Don and Tom expose the seductive illusion of “wealth without risk” by dissecting the explosion of equity-hedged ETFs and mutual funds. They tear into the high fees, low returns, and false promises sold by funds claiming to protect investors from market drops while capturing the upside. With support from recent Wall Street Journal coverage and AQR data, they explain how these “hedging” strategies—especially options-based ones—often underperform simple stock/bond portfolios.

Now in a new edition updated through the unprecedented 2016 presidential election, this provocative book makes a compelling case for a hidden “deep state” that influences and often opposes official U.S. policies. Prominent political analyst Peter Dale Scott begins by tracing America's increasing militarization, restrictions on constitutional rights, and income disparity since World War II. With the start of the Cold War, he argues, the U.S. government changed immensely in both function and scope, from protecting and nurturing a relatively isolated country to assuming ever-greater responsibility for controlling world politics in the name of freedom and democracy. This has resulted in both secretive new institutions and a slow but radical change in the American state itself. He argues that central to this historic reversal were seismic national events, ranging from the assassination of President Kennedy to 9/11.Scott marshals compelling evidence that the deep state is now partly institutionalized in non-accountable intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA, but it also extends its reach to private corporations like Booz Allen Hamilton and SAIC, to which 70 percent of intelligence budgets are outsourced. Behind these public and private institutions is the influence of Wall Street bankers and lawyers, allied with international oil companies beyond the reach of domestic law. Undoubtedly the political consensus about America's global role has evolved, but if we want to restore the country's traditional constitutional framework, it is important to see the role of particular cabals—such as the Project for the New American Century—and how they have repeatedly used the secret powers and network of Continuity of Government (COG) planning to implement change. Yet the author sees the deep state polarized between an establishment and a counter-establishment in a chaotic situation that may actually prove more hopeful for U.S. democracy.https://amzn.to/4k35qGoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

That's the question Wall Street and the world want answered. After the weekend U-S strike on Iran's nuclear facilities and lot of saber rattling, oil is higher. But futures are muted this morning. 

Of all the people I've interviewed since launching this Thoughtful Money channel, today's guest's portfolio management track record has been spookily accurate.The last time I interviewed, which was back in mid-March, he had drastically reduced his long positions and declared himself "ragingly bearish".And in the weeks that followed, the S&P plunged nearly 700 points to the post-Liberation Day lows.So, how is he feeling about the markets now?To find out, we'll ask the man himself.We're very fortunate to welcome back to the program Darius Dale, CEO of 42 Macro—a top Wall Street leading macro forecasting and market timing service.Darius thinks that current economic growth estimates are far too low and that, as a result, stocks will be forced to reprice higher as an 'explosive' bull market is born.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Craig Siegel, once engrossed in the high-stakes world of Wall Street, found himself surrounded by financial gains but devoid of genuine fulfillment. When faced with his father's cancer diagnosis and the strains of a toxic relationship, Craig was driven to reconsider what truly mattered in life. The pandemic became an unexpected ally, giving him the time and introspection needed to embrace personal development, leading to the birth of the CLS brand, a venture grounded in the conviction that aligning one's career with their authentic self can unlock abundance and purpose.As the discussion unfolds, we confront the startling reality that only 20% of Americans find purpose in their work. By creating intentional "white space" for reflection and introspection, we can redefine wealth not just through financial means but through awakening and actualizing our true potential. Craig's story is a testament to the resilience and determination required to overcome life's hurdles and align personal and professional aspirations. Join us for an inspiring exchange that encourages a mindset shift towards resilience, purpose, and genuine wealth.

The latest FOX News poll results show 79% of Americans do believe Iran poses a serious threat, with 78% saying they are “extremely worried about Iran acquiring a nuclear bomb.” President Trump has stressed that while he is not angling for U.S. involvement and he would have preferred they just signed a fair nuclear deal, he firmly believes we cannot allow Tehran to have a nuclear weapon. In two weeks' time, his administration will make a decision on U.S. involvement. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins to discuss the political repercussions of the President's decision in the Middle East. The stock market has recovered from April's big tariff-related plunge, but now there is new uncertainty for Wall Street to focus on when it comes to the Iran-Israel conflict in the Middle East. President of Kaltbaum Capital Management and FOX Business contributor Gary Kaltbaum joins to break down the miraculous recovery made by American businesses in the wake of “Liberation Day” tariffs and the market's resiliency so far in the face of escalations in the Middle East.

In the rubble of two world wars and the establishment of the modern state of Israel, a relatively nascent theological system exploded in popularity in America: Dispensationalism.While dispensationalism traces its roots back to the mid-19th century and steadily grew in popularity in the beginning of the 20th century, it was only with Hal Lindsey's 1970 book “The Late Great Planet Earth”, published at the height of Cold War fears and the threat of nuclear apocalypse, that its ideas firmly gripped the American consciousness.For Hal Lindsey, the supposed return of Israel to the land, the recapture of ancient Jerusalem, and the evangelism of the known world pointed to an imminent rapture and the end of days.It is understandable that in a world teetering on the brink of mutually assured nuclear annihilation, books full of apocalyptic prophecy caught on. But here we are a generation later, the Cold War long over, and many Christians are realizing that we are in this for the long haul. And one of the first orders of business is convincing our leaders that the dispensationalist framing they assumed from decades prior no longer works.A case in point of the collision of dispensationalism with the new right wing is Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson this past week, thinking the same old answers about blessing Israel and describing them as our greatest ally would work. Spoiler alert: they didn't.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Carl Quintanilla, Sara Eisen and Michael Santoli discussed stocks getting a lift --  after Fed Governor Christopher Waller told CNBC he believes the Fed could be in a position to cut rates as soon as July. The Middle East conflict also on Wall Street's radar: President Trump said he will decide within two weeks whether the U.S. military will join Israel in its attacks against Iran. The anchors interviewed a critic of Tesla's robotaxi launch expected to take place Sunday in Austin, Texas. CNBC investigates whether big tech should get multi-million dollar tax breaks for their data centers -- and how those deals are impacting state economies. Also in focus: Kroger jumps, Microsoft layoffs, a $1 trillion AI pitch from SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer

Tara and Lee break down the hidden forces driving America's recent blue-collar wage surge—revealing how Trump's immigration enforcement and economic reforms are restoring fairness in the labor market. They highlight how illegal immigration was long used by elites to suppress wages, avoid taxes, and prop up Wall Street profits—all at the expense of American workers. With nearly a million illegals self-deporting and the market readjusting, real wages are rising for the first time in decades. Plus, they expose the irony of China-backed protests on U.S. soil and the growing alignment between the Chinese Communist Party and American elites. A must-hear episode on economic justice, national sovereignty, and the long-overdue reckoning with globalist policy failures.

Markets end the day with lackluster results.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about Ted Cruz getting Tucker Carlson to suddenly flip and seemingly support the U.S. joining Israel's war with Iran; Donald Trump laying out precisely what will happen to Iran if it succeeds in assassinating him; ”The View's” Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin getting into a heated fight over the cultural differences between America and Islamic cultures like Iran; ”The View's” Ana Navarro telling her fellow CNN panelists why we need undocumented immigrants to be able to exploit immigrant labor for the jobs that Americans don't want to do; Eric Swalwell sharing an unintentionally hilarious political ad about mass deportations that redefines “fearmongering”; Fox News' Will Cain trying to make James Carville understand how damaging images from the ICE riots have been to the Democrat brand; the “Real Time with Bill Maher” crowd roaring for Whitney Cummings explaining how becoming a mother made her more of a conservative and less of a “libtard”; and much more.

Plantin' your seed in good soil ain't just a spiritual principle—it's a wealth blueprint. Too many of us out here throwin' our time, energy, and money into dry ground, then wonderin' why we ain't growin'. Nah, King… Nah, Queen... every seed got potential, but it's the soil that determines the harvest. You could have million-dollar ideas, generational vision, even divine purpose—but if you plant it in the wrong place, around people who don't believe, in environments that don't nurture growth, that seed gon' die before it ever sees sunlight. Good soil is mentorship, it's discipline, it's financial literacy, it's a circle that challenges you and feeds your faith. Spiritually, that's stayin' aligned with God's vision over your life. Financially, that's makin' wise investments, learnin' the game, and plantin' in assets that appreciate. Inspiration? That's knowin' your struggle is part of the process, but your soil—your environment—gotta match your destiny. So if you serious about freedom, about buildin' legacy, about breakin' them generational curses—check your soil. 'Cause when you plant in good ground, you don't just grow—you multiply. That's how you go from survival to abundance. Planting your Seed in GOOD SOIL | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 148) Trappin Tuesday's

Trump is touting his new “Trump Accounts” plan as part of the Big Beautiful Bill Act. The plan would provide $1,000 to every baby born in America between 2025 and 2029 in a tax deferred account that allows matching each year of up to $5,000. It’s a way to encourage savings at a young age and works similar to the successful 529 education funds, but there are key differences. Today we dissect the plan and reveal how it’s mostly political theater. It’s another giveaway to Wall Street that increases inequality because of the way it’s structured. But there’s another reason why the GOP is so keen to pass this plan that has nothing to do with making babies rich, and everything to do with erasing entitlements. Access the episode resources.

A recent Wall Street Journal analysis reveals a surge in stock trading by lawmakers and their families in early April, as President Trump’s shifting stance on tariffs sent markets into turmoil.

Most people who leave Wall Street after twenty years either retire or find another way to make a lot of money. Chris Arnade chose to walk through cities most travelers never truly see. What emerged from this approach is a unique form of street-level sociology that has attracted a devoted following on Substack. Arnade's work suggests that our most sophisticated methods of understanding the world might be missing something essential that can only be discovered by moving slowly through space and letting strangers tell you, their stories. Tyler and Chris discuss how Beijing and Shanghai reveal different forms of authoritarian control through urban design, why Seoul's functional dysfunction makes it more appealing than Tokyo's efficiency, favorite McDonald's locations around the world, the dimensions for properly assessing a city's walkability, what Chris packs for long urban jaunts, why he's not interested in walking the countryside, what travel has taught him about people and culture, what makes the Faroe Islands and El Paso so special, where he has no desire to go, the good and bad of working on Wall Street, the role of pigeons and snapping turtles in his life, finding his 1,000 true fans on Substack, whether museums are interesting, what set him on this current journey, and more.

Lina Khan has inspired an unusually bipartisan coalition of allies — and antagonists. As chair of the Federal Trade Commission, she became known as the most hated regulator on Wall Street. As too principled for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Too bold for Ticketmaster and the NCAA. But Khan isn't done taking on the corporate class — or finding strange bedfellows like Steve Bannon and Michael Jordan. Can her alleged "hipster anti-trust" movement inspire a "standing army" for the people? And could she be our next Supreme Court justice? Learn more about your ad choices.
