Now that saga has been turned into the movie Dumb Money featuring an ensemble cast that includes Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vinent D'Onofrio, Nick Offerman, Shailene Woodly, and Seth Rogen. Joining Julia to discuss are the film's cowriters, Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum.

Featured interview: Noveon Magnetics CEO

What do the following have in common: a wind turbine, an MRI machine, a stereo speaker, and a washing machine? They all rely on magnets to work. But there's a problem. The rare earths that make up magnets will come under increasing demand as the world's population grows, and the United States is heavily dependent on China for production. Plus, traditional mining methods aren't good for the environment. And that's where Noveon Magnetics comes in. The Texas-based company says it's found a way to recycle used magnets by stripping them out of discarded products, melting them down and re-manufacturing them.

Featured interview: Florida Citrus CEO Matt Joyner

Serious challenges to global food supplies remain, driven in part by the war in Ukraine and the impact of climate change and extreme weather. In the United States in particular, you can add to that a devastating disease that's done serious damage to orange crops.

Featured interview: John Kerry

Last month we learned from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that investment in clean energy is now significantly outpacing investment in fossil fuels. But as the IEA's top man told us, the scales need to tip much farther toward renewables, and around 90% of spending is currently being done by richer nations and China. What's needed is some kind of global financing pact perhaps to ramp up investment in poorer parts of the world which need support to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis, while ensuring they also have access to cleaner energy in the future. Right now, more than 100 heads of state and government leaders, policy makers, and institutions -- including the UN, the IMF and the World Bank -- are meeting in Paris to talk about just that. Immersed in these critical discussions is former Secretary of State John Kerry, the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. He joins Julia to discuss.

The US Congress has very little time left to avoid a default.

In very simple terms, that is how a stablecoin works. Circle is a financial service company that issues one of the world's largest, known as a USDC.
