Geopolitical analyst and commentator Xoaquin Flores comes back to the podcast to discuss a number of topics in the wake of the Trump/Putin Summit in Alaska on August 15th.  From Turkey's unfocused aggression to the repeated attempts to isolate Serbia, there are no shortage of responses from the "usual suspects" in City of London and Brussels.  Xoaquin breaks these things down in granular detail for us which, to me, is required listening.

Custodia Bank CEO and crytpo-advocate Caitlin Long comes back to the podcast to challenge me on a number of subjects concerning the Federal Reserve What role did OMC Chair Jerome Powell play in assisting or hindering the Biden Junta's persecution of conservatives, it's debanking operations, and how it mismanaged the post-COVID world.  We also discuss how that interfaces with the new stablecoin regime being put in place legally by President Trump and what it really means for the US Treasury market and the US dollar.

Dexter White returns to discuss why what you thought you hated inStar Wars: The Acolyte wasn't anything different than why you thought you hated Trump's Budget Reconciliation bill or any other "Outrage Du Jour."  We have a growing divide in political commentary that has trapped an entire locus of people on the left and the right to ensure there is no center.

Bitcoin advocate, entrepreneur, and Albertan patriot Dave Bradley joins me for a belated look at the G-7, Albertan independence and how the rush for pristine collateral is the race against time that Davos and City of London are working so hard to avoid going against their plans for a digitized neo-feudal world.

Vince Lanci returns to the podcast to follow up on Episode #213's discussion with Caitlin Long.  Vince lays out his argument for why the GENIUS Bill, stablecoins, and crypto will usher in a new era of financial terms enforced this time by the US vs. City of London.  

It's the flipside to the ideas floated by Ms. Long.   In short, dollar bulls and bears may in fact be right... but for reasons you haven't truly thought of yet.
