Chris and Saied welcome back Haroon after being gone for a few episodes. The Huffington Post blasts "influencer" Grant Cardone in a sensational new article which speaks to many of the criticisms shared by Chris, Haroon and Saied on previous shows. Naturally, they get in to it and tell you how they really feel while providing insight in to why most of his purported investors don't understand what they are signing up for. They also explain how the Fed's looming instant payment modernization rollout is long overdue, but may be the first steps at a nationalized cryptocurrency. They dive in briefly to the rising homebuilder sentiment before wrapping up the show with Apollo's CEO description of a potential "non-recession" recession.
