We talk about inflation, the debt cycle, asset prices, populism, Britain’s decline, and why the working and middle class are being squeezed.</p><p><br></p><p>We also get into AI and the future of work. I talk through my own recent experience building a system in seven days that would once have taken a full team and hundreds of thousands of pounds, and Tom explains how AI has already changed the structure of his business.</p><p><br></p><p>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</p><p><br></p><p>TIMESTAMPS:</p><p>00:00:00 - The Economy Is Rigged</p><p>00:01:09 - Are We Driving Off a Fiscal Cliff?</p><p>00:03:04 - Debt, Money Printing and Inflation</p><p>00:04:36 - The Final Boss of Economics</p><p>00:07:02 - America’s Founding and Wealth Extraction</p><p>00:10:19 - Can America Be Saved?</p><p>00:11:46 - Economics Has Physics</p><p>00:16:06 - Debt, Cancellation and Freedom</p><p>00:19:03 - The Thucydides Trap</p><p>00:21:42 - Politics Has Not Been Disrupted</p><p>00:25:15 - Populism and the Shrinking Pie</p><p>00:29:07 - Asset Inflation Is Vile</p><p>00:35:59 - UK Politics Is Breaking Down</p><p>00:40:36 - Is Sweden Really Socialist?</p><p>00:42:40 - Where Is the Hope?</p><p>00:50:16 - Tom’s View on Bitcoin</p><p>00:53:17 - Peter’s AI Eureka Moment</p><p>00:57:56 - How AI Changed Tom’s Business</p><p>01:03:02 - The Four Futures of AI</p><p>01:12:56 - Is Reality a Simulation?</p><p>01:24:34 - Tom’s Final Warning</p><p><br></p><p>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</p><p><br></p><p>CONTACT PETE</p><p>› Website – <a href=\"http://petermccormack.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http://petermccormack.com</a></p><p>› Feedback – <a href=\"https://www.petermccormack.com/contact\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.petermccormack.com/contact</a></p><p>› Email – <a href=\"http://me@petermccormack.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">me@petermccormack.com</a></p><p>› Instagram – /mccormack555</p><p>› X/Twitter – <a href=\"https://x.com/petermccormack/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://x.com/petermccormack/</a></p><p><br></p><p>CONNECT WITH TOM BILYEU</p><p>› Twitter – <a href=\"https://x.com/TomBilyeu\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://x.com/TomBilyeu</a></p><p>› YouTube – <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/TomBilyeu\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/c/TomBilyeu</a></p><p><br></p><p>SPONSORS</p><p>› IREN - <a href=\"https://www.iren.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.iren.com/</a></p><p>› LEDN - <a href=\"https://www.ledn.io/peter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.ledn.io/peter</a></p><p><br></p><p>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</p><p><br></p><p>LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE</p><p>› Apple Podcasts: <a href=\"https://apple.co/40ruY9K\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://apple.co/40ruY9K</a></p><p>› Spotify: <a href=\"https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu</a></p><p>› Fountain: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/FountainPM\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/FountainPM</a></p><p>› YouTube: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM</a></p><p>› Rumble: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/RumblePM\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/RumblePM</a></p><p><br></p><p>FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR</p><p>› <a href=\"https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/</a></p><p>› <a href=\"https://x.com/curttayloruk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://x.com/curttayloruk/</a></p><p><br></p><p>EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK</p><p>› <a href=\"https://x.com/ConorM04\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://x.com/ConorM04</a></p><p><br></p><p>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</p>","author_name":"Peter McCormack"}
