Ravi Gupta and Stephen Webber break down Congress's explosive vote to release the Epstein files as Trump abruptly reverses course at the last minute, raising questions about whether compromising material is being withheld. They analyze accusations from Mark Epstein that the files are already being scrubbed, Rep. Thomas Massie's threat to read names on the House floor, and the sweeping disclosure requirements included in the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Kander and Gupta also dive into the political chaos surrounding Speaker Mike Johnson's demand for last-minute changes that the Senate flatly rejected, Trump's meltdown when pressed on why he didn't release the files himself, and the escalating infighting on the right—from MTG's attacks on Trump to Megyn Kelly's soft-pedaling of Epstein's crimes to new reporting that the White House intervened on behalf of Andrew Tate. Plus, they discuss the stunning court ruling striking down Texas's redistricting maps after a DOJ-induced legal fiasco.

Ionatan and Ravi give their thoughts on every show they're watching this fall! They discuss a not so great season of anime to wrap up the year including a 'Spy x Family' sequel, the wild ride that is 'Sanda,' and a collection of underwhelming series.
Ravi sits down with Lawrence McDonald to reveal why the classic “just buy the index” advice may now be one of the biggest risks in the market. They break down how passive investing, AI-driven mega-caps, and relentless stock buybacks have concentrated everyone's savings into a fragile handful of stocks. McDonald explains how de-dollarization, shrinking demand for U.S. treasuries, and nonstop bailouts are rewriting the safety playbook. He lays out where the real opportunities may be now—in hard assets, select energy and commodity names, and short-term cash positions ready to strike when the bubble finally pops.

Banking on Fraudology is presented by Sardine.ai.In this episode of Banking on Fraudology, Hailey Windham sits down with Ravi Loganathan, Co-founder and President of Sonar AI and Head of Banking and Policy at Sardine. Ravi, who has over 20 years in banking and consortium work with institutions like Early Warning Services, Zelle, and Bank of America, has been leading the charge at Sardine to make intelligent sharing accessible and actionable for all institutions.The conversation dives deep into the concept of collective intelligence, which Ravi describes as a "must-have" in the age of accelerating AI-driven scams. Fraudsters exploit information sharing gaps by jumping from one institution (like a fintech) to another (like a large regulated bank), making an ecosystem-wide defense essential.Key Takeaways: Unlocking Collective Intelligence with Sonar AIThe Sonar AI Origin Story: Sonar AI was kickstarted three years ago by a group of banks and fintechs to fill a critical gap: the lack of infrastructure for real-time risk information sharing when funds movement or instant settlement is authorized. This was driven by the need to combat authorized push payment (APP) fraud, particularly concerning the lack of insights on the recipient.How Sonar AI Works: Sonar AI is an industry utility. Before an institution authorizes a fund movement or account opening, they can inquire into Sonar on the entity conducting the transaction. Sonar returns curated signals (often simplified to "high, medium, low" risk, block list status, etc.) for the institution to augment their existing risk decisioning process. In return, the institution provides feedback, benefiting the next inquiring member.Regulatory Foundation: Sonar AI is built on a strong regulatory framework, having worked with FinCEN to receive 314(b) designation to form an association of financial institutions. It also facilitates broader fraud signal sharing under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).Empowering Smaller FIs: Sonar AI offers features specifically for smaller community banks and credit unions, including batch contribution and batch inquiry to eliminate the need for immediate API tech builds. Ravi details their collaboration with the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) accelerator program to embed Sardine's solutions into core providers and invite FIs to join Sonar as members.Future Innovations: Ravi reveals Sonar AI's newest services, including Footprint, which provides a broader view of a consumer's financial standing by tracking their transactions across crypto exchanges, marketplaces, and fintechs , and the expansion of the Red Flag service for monitoring credentials leaked on the dark web.This is a must-listen for investigators, executives, and anyone working in the financial crimes space who is serious about strengthening prevention efforts and is ready to embrace the future of shared, collective defense.About Hailey Windham:As a 2023 CU Rockstar Recipient, Hailey Windham, CFCS (Certified Financial Crimes Specialist) demonstrated unbounding passion for educating her community, organization and credit union membership on scams in the market and best practices to avoid them. She has implemented several programs within her previous organizations that aim at holistically learning about how to prevent and detect fraud targeted at membership and employees. Windham's initiatives to build strong relationships and partnerships throughout the credit union community and industry experts have led to countless success stories. Her applied knowledge of payments system programs combined with her experience in fraud...
Ravi Coltrane with Marcus MillerMarcus Miller interviews Ravi Coltrane about his musical evolution and the dual legacy of his parents, Alice and John Coltrane. This insightful and candid talk, recorded live on the Journey of Jazz cruise, covers the challenges of growing up under the shadow of a jazz icon and finding one's own voice through the music.Key TakeawaysThe episode is a conversation between host Marcus Miller and guest Ravi Coltrane, focusing on Ravi's development as a jazz saxophonist.Ravi's father, John Coltrane, passed away in 1967 when Ravi was 2 years old, leaving Ravi to be raised by his mother, Alice Coltrane. Ravi notes that his father's instruments are currently in his stateroom.Ravi began his musical journey playing the clarinet throughout junior high and high school. He switched to the soprano saxophone at age 16 after his mother gave it to him for his birthday as a hint, later moving to the tenor saxophone.Ravi did not initially feel pressure from his famous last name because, during the 1970s in the San Fernando Valley where he grew up, John Coltrane was still considered "underground" or "counter culture".The death of Ravi's older brother, John Jr., in an automobile accident when Ravi was 17, caused a "void" that Ravi later filled by studying his father's music. Ravi began listening to his father's records to gain answers for questions asked at parties, and through this, the music "hit" him.Ravi worked with key members of the John Coltrane Quartet, including joining drummer Elvin Jones's band in 1991 (though he felt he was "prematurely" ready) and later working with pianist McCoy Tyner in the 2000s.Ravi and Marcus discuss the meaning of being "ready" to perform at a high level, noting that it means being "prepared to do the job properly" and recognizing that evolution and learning are continuous processes.Host and Guest InfoHost: Lee Mergner (introduction), Marcus Miller (interview).Guest: Ravi Coltrane.This talk was recorded during the Journey of Jazz cruise. Marcus Miller provided the theme music, which is a clip from his song "High Life" on his album Aphrodesia on Blue Note.The talk was captured by Brian Ratchkco and his production team.Send us a text

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the explosive release of newly uncovered Jeffrey Epstein emails, including messages referencing Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell that raise fresh questions about what the former president knew and when. They analyze the media and political fallout, how these revelations intersect with ongoing legal scrutiny, and what Epstein's 2019 emails to journalist Michael Wolff reveal about his ties to Mar-a-Lago.

Ravi sits down with Tim Wu, author of The Age of Extraction, to unpack how America's biggest tech empires rose—and why they might be due for a breakup. From Teddy Roosevelt's railroad wars to Amazon's pay-to-play marketplace, Wu traces how antitrust battles have shaped innovation for more than a century. He explains how Amazon's tactics—copycat products, buried listings, and punishing sellers—mirror the monopolies of the past, and what the FTC is trying to change. The episode ends on AI, asking whether Big Tech's wild spending is fueling progress—or just building smarter walls around its power. -- Ravi's Analog Writer's Group: https://www.ravimgupta.com/analog Tim Wu's The Age of Extraction -- Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 201-305-0084 Follow Ravi at @RaviMGupta Notes from this episode are also available on Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Read more from Ravi on Substack: https://realravigupta.substack.com Follow The Branch at @thebranchmedia Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lost-debate/id1591300785 Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xR9pch9DrQDiZfGB5oF0F Listen to Where the Schools Went: https://thebranchmedia.org/show/where-the-schools-went/
Our guest expert looks at her political approach, as well as her personal side. Synopsis: The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. In this wide-ranging conversation, Ravi speaks with Professor Tomohiko Taniguchi, foreign policy adviser to the Cabinet of the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and one of the most authoritative voices on Japan about the ascend and likely impact of Sanae Takaichi. They discuss Ms Takaichi’s first diplomatic encounter with US President Donald Trump, her hardline approach to defence, and China, Japan’s shifting priorities in Asean as Philippines rises in salience and Indonesia declines, Tokyo’s dread of Trump’s ‘G-2’ talk, the future of the Quad security dialogue, and her approach to economic policy. They also discuss Ms Takaichi’s softer, personal side – her early life, propensity to ride powerful motorbikes, marriage to the same man twice and finally, the question: Now that Japan has its first woman PM, is it time to consider an Empress for Japan?

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: From Diwali Festivities to A+: Arjun's Festival Breakthrough Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-11-12-08-38-20-hi Story Transcript:Hi: हर साल की तरह, इस बार भी अर्जुन का परिवार दीवाली के लिए बड़े पैमाने पर तैयारियां कर रहा था।En: As every year, this time too, Arjun's family was making grand preparations for Diwali.Hi: चारों ओर रंग-बिरंगी रोशनी और रंगोली से सजा हुआ घर त्योहार की रौनक से जगमग हो उठा था।En: The house, adorned with colorful lights and rangoli, was sparkling with the spirit of the festival.Hi: घर के भीतर मिठाइयों की महक और बाहर पटाखों की आवाज़ें वातावरण को पूरे जोश में डाल रही थीं।En: The aroma of sweets inside the house and the sounds of fireworks outside were energizing the atmosphere.Hi: अर्जुन अपने कमरे में, एक अहम स्कूल प्रोजेक्ट पर ध्यान देने की कोशिश कर रहा था।En: Arjun was in his room, trying to focus on an important school project.Hi: अर्जुन को इस बार एक खास असाइनमेंट मिला था।En: Arjun received a special assignment this time.Hi: उसे भारतीय त्योहारों पर एक प्रोजेक्ट बनाना था।En: He had to create a project on Indian festivals.Hi: लक्ष्य था टीचर को प्रभावित करना और एक स्कॉलरशिप हासिल करना।En: The goal was to impress the teacher and earn a scholarship.Hi: उसके साथ प्रोजेक्ट पार्टनर था उसका सबसे अच्छा दोस्त, रवि।En: His project partner was his best friend, Ravi.Hi: लेकिन आजकल का माहौल देखकर अर्जुन को इस बात का एहसास था कि यह काम इतना आसान नहीं होगा।En: However, seeing the festive environment, Arjun realized that this task would not be easy.Hi: मेहरा, अर्जुन की चचेरी बहन, दिवाली की छुट्टियों के लिए आई हुई थी।En: Mehra, Arjun's cousin sister, had come to visit for the Diwali holidays.Hi: वह उत्साह और नवाचार से भरपूर थी।En: She was full of enthusiasm and innovation.Hi: जैसे ही वह घर में प्रवेश करती, अर्जुन का ध्यान भंग होने लगता।En: As soon as she entered the house, Arjun's concentration began to waver.Hi: "अरे अर्जुन!En: "Hey Arjun!Hi: देखो मैंने कितनी सुंदर रंगोली बनाई है," यह कहकर मेहरा सीधे कमरे में चली आई।En: Look at the beautiful rangoli I made," she said, walking straight into the room.Hi: हालांकि मेहरा के आइडिया कभी-कभी दिलचस्प होते थे, लेकिन वह जल्दी ही दूसरी चीजों में व्यस्त हो जाती।En: Although Mehra's ideas were sometimes interesting, she quickly got busy with other things.Hi: रवि भी वहाँ था, आराम से बैठा मुस्कुरा रहा था, "अरे, अर्जुन, थोड़ा ब्रेक लो।En: Ravi was also there, sitting comfortably, smiling, "Hey, Arjun, take a break.Hi: दीवाली का आनंद लो।En: Enjoy Diwali."Hi: "अर्जुन थोड़ा चिंतित हुआ, "समय बहुत कम है, और यह प्रोजेक्ट बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है।En: Arjun was a bit worried, "There's very little time, and this project is very important."Hi: " कुछ समय के लिए अर्जुन ने सोचा कि रात को जब सब शांति से सो जाएंगे तब काम करना सही रहेगा।En: For a moment, Arjun thought it might be wise to work when everyone would be peacefully asleep at night.Hi: लेकिन तभी एक और बम फूटा - मेहरा के दिमाग में।En: But then another lightbulb went off—this time in Mehra's mind.Hi: "अर्जुन भैया!En: "Hey Arjun bhaiya!Hi: क्यों न हम इस प्रोजेक्ट में हमारी दीवाली की कहानी जोड़ें?En: Why don't we include our Diwali story in this project?"Hi: " अर्जुन पहले तो झिझका, लेकिन उसकी बात में दम था।En: Arjun hesitated at first, but her idea had merit.Hi: अचानक उसे अहसास हुआ कि मेहरा की क्रिएटिविटी और रवि की सहायक प्रकृति प्रोजेक्ट के लिए फायदेमंद साबित हो सकती हैं।En: Suddenly, he realized that Mehra's creativity and Ravi's supportive nature could prove beneficial for their project.Hi: धीमे-धीमे दिवाली की रौनक और हलचल के बीच, तीनों ने मिलकर एक शानदार प्रेजेंटेशन तैयार किया।En: Slowly, amidst the hustle and bustle of Diwali, the three of them together prepared an amazing presentation.Hi: उन्होंने कहानी, कला और टेक्नोलॉजी को जोड़ते हुए दीवाली के पारंपरिक और आधुनिक पहलुओं को दिखाया।En: They combined storytelling, art, and technology to showcase both traditional and modern aspects of Diwali.Hi: उनकी मेहनत रंग लाई।En: Their hard work paid off.Hi: स्कूल में उनकी प्रस्तुति को खूब सराहना मिली।En: Their presentation received much praise at school.Hi: टीचर ने उनके काम की गहराई और मौलिकता की तारीफ की।En: The teacher appreciated the depth and originality of their work.Hi: अर्जुन को अपने प्रोजेक्ट के लिए उम्मीद से बढ़कर प्रशंसा मिली।En: Arjun received more recognition than he had hoped for his project.Hi: अर्जुन ने सीखा कि परिश्रम के साथ-साथ रचनात्मकता का मेल और सहयोग का महत्व कितना खास होता है।En: Arjun learned the importance of combining hard work with creativity and collaboration.Hi: उसने यह भी समझा कि कभी-कभी त्योहारों का शोरगुल भी एक नए दृष्टिकोण की प्रेरणा दे सकता है।En: He also understood that sometimes the clamor of festivals can inspire a new perspective.Hi: इस तरह, अर्जुन, मेहरा और रवि ने दीवाली के आकर्षण को अपने प्रोजेक्ट में ढालकर एक नई ऊँचाई हासिल की।En: In this way, Arjun, Mehra, and Ravi transformed the charm of Diwali into their project, reaching a new height.

Ravi Rajani is a master of impactful communication, storytelling, and leadership development. He is the author of Relationship Currency and helps professionals unlock their influence through the power of intentional storytelling. From theater and investment banking to keynote stages and coaching rooms, Ravi's journey is a testament to finding alignment and embracing authenticity. https://www.theravirajani.com/ "Charisma is an innate superpower we all possess, which allows others to feel significant in our presence." "Your daughters will marry your example. Your sons will follow it." "The more you do the inner work, the more the dream works." In this heart-led and insight-packed conversation, Ravi Rajani dives into storytelling, authenticity, and personal transformation. He explores how inner alignment fuels outward success, the power of leading with vulnerability, and how storytelling can be the catalyst for influence and connection. It's a masterclass in communication that truly resonates. 1. Parenthood Becoming a parent reshaped Ravi's perspective on leadership and legacy. Children reflect the examples we set—our integrity, actions, and mindset matter. Personal growth becomes urgent when others look to you as a model. 2. Masks, Authenticity, and Alignment We wear masks to protect ourselves, but they often block genuine connection. True growth happens when we embrace who we are, not who we pretend to be. Removing the mask can be the catalyst to meaningful relationships and self-leadership. 3. Redefining Charisma Charisma isn't about attention—it's about making others feel they matter. Ravi's ASI framework (Authenticity, Specificity, Impact) turns compliments into transformations. When people feel seen and heard, they unlock their own potential. 4. From Pain to Story to Influence Ravi guides listeners to turn personal challenges into powerful stories. His "Acorn Checklist" (Attention, Conflict, Outcome, Relevance, Narrative) helps craft stories that stick. Your story is a bridge—when shared well, it invites others to step into their own journey. 5. Technology and Human Connection AI can support growth, but it must not replace human reflection and depth. Fast results without inner work risk shallow success. Use tools like AI to make space for deep conversations, not avoid them.

"The Camera of Darkness" tells the chilling tale of Ravi, a late-night photographer from a small Indian town who discovers an abandoned photo studio—Raj Photo Lab. Drawn by curiosity, he begins taking pictures inside, only to find ghostly figures appearing behind him in every shot. He laughs it off until he uses an old Polaroid camera left behind, unaware of a cursed note warning that anyone who takes a photo with it will be trapped inside. When he develops the photo, he sees himself being strangled. The next morning, villagers find his picture hanging on the studio wall—forever frozen among the other victims.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the Democrats' dominating victories in Virginia and New Jersey, where early returns and strong turnout have analysts like Harry Enten and Dave Wasserman predicting Democrats could be favored to retake the House in 2026. They unpack how the results exposed cracks in the GOP coalition, with MAGA influencers blaming “weak” Republican candidates and moderates pointing to Trump's shutdown chaos and record-low approval rating of -18%. Kander and Gupta also examine how Democratic leaders from Gavin Newsom to Bill Ferguson framed the victories as proof that competence and optimism still win, even as Republicans melted down online over their losses. Plus, they analyze the high-stakes Supreme Court case that could unravel Trump's global tariffs, what it means for the U.S. economy, and how it fits into a broader crisis of Trump's leadership.

Ravi and Idrees Kahloon start with the current Supreme Court showdown: can a president raise tariffs alone, or does Congress have to sign off? They unpack why the Court might push back—and what that could mean for future presidents. Then they turn to immigration, where the U.S. may soon have more people leaving than arriving, with big effects on jobs and Social Security. Finally, they dig into education: why test scores are falling even as grades rise, and how places like Mississippi and New Orleans are turning things around by raising standards and focusing on real learning. – The Inconvenient Success of New Orleans Schools (The 74, 8/25/25) The Court Must Decide If the Constitution Means What It Says (The Atlantic, 11/5/25) America's Impending Population Collapse (The Atlantic, 10/29/25)America Is Sliding Toward Illiteracy (The Atlantic, 10/14/25) – Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 201-305-0084 Follow Ravi at @RaviMGupta Notes from this episode are also available on Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Read more from Ravi on Substack: https://realravigupta.substack.com Follow The Branch at @thebranchmedia Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lost-debate/id1591300785 Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xR9pch9DrQDiZfGB5oF0F Listen to Where the Schools Went: https://thebranchmedia.org/show/where-the-schools-went/
Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Lost in Adventure: A Tale of Friendship in the Forest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-11-06-23-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: गहरा जंगल अपने शरद ऋतु के रंगों में लिपटा हुआ था।En: The deep forest was wrapped in its autumn colors.Hi: ऊँचे पेड़, ऊनी चादर की तरह, अपने रंगीन पत्तों को हवा में उड़ाते हुए धीरे-धीरे झाड़ियों पर गिरा रहे थे।En: Tall trees, like woolen blankets, were slowly letting their colorful leaves fall in the wind, landing gently on the bushes.Hi: अरुण, मीरा, और रावी जंगल में रोमांच की तलाश में थे।En: Arun, Meera, and Ravi were in the forest in search of adventure.Hi: अरुण ने एक खास झरने के बारे में पढ़ा था और उसे खोज निकालना चाहता था ताकि अपने दोस्तों को प्रभावित कर सके।En: Arun had read about a special waterfall and wanted to find it to impress his friends.Hi: वो तीनों जंगल के रास्तों पर चलते हुए खुश थे।En: The three of them were happy as they walked along the forest paths.Hi: अरुण सबसे आगे था, हर मोड़ पर नई ऊर्जा के साथ।En: Arun was leading, with fresh energy at every turn.Hi: मीरा उसके ठीक पीछे थी, हमेशा की तरह ध्यान से रास्ते और उन पेड़ों की जड़ों पर नज़र रखती, जो कभी-कभी अचानक ही पाँव की राह में आ जाते।En: Meera was right behind him, as always carefully watching the path and the roots of the trees that sometimes suddenly appeared in their way.Hi: रावी, सबसे छोटा होते हुए भी, खुद को साहसी साबित करने की कोशिश में था।En: Ravi, being the youngest, was trying to prove himself brave.Hi: धीरे-धीरे जब वे आगे बढ़े, तो अरुण ने एक छोटा सा नक्शा निकालते हुए कहा, "यहां से हमें एक छोटा रास्ता मिल सकता है।En: As they gradually moved forward, Arun took out a small map and said, "We might find a shortcut from here."Hi: " मीरा को थोड़ा संदेह हुआ, लेकिन उसने अरुण की उत्सुकता देखी और कहा, "ठीक है, लेकिन ध्यान रखना।En: Meera was a bit doubtful, but seeing Arun's eagerness, she said, "Okay, but be careful."Hi: "हालांकि जल्दी ही वे पकड़े रास्ते से भटक गए।En: However, soon they got off the path they were following.Hi: सूरज धीरे-धीरे नीचे गिर रहा था, पेड़ों की छाया बढ़ रही थी।En: The sun was slowly setting, and the shadows of the trees were growing longer.Hi: अरुण ने महसूस किया कि वे रास्ता भटक गए हैं, लेकिन उसका आत्मविश्वास अब भी कायम था।En: Arun realized they were lost, but his confidence remained intact.Hi: मीरा कह रही थी, "अरुण, हमें वापस लौटना चाहिए।En: Meera was saying, "Arun, we should go back."Hi: " लेकिन अरुण की जिद्द बढ़ती जा रही थी।En: But Arun's stubbornness was increasing.Hi: आखिरकार, वो सुंदर झरने के पास पहुंचे।En: Finally, they reached the beautiful waterfall.Hi: पानी की कलकल आवाज ने उनमें नई ऊर्जा भर दी।En: The splashing sound of the water filled them with new energy.Hi: सूरज ढल रहा था, और शाम का धुंधलका झरने पर पसरा हुआ था।En: The sun was setting, and the evening twilight was spread over the waterfall.Hi: यह दृश्य अद्भुत था, लेकिन चुनौती अब उनके सामने थी - वापसी का रास्ता कहाँ है?En: The scene was wonderful, but the challenge in front of them now was - where is the way back?Hi: मीरा ने अचानक रास्ता खोजने का बीड़ा उठा लिया।En: Suddenly, Meera took up the challenge of finding the path back.Hi: उसने स्काउट कैंप में सीखी गई दिशा खोजने की कला का सहारा लिया।En: She relied on the direction-finding art she learned at scout camp.Hi: "हम नदी की आवाज सुन सकते हैं," उसने कहा।En: "We can hear the sound of the river," she said.Hi: उसके सुझाव से वे सभी नदी की तरफ बढ़े।En: With her suggestion, they all moved towards the river.Hi: नदी के साथ चलते हुए, वह तीनों आखिरकार मुख्य मार्ग पर आ गए।En: Walking alongside the river, the three finally reached the main path.Hi: मीरा की सूझबूझ और अरुण की साहसिक सोच ने उन्हें मुश्किल से बाहर निकाला।En: Meera's wisdom and Arun's adventurous thinking got them out of the trouble.Hi: रावी ने अब समझा कि साहसिकता के साथ-साथ बुद्धिमानी की भी ज़रूरत होती है।En: Ravi now understood that along with bravery, intelligence is also necessary.Hi: इस अनुभव ने अरुण को सिखाया कि अकेला साहस ही काफी नहीं होता।En: This experience taught Arun that courage alone is not enough.Hi: टीम वर्क और तैयारी का अपना महत्व है।En: Teamwork and preparation have their own significance.Hi: मीरा की सहज बुद्धिमत्ता और ठोस सोच ने उसे नया सम्मान दिलाया।En: Meera's natural intelligence and solid thinking earned her new respect.Hi: जंगल का वह दिन, उनकी दोस्ती और समझदारी को और मजबूत कर गया।En: That day in the forest strengthened their friendship and understanding even more.

This week, Monika sits down with India's Chief Economic Adviser, Dr V. Anantha Nageswaran, for a wide-ranging conversation on governance, regulation, and the challenges of doing business in India. He explains why India must “reduce the cost of being honest,” arguing that excessive compliance and inspection norms often force even well-intentioned businesses into shortcuts. The government, he says, is consciously working to dismantle this structure through deregulation and technology-driven transparency, making it easier for citizens and firms to operate without corruption.Monika highlights the CEA's strong stance on financial mis-selling — a problem the Economic Survey 2023–24 identified as widespread in banks and insurance firms. He supports a shift toward a “seller-beware” model for retail financial products, recognising that complex instruments demand stricter accountability from sellers rather than relying on the old “buyer-beware” principle. With the Ministry of Finance and RBI preparing new rules to curb such malpractice, these changes could finally bring relief to customers misled by inappropriate product sales at bank branches.In listener questions, Ravi asks about why investments made through the RBI Retail Direct platform do not appear in NSDL-CAS statements, Rohit seeks guidance on refining his investment portfolio after returning to India from the US, and an anonymous listener from a PSU bank writes in about NPS allocation, consolidating his mother's portfolio, and whether to consider investing in SIFs.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Reducing the cost of being honest(00:00 – 00:00) Why the CEA wants banks to stop mis-selling(00:00 – 00:00) Understanding RBI Retail Direct and NSDL-CAS(00:00 – 00:00) Setting up your financial foundation after returning to India(00:00 – 00:00) Managing family portfolios and exploring new productshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAEGbvZ-3Ps&t=3516sIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at mailme@monikahalan.com Monika's book on basic money managementhttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/Monika's book on mutual fundshttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/Monika's workbook on recording your financial lifehttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/Calculatorshttps://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.htmlYou can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump's collapsing approval numbers, as new polling from The Economist shows his net rating falling to -18, the lowest it has ever been—even lower than any point in his first term. They discuss what's driving the drop, from voter fatigue to economic fallout, and what it means for Trump's reelection odds. Kander and Gupta also dive into a new Reuters report revealing the Trump family raked in over $800 million from crypto ventures in just the first half of 2025, even as Trump pardoned Binance CEO CZ Zhao in a move critics call blatant corruption, analyzing how the pardon fits into Trump's broader pattern of rewarding allies and dismantling financial oversight. Then, they turn to Washington's ongoing chaos as the government shutdown drags on, with Marjorie Taylor Greene turning on Speaker Mike Johnson and demanding Republicans unveil a real health care plan, and examine Democrats' surprising restraint in Illinois and Maryland redistricting fights, and how internal debates over power and principle are shaping both parties' futures. Plus, they break down the Senate's rare bipartisan rebuke of Trump's Brazil tariffs, a sign that even some Republicans are losing patience with his economic nationalism.

We take a trip around the Big Ten with our guy Ravi Lulla from Hurrdat Sports! Ravi gives his insight on Illinois vs Rutgers, Matt Ruhle's new contract, USC vs Nebraska, and all the other games on this weekend's slate. We need some money! Evan has those "Etched in Stone" bets for this weekend. Illini Soccer kicks off Big Ten postseason play against Ohio State.
Ravi welcomes back Tangle News founder Isaac Saul to discuss his viral essay, “Things Are Really Bad Right Now,” and why he believes recent actions should trouble Americans across the spectrum. They dig into alleged abuses in immigration enforcement, killings at sea, politicized prosecutions, and mounting pressure on the press. Isaac explains why abandoning party loyalty—and focusing only on whether leaders uphold basic principles—led him to sound the alarm, and how his mixed audience reacted. The conversation closes with a challenge: what values are we willing to defend, no matter who holds power?

How can history help make sense of U.S. President Donald Trump's foreign policy? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Greg Grandin shares how Trump's imperialist impulses may be inspired by the country's Founding Fathers, and that he “rummages around the trash bag of history to find what's useful at any given moment.” Plus, Ravi's One Thing on the recent U.S. sanctions on Russian oil companies.

Ravi Gupta and guest host Stephen Webber, filling in for Jason Kander, start with some rare good news for Democrats, breaking down Harry Enten's latest analysis showing early positive signs in New Jersey's returns and what that might mean heading into 2026. They unpack data showing Democrats cutting into the GOP's mail ballot lead, rising early vote enthusiasm, and a noticeable shift in party energy as figures like Senator Schatz test new messages aimed at revving up the base. Gupta and Webber also highlight the bizarre week for Republican leadership, as Speaker Johnson defends the president's crude social media posts and dodges questions about pardoning a January 6 rioter, while Ted Cruz stokes culture war outrage over pro-democracy protests. Meanwhile, Trump spends his days golfing, demanding DOJ payouts, and posting rants as his shutdown drags on and GOP hypocrisy explodes—from private jet subsidies to ballroom renovations. The hosts then turn to North Carolina's redistricting fight, stalled Democratic donor activity, and the brewing Maine Senate race, before diving into escalating tensions with Venezuela, confusion over U.S. beef imports, and Trump's latest chaos at the DOJ.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down JB Pritzker's sharp warning to Trump over invoking the Insurrection Act and Obama joining the “imagine if Obama did it” chorus.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the escalating tensions in Chicago and Portland as President Trump federalizes the National Guard and local leaders push back. They discuss Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's sharp rebuke of Trump's actions, Pam Bondi's inflammatory comments about Portland officials, and how the president's militarization strategy could intimidate voters ahead of the midterms. Kander and Gupta also react to a bizarre Fox News segment featuring Stephen Miller and a troubling Trump clip on Vietnam and Afghanistan, before examining new reporting on the administration's legally dubious “narco-terrorist” operations in Venezuela. Plus, they debate Democratic strategy on the government shutdown, from stalled negotiations to uncertainty over back pay for federal workers, and unpack Pam Bondi's disastrous Senate testimony as she clashes with Adam Schiff and other lawmakers.

This week, Jason Kander is joined by Paul Rieckhoff, founder and executive director of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, who is subbing in as host while Ravi travels, to break down Trump's disastrous speech in front of military generals after Pete Hegseth's “Warrior Ethos” address at Quantico, where senior commanders were summoned from across the world and greeted the remarks with stone-cold silence. They analyze Hegseth's social-media boast—“Today, we end the War on Warriors”—the awkward pauses when he expected applause, and the eerie lack of reaction from those in attendance. Kander and Rieckhoff also dive into Trump's rambling, partisan remarks that were wholly inappropriate for a military audience — including his calls to prepare military leadership to accept the use of combat troops against American citizens — and the deep questions that raises about civil-military norms. Plus, they explain the fallout from the government shutdown that began at midnight, which agencies remain open for essential functions, the White House's warning to agencies to prepare for mass firings, and what that uncertainty could mean for ordinary people.
