Financial Catastrophe –When the Fed Has to Undo What They've Done Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

This week on American Consequences with Trish Regan, Trish welcomes veteran investor Neil Grossman. Neil has spent the last two decades in the financial industry working as a proprietary trader, asset manager, and market-maker in roles at JPM Morgan and Senior Risk Banker at Norges Bank (Central Bank of Norway).

In this Episode, Trish and Neil discuss how the Fed's actions of recent years have distorted any potential signals the markets usually show. He notes that their financial manipulation keeps warping the economy so much that regular American investors will end up paying the price. But with October being a historically challenging month for the markets, will next month be another correction?

And if not, when?

The End of America; Dr. Ron Paul on Gold Standard, Failed Foreign Policy and Runaway Inflation Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

Trish Regan and American Consequences welcomes American politician Ron Paul.

A former Congressman and three-time Presidential Candidate, Dr. Ron Paul has been the leading advocate for political liberty for over 50 years.

Ron's libertarian crusade has him fighting for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency.

With the recent anniversary of the removal of the gold standard and the US Dollar in 1971, Trish and Dr. Paul discuss the problems of today with Nixon's decision 50 years ago, including inflation that rivals 1970's and what that means for Middle-Class Americans (hint: it's not good).

Join Trish and Dr. Ron Paul as they take you through why we've seen the destruction of sound money policy and why it's led to the "End of America."

Fighting For Freedom of Speech: The Alternative to Facebook Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

Our freedom of speech is under attack...

Big Tech dictates what we can see, read, and discuss, and if left unchecked, Big Tech's bias will destroy all independent thought.

Thankfully, one social media entrepreneur is committed to preventing this from happening. Mark Weinstein, who's founder and chairman of the new social network MeWe, says he knew this was his calling in 2011 when he heard Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg say, "The social norm is just something that's evolved over time."The rise of online social networking should not mean that people no longer have an expectation of privacy.

Mark is world-renowned as a leading privacy advocate and has more than 20 year's experience in privacy and social media. MeWe's unbiased platform is described as the anti-Facebook… providing folks around the world with an ad-free communication network they can trust.

Join Trish and Mark on this week's edition of American Consequences podcast for an in-depth discussion about free speech, Big Tech, and how MeWe is changing the social media landscape for good.

P.J. O'Rourke: Power-Hungry Leaders Revel in COVID Shutdowns Jul 29, 2021

Show notes

American Consequences Editor-in-Chief and best-selling author P.J. O'Rourke joins Trish in this episode and they dive into a variety of topics, including his updated blockbuster book Eat the Rich that he's giving away for free at freepjbook.com.

P.J. talks with Trish about the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, the state of small businesses, masks, shutdowns, and inflated prices of goods and services. P.J. isn't President Biden's biggest fan and worries that the administration will impose more lockdowns should health concerns continue.

Human nature shows us that people in power like to exercise that power, says P.J., and while politicians are attempting to uphold the health and safety of our country (no easy feat), they're still human and delight in shutdowns… perpetuating said power.

With COVID-19 variants on the rise, small businesses can't withstand another shutdown, and the country can't continue to print money and prop them up… It's a recipe on how to tear this country apart, even more so than it already is. President Biden needs to show leadership that unifies.

Inflation, a pandemic, human nature, and general discourse has us all on the edge of our proverbial seats.

Antitrust, Free Speech, and Amazon: Not all Monopolies Are Alike Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

Big Tech has long since outgrown itself, America. And we have a push-pull relationship with the likes of Apple, Google, and Facebook. As much as we decry their monopolistic, First Amendment-crushing ways of shadow-banning and demonetization, we're also helplessly tied to these giants to participate in the digital world.

The silicon quandary is two-fold, as the questions of Big Tech's unchecked power invite antitrust monopoly-busting concerns along with the free speech argument. Enter the oft-maligned Section 230, an antiquated act that allows these platforms to skirt any responsibility for content moderation, as they're just hosting the posts, not publishing them.

And there's a further wrinkle in all this: Amazon. Bezos' creation somehow skirts the definition of a classic monopoly, as the e-retail Everything Store does lower consumer prices and improve services, albeit at the cost of excluding competitors.

But there could be a shake-up soon in Silicon Valley. Biden's appointed the promising Lina Khan as the new FTC Commissioner – think of her like Elliot Ness, but instead of going after Al Capone, she has her sights set on Mark Zuckerberg.

Columbia Professor John Coffee, an expert in securities law, joins Trish to stress the urgency of dismantling Big Tech while noting the legislative and legal willpower required to hold companies like Facebook and Apple accountable.

The two also discuss the EU's suit against Google, the predatory practices of app stores, and why corporate crime so often goes unpunished.
