"Why did 18 of 19 financiers just get their convictions thrown out — eleven years after prison took their lives?"

A banker gets 14 years — the sentence we reserve for second-degree murder — for nudging a number by a hundredth of a percent. Eleven years later, the courts admit there was never a crime. On this episode, Yaron Brook tears into the acquittal of the LIBOR traders and argues Wall Street has been the West's designated scapegoat since the 2008 crash — while the central banks that actually rigged the system walk free.

From there Yaron goes to war: a three-day Pentagon strike plan on Iran is sitting on Trump's desk and nobody will sign it, Navi Pillay just won a Nobel Peace Prize that makes Obama's look earned, and JD Vance just suspended Microsoft and seven other companies from the green card system — proof the "we're only against illegal immigration" line was always a lie. Plus: SpaceX's $8 billion spectrum play that could gut AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile overnight, and a genuinely stunning number on cancer survival that nobody's talking about.

If you think finance is evil, immigration is the enemy, or "peace" prizes mean anything anymore — this episode will wreck your priors.
