Welcome to the debut of Nothing In Common, the show where two guys from radically different worlds—one a redneck mortgage guy from Texas, the other a globe-trotting tech futurist—find surprising common ground in global chaos.In this episode, Chris Griffith and Gary Denu dive straight into the fire: tariffs, trade wars, energy markets, AI dominance, and whether America’s still got its edge.💥 This week’s MEGA breakdown:🧨 What We Cover:Tariffs & the Shock Heard Round the WorldGary just got back from 20+ meetings in the Middle East and delivers a blunt message: the world is spooked by U.S. unpredictability. $10 trillion evaporated in market cap in days. Is this the beginning of WWIII—but economic?Mortgage Rates & Global Bond ChaosChris breaks down how tariffs ripple into U.S. mortgage rates. Spoiler: It’s not just inflation—it’s confidence, labor markets, and American manufacturing in the crosshairs.BRICS, BRIBES & BREAKUPSAs China doubles down, we ask: Will new global alliances reset the game? Is the dollar still king? Are we in Bretton Woods 2.0 without knowing it?AI, Energy, and the Race to Dominate the FutureGary’s been studying AI since 1990. Chris sees LNG and nuclear as the critical power sources for the tech race. But who’s actually building—and who’s just talking?The Redneck Reality Check“America exports ideas. When was the last time China had one that was theirs?” Chris gets fired up about freedom, fake markets, and why control kills innovation. It’s not just patriotic—it’s practical.🧠 Mic-Drop Quotes:“Defense doesn’t win wars—offense does.”“China doesn’t need to be stopped. It needs to be out-created.”“If you’re playing defense in your budget, your business, or your policy—you already lost.”“Time is the one truth humanity blasphemes daily. You either invest it or waste it.”🌍 Bottom LineThis isn’t just a policy episode—it’s a wake-up call. Tariffs aren’t just trade tools. They’re the start of a new global order. And the country that wins will be the one that creates the most, fastest, with the deepest values behind it.👥 Meet Your Hosts:Gary Denu – Public company tech founder, geopolitical investor, and AI futurist.Chris Griffith – Marine Corps vet, mortgage pro, and unapologetic Main Street philosopher.📬 Feedback?
