    Unfortunately, the hosts and reporters always seem to paint a negative picture of the economy, and America. If you listen to this podcast you could come away thinking America’s a pretty awful place. Wish it was objective, not political

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

My Monday Morning: Suze Orman
Q: What time do you usually get up on a Monday, and what's the first thing you do after waking up?
She rises around 5 a.m., spends a few minutes exercising in bed, then enjoys coffee with KT on the front terrace while watching the sunrise, starting the week with routine and calm.
Will Meta's $18 Billion Settlement Change Social Media?
Q: What protections does the settlement secure for kids and teens?
The agreement imposes mandatory protections—default two-hour daily limits for under-18 users, overnight restrictions, disabling push alerts during school hours, removing visible likes for teens, and implementing robust age-assurance technology—along with independent auditing to ensure compliance.
Will Meta's $18 Billion Settlement Change Social Media?
Q: When did you decide to start negotiating a settlement?
We began engaging with Meta and similar firms from the outset, recognizing the compelling nature of the case, and ultimately chose to settle when the protections could be secured, rather than risk years of ongoing litigation with uncertain verdicts.
Why Flock Cameras Are Facing Backlash
Q: What are Flock cameras actually collecting and how does that data get used?
They collect license plate data plus vehicle characteristics and can search across time and jurisdictional lines, enabling police and clients to track movement and reconstruct trips, with concerns about warrants and privacy.
Let’s Talk Bonds. Treasury Bonds.
Q: What factors do bond traders look at when deciding yields on Treasury bonds?
Traders closely watch inflation, expectations for Federal Reserve policy on short-term rates, and the overall balance between government borrowing needs and market demand. If inflation remains higher or is expected to rise, yields tend to increase to compensate for the reduced purchasing power of money over time, while expectations of future rate hikes push short-term yields higher too.
