Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people. Milkshakes Markets Madness | Brent Johnson Brent Johnson The Dollar Milkshake Theory, an idea created by Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital to explain the role of the U.S. Dollar in the global monetary system, is a reference to the infamous milkshake scene in the movie “There Will Be Blood”. The goal of the show is to help simplify complex economic ideas, like the Dollar Milkshake Theory, and to bring some much needed perspective to the madness of financial markets, without the hype or drama.
