). Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson (UPenn, Harvard, Princeton): "un-American socialist impulse" and explicitly marketed Dallas as a "sanctuary from socialism" for businesses looking to Dexit New York. The Elite vs. Common Man NonsenseDespite bullshit Y'all Street populist framing, the Texas Stock Exchange is backed by the world's most powerful financial titans. There is no common man victory here; it is the CEO class moving the financial capital to a jurisdiction with fewer labor protections and less oversight.The Big Four Anchor InvestorsBlackRock: (managing ~$14 trillion), despite being the primary target of "anti-woke" and anti-ESG rhetoric from the same politicians who support the TXSE.Citadel Securities: Led by Ken Griffin, this firm executes roughly 1 in 4 of all stock trades in the U.S. Left Chicago for Miami.J.P. Morgan Chase: Jamie Dimon. Joined in 2025 during a $90 million funding round and holds an observer seat on the board.Charles Schwab: handles over 50% of U.S. retail stock orders.MATTWalmart International CEO Kath McLay to step down - WHO DO YOU BLAME?Half exiting CEO Doug McMillonMcLay was under McMillon her entire tenure at WalMart, raised to CEO of the international divisionClearly a protege - passed over for the new CEO?Incoming CEO John FurnerThe white guy who became CEO is such an interesting new story, but Furner started as a sales clerk and has been with the WALTONS a long time through Sam's Club as CEO, another Walton jointFurner/McMillon/Walton family named David Guggina CEO of Walmart US (passing McLay), Chris Nicholas replace McLay, Seth Dallaire was made chief growth officer… rounding out an all male promotion cycle of new execs - no women in major positionsMaybe McLay read the tea leaves - women got chief legal and chief of people, like everywhere else, but leave the big jobs to the swinging dicks.The compensation and management development committee, who according to the company charter, ir responsible to “periodically review and recommend to the full Board succession planning practices for the Company's CEO and other executive officers.”Carla Harris (chair) - black woman with “multicultural” in her job description at Morgan Stanley who apparently didn't apply “multiculturalism” to Walmart executive search?Marissa Mayer - yes, THAT Marissa Mayer, who is on the board of Starbucks with Brian Niccol and AT&T where Randall Stephenson was CEOBrian Niccol - CEO of Starbucks, with no conflict by having Marissa Mayer on the same boardRandall Stephenson - ex CEO of AT&T, with no conflict of interest by having Marissa Mayer on the board. Also on the board - Tom Horton, ex CEO of American Airlines who was… CFO of AT&T under StephensonShishir Mehrotra - who worked at Google via YouTube when… Marissa Mayer worked there (she was in search/maps)Kath McLay, who just couldn't cut it at Walmart anymoreAn SEC official has said (implied) you don't HAVE to vote your proxies as an investor - WHO DO YOU BLAME?Brian Daly, who gave a speech titled (Re)Empowering Fiduciaries in Proxy Voting on Jan 8 in which he argued that not voting doesn't necessarily violate fiduciary dutyGamblers: “Not voting makes sense in many situations. Look, for example, at quantitative and systematic managers, who often operate models that merely seek exposures to identified sources of alpha.”Index investors: “But it may be appropriate for these categories of investment advisers (and the Boards that exercise oversight over this function) to consider whether taking positions on fundamental corporate matters, or on precatory proposals, is consistent with their investment mandates.”Hedging himself: “So, there is no stock answer to the “Must I vote?” question... Instead, it is important that advisers and clients have a fair amount of latitude to decide what works in their individual cases.”Threatening using proxy advisors: “And if we are raising issues for consideration, I will also mention, because the President did, that there is real concern out there that habitual adherence to a proxy consultant's recommendations could pull an adviser into a Section 13(d) group.”Investors, because no matter what Brian Daly suggests, investors almost never vote against management and neither do proxy advisors, so what the fuck are we talking about?Cost, because Daly points out, “And in assessing proposed votes, investment advisers might utilize the Fiduciary Interpretation's concept of a “reasonable inquiry into the client's objectives.” If an investment adviser routinely follows a proxy advisor's stock recommendations without a tailored engagement or independent analysis, is this “reasonable inquiry?” Maybe, but it is certainly worth thinking about. And, to go back to the first question, if the voting process is so burdensome that it requires extensive external resources, why is the adviser voting at all?”John Chevedden, along with Jim McRitchie, without whom we have maybe half the shareholder rights as SP500 companies, and who the no-action data is now showing is disproportionately getting responses for exclusion from the SEC (as if to double down on the idea that we can ignore those commie socialists entirely, but we want to tell you explicitly you're totally legally cool and there's no threat if you exclude Chevedden). Chevedden might be the reason investors were voting at all - maybe now they won't have to?

Il ritorno in presenza di Donald Trump al World Economic Forum segna una svolta per Davos 2026, dominata dalla politica statunitense e dalla più ampia delegazione Usa degli ultimi anni. Con Trump arrivano figure chiave dell'amministrazione, trasformando il Forum in uno snodo centrale del confronto geopolitico. Il presidente rilancerà anche temi di politica interna, mentre la tradizionale agenda "woke" esce dai panel principali. È il primo Davos senza Klaus Schwab, con una nuova governance guidata da Larry Fink e Børge Brende. La premier Meloni parteciperà solo a un Consiglio sulla pace in Palestina, senza prendere parte al Forum. Ci colleghiamo con Gianluca Di Donfrancesco, Il Sole 24 Ore.Un anno di Trump bis, un anno di daziIl 2025 doveva segnare la svolta protezionista americana con dazi, svalutazione del dollaro e riduzione del deficit commerciale. Ma i dati raccontano altro: il commercio globale è cresciuto oltre il 6%, trainato soprattutto dai servizi. Nessuna de-globalizzazione, ma una riorganizzazione delle catene del valore. Le politiche di Trump non hanno fermato gli scambi internazionali né invertito la globalizzazione, smentendo le previsioni più pessimistiche. Interviene: Alberto Forchielli, imprenditore, Partner Fondatore di Mindful Capital Partners ed editorialista del Sole 24 Ore.Fisco, parte la corsa per la rottamazione delle vecchie cartelleAl via la rottamazione quinquies per sanare fino a 13 miliardi di vecchi debiti fiscali. Le domande vanno presentate online entro il 21 gennaio, con scadenza decisiva il 30 aprile. La misura riguarda i carichi affidati all'Agenzia delle Entrate Riscossione dal 2000 al 2023 e consente di pagare senza sanzioni e interessi, anche in un piano fino a 54 rate bimestrali su nove anni. Le novità operative e i dettagli saranno approfonditi a Telefisco il 5 febbraio. Interviene Jean Marie Del Bo, vicedirettore Il Sole 24 Ore.

Minneapolis is imploding in flames YET AGAIN as ICE straight-up arms ruthless Somali invaders and violent communist gangs with pilfered federal guns—while barely deporting anyone amid the 50-MILLION alien swarm orchestrated by globalist elites! George Papadopoulos joins Stew to discuss the latest.   Larry Fink and BlackRock are forcing tokenization on everything you own—your house, your car, all of it—turning it into blockchain tokens they control so they can rip it away the second you step out of line. Carlos Cortez joins Stew to expose this World Economic Forum Mark of the Beast track-trace-control system.   Big Pharma has poisoned millions of Americans with deadly opioids and even everyday Tylenol, turning chronic pain sufferers into addicts or corpses. But Angie, a former world-class athlete turned health revolutionary, exposes the simple, drug-free secret to cleaning blocked joints and restoring your body—empowering you to break free from pain and take back your life starting today.

Shad Sullivan joins us to help us understand what is happening and how we can get involved to push back against those who would oppose our freedom to continue in this way of life.Sponsors:Rogue Food Conference (Code: Shad30)Take the Survey:Working Cows 2026 Listener Survey
