Bob and Jerry talk about Jensen Huang resigning at NVIDIA -- which they expected. Also, Secretary Hegseth is upbraided at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by a guard. And what is the downside of parents trying to help their children "heighten"? Jerry at 6' 3" and Bob at 6' 1" weigh in.
Mitch Roschelle, Founding Partner, Macro Trends Advisors, joins Bob to talk about the third year of a presidency in the stock market -- usually good! -- but how debt in the private markets could be a concern. And there's the government, which can't solve problems like immigration and social security, and keeps running up the debt. Then there's the Vince Gill story -- who knew he was married to Amy Grant? (Every country music fan, which Mitch is now!)
Financial analyst Tracy Byrnes joins Bob and Jerry to talk business and politics. Are we in an AI bubble -- Tracy says to stop comparing it to the dot-com era. Could the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign in Ohio backfire on him? Jerry gives an example of what happens when two AI programs talk to each other and leave out the human. Bob saw "You Can See Everything" and still can't believe it. And it's time for Free Bird from a young drummer who kills it.
Dennis Kneale, former Managing Editor at Forbes, joins Bob and Jerry to talk about the economy and politics -- and asks the question, "Why is nobody covering this economic miracle?" Bob has an answer.
How the media covered a terrorist attack. Are prediction markets subject to rigging – and why would CBS ant to depend on them? Did Nixon get a raw deal? Mayor Mamdani defines socialism – is that what our Founders had in mind? Are data center polluting the air with noise? And why would a 15-year old’s tweets cost him a job now that he’s in his 20s.
