America spends more than ever on education—yet most students are falling behind. Why? And what can actually fix it?
Dr. Keri Ingraham, Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute and one of the nation’s leading voices on education reform, exposes what’s broken in U.S. education—and what real solutions look like.
Dr. Ingraham shares firsthand insight from her visits to the White House, explains why 7 out of 10 American students can’t read or do math at grade level, and outlines why centralized bureaucracy has failed parents, teachers, and kids alike.
What You'll Learn in this episode of the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino:
- Why dismantling the U.S. Department of Education could improve outcomes immediately
- How school choice, micro-schools, and industry-specific high schools are changing lives
- Why teacher unions protect bad incentives—and punish excellence
- The real data behind “defunding education” claims
- How AI and workforce-aligned education can prepare kids for the future
- Why parents—not bureaucrats—must control education decisions
- What states like Indiana, Arizona, and New Hampshire are doing differently
- How education failure impacts economic competitiveness, markets, and national security
This is not a political conversation—it’s a policy and accountability conversation with massive implications for families, taxpayers, and the future workforce.
If you care about:
✔ Your kids’ education
✔ Economic freedom and innovation
✔ Workforce readiness
✔ Long-term market and societal stability
…this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.

What if the cultural battles of the last decade — DEI, BLM, campus politics, “woke capitalism,” and corporate virtue signaling — weren’t organic at all, but manufactured chaos that finally hit its breaking point?
In this explosive episode of Futures Edge, hosts Bob Iaccino and Jim Iuorio sit down with one of the sharpest, most fearless cultural analysts in America: Professor Wilfred Reilly — political scientist, data-driven truth-teller, and author of Hate Crime Hoax, Taboo, and Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me.
Reilly brings the fire right away — from the fall of DEI in corporate America, to the hypocrisy of COVID-era politics, to the real origins of campus radicalism and why the University of Illinois mascot controversy was “the precursor to BLM, Antifa, and all the BS we’re dealing with today.”
This episode is packed with sharp commentary, humor, uncomfortable truths, and the kind of clarity you only get from someone who lives in both academia and the real world.

What if the most important market move happening right now… isn’t the one you’re watching?
In this month's technical analysis segment with Mike Arnold, Chief Strategist of Path Trading Partners—and the guy Jim says “basically directs almost all my investments at this point.” Today, he joins Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino for another no-BS, caffeine-fueled breakdown of what’s actually happening beneath the charts.

🔹 What level could trigger MicroStrategy pain and broader capitulation
🔹 NASDAQ’s technical setup, percent-B buy signals, rotation zones & next targets
🔹 S&P outlook, key support zones, and whether equities are still in a bubble
🔹 The dollar debasement trade — and why investors are being forced into risk assets
Mike breaks down the exact levels he’s watching — what confirms a double bottom, what triggers it, and why those two things are very different. If you’ve ever wanted to understand how pros use technicals in real time, this is your episode.

When we talk about the issues facing our cities—violence, inequality, broken trust—we often miss the root cause: the breakdown of the family.
Adam B. Coleman, founder of Wrong Speak Publishing, co-founder of the THIRST Network, author, and public speaker, joins Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino on Futures Edge to unpack how fatherlessness, fractured homes, and shifting cultural values are quietly unraveling society.

More than a diagnosis, it’s a call to rebuild what truly matters: healthy families, strong foundations, and love that lasts.

They’re all influencing the markets in ways you might not expect.
Amelia Bourdeau returns to the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to connect the dots between seemingly disparate topics—like the mystery surrounding the Epstein client list, tariffs’ complex effect on inflation, and the Federal Reserve’s policy missteps—to offer a sharp look at where the economy may be headed.
From the dollar’s decline and rising geopolitical tensions to AI’s rapid infiltration of industries like healthcare and manufacturing, they explore key trends investors need to watch. Plus, hear why luxury goods like Ferrari still dominate—and how personal experiences shape market intuition and strategy.
Whether you’re curious about the future of the U.S. dollar, the real impact of AI, or why tariffs aren’t as inflationary as you think, this episode delivers insights, predictions, and a few surprises along the way.
