James discusses the current state of dollar liquidity, highlighting the complexities within the financial system but reassuring that major banks are better positioned than in 2008. However, he raises concerns about the transfer of risk to non-bank financial institutions, which now hold illiquid assets with daily liquidity, creating potential vulnerabilities. The conversation emphasizes the importance of monitoring these shifts in risk dynamics.In this clip
