The House Gets 41 Days of Paid Vacation in Exchange for Protecting Pedophiles

Money & Markets

Catherine and John open with the explosive public and political fallout from the Epstein files release. Despite bipartisan American support for transparency, they explore why Congress remains gridlocked and what this reveals about government accountability. With public patience wearing thin, they predict a turbulent political season ahead.

The conversation shifts to financial markets, where stablecoins are reshaping monetary systems while AI’s massive energy demands create new economic pressures. They examine the speculation driving asset tokenization and what it means for traditional finance.

High interest rates and labor shortages—intensified by ICE raids—are crushing American farmers. Catherine and John connect these domestic struggles to broader geopolitical tensions, US-China trade dynamics, and shifting global energy patterns. Even the Fed’s controversial building renovation spending gets scrutiny.

The episode concludes with practical resistance strategies against pervasive digital monitoring. From switching to “dumb phones” to using Faraday bags, they offer concrete steps listeners can take to protect their privacy as global and domestic policies face significant turbulent changes ahead.
