David Deming, Pegasus Equestrian Director, joins the Millegan Brothers to discuss why the market’s at all-time highs despite war drums in Iran, sticky tariffs, and the Fed doing literally nothing. We unpack why interest rates aren’t going down anytime soon, how Turkey accidentally became a macroeconomics horror story, and whether oil at $130 is still just a vibe check away.
Also on deck: Google might be the cheapest trillion-dollar company in the Mag7, Waymo is quietly eating Tesla’s RoboTaxi lunch, and Quinn dismantles the Rothschild-Waterloo myth like it’s a bad Reddit conspiracy. Plus: Garfield’s billion-dollar lasagna empire and the USDA once paying farmers to burn cotton on purpose. Markets are weird — but at least the Baja Blast was cold.
