False Flag Breakdown & More w/ James Li

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/10/05

Send us Fan Mail I got James Li on the stream and we covered a lot of ground. He is one of the best independent journalists working right now, 5149 on every platform, and he does it as a one man operation with no producers, no editors, and no researchers. We opened on Israel and the 9/11 overlap, the Greater Israel Project, the cyber bill that just merged the American and Israeli military intelligence apparatus, and why James thinks this is the last administration that gets to offer unconditi...

My 15 Reasons to Keep Talking About Epstein | ZFS 108

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/09/29

Send us Fan Mail Have you heard much about Epstein lately? Not really. Plenty about the war, plenty about inflation, plenty about everything else. So today I am giving you my 15 reasons why we need to keep talking about it, and I am laying every one of them out with sourcing on the corruption map. We start with the come up that makes no sense. Teaching math and physics at the elite Dalton School with no degree. Hired at Bear Stearns with no degree, worked up to limited partner, then resigned ...

Diesel ban, NEW Housing Bill Proposed, Bond Market's...

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/09/25

Send us Fan Mail Three things on the table today. The bond market that keeps threatening to crack, a brand new Senate housing bill that would put $50,000 in first time homebuyers pockets, and a proposed 90 day ban on American diesel exports that would ripple across the entire globe. We start with a Bloomberg clip where an analyst says 7% rates are historically normal and consumers just do not want to buy this market. Both statements are technically true and completely disconnected from realit...

TIPS for Buying a Home in 2027 | ZFS 106

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/09/22

Send us Fan Mail Will home prices drop in 2027? Will mortgage rates come down? Is a crash coming? I am a full time real estate agent and I am going to give you the honest answers, including some advice you will not hear from any other realtor. We start by grading our 2026 predictions. We called max 2% price compression, mortgage rates not hitting 4%, and investors buying around 30% of homes. We are sitting at about 5.9 out of 6 on those. Then we get into where we actually are right now. 96% o...

This State has a HUGE problem w/ Michael Smith | ZFS 105

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/09/19

Send us Fan Mail Delaware has a problem and it comes down to three things. Housing, jobs, and retirement. Today I break all three down and then sit with Michael Smith, Democrat candidate for Delaware State Treasurer, to ask him what he actually plans to do about it. Here is where we are. Bloomberg just named Delaware the rising number one retirement state in the country and nobody told the people who already live here. Sussex County population is up 17% since 2020, growing five times faster ...

Gas & diesel prices just SOARED, what happens now???...

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/09/18

Send us Fan Mail Gas is at $4.44 nationally, up nearly 50% since this war started in February. Diesel just hit a record $6.40, up 77 cents in the first two weeks of September alone. In California diesel is already at $8 a gallon. Sean, Joe and I break down exactly why this is happening and why I do not think it comes back down anytime soon. Here is what most coverage misses. Crude oil is not the story. Diesel is. Diesel is the single most universal tangible input in the American economy, it m...

The Buyers are GONE...What Happens Next? | ZFS 103

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/09/08

Send us Fan Mail The buyers are gone. Not just in housing, not just in cars, everywhere, across every major purchase in this country and honestly across the globe. Sean, Joe and I dig into why, and it all comes back to the same place. We start with the August jobs report. 162,000 jobs created, way above expectations, with June and July both revised upward by a combined 55,000 jobs. Sounds great, right? Except the stock market fell and bond yields went up the second the number dropped. That t...

Will Housing Ever Become Affordable? | ZFS 102

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/09/01

Send us Fan Mail Will housing ever become affordable? Sean, Joe and I dig into what it would actually take for home prices to come down, and why the answer is a lot more complicated than everyone screaming crash on TikTok wants it to be. We start with the number that should stop you cold. The qualifying income for a starter home in America right now is $103,584 a year. That is just to get your foot in the door. Then we play a clip of Trump saying he does not want housing prices to come down b...

They Are Buying Their Own Debt Now | ZFS 101

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/08/28

Send us Fan Mail Episode 101. Sean is back on the boards, healthy and happy, and we are digging into the trickery happening over at the Treasury and the impossible position the Federal Reserve has put itself in. Here is the setup. The July Treasury statement shows $334 billion came in and $766 billion went out. That is more than double. A $432 billion deficit in a single month. Scott Bessent's answer is that we will grow our way out of it, mostly through tariff revenue. So we ran the math. Ou...

5 Ways to THRIVE in a TOUGH 2027 economy | ZFS 100

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/08/22

Send us Fan Mail Episode 100. Thank you for being here for every single one. Sean is out sick so Joe is on the boards, and today I am giving you five things you can actually do to not just survive but thrive in what I believe is going to be a very tough 2027 economy. First I walk you through the setup. We just passed 40 trillion in national debt, and the interest on that debt is now over 1.1 trillion a year, more than our entire military budget. That has never happened until seven months ago....

A WARNING FLARE WENT UP.....what happens next? | ZFS 99

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/08/16

Send us Fan Mail A warning flare just went up in the currency markets and almost nobody is talking about what it actually means. The United States just bought the Japanese yen for the first time in over a decade, and I want to walk you through why that quiet little intervention is a much bigger deal than it looks. I break down the yen carry trade in plain English on the whiteboard. How investors and governments borrow cheap yen at around 1% and buy US bonds paying 4% to pocket the difference...

What's next for America? | ZFS 98

2026/08/13

Send us Fan Mail This one is different. No graphs, no headlines, no breakdown. Just me and the mic asking a question I have not been able to shake. What is next? For this country, and for me. I have spent four and a half years calling out what is broken. The banking system, the housing crisis, the corruption, the wars, the surveillance state going up on every corner. And lately I keep asking myself whether calling it out is still the work, or whether it is time to start calling people in ins...

The AI Bubble Is Being Funded With Fake Money | ZFS 97

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/08/12

Send us Fan Mail Everybody is talking about whether AI is a bubble. Almost nobody is talking about how it is actually being paid for, and that is the part that should scare you. Sean, Joe and I follow the money all the way down. I walk through the four ways the hyperscalers like Meta, Google, Oracle, and Nvidia are funding this AI buildout. First capital expenditure, which jumped from 18 billion a quarter in 2019 to 130 billion a quarter today. Then domestic corporate bonds, which exploded fr...

2026/08/04

Send us Fan Mail Is the Strait of Hormuz really open? Is the war really over? And why did 60,000 to 80,000 migrants flood a tiny Spanish territory two weeks after we quietly sent Morocco 40 million dollars? Sean, Joe and I connect the dots. We start with the Iran deal that Trump touted on Fox News, the 41st time he has declared this thing basically over. The stock market is at a new all time high, oil is finally dropping, and the Iran Oman plan to reopen the Strait would still hand Iran full...

2026/07/31

Send us Fan Mail Nobody taught us how bonds work in school, so I am going to teach you today, because the 30 year Treasury bond just hit a 19 year high and almost nobody is talking about it. I am broadcasting from the producer chair and breaking down the one signal that cannot be spun by either party. The bond market. I walk you through what a bond actually is, what a yield actually means, how the Dutch auction sets the rate, and why when these long term bond rates climb, your mortgage rate ...

2026/07/29

Send us Fan Mail We are still talking about Epstein because it still is not resolved. Sean, Joe and I pull up the corruption map again and go name by name through the people we believe should be investigated, arrested, and tried, not gallivanting through NBA finals and FIFA World Cups while the victims get doxxed. We start with the number that stopped me cold. The Rothschild name appears 12,056 times in the Epstein library. Trump's name appears 5,317 times. So why is one of those the only one...

The Epstein Cover Up Is Falling Apart | ZFS 93

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/07/24

Send us Fan Mail I did not want to make this episode. I have been trying to bring positivity into this space, but there are no good updates on the Epstein files and I owe you the truth. We have 6 million files. Only 3 million have seen the light. Todd Blanche and the DOJ just told a federal judge they will not release or unredact the rest, including at least eight email exchanges about a torture video, interviews with a woman who says she was abused by Trump as a minor, and the records tied t...

Could Housing Crash? | ZFS 92

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/07/22

Send us Fan Mail Everybody on TikTok is telling you the housing market is collapsing. 227,000 foreclosures. Homes crashing 80 to 90%. A $1.5 million house selling for $300,000. I went through the three most viral clips making these claims and I brought something none of them did. Math. Here is what is actually happening. Those 227,000 are foreclosure filings, not completed foreclosures. There is a massive difference. Back in 2010 there were 1.65 million filings and most of them never became ...

Headlines good? Reality bad? | ZFS 91

The Zach Foust Show ·

2026/07/15

Send us Fan Mail The White House posted a graph this week saying prices are falling. I need to be very clear about something. Prices are not falling. Inflation came in at 3.5% for June which means everything you buy is 3.5% more expensive than it was this time last year. That is not deflation. That is not prices coming down. That is propaganda posted at a convenient moment before the war started back up again. I walk through every major headline hitting the economy right now and tell you what...

What Made Housing so EXPENSIVE? | ZFS 90

Send us Fan Mail Before Covid I got sandwich makers into homes. Deli workers. Campus security guards. Single airmen fresh out of basic training. Sub thousand dollar mortgages every week here in Delaware. That world is completely gone and I want to walk you through exactly why. In this episode Sean, Joe and I break down the real causes of the housing crisis from the ground up. Median home prices. Rental increases since 2015. The $4 trillion the Federal Reserve printed in 2020 and where that mo...
