Episode notes

The Globe and Mail reports the U.S. President has executed thousands of stock trades this year, many placed just before his own announcements moved the markets, with no blind trust in place. Maxi Holler and Hancho Padry break down the disclosure filings, the 78% win rate, and the estimated $40 million in trading profits flowing through accounts controlled by the man setting trade policy. Tonight's panel includes forensic accountant Chubogen Janie pulling the trade records, civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield walking through what the law actually says about presidential insider trading, and veteran reporter Jimmy Fiddler with sources on the trading floor. We name the bad actors: Trump, Eric and Don Jr., Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and SEC Chair Paul Atkins. We hear from the bar regulars losing their 401k savings, from Doris in Toledo who lost $11,000 of root canal money, and from Roe in Detroit postponing her son's college visits. This is independent commentary, not investment advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Call your senator's office tomorrow and ask them by name where they stand. Proverbs 28:8 — he who increases his wealth by unjust gain gathers it for one who pities the poor.
