Episode Details

When politics meets big money, jobs and prices move—this episode unpacks that collision. Original ~90 minutes, condensed to 12 minutes.

Learn how energy shocks (Project Freedom, Strait of Hormuz) ripple through wholesale and pump prices, why diesel is the hidden economic risk, and how California policy choices worsen supply and costs. Hear corporate pivots—from Coinbase layoffs and Anthropic’s bold AI claims to Michael Saylor’s liquidity moves and Apple’s AI feature settlement—and what they mean for workers.
