Mel Mattison joins TFTC for a raw quarterly update covering his public battle with alcohol addiction and the escalating US-Iran conflict. They break down the failed military strategy in the Middle East, risks of nuclear escalation between Israel and Iran, and the Israel lobby's influence on US foreign policy. The conversation shifts to market impacts including surging oil prices, stagflation risks, private credit contagion, and why Bitcoin and gold could benefit from inevitable central bank liquidity injections. Essential listening for investors tracking geopolitical risk and macroeconomic instability.
