Media is too big

You can complain about how the media operates with untruths, wrap up smears, and lies all day long and it won't change them.
This is your chance to actually help disincentivize them from continuing along their current path.

The Shitshow Macro Weekly Prep Podcast for Monday February 10, 2025
Note: As the censorship “bumper lanes” are falling away from my account and these are getting more reach, I will be adding “The List” to the end of today’s (and every Monday’s) show notes. These are my first “go-to” sources that I always follow/listen to in order to stay up to date with what’s going on in each domain.
Each of these have proven accurate in most if not all of their assessments over time, even when attacked for going against the grain in their assessments. I follow many other sources for various info, but these are the foundations that I start from. I suggest anyone interested in any of the main topics of these shows follow them as well.
Domestic Politics:
-I slapped myself for not adding this in on Friday, because it made me exceptionally happy and is also a great macro societal indicator of the “current vibe” shift from just a year or so ago.
--Former Marine NYC subway hero that Alvin Bragg tried to steamroll, Daniel Penny, has been hired by the famed Andreesen-Horowitz (a16z) firm led in part by @pmarca

-I shared a clip of the All In Podcast on Friday that mentioned the discovery by DOGE that the USGOV had zero comptroller or reconciliation process in its spending.
--I listened to the whole ep this weekend, and it's so much worse. Here’s the whole episode for anyone who wants to better understand how the Twitter turnaround experience created a roadmap for DOGE, how DOGE chose where to start, and what their initial findings were:

-@MikeBenzCyber sat down with Tucker Carlson this week to help Americans who hadn’t listened to him previously understand what “The USAID Files” are laying bare for all to see.
--Note: Mike outlines some words of caution in this interview. In the audio podcast I will add some elucidation and things Mike may not be privy to from firsthand experiences of mine and those of “the community” that would not work in pithy bullet point summaries (the written version of these podcasts).

-If you want to truly “read the tea leaves” and know where global and domestic issues are heading, you need to follow and understand where the capital is flowing, and how, and through whom.
--This always happens in advance. If you know how to understand “the story” that capital flows are telling you, you can be way ahead of the crowd.
--For example, the rise in gold valuations are telling everyone a story that most are missing, even most professional financial pundits & analysts.
--Two of my favorites in this domain are Martin Armstrong and Tom Luongo (@TFL1728 ). The fact that Tom’s name on X is “head sneetch,” which was one of my ODA’s inside jokes, is just icing on the cake.
--Tom had an interview with @TFTC21 that I watched over the weekend. I suggest anyone who wants to see “the big picture” and be ahead of the crowd, on multiple fronts, watch it:

-I said on Friday that I would watch the full CBS Kamala Harris interview that was just released before sharing or commenting, and as of now I have.
--I’m not going to bullshit you for political ends - I don’t think she did quite as badly as some made it out to be.
--She was obviously flustered at times and didn’t exude confidence, had well-worn script routines that had been rehearsed with her team (as happens with all politicians), but I didn’t see any “flop.”
--The interviewer was tough, and kept her off-balance. While some viewing this through tribalism may call that poor form on his part - it’s what an adversary would try to do in any talks or meetings, so the public deserves to see if politicians can be intellectually nimble.
--She did repeat many of the total hoax taglines about Trump’s 1st admin - but that, again, is expected in politics and from political animals.
--Here it is, shared by @bennyjohnson so that you can watch for yourself:
