In this episode of the Follow the Money podcast, Jerry Robinson breaks down how politics, markets, and power are colliding in real time. Jerry begins with a look at President Trump’s recent cannabis policy pivot and the sharp rally it sparked in cannabis stocks, explaining why markets move quickly on political signals. He then turns to Venezuela, exploring the deeper geopolitical and economic forces at play, including oil, dollar power, and America’s long history of intervention in Latin America.

He explains where trends remain intact, where risks are rising, and why discipline matters more than prediction.
