down by Bad Mortgage Investments, Lehman, which has 25,000 employees, will be liquidated. The federal government loans American International Group, AIG, eighty five billion dollars. This is a different kind of market, and the Fed is asleep. The
federal government is stepping it to stabilize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two mortgage giants that have been threatened by the housing crisis. The Bank of England has pumped £75,000,000,000 more to Britain's ailing economy with a new round of quantitative easing. You
print a couple trillion dollars, and all of a sudden, people start to worry. So out of this worry, we have something called a Bitcoin. Welcome to On the Brink. I'm Matt Walsh. And I'm Nick Carter. Somehow we are back in one mic zone. How did this happen?
Well, I, started my day at 4AM and commuted to Boston from New York, and, I forgot the mic.
So I'm holding a mic and just interviewing you on our own podcast. These are I thought we I thought we were past this. But talk about a busy week for the podcast.
Yeah. So, I mean, wow. You know, is this is this one of our best runs in On the Brink history here? Best three episode runs?
So we start with Mike Lemprest last week, just explosive episode. We have talked about that. Then we have Nathan Macaulay, cofounder of Anchorage, talking about the debanking, talking about all these important developments that are happening on the regulatory front. And then today, this morning, early, sat down with Hester Peirce, who I've wanted to have on this podcast since we started it.
Yeah. And we're big fans of Hester, obviously, and we're so excited when our team reached out. And you to your credit, you got up early and did the interview at 07:30 in the AM. You know, not a lot of people do that. But, yes, we just pushed it out today.
