Wall Street’s double standard is on full display. Chris revisits his long-standing argument that major investment houses and their executives are virtually untouchable—facing fines that amount to little more than parking tickets—while outsiders who cross them pay a steep price. Using the case of Charlie Javis, the Frank founder sentenced for defrauding JP Morgan Chase, he exposes how the rules of power, profit, and punishment work differently when you’re not part of the “Too Big to Fail” club.

From the excitement of elite athletes to the disgrace of unruly fans, this reflection calls out bad behavior at sporting events. Using the Ryder Cup at Bethpage as a cautionary tale, it reminds us to appreciate the skill, dedication, and performance of the players—not to embarrass ourselves, our families, or our country by acting like an inebriated fool. Sportsmanship, respect, and watching the game with your eyes wide open matter more than loud cheers or cheap antics.

A 100% tariff on films made overseas might sound tough, but it ignores the real reasons Hollywood productions left the U.S. in the first place. From high healthcare costs to foreign tax breaks, no tariff will bring them back—and the result would only saddle consumers and farmers with more economic pain. This breakdown exposes the political theater behind the policy and why it misses the mark.

AOC’s caucus says it wants to ban stock trading in Congress—but their own portfolios tell a different story. In this episode:

• The Progressive Caucus’ jaw-dropping returns: 106% for one rep, 71% for Pelosi
• How “blind trusts” are the new insider trading loophole
• The thousands of trades lawmakers make while supposedly doing their jobs
• Why Peter Schweizer warned us about this 15 years ago—and nothing’s changed

• Why the Uniparty always wins (and you always lose)
