What really caused the 2008 financial crisis? In this episode of the GrassRoots TruthCast, economist and author Todd Sheets breaks down the events that led to the global financial meltdown. From the rise of the housing bubble in the late 1990s to the collapse of the mortgage market in 2007-2008, we explore the policies, institutions, and economic decisions that triggered one of the worst financial crises in modern history. Todd explains: • How the housing bubble began in 1998 • The role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in shaping the housing market • Why the financial system collapsed in 2007–2008 • How government intervention and monetary policy influenced the crisis • Lessons policymakers must learn to avoid repeating the same mistakes The conversation also dives into broader economic themes including tariffs, globalization, China's rise, and the future of capitalism. If you want to understand what really happened during the 2008 financial crash and how it still affects housing today, this discussion breaks it down clearly. #2008FinancialCrisis #HousingCrash #HousingBubble #FinancialCrisis #EconomicsExplained #USHousingMarket #WallStreet #RealEstateCrash #EconomicHistory #CapitalismVsSocialism #GlobalEconomy #EconomicPolicy #FinanceEducation #ToddSheets #GrassrootsTruthCast➡️ Join the Conversation: https://GeneValentino.com➡️ WMXI Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NewsRadio981➡️ More WMXI Interviews: https://genevalentino.com/wmxi-interviews/➡️ More GrassRoots TruthCast Episodes: https://genevalentino.com/grassroots-truthcast-with-gene-valentino/➡️ More Broadcasts with Gene as the Guest: https://genevalentino.com/america-beyond-the-noise/ ➡️ More About Gene Valentino: https://genevalentino.com/about-gene-valentino/

The Affordability Crisis By Todd Sheets, Author of 2008: What Really Happened Around a year ago, Biden inflation helped re-elect Donald Trump. Last week, the same problem, repackaged as an affordability crisis and stamped upon the Trump administration, helped elect Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York City. These developments have reinvigorated the socialist wing of the Democrat Party that a) helped drive the failed Biden agenda in the first place; b) was relegated to a state of disarray by Trump's re-election; and c) then made Mamdani their new standard bearer
Shaun sets the record straight on boys and girls.

The post-World War II world has seen America defending and trying to export democracy and free markets through its military might and the development of international organizations having the same purpose. Under the Trump Administration II, and its recently released National Security Strategy the new approach can best be described as an ‘America First’ national security regime. It is in their words more ‘realistic’ given our fiscal challenges and offshore balance security concerns are to be left to allies closer to where the hotspots are. It shows growing concern for American business interests around the world, regardless of the political dynamics of the potential customer, and less about promoting more liberal, democratic governments. There are mixed signals toward our greatest competitor, China, though it clearly disavows the notion of past Administrations that trade and engagement with this country can lead to democratic reforms there. Some call this policy document a gift to the Russians. It remains to be seen. In many cases this document, updated by every Administration is put forward in theory but not in practice. However, we have just seen in the Venezuelan Maduro capture the re-emphasis of dominance in the Western Hemisphere. To discuss this changing international focus with us is Todd Sheets, author of the Substack newsletter ‘On Wealth and Progress’ and author of the book, “2008: What Really Happened.”

Trump, Mamdani, and an Exceptional Thanksgiving On Wealth and Progress it’s interesting how this idea has become something of a modern litmus test: i.e. if you believe America is truly exceptional, then you’re likely to be a conservative Republican or perhaps a centrist Democrat. If, on the other hand, you see America through the lens of colonialist exploitation, you’re likely to be a further-left liberal. This difference, perhaps as much as any, goes a long way toward explaining the deep political chasm in our country today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Fed is cornered — and markets are bracing for impact. Kerry Lutz and guest Todd Sheets break down the coming interest rate cut and what it means for your money. Todd predicts a 25–50 basis point drop, but warns that political pressure, a weakening job market, and stubborn inflation around 2.8% could turn this into a dangerous gamble. They dig into the Fed's long track record of failures — from the Great Depression to the runaway inflation of the 1970s — and why today's chronic deficits could spark similar crises. With precious metals flashing warning signals and Fed policy tilting toward asset holders over consumers, Kerry and Todd explain how investors can prepare for the fallout.
