Monday, June 1, 2026

While the stock market pushes near all-time highs fueled by the artificial intelligence boom, hidden risks are building beneath the surface. In this episode of The Max Out Savings Show, host Ted Gioca breaks down the unprecedented influx of capital into tech mega-IPOs and contrasts it with rising global interest rates, climbing inflation, and surging commodity prices.

Later in the show, Ted is joined by West Point graduate and combat veteran Alex Miller, candidate for Texas’s 9th Congressional District. They discuss the critical importance of reindustrializing the American economy, expanding the Houston Ship Channel, and rebuilding the logistics infrastructure that supports the nation's industrial core.
