    America Inc: Is Trump a Socialist?

    Trump's second term introduces a radical experiment: the federal government taking equity stakes in private companies, launching TrumpRx, and threatening CEOs on Truth Social. We examine whether this represents genuine state capitalism, populism, socialism, or something entirely new—and what it means for markets, the GOP's future, and everyday citizens caught in the middle.

    Venezuela sits on the world's largest oil reserves. Nicolas Maduro has just been captured by the US military.

Plus, how Wall Street is pricing in what comes next for Venezuelan oil. Leave a review. Send it to a friend. Check out @jasperandemilefinance on Instagram for our short form content.

    We Read Every 2026 Outlook So You Don't Have To...

    Trump's approval just hit 36%. Republicans are defecting. Discharge petitions are succeeding. MAGA is losing control—and it's happening faster than anyone expected. In this episode, we break down the political crackup in DC: why Mike Johnson can't hold his caucus, why state legislatures are ignoring the White House, and what it all means for 2026. Then we get into what you really came for: our complete 2026 market outlook. We read every major Wall Street forecast—JPMorgan, Goldman, BlackRock, UBS, Wells Fargo, and more—hundreds of pages—and discussed the patterns that we noticed. Leave a review. Send it to a friend.

    Why Rate Cuts Aren't Creating Jobs, Tariffs Didn't Cause Inflation, and AI Controls Everything

    The US economy grew 3.8% last quarter—but 92% of that growth came from AI and data centers. The rest? Barely moving at 0.1%. In this episode, we break down why October 2025 saw the highest job cuts in 20 years AFTER rate cuts, why tariff inflation never materialized (hint: elasticity matters), and how the Mag 7 now controls 40% of the S&P 500. We dive into: ​Why the Fed ignoring AI is a massive problem​The two-economy split crushing Gen Z​How tariffs actually work vs. what everyone predicted​Why this isn't like the dot-com bubble (it's different, not better)​The circular revenue problem in Big Tech nobody's discussingPlus: Jerome Powell's blind spot, Trump's tariff strategy decoded, and why your ability to get a job might depend more on whether you own stocks than your actual skills.
