Show notes
In this episode of Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell featuring Col. Douglas Macgregor, retired U.S. Army colonel, military strategist, and frequent geopolitical commentator, for a timely conversation on the heels of the Trump administration's 100-Day celebration. He is also the CEO of @OurCountryOurChoice .
In classic form, Col. Macgregor delivers bold, contrarian takes on U.S. foreign policy, global conflict and the financial future of America, and he doesn't hesitate to criticize both sides of the isle. Topics discussed include:
- His latest critique of tariffs, global trade policy, and the long-term impact of the U.S.–China trade war
- America's weakening economic and geopolitical leverage in ending military escalations
- The contrast between a "Golden Age" and the need for fiscal discipline including budget cuts and reduced sovereign interest payments
- Whether it's time to acknowledge Social Security as beyond repair and what alternatives might look like
- Tribalism in American politics
- Bitcoin ultimately replacing fiat currency "because there is no where else to go"
- The consequences of a financialized economy
- And much more!
Col. Macgregor analyzes some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation today, issues that are complex and difficult to confront. His perspective is contrarian yet strikingly bipartisan, offering a rare lens through which to examine America's future.
