In this post–Fourth of July breakdown, Matty A and Ryan dive into a fiery mix of politics, policy, and financial strategy. From the potential September rate cuts and a sluggish real estate season to massive institutional plays and controversial political shifts, the guys don’t hold back. They unpack the good, the bad, and the ugly of Trump’s latest bill—bonus depreciation is back, tariffs are rising, and trust is getting tested. Plus, they tackle the Epstein case fallout, Elon Musk’s “American Party,” and a bold new baby investment account plan that could shape the next generation’s financial future.
