James Check returns to explain Bitcoin's air pocket from $87K and why on-chain data points to seller exhaustion rather than a new leg down. He breaks down the base at the 200-week moving average, why $72K matters, and how short-term holders who bought the local high are capitulating while long-term holders sit tight. James and Marty also cover AI-driven hacks, Bitcoin Core's resilience, stablecoin redemptions, institutional normalization, and why Bitcoin has kept pace with the AI trade since 2023.

Pollster Mark Mitchell called the midterm blue wave months early, and he breaks down why the Trump administration still refuses to pivot. Mark explains how independents broke 20 points for Democrats, which pollsters got it right and wrong, and how Susie Wiles and the consultant class shielded special interests while killing DOGE. We cover Nick Fuentes and the young right, the Iran war fallout, a stealth depression squeezing younger Americans, AI and deflation risk, and why Mark thinks the Republican Party can't be fixed.

E.J. Antoni returns to break down the midterm blue wave and why he says Republicans lost because of the Iran war. Marty and E.J. cover energy prices bleeding into inflation, falling home affordability, a 35-point youth swing to the left, and the Grover Cleveland parallel. They also dig into tariffs and reindustrialization, Chevron deference and deregulation, Warsh's Fed, bank capital rules, Bessent and the Treasury's role in the repo market, and what a Democrat-controlled Congress means for interest rates.

Bitcoin is sitting near the 8th percentile of its 17-year power trend while sentiment feels like the summer of 2015. Matty Mežinskis of Porkopolis Economics walks Marty through Bitcoin priced in gold, the top five base monies, Fed balance sheet expansion echoing the 2019 repo crisis, and why stablecoins are a rounding error next to global broad money. They also cover falling costs for Bitcoin-backed lending, drone warfare, Russia's war on Ukraine, and when Bitcoin could rival central bank money.

Mel Mattison joins Marty to unpack October's market selloff and why it may be the best buying opportunity since the Iran war drawdown. They cover rising Treasury yields, fiscal dominance, and why Kevin Warsh and the Fed can't hike without bankrupting the government. Mel explains why the AI trade isn't AI, why compute and semiconductors win regardless of which model leads, and how tokenization, stablecoins, and agentic payments threaten the banking float model. Plus Social Security, Medicare, the midterms, and ending the Iran war.

Jeremy Ryan Slate, host of the Athenian Book Club, traces how Roman emperors debased the denarius from 95% silver to nearly nothing to fund legions and donatives. Marty Bent and Jeremy cover the Third Century Crisis, Diocletian's price controls, Constantine's gold solidus, and why sound money kept the Byzantine Empire stable for centuries. They draw parallels to Federal Reserve money printing, quantitative easing, the Cantillon effect, inflation, and why Bitcoin may offer a modern fix for broken money.

Erin Redwing joins Marty Bent to look back on two brutal months for Bitcoin after the ColdCard entropy vulnerability, AI-driven exploits, and the Hugging Face breach. They discuss why Bitcoin is the canary in the coal mine for AI security, the release of Kimi K3, AI safety fearmongering, effective altruism, Peter Thiel's Antichrist warning, the BIP 110 fork, and where Bitcoin goes from here. Erin also shares her astrological outlook for the rest of 2026.

Tommy Eastman of Nous Research joins Marty to break down Hermes Agent and why owning your intelligence stack matters. They cover the leap from chatbots to autonomous agentic AI, self-improving memory, and model-agnostic harnesses that kill vendor lock-in. Tommy explains how open source models now handle most enterprise work at a fraction of frontier lab costs, why feeding company IP to OpenAI and Anthropic is a fiduciary risk, the GPU compute squeeze, trusted execution environments, and why Big AI lobbying against open source is disingenuous.

Jordi Visser joins Marty Bent to break down why AI agents are about to collide with Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenization. Visser explains why crypto's guardrails are mispriced at zero, why tokenization could unlock $900 trillion in trapped assets, and why humans, not compute, are the real bottleneck to AI adoption. The conversation covers Fed policy, corporate debt panic, circular financing, energy constraints, and why Bitcoin remains the ultimate long-term store of value in an agentic economy.

Gary Brode joins Marty Bent to break down his month in El Salvador and the new white paper making the case that Bitcoin is officially a currency. They dig into Nayib Bukele's controversial rule, why the Federal Reserve no longer controls long-term interest rates, and why government overspending — not central bank policy — is driving persistent inflation. Brode also explains his shift from OpenAI to Anthropic, his bet on Intel and AMD as AI moves from training to inference, and why uranium and energy assets round out his portfolio alongside Bitcoin, gold, and silver.

Sam Lyman of the Bitcoin Policy Institute joins Marty Bent to break down the collapse of the CLARITY Act, the stablecoin fight dividing community banks and Wall Street, and new bank charters reshaping crypto regulation. Lyman details his investigation into Chinese-funded propaganda campaigns — linked to financier Neville Singham — driving opposition to AI data centers, and unveils "data center dividends," a plan modeled on the Alaska Permanent Fund to pay rural households thousands per year. The conversation also tackles effective altruism, AI doomerism, the Anthropic-OpenAI duopoly, open source AI, and the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill ARMA.

Nicolas Hulscher returns to unpack Pennsylvania's fabricated measles deaths, a federal RICO lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics, and new CDC WONDER data showing over 150,000 excess cancer deaths since mRNA vaccine rollout. Hulscher breaks down 35 mechanisms linking mRNA technology to turbo cancer, the decades-long suppression of antiparasitic cancer treatments, and why ivermectin remains safer than Tylenol. The conversation closes on magnesium L-threonate research showing measurable cognitive gains in just six weeks. A hard look at vaccine safety data, medical censorship, and public health accountability.
