Bloomberg's Odd Lots hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway speak with David George, general partner at a16z and head of the firm's growth fund, about why $5 trillion in tech market cap now sits in the private markets, how that figure has grown 10x in a decade, and what it means for founders, employees, and investors.

Tara exposes what may be the largest government fraud scheme in recent U.S. history—stretching from New York to California. Fraud in Plain Sight: A trillion dollars a year in waste and abuse could balance the national budget overnight, yet it continues unchecked. From Medicare home health care to hospice programs, massive payouts are being misused—including benefits to illegal immigrants. The New Economy of Fraud: In New York, personal care services now outpace retail as the top job. In California, federal funds for hospice care and home health services are ballooning, yet patients aren't dying, and providers aren't accountable. Task Force & Accountability: JD Vance leads a new initiative to investigate and stop this fraud, promising tools both for prosecution and prevention. This episode reveals the scale of abuse in government programs, who benefits, and why taxpayers are getting shortchanged.

Preview for later today: Craig Unger explores how $40 to $60 trillion in offshore banking fuels international scandals, money laundering, and political turmoil involving figures like Trump and Putin.

In his explosive Feb 2026 interview, Peter Grandich warns the U.S. debt is exploding to $64 TRILLION—pushing interest payments to devour trillions annually. Could it mean HALF your income funneled just to service the debt? As the fiat system crumbles, Grandich reveals why "the bears lost their Battle of the Bulge" and why the COMEX has finally lost control of the gold market. "The chains have been broken," he says—and central banks aren't waiting around for permission to buy.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

The Supreme Court drops a bombshell ruling on presidential tariff authority — and the financial consequences could be massive. With estimates ranging from $175 billion to potentially $2 trillion in refunds, damages, and legal claims, businesses are lining up for repayment after tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. What does this mean for the U.S. economy, trade negotiations, and President Trump's strategy moving forward? We break down: The legal limits on presidential tariff powers The economic ripple effects now hitting Wall Street Why secondary tariffs may still survive How manufacturing is shifting back to America The geopolitical strategy behind Taiwan chip factories relocating to Arizona And a fiery Senate standoff involving Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Lindsey Graham, and Tim Scott Is this the end of tariffs as a primary economic lever? Or a strategic pivot moment? We unpack the good news, the bad news, and what happens next. ⏱ Suggested Episode Structure (45–60 min) Segment 1 – The Supreme Court Ruling (10–15 min) Court rules president cannot use emergency powers to levy tariffs Constitutional basis: Congress holds tariff authority Estimated refund exposure: $175B baseline Potential total liability: $1–2 trillion including damages and interest Lawsuits beyond refunds (harm claims, legal fees) Mention: The Wall Street Journal analysis skepticism Historical context: tariffs retained under Joe Biden Segment 2 – Secondary Tariffs & Legal Strategy (8–10 min) Use of Section 232 & 301 authorities President retains embargo power Narrow scope of ruling Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlines alternative tools Political communication missteps vs strategic unpredictability Segment 3 – Manufacturing & National Security Strategy (10–15 min) Trade deficits down Bilateral deficit with China reduced Manufacturing returning to U.S. “Build here, compete here” model 100% expensing incentives Taiwan & chip strategy: Relocation of advanced chip production from Taiwan Strategic tension with China Arizona fabrication facilities National security implications Segment 4 – Political Firestorm in the Senate (10–15 min) Election reform bill stalling Filibuster rules controversy Committee control battle Internal GOP friction Key players: Mitch McConnell John Thune Lindsey Graham Tim Scott Midterm implications (2026 outlook).

What does it actually take to automate security operations when you're processing 7 trillion log lines daily and a single missed threat could compromise billions of users? Michael Sinno, Director of Detection & Response at Google, explains how his team handles this with less than 1% requiring human intervention through strategic AI implementation. He explores Google's methodical approach to AI autonomy, including fine-tuned models trained on golden datasets, validation through overseer agents, and the critical distinction between traditional automation and agentic AI that exercises judgment. Michael also discusses groundbreaking work with Sec-Gemini and Timesketch that enables forensic analysis to surface attack patterns humans would never detect manually. Michael shares concrete metrics like reducing executive incident notifications from 30 minutes to 90 seconds, achieving 95% precision in ticket deduplication, and automating vulnerability coordination from hours to minutes. Topics discussed:Processing 7 trillion log lines daily with less than 1% of a million annual tickets requiring human intervention at GoogleStrategic evolution from AI-assisted to AI-led to autonomous security operations using fine-tuned models and golden datasetsBuilding modular detection agents as pluggable components that can be combined like Legos for specific security use casesImplementing quality assurance through overseer agents that review other agents' work to ensure precision in security decisionsReducing executive incident notifications from 30 minutes to 90 seconds using AI-powered summarization and context gatheringAchieving 95% precision in ticket deduplication while managing the trade-off between precision and 38% recall ratesIntegrating Sec-Gemini with Timesketch to surface attack patterns in forensic investigations that humans would never find manuallyShifting from traditional detection and response to infer-and-interrupt models that contain threats immediately before escalationAutomating vulnerability coordination workflows from hours to minutes through AI-powered data collection and impact analysisDistinguishing between traditional automation and agentic AI that exercises judgment rather than following if-then logicSetting a stretch goal of 70% automation in operations work while focusing humans on novel and complex security challengesMeasuring success through time-to-mitigation metrics and evaluating AI performance against human baseline capabilitiesListen to more episodes: Apple Spotify YouTubeWebsite

The global derivatives market has surged to $845 trillion — up 16% year-over-year. But the real story isn't the headline number. It's the growing use of synthetic risk transfers (SRTs) — financial tools that allow banks to offload credit risk without selling the underlying loans. In this breakdown, Taylor connects the dots between derivatives, shadow banking, liquidity stress, and what it could mean for depositors.Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

This is not about tariffs. It is about an $800 trillion wealth rotation that could reshape the global economy. Bonds are stretched, housing is capped, and deflation is disrupting everything in sight. When capital leaves traditional assets, it has to go somewhere. The question is whether Bitcoin becomes the final destination.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Silver is disappearing from the COMEX at a pace never seen before, with roughly 90 million ounces leaving in just the past four weeks, while the U.S. government continues running deficits near $2 trillion annually, proving once again that tariffs and political promises won't solve a structural debt crisis. Industrial silver supplies are tightening, ETF inventories are shrinking, and physical metal is steadily moving East. This is not normal market behavior, yet most investors remain distracted and underexposed. Listen to the full update to understand why silver's vanishing act and America's exploding deficit could be setting the stage for what comes next. 

Send a textLatinos are an economic powerhouse — and in this episode of The Global Latin Factor Podcast, host Crispin Valentin brings the receipts. Using publicly available data, we break down why Latinos are a major growth engine in the U.S. economy: U.S. Latino GDP ($4.1T in 2023), Latino consumption ($2.7T in 2023), workforce impact (19% of the U.S. civilian labor force / 31.8M in 2023), and Latino purchasing power ($4.1T). We also connect the dots on why major brands and sports leagues invest in Latino audiences—because money follows growth.Disclaimer: I'm not an attorney, financial advisor, or policy professional.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----- In this episode, I sit down with my friend Rohit Krishnan - writer of the Substack newsletter Strange Loop Canon - for a hands-on conversation about what it actually looks like to build with AI agents today. Between us we're burning through tens of billions of tokens a month - I hit nearly 100 million in a single day this week - and we share what we're each running on our own machines. We dig into the quirks and surprising power of tools like OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Cowork, debate why AI remains stubbornly bad at good writing, and zoom out to ask what a world of trillions of agents might actually look like — and what economic infrastructure it will need. We covered: (03:15) What's on your screen right now? (04:30) OpenClaw (06:27) Rohit's agent, Morpheus (11:06) Azeem's agent, R.

“Send Coach John a message”Love the thoughts and reflections being laid down like a perfect bunt - by one of the best in the game… not just the game of baseball, but the game of life! Thanks Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) for this gem: “1.3 million Earths fit inside the sun, there are 3 billion stars in our galaxy and there are 2 trillion galaxies. The nearest star aside from the sun is 4.5 light years away. And I make things about me, yes? Wow.”  When you look at the sheer numbers with this post, it sure does get me thinking about things.

The more I let this sink in, the better I feel.  I feel less pressure, less weight on my shoulders, less tension - all due to the fact that life is not just about me. When I start looking to help others, I start not only feeling better about my troubles, but I also am finding new ways to look at my issues and new ways of solving them!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Mike Kelly joins Brandon Sedloff to share the journey that took him from a first-generation college student in Queens to co-President and Chief Investment Officer of Future Standard, an $88 billion alternative investment manager. He reflects on the formative experiences that shaped his investing philosophy, from cold-calling Lee Cooperman for an internship to working at Tiger Management and helping build FrontPoint.

AI is moving faster than anyone predicted.In a massive new study analyzing 1,000 jobs and nearly 20,000 tasks, Cognizant found that 93% of jobs are already impacted by AI ... with $4.5 trillion in U.S. labor value potentially automatable today.But here's the twist: AI isn't replacing entire jobs. On average, only 39% of a role's tasks can be automated. The future isn't AI alone: it's humans plus AI. But will it be fewer humans?In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier sits down with Babak Hodjat, CTO of Cognizant, to unpack:• Why construction and transportation are seeing surprising AI growth• Why programming jobs may have hit an automation plateau• What “agentic AI” actually means — and why it matters• How management roles are more automatable than we thought• The rise of vibe coding and democratized software creation• Why compute power — not ideas — may be the biggest bottleneckWe also explore how companies can safely capture AI's upside, why training matters more than ever, and what happens when digital twins, LLMs, and human expertise combine.This isn't hype. It's a data-driven look at where AI is actually changing work right now.⸻

Why can't the UK shake its "confidence rut" despite having a £1 trillion savings buffer? How are global "populist" spending trends forcing the bond market to act as a fiscal referee?

Austin Hunt from Legal Guardian Digital helps law firms win visibility in search, and he believes the rules have already changed. Firms that still think SEO ends with Google rankings miss where cases increasingly originate: AI tools that summarize, recommend, and decide which firms people see. In this episode, Austin explains how AI systems like ChatGPT and Google Overviews decide which law firms appear, why the same signals still drive both SEO and AI visibility, and what PI firms need to change now to avoid disappearing from search altogether. You'll learn: How AI decides which law firms it recommends. Why content structure matters more than length. How directories and reviews influence AI visibility. What firms should fix now before competitors adapt. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe. We do this every week. Buy tickets for PIMCON 2026: pimcon.org Get Social!

Petros admits he won’t be touring Ivy League campuses anytime soon — and the conversation turns into a full-blown reality check on money: U.S. household debt is pushing $19 trillion, and parents feel like they’re being told they should already have a small fortune saved for college by the time their kid hits middle school. USC becomes the poster child for sticker shock, with its 2025–26 cost of attendance nearing $100,000 — and it’s even been cited as the nation’s most expensive in recent rankings. Then Tim reminds everyone: the Conway Show is heading back to nights, so it’s time to play the hits and bring back the classic chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explain why the AI revolution isn't a bubble — it's backed by unprecedented backlog growth.Highlights00:02 — There are some wild numbers being thrown around here early in 2026 as we think about the CapEx investments that the four hyperscalers — Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle — are making to build up their AI factories, their AI and cloud infrastructure to meet the incredible demand for AI training, inferencing, cloud transformations, business transformations, and more.01:28 — The money, the huge revenue, is already there, and it's growing at an incredible pace. That's why these companies are investing so much, because the market is so enormous, the potential is so huge. This number —$1.63 trillion — that's the amount of either RPO or backlog combined that those four companies have generated going forward.02:12 — The RPO backlog figures for each of these companies are: Microsoft, $625 billion, growing at 110%; Oracle, $523 billion, growing at 438%; AWS, $240 billion, up 40%; Google Cloud, $240 billion, growing at 55%. These are very fresh figures from their Q4 earnings results.03:28 — Microsoft and Google each going to spend about $185 billion in CapEx this fiscal year; AWS, $200 billion; and Oracle, about $75 billion. That totals up to $645 billion dollars in CapEx. The world has never seen anything like this. We're into unprecedented territory here.04:39 — That is money that's chasing this already committed business in RPO and backlog. This is $1.63 trillion. That's right here, right now — a snapshot of what they already have in backlog. Even if they don't come anywhere close to those growth rates, they're still showing extraordinary growth and vitality.

He breaks down a heated exchange between Pam Bondi and Thomas Massie, questions the sudden bipartisan obsession with Epstein transparency, and walks through a real-world Twitter debate that highlights just how entrenched confirmation bias has become in today's political climate. Jon also shifts gears to a sobering discussion on the federal deficit, citing projections of a $1.7 trillion shortfall and testimony alleging massive fraud tied to terrorism and trafficking. He connects the dots between runaway government spending, bureaucratic dysfunction, and why these issues should unite Americans across party lines. Plus, updates on the Fulton County affidavit, Kurt Olson's renewed access to 2020 election intelligence, federal job cuts under Trump, and a brief look at military activity near the southern border.

Day 1,446.Today, in a rare public outburst against the Trump administration, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accuses the United States of “backtracking” on the so-called Anchorage Agreement, under which Washington allegedly agreed to pressure Ukraine into ceding parts of the Donbas that Russian forces have failed to capture after nearly four years of war. We examine President Zelensky's comments suggesting that a new White House peace deadline may be linked to Donald Trump's US midterm election campaign, and report on how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is seeking to leverage the war in Ukraine to shore up domestic political support. And later, we speak to the former commander of US forces in Europe, retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, about the state of the war and how prepared Europe and NATO are for a potential Russian move on the Suwałki Gap.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Lieutenant General (Retired) Ben Hodges (former commander of US forces in Europe). @general_ben on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.
