Nicolle Wallace covers everything that has transpired a week after Donald Trump waged war with Iran. 8 U.S. service members have died, the White House did not rule out a draft, the Wall Street Journal says we are facing the worst energy crisis since the 1970s, and the Iranian regime has named Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as the new Ayatollah. Amid all the chaos, Trump told a CBS reporter today that the war is Iran “is very complete.” Later, Nicolle covers reporting from the Daily Mail that suggests that the White House is blocking the publication of a report by the FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center which warns local law enforcement across the U.S. of the potential of terrorist attacks due to the war in Iran.

The ultra-wealthy get access to private equity, private credit, and pre-IPO deals the rest of us don't. Now, suddenly, those same deals are being marketed to you. Coincidence? Maybe. Cause for suspicion? Absolutely. Joe, OG, and Doug settle in at the basement desk (yes, Joe's mom's basement — the most prestigious financial address in podcasting) to dig into a Wall Street Journal headline asking whether everyday investors should be chasing the same private deals as the 1%. OG breaks down why "exclusive access" and "higher returns" can also mean binary outcomes, illiquidity traps, and a failure rate that the ultra-wealthy can absorb — and you probably can't. Oh, and there's a Ty Lopez–led retail investment that allegedly became a Ponzi scheme. So that's fun. What's in today's episode: Why private equity and private credit are suddenly being pitched to regular investors — and what that timing might tell you The real difference between risk-free returns, stock market investing, and private bets (they are not the same thing, no matter what the brochure says) How "exclusive opportunity" can be a polite way of saying "binary outcome with limited exits" A real-world look at regulation risk using Airbnb as the example What liquidity actually means — and what happens when you need your money back and the market says "no" The Ty Lopez distressed retail saga and how it allegedly went full Ponzi Why private credit often means lending to borrowers who couldn't get money elsewhere The uncomfortable truth about who gets targeted by aggressive investment marketing (hint: it's people who feel behind) OG also walks through an SEC-inspired framework for evaluating any investment before you hand over a dollar: Build a financial roadmap before chasing complex deals Know your actual risk tolerance (not the aspirational version) Diversify — for real, not just in theory Handle your emergency fund and high-interest debt first Grab every employer match on the table Rebalance regularly How to spot the early signs of fraud before it costs you Also in the basement: Doug drops Mustang trivia (the 1964 Ford kind, not the horse kind). The TikTok Minute rides off into the sunset, replaced by a shiny new back-to-basics segment. There are community meetup updates — including Benjamins After Dark in Boston. And somehow, against all odds, Kool-Aid nostalgia becomes a conversation. Because sometimes the most dangerous investment isn't the one that looks risky. It's the one that sounds like something only smart, wealthy, connected people get access to. Pull up a chair. The basement is open.

They explore shortages in skilled labor, the value of transferable business skills, and the importance of knowing yourself when choosing a career. Listener questions then cover whether Robinhood's transfer bonuses make the platform worth considering, the realities of starting a second career as a financial advisor later in life, and whether switching from the Avantis Global Equity ETF (AVGE) to the more value-tilted AVGV makes sense inside an IRA. 0:04 Why today's topic isn't investing but earning money—rethinking career paths in the age of AI 1:15 White-collar layoffs and stagnant wages: why some workers may reconsider the trades 2:32 Labor shortages in skilled jobs and the surprising opportunities in service and technical roles 3:31 Don's brief career as a car dealership service advisor—and learning to drive a stick shift the hard way 6:46 Apprenticeships, pay potential, and career ladders in skilled trades 9:05 Blue-collar employment rising among younger workers 9:47 Massive labor shortages: factory workers, construction workers, and auto technicians 11:35 Pensions today—why unions still offer them while many corporations no longer do 13:04 Career wandering in your twenties and discovering the right path 14:23 Listener Mike: Is Robinhood okay if you ignore the gambling features and just invest? 17:23 Listener Dominic: Starting a second career as a financial planner at age 55 19:14 Why great advisors succeed because of people skills—not investment knowledge 21:03 Will AI reduce the number of financial advisors needed? 23:18 Listener Angela: Switching from AVGE to AVGV inside an IRA 24:47 Risk differences between global equity and global value portfolios Learn more about your ad choices.

Time is supposed to heal everything. But for the millions of people navigating divorce after betrayal, that promise falls flat. They're functioning, managing the kids, showing up to work, doing all the things, and still carrying the weight of something that happened years, sometimes decades, ago. Fine, it turns out, is not the same as healed. In this powerful episode, Susan Guthrie welcomes back Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and author of the new book Unstuck:The Practitioner's Guide to Moving Betrayal Clients from Survival to Transformation. Together, they unpack why so many people who have experienced betrayal, whether infidelity, financial deception, or the shattering of expectations that comes with divorce itself, get trapped in a cycle that looks like survival but feels like anything but living. Dr. Debi's research, drawn from over 100,000 people tested, reveals that healing from betrayal is not just possible. It is predictable. This conversation is for anyone who has ever asked, "Why am I still not over this?" Whether you are in the middle of a divorce, just discovering a betrayal, or years out and still feeling its grip, the lessons in this episode apply. It is also essential listening for the legal professionals, coaches, therapists, and mediators who want to understand what is truly going on beneath the surface. What You'll Learn Betrayal in divorce is not just about infidelity. It is a collapse of trust on every level How Post Betrayal Syndrome keeps people physically, mentally, and emotionally stuck long after the relationship has ended The five proven, predictable stages of betrayal recovery and why most people unknowingly park in Stage Three Why self-trust is the real wound of betrayal and how rebuilding it through boundaries, intuition, and small kept promises is where healing actually begins How the Window of Willingness reveals whether the person who betrayed you is genuinely doing the work, and what that means for your path forward Why transformation does not begin until Stage Four and how Dr. Debi's new book Unstuck gives practitioners a roadmap for guiding betrayal clients all the way through, not just to fine About the Guest  Dr. Debi Silber, Founder and CEO of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day, is an award-winning speaker and 2-time #1 International bestselling author.

In a recent Wall Street Journal interview, Bill Gates revisited his controversial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, acknowledging that meeting with the convicted sex offender was "a huge mistake." However, Gates's admission of “foolishness” rings hollow to critics, who question why such a highly intelligent and influential figure would repeatedly associate with Epstein, even after his criminal history was publicly known. Gates claimed he engaged with Epstein in hopes of advancing global health philanthropy, yet no tangible benefits emerged from these meetings, raising concerns about his judgment and motivations. Critics argue that Gates's wealth and power afforded him ample resources to explore other philanthropic avenues without involving a figure as toxic as Epstein.Additionally, Gates's attempts to downplay the personal fallout from his ties to Epstein invite further skepticism. Reports suggest that Epstein tried to exploit their acquaintance by threatening to expose an alleged affair involving Gates, adding a layer of complexity to the narrative. Gates's repeated meetings with Epstein—despite his then-wife Melinda French Gates expressing discomfort—cast doubt on his sincerity and decision-making. His efforts to frame the relationship as a lapse in judgment fail to address the broader implications of why someone in his position would disregard ethical concerns for potential personal or professional gain. This relationship has left a lingering stain on Gates's reputation, with critics questioning whether his contrition comes from genuine regret or the need to repair his public image.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Gates Addresses His Friendship with Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein: ‘I Was Foolish'

Lindsey Graham claims credit for pushing Donald Trump into an unauthorized war with Iran by using word association games and flattery. This conflict has escalated rapidly as the US and Israel utilize advanced artificial intelligence to pick bombing targets and assess battle damage. Despite the lack of an imminent threat or a clear exit strategy, military strikes have already resulted in the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials. Iran has retaliated by targeting US radar installations across the Gulf region, successfully degrading defense systems in multiple countries. At home, American citizens face the consequences with gas prices surging toward $5 a gallon. Within the Republican party, internal friction grows as Dan Crenshaw loses his primary for being insufficiently aligned with the MAGA movement. Donald Trump now threatens to block all legislation unless the SAVE Act is passed, even as a record number of GOP members choose to retire rather than serve in the minority. While global tensions rise and Trump suggests Cuba may be the next target, the focus remains on a war that many argue was entirely avoidable.

Who should be responsible for an American retirement? For the early part of the nation's history, that was never a consideration. The fate of older Americans was on them. Then in the early 20th century, a host of movements ushered in company pensions and Social Security, helping to create the modern-day idea of retirement for many workers. But as pensions fade into 401(k)s and Social Security teeters, workers again find themselves bearing more responsibility and risk of financing their golden years.  This episode is part of The Wall Street Journal's USA250: The Story of the World's Greatest Economy, a collection of articles, videos and podcasts aiming to offer a deeper understanding of how America has evolved.
