  • Great without the Wealth Management money grab

    Jacob is a really good podcast host; there aren’t many geopolitics podcasts and people are interested and he knows how to serve us all content we want. But the Perch Pod got weird when he started asking people to move their money to sketchy new financial advisories. Cognitive, Bespoke, etc. He never used to advertise on the pod. Now, this rebrands every 18 months, and every time it’s some version of “I’m now Partner, Head of Geopolitics at Fly-By-Night Investment Management. Also, here’s how you... more

    One sided from an employee who doesn’t have any intel other than what she personally does. Guest was unhappy because she lost her tax paying job. The job we pay her to do. Thank goodness Trump fired her. Very shallow interview. Expected more out of Jacob.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deterrence by Punishment
Q: What is the perspective in Poland regarding the recent drone incursions?
The perspective in Poland sees the drone incursions as a major test of the country's resolve and a failing of NATO's deterrence strategy, urging a shift to a strategy of punishment.
Soft Dictatorship, Big Tariffs
Q: How do you see the U.S. military actions in Venezuela currently?
The latest strikes may reinforce historical narratives of U.S. interventionism, and they could empower coalition against the U.S. in Venezuela.
Soft Dictatorship, Big Tariffs
Q: Do you think Latin America is part of a declining American empire?
Yes, Latin America is part of a gradual decline, as the U.S. has historically viewed it as its backyard and is attempting to domesticate the region.
Pissing in the Public Pool
Q: Why does employment lag the cycle?
Companies typically slow employment or conduct layoffs only after the economy has started to slow, which leads to employment data lagging behind other economic indicators.
Our Currency, Your Problem
Q: Is it normal for Treasury officials to criticize the Fed chair?
Yes, this has been a historical norm where the Treasury acts as a mouthpiece for the executive branch to influence the Fed.
