Sosnoff / Ratigan - Truth or Skepticism from tastyliveOur Nation is in Turmoil... How Is It affecting The Market?The events of the last week are enough to last a year. The biggest news was the change at the top of the ticket for Democrats. Was the reason for Biden dropping out so close to the election unforeseen? Or was it done for more nefarious reasons? On this week's episode, Dylan argues Democrats subverted the will of the people by replacing Biden with Harris. Tom, on the other hand, argues it was done out of necessity. This and more on this week's episode.

As platforms and issues become more in focus, markets need to digest what the different outcomes could mean economically.

The divide in politics has never been more polarizing. Turn on any mainstream media and you'd think the end of the world is near. Yet stocks have made 36 new all-time highs this year. How does one rationalize that? Maybe the answer is that markets see something we don't. Tune into this week's episode as Tom and Dylan discuss the disconnect between politics and markets.

That was the American Dream. Is it still? Have the things we want out of life changed and with that, has the dream changed? That's fine if that's the case. The deeper question is, has the dream changed because the original dream isn't attainable? Or, has it changed because what we want has changed?
