Here's part 2 of my discussion with Andrew Torrez of Opening Arguments! This time we focus on (hopefully) wild and unlikely scenarios if Trump refuses to leave office. Find out if any of them scare the expert and always optimistic P. Andrew Torrez, Esquire!
The Gist - Trump’s Foundation Is Crumbling
On the Gist, the Beirut blast.
In the interview, we’ve got the second half of Jesse Eisenberg’s interview on his new Audible original, When You Finish Saving the World. He and Mike continue discussing the creative process and Jesse’s personal connection to the project, and the difficulty of creating things like future slang.
In the spiel, Trump’s lies are pushing voters into the arms of Democrats.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough on Stagflation, Bitcoin and the Devalued Dollar
One of the realest people in financial media joins for a conversation about where the economy really is and where it’s headed.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.
Today on the Brief:
- Robinhood doubles quarterly trading revenue
- Square did $875 billion in bitcoin revenue in Q2 - up 600% YoY
- ADP report: 167,000 jobs added in July (instead of expected 1.2 million)
Our main conversation is with Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough.
Before building Hedgeye into a “no-excuses provider of real-time investment research and a premier online financial media company,” Keith worked at hedge funds including Carlyle Blue Wave Partners hedge fund, Magnetar Capital, Falconhenge Partners and Dawson Herman Capital Management.
In this conversation, he and NLW discuss:
- Hedgeye’s “Full Cycle Investing” approach and GIP (Growth, Inflation, Policy) methodology
- How the economy was in a period of slowing growth and slowing inflation before COVID-19
- How we’ve moved into a stagflation period in response to the money printing prompted by the crisis
- Why bitcoin, gold, emerging market stocks and commodities are likely to thrive in this environment
- Why most narratives are BS
- Why the “Old Wall” media distracts rather than educates

Of all of the Medal of Honor winners, there was one recipient’s story that really stood out to me. It went beyond bravery and valor to just genuine badassery.
