Description: President Donald J. Trump has unveiled a bold new vision for the U.S. Navy: the "Trump-class" battleship. Announced from Mar-a-Lago, this new class of warships—starting with the USS Defiant (BBG-1)—marks the return of the battleship to the high seas for the first time since the 1990s. We break down the President's "Golden Fleet" initiative, his personal role in the "aesthetic" design of the vessels, and the strategic goal of revitalizing American shipbuilding. This episode explores the controversial decision to name the class after himself and the message it sends to global adversaries. Is this a return to the "Great White Fleet" era or a costly gamble on unproven technology?

China has called on Japan to promptly explain a radioactive water leak at the Fugen nuclear reactor, accept international oversight, and improve safety management to protect the marine environment.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Alarming new intelligence from the Pentagon suggests China is rapidly filling newly constructed missile silos with intercontinental ballistic missiles, signaling a nuclear buildup moving faster than analysts expected and raising fresh concerns about Beijing's long-term intentions. Ukraine takes the fight deep inside Russia, striking energy infrastructure, aircraft, and naval targets in a coordinated wave of attacks aimed at disrupting Moscow's war effort far from the front lines. Diplomacy delivers smiles but no substance, as White House officials describe talks with Russia in Miami as “productive,” even while the Kremlin openly admits no progress has been made toward ending the war. And in today's Back of the Brief: border fighting between Cambodia and Thailand drags into a third week, with new talks planned to revive a ceasefire once brokered by President Trump.

P.J. Glasser and Jake Hasan recap and react to last night's Monday Night Football which saw the 49ers offense cover the Over by themselves with 48 points scored and ask if we should actually take them seriously as contenders in the NFC. Plus, what's next for the Colts, as their playoff hopes continue to sink.

An ironic fixation on America's upcoming 250th celebration of independence from an oppressive monarchy that overtaxed its people has led to the announcement of various projects like, "The Patriot Games", and yes, it's similar to The Hunger Games but without the style or literacy. Also, discussing the scandalously accurate Vanity Fair article and photos, new burn book-esque plaques lining a cheaply gilded White House walkway, military funds getting rebranded "Warrior Dividends", and how tariffs continue to get more undeserved hype than a nepo baby. Plus, updates on ICE's continued illegal actions, a haunting nuclear mystery, retaliation from the CDC, the progression of censorship and state-run media, and a dedication to destroying the planet in ignorant bliss.

A morte inesperada e prematura de Nuno Loureiro foi um choque profundo. Em mais de oito anos de 45 Graus, nunca tinha perdido um convidado tão jovem e brilhante, com tanto ainda para dar ao mundo. Apesar da sua partida, o seu legado permanece. Espero que este episódio contribua para divulgar a área da fusão nuclear e inspire novos investigadores a seguir o caminho científico que o Nuno deixou aberto.Recorde aqui o episódio 119, originalmente publicado em abril de 2022. _______________ Nuno Loureiro é licenciado em Engenharia Física Tecnológica pelo Instituto Superior Técnico, e doutorado em física pelo Imperial College de Londres. A sua especialidade é a física dos plasmas e as suas aplicações à fusão nuclear e a problemas do domínio da astrofísica. Actualmente é professor catedrático do departamento de Ciência e Engenharia Nuclear e do departamento de Física do Massachusetts Institute of Technology, EUA. _______________ Índice da conversa: (0:00) Introdução (07:36) Como funciona a energia nuclear de fusão? Reagentes: deutério e trítio (isótopos de hidrogéneo) (14:57) Porque é tão difícil gerar fusão nuclear? Potencial da computação quântica (25:46) De onde vem a energia nuclear?

(01:04:44) Previsões: quando vamos conseguir tornar a energia de fusão viável? Livros recomendados: The Star Builders, de Arthur Turrell. Star Power, de Alain Bécoulet _______________ Todos sabemos que, para fazer face às alterações climáticas, o Mundo tem forçosamente de diminuir o consumo de energias fósseis. O petróleo e o gás são, além disso, altamente sensíveis a perturbações geopolíticas, como os últimos meses têm mostrado, com impacto directo na vida das pessoas. No entanto, a verdade é que a energia é necessária, e as energias renováveis ainda não permitem fazer face às necessidades energéticas, de tal forma que o grosso da energia consumida no mundo continua a ser de combustíveis fósseis. Mas e se vos dissesse que existe uma fonte de energia alternativa que não emite dióxido de carbono para a atmosfera, tem um baixo risco associado e é, além disso, virtualmente ilimitada? Parece exagero, mas é verdade. Chama-se energia de fusão nuclear. Esta energia é ainda mais poderosa do que a energia nuclear clássica (de fissão), utiliza matérias ilimitadas (átomos e isótopos de hidrogénio) e, ao contrário daquela, produz muito pouca radioactividade. E se vos dissesse, ainda, que tem havido nos últimos tempos avanços promissores que podem tornar esta energia viável nas próximas décadas? Há muito tempo, há quase um século, que sabemos que é possível produzir energia de fusão. Por uma razão simples: é ela a fonte de energia do Sol, onde as altas temperaturas e a enorme gravidade geram a fusão de átomos de hidrogénio. No entanto, conseguir gerar este tipo de reacção na terra tem-se revelado muito difícil. Esta dificuldade é de tal forma, que há até uma piada batida no meio: “faltam só 30 anos até termos energia de fusão… e hão-de sempre faltar!”. Abordei a energia de fusão pela primeira vez no 45 Graus, no final de 2018, no episódio 42, com Luís O. Silva, físico e professor do Técnico. Em qualquer outra altura das últimas décadas, é quase certo que um episódio gravado há 3 anos continuaria perfeitamente actual. No entanto, desta vez não é assim -- e por bons motivos. Tem havido nos últimos anos desenvolvimentos importantes nesta área. Só no último ano, verificaram-se dois dos maiores avanços concretos das últimas décadas no caminho para produzir energia de fusão. Em Agosto do ano passado, nos EUA, a National Ignition Facility (NIF) bateu o record no que toca ao rácio de energia gerada pelo processo de fusão nuclear face à energia que foi necessário injectar para accionar a fusão (a energia gerada continua a ser menos do que a energia injectada, mas é um resultado muito promissor). E mais recentemente, em fevereiro deste ano (o que, em Ciência, é o mesmo que dizer -- ontem), o laboratório JET, no Reino Unido, bateu o record do máximo de energia total gerada pelo processo de fusão. Ainda faltam muitos passos para tornar esta energia viável, mas estes são dois progressos muito importantes; de tal forma que ainda em Março houve uma cimeira importante sobre o tema organizada pelo governo norte-americano. Ao mesmo tempo, estes progressos e o imperativo de encontrar soluções para as alterações climáticas tem levado a um aumento do investimento, inclusive privado, com dezenas de novas empresas a tentarem, actualmente, serem as primeiras a produzir energia de fusão viável. Parece por isso, finalmente, que podemos ter uma expectativa realista de ver avanços importantes nesta área no futuro próximo. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PREVIEW Guest: Henry Sokolski. Sokolski describes a new warfare tactic piloted by Russia that utilizes non-nuclear strategic weapons to disable critical infrastructure nodes, such as electricity and communications. While China is actively building these intercontinental systems to force surrender without nuclear fallout, the U.S. currently lacks a coherent response to this specific threat.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Moscow deploys its newest nuclear-capable missile system to Belarus, placing a powerful new class of weapons on NATO's doorstep and forcing the alliance to reassess its defensive posture. Beijing lashes out after Washington approves a massive arms package for Taiwan worth more than ten billion dollars, including missiles, drones, and heavy artillery. New reporting claims President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quietly planned a potential strike on Iran's nuclear program far earlier than publicly known, using a coordinated deception campaign. And in Today's Back of the Brief: Just days after the deadly attack on Bondi Beach, Australian police launch a dramatic operation in Sydney amid intelligence warnings of a possible follow-on plot.

PREVIEW: General Blaine Holt warns that military war games frequently escalate toward nuclear conflict, a tendency that integrating artificial intelligence might accelerate rather than mitigate. He argues that current models often lead to "civilization consequences," necessitating new simulation constructs focused on de-escalation despite aggressive geopolitical rhetoric.

In 1983, Stanislav Petrov, a Soviet lieutenant colonel, sat in a bunker watching a red screen flash “MISSILE LAUNCH.” Protocol demanded he report it to superiors, which would very likely trigger a retaliatory nuclear strike. Petrov didn't. He reasoned that if the US were actually attacking, they wouldn't fire just 5 missiles — they'd empty the silos. He bet the fate of the world on a hunch that his machine was broken. He was right.Paul Scharre, the former Army Ranger who led the Pentagon team that wrote the US military's first policy on autonomous weapons, has a question: What would an AI have done in Petrov's shoes? Would an AI system have been flexible and wise enough to make the same judgement? Or would it immediately launch a counterattack?Paul joins host Luisa Rodriguez to explain why we are hurtling toward a “battlefield singularity” — a tipping point where AI increasingly replaces humans in much of the military, changing the way war is fought with speed and complexity that outpaces humans' ability to keep up.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/psMilitaries don't necessarily want to take humans out of the loop. But Paul argues that the competitive pressure of warfare creates a “use it or lose it” dynamic. As former Deputy Secretary of Defense Bob Work put it: “If our competitors go to Terminators, and their decisions are bad, but they're faster, how would we respond?”Once that line is crossed, Paul warns we might enter an era of “flash wars” — conflicts that spiral out of control as quickly and inexplicably as a flash crash in the stock market, with no way for humans to call a timeout.In this episode, Paul and Luisa dissect what this future looks like:Swarming warfare: Why the future isn't just better drones, but thousands of cheap, autonomous agents coordinating like a hive mind to overwhelm defences.The Gatling gun cautionary tale: The inventor of the Gatling gun thought automating fire would reduce the number of soldiers needed, saving lives. Instead, it made war significantly deadlier. Paul argues AI automation could do the same, increasing lethality rather than creating “bloodless” robot wars.The cyber frontier: While robots have physical limits, Paul argues cyberwarfare is already at the point where AI can act faster than human defenders, leading to intelligent malware that evolves and adapts like a biological virus.The US-China “adoption race”: Paul rejects the idea that the US and China are in a spending arms race (AI is barely 1% of the DoD budget). Instead, it's a race of organisational adoption — one where the US has massive advantages in talent and chips, but struggles with bureaucratic inertia that might not be a problem for an autocratic country.Paul also shares a personal story from his time as a sniper in Afghanistan — watching a potential target through his scope — that fundamentally shaped his view on why human judgement, with all its flaws, is the only thing keeping war from losing its humanity entirely.This episode was recorded on October 23-24, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Paul Scharre?

Police Publish and Quickly Delete Photos of Rob Reiner's Son Being Cuffed for Slaughtering Parents, Give No Explanation Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of liberal activist and famed director Rob Reiner, has been arrested and charged with the brutal murder of his parents. The LAPD Gang and Narcotics Division published dramatic photos of Nick's handcuffed arrest on Instagram on Monday, but quickly deleted them without explanation. Rob Reiner, 78, known for classics like The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, and When Harry Met Sally, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home on Sunday afternoon. The New York Post reports: Nick Reiner, whose face is blurred out, is seen being forced to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, according to one photo. Another snap showed law enforcement pushing the suspect against the front of a squad car. In the caption, the unit only identified the man as “a double homicide suspect.” The arrest was made by US Marshals with the assistance of the LAPD's robbery homicide division, according to the post. An LAPD spokesperson declined to comment when asked why the force's gang and narcotics unit deleted the arrest photo shortly after it was published. The since-deleted photos: Nick, who has long battled severe drug addiction starting in his teens, co-wrote and starred in the 2016 semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, directed by his father, which chronicled a young man's struggles with substance abuse and rehab. Insiders report that Nick “really resented” his father and “hated himself for not being as successful,” amid ongoing family tensions. The night before the murders, Rob and Nick reportedly got into a “very loud argument” at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, loud enough for other guests to notice.

TAKE A LISTEN https://twitter.com/RealSLokhova/status/2000919590449394156?s=20 Real Texas Conservative  The tragic deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele on December 14, 2025, have cast a somber shadow over Hollywood, prompting reflections on legacy, loss, and the lingering scars of political division. In response, President Donald Trump’s Truth Social post on December 15, 2025 – framing their passing through the lens of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) – has ignited controversy. Yet, when examined against the backdrop of Reiner’s decade-long barrage of vitriolic rhetoric against Trump, the statement emerges not as callous, but as an appropriate blend of pointed satire, genuine sympathy, and a timely concern for mental health. This piece builds an ironclad case for its fittingness, rooted in factual history, psychological insight, and legal precedent. To understand the appropriateness of Trump’s words, one must first confront the unyielding hostility Reiner directed at him since 2015. Reiner, celebrated for directing classics like “This Is Spinal Tap” and “The Princess Bride,” transformed into one of Trump’s most vocal detractors after his presidential candidacy. In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reiner labeled Trump a “con man” and “dangerous,” warning he would erode democratic norms. This escalated over the years. By 2018, Reiner tweeted comparisons of Trump to Hitler, accusing him of fostering fascism and white supremacy. His 2024 documentary “God & Country” explicitly tied Trump’s influence to Christian nationalism, portraying it as a threat to American democracy. Reiner’s social media feed became a relentless stream of attacks, calling Trump a “pathological liar,” “sociopath,” and “existential danger” in posts that amassed millions of views. Even in 2025, shortly before his death, Reiner urged boycotts of Trump-related events, framing his re-election as apocalyptic. These were not isolated jabs but a sustained campaign, often personal and inflammatory, that Reiner himself admitted stemmed from deep-seated outrage. This history of antagonism, predominantly initiated by Reiner, sets the stage for why Trump’s response is not only defensible but proportionate. Far from escalating the feud posthumously, Trump’s post acknowledges Reiner’s talents – “a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star” – while attributing the tragedy to TDS, a “mind-crippling disease” fueled by “raging obsession.” This framing isn’t baseless invention; it’s grounded in credible psychological analysis. Critics have questioned the timing of Trump’s post, issued just a day after the tragedy, as potentially too raw or opportunistic. However, this immediacy is precisely what makes it authentic and effective, aligning with Trump’s longstanding style of direct, unfiltered leadership in a 24/7 news cycle where narratives solidify within hours. Historical precedents abound; consider how President Lincoln addressed critics’ deaths or political losses with prompt wit during the Civil War, using fresh moments to foster national introspection and prevent distorted legacies. Similarly, Trump’s swift response cuts through emerging media spin – already framing Reiner solely as a heroic anti-Trump voice – by injecting balance and psychological truth right when public discourse peaks. Delaying would risk seeming calculated or detached, whereas this timing underscores sincerity, especially paired with the post’s sympathetic close. In essence, it’s not haste but strategic candor, transforming grief into a teachable moment on division’s dangers before emotions calcify. Transitioning from personal history to broader insight, TDS has been recognized by mental health experts as a manifestation of intense political polarization leading to real psychological strain. Psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, in analyses shared on platforms like the Mark Simone Show, described TDS as rooted in “mass hysteria,” where individuals project anxieties onto a political figure, resulting in paranoia, chronic stress, and potential health declines. Research in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology supports this, linking partisan hatred to elevated cortisol levels, anxiety disorders, and weakened well-being. Trump’s reference to TDS isn’t mockery; it’s a diagnostic observation, highlighting how Reiner’s fixation – evident in his own words – might have contributed to personal tolls, especially amid reports of familial strife surrounding the deaths. By raising this, Trump shifts the narrative from vendetta to vigilance, urging awareness of how ideological obsessions erode lives. Moreover, the post’s satirical edge aligns with a storied tradition of political commentary, making it intellectually apt rather than insensitive. Trump employs hyperbole – “driving people CRAZY” amid America’s “Golden Age” – to underscore the irony of Reiner’s paranoia against tangible achievements like record economic growth, Middle East peace accords, and energy independence during his administration. This mirrors Jonathan Swift’s exaggerated proposals in “A Modest Proposal” or Abraham Lincoln’s witty rebukes of critics, using humor to expose societal flaws without literal malice. Legally, such expression is shielded by the First Amendment; the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell affirms that satirical opinions about public figures, absent provable falsehoods, are protected speech. Trump’s “reportedly due to” phrasing acknowledges speculation, ensuring it remains opinion, not defamation. What elevates the statement to appropriateness is its undercurrent of grace amid past unkindnesses, including Trump’s rare direct engagement with Reiner pre-tragedy despite the instigations. The post concludes with “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” This isn’t perfunctory; it’s a sincere extension of sympathy, humanizing both parties and transcending the feud while modeling reciprocity in an era of unrelenting acrimony. Trump’s words match rhetoric’s intensity yet cap it with compassion and a mental health caveat, turning potential gloating into a nudge toward understanding division’s toll. In conclusion, Trump’s response is ironclad in its fittingness because it reciprocates a decade of Reiner’s attacks with measured satire, validates psychological realities, and prioritizes sympathy over score-settling. It doesn’t diminish the tragedy but illuminates division’s costs, encouraging reflection.

They had their own police. They had their own everything, but you'd have to ask that question really to the school, not to the FBI.

JD Vance Points Out the Consequence of the Senate “Blue Slip” Veto of Judicial Nominees It was passed by Congress on May 13, 1912, and ratified on April 8, 1913 The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution grants Congress the authority to impose and collect income taxes without the need to apportion them among the states or base them on census data. constitution.congress.gov It was passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified on February 3, 1913. all of this is an outcome of the 17th Amendment, which stopped the state legislatures from having control over their senators.  Under the original constitutional framework, the Senate was designed to represent the interests of the state, as the Senators were appointed by state legislature, not popular votes.  The Sea Island assembly destroyed this cornerstone when they triggered the 17th Amendment. Repeal the 17th Amendment, and just about everything in federal government changes. Machiavelli said, “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”  A prescient and oft repeated quote that is pertinent to the situation. When our founders created the system of government for our constitutional republic, they built in layers of protection from federal control over the lives of people in the states.  Over time, those protections have been eroded as the federal bureaucracy has seized power.  One of the biggest changes that led to the creation of the permanent political class was the 17th Amendment. Our founders created a system where Senators were appointed by the state legislatures.  In this original system, the Senate was bound by obligation to look out for the best interests of their specific states.  Under the ‘advise and consent‘ rules of Senate confirmation for executive branch appointments, the intent was to ensure the presidential appointee -who would now carry out regulatory activity- would not undermine the independent position of the states.  .When the 17th Amendment (direct voting for Senators) took the place of state appointments, the perspective of ‘advise and consent' changed.  The Senate was now in the position of ensuring the presidential appointee did not undermine the power of the permanent bureaucracy, which is the root of power for the upper-chamber. Senate committees, Homeland Security, Judiciary, Intelligence, Armed Services, Foreign Relations, etc. now consists of members who carry an imbalanced level of power within government.  The Senate now controls who will be in charge of executive branch agencies like the DOJ, DHS, FBI, CIA, ODNI, DoD, State Dept and NSA, from the position of their own power and control in Washington DC. In essence, the 17th Amendment flipped the intent of the constitution from protecting the individual states to protecting the federal government. Seventeenth Amendment- “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures. When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.” (link)   The biggest issue following the passage of the 17th Amendment became Senators who were no longer representing the interests of their state.  Instead, they were representing the interests of the power elite groups who were helping them fund the mechanisms of their re-election efforts. A Senator only needs to run for re-election every six years.  The 17th Amendment is the only amendment that changed the structure of the Congress, as it was written by the founders. Over time, the Senate chamber itself began using their advice and consent authority to control the executive and judicial branch.  The origination of a nomination now holds the question: “Can this person pass the Senate confirmation process?” source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/j3669/status/2000683161273897213?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000952036238746070?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000671858417422538?s=20   is going to save the GOP, AGAIN.

Green bonds reshaped parts of sustainable finance and placed transparency and disclosure at the core of fixed-income markets. Although they didn't change credit risk they managed to change how investors evaluate credibility, disclosure, and intent.This 2-in-1 compilation revisits two earlier conversations about the early days of green bonds, when issuers and investors were still figuring out how the product worked. This was before sustainable finance went mainstream. In that period, climate reporting was uneven and measurement frameworks were still taking shape.You'll hear highlights from the interviews with Marilyn Ceci and Romina Reversi. Both worked inside JP Morgan when the green bond market took shape.Marilyn Ceci led ESG Debt Capital Markets globally at JP Morgan. As a co-author of the Green Bond Principles, she helped establish voluntary guardrails that allowed the market to scale without losing liquidity.Romina Reversi served as a founding member of JP Morgan's ESG DCM team at a time when green bonds remained niche. She now leads Sustainable Investment Banking for the Americas at Crédit Agricole and focuses on green bonds, sustainability-linked bonds, and investor-aligned sustainability strategy.This compilation revisits:why green bonds became a communication tool for sustainability strategieswhy transparency itself was treated as impacthow standards enabled liquidity and scalehow nuclear energy re-entered the green bond conversationIf you want a clear, no-nonsense view of how green bonds actually work, this is the place to start.—Intro (00:00)Marilyn Ceci on early green bonds (03:36)What green bonds are versus traditional bonds (07:50)Why issuers choose green bonds over conventional debt (14:42)Do green bonds deliver pricing advantages or greeniums (17:15)Examples of real-world green bond financings (19:17)Evolution from green to broader ESG bond markets (24:24)Challenges and criticisms of green bonds (30:49)Romina Reversi's pivot into founding ESG capital markets at JP Morgan (38:44)Early sustainable finance misconceptions explained (40:29)Building ESG teams from scratch challenges (42:08)Green bonds explained for newcomers (43:41)First tech green bonds lessons learned (45:29)Romina's role at Crédit Agricole (46:50)Nuclear energy and sustainable finance (54:21)Greenwashing criticism and additionality debate (58:52)— Discover More from SRI360°:Explore all episodes of the SRI360° Podcast Sign up for the free weekly email update —Additional Resources:Full conversation with Marilyn CeciFull conversation with Romina Reversi

In 2021, floods in Uttarakhand's Chamoli brought back to the fore concerns that the disaster may have been caused by a nuclear device lost close to the Nanda Devi peak during a joint IB-CIA operation. The New York Times has now examined fresh evidence to piece together the sequence of events that ended in the CIA losing a portable “beach-ball-size nuclear device” on the roof of the world. In episode 683 of #CutTheClutter, first published on 15 February 2021, ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta recreates this fascinating story of espionage, subterfuge, and mystery in the Cold War.

NASA's Nuclear Black Mold, Medusa's Raft, and the legend of The Devil's Lake — Episode 172 of Ninjas Are Butterflies dives into some of the strangest science stories and mythological mysteries we've come across. If you're into conspiracies, ancient weirdness, or anything that makes you say “there's no way that's real,” this episode has you covered.We break down the bizarre reports coming out of NASA involving mold that sounds way too dangerous to be allowed anywhere near space equipment. Then we jump into the story of Medusa's Raft, a myth that somehow feels both historical and like the setup to a horror movie. And finally, we dig into the unsettling lore surrounding The Devil's Lake and why so many people insist something is off about that place.It's a mix of science, mythology, conspiracy, and whatever tangent we inevitably end up on. If you enjoy episodes where we try to make sense of stories that absolutely do not want to be made sense of, you'll feel right at home. Let's get into it.

Silver just detonated. Kerry Lutz and Craig Hemke break down the explosive move that vaulted silver from the mid-$30s to almost $62, and why this breakout finally looks real. They get into the momentum shift, short covering, and the holiday-trading setup that let prices rip while the pros were off the desk. This market is waking up. They dig into historical patterns, gold/silver ratios, and why the fourth quarter into early January is primed for upside. Craig explains the Black Friday surge, the liquidity gap, and how managed money chased the rally higher. The risks — and the opportunity. From broken suppression efforts to shaky unallocated accounts, they lay out why dips are getting bought, why shorts are trapped, and why physical ownership matters more than ever. If silver's truly breaking its cage, this may be the opening move.
