Diversified Index Investing, AI Stocks & Market Downturns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode covers the case for disciplined, diversified index investing. It explains why stocks have built real wealth about three and a half times faster than bonds after inflation, and how owning more than 13,000 companies through four funds avoids betting on anyone's genius. It also covers why a five-year bond "war chest" lets investors ride out crashes without selling. The discussion then turns to sky-high AI valuations and echoes of the dot-com era, whether AI will replace financial advis
Inflation, School Choice & the American Dream in Idaho (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode runs from culture to cash: the case that American culture is being diluted, the American Dream as its author defined it in the 1930s, Coolidge's tax cuts set against FDR's New Deal, a bleak set of numbers on Gen Z and student debt, AI as equalizer or divider, and an Econ 101 breakdown of inflation — why gas leads, why wages lag, and why the industries government touches most are the ones whose prices climb fastest. It closes on school choice, the education tax credit, and Idaho's fr
Idaho Prop 1, Charlie Kirk & Why AI Won’t Kill Jobs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three fights in one episode: Proposition 1, the November ballot measure the episode argues would push Idaho's abortion law past where it stood before Dobbs; a Charlie Kirk memorial on the Capitol steps, where a heckling crowd across the street becomes the proof that the message landed; and a full economics lesson on the "curse of machinery," running from the tractor to Carnegie's Bessemer furnace to AI — the case that labor-saving technology has always created more work than it destroyed.
Idaho’s Prop 1 Abortion Fight & the Economics of Prices dup (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Idaho's kindergarten vaccine exemption rate has climbed to 17.5% — the highest in the country and well above neighboring Utah's 12.7%. From there: $4.6 billion in continuous appropriations that never face a legislative vote, elective continuous spending up nearly 600% in five years, a teachers' union insurance shortfall claim, Micron's $50 billion plant and the 2008 tax cap that could shield most of its value, more than 500 H-1B applications, and an Econ 101 lesson on why profit grows the pie in
Idaho’s Prop 1 Abortion Fight & the Economics of Prices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Idaho's Prop 1 abortion ballot measure dominates this episode: targeted voter-registration mail, well-funded pro-abortion ad campaigns, and the warning that complacency — not public opinion — is what could pass it in a pro-life state. The Lindsey Clancy trial raises hard questions about the insanity defense and a fix-it-with-a-pill culture. Then an Economics 101 segment on consumer choice: utility, inflation's income and substitution effects, price controls, the diamond–water paradox, and why a
