About this episode
In this episode, Rick boards the F-bomb train to lead us into the unsettling world of Howard Lutnick, the billionaire CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and Donald Trump's Secretary of Commerce - and the most hated man on Wall Street (and that's a high bar). Lutnick's MAGA superpower is his willingness to destroy the global economy and ensure abject financial misery for most Americans in exchange for kudos from his favorite special guy. Kidding aside, there is almost no cleaner parallel to the fealty authoritarian regimes require than Howard Lutnick. The damage his loyalty-over-competence approach threatens the global order, American power, and our democratic institutions. That means it also threatens your job, your financial well-being, and the future security of your family. As Rick says, Lutnick is building a temple of stupid on top of a mountain of burning tires.
