They discuss the Bootstraps docu-series heading to South by Southwest, Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts consultation, and new Guaranteed Basic Income pilots in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. The hosts examine institutional fears of Trump, a new study on bright children in low-income households, and Malaysia's bold push that could make it the first nation with a true UBI. They also explore UBI legislation in Colombia, a UK program for farmers, and the importance of universality in preventing corruption. Alongside these updates, the team dives into how anime (High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World) depicts UBI, the struggles of neurodivergent people navigating bureaucracy, and the reality that Americans spend four hours a day worrying about money. This wide-ranging conversation blends news, culture, and research to highlight why UBI remains one of the most urgent and transformative policies of our time.See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/scottsantens.com/post/3lckzcleo7s24See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on X: https://x.com/scottsantens/status/1766213155967955332For more info about UBI, please refer to my UBI FAQ: http://scottsantens.com/basic-income-faqDonate to the Income To Support All Foundation to support UBI projects:https://www.itsafoundation.orgSubscribe to the ITSA Newsletter for monthly UBI news:https://itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeVisit Basic Income Today for daily UBI news:https://basicincometoday.comSign up for the Comingle waitlist for voluntary UBI:https://www.comingle.usFollow Scott:https://linktr.ee/scottsantensFollow Conrad:https://bsky.app/profile/theubiguy.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/conradshaw/Follow Josh:https://bsky.app/profile/misterjworth.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshworth/Special thanks to: Gisele Huff, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Steven Grimm, Bob Weishaar, Judith Bliss, Lowell Aronoff, Jessica Chew, Katie Moussouris, David Ruark,Tricia Garrett, A.W.R., Daryl Smith, Larry Cohen, John Steinberger, Philip Rosedale, Liya Brook, Frederick Weber, Laurel gillespie, Dylan Hirsch-Shell, Tom Cooper, Robert Collins, Joanna Zarach, Mgmguy, Albert Wenger, Andrew Yang, Peter T Knight, Michael Finney, David Ihnen, Steve Roth, Miki Phagan, Walter Schaerer, Elizabeth Corker, Albert Daniel Brockman, Natalie Foster, Joe Ballou, Arjun ,' @Justin_Dart , Felix Ling, S, Jocelyn Hockings, Mark Donovan, Jason Clark, Chuck Cordes, Mark Broadgate, Leslie Kausch, Braden Ferrin , Juro Antal, centuryfalcon64, Deanna McHugh, Stephen Castro-Starkey, Tommy Caruso, and all my other patrons for their support.If you'd like to see your name here in future video descriptions, you can do so by becoming a patron on Patreon at the UBI Producer level or above.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottsantens/membership#universalbasicincome #BasicIncome #UBI

On this episode of Right on Radio host Jeff is joined by John Brisson of "We've Read the Document" for a wide-ranging news update and analysis of recent political and geopolitical developments. The show opens with the Word on Word segment, where Jeff and listeners choose between two Bible verses — Deuteronomy 31:8 and Isaiah 26:3 — and discuss the role of hope, steadfast mind, and trust in turbulent times. Jeff and John dissect a packed presidential press conference: debates over Trump's health, claims about Operation Warp Speed and its military logistics, and the media narratives around chronic venous insufficiency and heart concerns. They explore allegations linking pandemic programs to deeper operations (Operation Tiberius, Palantir connections), the political theater of the Oval Office (symbolism of ties and when leaders don't wear them), and how predictive programming and choreography shape public perception. The conversation turns to possible preparations for accountability actions: references to “burn bags” and hidden documents, Tulsi Gabbard's remarks, talk of prosecutions and military legal structures (JAG), the specter of martial law and tribunals, and the rhetoric around capital punishment for violence in the Capitol. Jeff and John debate timelines and motives, including a prediction to watch mid-September for consequential developments. International threads include the arrest of El Mayo (Sinaloa cartel), the prospect of declaring Mexico and other nations as narco states, potential military actions in Latin America, and diplomatic theater surrounding a planned Trump meeting with King Charles. They also cover Denmark's recent actions related to COVID operations in Greenland and the broader push to expose global networks tied to trafficking and corruption. Financial and technological shifts are discussed at length: talk of charging George Soros under RICO, Elon Musk's provocative posts, the rumored launch of a Trump-linked stablecoin (World Liberty Financial), and the larger “wealth transfer” narrative tied to AI, robotics, and a nascent digital monetary system — with debate about freedoms, UBI, and the risks of centralized digital control. Throughout, Jeff and John compare differing interpretations — from Trump-as-forerunner to Trump-as-Antichrist — arguing theology, prophecy, and practical consequences while cautioning about who holds power when justice is meted out. The episode closes by inviting listeners to join Right on Radio's Telegram communities and nightly prayer calls, with John sharing where to find his research and channels for continued conversation.

32 Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.Nolite timere pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum. 33 Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.Vendite quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis : quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.St Philip was born at Florence of the noble family of Benizi. He entered the Order of the Servites as a lay brother. Ordained a priest, he was made General of his Order.

David explains why A.I. could make Universal Basic Income (UBI) a reality sooner than you think. As machines take over more jobs—especially white-collar ones—we may need a new safety net just to keep society stable. Why UBI is no longer a fringe idea but a serious policy being considered in Washington. It promises monthly cash payments to every adult, regardless of their job or income. David highlights the staggering cost of UBI if implemented today. At $12,000 per adult annually, the total price tag would hit $3.1 trillion a year—equal to all Social Security and Medicare spending combined. How to wrap your head around what that means for taxes. To fund UBI, the government would need to raise taxes by at least seven percentage points across the board. David shares what that looks like in real life. If you're in the 22% tax bracket now, that could jump to 29%—even before you factor in state taxes or future hikes. With rising national debt and shrinking tax bases due to A.I., David believes higher taxes may become the new normal. David explains how this affects your retirement plan. If you're deferring taxes in a traditional IRA or 401(k), you may be setting yourself up for a bigger tax hit down the road. How to avoid that painful surprise later. Today's low tax rates could be the best deal you'll ever get—so delaying taxes could mean missing the window. David shares the smart move more Americans should be making right now. Start shifting money into tax-free accounts like Roth IRAs while the current tax laws still work in your favor. David covers a powerful example to bring this to life. Imagine you're 55 with $1 million in a traditional IRA and expect to pay 22% in taxes. If taxes go up by 20 points in the next decade, you could lose hundreds of thousands more to the IRS than you need to. Why waiting for retirement to convert to Roth might be a big mistake. The longer you wait, the larger your account grows—and the more you'll owe when rates are higher. How to protect yourself from what David calls a “perfect storm” of higher taxes and shrinking benefits. You can't control what Congress does—but you can control where and how your money grows.     Mentioned in this episode: David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ ⁠https://nordvpn.com/think85⁠ Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! Today we are going to look at an interesting and often controversial idea: Universal Basic Income, or UBI for short. Let me ask you a question: What if the government gave everyone free money, no strings attached? No matter who you are, where you work, or how much you earn; just regular payments, every month, guaranteed. Does this sound too good to be true? Or maybe it sounds like a smart solution to poverty, inequality, and the future of work? In this episode, we'll explore the concept of Universal Basic Income, discuss its goals and purpose, look at real-life experiments and trials from around the world, and examine the debate: Is UBI a brilliant idea… or a dangerous one?

Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of trust and community in realizing the full potential of UBI.See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/scottsantens.com/post/3lckzcleo7s24See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on X: https://x.com/scottsantens/status/1766213155967955332For more info about UBI, please refer to my UBI FAQ: http://scottsantens.com/basic-income-faqDonate to the Income To Support All Foundation to support UBI projects:https://www.itsafoundation.orgSubscribe to the ITSA Newsletter for monthly UBI news:https://itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeVisit Basic Income Today for daily UBI news:https://basicincometoday.comSign up for the Comingle waitlist for voluntary UBI:https://www.comingle.usFollow Scott:https://linktr.ee/scottsantensFollow Conrad:https://bsky.app/profile/theubiguy.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/conradshaw/Follow Josh:https://bsky.app/profile/misterjworth.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshworth/Special thanks to: Gisele Huff, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Steven Grimm, Bob Weishaar, Judith Bliss, Lowell Aronoff, Jessica Chew, Katie Moussouris, David Ruark,Tricia Garrett, A.W.R., Daryl Smith, Larry Cohen, John Steinberger, Philip Rosedale, Liya Brook, Frederick Weber, Laurel gillespie, Dylan Hirsch-Shell, Tom Cooper, Robert Collins, Joanna Zarach, Mgmguy, Albert Wenger, Andrew Yang, Peter T Knight, Michael Finney, David Ihnen, Steve Roth, Miki Phagan, Walter Schaerer, Elizabeth Corker, Albert Daniel Brockman, Natalie Foster, Joe Ballou, Arjun ,' @Justin_Dart , Felix Ling, S, Jocelyn Hockings, Mark Donovan, Jason Clark, Chuck Cordes, Mark Broadgate, Leslie Kausch, Braden Ferrin , Juro Antal, centuryfalcon64, Deanna McHugh, Stephen Castro-Starkey, Tommy Caruso, and all my other patrons for their support.If you'd like to see your name here in future video descriptions, you can do so by becoming a patron on Patreon at the UBI Producer level or above.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottsantens/membership#universalbasicincome #BasicIncome #UBI

AI Is Coming for Your Job: Top 10 at Risk + What To Do After 50 | Karel Cast 25-108 AI isn't “coming”—it's here, and a lot of jobs are on the line. We break down the Top 10 roles at risk (interpreters/translators, historians, passenger attendants, sales reps, writers/authors, customer service reps, CNC programmers, telephone operators, ticket/travel agents, broadcast announcers & radio DJs) and ask: What do you do—especially if you're 50+? We talk real strategies: reskilling, AI-proof skill stacks, union/pro policy, UBI/transition supports, and how to push back on corporate AI rollouts that treat workers as disposable. Plus: Trump's talk of “strict tests” for transgender athletes in the Olympics—why it's a political stunt that harms real people. And yes, I stepped in it over a family-only line at the airport—is “special convenience” policy fair if it doesn't serve everyone?

As AI technology continues to displace large segments of the U.S. workforce, universal basic income (UBI) is moving from theory to potential reality. Jefferey explores what the studies reveal about the societal impact of such programs and how they may pave the way for government-controlled digital currencies, which could include troubling features like expiration dates and restrictions on how and where the money can be spent.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

In this episode, Erik Torenberg is joined in the studio by Dwarkesh Patel and Noah Smith to explore one of the biggest questions in tech: what exactly is artificial general intelligence (AGI), and how close are we to achieving it?They break down:Competing definitions of AGI — economic vs. cognitive vs. “godlike”Why reasoning alone isn't enough — and what capabilities models still lackThe debate over substitution vs. complementarity between AI and human laborWhat an AI-saturated economy might look like — from growth projections to UBI, sovereign wealth funds, and galaxy-colonizing robotsHow AGI could reshape global power, geopolitics, and the future of workAlong the way, they tackle failed predictions, surprising AI limitations, and the philosophical and economic consequences of building machines that think, and perhaps one day, act, like us. Timecodes: 0:00 Intro0:33 Defining AGI and General Intelligence2:38 Human and AI Capabilities Compared7:00 AI Replacing Jobs and Shifting Employment15:00 Economic Growth Trajectories After AGI17:15 Consumer Demand in an AI-Driven Economy31:00 Redistribution, UBI, and the Future of Income31:58 Human Roles and the Evolving Meaning of Work41:21 Technology, Society, and the Human Future45:43 AGI Timelines and Forecasting Horizons54:04 The Challenge of Predicting AI's Path57:37 Nationalization, Geopolitics, and the Global AI Race1:07:10 Brand and Network Effects in AI Dominance1:09:31 Final Thoughts  Resources: Find Dwarkesh on X: https://x.com/dwarkesh_spFind Dwarkesh on YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/DwarkeshPatelSubscribe to Dwarkesh's Substack: https://www.dwarkesh.com/Find Noah on X: https://x.com/noahpinionSubscribe to Noah's Substack: https://www.noahpinion.blog/ Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Triffon from down under joins us for a chat about Commonwealth tyranny and how ancient mysteries and interesting in cataclysmic cycles plays a part in this.   We talk about conspiracy 101, what happened in 2022, the Vatican, MK and Paperclip, flags, UBI and the three new classes, new censorship initiatives in our respective countries, the test, the camps, being cancelled and Australia's attempt at a convoy shafted by controlled op politicians. The Cycle is Up.   In the second half we get into those in control failing up, Trump and Tulsi, WW3 and AI, the next distraction, Ultra-terrestrials, Disclosure, New Age, the ultimate test, soul traps and ascension, ancients tracking cataclysm, theories on the moon and the builder culture.   By day Triffon is a Logistics Specialist, Business Development Manager and Teacher specialising in Adult Education.

This week Brett interview he founder of the world's first data savings account and data wallet ecosystem, Andre Vellozo of Drumwave. Vellozo makes a compelling case that GDPR and data privacy regulations won't work in the age of AI, that we need data ownership structures and the ability to monetize our data, especially related to digital twin models like AI-based healthcare. Drumwave maintains that owning your own data and deploying it in the emerging autonomous world might eliminate the need for UBI and other such proposals. Do you know where your data is? 

Mark Zuckerberg just published a major essay on Meta's vision for “Personal Superintelligence,” claiming their AI is beginning to show signs of self-improvement. This follows Meta's aggressive talent push, with billion-dollar offers to AI researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic—many of which are being declined. Zuckerberg contrasts competitors by promoting superintelligence as a tool for personal empowerment, not just labor automation and UBI. Reactions are mixed: some praise the individual focus, while others question whether Meta's ad-driven model can deliver—or if it's quietly retreating from open source commitments.Ask GPT about our Agent Readiness Audits - ⁠https://bit.ly/supersuperagent⁠Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kpmg.com/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blitzy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

Welcome to another episode of Data Driven, where we delve deep into the crossroads of data, technology, and the ever-shifting world of geopolitics. In this packed episode, hosts Frank La Vigne and Bailey are joined by Christopher Nuland, AI technical marketing manager at Red Hat, for a candid, no-holds-barred discussion on the newly released America's AI Action Plan.Together, they tackle everything from the resurgence of Cold War tensions in the AI arena to the complexities of “AI sovereignty” and what it really means for the US, China, and the rest of the world. Expect spirited debates about EU's place in the global AI race, the real-world implications of chip supply chain disruptions, and the heated rhetoric around workforce security in an era when AI is starting to replace traditional jobs.The conversation weaves through existential questions—can AI ever truly reason, or are we just witnessing the rise of superpowered “spreadsheet goblins?”—and gets hands-on with the very real risks (and opportunities) of rolling out LLMs in everyday workplaces. Plus, the team touches on power-hungry data centers, potential impacts on the job market, and even finds time to swap sci-fi references from The Expanse to Ghost in the Shell to help paint a picture of what our AI-dominated future might look like.Buckle up for a dense, dynamic, and dangerously nerdy journey into the world of AI policy, technology, and what it means for all of us.

I've got so many friends right now in one of the most popular and lucrative spaces.....   They're making sick money.......   One friend does $2M a week in stem cell sales.    Another just sold his company for $50M.    Peptides.    Testosterone and Estrogen replacement therapy.    Why do I tell you this?    In the coming few months, I'm going to make a move in this space.    I've worked hard and built companies.    And I want to be around for a very long time to enjoy what I have.    If AI is going to replace us all and create a world of Universal Basic Income, we're going to need to be in the best health in our lives.     I may as well invest in that sector so I don't have to only rely on UBI.    I have another friend who sold his company at 55 and had a heart attack.    One of my first mentors told me the biggest regret he had was quitting working out.     He was never able to get back to it because he had let it go.    Remember, Health is Wealth.    You can still move and enjoy the mobility of the world if you start preparing today.    Get to work.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

This episode delves into the implications of Universal Basic Income (UBI) and AI automation on society and the economy. It discusses how $2,000 per month UBI might seem like a relief but is actually a form of containment, keeping people compliant while tech industries quietly replace human jobs. Silicon Valley's advances in automation, from robotic kitchens to AI customer service, are side-lining human participation. The episode warns that UBI could inflate the housing market and create a 'useless class' of people the economy no longer needs. As prices adjust to absorb UBI, only those who control assets will thrive. The discussion draws from examples like the Stockton, California UBI pilot, suggesting that UBI could raise living costs without improving quality of life, pushing people to seek financial independence outside conventional systems. BUT BEFORE THAT, hear the shocking truth behind the dollars big drop, and how tariffs made America richer this year!

On this week's episode, Moe comes out hot and spills on "Coldplay-Gate," that viral kiss-cam fiasco where a couple (turns out, cheating execs from Astronomer) bolted like they saw a ghost. It's not just gossip—it's schadenfreude gold, highlighting how the C-suite plays by different rules. Joel highlights ZipRececruiter's most recent marketing strategy: Embracing old school linear TV by sponsoring a new show on Fox. Chad rants about the new $250 "integrity fee" for US tourist visas—because nothing says "welcome" like a cash grab that could tank tourism before the 2026 World Cup. Ashby news brings the fire, snagging a whopping $50M Series D, doubling customers (now 2,700+ like OpenAI and Shopify), boosting revenue 135%, and barely dipping into last year's Series C. Why more cash? To evolve "at the speed of AI," building all-in-one recruiting magic—sourcing, scheduling, analytics—that users call "beautiful software." No more tool sprawl; it's the startup darling dethroning clunky vets like Greenhouse. Chad's verdict: Finally, an ATS nobody bitches about—refreshing in a moan-fest industry! Then, drama alert: Bold snatches Monster and CareerBuilder assets for $28.4M in a bankruptcy auction (up from a start of $7M). Great domains, SEO juice ... but Bold's predatory paywalls (mandatory sign-ups, fees for full job deets) scream "job seeker trap." Chad's not thrilled—hopes they don't prey harder with that Monster muscle. Randstad? Total villains. They boast $5.8B revenue and 3% EBITDA margins, but screw Monster employees worldwide. Days before mass layoffs, they gutted severance: From 1.5 weeks/year (up to 16) to a flat two weeks. Imagine losing $28K if you're a 20-year vet! In France, it's worse—brutal shutdowns, no support, leaving taxpayers footing unemployment bills. Vendors? Stiffed millions after Monster ran up tabs they knew were doomed. Chad's furious: "Corporate welfare at its finest." Until CEOs like don orange jumpsuits, the little guys get proper f***ed. AI corner: Perplexity's CEO says says recruiter jobs are soon to be a thing of the past, and Salesforce's Mark Benioff probably agrees, as his company is doing up to 50% or more with less. Moe's skeptical: "Hype to sell shares!" Chad sees task automation (bye, scheduling drudgery) but demands AI taxes and UBI pronto. Jobs evolve, but painful contractions ahead? We'll be watching.

01:05:36 – 01:07:01 Elon Musk's Retro Diner: Shiny Chrome, Hollow FutureTesla's robot-run diner is mocked as a dystopian illusion of Americana. The segment highlights how elites destroy traditional culture, then rent it back as hollow nostalgia. 01:13:07 – 01:14:49 Dystopian “Future” Masks Population Control AgendaCommentary warns that AI, UBI, and technocratic infrastructure will render people obsolete. The system will offer comfort and control in exchange for freedom and fertility. 01:31:11 – 01:41:04 Investor's Mental Collapse Blamed on ChatGPT IndoctrinationA prominent AI investor publicly spirals into delusion after prolonged interaction with ChatGPT. The segment explores how AI validation of paranoia may induce psychosis, especially in isolated or obsessive minds. 02:04:27 – 02:05:07 Trump the Technocrat: Palantir, Wearables, and Surveillance StateTrump is accused of enabling technocracy by empowering Peter Thiel's networks, funding Palantir, advancing biometric surveillance, and promoting AI governance under the guise of innovation. 02:22:01 – 02:23:31 Fetterman and GOP Push Bill to Preserve Cash PaymentsSenators Fetterman and Cramer introduce legislation to ensure Americans can pay with cash—countering the rise of digital-only businesses and the push toward CBDCs.

I didn't plan to write this. It started with a Thread, sparked by a conversation with someone who spoke as if identity was destiny, and belonging was determined by pain. They spoke in the voice of certainty—about who could speak, who couldn't, and who owed what to whom.But it stirred something old in me.I grew up in Salt Lake, Oahu. Subsidized garden apartments near the airport. I was six. A haole kid—Irish, English, German, Czechoslovakian, Hungarian—surrounded by friends who were Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Samoan, Filipino. In Hawaii, we were all poi dogs: mutts, proud of our mix. Nobody cared what you were—until intermediate school, when I was suddenly just “white.” One word flattened my whole ancestry.That flattening—that erasure of nuance—is what this is about.Let's be clear: America has never been an ethnostate. It's never required blood purity. It's flirted with white supremacy, yes. It's been built on contradictions, certainly. But it has always been chaotic, plural, experimental. Jews were among the first colonists. There were free Black people before slavery became systemic. Hawaiian royalty toured the White House. The myth of America as ethnically pure is just that—a myth.Compare that with actual ethnostates. Japan. Korea. Hungary. Nations where blood defines belonging. Where being born in-country doesn't mean you're accepted. Where assimilation isn't expected—because it isn't offered. These are places with coherent boundaries. That's what makes them safer, yes—but also more exclusionary.And yet somehow, America bears the guilt of falling short of an ideal no one else even tries to live up to.Whiteness in America has never been fixed. Irish weren't white. Italians weren't white. Jews weren't white. Whiteness was a moving caste line. A club. Not a color.Today, the same people who rightly insist on distinguishing between Vietnamese and Chinese, or Dominican and Puerto Rican, will lump everyone with pale skin into “white.” As if all of us grew up with the same privilege. As if someone like me—raised by a single mom, broke, mixed, uninvited—was born at the top of the pyramid.It's not justice. It's just reversal.Later in life, on Mastodon—a social platform of federated, ideological islands—I found myself in dialogue with an actual white supremacist. He told me I wasn't really white. Not with Irish Catholic blood from County Mayo. Not with Hungarian roots from Budapest. Not with my Slavic features. To him, true whiteness belonged to ethnic English and Germans. Everyone else was an Untermensch—a word I knew from my time in Berlin. A slur. A caste marker. Garbage people.I laughed it off. But I didn't forget.The deeper you look into the world, the more you see these hierarchies. In Singapore, ethnic Han Chinese dominate. In Finland, the elite are Swedish, not Finnish. Every culture has its own purity test.That's why America still matters. Even when it fails. Especially when it fails.Because here, a kid like me could eat kalbi from a Korean neighbor's hibachi at six years old and fall in love with kimchi before knowing how to spell it. Here, I could be a poi dog and still grow up to write, to speak, to belong. That doesn't happen in most of the world.We talk about justice, but we also need to talk about containment. UBI, grievance culture, and online rage cycles don't liberate people—they manage them. They keep people home, sedated, sequestered. Just enough bread to dull hunger. Just enough narrative to keep them angry but inactive.It's not revolution. It's sedation.Still—I believe in this country. Not because it's perfect. But because it's unfinished. Because it tries, even when it stumbles. Because it allows us to write ourselves in.So no, America isn't an ethnostate. And the fact that we even argue about how to be more inclusive proves it.It's messy. But it's ours.And I'll defend that—with aloha.

In this podcast, Francis Hunt discusses the current economic landscape, focusing on the potential collapse of debt markets and the rise of alternative assets like gold, silver, and platinum. He argues that we are witnessing the end of a 40-year bond market cycle, with long-term debt instruments experiencing significant yield increases across multiple countries, including the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Hunt emphasizes that the traditional safe-haven assets like government bonds are losing their appeal due to capital devaluation and low yields. He suggests that investors are increasingly turning to precious metals as a preservation of capital strategy. Technical analysis of gold, platinum, and silver charts indicates potential breakouts and continued upward momentum, with gold potentially reaching targets around $3,700. A key discussion point is the unraveling of the Japanese carry trade, where low-cost Japanese funding has been used to invest in higher-yielding assets globally. As Japanese long-term yields rise, this trade becomes less attractive, potentially causing significant financial disruption. Hunt believes this could trigger a broader financial restructuring. The conversation also explores the potential vulnerability of the United States as a global economic hegemon. Hunt argues that the U.S. is not immune to economic challenges and may experience a more dramatic economic downturn due to its higher starting point. He warns about the potential collapse of pension systems, driven by complex financial instruments like Leveraged Debt Instruments (LDIs) that have created unsustainable financial structures. Ultimately, Hunt predicts a shift towards alternative assets and potentially a universal basic income (UBI) system as traditional financial mechanisms break down. He advises investors to focus on physical precious metals and be cautious of complex financial products and large asset management firms. The podcast presents a sobering view of the current global economic landscape, suggesting significant structural changes are on the horizon.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the rapid development of robots set to live in your house, take your jobs and force you into a technocratic world order with UBI and 15 Minute Cities. 1X in Palo Alto launched an ad showing walking, talking robots in the work place recently and Elon Musk's Optimus robot is being placed in homes throughout the world with the ability to do laundry, dishes, dance and of course surveil. It's promoted as a cheap and revolutionary technological development, yet most of us know the real truth behind this role out. Elon Musk who recently created The America Party claims AI will take ALL jobs and destroy humanity. He's also the main person developing it while calling for people to put chips in their brains attached to Pentagon funded mesh networks as he replaces his own workers with AI. He just sold X to XAI for 33 billion dollars, a symbolic number and now X is partnering with Visa to launch XMoney which will be a digital payment system attached to his social credit digital ID network called X. Meanwhile, frenemy President Donald Trump recently tapped Palantir to create a database on all Americans, put 500 billion dollars into AI, met with the Saudis alongside Musk, Karp of Palantir, Sam Altman of Open AI among many others to create a global AI alliance for weapons and employment. He also included massive AI provisions in his so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" and stripped states of the right to individually regulate AI, passing it to the federal government. All of this is happening as emergency orders for countless conflicts are launched across the board. Scientists are also creating synthetic human DNA from scratch right now.

Cal hears an interview with Kevin O'Leary – Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank -- that puts into focus the loss of jobs coming with the onset of AI. Then he sees a robot cleaning floors at the convenience store of his gas station. And he wonders about the possibility and potential of Universal Basic Income in a world where there may not be that many jobs for humans to find. That leads Cal to Bill Gates and some thoughts on UBI that you definitely want to hear.
