    Is College Becoming Obsolete? | Erika Donalds Explains

    AI represents the single greatest disruption to higher education cartels in generations. That's why so many institutions are teaching students that it's evil. Erika Donalds, founder of the Education Freedom Foundation and Chair of the Center for Education Opportunity at America First Policy Institute, joins Jim Iuorio and Bobby Iaccino to break down how AI is upending the university system, where the Trump administration actually stands on dismantling the federal Department of Education, and why civics and literacy have collapsed in K-12 schools.

    How Trump Is Dismantling the Department of Education with Keri Ingraham

    Is the Department of Education really being dismantled, or is this just political theater? In this episode, Jim Iuorio sits down with Discovery Institute senior fellow Keri Ingraham to break down what's actually happening inside Washington's push to unwind federal control over K-12 education. Ingraham has been in the room for it from the White House executive order that started the process to the policy fights over student loans and school choice. They get into why the federal government only funds about 10% of public education but controls 90% of the rules, why $1.7 trillion in student loans is moving to the Treasury, and how a new $1,700 tax credit is already pulling Democrat governors into the school choice fight. Keri also makes the case for trade schools, micro schools, and rethinking what a "good" education path looks like. If you want to understand where American education is actually headed, this is the conversation. Timestamps:  00:01 Introduction and Guest Overview  01:15 Keri Ingraham's Background and Role in Washington  02:48 Is Department of Education Reform Real or Just Talk  05:41 The 10/90 Funding and Regulation Gap 09:21 Returning Education Control to the States  12:05 Moving Student Loans to the Treasury  16:20 Should Loans Cover Degrees That Don't Pay Off  18:45 Aviation Academy and the $188K Pilot Path 21:06 College Networking vs Skipping the Degree  26:34 The Rise of Micro Schools  29:00 Public Education as a Jobs Program  36:22 The $1,700 Education Freedom Tax Credit 43:12 Teacher Certification as a Barrier to Talent  46:53 Personal Finance vs Algebra II in Graduation Requirements Follow Keri Ingraham https://x.com/KeriDIngraham?lang=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/keridingraham  Stay Connected With Us   https://x.com/bob_iaccino  https://x.com/jimiuorio   https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-iaccino/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-iuorio/  For business inquiries: haley@haynowmedia.com

    Is the AI Boom the Next Dot-Com Bubble? | Cameron Dawson

    The AI productivity boom everyone is celebrating isn’t real. Strip out semiconductor operating leverage, and the average S&P 500 company is still below its 2022 margin highs.

    How Stress Accelerates Aging | UCLA Psychologist Explains

    Jim Iuorio spent 39 years on a trading floor. Bobby Iaccino once broke his golf clubs in half and threw them in a lake because he couldn't handle being bad at something. Both admit they beat themselves up constantly to perform better. Dr. Steven Sideroff, a UCLA clinical psychologist and peak performance researcher, says they've had it completely backwards. Sideroff, who has published research describing stress as "the master hallmark of aging," explains why traders and high performers become neurologically wired to crave stress, why beating yourself up actually undermines performance instead of improving it, and why the body can only operate in one of two modes at a time: defend-and-protect or heal-and-grow. They also get into the nine pillars of his resilience model, how the emotional state of people around you can physically alter your own brainwave patterns, and practical tools for sleep, recovery, and breaking automatic stress patterns that no longer serve you.
