Credit Suisse received a massive liquidity injection from the Swiss Central Bank, supported by a $9 billion swap line from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, investor Jason Calacanis is blamed by some for inciting the run on Silicon Valley Bank through his social media posts.

The ongoing water crisis in California's Central Valley is highlighted, where farmers are being "starved out" by the government's refusal to allocate water. Reservoirs are being emptied to protect the Delta smelt, leaving hundreds of miles of farmland and orchards to dry up. The hosts note that this man-made scarcity aligns with the goals of the "Natural Asset Class" and food simulation scripts.
