Show Notes

From rising tariffs to US debt refinancing, this episode dives deep into America's growing tension with China—and how it's reshaping global markets. We cover rare earth mineral dependencies, the future of US manufacturing, the Huawei phone ban, and the real risks to data privacy. Plus: NVIDIA gets blindsided, the Bitcoin whale count grows, MetaPlanet joins the big leagues, and we revisit Dave Ramsey's mortgage takes. If you're trying to understand how geopolitics, tech, and crypto collide, this one's for you.
