Hormuz, Housing & RAMageddon — PBD Podcast (Condensed)
Published 2 months ago
Description
From Doritos at $7 to AI threats at the doorstep, this episode shows how geopolitics and tech collide with everyday bills. Original episode ~90 minutes; condensed to 20 minutes for the key takeaways. Host Patrick Bet-David leads a debate with Lynn Alden and Tom on how a Hormuz blockade, oil and shipping shocks, and NATO politics ripple into inflation and grocery prices; why a 10 million home shortfall, NIMBYism, and higher rates keep rents high; and how a rapid AI data‑center buildout (the “RAMageddon” effect) strains electricity, chip supply, and regulations. You'll also get analysis of gold’s surge, the security risks around high‑profile tech figures, and the social costs of childcare and education inequality. Topics: geopolitics, energy policy, housing supply, AI and data centers, market trends, and leadership decisions. Listen now to get the episode’s essential insights in minutes.
