Ep. 156: Are Fed Rate Hikes Inflationary? Pushing Back on Luke Gromen
Murphy dissects the recent commentary from analyst Luke Gromen. Murphy argues that Luke was inconsistent, in that his arguments about interest expense (with higher rates) would mean Fed rate cuts would be Deflationary, and yet Luke argued they weren't. Murphy thinks we should distinguish fiscal from monetary policy at a conceptual level, even though in practice they can be intertwined.

Ep. 155: Kevin Warsh Plays the Sphinx in Latest Press Conference
Murphy analyzes several clips from the Q&A session of the new Fed chair's latest press conference, arguing that Warsh was refusing to give any assistance to the public on what to expect from the Fed in the future. Bob then explains why the hike surprised so many analysts: with ~$32 trillion in debt held by the public, fiscal dominance theory said the Fed couldn't hike, and why this move may have been symbolic to prove Fed independence from political pressure.

Ep. 154: AI Threats: Real vs. Phony, with Perry Metzger
Perry Metzger returns to the podcast, this time to bring a dose of cynicism to the recent warnings coming from Anthropic employees, including CEO Dario Amodei. Metzger agrees that evil humans can use new technology in nefarious ways, but argues that the good guys likewise need to develop AI tools for defensive purposes.
