Topic: Asher Edelman

Investor Asher Edelman explains the "Plunge Protection Team," a group created under the Reagan administration to stabilize markets during crashes. Edelman suggests the team intervened the night of Trump's election to reverse a 600-point futures drop. The hosts discuss how this group, which includes the Fed and Treasury, operates without public records or audits.

The discussion on market manipulation continues with an explanation of "Dark Pools." These private exchanges allow large institutional trades to occur away from public view, affecting stock prices without immediate transparency. The hosts argue that these systems, combined with the Plunge Protection Team, create an uneven playing field for average investors.
