About this episode

Isaiah Douglass joins Brady to discuss the implications of a $19 trillion promise turning into a $40 trillion reality amidst various economic challenges.

Isaiah Douglass joins Brady for a Friday sweep through a heavy week. The Bitcoin community's open letter to Anthropic headlines: over a thousand vulnerabilities found by volunteer red teamers, none by an American frontier model, and defenders paying for foreign AI while locked out at home. Then the exponential debt society: a $19 trillion promise that became a $40 trillion reality, interest costs passing defense, and Japan's financial repression playbook America can't copy because it owes the world, not itself. Plus bear market psychology, earned conviction, and a rare win: FinCEN deleting the ownership database it just retired.
