The Financial Guys: July 23, 2025
In the latest episode of The Financial Guys Podcast, hosts Mike Lomas and Glenn Wiggle deliver a no-holds-barred conversation that covers everything from Hunter Biden’s political flame-throwing to the rise of artificial intelligence and flying cars. It’s a whirlwind hour of laughter, disbelief, frustration, and insight, perfectly balancing the absurd with the profound.
Hunter Biden’s Democratic Meltdown
The show kicks off with the jaw-dropping spectacle of Hunter Biden taking aim at his father’s own party. According to Mike and Glenn, Hunter’s media appearances and aggressive language aren’t just embarrassing, they’re a symbol of a party in disarray. High-profile figures like George Clooney and David Axelrod come under fire, with the hosts mocking the multi-million-dollar consulting gigs many former staffers enjoy. Their message? Political insiders enrich themselves at the public’s expense, and average Americans are paying the price.
Government Waste and Hypocrisy
The guys lay into what they see as the corrupt financial machinery of Washington.
“Forty, fifty, sixty million dollars for consultants like Anita Dunn?” Glenn scoffs.
The two go on to question how public officials with modest salaries become millionaires within years of stepping into office. The discussion lands squarely on the hypocrisy they see in the current Democratic leadership, especially regarding wealth accumulation and government spending.
Inflation, Interest Rates, and a Frozen Housing Market
Switching gears, Mike and Glenn explore America’s economic cracks, especially in the housing market. High interest rates and inflated property values have frozen markets like Florida, with homeowners reluctant to give up ultra-low mortgages. The inflation discussion continues with skepticism over media narratives and a defense of tariffs, highlighting General Motors’ success in reshoring manufacturing jobs despite cost concerns.
EVs, AI, and Flying Cars: The Future Is Now
One of the most fascinating parts of the episode is the dive into the evolving landscape of self-driving and flying cars. Tesla, despite its inflated P/E ratios, is praised not just as a car company but as a tech and data powerhouse. Mike predicts the shift toward fully automated aerial vehicles will eliminate the need for Uber drivers, traffic controllers, and eventually, car accidents caused by human error.
They describe a layered transportation future, think highways stacked vertically in the sky, with AI driving a new revolution in safety, mobility, and productivity.
Crime, Safety, and the Squatter Crisis
The guys wrap up with a deep frustration over crime and public safety, especially in Democrat-led cities. From cashless bail to squatter protections, they argue policies are putting everyday Americans in danger. The Illinois squatter legislation, currently sitting on Governor Pritzker’s desk, gets special attention, especially since one of the bill’s co-authors has a squatter in his own neighborhood.
Their solution: Empower police, repeal harmful laws, and focus on restoring community safety as a prerequisite for economic growth.
Final Thoughts:
Whether it’s exposing political hypocrisy, championing economic liberty, or dreaming about flying cars, the episode offers a wide-ranging and opinionated glimpse into today’s America.
