Bitcoin is crashing, and Tré’s upset - but John’s got bigger concerns, like the billions being spent to find out whether LGBTQ rats can transition. In this episode, we take on the wild world of government spending, market corrections, and how it all affects your wallet.

We track the NASDAQ’s rollercoaster ride, from steady growth under Bush, Clinton, and early Biden to the COVID-era’s artificial inflation fueled by stimulus spending. But were those gains ever real? And now that the market is correcting, is this Trump’s doing, or just the inevitable fallout from pandemic-era policies?

Then comes the spending debate: Trump’s viral claim about $8 million for transgender mice research, verifiable USAID allocations - including $3 million for LGBTQ+ initiatives in the Caribbean - while domestic crises like Maui’s recovery remain underfunded.

With inflation, market uncertainty, and questionable spending priorities, we ask: Should taxpayer dollars stay home, or is global influence worth the cost? Let us know where you stand.

A business blaming "woke culture" for its downfall? We talk about the case of Armed Forces Brewing Company, a Norfolk brewery that is shutting down while pointing fingers at a "local woke mob."
