Guest: Cathie Wood, CEO & CIO, ARK Invest

Host: ARK Invest

Main Topic

Cathie Wood argues that the world is entering a new technology‑driven growth regime comparable to the Industrial Revolution, with AI, robotics, energy storage, blockchain, and genomics as the core platforms. She expects real GDP growth to accelerate sharply while inflation falls, producing a macro environment more like the pre‑Depression era than the post‑WWII period—with implications for interest rates, debt sustainability, oil, gold, Bitcoin, and equities.

Guest: Peter Thiel, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, PayPal and Palantir co‑founder, early Facebook investor

Host: Citadelles (article / analysis)

Main Topic

The article explores Peter Thiel’s controversial theory that the gravest AI risk may not be the technology alone, but a political system that uses fear of AI, climate change, pandemics, or nuclear war to create a centralized, global, and permanent regime of control. In Thiel’s religious-political framing, such a system resembles the Antichrist: a force that promises peace and safety while limiting human freedom, technological progress, and political pluralism.

Guest: Raoul Pal, Founder/CEO, Global Macro Investor & Real Vision

Host: Raoul Pal (X / social media commentary)

Main Topic

Raoul Pal argues that long‑run growth is driven by population, productivity, and debt, that AI is structurally disinflationary and should eventually lift productivity, but that measured productivity has slowed in 2026, giving Fed Chair Kevin Warsh room to hold or cut rates. In that context, he remains structurally bullish on Bitcoin and risk assets as hedges against currency debasement and as beneficiaries of easier financial conditions.

Guest: Dr. Mike Varshavski (Doctor Mike)

Host: Doctor Mike (YouTube channel)

Main Topic

Dr. Mike explains what peptides are, how a gray‑market “wellness peptide” boom emerged, and why a recent FDA advisory committee vote to recommend adding six of seven popular peptides to the 503A bulks list is controversial. He argues that the process bypassed normal evidence standards, was driven by conflicted committee members, and risks creating a shortcut to widespread use of under‑studied injectables.

Guest: Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, David Friedberg (The “Besties”)

Host: The All‑In Podcast

Main Topic

The episode debates whether OpenAI’s new model marks the arrival of AGI, compares today’s AI boom to the late‑1990s tech bubble, and discusses the Hugging Face “agent hack” controversy, NYC’s K‑8 AI ban, and a U.S.–Venezuela oil deal—while offering advice to founders on how to navigate a euphoric but uncertain cycle.

Guest: Jensen Huang, CEO & Founder, Nvidia; interviewed by Howard Lutnick, U.S. Commerce Secretary

Host: DRM News (G20 Innovation Ministerial, Chapel Hill, NC)

Main Topic

Jensen Huang argues that AI is now a form of productive infrastructure comparable to energy, with intelligence sold as “tokens” (dollars per million tokens) rather than just software. He presents a five‑layer AI stack (energy → chips → data centers → models → data & applications), urges every country to build domestic AI infrastructure, and claims the world is “practically at AGI” while dismissing mass job‑loss fears as “nonsense.”

Guest: Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg

Host: The All-In Podcast

Main Topic

The episode examines whether the AI boom is accelerating or becoming a bubble, using Nvidia’s record results and Salesforce’s recovery as evidence that AI infrastructure spending and enterprise software demand remain strong. It also discusses China’s robotics optimism, AI agents, Nvidia’s move into open-source software, rising Treasury yields and U.S. debt risks, the use of AI in journalism, U.S.–Russia diplomacy, Meta’s settlement and teen-safety rules, and Moderna’s mRNA cancer-vaccine progress.

Guest: Ron Baron, Founder & CIO, Baron Capital

Host: Baron Capital

Main Topic

Ron Baron explains his long‑horizon, business‑owner approach to investing using SpaceX (and Tesla) as case studies, arguing that SpaceX’s reusable rockets, Starlink internet, and planned space‑based AI compute create a multi‑trillion‑dollar opportunity that justifies holding through extreme volatility and short‑term noise.

Guest: Daniel Kokotajlo, former OpenAI researcher; founder, AI Futures Project; lead author of “AI 2027” and “AI 2040: Plan A

Host: Steven Bartlett, The Diary Of A CEO

Main Topic

Kokotajlo argues that leading AI labs are racing to build superhuman systems within years, that this could automate most cognitive work and concentrate extreme power, and that there is a high (around 70%) chance the default path leads to catastrophe—including potential human extinction—unless governance, safety, and distribution models change dramatically.

Guest: Ticker Symbol: YOU

Host: Ticker Symbol: YOU

Main Topic

The video argues that the sharp sell-off in AI-related equities may represent a buying opportunity rather than the end of the AI investment cycle. It focuses on three areas—memory semiconductors, “neocloud” companies, and quantum computing—and explains why the host believes selected companies in these segments could benefit from continued AI infrastructure spending.

Guest: Dr. Michael Burry

Host: Dr. Michael Burry

Main Topic

Burry argues that U.S. equities sit at historically extreme valuations after a 34‑year stretch above long‑term average Shiller CAPE, propped up by passive flows and buybacks in a structurally fragile market where crashes are getting sharper and more correlated—and where demographic and corporate shifts will soon turn the structural bid into a structural sell.

Guest: Dagogo Altraide (ColdFusion)

Host: Dagogo Altraide (ColdFusion)

Main Topic

The episode explains how the AI data‑center boom has turned RAM—especially high‑bandwidth and server‑grade DRAM—into the main chokepoint of the AI era, creating a global memory shortage that is already driving up prices, reshaping chipmakers’ priorities, and threatening a multi‑year squeeze on consumer electronics from PCs and phones to game consoles.

Guest: Nick, Coin Bureau Finance

Host: Nick, Coin Bureau Finance

Main Topic

The video explains how Germany went from Europe’s “economic miracle” to the only G7 economy in recession, tracing a self‑inflicted energy crisis, migration shock, auto‑industry collapse, and infrastructure decay—and then examines whether a radical 500 billion euro fiscal and defense pivot marks genuine revival or just managed decline. ​

Guest: Citrini Research (CITRINI) and Alap Shah, macro and thematic equity researchers

Host: Citrini Research Macro Memo (fictional June 2028 memo written from the future) ​

Main Topic

The report is a thought‑experiment that imagines a “Global Intelligence Crisis” by 2028: AI and agentic automation radically boost productivity and profits but hollow out white‑collar jobs, crush intermediation business models, and trigger a systemic macro shock where GDP looks strong on paper while the human consumer economy, private credit complex, and even prime mortgages are pushed toward crisis. ​

Guest: Dr. Anas Alhajji, Managing Partner, Energy Outlook Advisors; former Chief Economist, NGP Energy Capital; former professor, Colorado School of Mines

Host: Erik Townsend

Main Topic

The episode explains why the consensus “oversupplied, bearish oil” story for 2026 is wrong, arguing instead that apparent surpluses are mostly accounting artifacts and strategic stockpiling, while real supply losses, seasonal demand, OPEC+ strategy, and China’s inventory policy point to range‑bound but resilient crude prices in the 60s rather than a deep oil bear market.

Guest: Peter Schiff, Chief Economist & Global Strategist at Euro Pacific Asset Management; Chairman of SchiffGold

Host: Rick Sanchez

Main Topic

Peter Schiff argues that China’s accelerated push to internationalize the yuan, build a SWIFT alternative, and price energy in its own currency marks an inflection point in the de‑dollarization of global finance, putting the U.S. dollar’s reserve status—and the American consumer lifestyle built on it—at serious risk, while gold and non‑U.S. assets emerge as the primary beneficiaries.

Guest: Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada

Host: World Economic Forum Special Address (Davos main stage)

Main Topic

Mark Carney argues that the old U.S‑led “rules‑based international order” is breaking, and calls on middle powers like Canada to stop “living within a lie” of great‑power benevolence and instead build a new, values‑driven, resilient order grounded in sovereignty, realism, and collective action.

Guest: Donald J. Trump, President of the United States

Host: Introduced by Larry Fink in his role at the World Economic Forum

Main Topic

President Trump uses his Davos 2026 speech to claim credit for a historic U.S. economic “turnaround” driven by tax cuts, deregulation, tariffs, fossil-fuel expansion, and tough immigration controls, while attacking Europe’s green policies and making a controversial national‑security case for American control over Greenland.
