Summary

Marty sits down with Edward Dowd to discuss the Federal Reserve's rate cuts, an impending housing and stock market crisis driven by the end of illegal immigration-fueled economic stimulus, the collapse of subprime auto lender Tri-Color, COVID vaccine injuries continuing to impact the economy, and how the recent assassination has diverted attention from accountability efforts.

You've had a dynamic where money has become freer than free.

0:10.0

If you talk about a Fed just gone nuts, all the central banks going nuts.

0:16.0

So it's all acting like safe haven.

0:18.0

I believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their

currency, Bitcoin wins. In the world of fiat currencies, Bitcoin is the victor.

0:29.2

I mean, that's part of the bold case for Bitcoin.

0:31.8

If you're not paying attention, you probably should be.

They were a disaster.

1:24.8

We've been predicting a real estate housing crisis. We put out a report in January

1:30.0

that talked about that that people can buy. And our conviction in that call is only just getting,

1:37.8

you know, more convicted, I should say. And today, today the data is bad. My partner Carlos called me this morning.

1:45.9

He said, I'm updating the dashboards, and this is pretty bad. So the housing market's rolling over.
