Bessent says White House may ‘veto’ Federal Reserve presidents   Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday he would push a new requirement that the Federal Reserve’s regional bank presidents live in their districts for at least three years before taking office, a move that could give the White House more power over the independent agency.  Bessent said that “there is a disconnect with the framing of the Federal Reserve” and added that, “unless someone has lived in their district for three years, we’re going to veto them.” Source: msn.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1995954684859941373?s=20   In a July 2025 interview, Hassett highlighted the Fed’s origins under the gold standard in 1913 to critique current practices: “When the Federal Reserve was created, we were under the Gold Standard—and the idea that the Fed could print money and then spend $2.5B on a building… I think that we’ve got a real problem of oversight and excess spending.”   This aligns with sound money ideals, where gold symbolizes disciplined, non-inflationary currency, but he stops short of calling for reinstatement.  Monetary economist Judy Shelton (author of Good as Gold) praised Hassett in July 2025 for referencing the gold standard, noting it as a reminder that “Fed has a lot to answer for” in deviating from that era’s stability.  Hassett views Bitcoin as “digital gold” for its scarcity and hedge qualities—echoing sound money without physical backing.

OUTRAGE: Minneapolis Police Chief Urges Somali Community to Dial 911 on Masked ICE Agents — Promises Cops Will “Intervene” Against Federal Arrests Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara speaks at a press conference alongside city officials as he urges Somali residents to call 911 on masked individuals Police leadership in Minneapolis is urging the city's Somali community, and other immigrant residents, to call 911 if they spot masked individuals detaining people in their neighborhoods. He urged community members to call 911 if they were unsure whether those enforcing arrests were legitimate law enforcement — and pledged MPD would investigate and log every such call. He did not stop at documentation, however. “If there is anything that is … a violation of someone's human rights or civil rights, excessive force or anything like that, they absolutely have a duty to intervene as police officers,” O'Hara declared. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1995956308902879320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1995956308902879320%7Ctwgr%5E19002c76c52297fc2dd58664d00870448c39f149%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Foutrage-minneapolis-police-chief-urges-somali-community-dial%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com UNREAL: Mayor Jacob Frey Declares He Won't Cooperate With ICE… and Suddenly Starts Speaking Somali to His Audience Mid-Speech Minneapolis far-left Mayor Jacob Frey abruptly shifted a public address into Somali, all while promising that city police will refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

It's a forward operating base for Iran and Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere. This is why the situation is escalating. This is why Trump's ultimatum matters. This is why Maduro's regime cannot be ignored or “managed.” The threat isn't local — it's global.

The plan was simple on paper – use immobilized Russian funds as collateral for loans to keep Ukraine afloat. But Belgium is the custodian of the largest chunk of those assets. If something goes wrong, they're the ones holding the radioactive bag. This isn't some bureaucratic squabble. It's the EU's financing strategy cracking in real time. Prévot's pushback signals the core fear: If Europe touches Russian state money without watertight legal armor, Moscow retaliates – economically, diplomatically, and possibly through countersanctions on European firms. And here's the thing: the Commission thought it had majority backing. Belgium saying “nope” on the morning of rollout is a political body-slam. Happening next? The EU will scramble to rewrite the legal plumbing. Germany and France will pressure Belgium quietly – nobody wants to admit the plan is wobbling. Russia will weaponize the hesitation as proof the West can't agree on how to bankroll Ukraine. And Kyiv? Still waiting for the money that was supposed to be “already there.” Another example of Europe discovering that seizing assets is easy. Using them? That's where the real war begins.    Ursula von der Leyen did not state that she received “permission” from the US to seize Russian assets. In a recent appearance at the GLOBSEC forum, she said that she informed the incoming Trump administration (specifically mentioning a conversation with Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent) about the EU’s proposal to use frozen Russian assets as collateral for a “reparations loan” to Ukraine, and that “it was positively received.” https://twitter.com/briefing_block_/status/1996241939931201801?s=20 https://twitter.com/Dubinsky_pro/status/1996242036417028176?s=20  regime.

No official reason was given, but the message is clear: there's no deal, yet. Putin's warning didn't help. He said Russia is “ready” for war in Europe and claimed any future conflict would be so fierce that “nobody will be left to negotiate with.” This setback casts doubt on whether a negotiated end to the war is possible anytime soon. It also suggests Kyiv isn't ready to engage on Moscow's terms. What's next: Watch for how Ukraine positions itself diplomatically in the coming weeks, and whether Trump's team will try again with a revised proposal. https://twitter.com/MJTruthUltra/status/1996059724173754525?s=20   situation may quickly arise where there is no one left for us to negotiate with” https://twitter.com/Panchenko_X/status/1996192741508645286?s=20  been given the black mark and is seen globally as corrupt.

That restriction followed an executive order from President Donald Trump against recognizing transgenderism claims in the federal government. The claim being made by Mittereder is that the policy violates federal civil rights law. According to the report on the recently filed lawsuit, Mittereder began working at the TSA in 2024 and now is stationed at Dulles International Airport in Virginia. He claims because he is not allowed to pat down women, his job prospects are being hurt.

This collaboration brought us together and still holds the promise of lowering insurance premiums.” Paul noted the plan failed because Democrat AGs fought it in court, but it could now pass through Congress. Here’s why this matters: the current system forces individuals to buy insurance alone, giving them zero bargaining power against massive insurance companies. Association Health Plans let people band together through retailers or organizations to negotiate as a group, the same way large corporations do for their employees. More buyers in a pool means more leverage. More leverage means lower premiums. It costs nothing to implement and simply changes labor law. Competition works. Let Americans shop for insurance the same way they shop for everything else. https://twitter.com/EliseStefanik/status/1995856738994565416?s=20  Raskin against Trump Republicans to block this provision to protect the deep state.

The redesign is intended to make information more accessible and transparent in a crisis to enable quick and effective decision making. The project should be complete by the end of the calendar year. -We saved the taxpayers billions of dollars by scrapping the plan for an expensive new FBI headquarters building. We will be moving to the existing Reagan building after decades of fruitless haggling as the current FBI headquarters building crumbles. -We relocated over a thousand headquarters based personnel out of the Washington DC area and into the field to focus on violent crime, crimes against children, and terrorism. Those agents are now working on the mission in those regional offices. -In recognition of the growing threat, and in conjunction with the President's Executive Order, we designed, launched and completed the FBI's first-ever counter-drone school last month.

We dedicated significant personnel and financial assets to streamlining FOIA reform to ensure responsiveness. -We shut down multiple open air drug markets nationwide and, in conjunction with the White House, had 12 fentanyl precursors from China listed. -We created CIO and CTO positions to work with the CFO to find efficiencies and implement new technologies to assist in our mission.

These are real savings to the taxpayer and each budget dollar allocated is intensely scrutinized for value. -We vastly expanded the overseas biometrics program to stop bad actors before they board a plane or vessel to the US.

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver dive straight into the deep end. The episode opens with a wild swing through markets, technology, and the future of AI, setting the stage for a conversation that keeps expanding until it reaches the moon. Their back and forth turns into a sharp look at how power, energy, and innovation could reshape the world faster than anyone is prepared for. The tone shifts as the guys move into heavier territory. They explore political noise, manufactured distractions, and the subjects no one wants to stay focused on. Sean pushes the discussion while Kevin lays out why certain stories never go away and why others disappear too quickly. The tension around truth, institutions, and public manipulation hangs over the whole segment. Wrestling fans still get their fix. Kevin breaks down moments that stood out on Raw, gives unexpected praise to rising talent, and offers insight into how ring work is really judged. There are comments on timing, movement, pacing, and the sort of details only someone with decades in the business can spot. The Garden, the reactions, and the energy of the live crowd all make their way into the analysis. The episode hits a high point when the two debate who gets to be a critic. Kevin argues from the performer's perspective while Sean fires back from the audience's side of the barricade. It becomes a sharp, honest, and at times funny exchange about expertise, fandom, and the fine line between opinion and understanding. Neither man concedes easily, which makes it even better. Kliq This closes with its trademark mix of sharp commentary, unexpected tangents, and the unfiltered honesty that keeps listeners returning every week. It is unpredictable, thoughtful, and packed with moments that land long after the episode ends. Listeners get humor, heat, and a level of candor that only this show delivers.

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com   In this episode, Doug Casey and Matt discuss various questions from their subscribers. Topics range from the impact of AI on jobs, the enduring value of businesses that AI cannot replace, and the economic implications of universal basic income. They also delve into the 'skyscraper effect' as a predictor of financial downturns in places like Punta del Este, Uruguay. The discussion then shifts to the future prospects of commodities like gold, silver, uranium, and rare earths, and the potential geopolitical impacts of China's dominance in rare earth processing. Other subjects include the state of Uruguay as a plan B destination, particularly in the context of moving there post-pandemic, and the broader implications of transitioning to a war economy. Lastly, they touch on the progress of Doug's 'Higher Ground' novel series and share insights on monetary metals and rare earth mining investments. 00:00 Introduction and Subscriber Questions 00:18 Impact of AI on Business and Employment 01:20 Universal Basic Income and Future of Work 06:53 Embracing AI and Technological Advancements 07:50 Skyscraper Effect and Real Estate Market 13:14 Crisis Investing Sentiment on Commodities 18:17 Rare Earths and Global Production 21:45 Higher Ground Novels and Future Plans 23:24 Monetary Metals and Gold Lending 24:19 The Value of Gold and Counterparty Risk 25:09 War Economy and Its Implications 28:34 US Foreign Policy and Venezuela 32:15 Uruguay: A Step Back in Time 39:20 Plan B Destinations in Europe 43:17 Concluding Remarks and Future Plans

Conrad Shaw “So much of the labor market is driven by desperation. UBI shifts that. People can actually hold out for what they're worth or for work that aligns with who they are.” — Conrad ShawConrad is perhaps the most unique guest I have had in the 5 year history of this show and he is on to talk about Universal Basic Income (UBI) , a very unique topic that is growing in exposure.For almost a decade Conrad has dedicated his life and career to furthering the cause of Universal Basic Income (UBI).In 2016 he and his wife started a documentary called Bootstraps which focuses on following families who lived through the experience of a basic income.Since then, he has:* Fundraised for and operated a nationwide basic income pilot* Filmed a multi-year docuseries currently in post-production* Co-founded Commingle, a mutual-aid platform enabling communities to self-fund their own grassroots basic income systems* Worked extensively on messaging, outreach, and public education around income, stability, and societal transformationI learned a lot from Conrad and our conversation debunked my own myths about UBI. So a really important part of this episode is the truth about what Universal Basic Income (UBI) actually is — and what it is not.What Universal Basic Income (UBI) Is — And What It Isn'tUBI is the idea that every person receives a recurring, unconditional, baseline income — a financial floor that ensures no one starts the month at zero. It is not meant to replace work or equalize everybody's income. Instead, it shifts the starting point so people can make decisions from stability rather than desperation.What UBI is:* A stable, universal base-level income for all* A platform for economic mobility and personal freedom* A modernized, simplified social safety net* A tool for reducing the survival-based pressure in the labor marketWhat UBI is not:* It does not eliminate jobs* It does not cap how much people can earn* It does not remove incentives to work* It is not a socialist equal-wealth systemUBI reframes the labor market so people compete for work based on interest, alignment, and ability, not raw financial need.Practical Ways UBI Could WorkConrad's work goes beyond speculation. He has spent nearly a decade building practical UBI experiments, including the national pilot documented in Bootstraps (2016) and his current role with the Income To Support All Foundation and Commingle, a new community-driven model.He explains that UBI can be implemented through several pathways—government programs, private pilots, or community-level mutual aid—but none are simple. A government-led UBI requires political will and rethinking how we allocate resources. Philanthropic pilots can demonstrate impact, but they're temporary. Community models like Commingle allow people to pool and redistribute resources now, without waiting for legislation, but scaling them is challenging.What's clear is that executing UBI at any level is difficult, requiring trust, infrastructure, and cultural acceptance. Yet the difficulty doesn't diminish the need. Instead, it underscores why experimentation and new models matter.Individual Differences: Why UBI Supports People Doing What They're Meant to DoOne of the deepest connections between Conrad's work and mine is the concept of individual differences—the idea that every person brings a unique constellation of strengths, traits, interests, and abilities that make them naturally better suited to certain kinds of work.When people are trapped in survival mode, those natural gifts often go unused. They pick jobs they can get, not jobs that reflect who they are. Freedom from this paradigm reshapes careers in ways that benefit both individuals and employers, allowing people to walk away from toxic or exploitative conditions and take jobs they genuinely care about, leading to better performance and engagement.With a secure foundation, people have the psychological and financial freedom to make career decisions based on fit, not fear. This supports:* Better alignment between person and role* Higher engagement and intrinsic motivation* Better workforce outcomes because people choose work that matches their abilities* Greater societal value, as more people apply their genuine talents instead of defaulting to whatever job pays immediatelyFrom Conrad's perspective, this alignment is one of the most compelling aspects of UBI. When people are free to choose work that resonates with their abilities, the labor market becomes more efficient and more human. Employers gain workers who actually want to be there. Individuals gain a sense of purpose rooted in their authentic strengths.In a world where AI, automation, and job volatility make career paths uncertain, helping people express their natural abilities becomes more important—not less.How AI Fits Into the UBI ConversationAI enters this conversation as both a catalyst and a complicating force. As Conrad points out, technological change is accelerating so quickly that we can no longer predict which jobs will exist, which skills will matter, or how stable any given career path will be. This uncertainty puts enormous pressure on individuals—especially those who don't have the luxury to retrain, take risks, or weather employment gaps. UBI provides a stabilizing infrastructure in that landscape, giving people the freedom to adapt as work evolves rather than being overwhelmed by it.AI serves the UBI concept well because it highlights the importance of individual differences: as routine tasks get automated, the value of uniquely human abilities—creativity, empathy, problem-solving, and deep domain expertise—rises. UBI supports people in discovering and developing those strengths, while also offering society a buffer as AI reshapes industries faster than institutions can respond. In this way, AI doesn't replace the need for UBI—it makes the case for it even stronger.Why Making UBI Work Matters in an Uncertain FutureWe must acknowledge the reality: we are entering a period defined by instability—rapid technological change, unpredictable job markets, and widening gaps between opportunity and access. In such an environment, the old assumptions about steady careers, stable industries, and predictable pathways no longer hold.UBI becomes a tool for resilience. It doesn't solve every problem, but it gives people the space to adapt, learn, and navigate a chaotic future without falling into crisis. It creates room for people to pursue what they're best suited for, rather than what pays the most simply out of need.The conversation frames UBI not as a political ideology but as a human-centered adaptation strategy—a way to strengthen psychological well-being, improve labor market alignment, and provide society with a more stable foundation as the world accelerates around us.The truth is that UBI isn't easy; it's a fight against gravity in a system not built for change, but we are entering into an unprecedented level of uncertainty in all aspects of our lives- so we need to have creative and idealistic solutions This is a public episode.

Andrew Yang traces his path from failed entrepreneur to 2020 presidential candidate driven by a single realization: automation has already destroyed millions of American jobs, and the next wave will be exponentially worse. Through his work with Venture for America, he witnessed firsthand the economic devastation in Detroit, Ohio, and the Midwest—where automated manufacturing jobs created the conditions that elected Donald Trump. Yang argues that artificial intelligence will soon eliminate truck driving, retail, call centers, and even white-collar professions like law and accounting. His solution is Universal Basic Income—a $1,000 monthly Freedom Dividend for every American adult, funded by a Value Added Tax on tech companies. He dismantles objections about affordability and work ethic, revealing how the policy would grow GDP by $2.5 trillion, create 4.5 million jobs, and transform America into a human-centered economy before technological displacement pushes society off a cliff.

[00:02:36] – Trump's New Nigerian WarKnight opens with Trump's threat to invade Nigeria “guns-a-blazing” to stop Christian massacres, calling it Caesar-style virtue signaling to distract from domestic scandals and project false moral authority abroad. [00:20:23] – BBC's “There Is No Genocide” LieKnight slams the BBC for denying Nigerian Christian massacres, calling it “weaponized gaslighting.” He says Western media now protects jihadists to maintain globalist narratives and justify censorship of independent reporting. [00:55:33] – Epstein's Money Laundering Cover-UpKnight exposes how Epstein's financial crimes were buried by Trump's labor secretary, Alex Acosta. He calls it the smoking gun proving Epstein's network was a bipartisan protection racket for the elite. [01:00:40] – Uber's Driverless Control GridKnight warns that Uber and Lyft's self-driving future isn't about convenience—it's a global surveillance and mobility-control system. He calls it “the digital choke collar for humanity,” built to end private ownership. [01:05:24] – Make America Great Gatsby AgainKnight ridicules Trump's “Great Gatsby” White House party as a symbol of elite decadence, likening it to Versailles arrogance as 42 million Americans lose food assistance. “They feast while the republic starves,” he says. [01:15:16] – The Civil War TrapKnight analyzes how both parties are provoking a staged civil war to justify authoritarian rule. He warns that MAGA and Antifa are two sides of the same controlled opposition designed to destroy real liberty. [01:26:21] – Operation Gladio & NATO's False FlagsKnight connects today's political chaos to NATO's Cold War Operation Gladio—where Western intelligence staged terrorism to expand state power. He says the same playbook is being revived under Trump's drug war. [02:25:57] – Vene-Nam & Trump's Wag-the-Dog WarKnight mocks Trump's planned Venezuela war as “Vinnie-Nam,” arguing it's a manufactured distraction from economic collapse and corruption—proof that the empire of lies now feeds on endless conflict. [02:33:13] – The Welfare Trap & Universal Basic DependencyKnight and co-host Travis say Trump's SNAP cuts are engineered chaos to push Universal Basic Income—a digital welfare leash that pacifies citizens while locking them into total control.

[00:18:25] – Flock Cameras & The Rise of the Police StateKnight spotlights a Colorado woman wrongly accused through Flock camera data, calling it proof that mass surveillance has replaced probable cause.

[00:28:30] – Medicaid Bribes Parents to Vaccinate BabiesKnight exposes California's $200 gift card program to coerce parents into vaccinating infants, calling it “medical bribery for the poor.” He links it to Trump's COVID hospital bonuses, arguing that public health has been monetized into state-controlled compliance. [00:41:26] – Bannon's Divine Dictator DelusionKnight dismantles Steve Bannon's claim that Trump is “God's chosen instrument,” calling it spiritual propaganda for tyranny. He warns that the fusion of religion and authoritarianism is turning MAGA into a cult of the state. [00:47:05] – Drafts, Sanctions & The March to World War IIIKnight warns that NATO powers reinstating the draft mark a slide toward global war. He likens the buildup to pre–World War I hysteria—elites gambling with millions of lives while pretending it's about “defense.” [00:58:41] – Trump Claims ‘Unquestioned Power' Under the Insurrection ActKnight exposes Trump's claim that he can deploy the military domestically “without question.” He calls it a declaration of dictatorship, proving that MAGA's authoritarian ambitions are no longer hypothetical. [01:22:00] – Trump's “Pedophile Palace” Donor ListKnight lists the billionaire backers funding Trump's new White House ballroom—including Jeff Bezos, Lockheed Martin, and Coinbase—and calls it “the ultimate pay-to-play operation.” He says MAGA populism has morphed into oligarchic corruption. [02:29:17] – GOP's Digital ID Trojan HorseKnight uncovers a bipartisan bill led by Josh Hawley and Mark Warner to “protect children from AI companions.” He warns it's a stealth plan to impose a national digital ID system under the guise of child safety. [02:40:11] – Universal Basic Income & The Death of DignityKnight connects automation and UBI, arguing that elites are manufacturing economic dependency to control the population. He calls UBI “universal welfare slavery,” stripping people of purpose, work, and freedom in exchange for digital rationing.

Chuck Todd examines the mounting political and institutional strain as the government shutdown drags on — and why Democrats may need to declare a partial victory just to move forward. The episode explores how Trump’s rise has exposed deep vulnerabilities in the American system, from unchecked profiteering and politicized justice to the growing entanglement of big tech, big money, and government power. Todd breaks down the Democrats’ limited leverage, the GOP’s dependence on Trump’s engagement, and the urgent need for new constitutional and institutional guardrails. Plus, he looks at the emerging generational clash in the Democratic Party senate primary in Maine, as Janet Mills and Graham Platner become avatars for an “old vs. new” fight that could reshape the party’s future. Finally, he gives his ToddCast Top 5 list of potential political comebacks where politicians could win their old seat back, then answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Ana Schnabl discusses with Ivan six things which should be better known. Ana Schnabl is a Slovenian writer and editor. She writes for several Slovenian media outlets and is a monthly columnist for the Guardian. Her collection of short stories Razvezani (Beletrina, 2017) met with critical acclaim. Three years later Schnabl published her first novel Masterpiece (Mojstrovina, Beletrina, 2020). Her second novel Flood Tide (Plima, Beletrina, 2022) was nominated for the Slovenian Kresnik Award. Her third novel September (Beletrina, 2024) won the Kresnik Award in 2025. Dog Behaviour: I've got two dogs, and it took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out what they were actually saying. The Concept of Universal Basic Income: I suspect that for a lot of people, Universal Basic Income sounds like a fantasy dreamt up by the lazy and the work-shy—a clever way to dodge the nine-to-five. In reality, it's nothing of the sort. Mina Mazzini: Known simply as Mina, she was nothing short of a force of nature—Italy's greatest voice and legend. Her vocal range was outrageous and her stage presence magnetic. Jellyfish: I grew up spending summers on the Slovene coast, where most beach conversations about jellyfish revolved around how nasty they are. I think it's time to give them a bit of a rebrand. Lojze Kovačič's The Newcomers: I know I sound like a total boomer saying this, but The Newcomers really is a masterpiece—a towering work of autofiction, written decades before “autofiction” was even a buzzword on Goodreads. Yugoslavia: I'm not yugonostalgic—I was simply born too late to have any real experience of living there. But I am a defender of some of the genuinely progressive ideas and policies that Yugoslavia introduced and managed to sustain. This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

Jacob Shapiro is joined by Matt Pines, Executive Director of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, to discuss the accelerating convergence of Bitcoin, AI, geopolitics, and energy. Pines argues that technological change is happening faster than existing frameworks can manage, pushing once-fringe ideas into mainstream policy debates. They explore how AI and Bitcoin are straining U.S. infrastructure, particularly the electrical grid, and what this means for national security and economic stability. The discussion also considers the rise of “techno-feudal” elites, political backlash risks, and whether America can maintain an edge against China's state-driven infrastructure build-out. Pines closes with reflections on Bitcoin's rapid rise as both a strategic asset and a test of U.S. policy adaptability.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(01:33) - The Acceleration of Change(07:16) - Energy Consumption and Infrastructure Challenges(15:24) - Political and Economic Implications(21:35) - US vs China: Technological Race(27:26) - Future of Sovereignty and Power(33:11) - The Future of AI and Techno-Surveillance Capitalism(35:01) - Economic Implications of Universal Basic Income(35:35) - Sci-Fi Futures and Technological Transformations(36:27) - Bitcoin's Role in a Techno-Feudal World(41:25) - Political and Social Reactions to Technological Change(42:58) - The Rapid Evolution of AI and Its Impacts(53:14) - Bitcoin Policy and National Interest(58:38) - Geopolitical and Monetary Challenges Ahead(01:02:45) - Concluding Thoughts and Future Outlook--Referenced in the Show:Bitcoin Policy Institute - https://www.btcpolicy.org--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

What if everyone had a guaranteed basic income that covered their cost of living, without conditions, without means testing, without question?

If you're a speaker or coach and that's all you do for a living, your industry is about to be over.    It's not just your industry, but many others.    No one is going to continue paying $50K-$100K per year to be in a mastermind.    Everyone has had to drop their prices, including me.    All of this has to do with A.I.    Demand versus access.    Right now, you have maybe 5 years to really catch traction in something else.    Universal Basic Income is going to be a thing.  If you're not sure what that is, it's where everyone who is not running a business or working in a needed position that A.I. hasn't replaced will be given a universal basic income.  (Think of it as socialism).    Heed the warnings.     The signs of the time are amongst us and your next pivot is going to determine where you come out in everything.    Research.    Grow and develop your skills.    Change is coming and will not wait for you to catch up!      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.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Abhimanyu Dayal, a longtime Bitcoin advocate and AI practitioner, to explore how money, identity, and power are shifting in a world of deepfakes, surveillance, automation, and geopolitical realignment. The conversation ranges from why self-custody of Bitcoin matters more than ETFs, to the dangers of probabilistic biometrics and face-swap apps, to the coming impact of AGI on labor markets and the role of universal basic income. They also touch on India's refinery economy, its balancing act between Russia, China, and the U.S., and how soft power is eroding in the information age. For more from Abhimanyu, connect with him on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop opens with Abhimanyu Dayal on crypto, AI, and the risks of probabilistic biometrics like facial recognition and voice spoofing.05:00 They critique biometric surveillance, face-swap apps, and data exploitation through casual consent.10:00 The talk shifts to QR code treasure hunts, vibe coding on Replit and Claude, and using quizzes to mint NFTs.15:00 Abhimanyu shares his finance background, tying it to Bitcoin as people's money, agent-to-agent payments, and post-AGI labor shifts.20:00 They discuss universal basic income, libertarian ideals, Hayek's view of economics as critique, and how AI prediction changes policy.25:00 Pressure, unpredictability, AR glasses, quantum computing, and the surveillance state future come into focus.30:00 Open source vs closed apps, China's DeepSeek models, propaganda through AI, and U.S.–China tensions are explored.35:00 India's non-alignment, Soviet alliance in 1971, oil refining economy, and U.S.–India friction surface.40:00 They reflect on colonial history, East India Company, wealth drain, opium wars, and America's rise on Indian capital.45:00 The conversation closes on Bitcoin's role as reserve asset, stablecoins as U.S. leverage, BRICS disunity, and the geopolitics of freedom.Key InsightsA central theme of the conversation is the contrast between deterministic and probabilistic systems for identity and security. Abhimanyu Dayal stresses that passwords and private keys—things only you can know—are inherently more secure than facial recognition or voice scans, which can be spoofed through deepfakes, 3D prints, or AI reconstructions. In his view, biometric data should never be stored because it represents a permanent risk once leaked.The rise of face-swap apps and casual facial data sharing illustrates how surveillance and exploitation have crept into everyday life. Abhimanyu points out that companies already use online images to adjust things like insurance premiums, proving how small pieces of biometric consent can spiral into systemic manipulation. This isn't a hypothetical future—it is already happening in hidden ways.On the lighter side, they experiment with “vibe coding,” using tools like Replit and Claude to design interactive experiences such as a treasure hunt via QR codes and NFTs. This playful example underscores a broader point: lightweight coding and AI platforms empower individuals to create experiments without relying on centralized or closed systems that might inject malware or capture data.The discussion expands into automation, multi-agent systems, and the post-AGI economy. Abhimanyu suggests that artificial superintelligence will require machine-to-machine transactions, making Bitcoin an essential tool. But if machines do the bulk of labor, universal basic income may become unavoidable, even if it drifts toward collectivist structures libertarians dislike.A key shift identified is the transformation of economics itself. Where Hayek once argued economics should critique politicians because of limited data, AI and quantum computing now provide prediction capabilities so granular that human behavior is forecastable at the individual level. This erodes the pseudoscientific nature of past economics and creates a new landscape of policy and control.Geopolitically, the episode explores India's rise, its reliance on refining Russian crude into petroleum exports, and its effort to stay unaligned between the U.S., Russia, and China. The conversation recalls India's Soviet ties during the 1971 war, while noting how today's energy and trade policies underpin domestic improvements for India's poor and middle class.Finally, they critique the co-optation of Bitcoin through ETFs and institutional custody. While investors celebrate, Abhimanyu argues this betrays Satoshi's vision of money controlled by individuals with private keys. He warns that Bitcoin may be absorbed into central bank reserves, while stablecoins extend U.S. monetary dominance by reinforcing dollar power rather than replacing it.

What does it mean to see work not as a curse but as part of God's original design? In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey is joined by board member Mark Van Drunen to welcome David L. Bahnsen for a rich conversation about his new book, Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life. Bahnsen is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a private wealth management firm managing more than $4.5 billion in client assets. David is the author of Crisis of Responsibility: Our Cultural Addiction to Blame and How You Can Cure It, The Case for Dividend Growth: Investing in a Post-Crisis World, and There's No Free Lunch, 250 Economic Truths. Mark Van Drunen works in finance and is a ruling elder at Redeemer PCA in Hudson, Ohio. He serves on the Reformed Forum Board of Directors. Together, they explore how a robustly Reformed view of vocation challenges the sacred–secular divide, recovers the dignity of labor, and reorients our understanding of productivity and flourishing. Drawing from Genesis 1, Reformed anthropology, and the legacy of Kuyper, Bahnsen argues that work is not a mere means to consumption or status, but an essential expression of our identity as image-bearers of God. The discussion also addresses pressing contemporary questions—from the pitfalls of “work–life balance” and “follow your passion” mantras, to the theological problems with universal basic income and the cultural obsession with consumption. Listeners will be encouraged to see their daily labor as an act of worship, anticipating the greater work of the new creation secured in Christ. This is a conversation at the intersection of theology, economics, and discipleship—aimed at helping Christians recover a biblically grounded vision for work that fosters maturity in Christ and glorifies God in every sphere of life.

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

Ferguson’s press conference // What Musk, Altman and Others Say About AI-Funded ‘Universal Basic Income’ // Elon Musk Wants to Give You Money for Nothing // Washington's first In-N-Out is now open

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

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.

Doc director Arthur Jones (Feels Good Man, Antisocial Network) is a '90s indie rock guy, just like George, so they tackle these two parallel docs. Our first in-person episode in a few years (most recent was Rodney Ascher in 2021), Arthur and Giorgio Angelini were in-person in March 2020 to discuss Feels Good Man.PAVEMENTS (Alex Ross Perry, 2024) is a hybrid docufiction about the UR-slacker band from Stockton that took the indie world by storm. Perry combines standard music doc tropes with a meta-biopic, meta-musical theater show, and meta-faux-museum exhibit, to meta-success. George and Arthur go deep on living through the irony-poisoned '90s, Malkmus as Fauntleroy, Stockton as the birthplace of Universal Basic Income in America, and Don DeLillo's White Noise.KIM'S VIDEO (David Redmon, Ashley Sabin, 2023) Korean immigrant Yong-man Kim starts a chain of video stores in New York, including a lot of bootlegs and underground film and music. The times catch up as they inevitably do with media retail, and the stores all close. Who will house this one-of-a-kind collection of VHS and DVDs? How do they end up in Salemi, Sicily, and what will be their fate? Director Redmon takes an investigative approach that is surprisingly gonzo and, like the best docs, does not end up where you think it will.Both docs are currently available to stream on MUBI.Arthur Jones is best known for making documentary films but enjoys working across a variety of disciplines.He directed the award-winning documentary film Feels Good Man (2020) and co-directed The Antisocial Network, Netflix (2024). Both of these movies are deeply researched true stories that explore how the internet has made us all a little crazier. Each is visually inventive and filled with unique motion graphics.In addition to working as a director, he freelances as a graphic designer, illustrator, editor and animator. He completed design and motion work for the upcoming doc features Go Deep (Amazon Prime, HyperObject Industries) and Have You Seen Me Lately (HBO Documentary, Ringer Films) and edited Joe Mande's comedy special CHILL (Hulu).Arthur has guest lectured at colleges and universities on a variety of subjects, including the history of conspiracy theories, internet memetics, online extremism and non-fiction filmmaking.

He discusses the four key relationships that shape our lives—our connection with the universe, ourselves, our inner circle, and our community—urging listeners to redefine success beyond material wealth. Alex also critiques the current education system and explores how we can address societal issues like homelessness and poverty through collective responsibility. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that encourages us to question the status quo and envision a more connected and compassionate world.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ryan Estes about the intersections of podcasting, AI, ancient philosophy, and the shifting boundaries of consciousness and technology. Their conversation spans topics like the evolution of language, the impact of AI on human experience, the role of sensory interfaces, the tension between scientism and spiritual insight, and how future technologies might reshape power structures and daily life. Ryan also shares thoughts on data ownership, the illusion of modern VR, and the historical suppression of mystical knowledge. Listeners can connect with Ryan on LinkedIn and check out his podcast at AIforFounders.co.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop and Ryan Estes open with thoughts on podcasting, conversation as primal instinct, and the richness of voice communication.05:00 – Language and consciousness, bicameral mind theory, early religion, and auditory hallucinations.10:00 – AI, cognitive ergonomics, interfacing with tech, new modes of communication, and speculative consciousness.15:00 – Scientism, projections, and authenticity; ownership of hardware, software, and data.20:00 – Tech oligarchs, Apple, Google, OpenAI, and privacy trade-offs.25:00 – VR, escapism, illusion vs. reality, Buddhist and Gnostic parallels.30:00 – Magic, Neoplatonism, Copernicus, alchemy, and suppressed knowledge.35:00 – Oligarchy, the fragile middle class, democracy's design, and authority temptation.40:00 – AGI, economic shifts, creative labor, vibe coding, and optimism about future work.45:00 – Podcasting's future, amateur charm, content creation tools, TikTok promotion.Key InsightsConversation is a foundational human instinct that transcends digital noise and brings people together in a meaningful way. Ryan Estes reflects on how podcasting revives the richness of dialogue, countering the flattening effects of modern communication platforms.The evolution of language might have sparked consciousness itself. Drawing on theories like the bicameral mind, Estes explores how early humans may have experienced internal commands as divine voices, illustrating a deep link between communication, cognition, and early religious structures.AI is not just a tool but a bridge to new kinds of consciousness. With developments in cognitive ergonomics and responsive interfaces, Estes imagines a future where subconscious cues might influence technology directly, reshaping how we interact with our environment and each other.Ownership of software, hardware, and data is emerging as a critical issue. Estes emphasizes that to avoid dystopian outcomes—such as corporate control via neural interfaces—individuals must reclaim the stack, potentially profiting from their own data and customizing their tech experiences.Virtual reality and AI-generated environments risk becoming addictive escapes, particularly for marginalized populations. Estes likens this to a digital opiate, drawing parallels to spiritual ideas about illusion and cautioning against losing ourselves in these seductive constructs.The suppression of mystical traditions—like Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and indigenous knowledge—has led to vast cultural amnesia. Estes underscores how historical power structures systematically erased insights that modern AI might help rediscover or recontextualize.Despite the turbulence, AI and AGI offer a radically optimistic future. Estes sees the potential for a 10x productivity boost and entirely new forms of work, creativity, and leisure, reshaping what it means to be economically and spiritually fulfilled in a post-knowledge age.

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.
