Their goal isn’t necessarily to tilt the scales in favor of one candidate or party, but to sow political and social discord, thus weakening the US as a whole. Karim says these are the same players driving intellectual property theft, financial system attacks, and other cyber manipulations. Karim is the founder and CEO of cybersecurity firm Vigilocity. In this interview, he explains how the US could further minimize election interference and weed out espionage. He believes we rely too heavily on technology (surprising to hear from a tech guy) and that we would benefit from better human intelligence. Or as I put it, returning to old-school spies on the ground. We also dig into quantum computing’s impact on cybersecurity. I believe quantum is “the next big thing.” Karim seems to agree, and he outlines the massive challenges quantum will pose to any system that relies on encryption, including cryptocurrencies.

Dr. Lacy Hunt says the US economy is in a “very precarious situation.” Inflation is coming down, but prices are not. New cars and homes cost about 20% more than they did before the pandemic and remain out of reach for people on the middle and lower rungs of the economic ladder. The high cost of food isn’t helping, either.
Inflation hurts those who can least afford it. Lacy rams home the point—just because inflation is slowing, doesn’t mean there aren’t millions of people still suffering due to the higher costs of basic needs. Lacy walks us through the data.
We also discuss the economic impacts of artificial intelligence, the nuclear energy revival, and the pros and cons of immigration.

The Hidden Flaw in the $2T Energy Transition Plan | Mark Mills

We’re wrapping up our energy series with Mark Mills, Executive Director of the National Center for Energy Analytics. Mark and I both began our careers in manufacturing plants before American manufacturing largely moved overseas. Today, that megatrend is coming full circle, as rising labor costs in China and an increased focus on resiliency persuade businesses to bring manufacturing and production back to the US.
I see this as a positive for North America, and advances in automation will make our manufacturing even more productive.
But this boom in reshoring, or “repatriation” as Mark calls it, requires massive amounts of energy. Where will it come from? That is the focus of our interview today.
