EP0352 | LIVE TONIGHT: JOIN US FOR A DEEP DIVE | MEXICO, OPEN AI, 30yr vs 50yr

·1 hr 23 min·5 clips

Gen Z and millennials are flooding Mexico's streets, protesting a mayor's assassination and alleged government-cartel collusion.

The episode opens with the hosts celebrating the podcast's seventh anniversary, reminiscing about early guests and technical mishaps. They quickly transition to discussing the protests in Mexico, sparked by the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo on November 1st, with Gen Z and millennials taking to the streets against alleged government-cartel ties. The hosts debate U.S. involvement, arguing for an 'America first' approach over intervention in Mexico or other conflicts like Ukraine and Israel. They compare Mexico's situation to El Salvador's success in reducing violence under its president, noting no political assassinations there in 40 years. The conversation then turns to the Epstein files, where an email allegedly references photos of Donald Trump 'blowing Bubba,' a nickname for Bill Clinton, though the hosts caution it's unverified. A live segment follows with an experiment using OpenAI's visual AI, where it answers 'yes' to questions about aliens, God, and living in the Matrix, creating a tense and intriguing moment. After ads for sponsors like Dr. Rafi and Mogherdichian Law, the hosts analyze Trump's proposal for a 50-year mortgage, calculating that on an $800,000 loan, it saves $547 monthly but costs nearly $1.9 million in interest over 50 years versus $1 million on a 30-year loan. They critique the idea, suggesting lower interest rates or incentives for builders as better solutions to housing affordability. The episode wraps with reflections on the real estate market's artificial inflation during COVID and a call for streamlined permitting to increase housing inventory.
