Transcript
Folks, I don't like to talk about boring shit, but sometimes boring shit is important. And when boring shit is important, I gotta make it exciting to keep myself interested. Fighter jets. Now admittedly, debt and bond market aren't the sexiest words out tier, but good, I've just put them on Dua Lipa. And now that I have your attention Bonds are puking. The bond market is now breaking. Bond market is more important than the stock market. I can't control the bond market. We haven't seen a bond market like this since the last great depression. This pyramid right back here better you look at the entire national debt. Every cup you see is $100,000,000,000. No, obviously, that man's an idiot for buying such an expensive cup, but indeed many are twisting their nuts over this so called bond market, fearing that it's signaling our nation's descent into a fiery debt fueled crisis. So let's figure out what all this baloney means.
