Space Wars, Taiwan Under Siege, and “Rich Men North of Richmond” with Dr. Pippa Malmgren

I am very excited to have Dr. Pippa Malmgren as my guest this week. Our discussion touches on a wide spectrum of strategic hot spots, including the state of modern warfare.

Rates, Housing, Inflation, and Zombies with Barry Habib

Zombie companies need cheap money to survive. Cheap money is a thing of the past, and casualties are piling up. It’s a familiar script: borrow money to fund growth, and compete on price.

Get Elected and Profit Like Pelosi

Trust in elected officials has been in steady decline for decades. It’s hard to decide if members of Congress and other elected officials are self-serving or civil servants. One thing is certain—many are getting richer while in office. They are investing based on insider knowledge. If you or I did that, we’d go to jail. If you are in Congress, it’s perfectly legal. Matt K. Lewis just released a book on this topic, and he pulls no punches. Filthy...
