Financial Crash Expert: He Predicted The 2008 Crash, Now He Says Capitalism Failed, It’s Too Late!

Is the West collapsing, or is the planet? Political commentator Konstantin Kisin and rebel economist Steve Keen go head-to-head on the biggest questions facing the West: immigration, the debt crisis, climate change, Trump, China and the future of AI. Konstantin Kisin is a satirist, social commentator and author, best known as the co-host of the Triggernometry podcast and the author of ‘An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West’. Born in the Soviet Union and now based in Britain, he has become one of the most prominent voices on free speech, culture and the rise of populism. Steve Keen is an economist, author and one of the most vocal critics of mainstream economic thinking. A former Professor of Economics, he is the author of several books including ‘Debunking Economics’ and ‘The New Economics: A Manifesto’, and is currently writing his upcoming book ‘How Economists Will Destroy Capitalism’.

Secretary Pete Buttigieg: The American Dream Is DEAD. We're Running Out Of Time To Fix It!

Former US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says the American experiment is on the brink. He argues that the country is at risk of losing its democracy, the problems Americans feel every day are not accidents, and that fixing it will mean doing the hard things almost no one wants to do. Pete Buttigieg is the former United States Secretary of Transportation, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a Rhodes Scholar, and a Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan. He ran for president in 2020 and is now widely regarded as one of the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028. Out of office for the first time in years, he speaks with unusual candour about power, war, the economy, and where America goes next. He explains: ◼ Why he believes American democracy is genuinely on the brink, and what it would actually take to save it ◼ The real story behind the strike on Iran and the "ceasefire" that wasn't ◼ Why a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter, and whether a wealth tax is the answer ◼ How AI is about to disrupt not just jobs but people's identities, and who he thinks should share in the gains ◼ What he says the administration really hid about the American troops who died The views expressed are those of the guest, and this conversation is intended for general informational purposes only.

Vitamin D Expert: The Supplement World Is Giving The WRONG Advice!

Nearly 1 in 3 American adults now take vitamin D, but Dr. Stasha Gominak says many of them are taking it wrong, and that done carelessly, supplementing can leave you worse off than before. Dr. Stasha Gominak practiced neurology for over 20 years.

The Man Who Made $100M Before 32: The Secret Was To Stop Letting Them Control Me | Alex Hormozi

Every founder is being told to build an AI company. Alex Hormozi says almost all of them will be gone within months, that the best move is the exact opposite of what the market is saying, and that in a world of AI the only moat left will be reality and your reputation. Alex Hormozi is a entrepreneur, investor and author.

He explains: ◼ Why the practical businesses, like plumbing, are the real opportunity, not the ones built on top of AI models ◼ Why delegating your hardest thinking to a machine makes you weak ◼ Why reality and reputation are the only moats AI can't erode ◼ Why revenue retention matters more than marketing or sales ◼ Why marrying his wife Leila was the best financial decision he ever made, and how the right partner changes your odds ◼ He opens up about one of the hardest years of his life, in the same year he made more money than ever The views expressed are those of the guest, and this conversation is intended for general informational purposes only.

Leading Cancer Researcher: They’re Ignoring My Research, Cancer Patients Must Know This!

1,700 Americans will die from cancer today. 70 every single hour. Professor Thomas Seyfried says it doesn't have to be this way, and that mainstream oncology has misunderstood cancer for 100 years.

He is author of the book 'Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer' and co-developer of the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) and the “press-pulse” therapeutic strategy.  He explains: ◼ Why he believes cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease, not a genetic one ◼ Why cancer cells feed on two fuels and the strategy his team uses to starve tumors  ◼ How a ketogenic diet could lower your GKI and make chemo and immunotherapy work better ◼ The environmental drivers quietly damaging your mitochondria ◼ How his team is keeping glioblastoma patients alive for years, and why almost no patient is ever told this option exists The views expressed are those of the guest, and this conversation is intended for general informational purposes only.

OpenAI Whistleblower FINALLY Speaks: “AI Has A 70% Chance Of Going Horribly Wrong!“

Ex-OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo walked away from $2 million rather than stay silent, and now reveals why he believes there's a 70% chance AI leads to human extinction, why superintelligence could arrive before the end of the decade, and the one plan he thinks could still save us all! Daniel Kokotajlo is a former OpenAI researcher and one of the world's leading AI forecasters. He is the founder of the AI Futures Project and the lead author of 'AI 2027', the widely-read scenario mapping the trajectory of artificial intelligence. His follow-up, 'AI 2040: Plan A', sets out how the world could still navigate superintelligence safely. He explains: ■ What he saw inside OpenAI that made him walk away ■ Why the people building AI privately believe it's coming even sooner than the public is being told ■ What happens if AI becomes powerful enough that humans can no longer control it, and why he puts the odds of catastrophe as high as 70% ■ Why almost every job could be automated, and what that means for the next generation ■ The plan he believes could still lead to abundance and a future worth living in Chapters 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:14 Why This AI Mission Could Affect Everyone 00:04:01 Why the Average Person Should Care About AI 00:08:09 Are AI Experts Overreacting or Sounding the Alarm? 00:09:46 Why He Joined OpenAI—and What He Saw Inside 00:13:04 Why He Left OpenAI 00:15:33 What It Was Like Inside OpenAI During ChatGPT's Launch 00:16:56 The $2 Million NDA Controversy Explained 00:19:10 Is Full AI Automation Coming Faster Than We Think? 00:23:59 The AI 2027 Forecast That Changed the Conversation 00:26:13 AGI vs. Superintelligence: The Difference That Matters 00:26:57 How Robots Could Soon Become Part of Everyday Life 00:30:03 Why AI Works More Like the Human Brain Than You Think 00:35:54 Can AI Ever Be Truly Creative? 00:40:55 What Are the Real Odds of Human Extinction From AI? 00:47:38 What AI Will Do to Jobs 00:54:25 The Skills That Will Still Matter in an AI World 01:00:01 AI 2040: What the Future Could Look Like 01:04:16 The Different Futures AI Could Create 01:09:13 Will AI Become Earth's Apex Species? 01:12:58 How AI CEOs Really Make Decisions 01:15:17 Will AI Decide the 2028 Election? 01:18:38 Is There a Safe Path to Accelerating AI? 01:21:51 By 2031, AI Could Do 20% of Cognitive Work 01:24:55 Should Everyone Receive AI Dividends? 01:32:21 What It Will Feel Like to Live Through the AI Revolution 01:33:51 How People Find Purpose After AI Replaces Jobs 01:45:52 Would He Shut Down AI Forever If He Could? 01:49:36 What Can We Actually Do About AI? 01:57:05 Is It Already Too Late to Change Course?

UFC Legend Dustin Poirier: I Lost My Mind. I’ll Never Let It Happen Again.

UFC legend Dustin Poirier reveals why he can't bring himself to watch the arrest video, the paid deals he's already lost, his vow to never drink again, and why the hardest fight of his life is happening off the mat. Dustin Poirier (“The Diamond”) is a retired UFC lightweight fighter with a 30-10 record, best known as the only man to knock out Conor McGregor in MMA.
