Money & Markets
Crosshairs
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.

Are the faraday bags available for europeans too? The caps weren’t so I did not bother.
Yes, they are available. Shipping jumps the price for Europe as they mail from the US. We are taking orders now. Should be available for shipping in 1-2 weeks.
Thanks for the info.
Tiburon is absolutely gorgeous! I use to drive around there dreaming about living in one of those homes!
Great show! I’ll have to be quicker to order a faraday bag.
Me too, I lived in Mill Valley for over 30 years, and Tiburon is exquisite, Belvedere Island is another level!
Why can’t all of this be because Trump isn’t the guy they want in the WH, but J.D. Vance is and always has been. If we’re going to do some theorizing, why is that possibility not considered?
Ooops, later on you guys bring up the possibility. My daughter calls J.D. Vance a Stepford Wife (spelling). From the beginning, I have said: they don’t want Trump they Vance, but they have to start with Trump. This household says: beware of Vance. He’s going to be worse than Trump. Like Powell he looks like an adult; whereas Trump doesn’t.
I am having trouble streaming this, and I find that curious. Every few minutes, it stops and just spins. I hit refresh and get another few minutes. Unless it is from solar activity messing with the grid, I suspect this episode is being tampered with externally. I am in BC, Canada – I tested my ISP speed and it is fine. I have run some other streaming services, and they are fine. I have watched the 2nd Quarter wrap-ups the last couple of days and had no problems. I should probably say this is not a complaint but a report of what I am experiencing.
Thanks so much for the reports. Chances of tampering are real. We thought we have finally gotten rid of this in April with the new site, but now it is starting. Looking into backups.
Great program guys. Jordan Henderson’s graphs are an eye opener. So very many years of lies and swindles exposed. The truth will set us free, we hope.
Is our land now co managed by Israel? God help us. Great show as always.

I’ll admit to enjoying and admiring John’s sense of Humour.
Re : Stablecoins
I’ve gained the impression that the USA claims worldwide jurisdiction on any contract or transaction made with US dollars. Logically, that may apply to Stablecoins linked to US Dollars also.
I’d be interested to hear contrary opinion.
Yes. They will claim legal jurisdiction over all dollar stablecoins.
