The Perfect Storm: Debt, Oil, AI and the Road to CBDC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Rock of Talk, Eddy Aragon speaks with Zanetti Financial’s Greg Zanetti, Walt Benson, and newly licensed advisor Amy Fox about mounting economic and geopolitical risks. The panel argues that weakening demand for U.S. debt, especially from major foreign buyers, signals stress in the global bond market and could accelerate a broader financial reset. They link those concerns to pressure on trucking—from taxes, regulations, cargo theft, and driver shortages—and to an emerging oil crunch shaped by
Second Amendment Week: The Gun Control Act is Showing it's Age (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eddy Aragon rounds up a big stretch for the Second Amendment and takes a clear stand: if an adult can vote, serve on a jury, and be drafted, that adult can buy a handgun. The Rock of Talk breaks down the Fifth Circuit’s September 18 ruling striking down the federal ban on buying handguns across state lines, the Justice Department’s decision to stop enforcing two 1968 rules for adults under 21, and a Delaware judge’s partial ruling against ghost-gun restrictions.

The Rock of Talk stresses that nothing has been signed and Russia has not agreed, then explains why small, practical deals can

Read excerpt
Eddy Aragon celebrates a federal judge’s dismissal of Michigan’s antitrust lawsuit accusing BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell, and the American Petroleum Institute of conspiring to suppress renewable energy and electric vehicles. The Rock of Talk walks through the ruling, which found the link between the alleged conspiracy and consumers’ overcharges too remote, and notes that Michigan’s attorney general is weighing her options. Eddy calls climate lawfare a scam wearing a lab coat, highlights the J
Missouri Maps: Ballots are in the Mail, Let it Go (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eddy Aragon takes a risky conservative position on Missouri’s redistricting fight: Republicans should drop the battle over their new 7–1 congressional map and win the seat at the ballot box. The Rock of Talk traces how a voter referendum, a last-minute ruling by the secretary of state, a unanimous Missouri Supreme Court decision, and dueling federal orders brought the case back to the U.S. Supreme Court for a third time in three weeks. Eddy stresses that the justices have not ruled, but notes ba
