Elon Musk has been loud and proud lately about what a problem there is with so many “activist” judges in the judiciary, undermining Donald Trump. Well, yesterday, the conservative Supreme Court affirmed just such an “activist” judge, when they ruled that District Court Judge Amir Ali, could in fact force the Trump administration to pay out $2 billion in contractually obligated USAID payments. 

Let’s dive into it.

NOTE: I’m not a lawyer so I do get semantic things wrong when I talk about legal things.

Tucker Carlson and his perpetually-furrowed eyebrows interviewed Sam Bankman-Fried from prison. Let's discuss. 

Joe Rogan is the biggest media brand in the world who recently interviewed the most powerful person in the world, Elon Musk. And while I have a certain affection for Rogan and his every-man common sense, he doesn’t hold himself to the same standard that he holds the rest of the media. 

Let’s discuss.

Chapters:

00:00 - the theme of Elon Musk on Joe Rogan

I would normally avoid cable news, but I couldn’t help but respond to Lawrence O’Donnell’s ~performance~ on his MSNBC show last week, as he reacts to Trump’s radical decision to *checks notes* not vote in favor of a UN GA resolution. It is crazy to me that the media STILL has not figured out how to cover the Trump administration in a productive and effective way. So let’s discuss

There are two different ways to understand Donald Trump and Elon Musk and they are living in my head (and fighting) rent free.

One is the version championed by the Republicans, the other, by the Democrats. Let's discuss.

BTW - I spent like 8 hours watching pundits talk about this today, so I hope you enjoy this episode 🫠

Elon Musk, DOGE, and Donald Trump have waged war on USAID - the US agency that has become a lightening rod in the debate over which party is really killing democracy. I dived in to the primary source data to try to understand for myself what is going on!

I've missed podcasting SO MUCH! 

But now I'm back and I'm here to stay.

I never wanted to talk about politics again (after working on a presidential campaign in the 2020 election cycle), buuuut.... here we are talking about DOGE, Elon, Trump, and the Democrats.

I am both frustrated by the fact that there are not enough sources I trust covering politics AND disturbed enough by what is going on that I feel it warrants diving back in.

I hope you'll join me on this journey!

Welcome to a CPR Show special! 

This is a conversation I had on the AI for Humans podcast hosted by Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira - two amazing AI enthusiasts and very entertaining guys.

We discuss the risk AI poses - espcially in politics - and how we're using AI in our daily lives. 

I think you'll enjoy this one. And if you want more of Gavin and Kevin, you can find AI for Humans wherever you get your podcasts or on YouTube using this link!

And THANK YOU for sticking around during the OPJ --> CPR Show transition. I know I've been posting less consistently lately, but I promise things will tighten up in the new year :). 

In any case, I'm so grateful for your continued support.

In today's convo with professor, former hedge fund manager, and YouTuber, Patrick Boyle, we talk about how Patrick got his professional start + ended up running his own hedge fund. I ask if investing is harder now than it was 20 years ago and if Ray Dalio lucky or smart. Plus, how he's found success on YouTube and thoughts on Elon Musk.

I hope you enjoy!

The FTX bankruptcy is shaping up to be one of the most expensive of all time. And at the helm of that ship are John Ray III and Sullivan & Cromwell... a lawfirm that has vociferously argued that they really didn't have all that much to do with FTX during it's heyday but... are they lying?

While the FTX customers are in a better position today than they were a year ago, big questions remain as to how they will be treated by the current FTX estate run by John Ray III and Sullivan & Cromwell and, so far, it's not looking ideal. Today we dive into what the FTX retail customers want and what it looks like they're going to get...
