Podcasts about MBS

This week we dive into Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2 and we spent most of the time talking about the teaching arc like why that first “demo” bout with Shiki was about earning respect and not scaring off the students, whether Makoto's class were troublemakers or just talented misfits, and how that whole school stretches into bigger geopolitical plot points; we also pulled in manga-only context that patched the anime's fuzzy bits, like humans getting language as a goddess “gift” so it helped explain why he thought he couldn't speak it. From there we spiral into some of the lore, contract power-scaling, and how those Demiplane critters are basically demon-lord tier. We argued pacing vs. payoff on the academy and merchant-guild threads, questioned the handling of Hibiki's spirit-beast armor without much on-screen context, and leaned on chats live notes to connect how the classroom stuff sets up the wider moves happening off camera.About the anime:Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off, with Makoto heading to Rotsgard Academy and then he reluctantly takes a teaching job more so that he can open a store in the city forcing him to juggle that and the Kuzunoha Company while also quietly growing the Demiplane into a functioning society. The goddess's chosen heroes, Hibiki and Tomoki, also step into the spotlight this season, with their ideals clashing with Makoto's hands-off approach as campus lessons spill into citywide incidents and merchant/noble scheming. The plot weaves through academy lectures, the Rembrandt family, and rising human-demon tensions, and sprinkled with character growth and fights that are nudging the whole world toward a larger political and spiritual showdown that even the goddess can't ignore.Next Week's Pick: "Arcane"Have you had the chance to watch Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2 or any of our previous selections?

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and former Wall Street Journal publisher Karen Elliott House, author of the new book The Man Who Would Be King: Mohammed bin Salman and the Transformation of Saudi Arabia, talks to Adam Lowenstein about how Saudi Arabia has changed under the crown prince; whether MBS's gamble on economic and social freedoms alongside civil and political repression is politically—or environmentally—sustainable; how Saudi Arabia's oil and petrochemical industries serve its geopolitical interests; and why the kingdom's promises about transitioning away from fossil fuels might be a bit less green than climate advocates would hope.

Chris Mitchell is bestselling author of titles including "Jerusalem Dateline," "Destination Jerusalem" and "ISIS, Iran and Israel: What You Need to Know about the Current Mideast Crisis and the Coming War." Chris Mitchell serves on the Executive Advisory Board of International Leaders Summit and Jerusalem Leaders Summit. Chris Mitchell first began reporting on the Middle East in the mid-1990s. He repeatedly traveled there to report on the religious and political issues facing Israel and the surrounding Arab states. As an eyewitness to major events in the region, Chris was in the center of hostile locations when reporting on October 7, 2023 and then actually in Gaza examining the tunnels with Israel's military. He has traveled extensively, including the more difficult places affected by conflicts and war. There are few Western journalists that have such a deep understanding of Israel within the Middle East, and the challenges and opportunities that the Jewish State faces in the 21st century. He has interviewed American and Israeli leaders including PM Benjamin Netanyahu on several occasions, and America's top leaders including cabinet members and ambassadors. In fact, Chris Mitchell visited Riyadh and met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the prospects of normalizing relations with Israel. The conversation with Chris Mitchell on America's Roundatble is focused on US-Israel relations, an update on the release of 20 remaining living hostages from Gaza, Trump's speech in Knesset, the signing of peace accords between Israel and hamas in Egypt and the future of the Middle East. On August 17, 2000, Chris Mitchell opened the CBN News Bureau in Israel. He came with his wife, Liz, and their three children without a notion of what would begin just five weeks later — a four-year-long campaign of Palestinian terror attacks and suicide bombings known as the Second Intifada rocked Israel. He also serves as the host and Executive Producer of Jerusalem Dateline, a weekly TV program from Israel seen worldwide on numerous networks.

Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog, explains why Americans remain uncomfortable with gold despite it hitting new highs - it implies dollar weakness after 150 years of reserve currency dominance. He reveals FDR seized the Federal Reserve's gold in 1933 with little compensation, while today US gold allocation sits under 1% of portfolios versus growing central bank accumulation. Whalen defends his call for earlier Fed cuts. He sees gold reaching $5,000+ by end of 2026 as US allocations shift from under 1% toward 2%, while warning the average person without assets continues getting screwed as the Fed will eventually monetize Treasury issuance through financial repression.Sponsor: Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Links:    Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/   Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Timestamps:0:00 Welcome and introduction - Chris Whalen's first in-studio appearance0:24 Julia's introduction highlighting Chris's credentials and analysis1:16 Fed takeaway - Steve Miran only governor wanting 50bp cut2:19 Housing emergency coming - Fed drove prices up, Trump faces constraint2:31 Housing scenarios - mortgage rates retreating after quarter point4:17 Monetary Metals ad read5:34 Housing psychology - homeowners trying to sell at the top6:53 Office space comparison - no longer premium asset class7:38 Fed rate cut outlook - may not see more cuts for months9:58 Bank balance sheet problems - mortgage securities underwater10:54 Politics of inflation - housing affordability crisis13:10 Viewer housing question response - Florida 1924 parallels15:32 DC trip on GSEs - still no roadmap from Treasury18:43 Fannie/Freddie trade - made 30% then got out19:54 Taking profits22:36 Watching the herd mentality25:20 Dollar/deficit thesis - weaker dollar, Treasury pressure ahead27:47 Fed restructuring vision - eliminate Board of Governors31:09 Housing emergency declaration - resuming MBS purchases discussion33:51 Mixed economy - wealthy vs bottom quartile struggling34:34 Debt myths - Americans love inflation, debt is currency36:18 Highest conviction trade - gold and strategic silver

The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell 65bp between the beginning of June to the end of September, causing a mini refinancing boom from those who initially borrowed closer to this cycle's peak rates. Most borrowers still have mortgages with rates well below the current market rate, however, reinforcing the “mortgage lock” that has stifled housing market churn over the last few years. The Fed's policy path and longer-term interest rates will determine whether the housing market continues to thaw and how much prepayment risk there is for MBS investors. In this episode, we talk with Walt Schmidt, Manager of Mortgage Strategies with FHN Financial, about what's caused the recent decline in mortgage rates, what to expect for MBS prepayments in the coming months, and whether another refinance boom is on the horizon.

Karen Elliott House was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for her coverage of the Middle East. Arguably, she knows more about the region, and Saudi Arabia in particular, than any other active journalist or author.  For her latest book, Why Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Matters to the World, Karen conducted more than half a dozen in-depth interviews with the 40-year-old Saudi Crown Prince, known universally as “MBS.” For global business owners and executives, the dramatic Saudi transformation over the past decade, spearheaded by MBS, presents both promise and peril: vast opportunities for investment and growth but also political and legal risks that demand careful navigation. The pace of change under MBS has astonished even veteran observers like Karen, who has traveled to the kingdom more than 45 times since the late 1970s. Today, Saudi women can drive, hold jobs across industries, and participate openly in public life. Entertainment venues — from concerts to theme parks — are thriving. Restaurants that once erected wooden partitions to shield women from the public now bustle with mixed crowds. Karen compares his confidence and determination to that of Jack Welch at General Electric or Lee Kuan Yew, a founding father of modern Singapore. Like them, MBS is willing to make unpopular decisions in pursuit of national transformation. Whether his reforms endure, she cautions, depends on two factors: keeping the economy growing and avoiding foreign policy missteps that could unite his enemies. With a half-century potentially ahead of him as the next Saudi King, Mohammed bin Salman will be an unavoidable force in global politics and business. As Karen puts it, Americans must move beyond old stereotypes and reckon with the kingdom as it is — complex, evolving, and essential.

Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist at QI Research, joins Julia La Roche in-studio following the September FOMC. DiMartino Booth argues the Fed "chose independence over economy" with its 25bp cut, as Waller and Bowman sacrificed potential Fed chair positions by not dissenting for larger cuts. She presents compelling evidence the US has created zero jobs since April in the core private sector and calls a double-dip recession starting Q2 2024. DiMartino Booth's thesis is that "the Fed put is dead" - if the Fed goes to zero bound again, the 40% of stocks owned by 70+ year-olds will be forced to sell, stress-testing passive flows for the first time in history. She advocates reforming the Fed's structure, eliminating the conflicting dual mandate, and warns that unknown leverage in private markets represents the new systemic fault line.Sponsors: Monetary Metals: https://monetary-metals.com/julia⁠ Links: Danielle's Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/dimartinobooth Substack: https://dimartinobooth.substack.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielleDiMartinoBoothQIFed Up: https://www.amazon.com/Fed-Up-Insiders-Federal-Reserve/dp/07352116550:00 Welcome and introduction - Danielle in studio post-FOMC0:36 Fed chose independence over economy - 25bp cut reaction2:32 Waller's non-dissent - sacrificing Fed chair shot for integrity3:46 US created zero jobs since April in core private sector5:43 Monetary Metals ad read6:43 Double dip recession call - started Q2 20248:53 Jobs typo in North Carolina data - continuing claims actually rose11:14 Top 10% now account for 49% of consumption12:21 Double dip recession explained - historical 1980-81 parallel14:31 1.4 million full-time jobs lost since January16:08 CEOs investing in AI to cut workers, not add jobs17:20 Fed's dual mandate doesn't make sense - inherently conflicting20:16 The Fed put is dead - new book thesis23:02 Zero bound means boomers sell stocks - passive never stress tested27:24 Fed structure needs reform - too many PhDs, need practitioners29:01 Lehman anniversary - Fed violated law with MBS purchases31:42 Private markets are new fault line - leverage unknown32:32 Final thoughts - give peace a chance, listen to each other

Journaliste et écrivain, Giuliano da Empoli est un des esprits les plus brillants du moment. L'auteur des Ingénieurs du chaos ou du roman Le mage du Kremlin est l'invité de ce numéro d'Idées pour parler des « prédateurs qui sont au pouvoir aujourd'hui sur tous les continents ». (Rediffusion) Ancien adjoint au maire en charge de la culture à Florence, conseiller politique du président du Conseil italien Matteo Renzi, il a publié son premier livre en 1996, Un grande futuro dietro di noi à propos des difficultés rencontrées par les jeunes Italiens. En tant qu'auteur et commentateur politique, il intervient régulièrement dans des émissions télévisées et radiophoniques en Italie et en France. Il publie aujourd'hui L'heure des prédateurs chez Gallimard. « Aujourd'hui, l'heure des prédateurs a sonné et partout les choses évoluent d'une telle façon que tout ce qui doit être réglé le sera par le feu et par l'épée. Ce petit livre est le récit de cette conquête, écrit du point de vue d'un scribe aztèque et à sa manière, par images, plutôt que par concepts, dans le but de saisir le souffle d'un monde, au moment où il sombre dans l'abîme, et l'emprise glacée d'un autre, qui prend sa place. », écrit-il dans ce récit. Au micro de Pierre-Edouard Deldique, Giuliano da Empoli nous fait voyager de New York à Riyad, de l'ONU au Ritz-Carlton de MBS, « là où le pouvoir s'acquiert par des actions irréfléchies et tapageuses, où des autocrates décomplexés sont à l'affût du maximum de chaos, où les seigneurs de la tech semblent déjà habiter un autre monde, où l'IA s'avère incontrôlable ». L'auteur qui a une parfaite connaissance du milieu politique regarde sans ciller : « L'union de la rage et des algorithmes ». Il préconise de « réinventer une propagande adaptée à l'ère des selfies et des réseaux sociaux » car « le moment que nous vivons est machiavélien ». Idées, le magazine qui interroge ceux qui pensent le monde. Programmation musicale : Edouard Ferlet – Herd instinct

It also comes as more countries move to recognize a Palestinian state, forcing us to grapple with the high price Israel is paying on the global stage for the ongoing Gaza war. With this in mind, on today's episode, Dan speaks with Dr. Micah Goodman about whether there's a difference between winning the war in Gaza and winning the wider, regional war. Is it possible that Israel will need to modify its definition of victory in Gaza in order to emerge victorious in the larger re-shaping of the geopolitics of the Middle East?Micah Goodman is a research fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute and co-host of the popular Israeli podcast Mifleget Hamachshavot produced by Beit Avi Chai.CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer
