Read excerpt
Recorded live while Warsh was speaking at Jackson Hole — and his comments made it into the episode. Inflation at 3.7%, financial conditions not restrictive, "we have work to do." No forward guidance. The Fed is quieter and the message is more hawkish than markets hoped. Oil is in the $80s — not $120 — because ships are turning off tracking systems to get through the Strait of Hormuz. Bitcoin crossed $80,000 with $2.5 billion in institutional ETF inflows behind it. And Nvidia doubled its revenue

Matt and Garrett break down what the earnings split means for investors, why the GDP headline understates how well the economy is actually doing, and what the Fed's deliberate silence is costing markets in near-term volatility. In the Planning Room: tokenized deposits. Not crypto — the banking infrastructure upgrade be
