What a Rally We Had! This week, Dave Spano and Dr. Brian Jacobsen discuss the sudden halt of Kevin Warsh’s nomination hearing and a huge recovery in the markets. We unpack soft housing data, jittery small businesses, cautious hiring, rising input costs, and a Beige Book full of uncertainty, and if the economy feels less like a recession. Special guest, and former Navy SEAL John Choate, joins the show and things he's seen overseas. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/money-talk-6044349/episodes/money-talk-4-18-26/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/money-talk-6044349/money-talk-4-18-26.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
