We welcome Citizen Action's newly endorsed Governor candidate, State Representative Francesca Hong, to discuss her historic campaign and why Citizen Action members endorsed her in a crowded field of strong candidates. Following the latest tick report, we dig into the Wisconsin Election Commission finding Elon Musk likely broke the law with $1 million voter checks and referred him to the Brown County District Attorney for criminal investigation and possible prosecution. Does the Brown County DA have the resources to take on a Trillionaire? Finally, we expose the utilities seeking to halt open bidding competition for new power line projects, and billions in proposed rate increases this year alone.
Elon Musk is now officially a trillionaire, and some people are now officially mad.Where is Elon keeping all this money, and why hasn't he given any of it to me? Find the answer to this and other pressing questions by joining in!
Send us Fan MailEveryone wants to become a trillionaire.Almost nobody wants to pay the price.Extreme success demands extreme sacrifice. It costs time, comfort, relationships, and years of relentless focus that most people will never see.In this episode, we break down what it really takes to build at the highest level, why mission comes before comfort, and the trade-offs that come with chasing something extraordinary.Would you be willing to sacrifice comfort for a chance at building something that outlives you?Accountability is leverage.#AnthonyAmen #AccountabilityIsLeverage #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #MindsetSupport the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com
Is personal finance rigged against ordinary people? Economists John Campbell and Tarun Ramadorai argue the system rewards the wealthy and financially savvy at the expense of everyone else. Their book Fixed points to a troubling pattern: the fees you avoid by never overdrafting, or by refinancing on time, are paid for by people who don't, and they warn that the resulting resentment is fueling political discontent. But there is a tension at the heart of their argument. They don't want the government running finance or setting prices, yet they call for far more muscular rules. So what exactly are they proposing, and why do they insist it would expand your choices rather than limit them? Connect with us:

Well, first, is this what her daughter wants? Then, a stereotypical redhead needs help calming down. Fireworks are coming back to the Golden Gate Bridge! The US stadiums are competing for the “best” place to watch the World Cup. It's carnival season! Sarah has perfected pancakes; It is known. This sparks a conversation about the gang's last meal.

Why Socialists Hate That Elon Musk Is a Trillionaire
FF: What is a Trillionaire? What does it mean to be a trillionaire? Bernie Sanders said that no one should be one of these. Elon Musk is our first trillionaire, but he doesn't have a trillion dollars sitting in a bank account. He owns companies that together are valued at that amount. If he had to cash out to pay a large portion in taxes, what would it do to the stock market and people's retirement accounts? Today we talk about what politicians and legacy media claim, how Europeans are realizing that what they see in the U.S. doesn't match what they were being told, and how becoming educated can help you discern the actual truth even when someone is trying to give you bad information. We also talk about FEMA, permits, gas prices, and why it would be difficult to physically invade the U.S. This episode is about more than finances. It is also about freedom and liberty.

You know when you scroll past another headline about Elon Musk, and a part of you can't help but wonder—is the system REALLY this unfair… or are we just missing something? In this episode, we're diving into the wild story of how Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire, why so many people immediately called it a crime, and what's actually broken in our economy (hint: it's not what you think). If you're sick of feeling like the game is rigged and want to REALLY understand what's going on behind the scenes—buckle up.We're breaking down how money truly works, what inflation is doing to your daily life, and why regular folks like Juan, a SpaceX welder turned millionaire, prove there's actually more opportunity than most of us realize. Plus, you'll get the brutal truth about modern financial systems, AI hype, market manipulation, and why those “burn it all down” hot takes are more destructive than you think.What's up, everybody?

Executive Summary The world's first trillionaire is now a fact, and Kim Butler isn't impressed by the headline. In this episode of the Prosperity Podcast, Kim and Spencer use that cultural moment as a springboard for a deeper conversation about what actually matters in personal finance: cash flow, not net worth, and actual returns, not averages. Kim reframes the trillionaire story through the lens of inflation, pointing out that a million dollars in the 1930s would be worth roughly $16 million today. The obsession with crossing arbitrary wealth thresholds, whether a million, a billion, or a trillion, distracts people from the number that genuinely drives financial security: monthly cash flow in and out. Kim explains how even small shifts in how a family manages cash flow, both on the way up the financial mountain and on the way down, can produce dramatic long-term results. The conversation then turns to rate of return, the middle ground where many people get stuck. Kim dismantles the popular myth of "average" returns by showing how average and actual are two very different things mathematically. A 25% average return can produce 0% actual gain for your dollars, depending on the sequence of years. That is the crack in conventional financial thinking that opens people up to a cash flow framework and, ultimately, to tools like whole life insurance that offer certainty and day-to-day usability rather than locking money away for decades.

[00:02:47 - 00:04:23] Spencer and Kim discuss how wealthy people use loans against assets rather than liquidating, and why cash flow is the real measuring stick. [00:04:23 - 00:06:06] Kim explains the "mountain" metaphor: cash flow going up (accumulation) and coming down (distribution), and why net worth distracts from both. [00:06:06 - 00:07:08] Kim contrasts whole life insurance with traditional retirement accounts, showing how one impacts daily cash flow and the other doesn't. [00:07:08 - 00:08:05] Spencer asks: what is the first step to shift someone from net worth thinking to cash flow thinking? [00:08:05 - 00:10:22] Kim introduces rate of return as the middle ground and dismantles the average vs. actual returns myth with real numbers. [00:10:22 - 00:12:53] Kim recommends Busting Budgeting Lies for the accumulation phase and Live Your Life Insurance Part 2 for the distribution phase.
Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories we covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. Jim Geraghty was on vacation, so we heard from very capable guest hosts, including Jim's National Review colleague, Charlie Cooke. This week Charlie and Greg discuss three stories that suggest many on the left are losing their grip on reality, including Jim Acosta's absurd analysis of Trump's name being removed from the John F. Kennedy Center, the left's meltdown over Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire, a new poll highlighting the huge partisan divide over patriotism, and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson wishing he still paid taxes in Texas.First, they cover the left's obsession over the removal of President Trump's name from the Kennedy Center. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta compared it to the fall of the Berlin Wall and called it “a sign that humankind can stand up against tyranny.”Next, they rip Democrats for their hysterical reaction following the SpaceX IPO, with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Ellizabeth Warren rushing to demand wealth taxes as soon as Musk crossed the trillion-dollar mark. Charlie condems the left's tendency towards punishing success and stifling ambition. Then, they comment on a new NBC poll on American patriotism showing the stark difference in responses between Republicans and Democrats. Pride in America among Democrats seems to be largely dependent upon the occupant of the White House. As an immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen, Charlie explains how disgraceful that thinking is. Finally, Charlie and Greg delight in a clip of NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who after delivering the New York Knicks their first championship in 53 years, admitted, “I miss the Texas taxes.” Texas does not tax personal income, while New York has one of the nation's highest tax burdens.Please visit our great sponsors:BetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

In this series, Jeff & Andy dive into a mix of useless facts, myths, forgotten stories, and strange truths.In this episode, Jeff shares the history behind the Juneteenth holiday, and Andy shares a perspective about Elon Musk's trillionaire status and the “seed police” that have been made relevant by Monsanto patenting agricultural seeds.This series is brought to you by the amazing Cedar Run Decoys.
Discover how a trillionaire thinks about money. Elon Musk has a different way of looking at money and some interesting projections about money in the future. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle. If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.

Coming up, the UK follows Australia's lead in introducing age-related restrictions on social media. But do they work? Plus, how biologists are fighting infection from inside cells; researchers trace the origins of cotton to Mexico; and Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire. How might he spend his fortune?

If every billionaire is a policy failure, then the world's first trillionaire is a far more serious omen of collapse. We spend this episode talking about Muskism, reflecting on an economy that is racing in two very opposite directions, and considering the broader public (non-)response and social ramifications of the Age of the Trillionaire. ••• Elon Musk Becomes the World's First Trillionaire https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/technology/elon-musk-trillionaire.html ••• Wages Are Falling.

Liz Peek discusses Elon Musk's potential trillionaire status, highlighting his massive contributions through SpaceX and Tesla. She defends his wealth creation as a product of capitalist grit and innovation, contrasting it with socialist critiques. Peek emphasizes how Musk's projects, including orbital data centers, advance technology for global society. (1)
Elon Musk is being called the first trillionaire, and the left immediately demanded a piece of money that mostly exists on paper. Trump's leaked Iran deal may be peace, but it also raises the question: what was the war for? In this Good Morning Liberty breakdown, Nate and Chuck dig into the leaked 14-point Iran memorandum, JD Vance's role in selling the deal, sanctions relief, frozen Iranian funds, the $300 billion peace package, and Trump's frustration with Israel over Lebanon. Then the guys turn to Elon Musk, SpaceX, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, wealth inequality, paper wealth, unrealized gains, worker equity, government spending, national debt interest, and why socialist envy keeps blaming producers instead of the state.

In this episode, Scott Becker reflects on Elon Musk's rise to a trillion-dollar net worth.
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we pose the question: Does Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire take dollars out of America's economic cash-flow? Actually it's the opposite effect. Billionaires (and one trillionaire) creates jobs and stimulates the economy. Wal Mart and Amazon being just two examples. Now that the world has one trillionaire, we will see how the markets and the economic landscape will be affected (if at all). Also audio from comedian Jimmy Carr on "life dysmorphia" / and valuing life and what we have vs. aspiring to create an insurmountable amount of money.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they react to the left's meltdown over Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire, the media's shock that World Cup tourists haven't found the South to be an inhospitable wasteland, a new poll highlighting the partisan divide over patriotism, and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson wishing he still paid taxes in Texas.First, they rip Democrats for their hysterical reaction following the SpaceX IPO, with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Ellizabeth Warren rushing to demand wealth taxes as soon as Musk crossed the trillion-dollar mark. Charlie condems the left's tendency towards punishing success and stifling ambition. Next, Charlie and Greg laugh at leftist media figures like USA Today's Christine Brennan being shocked that World Cup tourists were shown excellent hospitality in the American South. The perception of America as dangerous and unwelcoming is proving to be no more than a media lie. Then, they comment on a new NBC poll on American patriotism showing the stark difference in responses between Republicans and Democrats. Pride in America among Democrats seems to be largely dependent upon the occupant of the White House. As an immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen, Charlie explains how disgraceful that thinking is. Finally, Charlie and Greg delight in a clip of NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who after delivering the New York Knicks their first championship in 53 years, admitted, “I miss the Texas taxes.” Texas does not tax personal income, while New York has one of the nation's highest tax burdens.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn BeddingGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML at https://BrooklynBedding.comPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.BetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

Iran deal, Niño Guerrero, New York Knicks riots, Elon Musk, and Freddie from Germany headline today's A.M. Update. Trump posts on Truth Social that a deal with Iran is complete and the Strait of Hormuz is open, but Aaron recorded much of this episode before that post dropped — and his pre-deal analysis still stands, because nobody has seen the text, the Middle East is calling it a capitulation, and Aaron says pump the brakes either way. Tren de Aragua leader Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as Niño Guerrero, is killed in a U.S. military strike that Trump announced Friday with video. New York Knicks fans torch five school buses, injure ten NYPD officers, and shoot one person celebrating the NBA championship, and Aaron notes that PSG fans set the bar and New York said hold my degeneracy. Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX's $75 billion IPO, AOC calls him unintelligent, Ro Khanna wants a 5% wealth tax that Aaron's math shows wouldn't cover half of one year of bachelor's degree tuition. Aaron closes with Aaronalysis on Freddie from Germany, the X account that went from thousands to half a million followers by driving through the American South for the World Cup and being blown away by Buc-ee's, Bass Pro Shops, stranger hospitality, and the Gulf Coast at sunset.
Something of a bombshell has just dropped. Elon Musk, through the historic IPO of SpaceX on the Nasdaq — just became the world's first trillionaire. One trillion dollars. And the left's immediate reaction wasn't "how did he build that?" It was "how do we take it?" And I want you to understand something, because this is so important — the same people screaming about one trillion dollars in private wealth are completely silent about the three to four trillion dollars in wealth transfer payments the federal government moves every single year.

Episode 5439: The Rise Of The Trillionaire; Iran Deal Ready To Sign
After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk's net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's Headlines: SpaceX went public today raising $75 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation, making Elon Musk humanity's first trillionaire. Moving on, Trump spent Thursday morning threatening to seize Iran's main oil hub Kharg Island, then hours later cancelled strikes because Iran "approved a draft agreement" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and begin 60 days of nuclear negotiations — except Iran's own state media reported no agreement had been approved and that "the Americans kept changing their positions," though the stock market had its best day in two months anyway because the concept of a deal is apparently enough for Wall Street. In voter suppression news, the USPS quietly changed its rules to require states to hand over voter lists for anyone requesting mail-in ballots, with 23 states suing to stop it and the first judge already declining to block it, because of course they did. Trump dropped Bill Pulte as acting DNI after even Republicans said no, replacing him with Jay Clayton — Manhattan US Attorney, former SEC chair, and someone with no intelligence experience but a strong track record of loyalty to Trump. The DOJ is subpoenaing JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo to investigate alleged "debanking" of conservatives, with the primary evidence being that Trump lost his bank accounts after January 6th, and a DOJ staffer working on Traitor Fund legislation quietly asked to recuse himself because he was planning to file a claim from the same fund he's helping write. In Trump shenanigans news, his birthday UFC cage fight is set up on the White House lawn — with rain in the forecast — and workers will operate 20 hours a day year-round to build his gold arch in DC by the end of his term. And finally, Vance Boelter, the Minnesota man who posed as a police officer and murdered the Democratic speaker of Minnesota's state house, her husband, and their dog, pleaded guilty and received two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years.
