Life changing formulas you can't find anywhere else! Josh Sigurdson reports on the breaking news regarding the Pentagon's official agreement with xAI at the Department Of War, utilizing AI for militarism worldwide. This agreement comes months after President Trump signed an AI militarism deal with Saudi Arabia and Qatar alongside Palantir's Alex Karp and Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, Larry Fink of BlackRock, Elon Musk and many other technocrats. As we've warned for decades, social media was always meant to be the surveillance Trojan Horse to bring in social credit. Where people voluntarily give up their private information for a large database which is then used to determine via machine learning what kind of person you are. China did this with Sesame Credit years ago via WeChat. Now, it's being done for the Great Reset agenda which is rapidly being put into place both by the left and the right. XMoney which claims to be anti-establishment works in collaboration with Visa. X is being registered as a bank. Its algorithm is based in social credit. Elon Musk wants to put chips in your brain attaches to a Pentagon funded mesh network. He says AI will destroy humanity, yet he's the main person developing it. He says AI will take over most jobs, but don't worry, you can have UBI (Universal Basic Income) which is exactly what the WEF is pushing. He's creating a hive mind with Starlink. Now he's integrating xAI with the Pentagon. Do you understand what's happening yet? This all happens the same week that the US puts forward plans to demand 5 years of social media history to enter the US alongside 10 years of emails, biometrics and photo metadata? The same month that the US government announces it is putting facial recognition and license reading cameras on all highways and within all cities to track all drivers all the time to "track suspicious activity?" The same month that multiple states mandate a digital ID for internet usage? All the while, the government is attesting to demand age verification checks for VPN usage. This isn't a coincidence. With RealID among digital IDs mandated worldwide to fix problems the state created in the first place as well as Basel 3 bail in policies at 63 central banks, the digital prison is becoming more inescapable. On top of this, Chicago and New York City are pushing government run grocery stores and want to push food rations based on your digital fingerprint. Don't live in fear, reject this and prepare yourselves accordingly so you aren't dependent on banks and grocery stores or you will quickly be left behind. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

There's also plenty of love for the tonal whiplash that makes “Bad Day at Black Rock” a standout: horror one minute, physical comedy the next.The hosts break down how the drinking game rules play out—especially the heroic “luck/lucky” rule and the fan-favorite “I lost my shoe” moment. They highlight the episode's great character intros, like Sterling K. Brown's intense Gordon and Lauren Cohan's sly Bella Talbot, while keeping just enough surprises tucked away for your listen.Sip-Worthy ThoughtsThe boys' early-season innocence—adorable and occasionally disastrousThe episode's pitch-perfect Final Destination energyA drinking game rule that escalates fast (looking at you, “lucky”)Dean's scratcher spree and the chaos it invitesFinal ThoughtsKrissy and Nate wrap things up by celebrating the episode's perfect blend of comedy, danger, and character development.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back John Feneck to the show. John is CEO Feneck Consulting Group. They discuss the current state of precious metals markets, focusing on the remarkable performance of gold and silver in 2023. Gold has risen over 68% year-to-date, while silver has surged 125%, creating significant excitement in the sector. Feneck attributes the rally to weakening US labor market data and potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy. He notes growing interest from financial advisors and investors in precious metals equities, with his own business seeing a 300% increase in inbound inquiries since September 2022. Despite the impressive gains, the precious metals sector remains incredibly small, representing less than 1% of the overall market. The discussion highlights promising investment opportunities in mining and critical mineral sectors. He also emphasizes the importance of quality management, long-term industry experience, and strategic project locations when evaluating potential investments. Beyond traditional gold and silver, Feneck is bullish on critical minerals like tungsten, citing companies such as Guardian Metals as potential future performers. His investment approach prioritizes flexibility, with current positions including a 16-17% allocation to silver and strategic investments in junior mining and exploration companies. Feneck’s investment philosophy centers on thorough research, attending conferences, maintaining consistent communication with company leadership, and employing a disciplined approach to buying and selling based on technical indicators like RSI and fundamental company developments.

He began his career in 1992 as an equity analyst for Merrill Lynch's global allocation fund. From 1993 to 2019 he held senior executive roles at Merrill Lynch Funds (now BlackRock) and J.P. Morgan Chase Funds, where he ranked #1 in gross and net sales once at Merrill Lynch and three times at J.P. Morgan (among 40 peers).Since 2017 he has contributed articles to Kitco—becoming a regular contributor in 2021—and has appeared as a featured guest. He's delivered over 250 client seminars and webinars, spoken at 12 global commodities events, and in 2017 joined Sprott's precious metals portfolio-management team. There he developed a proprietary methodology combining technical analysis with direct insights from company management, advocating a “go anywhere” strategy and a diversified portfolio of 25–50 resource stocks to navigate the sector's volatility. In September 2019 he founded Feneck Consulting Group, helping small- and mid-cap metals and mining companies raise brand awareness and advising high-net-worth advisors on market opportunities and risks. He holds Series 7, Series 63, CMFC and CIMA Level 1 certifications (though he is not a licensed advisor) and focuses on consulting. Based in Scottsdale, AZ, he's a single dad to an 11-year-old daughter and spends weekends as a professional musician, athlete and traveler.

This week, the focus is on diversification—and why it's getting harder to achieve. Portfolio Strategist Natalie Gill explains how the “diversification mirage,” a key theme in BII's 2026 outlook, is now showing up in real time. A small set of megaforces is increasingly dictating equity performance, meaning traditional attempts to diversify—whether toward equal-weighted indices or new regions—can amount to larger active positions than many investors realize.Natalie also breaks down how rising developed-market bond yields challenge the long-held assumption that long-term bonds reliably balance portfolios. Fiscal strains, shifting central bank stances, and policy divergence between the U.S. and other economies further complicate the diversification picture. As bond volatility rises and a small number of equity drivers dominate returns, investors may need to reconsider how and where true diversification can be found.The episode also highlights the growing disconnect between the Federal Reserve's policy posture and the more hawkish tone across Australia, Canada, and Japan—where fiscal dynamics and reopening risks are influencing long-term rates. These divergences, paired with delayed U.S. labor data and inflation considerations, shape the macro backdrop as markets enter the new year.Key Insights· Diversification is increasingly difficult as a handful of megaforces drive global equity performance.· Traditional diversifiers—such as long-term government bonds—provide less balance amid rising yields.· Policy divergence between the U.S. and other major central banks is creating new cross-market risks.· Fiscal concerns are influencing yield curves, particularly in Japan and the UK.· Portfolios may require more deliberate, active decisions and alternative sources of return to achieve true diversification. diversification, megaforces, capital markets, macro trends, bond yields, portfolio balance, market outlookThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Join Alex Tapscott as he decodes the world of crypto with special guest Thomas Uhm, Chief Commercial Officer at the Jito Foundation and Advisor to Jito Labs. Listen in as they discuss what Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Solana Breakpoint reveal about institutional crypto sentiment, why ADGM is emerging as a serious hub for digital asset regulation and capital formation (with major players spanning BlackRock, Circle, Tether and more), how Solana's market structure is evolving through Jito's block-building, priority-fee "tips," and the upcoming BAM framework for application-controlled execution, what MEV is and how networks can reduce harmful forms of it while still securing validators, why Solana's performance under large DDoS pressure reinforces the "internet capital markets" thesis, and what 2026 could bring—from JitoSOL liquid-staking ETFs (and an options-driven structured products wave) to Breakpoint landing in London.

On this episode, Frank Congilose of C&A Financial Group sits down with Mike Trudel of BlackRock to break down what actually drove a strong year for stocks and bonds, how tariffs, inflation, AI, and interest rates are shaping the markets, and why volatility may return even as long-term fundamentals remain solid. From Fed rate cuts and tax rebates to housing, jobs, and where AI could unlock the next wave of profitability, this conversation offers timely insights. Recorded: Dec. 15, 20258668255.1 Exp 12/27To learn more about C&A Financial Group, schedule a meeting or to consider a career with us, visit www.ca-strategy.com for more information.

Thank you to our sponsors, Mantle!On this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Chris Perkins are joined by Elisabeth Kirby, Head of Market Structure at Tradeweb, for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of crypto markets — and who will control them. They unpack why US market structure legislation stalled, how the SEC's enforcement-first approach shaped the last cycle, and what it signals that JPMorgan, BlackRock, and others are moving forward with tokenization.  The group debates whether Ethereum's institutional edge is durable, whether Canton can scale beyond early adopters, and why Solana's “decentralized Nasdaq” vision still faces hard questions. The episode closes with a sober look at macro conditions, risk appetite, and why crypto may be stuck waiting, even as the long-term institutional thesis quietly strengthens.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 043: Exposing the Global Elite's Bitcoin Psyop: BlackRock, Zionists, and AI Transhumanist Control – Privacy Under Attack | Dr. Jack Kruse & Simon DixonWhat if the real threat to Bitcoin isn't BlackRock's financial industrial complex... but a Zionist psyop powered by transhumanist AI control, turning us into compliant slaves while elites centralize everything? In this bombshell interview, neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse and banking reformer Simon Dixon dismantle the global elite's pyramid of power—from Meyer Lansky's control tactics to Roy Cohn's McCarthy psyop, Epstein blackmail networks, and modern threats like Palantir's genocide tech, Neuralink brain interfaces, and Trump's Genius Act. They reveal how bankers like Larry Fink and Michael Saylor are just lower nodes serving tech overlords (Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Larry Ellison), weaponizing ETFs, stablecoins, and treasury companies to crush self-custody. With privacy attacks escalating—exemplified by the Samourai Wallet developers' recent sentencing (Keonne Rodriguez, William Hill)—they warn of false flags, civil war setups to rewrite the Constitution, and multipolar Bitcoin resistance. As Bitcoiners, we must adopt first-principles thinking, boycott centralized systems, run nodes, and coordinate like savages to survive the technocratic nightmare. This isn't about number go up—it's survival of the wisest against AI control grids and global elite agendas.**Support Bill and Keonne, the Samourai Wallet developers**https://billandkeonne.org/Petition: https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-toolsGive-Send-Go: https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneBTC Sessions Bitcoin Donations Collection: https://pay.zaprite.com/pl_m0nBvozQNF(All Bitcoin Received will be converted to fiat and sent to Give-Send-Go)About Dr. Jack Kruse:X: @DrJackKruseWebsite: https://jackkruse.com/About Simon Dixon:X: @SimonDixonTwittYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimonDixon21Previous Episode:Mentor Sessions Ep. 042: Canada's Real Estate Horror Exposed | Steve Saretsky: https://youtu.be/G7J-URuoRiEPrevious Episode with Dr. Kruse: https://youtu.be/A0onGcn17fQ

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Javier Villar for a wide-ranging conversation on Argentina, Spain's political drift, fiat money, the psychology of crowds, Dr. Hawkins' levels of consciousness, the role of elites and intelligence agencies, spiritual warfare, and whether modern technology accelerates human freedom or deepens control. Javier speaks candidly about symbolism, the erosion of sovereignty, the pandemic as a global turning point, and how spiritual frameworks help make sense of political theater.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart and Javier compare Argentina and Spain, touching on cultural similarity, Argentinization, socialism, and the slow collapse of fiat systems.05:00 They explore Brave New World conditioning, narrative control, traditional Catholics, and the psychology of obedience in the pandemic.10:00 Discussion shifts to Milei, political theater, BlackRock, Vanguard, mega-corporations, and the illusion of national sovereignty under a single world system.15:00 Stewart and Javier examine China, communism, spiritual structures, karmic cycles, Kali Yuga, and the idea of governments at war with their own people.20:00 They move into Revelations, Hawkins, calibrations, conspiracy labels, satanic vs luciferic energy, and elites using prophecy as a script.25:00 Conversation deepens into ego vs Satan, entrapment networks, Epstein Island, Crowley, Masonic symbolism, and spiritual corruption.30:00 They question secularism, the state as religion, technology, AI, surveillance, freedom of currency, and the creative potential suppressed by government.35:00 Ending with Bitcoin, stablecoins, network-state ideas, U.S. power, Argentina's contradictions, and whether optimism is still warranted.Key InsightsArgentina and Spain mirror each other's decline. Javier argues that despite surface differences, both countries share cultural instincts that make them vulnerable to the same political traps—particularly the expansion of the welfare state, the erosion of sovereignty, and what he calls the “Argentinization” of Spain. This framing turns the episode into a study of how nations repeat each other's mistakes.Fiat systems create a controlled collapse rather than a dramatic one. Instead of Weimar-style hyperinflation, Javier claims modern monetary structures are engineered to “boil the frog,” preserving the illusion of stability while deepening dependency on the state. This slow-motion decline is portrayed as intentional rather than accidental.Political leaders are actors within a single global architecture of power. Whether discussing Milei, Trump, or European politics, Javier maintains that governments answer to mega-corporations and intelligence networks, not citizens. National politics, in this view, is theater masking a unified global managerial order.Pandemic behavior revealed mass submission to narrative control. Stewart and Javier revisit 2020 as a psychological milestone, arguing that obedience to lockdowns and mandates exposed a widespread inability to question authority. For Javier, this moment clarified who can perceive truth and who collapses under social pressure.Hawkins' map of consciousness shapes their interpretation of good and evil. They use the 200 threshold to distinguish animal from angelic behavior, exploring whether ego itself is the “Satanic” force. Javier suggests Hawkins avoided explicit talk of Satan because most people cannot face metaphysical truth without defensiveness.Elites rely on symbolic power, secrecy, and coercion. References to Epstein Island, Masonic symbolism, and intelligence-agency entrapment support Javier's view that modern control systems operate through sexual blackmail, ritual imagery, and hidden hierarchies rather than democratic mechanisms.Technology's promise is strangled by state power. While Stewart sees potential in AI, crypto, and network-state ideas, Javier insists innovation is meaningless without freedom of currency, association, and exchange. Technology is neutral, he argues, but becomes a tool of surveillance and control when monopolized by governments.

Philips durfde ruim twee jaar geen overnames te doen. Alle tijd en geld ging op aan de slaapapneu-affaire. Maar die tijd is voorbij: het bedrijf lijft de Amerikaanse start-up Spectrawave in. Geen gigantisch bedrijf, met zo'n 70 medewerkers, maar toch: gaat Philips nog meer op overnamejacht? Dat bespreken we deze aflevering. Daarin vertellen we je ook over Nvdia. Sinds de chipmaker groen licht heeft van de VS om de op-een-na-beste AI-chips aan China te leveren, stromen de bestellingen binnen. Klein detail: China wil die chips helemaal niet hebben. Duiken we ook nog op het SpaceX van Elon Musk. Vorige week lekte al uit dat er een beursgang aankomt en vandaag lijkt dat weer een stapje zekerder. En je hoort over het bedrijf achter de robotstofzuiger Roomba: dat is ter ziele gegaan. Te gast is Nico Inberg van De Aandeelhouder, die het hele verhaal rond OCI en Orascom alvast aanwijst als 'scam van het jaar'.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

America is not a free country, it's a Jewish colony! Tonight Stew exposes Speaker Mike Johnson for kissing the ring of tunnel-digging Chabad rabbis.   They murdered Charlie Kirk the second he turned against endless wars and the Zionist agenda that he once shilled. Makia Freeman joins Stew to discuss the clown show. Hurricane Helene was deliberately steered over America's biggest lithium deposit so BlackRock could seize it after drowning our people. Rep. Monty Fritts exposes the treasonous weather warfare and vows to crush the globalist beasts running Tennessee. Your phone just got hijacked by the same Jews who hijacked our government. We've got the receipts, the numbers, and the proof that Mossad and the CIA are one and the same.

America just committed an act of war against Venezuela by commandeering its largest oil tanker like a band of 18th century pirates.

As The Bid takes a short break for the holidays, we're introducing listeners to Market Take, the weekly macro podcast from the BlackRock Investment Institute. Market Take offers fast, digestible insights on what's moving markets - and this week, the focus is squarely on the labor market.Senior Economist Nicholas Fawcett breaks down why softer U.S. labor data is reinforcing expectations for another potential Federal Reserve rate cut. With hiring and labor supply both cooling, policymakers are watching these trends closely as they navigate the balance between inflation control and economic resilience. Nicholas also explores how delayed jobs data complicates the Fed's visibility into the economy, what markets are pricing in ahead of the December meeting, and how fiscal dynamics in the UK are shaping long-term bond views.Whether you're tracking monetary policy, macro signals, or broader capital markets trends, this short episode offers a concise view of the forces shaping the economic backdrop.Key Insights· The U.S. labor market is softening, raising the likelihood of another Fed rate cut.· Payrolls show a “no hiring, no firing” pattern as labor demand and supply slow.· Delayed jobs data may create noise, but markets still expect a quarter-point cut.· Fiscal tightening in the UK influences gilt valuations and long-term yield dynamics.· Labor market trends, inflation, and rates continue to guide broader market sentimentlabor market, inflation, interest rates, Federal Reserve, capital markets, macro trends, market commentary, economic outlookThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Niels and Alan sit down with BlackRock's Jeff Rosenberg to examine how the post Covid shift from too little to too much inflation is reshaping portfolios. Jeff explains why bond and equity correlations have changed, why fixed income is drifting back toward income rather than pure diversification, and how fiscal pressure and soft financial repression may influence rates. They explore what systematic really means at BlackRock, from trend ETFs and defensive alpha to market breadth and execution. The conversation ends with the rise of liquid alternatives, whole portfolio thinking and growing equity concentration risk.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Jeff on LinkedIn.Find out more about DUNN CapitalEpisode Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction, Jeff's role at BlackRock Systematic and setting the agenda04:09 - From too little to too much inflation and the end of divine coincidence09:32 - Wage dynamics, “prices are too high” and persistent, not resurgent, inflation14:48 - Bond equity correlation, the changing role of fixed income and income versus diversification19:55 - Fiscal dominance, debt loads and the risk of soft financial repression25:21 - What “systematic” means at BlackRock across beta, factors and pure alpha30:44 - Trend as a systematic return stream and why...

In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons explores one of the most significant economic shifts happening in our state: the creation of the Texas Stock Exchange - and what this means for business owners, investors, and the long-term financial landscape of Texas. Darryl begins by sharing a personal story from a recent trip to New York with his daughter, reflecting on how Wall Street has changed over time and how electronic trading has transformed the markets. That reflection sets the stage for today's discussion: the movement of major financial infrastructure away from New York and into Texas. He breaks the episode into several key themes: •        Why "Y'all Street" is becoming a reality, including how the Texas Stock Exchange - backed by BlackRock and Citadel - represents a major shift in where capital markets operate. •        How ESG policies contributed to this moment, and why regulatory burdens pushed many companies to seek a more business-friendly environment. •        How Texas prepared for this growth, from specialized business courts to economic development incentives that attracted Fortune 100 companies like Oracle and Tesla. •        The culture factor, including why some Texas cities - especially San Antonio - may limit their own growth unintentionally due to strong family-centric values. •        How access to capital unlocks expansion, using PAX as an example of how a company with a strong mission might scale when the right financial pathways exist. •        What the Texas exchange could mean for your investments, including why more homegrown Texas companies going public could eventually strengthen 401(k)s and IRAs across the state. Darryl connects the dots between local business culture, economic development, and national capital markets to show how transformative this shift could be - not just for corporations, but for everyday Texans who invest for retirement.

Thank you to our sponsors! Uniswap Mantle Hosts Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Chris Perkins dig into why interest rates may not fall as quickly as markets hope, why oil demand could surprise to the upside, and how retail keeps buying every dip—even while consumer confidence hits new lows. The trio also breaks down the growing collision between TradFi and crypto: whether banks can compete with blockchain-native distribution, how BlackRock's staked ETH ETF filing could reshape the market, and how yields on Ethereum and Solana represent a brand-new financial primitive. Plus, they examine Ripple's controversial raise, Citadel's push to regulate DeFi, and why major incumbents are now in a frantic race to choose their crypto “dance partners.” Hosts: Ram Ahluwalia, CFA, CEO and Founder of Lumida Austin Campbell, NYU Stern professor and founder and managing partner of Zero Knowledge Consulting Christopher Perkins, Managing Partner and President of CoinFund Links: Unchained:  BlackRock Files S-1 for Staked ETH ETF Berachain Kept Secret a $25 Million Refund Right to a Brevan Howard Fund CoinDesk:  Citadel Challenges DeFi Framework in Letter to SEC, Sparking Industry Outrage Bloomberg:  Wall Street Hedged Big Crypto Bet in $500 Million Ripple Deal (XRP) Bitcoin Options Show Traders Hunkering Down for Crypto Winter Timestamps:

An incident at a Cinnabon dominated social media over the weekend, and a woman was fired for calling someone a naughty word. Santa won't be happy. The Trump administration suggested a new rule to limit asset management funds, like Black Rock and Vanguard. Then he said "affordability" is a con-job. So, let's do a good Trump, bad Trump. Pope Leo is out there saying that anti-Islamic rhetoric in Europe is xenophobic. The Crusades called. They want their religion back.

This Friday 5 runs through a week defined by Larry Fink's renewed tokenization push, MicroStrategy's move to eliminate default risk, major wealth platforms finally opening their doors to Bitcoin, and a macro backdrop where liquidity interventions are starting to matter again. It all culminates in a price week that didn't resolve the bear case but made the conversation far more interesting, with volatility returning even if direction hasn't. Headlines include: BlackRock's policy-facing tokenization thesis, MicroStrategy's $1.4B buffer, Vanguard and Bank of America shifting access, and the Fed's early signals on easing.

Joe Oltmann Untamed tackles the explosive arrest of Brian Cole, the Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, just before the January 6 riots. With fresh updates from Fox News and eyewitness video of the Woodbridge standoff, we'll dive into the FBI's five-year investigation, the $500,000 reward, and Cole's alleged anarchist ties, as reported by the Daily Mail. Plus, we'll slam Colorado Governor Jared Polis, dubbed a “SLEAZEBAG” by President Trump on Truth Social, for his role in the ongoing Tina Peters saga.Financial expert Vince Lanci joins us to unpack the silver market's wild 83.52% yearly surge, and the looming AI bubble threatening U.S. equities. With 30 years in commodities and his acclaimed GoldFix newsletter, Vince will share battle-tested strategies from Echobay Partners to navigate U.S. policy impacts and China's silver supply crunch. Don't miss his take on whether the AI boom mirrors the dot-com bust, backed by BlackRock data and Yahoo Finance's “air pocket” warning. We welcome Peter Ticktin for a Tina Peters update, exploring her legal battle with new documents like the BOP's transfer request and an emergency motion for bond release due to her mother's life-threatening injuries. From his bold call for the 101st Airborne to free Peters to challenging Colorado's justice system, Ticktin's decades of legal prowess shine. With the court backlog and Polis' stance in focus, we'll grill him on strategy and evidence. Stay untamed—truth awaits!

Bitcoin hit a rare signal this week, dropping to its cheapest level relative to gold in nearly 15 years. Is that a buy signal or something deeper in the macro picture? Ryan and David break down what the BTC–gold anomaly really means, how liquidity, rates, and Trump's surprise Fed Chair pick factor in, and whether the market is entering a shallow cycle instead of a true winter. We also cover Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade, Vitalik's push to bring builders back to L1, Polymarket's mainstream breakout and CNN–Kalshi deal, and Aztec's 16K ETH privacy auction. Plus, the SEC's coming innovation exemption and the growing alliance between Larry Fink and Brian Armstrong. ------

Drinkin' Bros podcast host Dan Hollaway joins Bridget for an uncensored conversation about all the third rail topics you could ever ask for, from why we should probably just invade Mexico, to how 20 million illegals and BlackRock turned 29-year-old home-buyers into 40-year-old renters, the reality behind the horseshoe theory that brings together “Queers for Palestine” and actual Islamists, and Zohran Mamdani's "brown guilt." They explore how pure libertarianism was tried and failed during the founding of the United States, the truth about Trump's plan to bring manufacturing back to the US, why the Constitution is the best document ever written, his belief that people aren't stupid - they're ignorant, why a nation of strong men is a strong nation, and why he only offends people because they're delicate. Check out Dan's Substack - Offensive - https://bit.ly/WiW-Offensive --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Links: - Transform your fitness with science based training.
