Shownotes

<p>SpaceX finally went public and made Elon a paper trillionaire, but the bigger story is what it says about America's ability to mobilize industry when it counts. Marty and John draw a line from that milestone to the geopolitical chessboard—whether the new US-Iran deal sticks, how Washington is using energy dominance and dollar leverage, and why Anthropic's Fable 5 got yanked by export controls. They also dig into Dario Amodei's AI roadmap, the Social Security math speeding toward 2032, and why the bond market may force a pro-liquidity future that makes US Bitcoin dominance impossible to ignore.</p>
