Rampant speculation, a divided Federal Reserve, big companies making big bets, and geopolitical instability. Sound familiar? That’s exactly the environment that led to the biggest stock market crash in history nearly a century ago, and many of those ingredients are prevalent at the end of 2025. Andrew Ross Sorkin, the best-selling author, New York Times writer and CNBC Anchor, joins The Express to talk about what really caused the Great Crash of 1929, the key players behind it, and the eerie similarities to what’s happening today in the stock market and the economy. Plus, blowout earnings from the biggest tech companies like Amazon and Alphabet are keeping the bulls running into the best six months of the year.
