In dieser Folge aus der Serie "SPEZIAL Was lernen wir durch Trump?" widmet sich Gast-Host Michel Reimon dem Milliardär Peter Thiel, der Strömung der „dunklen Aufklärung“ und ihrer Rolle im politischen Projekt von Donald Trump – mit Blick auf Auswirkungen auf Europa und Österreich. Der Theologe Wolfgang Palaver schildert seine dreißigjährige Gesprächsbeziehung zu Thiel und verteidigt die Idee, Thiel öffentlich kritisch zu befragen, um Widersprüche und Gefahren seiner antidemokratischen Positionen sichtbar zu machen, statt ihn symbolisch „auszuladen“. Claudia Zettel hält dem entgegen, dass Thiels Ablehnung von Demokratie, Frauenwahlrecht und Gleichberechtigung längst offen dokumentiert sei und öffentliche Bühnen ihn eher normalisieren als entlarven. Im Zentrum steht die Ideologie der „dunklen Aufklärung“, die Gleichwertigkeit und Demokratie verwirft, technokratische CEO-Herrschaft und radikale technologische Beschleunigung propagiert und in libertären wie rechtsautoritären Netzwerken verankert ist. Die Runde diskutiert, wie Tech-Eliten wie Thiel, Elon Musk und andere Silicon-Valley-Akteure rechtspopulistische Bewegungen in den USA und Europa fnanzieren oder instrumentalisieren und damit Regulierungen, insbesondere der EU, zu unterlaufen versuchen. Aus europäischer Perspektive werden Versäumnisse bei Digitalisierung, KI, Plattformregulierung und strategischer Souveränität thematisiert, von der Abhängigkeit von US-Techkonzernen über Rüstungspolitik bis hin zur verschleppten Energiewende. Palaver und Zettel sprechen darüber, wie sich Europas Demokratien zwischen Effzienzversprechen des Marktes und dem politischen Anspruch auf Gleichheit und Solidarität behaupten können, ohne in nationalstaatlichem Kleinklein stecken zu bleiben. Am Ende verweist Palaver auf sein Buch „Medienmassen“ im Karl-Auer-Verlag zur technologisch-medialen Revolution und der Dunkelaufklärung und die Notwendigkeit, dem ideologischen Projekt der Tech-Eliten eine selbstbewusste, europäische demokratische Antwort entgegenzusetzen.

Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver return for another episode of Kliq This, and the boys are pulling absolutely no punches. The basketball world takes center stage early on as Kevin airs his major grievances regarding the current state of the NBA playoffs. From questionable coaching decisions to baffling gameplay in recent matchups, listeners will find out exactly why the big man is ready to completely tap out on watching the rest of the finals. The conversation also takes a fascinating detour into the unsung historical figures who truly built Las Vegas and the surprising origins of Detroit's wealthiest natives. The discussion takes a thought-provoking turn as the duo dives into the complex debate of separating the art from the artist. Prompted by recent documentaries and biopics, Kevin and Sean examine the complicated legacy of Michael Jackson and debate whether it is possible to enjoy a creator's work despite their controversial personal life. The guys also tackle the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, questioning the lack of societal guardrails on technology that could permanently alter the future. Plus, expect a nostalgic trip down memory lane as they reflect on the golden age of American car manufacturing. No episode would be complete without some inside perspective on the professional wrestling business. Kevin shares his unfiltered thoughts on CM Punk taking some well-deserved time away from the ring and addresses recent rumors of creative stagnation in the industry. The hosts also answer burning questions from the 11 Soft Club, including a theoretical look at Bill Goldberg's notorious heel turn in WCW. Finally, the beloved advice segment returns with Kevin offering his highly unique perspective to listeners navigating incredibly sticky family dynamics and deep political divides.

On June 12, 2026, SpaceX completed the largest initial public offering in history, raising $75 billion and officially debuting on the Nasdaq. This monumental financial event propelled Elon Musk to become the world's first trillionaire as the company's valuation soared to $2.1 trillion by the end of its first trading day. Investment experts and analysts highlight that while the stock saw a nearly 20% surge, the listing was characterized by unprecedented scale and strategic scarcity engineering by lead underwriters like Goldman Sachs. Beyond the financial figures, the sources emphasize how SpaceX's affordable launch costs and Starlink satellite business are establishing the critical infrastructure for a new era of space-based innovation and AI data centers. While the debut was a massive success, market commentators warn that historical data suggests long-term volatility for high-valuation IPOs once initial investor lockup periods expire. This historic milestone reflects a significant shift in global capital markets and solidifies the company's dominance in the burgeoning commercial space industry.
Rocket ships. AI chips. Chinese food. Clothing. Construction. Chatbots. America's self-made women billionaires have found dozens of ways to prosper. In our first listing focusing just on those with 10-figure fortunes, Forbes found 43 self-made queens of capitalism, up from 38 a year ago as many of their businesses hit new highs. That's despite the passing of two legendary women, Gap cofounder Doris Fisher (d. May 2026 at age 94) and Bio-Rad Laboratories' Alice Schwartz (d. September 2025, 99). Among the new billionaires are Beyonce Carter-Knowles, who climbs into the ranks on the back of her 2025 Cowboy Carter Tour; Nvidia CFO Colette Kress, who's benefitting from the AI boom; Caryn Seidman-Becker, who runs Clear Secure, an ID technology outfit used for security checkpoints at airports, among other places; and Luana Lopes Lara, the 30-year-old Brazilian ballerina and MIT graduate who cofounded prediction market firm Kalshi.

Larry Ellison's fortune declined by more than $10 billion on Tuesday, dropping him behind Jeff Bezos to the No. 5 spot among the wealthiest as Oracle shares stumbled amid another broad decline for tech stocks. Shares of Oracle dropped by more than 4% as of Tuesday afternoon, extending losses of 17% over the last week, as other tech stocks headlined declines across the stock market, including Marvell (11.5%), AMD (7.2%), Micron (5.9%), Apple (3.8%) and Nvidia (2.6%). The latest intraday slide for Oracle lowered Ellison's net worth by $10.4 billion, valued at $249.7 billion, ranking him behind Amazon's Bezos ($252 billion) and Google cofounders Sergey Brin ($272.7 billion) and Larry Page ($295.6 billion), according to Forbes' Real-Time Billionaires list.

You've heard it said a hundred times: Spend the money, make the memories, don't die with regret. However, for certain kinds of retirees, dying as the richest person in the graveyard isn't a tragedy at all. The comfort of simply having the money can be worth more than anything you'd ever buy with it. Today, we begin with an article, The Many Utilities of Retirement, which talks about RPIG (the Richest Person In the Graveyard) versus FORO (the Fear of Running Out of money). It's an interesting look at the juxtaposition. After that, a question - listener that calls himself the millionaire next door — he'll never spend what he's saved, it's all headed to the kids and grandkids, and yet he still mows his own lawn and changes his own oil. He wants to loosen up and spend a little more… but he also kind of loves the life he's already got. So what do you tell a guy like that? I'll give you my take. And we wrap up the show with our Retire To Something segment.

Our text for this 1934 RKO Studios Year by Year episode is a William A. Seiter double feature distinguished by ultra-manipulative heroines and a simultaneous fascination with and unsubtle criticism of the rich: the comedy We're Rich Again, which earns a comparison to Preston Sturges for its innovative use of comedy tropes (particularly the high-concept heroine, brilliantly embodied by Marian Nixon), and the comedy-melodrama The Richest Girl in the World, with a demented Jamesian plot courtesy of noted screenwriter Norman Krasna and Miriam Hopkins in the title role. If Marian Nixon is playing six-dimensional chess with her wealthy relatives, Miriam Hopkins is moving her friends and love interest around like chess pieces. If that's not enough, we're also introducing a new segment in this episode: So This Is Sarris! (Dave's title; Elise wanted "Sarris It Ain't So!") In this Letterman-inspired segment, we use AI to randomly pick an entry from Andrew Sarris's The American Cinema and then riff on his opinion of the director. Who's our first director?

Prof Vally Padayachee:Big Trouble at ulility providing power in SA's Richest City by Radio Islam
Let me ask you something. What if the presidents your history textbook told you were the greatest ones, Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, were ranked that high precisely because they were the most useful to the people who write the rankings? What if the scorched earth tactics American soldiers carried out across Mexico, the American South, the Philippines, Dresden, and Fallujah were never aberrations, never the fog of war, never isolated incidents, but standing orders that got passed down from one conflict to the next and never rescinded? What if the man history handed you as the father of the New Deal was simultaneously building the first modern censorship apparatus in American political history, pressuring radio stations, newspaper editors, and magazine publishers to remove anyone who dared criticize his administration? Donald Jeffries has been asking those questions since he was a teenager sitting in Mark Lane's townhouse, lobbying Congress to reopen the Kennedy assassination investigation. That was the mid-1970s. He never stopped. In the 50 years since, he has built a body of work that no establishment institution will acknowledge and that hundreds of thousands of people have sought out anyway. Ten books. Hidden History. Survival of the Richest. Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics with a foreword by Ron Paul. Bullyocracy. On Borrowed Fame. Pipe the Bimbo in Red, his deep investigation into the New Orleans network at the center of the Kennedy assassination, co-written with the foremost expert on the medical evidence in the case. And now American Memory Hole: How the Court Historians Promote Disinformation, published by Skyhorse in 2024, the most comprehensive reckoning with what the official historical record actually is and who it actually serves. Tonight we go to the U.S.-Mexican War, where American troops first turned civilian targeting into official doctrine. We go to the Civil War, where primary source letters from Union officers brag about the gold and silver they stole from Southern women on the march to the sea. We go to Woodrow Wilson, the first public eugenicist in American political history, whose physician in charge of forced sterilization programs later appeared inside a Nazi concentration camp. We go to World War I, reframed not as a response to the death of Archduke Ferdinand but as a currency war that elevated the dollar above the British pound and killed millions of men to do it. We go to Joseph McCarthy, the man history handed you as a villain, stripped tonight of the Hollywood blacklisting he had nothing to do with, restored as a decorated combat veteran, as the first public figure to say Roosevelt knew Pearl Harbor was coming, as a man who died at 48 in a naval hospital with no autopsy and no explanation that holds up. We go to James Forrestal, the first prominent critic of Israel, pushed out of a window at Bethesda Naval Hospital, with McCarthy publicly naming it as murder, before McCarthy checked into that same hospital and never came back out. And we go to Dallas. To the document McGeorge Bundy drafted on the day of the assassination, before the president was dead, reversing Kennedy's Vietnam withdrawal order. To the 9:39 PM phone call in the JFK Jr. case, confirmed on unedited Coast Guard footage and then scrubbed from the official record. To the New Orleans network of Dean Andrews and Clay Shaw and David Ferrie, and the ground-level conspiracy that Jim Garrison spent his career and reputation trying to expose.
Norway is on its way to becoming one of the richest countries in the world, thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves. The country has been smart about managing its wealth by investing profits from oil into a huge savings fund, known as the Government Pension Fund Global, which is now worth over a trillion dollars. Norway also has a strong welfare system, providing free healthcare and education to its citizens. Even though the country is rich in resources, it's also a leader in renewable energy, working toward a greener future. The state encourages innovation, creating new jobs in tech and sustainable industries. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Mackay Gold & Silver has a consolidated land package within the Comstock mining district, says CEO and Director Darwin Green, who spoke to Mining Stock Daily on Wednesday. While the region is historically significant for its high-grade gold and silver production, Green said that modern exploration was limited by fragmented property ownership. The company has since unified over 7 km of the Comstock and Occidental-Brunswick vein structures, allowing for a systematic exploration strategy targeting both near-surface and deep-seated deposits.

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the 49-year-old billionaire founder of Binance, has written a memoir. It arrives with the unmistakable timing of a man determined to tell the world his version of his meteoric crypto rise and fall, and foreshadow his comeback. The book, Freedom of Money: A Memoir of Protecting Users, Resilience, and the Founding of Binance, runs 364 pages, self-published in English and Chinese, and is available on Amazon Kindle for $9.99, where it's already ranked #4 among all Kindle books. The book traces Zhao's path from rural China to Canada, then through jobs in Tokyo, New York and Shanghai, and finally to building Binance, the crypto exchange that grew with extraordinary speed into the largest in the world. Zhao also recounts Binance's long battle with U.S. regulators, the company's record $4.3 billion settlement over anti-money-laundering and other charges, his four-month prison sentence in California, where he says he began writing the book, and his recent pardon by President Trump. He says the memoir is for readers who know him only from headlines, for those who have followed him for years, and for anyone curious how one founder could help shape an industry "and pay for it." Like most memoirs, this one is an exercise in selection and emphasis. The glowing and inspiring portrait Zhao assembles is of a man philosophically untouched by his success. Forbes estimates his fortune at roughly $110 billion, placing him ahead of Bill Gates. But wealth, he insists, was never the point. "I don't care about money," he writes. "I don't care about power. I don't care about fame. I don't even care about legacy." As evidence of his selflessness, Zhao cites charitable efforts such as Giggle Academy, his nonprofit education platform, and includes a foreword from Yi He, Binance's cofounder and the mother of his three children. She says even after Binance became a global juggernaut, Zhao still wore clothes ordered from Amazon, biked to meetings and drove an old Toyota minivan. Yet the book is equally intent on establishing Zhao firmly within the world's power circles. He writes of traveling the world and being received by political leaders and royalty, from Saudi Arabia's de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to the king of Bhutan, who contributed praise for the book alongside Ray Dalio and Larry Fink. The anecdotes that follow serve the same function. Binance invested $500 million in X in 2022 — "a finger in the air number," as Zhao puts it — after little financial analysis and a brief conversation with Elon Musk. Thanks to its corporate reshuffling, Zhao adds, Binance wound up with a small stake in SpaceX, which will soon IPO with an astronomical valuation as high as $2 trillion. When Bahrain's central bank governor complained that ChatGPT was blocked in his country, Zhao writes that he reached out to Sam Altman and had the matter resolved the following day. Forbes appears numerous times in his memoir—sometimes as a marker of validation, sometimes as a source of grievance. Zhao recalls a 2017 Hong Kong photo shoot that put him on the cover, Binance hoodie and all, prompting him to turn to a friend and ask, "Does this mean I'm rich?" He writes that he considered a $200 million investment in Forbes in 2022, a deal that never materialized. And then there is the 2020 "Tai Chi" article, Forbes' report on an alleged scheme by Binance to evade U.S. regulators. Zhao casts it as part of the machinery closing in on him, suggesting prosecutors may have tipped off the reporter and later used the piece to help open an investigation. Binance sued Forbes for defamation over the article, but then dropped its lawsuit three months later. The book is at its most interesting when details slip in sideways. Zhao describes a friendly relationship with Gary Gensler before Gensler became chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. By Nina Bambysheva Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever had that feeling in your gut, when you suddenly realize that the person you're talking with might have a screw or two loose? What about when you're the one others are trying to slowly back away from at the punch bowl? The question of who's the real nut often arises for us collapse-aware folks living here in Crazy Town. Since Mr. Peanut is no longer returning their phone calls, Rob, Jason, and Asher invite Douglas Rushkoff, media theorist, professor, and host of the Team Human Podcast to answer the question. In this far ranging conversation, they discuss why “leveling down” might be the best strategy for navigating late stage capitalism and bringing ourselves back into right relationship with each other and the planet.

Why is the USA waging war on Iran? It's not just because of Israel. Washington wants to control the oil of the Middle East (West Asia) to maintain the petrodollar system. The Trump admin fears the dedollarization movement's challenge to the global reserve currency, which is the US empire's most powerful tool. Ben Norton explains.
