Money & Markets
The Quicksand Presidency
In this episode of Money & Markets, Catherine and John delve into the chaotic landscape of the ‘Quicksand Presidency.’ They discuss Trump’s tumultuous handling of interest rates, the Federal Reserve, and his scapegoating of Jerome Powell for economic troubles. They scrutinize insider trading allegations involving Trump’s sons and the volatile firings within the Department of Defense, highlighting the recurrent theme of internal dissent and messy optics in Trump’s administration. They also cover geopolitical tensions, specifically around Ukraine and Iran, and how policy decisions are being made with less regard for effective governance and more for political theater.
They also discuss the tragic ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine and their far-reaching implications, painting a picture of an administration fraught with challenges both at home and abroad.

Hi – I wonder if you two follow Nathan Tankus? https://www.crisesnotes.com/
I found this blog entry particularly hair-raising:

I’m on the mobile app. I have tried to access the new M&M report but cannot. When I click on the link it just takes me to this comment page with a (non URL) image at the top. Also, I always listen to the MP3 while driving. For previous shows I am only seeing video now, when there used to be both video and audio. Anyone have any tips for a mobile app user on how to access this new show? Much appreciated, as always!
I believe that MP3 access has been restored now. We’re still doing the final tweaks to the mobile app. Thank you for your patience!
FROM OUR TEAM:
A half hour ago, I finished restoring the mobile app. I can check this later, but when I tried it just now, it worked with the MP3s.
Try it now and let me know if it works!
I can’t get it to play. I had it playing yesterday But now I just get the picture without the arrow to start the video so I don’t know if there’s a problem with the new website mechanisms or if the problem is with the app on my phone or if the problem is “user in chair”
Nice site! Are the links to the stories with time stamps still available? I don’t see them under the ‘links’. I print one for every week as it helps navigate the stories and refer back to old ones later. Thank you!
Will review with the team. Thanks, John
Agree with John B. Would like timestamps again.
Thanks!
YES! TIMESTAMPS…
I am sick to death of this website. Every time I go to another page on my iPhone, and come back to solari.com. I have to start the video all over. It is incredibly frustrating. I’m not sure if it’s a problem with my phone, but I don’t think so. I know that there has been discussion about improved website function. Anyway, from what I can tell this website really does not work well.
I was having this issue before, but I found out lately it now keeps my place. Not sure if this was with the new site format or if it was just fixed.
Marilyn:
What browser are you using? Will look into it – thank you for letting us know.
Catherine
Right or wrong. I would always blame an iphone before blaming Solari.
Hello Catherine and Team,
I really appreciate all that you’re doing and believe that it is critical to the survival of the USA. I’m American but currently living here in Stuttgart, Germany and am just providing this for your information. On the old/previous website for the last month or two I had trouble with the primary video hanging a lot but when I went to the mirror EU it worked fine. But now with the new website when I try to listen to Money & Markets it either hangs or doesn’t work at all. I’m guessing it has to do with the fact that I’m over here in Europe as it sound like it’s working fine for those in the USA, and maybe there needs to be another mirror EU on the new website??? Ok, an update while I write–I’ve got Money & Markets on (for 24 APR 25) trying to play now and it comes on (video and sound) and plays well for about 10 or 15 seconds and then stops again for 5 or 10 minutes–so I guess it does relate to the fact that I’m over here far away from the servers and it’s slowly downloading but not streaming. Anyway, I’m sure you’ll get it fixed and I just wanted to let you know what’s happening from my position in Europe.
Thanks for all you do and God bless,
Don Krumm
Hi Catherine, you mentioned on the Shannon Joy show a book about how companies made money during the Great Depression. Do you remember the name of the book or author? Also, if you are ever traveling in northeast Florida, we’d be happy to hose you at Amelia Island!
