Back from a short hiatus, Jared and Cameron discuss a range of political, economic, and creative topics, including Joe Biden's recent cancer diagnosis and the scrutiny he is facing, Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” and Moody's US credit downgrade, gold versus Bitcoin for the remainder of 2025, whether companies such as Walmart will eat Trump's tariffs, Jared's recent writing retreat, and his upcoming DJ gig in Las Vegas. If nothing else, you should get some good book recommendations here—i.e., check out Barry Hannah, Raymond Carver, et al.

Money amplifies who you are—so the real question isn't just what you'll leave your children, but who they'll become when they inherit it. In this deep conversation, Brian and Hans step away from pure financial strategy to explore something more fundamental: the difference between leaving your family money versus leaving them values, stories, and unbreakable family bonds.Their discussion reveals a sobering truth: by the third generation, most family wealth is squandered and forgotten in American culture. But the real tragedy isn't lost money—it's lost connection. When children don't know who they are or what it means to be part of their family, society eagerly fills that void with its values.The Rockefeller vs. Vanderbilt Legacy: While both families built enormous fortunes, only one survived generationally. The Rockefellers didn't just create financial structures—they built a family culture of interdependence and shared values that keeps wealth in the family across generations.Roots and Wings Philosophy: Most families build either strong roots (creating dependence) or strong wings (encouraging complete independence). The goal is both—children who can stand on their own but choose to remain connected to their family unit because they understand their heritage and identity.The Power of Family Stories: Children connect to heritage through stories, not just money. Whether it's journaling pivotal moments, creating family traditions, or establishing sayings that capture your values, these become the foundation of family identity that transcends any inheritance.Fighting Cultural Vampires: If you don't give your children a strong identity rooted in family values, external forces will gladly provide one. From educational institutions to social movements, there are plenty of "vampires" ready to shape your children's worldview if you're not intentional about it first.Creating Family Mantras: Simple phrases that capture family values become powerful tools for building identity. Whether it's "Moody's always do the right thing" or "rethink your thinking," these mantras help children understand what it means to be part of your family lineage.➡️ Chapters:00:00 - Opening thoughts on generational wealth02:00 - The five F's: Faith, family, fitness, finance, friendship03:00 - Why most fortunes disappear by the third generation06:00 - What you leave IN your kids vs. TO your kids07:00 - Rockefellers vs. Vanderbilts: A tale of two legacies08:00 - How society fills the values vacuum10:00 - Building interdependent families vs. independent individuals11:00 - The roots and wings philosophy13:00 - Creating a family compound mindset15:00 - The power of family stories and traditions19:00 - Building close grandparent relationships21:00 - Preserving family history through recordings23:00 - Changing paradigms: Rethinking college and career paths26:00 - Journaling family stories for future generations28:00 - Creating family mantras and values30:00 - Protecting children from cultural vampires33:00 - Traditional family roles in modern society35:00 - Giving children a strong family identity37:00 - How money amplifies existing character39:00 - Setting your family's direction early⁠Visit https://remnantfinance.com for more informationFOLLOW REMNANT FINANCEYoutube: @RemnantFinance (https://www.youtube.com/@RemnantFinance)Facebook: @remnantfinance (https://www.facebook.com/profile?id=61560694316588)Twitter: @remnantfinance (https://x.com/remnantfinance)TikTok: @RemnantFinance Don't forget to hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBE

Episode 98: Are We Hitting a Wall? Rising Debt, Bond Market Chaos & the Fed's Next Move In this week's episode of Drunk Real Estate, we dive into the growing storm in the debt markets and what it means for real estate investors, the U.S. economy, and interest rates going forward. With U.S. debt exploding past $36 trillion, bond auctions failing, and interest payments projected to hit $1 trillion annually, the crew breaks down what's really happening behind the headlines—and why the Fed may be nearing a breaking point. We cover: - Moody's downgrade and its message to investors - Why 20- and 30-year bonds are being rejected by the market - The Fed's balance sheet roll-off and its unintended consequences - Could a debt spiral force the Fed to reverse course on QT? - Why Japan, Germany & global forces are quietly reshaping bond demand - What the SOFR curve is telling us about long-term rates - How all of this ties back to commercial real estate, cap rates, and refinance risk This episode connects the macro puzzle pieces—from treasury stress to real estate fallout—in the way only Drunk Real Estate can.

The national debt recently hit the headlines after Moody's downgraded the U.S. credit rating. But does the national debt really matter? A lot of people think not and most don't seem overly concerned about it. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey argues that they should be worried, and he explains why. He specifically addresses how exploding government debt could impact the markets and urges gold and silver investors not to focus exclusively on the daily tariff news. 

In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, breaks down the recent U.S. credit downgrade by Moody's - and what it really means for the economy, the markets, and your personal finances. While headlines may spark panic, Darryl walks listeners through the facts with clarity and perspective. From the ripple effect on mortgage rates to the role of active bond managers, Darryl explains why this downgrade, though historic, isn't cause for alarm - and why the U.S. remains, in his words, “the cleanest shirt in a dirty load of laundry.” Key highlights of the episode include: What the Moody's downgrade means - and why it happened now. How it impacts stock and bond markets differently (and why the stock market already saw it coming). The connection between U.S. Treasury yields and rising mortgage rates. Why active bond management matters more in volatile conditions. The long-term perspective: why the U.S. is still the safest place for capital despite the headlines. Whether you're an investor, homeowner, or business owner, this episode offers a calm, candid take on a complex topic - helping you understand what really matters behind the noise.

In this episode, Mike speaks with Dr Pamela MacRae, Professor of Ministry to Women and Ministry to Victims of Sexual Exploitation at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. With decades of experience in local church ministry and nearly twenty years teaching at Moody, Dr MacRae offers thoughtful insight on how preachers can communicate the Bible with clarity and care - particularly when speaking to congregations that are often more than half women.Pam reflects on the first time she taught the Bible, how she has grown as a communicator, and what bad habits she has worked to leave behind. She and Mike also discuss her chapter How Women Hear the Sermon from The Moody Handbook of Preaching, exploring the dynamics of how women engage with preaching and what opportunities and challenges that presents.The conversation also touches on a class she teaches called Pastoral Care of Women, which equips male pastoral students to preach and minister more thoughtfully to the women in their churches. She offers advice to male pastors and preachers - particularly those from complementarian settings - on how to serve the women in their churches with greater attentiveness and understanding.This episode is a valuable conversation for anyone serious about teaching the Bible faithfully to the whole church.Recommended resources: Shepherding Women in Pain: Real Women, Real Issues, and What You Need to Know to Truly HelpBeverly Hislophttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7944332-shepherding-women-in-pain  Worthy: Celebrating the Value of WomenBy Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher :https://elysefitzpatrick.com/book/worthy-celebrating-the-value-of-women/ Cheer Her On interview with Dr MacRae:https://open.spotify.com/episode/7HeHAKwRTwTYESbPres1bq?si=fc0f8cffa8764a78 Register for our next in person training event August 22-23, 2025 St Petersburg, Florida Calvary Chapel St. Petersburghttps://expositorscollective.org/gatherings/The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

Let's look at today's hot topics! Get the latest news and updates directly from RTD News: http://rtd.newsIn today's livestream, we break down Moody's shocking downgrade of the US credit rating — and what it signals about America's financial future.We'll cover:

Donald Trump is the first U.S. President in over 30 years who is seriously talking about reducing the country's budget deficit, trade deficit and yes, the national debt, which has ballooned to over $37 trillion.    However, he must follow a specific formula, otherwise, it will end in tragedy, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”     “Jermone Powell, the head of the Fed, will not lower interest rates even though there's been a good jobs report, a good inflation report, a good corporate profits report. GDP is gonna be evaluated, apparently, upward and there's been low energy cost. That mortgage is still 4.25% Fed rate to 4.5%. And that means mortgages are still 6.5%, 7%. And that housing market is slowing as a result.   “So, you've got to get that down. And the way Trump has to do it is just two ways: Either cut the budget or raise taxes—which will strangle the economy—or continue the tax cuts. And hope two things: that the tax cuts—the extension—will prime the economy, along with cheap interest rates.   And the question that we all have now: Is cutting taxes on tips, is cutting taxes on Social Security, is cutting taxes on first responder, etc.—all of which Trump has mentioned—is that really stimulus as opposed to, say, accelerated depreciation investment for businesses? I don't know the answer. But I do know, as a historian, that if you do not cut the deficit and the national debt and you have bond raters like Moody's or the Fed that will not lower interest rates, you're going to be in a crisis.” 

The episode discusses Moody's recent downgrade of the US credit rating from AAA to AA1, outlining the potential impacts on rent, savings, and jobs. Matt explores the reasons behind the downgrade, previous downgrades by Standard & Poor's and Fitch, and the broader economic implications. It criticizes the US government's handling of its debt and highlights contrasting views from President Trump and major financial entities. The episode also provides a 'five-step exploit and escape strategy' to protect oneself, focusing on hedging with gold and Bitcoin, leveraging debt, securing cheap loans, investing in income-producing real estate, and using inflation to one's advantage.

The financial world stands at a critical juncture as Treasury yields approach 18-year highs and markets wrestle with conflicting economic signals. In this riveting conversation between macro strategists Jim Bianco and Jay Hatfield, hosted by Michael Gayed, we explore the counterintuitive relationship between Fed policy and market reactions that has left many investors scratching their heads.When the Fed cut rates last September, yields went up. This paradox forms the backdrop for a fascinating debate about whether higher rates might actually be the cure for higher rates. Hatfield advances his "Hopfield Rule"—the observation that housing starts falling below 1.1 million units have preceded 11 of 12 post-WWII recessions—suggesting we may be closer to economic trouble than many realize. Meanwhile, a 20% drop in oil prices this year has created what Hatfield calls "stag-deflation" rather than the stagflation many fear.The conversation takes a surprising turn when examining market influences. Bianco reveals that retail investors purchased $4.1 billion worth of stocks in just four hours following the Moody's downgrade, effectively stabilizing the market. This "do-it-yourself" investor revolution has fundamentally changed market dynamics, with retail traders wielding unprecedented influence despite focusing on just a handful of popular stocks and ETFs.Both experts offer nuanced perspectives on tariffs, inflation expectations, and the global bond sell-off. While the immediate outlook suggests continued volatility, they highlight that today's fixed income market structure offers significantly more favorable characteristics than during the initial rate hiking cycle of 2022-2023.Whether you're concerned about spiking Treasury yields, curious about the impact of retail traders, or trying to position your portfolio for what comes next, this discussion provides crucial insights from two of the sharpest minds in macro investing.

Did you know that the median retail investor spends only six minutes researching a stock before buying it? Most of that time is spent staring at a price chart—often just the current day's movement. Nick compares the limited “research” many individual investors conduct to the extensive analysis performed by Henssler's research analysts.K.C. then takes a closer look at the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that passed the House of Representatives just hours before we recorded. We discuss the revised State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap, the increased Child Tax Credit, and the proposed tax break on tip income. While the bill's fate in the Senate remains uncertain, it appears that many of Trump's 2017 tax cuts may be extended.Last Friday, after the market closed, Moody's became the third major credit rating agency to downgrade the U.S. government's debt rating. The cut comes at a time when global confidence in U.S. debt is wavering, and Congress is debating a tax bill that could further increase the national debt. We examine what this downgrade means and whether it reflects actual investment risk.After the break, D.J. breaks down Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and explains why they're one of the most powerful tools for saving money—thanks to their unique triple tax benefit. While many people use HSAs to pay for health-care expenses as they arise, there are compelling advantages to covering those costs from other funds and allowing the HSA to accumulate, benefiting from tax-deferred growth over time.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J.

Ahmed Riesgo argues that the Saudis are “purposefully flooding the market” with oil to aid the Trump administration by driving down the price of oil and pressure Iran and Russia. He thinks Moody's downgrades of U.S. credit is “15 years late to the party.” The U.S. “doesn't deserve a triple-A rating,” he adds, with no sign of the country curbing its spending anytime soon. He expects the Mag 7 to “evolve into” utilities and defensive plays, rather than growth names.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Global trade tensions have eased after a steadying in U.S. policy shifts, leading our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson to make a more bullish case for the second half of 2025.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast, I will discuss recent developments on tariffs and interest rates, and how it affects our 12 month view for U.S. Equities.It's Friday, May 23rd at 9am in New York.So, let's get after it.The reduction in the headline tariff rate on China from 145 percent to 30 percent extended the rally in stocks last week and should help to support both corporate and consumer confidence. More importantly, the 90-day détente came at a critical juncture, in my view, as a few more weeks of what was essentially a trade embargo would have likely led to a recession.Equity market volatility also subsided considerably amid the decline in trade policy uncertainty. In fact, both measures peaked well before the deal with China came together and are now back below where they were pre-Liberation Day. To me, this means trade headwinds have likely peaked in rate of change terms and are unlikely to return to such levels again. This would fit with the capitulatory price action we saw in early April with the average stock in the S&P 500 experiencing a 30 percent drawdown. In short, while the lagging hard data is likely to come in softer over the next coming months, the equity market already priced it in April. In the event of a recession that still arrives, we think the April lows will still hold, assuming it's a mild one with manageable risk to credit and funding markets.As further support for stocks, earnings revisions breadth appears to have bottomed. This indicator has leading properties in terms of the direction of earnings forecasts and is an important gauge of corporate confidence, in our view. The combination of upside momentum in revision breadth and last week's deal with China has placed the S&P 500 firmly back in our original pre-Liberation Day first half range of 5500-6100. Having said that, we think continued upward progress in earnings revisions breadth into positive territory will be necessary to break through 6100 in the near term, given the stickiness of 10-year Treasury yields.Amidst these developments, we released our mid -year outlook earlier this week and updated our base, bear and bull case targets for the S&P 500. In short, we effectively pushed out the timing of our original 6500 price target for the end of this year to 12 months from today. This is mainly due to a less dovish Fed and therefore higher 10-year Treasury yields than our economists and rates strategists expected at the end of last year. We also trimmed our EPS forecasts modestly to adjust for higher than expected tariff rates, at least for now.Looking ahead, we are more bullish today than we were at the end of last year given the growth negative policy announcements are now behind us and the Fed's next move is likely to be multiple cuts. In short, the rate of change on earnings revisions breadth, interest rates and policy changes from the administration are all now pointing in a positive direction, the opposite of six months ago and why I was not bullish on the first half of this year.The near-term risk for U.S. equities remains very overbought conditions and interest rates. With the Fed on hold due to lingering inflation concerns and Moody's downgrade of U.S. Treasury debt last Friday, 10-year Treasury yields are back above 4.5 percent; the level where the correlation between equities and rates tends to move back into negative territory. Ultimately, we think the Treasury and Fed have tools they can and will use to manage this risk. However, in the short term, this is a potential catalyst for the S&P 500 to take a break and even lead to a 5 percent correction. We would look to add equity risk into such a correction should it materialize given our bullish 6-12-month view.Thanks for tuning in. I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review; and if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!

The U.S. national debt has surpassed $36 trillion, prompting Moody's to downgrade America's credit rating and setting off a sharp selloff in stocks and bonds.

In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke covers the latest financial developments shaking markets and influencing investor strategy. Kathy breaks down how the fiscal outlook, rising interest costs, and a controversial new spending bill, The Big Beautiful Bill, could reshape real estate investing. Will economic growth projections offset deficit concerns? How will rising borrowing costs affect buying and selling opportunities in today's market? Tune in to hear how these macroeconomic shifts could impact your portfolio, and what savvy real estate investors should be doing right now to stay ahead.

Moody's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating to Aa1 is expected to push up borrowing costs for consumers-impacting mortgage, auto loan, and credit card rates-while highlighting growing fiscal challenges for the nation. Today's Stocks & Topics: FRSH - Freshworks Inc.

On today's show we are talking about the risk premium being attached to US sovereign debt and how this has the potential to destabilize real estate markets for all US investors. We are accustomed to thinking that the Fed sets the interest rate. But the truth is that the Fed only sets one interest rate. That is the Fed Funds rate that banks use to lend to each other. The downgrade of the US debt by Moody's debt rating agency last Friday was a reflection of the government's persistent failure to adopt measures that would “reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs.” Moody's was the third bond rating agency to downgrade the US sovereign debt after S&P and Fitch downgraded the US debt in August of 2023. It's not the downgrade per se that is the problem. The market makes its own determination and does not just look at what the bond rating agencies have to say.Spending is heading higher, regardless of who is in the White House. The demographic impact on entitlement programs is unavoidable. The population is aging and when the social security program was launched, there were 16.5 people in the workforce for every one person collecting benefits. Today there are 2.71 people in the workforce for every one person collecting benefits. By the mid 2030's, that number is expected to fall to 2.3 people working for every one person collecting. The math doesn't fund the liabilities. The current White House was elected on the promise of the economy and of fiscal responsibility. The latest budget bill that had wound its way through the Congress shows an increase in spending and a widening budget deficit. Despite desires to cut government waste and abuse, the impact seems somewhat muted. The bond market is clearly seeing significant risk to the ballooning US sovereign debt. This week's auction in new US Treasuries did not go well. The appetite for new paper from the US government was muted and the price that was bid for the 30 year was so low that the yield on the 30 year is now above 5%. The 30 year Treasury is a long denomination bond and its yield moves very slowly. To have the price for that bond drop so sharply in a matter of days has definitely rattled markets. ------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

(May 22, 2025)Host of ‘How to Money' Joel Larsgaard joins the show to talk about people spending way too much money on news & newsletters, whether higher education s really valuable, and what Moody's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating means for your money. Police secretly monitored New Orleans with facial recognition cameras. Host of ‘Later with Mo Kelly' joins the program to talk about the latest in movies and entertainment.

This week, we're keeping one eye on Wall Street and the other on a canal in Dublin. Moody's just downgraded the United States' credit rating, a move that quietly confirms what most won't say out loud: America's debt-fuelled growth is unsustainable, and interest payments are now outpacing military spending. Meanwhile, back home, a row of cottages literally collapsed, not abandoned, but owned by the very people lobbying to fix Ireland's housing crisis. In a country where average rents just passed €2,000. In this episode, we tie it all together: the real consequences of debt, the performative hypocrisy at the top, and how property in Ireland has become a parasitic asset, not a social good. From Donald Trump's inflationary tariff plans to the Irish State's inability to enforce basic upkeep, we're watching the scaffolding of credibility, financial and moral, fall away.

Today's Headlines: Congress is currently hashing out a sweeping reconciliation bill—dubbed by President Trump as “one big beautiful bill”—that outlines his administration's tax and spending priorities, though its final form remains uncertain. Key provisions include extending the 2017 tax cuts, which would add an estimated $2.7 trillion to the national deficit by 2034, ramping up ICE funding, and introducing Medicaid work requirements. Trump visited Capitol Hill to rally support amid internal GOP resistance, as Speaker Mike Johnson aims to pass the bill before Memorial Day recess. As part of this package, Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a $25 billion down payment for a proposed $175 billion missile defense system called the “Golden Dome,” modeled on Israel's Iron Dome and intended to guard against nuclear and hypersonic threats. Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sparked backlash after incorrectly defining habeas corpus during Senate testimony, raising alarms as the White House reportedly considers suspending the constitutional protection. On the economic front, mortgage rates have surged past 7%—a 25-year high—following a U.S. credit downgrade by Moody's. And in tech-meets-politics news, Elon Musk told the Qatar Economic Forum he plans to scale back political donations, though quickly added he might resume them if he sees a reason—fueling speculation his political capital may be waning.

00;02;09;25 - 00;04;50;23 Trump's Ego and Celebrity Endorsements: Trump demands a probe into Kamala Harris's campaign for allegedly paying celebrities (e.g., Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Oprah) for endorsements disguised as entertainment services. Claims this is about his ego rather than political integrity, as he's upset they opposed him. Accuses Harris of violating campaign laws but ignores similar issues in his own campaign. Trump's Tariff Policy Critique (00;24;19;26 - 00;29;39;05)Exposes economic consequences of Trump's tariffs, debunking his claim that China pays them. Highlights real-world impacts like price hikes, layoffs, and U.S. economic strain due to a weak manufacturing base. This challenges populist rhetoric and reveals policy flaws affecting everyday Americans.Infant Death After Vaccines (00;36;57;12 - 00;43;09;00)A tragic case of a six-month-old dying post-vaccination raises serious questions about routine vaccine safety and SIDS correlations. It's emotionally compelling and underscores the need for transparency in medical practices, resonating with parental concerns.Covid Vaccine Deaths Ignored (00;45;17;07 - 00;50;54;24)Reveals systemic failure in Australia's investigation of 35 same-day Covid vaccine deaths, highlighting government cover-ups and regulatory bias. The temporal correlation data is striking and fuels distrust in public health institutions.Covid Vaccines and Miscarriages (00;59;51;19 - 01;03;46;22)A near-10% increase in miscarriage rates among vaccinated pregnant women is alarming, especially with researchers downplaying it. This underscores ethical concerns about vaccine mandates for pregnant women and the manipulation of scientific narratives.Kristi Noem's Habeas Corpus Misunderstanding (01;11;24;13 - 01;15;50;20)Noem falsely claims habeas corpus grants Trump deportation powers, misunderstanding its role as a check on unlawful detention. Her error and Stephen Miller's suggestion to suspend it raise alarms about due process violations.Constitutional Concerns and Trump's Agenda (01;20;44;01 - 01;23;26;25)Suspending habeas corpus for migrants is constitutionally dubious, as the power resides with Congress, not the president. The “invasion” justification is weak, threatening civil liberties for all, including citizens critical of government policies.Stablecoin Bill and CBDC Concerns (01;40;02;12 - 01;42;23;23)The Senate's Genius Stablecoin Bill advances, raising fears of a trackable central bank digital currency (CBDC). Despite Democratic concerns over Trump's crypto ventures, the bill signals a push for government-controlled financial oversight.Moody's U.S. Credit Downgrade (01;42;51;13 - 01;44;43;24)Moody's U.S. credit downgrade triggers market reactions (falling futures, rising yields, gold up), reflecting unsustainable spending and signaling the decline of U.S. financial hegemony, a pivotal economic shift.Constitutional Crisis and Judicial Overreach (01;59;51;06 - 02;04;38;20)Trump's administration challenges judicial authority, claiming judges overstep by dictating executive actions like spending or policy. Vance argues judges lack authority over legitimate executive powers, while critics warn of a constitutional crisis and unprecedented presidential power.CIA's Role in Governance (02;25;36;10 - 02;36;37;04)Mike Johnson's anecdote about Biden's unawareness reveals CIA influence in the White House. A CIA official's claim that government prioritizes its own continuity over citizens' rights exposes a “national security” mindset treating Americans as economic tools.Stargate AI and mRNA Vaccines (02;48;56;23 - 02;57;01;06)Trump's $500B Stargate AI project with tech giants promises jobs but raises concerns about AI-driven mRNA cancer vaccines. Critics highlight genetic manipulation risks and elite control, amplified by Trump's vaccine advocacy and unproven mRNA safety.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

No, the Trump administration is not focused on the forgotten man or bringing industrial jobs back. Instead, the real estate developer is handing out threats left and right—fresh off his Middle East trip, where he scored numerous deals with Islamofascists for himself, his family, and his cronies. And no matter what he says, the 'Palace in the Sky' is for him, once taxpayers pony up all the funds for retrofitting. Meanwhile, House Republicans are attempting to ram through their reconciliation bill—which is a huge debt bomb and is a big reason why Moody's downgraded the credit rating of the United States. Plus, Biden's cancer diagnosis, Epstein's 'absolutely crystal-clear' suicide, Trump proves Springsteen's point, and the administration gladly takes some of Mexico's worst.
