    The Hidden Opportunity Inside the AI Boom

    Is the AI job apocalypse real—or just hype? In this episode of the Futures Edge, Jim Iuorio and Bobby Iaccino sit down with investor and author Jared Dillian to break down what AI actually means for jobs, markets, and the economy. While headlines predict massive job losses, Jared argues that tech revolutions take time—and often create more opportunities than they destroy. They also get into whether the market is showing dot-com bubble signs, what’s really driving inflation, where the Fed may be getting it wrong, and where smart money is moving right now. Jared shares how he’s thinking about investing today—including why he’s focused on commodities, energy, and international markets over crowded tech trades. If you’re trying to understand the AI boom and where markets go next, this is a grounded, no-nonsense conversation.

    Is your money actually safe anymore? On this episode of Futures Edge, Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino sit down with Lawrence Lepard, author of The Big Print, to break down what today’s investors are really up against: rising debt, shaky fiat currencies, inflation, Bitcoin, gold, and the growing loss of trust in government stewardship of money.

    Is America Heading for Recession? Jeffrey Tucker on Trump, Iran, Oil & Economic Reality

    What happens when rising oil prices, Middle East conflict, weakening jobs data, and America’s affordability crisis all collide at once? In this episode of Future’s Edge, Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino sit down with Jeffrey Tucker, president of the Brownstone Institute, for a wide-ranging and provocative conversation on the biggest forces shaping America right now. From Trump’s handling of Iran and the economic fallout of war, to recession fears, stagflation, tariffs, energy prices, and the slow collapse of the middle-class lifestyle, this episode pulls no punches. Jeffrey breaks down why he believes the Iran situation could be a major strategic mistake, how higher oil prices impact inflation and growth, why the latest jobs data is flashing warning signs, and whether America is drifting toward a new version of the 1970s. The conversation also digs into trade, debt, Fed policy, housing affordability, consumer habits, and the uncomfortable truth about why so many people feel poorer despite having more “stuff” than ever before. This is a deep, candid discussion about politics, markets, culture, and the real state of the American economy.
