Money & Markets

Unfortunately, the American people…

John and Catherine react to Trump’s Easter remarks about taking Iran’s oil, argue public support for the war is low, and say US operations and regime-change efforts have repeatedly failed, risking the dollar’s reserve status. They discuss an announced ceasefire based on Iran’s long-standing 10-point plan—seen as fragile and not including Israel or Lebanon—while alleging a costly US rescue operation deep in Iran may have masked other objectives. The episode covers a proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget plus a $200 billion Iran war supplemental, rising fuel prices and rationing abroad, and the weakening dollar alongside higher oil, gold, and aerospace/space equities. They link the war to central-banking “house always wins” architecture, highlight domestic DHS purchases of “less-lethal” munitions, ongoing cabinet shakeups tied to Epstein-file fallout, AI-driven impersonation/copyright fraud, prediction-market regulation fights, and warnings about a possible draft and broader economic deterioration.

  1. The bet should have been how long the cease fire will last… I started watching this Fri-Sun. That’s intentional just to process the information in parts. The cease fire ended Saturday night. For a bunch of war craving manics the concept of peace is total alien to them. It was never going to happen.

    1. I believe David is Richard’s son. After reading Empire of Pain and watching several documentaries and video footage, it was my conclusion that Richard had significant leadership and institutional support to do what he did – the goal was for profit depopulation. IMO Sackler understood what he was doing and believed what he was doing was perfectly fine.

  2. The incident in Butler, and the deification of Trump by a significant % of Americans as a result of this “miracle” has had a significant impact on Trump’s capacity to do Mr Global’s bidding. He was already the consummate salesman: now his brand is fully endorsed by God. Well, thank God for Tim Dillon who, this week, all for funsies (of course) posits what would happen if Trump spilled the beans on the theatrics in Butler. Those of us who know what we know about that day will be vindicated yet:)

      1. You two need to get in cahoots! Solari can sponsor a gala event each year featuring Tim doing a no-holds-barred roast/wrap-up of the political BS.
        You can call it:
        The State of Amusement Address.
        Would be THE event of the year.
        At the very least an interview/discussion with him on humor as a strategy in dealing with evil would be a must-watch.

  3. Update from Canada.

    I just got my Visa statement for April. Effective July 2, 2026, Visa will be (for the first time) charging interest on interest.

    You have two options: pay or get rid of your Visa OR pay and keep your Visa.

    What does this have to do with Visa being kicked out of the EU?
