Podcasts about Trillion

 Professor John Cochrane of the Hoover Institution attributes current inflation to the fiscal theory of the price level. He explains that massive government spending, such as the $5 trillion borrowed during COVID-19 with $3 trillion printed by the Fed, combined with no credible plan for repayment, directly causes inflation. Cochrane differentiates this from monetarism, noting that quantitative easing (printing money and taking back bonds) did not lead to inflation. He emphasizes that the 2022 inflation spike was a loss of confidence in the government's ability to pay its debts. Successful disinflations, he argues, require a combination of monetary, fiscal, and microeconomic reforms. 1920 LANGLEY AERODROME

Today's $3 trillion investment in AI is not only rational and beyond inevitable - it's “predestined”. At least according to That Was The Week newletter publisher and techno-determinist Keith Teare. Exuberance is not only required, Keith argues, but absolutely essential in today's AI mad gold rush. And he's particularly critical of all skeptics - from traditional tech naysayers (like myself) to mainstream publications like The Economist - which are all a touch questioning of today's unprecedented boom. What if the $3 trillion AI investment tsunami goes wrong? The Economist asks. But for Keith, it can't possibly go wrong. The investment has already been made, he argues, and the resultant technology will inevitably benefit humanity. He envisions a world where AI adds $20 trillion to global GDP by 2035, where a kid in rural Africa with an Android phone can access the world's best AI, and where economic growth hits an unprecedented 20% annually. I think this type of teleological argument adds up to about $3 trillion worth of madness. But what do I know?1. The Scale Defense: $3 Trillion is Actually Small Teare argues the massive AI investment looks rational when measured against projected returns - $20 trillion added to global GDP by 2035, potentially creating $400 trillion in company value (at 20x multiples). His math: even if the investment seems huge, the predicted gains are exponentially bigger.2. AI's Business Model Advantage Over Previous Tech Booms Unlike the internet (which relied on advertising and attention-grabbing) or early TV (which devolved into reality shows), AI operates on subscriptions and API usage. Teare believes this model doesn't require undermining human outcomes to generate profit - making it fundamentally different from past transformative technologies.3. Individual Failures Don't Equal Systemic Collapse While specific companies (like Perplexity at $20B valuation) might fail, Teare argues the overall AI ecosystem is "failure-proof" because trained models retain their value even if companies go bankrupt. He compares it to the Channel Tunnel - the infrastructure survived financial collapse and eventually thrived.4. The "Western Suicide Wish" Cultural Diagnosis Echoing Elon Musk and Alex Karp, Teare sees Western civilization as increasingly "ashamed" of Enlightenment values - viewing humans as problems rather than solutions. He argues AI represents a return to human agency and innovation as answers to global challenges.5. Content Creators Face a Reckoning The decline of web traffic (8% this year) signals the end of advertising-based content monetization. Creators must either embrace quality/subscription models or find ways to integrate with AI systems through attribution and linking - but the traffic-based economy is dying.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Brian Saady - The Drug War: A Trillion Dollar Con GameThis three-book series, Rackets, presents the case for the legalization of drugs and gambling, along with the decriminalization of prostitution. It reveals the underlying corruption, hypocrisy, and abuses of power associated with the prohibition of these three vices.The war on drugs is a microcosm of far greater systemic problems with criminal justice and politics. This book shines a spotlight on the bureaucratic and corporate special interests that are fighting to keep this disastrous policy in place.That's a theme of this book series -- exposing “rackets.” It denounces crony capitalists and the government "racketeers," i.e. bureaucracies, which operate similarly to organized criminals by posing as the solution to problems caused by the government. Suffice it to say, these books will prove that our political and criminal justice systems, in many ways, are inadvertently designed to fail...like rackets.The Drug War: A Trillion Dollar Con Game stands out from the crowd in a genre that is flooded with quality work. It makes it abundantly clear that criminalizing drugs has been an abysmal failure. Furthermore, practical and evidence-based solutions are presented.However, what sets this book apart is that it strips away every disingenuous aspect of the war on drugs. It's the perfect antidote to decades of government propaganda. There are too many stunning revelations to list. You'll discover all of the ways in which in the war on drugs serves as a pretense for expanding government power and our military forces abroad. Also, several major corporations and government agencies have been complicit in flagrant drug trafficking without being held accountable.This is explosive subject matter and Brian Saady's writing provides compelling, definitive analysis that is backed by extensive academic research. You'll never look at the drug war, and many other issues, the same way as before.https://amzn.to/4ggAZMPBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

“You don't know who your bank is in bed with,” says Mitch Vexler, whistleblower and expert on property valuations.

Long regarded as frumpy financial vehicles, certificates of deposit are playing a huge role in a volatile marketplace. But how do local and regional banks compete with the big dogs and win?

Ghost takes listeners on a sweeping journey from Africa's mineral wars to China's bold calls for a new global system. He breaks down Trump's quiet role in negotiating peace in the Congo through Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, Massad Boulos, exposing how decades of corruption, Israeli diamond cartels, and corporate exploitation left $24 trillion in minerals at the center of global conflict. Ghost explains how Rwanda-backed militias, black-market smuggling, and coups tie directly to deep state networks, while Qatar positions itself as the world's new mediator. Shifting to China, he unpacks the SCO summit where Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un, and Iran's president pledged multipolar cooperation against Western hegemony, with Trump's tongue-in-cheek Truth Social posts adding another layer of intrigue. From Ebola outbreaks in the Congo to Putin's Arctic deals and Kim's pledge to Russia, Ghost connects the dots between cartels, coups, and competing world orders. A dense, fiery episode that blends history, geopolitics, and narrative warfare into one.

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This has been a career-defining stretch for Post Malone, marked by major headlines and bold crossovers. Beginning this month, his most headline-grabbing moment came as he stormed the Paris fashion scene with the official launch of Austin Post Apparel, his personal fashion line. Transforming the historic Hôtel de Bourdon—once home to Karl Lagerfeld—into a cowboy-chic runway, Malone debuted his collection Season One: At First Light with a full Southwestern and Dallas Western aesthetic, blending rugged denim, leather, bandanas, and turquoise into streetwear. Lucchese Bootmaker provided the footwear and, true to form, the show's finale featured a live horse walking the runway—a move widely covered and described as genius for its juxtaposition of Texan roots with Parisian high fashion. Texas Monthly, People, KERA, and other style outlets reported on the event, noting how Malone closed out the evening himself, dressed in denim and a white cowboy hat, beaming as the crowd applauded. He told reporters creating the label was ‘really special' and something he'd always wanted to do.This fashion move follows a year where Malone's pivot to country music reached full throttle. His first country album, F-1 Trillion, released in August 2024, topped charts and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album—a rare feat for a crossover. Malone's deliberate and respectful approach to entering country has paid off, with accolades from The Tennessean and widespread Nashville acceptance. Recently, his campaign with Kim Kardashian's SKIMS sent waves through social media, thanks to his playful cowboy aesthetic and mountain-themed photo shoot, further cementing his Western bonafides.Business-wise, Post continues to diversify. Fortune reports that he's joined fellow musician Diplo as a lead investor in Sesh, a new nicotine pouch startup. Sesh just secured 40 million dollars in funding to take on brands like Zyn, touting a product developed by the original Zyn creator. This investment underscores Malone's ongoing strategy of attaching his brand to trending, disruptive products.Socials remain strong: while HypeAuditor notes his Instagram following slipped slightly to 27 million in recent weeks, his posts—especially around fashion and music—continue drawing high engagement, with an average of 142 thousand likes per post.On the touring front, Time Out London and other major outlets reported that Malone's "Big Ass World Tour" finale dates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium had to be postponed from September 7 and 8 to later this month, due to London's tube strike. Fans are eagerly holding onto their tickets, and resale demand is high, underscoring Malone's international draw.All told, in just the past week alone, Post Malone has solidified his emergence not just as a country music star, but as a creative and business force equally at home on the runway, in the studio, and in the boardroom.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Elon Musk reportedly received a new pay package offering from Tesla (TSLA) that could be worth $1 TRILLION. Tom White discusses the technical patterns taking shape for the EV maker. He looks back to the 2018 levels (far below current prices) to demonstrate the longer-term upward move in shares, before turning to a 1-year chart that illustrates the big post-2024 election pullback in shares. Tom says Elon Musk going back to his company to "right the ship" could be showing the recent consolidation patterns on the chart. Later, Tom composes an example options trade using a call vertical strategy.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

It's wonderful to see how God has changed President Trump.Episode Links:America will only benefit from Dr. Demetre Daskalakis resigning from the CDC. During the 2023 monkey pox outbreak, he said the Biden admin aims to "support peoples' joy as opposed to calling them 'risky'": "One person's idea of risk is another person's idea of a great festival or Friday night."JD Vance on the Minnesota shooting: This happens too much in our country. If you look, we have a mental health crisis. We take way more psychiatric medication than any other nation... If you're the praying type, join me in prayer JUST IN: RFK Jr. launched a FULL INVESTIGATION into the meds the trans Minneapolis shooter was using. “There's never been a time in America… where people walk into a crowd or a church or a movie theater or a school and just start randomly shooting.” “SOMETHING changed, and it dramatically changed human behavior.” The public deserves to know! I guarantee there are many similarities in the meds each of these mass shooters were on, but it's been covered up until now.Two Massive Studies Show SSRIs Increase Homicidal Behavior & Violent Crime; As autistic transgender school shooters multiply, RFK Jr. is probing whether SSRIs — used by ~40% of trans individuals — are fueling the bloodshed.Attorney exposes COVID as a “man-made fraud” in which “$15 TRILLION dollars changed hands.” Listen carefully to what @RenzTom says here.“The doctors in Texas said it's a dangerous drug, they said it was a drug for animals…”  -- Full-on ignorance on display from @RolandForTexas, holding notes from the Texas Medical Association. @SenBobHall handled him well.

My discussion with Ryan Tanaka, host of Neura pod about the rise of LLMs and how Neuralink will enable humans to communicate in new ways with AI. At first I was a Neuralink skeptic, but after realizing how much better it could make my life and the potential use cases, I've slowly come to the realization that I will probably get a brain chip in my lifetime, scary, but exciting. What are your thoughts on this upcoming sci-fi future? Will you be getting a Neuralink?Ryan Tanaka's channel on Neuralink, Neura Pod:    / @neurapod   0:00 Intro1:56 Rise of LLMs, Tying is too slow6:20 Where is Neuralinks technology today?

David Waldman and KITM are back to begin the month that will most likely end with a government shutdown, which sounds bad only if you consider what we have now to be better than nothing. Donald K. Trump cancelled $4.9B in foreign aid under the Presidential “Taksies Backsies” Rule. Many say that he can't do that. Only 5 are actually required to say that he can do that. Trump says that he captured $8 Trillion in tariff revenue, which would have been much bigger had he'd been able to pronounce the names of numbers bigger than a trillion. Trump also stated that Washington DC is crime free and that he's never felt better. That's why the stock market doesn't seem to mind. Things are never what Trump says, he'll always TACO, and there'll always be somebody in the Fed to protect them.   US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick has nepo babied investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, which has his sons become richer with every TACO Trump serves. RFK Jr. knows mitochondria like Trump knows blockchain, in that they know that their ignorance will only kill you.

America has lived with a chronic trade deficit since 1974 — and the cost has been staggering. Kerry Lutz and Spencer Morrison unpack how over 60,000 factories have closed and more than 5 million manufacturing jobs have vanished, while nearly $10 trillion has been drained from the U.S. economy through China's subsidies, intellectual property theft, and unfair trade practices. They reveal how free trade's short-term benefits have hollowed out the American industrial base, funneled wealth into Wall Street, and left workers behind. The conversation dives into tariffs, reshoring, the paradox of free trade, and whether AI can help rebuild America's economic strength — or if the damage is already too deep.

US Mainstream Media and politicians keep saying US 'defense' spending annual is about $850 billion. Why that's just an initial budget proposal and just for Pentagon spending. Today's show shows what US annual actual defense (e.g. war) spending is $2 trillion a year. The show then reviews the condition of the USA and EU economies and why GDPs are much lower than reported. A quick review of emerging global conflicts is also reported in Venezuela, Armenia-Iran, India, etc.

The software that powers 25% of India's e-commerce transactions, processes a billion orders each year, and in 2025 alone fulfilled 20 million quick-commerce orders: Unicommerce sits at the core of India's digital retail ecosystem. It is one of the few SaaS companies from India to go public, doing so after nearly a decade of steady growth without fresh primary capital until its IPO in 2024.In this episode of The Neon Show, we sit down with Kapil Makhija, CEO of Unicommerce, the company quietly running India's $60B E-retail market (set to hit $2 Trillion in the next two decades). The conversation goes beyond the company's journey to unpack how perceptions of Indian SaaS customers are changing: from the old belief that they “don't pay” to a more nuanced reality where they value communication, support expectations, and long-term relationships define success.We also look ahead to the future of SaaS in India: from the impact of AI, to the challenges of scaling from zero to $100M, to the balance between pricing and value, and identifying the sectors most ready for building large SaaS companies.This episode is for anyone curious about the story of SaaS in India, from how it is being built, scaled & the opportunities ahead.00:00 – Trailer01:15 – India makes you product-ready & pressure-tested03:45 – GTM: India doesn't reward size, it rewards focus05:00 – Joining Unicommerce the week Snapdeal acquired it10:10 – Digital-first brands vs. traditional brands12:36 – Why Excel and manual ops were the real competition?14:25 – The acquisition of Shipway17:02 – How will the company achieve 1000 Cr Revenue?19:40 – How the decision to go public was made23:40 – Success in SaaS isn't sign-ups, it's retention29:31 – The myth that Indian customers don't pay33:30 – Do Indian customers want Enterprise support but SMB pricing?36:40 – The impact of AI on SaaS39:10 – Founder vs. CEO: Is there a difference?47:29 – White spaces in e-commerce waiting to be built50:35 – Q-commerce vs. E-commerce: where are brands betting?52:07 – How SaaS companies decide if they're IPO-ready?55:10 – Can India build billion-dollar SaaS companies at home?58:15 – How long does the 0 → $100M journey really take?01:01:15 – How to build a ₹100 Cr SaaS company today?01:09:53 – Are pricing advantages in SaaS sustainable?01:12:22 – How much do brands actually spend on tech?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

“I started noticing something was off in home appraisals,” says Mitch Vexler, whistleblower and expert on property valuations. He tells Daniela Cambone: “They were inflating property values to jack up taxes, and that was feeding into trillions in school bond debt that I believe will spiral.”On the scope of the problem, Vexler is blunt: “We're talking about $5.1 trillion in school bonds that are based on these inflated appraisals. That's massive—this is a ticking time bomb for local governments and taxpayers alike.” He warns of consequences for the bond market: “School districts are relying on this debt, and if the real numbers catch up, there's no way they can sustain these payments. We're looking at a potential collapse if nothing changes.” ✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.
