Crude oil prices are looking towards $70 for the first time since July of last year. Brian Kessens addresses the current risk premium from U.S./Iran tensions even as it is not expected to close the Strait of Hormuz. “We would expect prices to move materially higher” if a deal is not reached but thinks they can soften if there is a resolution. He sees $60 as a potential bottom and $100 per barrel in a worse-case scenario. Brian comments on production levels for both oil and natural gas; the former he sees relatively flat while the latter increases.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Oil reached a fresh yearly high as US-Iran tensions intensified, with Washington boosting military presence while leaving room for negotiations. Markets rallied after Trump suggested a 10–15 day window for a deal, though speculative positioning remains measured, with strong demand for high-strike call options signaling limited expectations of a major price surge. Meanwhile, European energy markets have also strengthened, with Summer 2026 gas and baseload power prices rising, partly driven by movements in emissions allowances.

The hard case I need for my witness tanfoglio to fit is bigger than I want for my checked bag. There is a fair deal on a shield plus at a local pawn shop and i was thinking it would be good for when I travel for work. What thoughts do you have or am I just wasting money? I do have to travel to Houston, Memphis, and New Orleans quite a bit and would like to know of what options you might carry for this application. Also, is carrying a big bore revolver into meth country (44 spc/mag or 45 Long colt) better than a typical 9mm micro double stack or is this just boomer lore? Thanks for the great show! Duke Question from Matt A from FL Matt A Recently I attended a concert and had to go through a metal detector and scanner. It got me thinking about large crowd events and what if there was an active shooter situation and here I am unarmed with my family and unable to protect them. So, reference gun free zones or large crowd events; what is the crews thoughts about going to large crowd events/places that prohibit firearms or carrying in areas that do not have metal detectors or scanners and are considered gun free zones or do you just avoid these places all together? In listening I believe Jermey is the only one with small children. So, do you not go places like amusement parks or places that would have metal detectors or scanners or schools events? Thanks for the insight, Love the show!! Question from LagDemon from MN From LagDemon I want to get a mp5k, I'm leaning towards the ptr 9rs. is there a difference in recoil from the reciver sizes because the mp5k has a shorter reciver than the reverse stretch version? both have the same 4-5″ barrel Question from Zach from CA Listening to double tap 444. Nick brought up doing something similar to Roadkill but for guns. This is a great idea for the dangerous freedom YouTube channel. Because some of you have FFLs, could you not buy firearms across state lines? Fly or drive some where with a set budget in mind. Purchase your firearm(used or maybe from agents?), accessories, whatever kit you may need, tools, etc. and compete in local events. Would be awesome to see. Maybe same premise but with loner firearms and agency members if way out of budget. Just a thought, thanks Zach Question from Anonymous Coward from NC Question for the cast from talk number two text You were talking about suppressor cages on a previous episode and about how you could use a hub mount to potentially mount a suppressor cage what if it was like a free float Darryl free hand guard and attached to the hub mount just the way that a free hand, guard attaches barrel nut. We know that most cans have a specific size. Yes some smaller some larger, but it's gonna be somewhat universal in the shit in the diameter . What if you had the hub mount have a portion of it that could lock on the cage for the suppressor talk amongst yourselves talk to text sucks while driving #WLS. Question from Jeff from NH Hi, this is Jeff from NH. Is a red dot on top of an LPVO too tall? Putting a dot at a 45 degree is not an option as im not a boomer fudd. Personally i think top dots are the way but some others say it practically unusable.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW!   Industrial data is beginning to re-accelerate, and energy markets are taking notice.   In this ITPM Flash, Philip Klien examines the early signs of a potential offshore supercycle. The ISM Manufacturing index has moved back into expansion, with new orders leading the move higher — a signal that industrial demand may be turning. Crude has already strengthened year to date, but the more important shift may be happening in offshore supply.   Ultra-deepwater drillships are expensive, time-consuming to build, and new capacity is limited. As day rates rise through key thresholds, operating leverage increases sharply. At the same time, Transocean's all-stock acquisition of Valaris tightens industry supply further while improving balance sheet quality.   This episode breaks down the macro inflection, the structural supply constraints, and why consolidation may amplify pricing power — alongside the execution and regulatory risks traders need to consider.   If industrial momentum holds, offshore could move from recovery to repricing and $RIG is the leveraged play.

What a day on the Energy News Beat News Desk!In this Energy News Beat Stand-Up, we had a wild day on the News Desk!

Ukraine War & Russia-U.S. Economic Relations** Stu Turley discusses a Bloomberg report about a Russian memo proposing a return to U.S. dollar-based trade as part of a potential broader economic partnership with the Trump administration.

U.S. Energy Engagement with Venezuela**Secretary of Energy Chris Wright made a high-level visit to Venezuela—the most significant U.S. energy-focused trip to the country in nearly three decades.

Double Tap - Ep 448 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Primary Arms Night Fision (Code: WLSISLIFE) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Second Call Defense Mitchell Defense (Code: WLS10) Swampfox Optics Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 New Public notes page. DEAR WLS Question from Dependable Don Hey bob what's it going to take to get a couple Gideon optics in ace vr….. I know your listening make it happen and the fans will try to stop Aaron from doing a over the pants handy Question from Duke of Crude from Texas Duke of Crude: Why is 28 gauge becoming more popular than 16 gauge? I ve been dabbling into shotguns recently and have noticed a large amount of 28 gauge availability even at places like Walmart. Notes: Savage is now Jar Jar binks with his stupid ass avatars he uses on the show to match some of the stupid ass comments he says. Also this being written in January, will Aaron go through more jobs, relationships, or vehicles in 2026? Question from Anonymous Coward from Florida Hi. Could y'all explain the legal process of building an sbr at home? I asked a local shop about doing the paperwork through them just to make it simple and their $200 fee, while probably reasonable, kind of put a damper on my excitement for free tax stamps. I know I need to get fingerprints and pictures done and engrave my address on the gun. What are my best options for accomplishing those things myself? Question from Anonymous Coward from Nebraska Dear wls. I have a bolt action 6.5 creedmoor pistol if I SBR it and for whatever reason want to unsbr it what would I have to do? Question from Anonymous Coward from NC Question for the cast from RealDeal Episode 644 got me thinking about printing suppressors. What if a company sold you a mounting device, either direct thread or QD, that is made of a material that can handle the heat. Then that company will sell along with it a STL file that allows you a certain number of prints or unlimited prints of the actual baffles/can. It would thread onto the mount that is on your gun and you could print an unlimited number of replacement “cans”. Just a thought that popped in. Also the only serialized part would be the mount. So you can just throw away the printed portion and slap on a new one. Let me know your thoughts. #textwhiledriving #agency171 #wls Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from CT From Jaqin Ta'Sox: Question: Can you choose the order that the episodes are loaded into podcasts or is my app screwing with me?

Understandings of Black-Jewish relations have been notable for the near consensus among scholars that the Yiddish press repeatedly condemned discrimination and prejudice against African Americans, and highlighted the similarities between the situation of Jews in Eastern Europe and Blacks in America. This book argues that this view covers just a sliver of the varied representations of Black women and men. East European Jewish culture during the immigration era was not uniformly supportive of Black Americans as those interpretations suggest.Crude Creatures draws on a mixture of previously unexplored Yiddish press, theatre, and literature from Eastern Europe and the United States through 1929 to examine how Black Africans and African Americans were depicted. It charts a significant gap between the sincere condemnation of lynching, violence against Black Americans, and racial segregation on the one hand, and the ways in which Jewish authors, newspapers, playwrights, actors, and theater managers actually represented Black people on the other. While most East European Jews would not have seen a Black person before their arrival in America, they had already acquired preconceived imagery of Black people through rabbinic exegesis, pious advice, travel narratives (either original or adapted from other languages), folklore, scientific explorations, pulp literature, press reports, political rhetoric, and educational materials. Thus, Yiddish writers commonly described Black people as cannibals, oversexed, prone to violence, childlike, or just happy-go-lucky people.Crude Creatures provides a critical revision, correcting the accepted rosy narrative of Black women and men's portrayals in Yiddish culture, and highlighting what we can learn from these representations about how immigrant groups integrated their own cultures into American racial hierarchy and vocabulary.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

On January 3, U.S. forces captured Venezuela's president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, and flew them to New York to stand trial for drug trafficking and narco-terrorisim. At the same time, President Trump has not been shy about stating his other motivation for intervening in the country: Back in December, he said, “We had a lot of oil there. As you know they threw our companies out, and we want it back." So what are the geopolitical ramifications of these actions?  And in a world increasingly powered by renewable energy, could fossil-fueled conflicts become a thing of the past?  Episode Guests:  Luisa Palacios, Senior Research Scholar, Center on Global Energy Policy, Columbia University  Amy Myers Jaffe, Director, Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, NYU  Bill McKibben, Founder, Third Act and 350.org For show notes, transcript, and related links, visit ⁠⁠climateone.org/podcasts⁠⁠.

Prince Andrew has long carried a reputation among former palace staff as arrogant, dismissive, and routinely rude, a pattern that multiple aides and insiders have described as ingrained rather than episodic. Former staff have said Andrew treated employees as beneath him, snapping over minor issues, refusing basic courtesies, and creating an atmosphere where deference was demanded rather than earned. Accounts describe tantrum-like behavior over uniforms, room arrangements, travel logistics, and perceived slights, with staff expected to absorb the abuse because of his status. This was not the occasional bad day attributed to stress; it was a consistent management style rooted in entitlement. Andrew reportedly expected instant compliance and bristled when protocol did not bend to his preferences, reinforcing a culture where staff learned to placate rather than challenge him. That behavior was quietly tolerated for years because confronting a senior royal carried professional risk. In practice, his rudeness became normalized as “just how he is,” a phrase that often serves as camouflage for sustained mistreatment.What makes these accounts more damning is how neatly they align with Andrew's broader public conduct once scrutiny intensified. The same arrogance former staff described privately became visible to the public during his disastrous interviews and defiant posture in the Epstein scandal. Insiders have suggested that his inability to grasp how he was perceived stemmed from decades of insulation from consequences, where staff absorbed the fallout and senior figures smoothed things over. The Palace's failure to address his behavior reinforced the idea that Andrew was untouchable, free to belittle subordinates without repercussion. Even as other royals faced internal reforms around workplace culture, Andrew's reputation followed him largely unchecked. These staff accounts are not petty grievances; they are indicators of a deeper problem within royal hierarchy, where power protects bad behavior until it becomes impossible to ignore. By the time Andrew's conduct was scrutinized publicly, the damage had already been done quietly behind palace walls for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

This episode of This Week in Futures Options (TWIFO) captures a market in transition. As we move through January 2026, the "All-In" equity trade is facing a rotation, silver is behaving like a high-octane meme stock, and even the most obscure products like Rough Rice are seeing double-digit vol spikes. Whether you are hedging a portfolio against an earnings-season sell-off or looking to harvest high premiums in the metals, this episode provides the professional analysis you need to separate the wheat from the Lean Hogs. Episode Highlights The Movers & Shakers: A Tale of Two Tapes The Jedi (Light Side) are winning this week, but the Sith (Dark Side) struck the hardest blows in percentage terms. The Dark Side: Natural Gas plummeted 23.9%, Bitcoin dropped 6.3%, and the Russell 2000 took a breather after a massive YTD run. The Light Side: Silver stole the show, rallying over 20% on the week. WTI Crude and Brent both surged ~10%, while Palladium saw a double-digit rebound. Equities: The Great Rotation of 2026 Uncle Mike Tosaw reveals a major strategic shift, moving away from Large Caps and into Mid-Caps and Small Caps. Large Cap Fatigue: The S&P 500 is up 72% over three years, while Mid-Caps are up only 33%. Is the gap finally closing? Zero-Day Obsession: Despite the 0DTE craze, the "Big Dog" trade this week was the 6,600 Puts in the E-mini S&P, expiring in 22 days—a massive hedge against upcoming tech earnings. Energy: Crude is Back on the Menu WTI Crude hit a rare 1-million contract week. The Conflict Trade: With Middle East tensions rising, traders are aggressive in the March 70 and 75 calls, betting on an $80 handle by summer. Volatility Alert: Crude vol in March is currently sitting at 56.7, up nearly 14 points on the week. Metals: Silver's "Meme Stock" Era Silver is up over 400% in three years, leading Uncle Mike to label it the new meme stock of the commodities world. Historic Volatility: Silver vol is currently at a staggering 107.2. The Upside Play: Massive flow in the March 120 calls (only 7 handles away!) as traders chase the vertical spike. The Curveball: Rough Rice? In a TWIFO first, the panel explores the esoteric world of Rough Rice options. Market Dynamics: Despite low liquidity, Rough Rice saw a 4.6% move this week with a metal-like skew where calls are catching a heavy bid. The All-Star Panel Mark Longo: Founder, Options Insider Media Group "Uncle" Mike Tosaw: Wealth Manager, St. Charles Wealth Management
