The hosts speculate on a "shadow presidency" involving Barack Obama, noting his prominent appearance at the COP26 climate summit. They suggest Obama sees himself as a modern FDR, pushing for a "Great New Deal" through piecemeal legislation like the infrastructure bill. They argue that the current administration is moving toward Universal Basic Income (UBI) and a cashless society to increase state control.
The discussion explores the theory of a "less people is good for business" agenda being pushed at COP26. They argue that ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing rules prevent pension funds from investing in profitable companies like ExxonMobil. The hosts suggest that Wall Street has abandoned the bottom line in favor of a "woke paradigm" fueled by free money and share buybacks.
