DIY War, Oil, and a Market in Denial

The hosts revive a "day in history" segment highlighting William Tyndale's 1523 English Bible translation and argue that Sir Thomas More, though revered as a saint, used authorities to hunt down and execute Tyndale. They then discuss the speaker's recent luncheon talk in Argentina for Rand Paul during his visit, where he said Javier Milei's election is historically important but criticized Milei for not acting like an anarcho-capitalist, citing failures such as not abolishing the central bank, moving Argentina's gold abroad, buying used F-16s, seeking NATO/Ukraine/Israel ties, and keeping foreign exchange controls. They note a $96 homemade MANPADS prototype as evidence of democratized warfare, then assess the US-Iran conflict's changing warfare dynamics, vulnerability of carriers, and risks from Strait of Hormuz disruptions, UAE and Houthi escalation, and attacks on Russian facilities, warning of recession/depression amid rising rates, private credit stress, an AI/data-center bubble, and overvalued markets, while remaining bullish but cautious on gold, gold stocks, and select oil stocks.
