### Donald Trump $250 Bill, Seniorage, and Treasury Design

- **Published:** 2026-05-31
- **Time:** 1:31:30–1:35:05

Proposed legislation in the House suggests creating a $250 bill featuring Donald Trump's image to commemorate the U.S. semiquincentennial. General Besant discussed the concept of "seniorage," where the Treasury gains an interest-free loan from currency that people keep as collectibles. Current law requires subjects on currency to be deceased, meaning the bill would likely face significant legal and Congressional hurdles.

A comparison is drawn between the current era and the early 1920s, noting parallels between the Spanish Flu and COVID-19, and the Russian Civil War and the current Ukraine conflict. The hosts suggest Kamala Harris mirrors Calvin Coolidge's background as a former lawyer and governor, potentially ushering in a new "Roaring Twenties" characterized by a hands-off government approach.

### Al Smith, William Jennings Bryan, 1924 Election History

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/805-mono-nuptials/chapter/al-smith-william-jennings-bryan-1924-election-history.md

A deep dive into the 1924 Democratic National Convention explains how the party split between urban anti-corruption figure Al Smith and religious populist William Jennings Bryan. The hosts use this history to argue that the current Republican split will not necessarily destroy the party long-term, as the Democrats won four consecutive terms just eight years after their 1924 disaster.

### Calvin Coolidge, New York Times and Mandiant

- **Published:** 2013-02-21

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/489-eat-a-baseball/chapter/calvin-coolidge-new-york-times-and-mandiant.md

A clip of a historian discussing Calvin Coolidge's success in lowering the federal budget serves as a contrast to modern fiscal policy. The hosts then critique the New York Times for its coverage of a cybersecurity report by Mandiant. They suggest the Times' relationship with Mandiant—hiring, firing, then reporting on them—resembles a marketing scam to promote cybersecurity services.

### Commercial Real Estate, Historical Parallels, 80-Year Cycle

- **Episode:** [62: The Greatest Depression](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/62-the-greatest-depression.md)
- **Published:** 2008-12-20
- **Time:** 1:32:47–1:37:49
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/62-the-greatest-depression/chapter/commercial-real-estate-historical-parallels-80-year-cycle.md

The collapse of the commercial real estate market is identified as the next major economic hurdle, with empty malls and office buildings signaling a deep systemic failure. Historical parallels are drawn between the current era and the presidencies of Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. The "80-year cycle" theory is applied to explain why major economic resets occur with predictable frequency.
