The Money Wise guys are back with another episode, and they kick off the show with a rapid-fire recap of last week's market moves. Markets were relatively calm this past week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down just 29 points (0.1%), the S&P 500 up 37 points (0.6%), and the NASDAQ gaining 310 points (1.5%). Year to date, the Dow is up 4.2%, the S&P 500 has climbed 7.1%, and the NASDAQ is up 8.2%. Despite hitting a new all-time high on Thursday, the S&P 500 continues to move in a sideways “cha-cha” pattern amid ongoing tariff uncertainty and mixed earnings results. President Trump's tariff deadlines and recurring comments about Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell kept investors on edge, though markets appear increasingly numb to the steady flow of trade-related headlines. The Money Wise guys note that while strong earnings reports emerged this week, they didn't excite Wall Street as much as expected, perhaps due to high second-quarter gains setting an elevated bar for performance. Looking ahead, the last week of July could bring renewed volatility with earnings from key “Magnificent 7” tech stocks and the looming August 1 tariff deadline. Wall Street's Uneasy Summer Wall Street is heading into an uneasy summer, with markets caught between optimism and uncertainty. Strong second-quarter gains have set high expectations for corporate earnings, yet investors seem hesitant to push stocks much higher amid a constant drumbeat of tariff threats and shifting Federal Reserve signals. Even as the S&P 500 hit a new all-time high this week, trading has been marked by a sideways, stop-and-go pattern. With key tech earnings on deck and an August 1 tariff deadline looming, the coming weeks could determine whether the summer calm gives way to renewed volatility, or sets the stage for the next leg of the rally. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys give listenters a peek into what Wall Street Won't Tell You. You don't want to miss the details! Tune in for the full discussion on your favorite podcast provider or at davidsoncap.com, where you can also learn more about the Money Wise guys or take advantage of a portfolio review and analysis with Davidson Capital Management.

The Money Wise guys kick off this week's show with a review of last week's numbers from Wall Street before diving into a discussion on current political tensions.Markets rallied hard this past week, capping off a strong June with gains across the board. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1,612 points, or 3.8%. The S&P 500 climbed 205 points, a 3.4% jump, and the NASDAQ led the charge, adding 826 points for a 4.2% gain. Year-to-date, the Dow is now up 3%, the S&P 500 is up 5%, and the NASDAQ is also up 5%. This strong week was fueled by investor optimism that several lingering concerns may be moving toward resolution. The team discuss the market's reaction to easing geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, with the U.S. stepping in to de-escalate the situation.  Despite some market jitters from new tariff-related headlines, including more trade drama involving China and Canada, the overall tone remained bullish. Comments from Fed officials and Chair Jerome Powell leaned more dovish than expected, suggesting that interest rate cuts could happen sooner than previously thought. A Market Rally on Fed Hints Markets surged this week in part due to dovish signals from the Federal Reserve. Comments from Fed Governors, including Christopher Waller, suggested a growing openness to interest rate cuts, potentially sooner than previously expected. Fed Chair Jerome Powell reinforced this tone during his testimony before Congress, emphasizing that the Fed is willing to act quickly if economic data warrants it. These remarks fueled optimism among investors who have been eagerly awaiting clarity on monetary policy. The possibility of rate relief sparked a strong rally, with major indexes posting some of their biggest weekly gains of the year.

Am Dienstagmorgen notierten die Aktienfutures deutlich im Plus, während die Ölpreise stark fielen. Anleger setzen darauf, dass der fragil wirkende Waffenstillstand zwischen Israel und dem Iran Bestand haben könnte. Die Futures auf den Dow Jones Industrial Average stiegen um 284 Punkte beziehungsweise 0,6 Prozent, der S&P 500 legte um 0,7 Prozent zu, und die Nasdaq-100-Futures gewannen 1,1 Prozent. Gleichzeitig gaben die Ölpreise den zweiten Tag in Folge kräftig nach. Sowohl US-Rohöl (WTI) als auch Brent-Rohöl fielen um mehr als vier Prozent, nachdem sie am Vortag noch zwischenzeitlich den höchsten Stand seit Januar erreicht hatten. In der Spitze hatte der US-Ölpreis am Montag über sieben Prozent verloren. Für Entspannung sorgte eine Reihe öffentlicher Äußerungen von Donald Trump. Bereits in der Nacht auf Dienstag schrieb er auf der Plattform Truth Social: „Der Waffenstillstand ist jetzt in Kraft. Bitte verletzen Sie ihn nicht!“ Später bekräftigte er, dass Israel den Iran nicht angreifen werde, und erklärte: „Alle Flugzeuge werden umkehren und gleichzeitig dem Iran freundlich zuwinken. Niemand wird verletzt, der Waffenstillstand ist in Kraft.“ Händler von JPMorgan erklärten, dass sich die Märkte nach Abklingen des geopolitischen Risikos wieder auf fundamentale Themen wie Konjunkturdaten, Unternehmensgewinne und das Auslaufen des Zollmoratoriums konzentrieren. Zwar bleibt die Lage angespannt – Israel wirft dem Iran vor, den Waffenstillstand verletzt zu haben, während Teheran erklärt, man halte weiterhin „die Hand am Abzug“. Auch Trump räumte ein, dass beide Seiten bereits gegen die Vereinbarung verstoßen hätten. Die Kursgewinne bei den Futures geben der Wall Street die Möglichkeit, die positive Tendenz vom Montag fortzusetzen. Bereits zum Wochenauftakt hatten die Märkte Rückenwind durch die Meldung erhalten, dass Katars Luftabwehr einen iranischen Vergeltungsschlag auf einen US-Militärstützpunkt abgefangen habe. Unterstützt wurde die Stimmung zudem durch den Rückgang der Ölpreise, nachdem WTI über Nacht ein neues Jahreshoch markiert hatte, dann aber stark fiel. Am Dienstag richtet sich der Blick der Anleger auch auf US-Notenbankchef Jerome Powell. Er wird vor dem Finanzausschuss des Repräsentantenhauses den halbjährlichen geldpolitischen Bericht der Fed vorstellen. Am Mittwoch folgt eine Anhörung vor dem Bankenausschuss des Senats. Powells Auftritt kommt zu einem sensiblen Zeitpunkt: Er steht unter politischem Druck, die Zinsen zu senken, und zuletzt äußerten sich zwei Fed-Mitglieder dahingehend, dass eine Lockerung bereits im Juli denkbar wäre.

The LOVE OF MONEY is said to be the root of all evil, but money itself, is a good like any other and when one organization has the sole authority to control it, we generally call that a Monopoly. I though monopolies were supposed to be a bad thing. We're told that when government operates a monopoly, it's for the greater good, but is it? The value of the DJIA in terms of gold was about 40 oz in the year 2000, today it's less than 20 oz. "Peak Prosperity" was in 2000, that's a fact. But what does all this mean for the future?

This Flashback Friday is from episode 304 published last Mar 6, 2013. Jason talks with investment counselor, Sara, about investor psychology, overcoming obstacles and getting out of our own way.  The smoke-and-mirrors propaganda perpetuated by mainstream media (lamestream media as Sarah Palin says) in reporting the new high in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA).   They almost always fail to distinguish between nominal dollars and real dollars.  Jason illustrates how investors have actually lost money in inflation adjusted dollars and how the Dow has to increase a lot more before investors break even based on the two peaks.  This lie is even worse when one considers how inflation is underreported in the consumer price index (CPI and CPI-U) due to weighting, substitution and hedonics (the hedonic index).  Another misrepresentation is the 'core rate' or 'core inflation' which strips out food and energy because they're too volatile.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Steve Rick, chief economist at TruStage, says that he has lowered his forecast for economic growth to 0.5 percent, while raising his forecast for inflation to 3.5 percent; that combination means stagflation, and it's starting to happen now and could turn into recession if the growth slowdown is worse than expected. Rick notes that "No one wins trade wars" and notes that if the current situation plays out into one, that trade problems triggering huge downturns would seem to be a classic 100-year event. While he says the damage can be averted if economic policy changes are softened or mitigated, Rick says he worries that the impacts of current events could last as long or longer than the economic impacts of Covid. Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices, discusses the unprecedented action in the Dow Jones Industrial Average on April 17, when United Healthcare dropped 22 percent and, by itself, caused a big drop in the benchmark. He analyzes what that means for the Dow as a benchmark, but also talks index construction — and how investors should consider benchmarks — in light of the rapid growth of the Mag 7 stocks relative to the rest of the market. Plus Chuck answers a listener's question about how to sell some gold coins they received as an inheritance.

It was our privilege today to welcome the Honorable Jason Kenney, former Premier of Alberta, for a timely and insightful discussion on Canada's upcoming federal election (April 28). Jason holds 25 years of public service at both the federal and provincial level with wide-ranging policy and leadership experience. He served as the 18th Premier of Alberta from 2019 to 2022 and now serves as a Senior Advisor at Bennett Jones, in addition to holding several board positions. Prior to his time as Premier, Jason held several key federal cabinet roles, including Minister for Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, Minister of Employment and Social Development, Minister of National Defense, and Chair of the Cabinet Operations Committee. He was first elected a Member of Parliament in 1997 and was re-elected six times. We were thrilled to host Jason and learn from his unique perspectives on what the election means for energy, trade, and the U.S.-Canada relationship. In our conversation, Jason walked us through Canada's evolving political landscape and the two leading candidates: Pierre Poilievre of the Conservative Party and Mark Carney of the Liberal Party. He highlights key issues shaping the election including Trudeau's long tenure and declining popularity, Canada's weak per capita GDP growth, an overwhelmed immigration system, a doubling of housing costs, and issues of rising addiction and crime. Jason explains how Poilievre maintained a commanding 18-month lead in the polls until Trump's aggressive trade rhetoric reignited deep-rooted anxieties about Canadian sovereignty, prompting Trudeau's exit and opening the door for Carney to reframe the election around “Who can stand up to Trump?” while Poilievre continues to focus on affordability and change. We explore the role of minor parties in Canada's Parliamentary system, the unprecedented focus on energy and climate in Sunday's federal debate, expected policy outcomes depending on who wins, and the looming 2026 USMCA renegotiation. Jason shares his perspective on Canada's opportunity to grow LNG exports, the barriers posed by the Liberal government's zero-gas electricity rule and industrial carbon tax, and the potential for Alberta to become a hub for large-scale, gas-powered data centers given its cold climate and abundant stranded gas. We discuss Canadian electricity exports to the U.S., broader infrastructure challenges tied to electrification and economic growth, Canada's continued reliance on U.S. exports, and the growing sense that Canada's “holiday from history” is over. We also reflect on the emotional, historic and familial ties between the U.S. and Canada, the hope for reconciliation and renewed cooperation, and much more. It was a fascinating discussion. If you're interested in watching the energy and climate portion of Sunday night's Canadian Federal Leaders' debate, the 18-minute segment is linked here. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by highlighting President Trump's recent pressure on Fed Chairman Powell to immediately lower interest rates or risk getting fired. While global fear and uncertainty remains high, Mike noted that that it can and probably will be mitigated when Trump signs some high-profile tariff deals. In broader equity markets, the S&P Volatility Index remains pretty elevated, which was evident by the DJIA plunging by ~1,000 points on Monday and surging over 1,000 points on Tuesday! Investors are closely watching Tesla's Q1 earnings, with one analyst calling it a “Code Red” Moment, which could have broader market implications. He shared several bond, currency and equity market stats for Canada. From an energy equity reporting standpoint, Liberty Energy and Halliburton reported Q1 results, with both companies noting that E&Ps haven't decided to cut 2025 activity levels yet but are looking at a range of macroeconomic scenarios in anticipation of oil price

It's Thursday, April 10th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sharp rise in persecution of Christians in Pakistan A new report from Human Rights Focus Pakistan documented a sharp rise in victimization rates against religious minorities in Pakistan during the first three months of this year.  Religious minorities, including Christians, faced more attacks, murders, blasphemy charges, abductions, forced conversions, and forced marriages.  Jeff King, president of International Christian Concern, said, “Pakistan's latest wave of atrocities against Christians in 2025 is not an aberration — it's a grotesque culmination of centuries of state-sanctioned brutality and indifference.” As of January, at least 20 Christians have been imprisoned for their faith in the Islamic country. Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.   Barcelona, Spain looking to close 17 Evangelical churches Evangelical Focus reports that 17 Evangelical churches are facing the threat of closure in Barcelona, Spain. This comes as the local government plans urban development that will affect buildings that churches own or rent. The Evangelical Council of Catalonia warns this could leave thousands of believers without a place to worship. Guillem Correa, the executive director of the group, said, “We understand that the case affects freedom of worship, and what characterizes the exercise of this right is that people can meet in the place of worship throughout the week. Without this, there is no religious freedom and no community life.” Man guilty of targeting churches with fake bombs In the United States, a federal jury returned a guilty verdict last Thursday for a 45-year-old man convicted of targeting churches. Zimnako Salah left fake bombs at churches in Arizona and California in 2023. Authorities discovered he was also building an actual bomb. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said, “This Department of Justice has no tolerance for anyone who targets religious Americans for their faith. The perpetrator of this abhorrent hate crime against Christians will face severe punishment.” Psalm 5:4-6 says, “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.” Trump's 90-day pause on tariffs except China President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for imports from most nations yesterday.  Trump's baseline tariff of 10% remains in place. Meanwhile, much of the additional “reciprocal” tariffs are on hold as countries negotiate with the United States. CNBC carried Trump's remarks on the White House lawn to reporters. TRUMP: “Last year, China made $1 trillion off trade with the United States. That's not right. And now I've reversed it for a short period of time, but we're making now $2 billion a day. Somebody had to do it. “Charles Schwab was here a little while ago, one of the great financial people. He said he's been waiting for 40 years for somebody to do what I did over the last month, and if you didn't do it, you wouldn't have a country. It wouldn't be sustainable. “So, I'm honored to have done it. Nothing is over yet, but we have tremendous amount of spirit from other countries, including China. China wants to make a deal. They just don't know how quite to go about it. They're proud people. President Xi is a proud man. I know him very well, and they don't know quite how to go about it, but they'll figure it out. They want to make a deal. “We have many other countries, as you know. Many more than 75. They're all calling, ‘How do we do this?' They all want to make a deal. I did a 90-day pause for the people that didn't retaliate, because I told them, ‘If you retaliate, we're going to double it.'  And that's what I did with China, because they did retaliate.” Indeed, China was the one country which is not getting relief. Trump said he would raise tariffs on imports from China to 125%. TRUMP: “They will be fair deals for everybody, but they weren't fair to the United States. They were sucking us dry, and you can't do that.

President Donald Trump's posts on Truth Social triggered market volatility and raised legal concerns hours before he announced a 90-day pause on tariffs. Trump wrote, "BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well," followed by, "This is a great time to buy!!!" prompting immediate market reactions. Following Trump's posts—but before the China tariff reversal became public—the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 8%, the S&P 500 increased 9%, and the Nasdaq Composite surged 12%. Democrats are now raising questions about who profited from these market fluctuations and the legality of Trump's actions. Before addressing reporters, Trump was overheard on a microphone discussing financial gains: "Charles Schwab, he made 2.5 billion today, and he made 900 million." Sen. Chris Murphy described the situation as a potential insider trading scandal. "I have questions about the tariff announcements, who benefited and who made money, because this could be an enormous scam," Murphy said. Learn more about your ad choices.

So, the economy has been going through it over the last couple months — and especially over the last week in particular. That's a plain fact. But it's more than… The post Here We Go Again: Marketing in Another Bizarre Economy (Thinks Out Loud 456) appeared first on Tim Peter & Associates.

(AURN News) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a 90-day pause on tariffs, softening his aggressive trade stance after markets plunged. In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump said he was still raising tariffs on Chinese imports and also authorizing a temporary pause and a reduced 10% reciprocal tariff on other countries. “Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World's Markets,” Trump wrote, “I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately.”  Trump also said he authorized a 90-day pause on tariffs and temporarily lowered the rate to 10 percent after hearing from more than 75 countries and consulting with U.S. agencies. Trump added that the countries had “not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States.” The announcement followed a steep selloff, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded 2,000 points Wednesday afternoon after the pause was posted.

It's Tuesday, April 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Horrific Muslim persecution of Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa The Gatestone Institute's International Policy Center has released its report on the persecution of Christians in Africa.   The report claims that the West is ignoring the carnage playing out in Sub-Sahara Africa, and that Muslim “Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria.” The newly-installed Syrian government and the al-Qaeda-affiliated HTS terrorists, are still conducting door-to-door purges, massacring religious minorities in cruel, sadistic ways. Reliable reports indicate they have massacred 7,000 Christians and Alawites, a sect of Islam. And the death toll is still rising. Jihad is spreading in at least twelve African nations. Muslim jihadists beheaded 70 Christians in the Congo in February. Church leaders are targeted, abducted, tortured, and murdered. Christian villages have been burned down. Plus, pastors, priests and lay Christians have been abducted by the Islamist Allied Democratic Forces. More than 16.2 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven from their homes by jihadist violence and conflict. Women and girls are abducted, forced into "marriage," forced to convert to Islam, raped, and subjected to forced labor. Some are forced to act as suicide bombers or human shields at the hands of jihadis. Boko Haram and the Islamic State West African Province regularly attack, abduct, and murder Christians in Cameroon located in Central Africa. Churches have been set on fire and church leaders and seminary students kidnapped. Plus, the report claims that no Christian is safe in Burkina Faso, a country in West Africa.  Hundreds of churches there have been closed. The Muslim-run nation of Libya, in North Africa on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, countenances widespread slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking. Sharia law is strictly upheld. For a Muslim to convert to Christianity is a crime punishable by death. Any Libyan woman suspected of associating with Christians faces house arrest, sexual assault, forced marriage, or even death. Nigeria remains the worst example of Jihadist murder and mayhem. Tens of thousands of Christians have been murdered and thousands of women and girls have been abducted and subjected to sexual violence. But, do keep in mind what Jesus said in Matthew 16:18. He declared, “On this rock, I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” British Christian nurse in trouble for referring to confused man as man More outrageousness from the United Kingdom. A nurse has lost her job with the National Health Service because she was caught referring to a pedophile transgender person as a “Mister.” Nurse Jennifer Melle, age 40, was fired from her job in Carshalton, Surrey, after having to endure the patient hurling racial slurs at her. She added, “I am devastated to have been suspended. … Despite being the one placed at risk, I am the one being punished. The message I have received is clear: I am expected to tolerate racism, deny biological reality, and suppress my deeply-held Christian beliefs." Appearing on Free Speech Nation, she shared her Biblical convictions. MELLE: “I thank Jesus for giving me the courageous spirit, standing on the Word of God. According to the Word of God, Genesis 1:27 said, ‘God created a male and female.' I just stood by it. I said, ‘Well, I'm a Christian woman, and I love the Lord, and I know beyond male and female is an abomination to the Lord. And I can't do that.'” Represented by the Christian Legal Centre, Andrea Williams, its chief executive, criticized the National Health Service for allegedly focusing on trans ideology instead of protecting its staff from racial and physical abuse. U.S.-China tariff war heats up The tit-for-tat tariff war with China is heating up.   On Friday, China announced a 34% tariff on U.S. imports as an answer to President Trump's 34% reciprocal tariff. Yesterday, the U.S. president announced an additional tariff of 50% effective tomorrow, unless China backs down, reports CBS News. Aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, President Trump did not pull any punches. TRUMP: “When you look at the trade deficit that we have with certain countries, way over a billion [dollars] per country. With China, it's a trillion dollars. And we have to solve our trade deficit with China. We have a trillion dollar trade deficit with China. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year we lose with China. And unless we solve that problem, I'm not going to make a deal. “Now, I'm willing to deal with China, but they have to solve their surplus. We have a tremendous deficit problem with China. They have a surplus of at least a trillion dollars a year. And I want that solved. No other President has taken it on.” New Yorkers need “good moral character” before carrying handgun The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a New York law that requires residents to demonstrate “good moral character” before they are permitted to carry a handgun. The law requires applicants to have “the essential character, temperament and judgement necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself or others.” Stocks, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq down U.S. stocks are down over the last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 4,000 points, 11% down for the year.   And the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was down by about 2,000 points, settling around 15,570 points on Monday evening. The Nasdaq is down 19% on the year, about where it was in November 2021.  Court awards 7,000 sexual abuse victims $4 billion in Los Angeles While the state-controlled foster care system is supposed to protect children, the unaccountable system, made up of sinful men and women, has become the predator. Last week, the courts awarded a record $4 billion against the Los Angeles County's juvenile detention and foster care system. The settlement was the largest of this kind, distributed to 7,000 plaintiffs — victims of unspeakable sexual abuse. L.A. officials have issued concerns that the fine might bankrupt the county.  The rise of America's “assassination culture” The Network of Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University's Social Perception Lab have issued a report concerned with a rising “assassination culture” in the United States.  Especially troubling is the view that 31% of respondents stated it would be at least somewhat justifiable to murder Elon Musk.  And 38% said it would be at least somewhat justifiable to murder President Donald Trump. Among those who identify left of center, 48% to 55% would justify these assassinations. 22 million watched House of David finale And finally, the producers of the Amazon-released program, House of David, announced over the weekend, that the season finale had achieved #1 on Prime.

Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily blocked a district court order demanding the return of a man the Trump Administration sent to an El Salvadorian prison. The deported man was in the U.S. illegally and, according to the administration, is a member of the gang MS-13. D'Agostino points out, however, that corporate media continually has continually referred to the deportee as “a Maryland father”—as if he had been randomly selected for removal! 5:05pm- Phil Kerpen—President of American Commitment—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the 2017 Trump tax cuts which will expire at the end of the year.

Financial markets continued their upheaval today after President Trump has doubled down on his tariffs. The S&P 500 was down 0.8% in late trading, following another volatile day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 563 points, or 1.5%...while the Nasdaq composite was 0.6% lower. This comes as a growing number of Republicans are signing onto bills that would give Congress more power over tariffs. Nebraska Republican Rep. Don Bacon introduced a bill today that would give Congress the authority to approve tariffs. In the Senate, six Republicans have signed onto a companion bill led by Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Maria Cantwell. That bill has prompted a veto threat from the White House. Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson is publicly sticking by the tariff strategy Tariffs aren't the only issue dividing Congressional Republicans as the revised 2025 Republican Budget resolution is scheduled to hit the floor this week. This is the same bill that the Senate approved in the early hours of Saturday morning. At least three other Republicans have said they will oppose it on the House floor. That comes despite pressure from a Dear Colleague letter from House Republican leadership on Saturday and a private conference call on Sunday. And Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was at the White House today. It's his second visit since January. He stated that his country will eliminate the trade deficit and trade barriers with the US, and that he hopes Israel can serve as a model for other countries to do the same.

From North Texas to New York, economists are predicting doom and gloom after the far-reaching “Liberation Day” tariffs announced by President Donald Trump triggered steep declines in global markets. Friday's session capped the stock market's worst stretch since the COVID-19 crisis that began in 2020. The S&P 500 is down more than 10% since trading opened Thursday, while the Nasdaq Composite closed in bear market territory, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average flirted with correction.

It's Panic Monday on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has plunged 1,200 points, the S&P 500 is down nearly 4%, and the Nasdaq composite is deep in the red, adding to the worst financial week since COVID-19 rocked the world in 2020. The latest sell-off: blame it on President Donald Trump's new round of tariffs. He's digging in on his trade war and the global economy is reeling. Hong Kong stocks nosedived 13%, the worst day since 1997. In Europe, Germany's DAX dropped more than 10% at the bell and U.S. crude oil prices briefly dipped below $60 a barrel, the lowest since 2021. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warns the tariffs will slow down growth and fuel inflation. Goldman Sachs says the fallout may already be irreversible, even if Trump backtracks. But Trump's not backing down. On Truth Social, he called tariffs "medicine" and blamed past leaders for allowing this to happen. Markets are shaky, global trust is cracking, and the president is doubling down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Friday, April 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Chinese Communists sentence pastor to 5-year prison sentence The Chinese Communists have sentenced Pastor Wan Changchun of Living Stone Reformed House Church to a five-year prison sentence, reports International Christian Concern. The church is located in the city of Bengbu in the Anhui Province in Eastern China, As reported by Bitter Winter Magazine, Pastor Changchun was arrested in April 2023 for alleged fraud connected to the operation of his house church. However, Chinese communist officials often falsely use fraud allegations and charges to accuse, harass, arrest, and ultimately imprison Christians, especially pastors, to attempt to shut down their unregistered house churches. The pastor was one of the house church leaders who signed the statement against the repressive 2017 Regulation on Religious Affairs. The Chinese government has long considered religion an existential threat to the state's authority. Despite the unjust punishment, Pastor Changchun has echoed the words of Peter who said in Acts 5:29, “We must obey God rather than men.” Democrat Sen. Cory Booker's record-breaking speech championed the Left Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey officially broke the record previously held by the late Republican Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina by delivering the longest continuous floor speech in Senate history, reports The Epoch Times. He began his speech at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, March 31st.   Here are some highlights. BOOKER: “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able.” The Senator talked about how liberals, who have believed the lies of the mainstream media, are quaking in their boots about Trump's re-election. BOOKER: “They're writing me letters with words like ‘fear' and ‘terror.' They're talking about staying up at night and not being able to sleep because they don't have a president that comforts them.” Senator Booker took a page from Republican candidate Ronald Reagan, who asked the American people this question in 1979 in his race against Democratic President Jimmy Carter. REAGAN: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” After only two months into Trump's second term, following four years of Joe Biden, Booker asked this ridiculous question. BOOKER: “I ask you, ‘Are you better off than you were 72 days ago economically?' Prices are up. Stock markets down. The risk of recession is climbing. Consumer confidence is in the gutter.” Like most of the Leftists in the Democratic Party today, Booker played the class warfare card. BOOKER: “We have more billionaires than any other country. Does that speak to the greatness of our nation? No. I think the things that speak to the greatness of a nation is how do we take care of each other?” And, by taking care of each other, he was not referring to the Christian concept of helping one another out of one's own resources, but the idea of redistributing wealth of other people with tax money. BOOKER: “I've had farmers from New Jersey to Texas coming to my office about this president freezing contracts that we approved in a bipartisan manner, putting them in financial crisis. It's not right or left. It's right or wrong. It's not a partisan moment. It's an American moment. It's a moral moment.” Rejecting the premise that Americans can better determine how to spend their own heard-earned money, Booker advocated for at least maintaining the high rate of taxation. BOOKER: “You don't need more tax cuts. And we, as a society, have an obligation to each other.” As of 7:19 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 1, Booker had spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes, a minute longer than Strom Thurmond's 1957 filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Most filibusters on the Senate floor are motivated by opposition to a proposed bill. In this case, he used his time to object to the entirety of the Trump agenda. Booker finally yielded the floor at 8:05 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1st, with his time on the floor clocking in at a total of 25 hours and 5 minutes. Not only had he stood the whole time, but he never took a restroom break by fasting ahead of time and by dehydrating himself.  Throughout his Senate filibuster, he took some occasional sips of water. Dow Jones drops 1,100 points a day after Trump tariff announcement The three major U.S. stock indexes dropped on the morning of April 3 after President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs of 10 percent or higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging by 1,100 points by noon yesterday, reports The Epoch Times. Aside from the Dow Jones tumbling, the S&P 500 Index dropped by 3.5 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite slid by more than 4.7 percent at about 9:35 a.m. EST. However, advocates of the Trump tariffs believe the economic pain will be momentary, as he uses them as leverage to achieve fair trade long-term. Trump's ban on trans troops halted A three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a request from President Donald Trump's administration to pause a lower court's decision blocking enforcement of a ban on trans-identified military service members, reports The Christian Post.    The Pentagon argued that trans-identified soldiers compromise "military readiness." By denying the administration's request, the appellate court left in place the preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, late last month. In essence, the 9th Circuit Court ruling prevented the Trump administration from removing trans-identifying service members. ‘Angel Eye Camera' lets parents of premature babies check-in And finally, 1 in every 10 women in the United States will experience the premature birth of their child. A heroic organization is helping these women keep two eyes on their baby in the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit, even if they are miles away, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Called the AngelEye System, developed by the firm of the same name, it's a camera with a remotely-accessible 24-hour feed that's mounted via a boom arm onto any of the beds or tables an infant may be placed on. It allows the parents, who may not always be able to stay with their child, to keep an eye on them whenever nerves or separation anxiety strike. Thanks to advances in medical science, premature birth is a challenge that can be reliably overcome.  Philadelphia's Lauren Walsh had to face this exact situation when her third baby, John, was born prematurely at 32 weeks, not even weighing two pounds. John required a 61-day stay in the NICU. The AngelEye Camera was a lifeline for his mom and dad who could check up on him at any point by switching the camera feed on from their phones or computers. No doubt, the presence of the AngelEye Camera lowered the parents' anxiety, making it easier to abide by the counsel of 1 Peter 5:7 which says, “Cast all your anxiety on God, because He cares for you."

We are less than 5 days away from a potential government shutdown. The House rules committee is meeting this afternoon to set up floor debate for a bill that will fund the federal government until September 30th. That bill is expected to hit the House floor tomorrow. But passage is still not a sure thing. One House Republican says he will be voting no while several others are still undecided. House Democratic leaders say they'll be sticking together to vote no. Markets continued their sell-off today, Marketwatch.com reporting that the Nasdaq recorded its worst day since 2020 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell almost 900 points amid fears of a recession. Meanwhile, President Trump says the tariffs he imposed and then adjusted on Mexico and Canada are part of his long-term strategy.  And Canada has chosen its new leader.

Is the Dow Jones Industrial Average index outdated?  All federal spending is taxation What the gov't doesn't take in from tax revenue, it takes via inflation The only way to stop inflation is to lower gov't spending That's what DOGE is doing Low inflation = freedom and prosperity for Americans https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1891414886443319769 Top Auto CEO Says He May Pull Production Out of Mexico If Trump Follows Through on Tariffs The CEO of Nissan has said he may be forced to move production out of Mexico if Donald Trump imposes tariffs on exports. The head of the Japanese automaker made the comments during a press conference on Friday. “From Mexico to the U.S., we are exporting a significant number of cars this fiscal year,” Uchida said, according to Reuters. ”320,000 units are exported from Mexico to the U.S., and if the high tariffs are imposed, we need to be ready for this,” he continued. ”Maybe we can transfer the production of these models elsewhere if this were the decision, we will think how we can make it a reality while monitoring the situation.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com A 1974 federal law forces the President to avoid efficiency and cost savings Average Americans can be forgiven for not understanding how Joe Biden was able to “forgive” student debt and stop Trump's Border Wall construction without pushback from the media, Congress, or the courts, while Trump's efforts to make government more efficient are being blocked at every turn.  The Impoundment and Control Act of 1974 was passed at the height of the Watergate debacle and was a calculated move by Congress to stop Nixon's so-called Imperial Presidency. Understood in its most basic terms, Congress says that if it voted to spend money on something, the president may not change that amount, even if he can achieve the exact same outcome by spending less money. To put it bluntly, the Act says that the president is not allowed to save the country money. As a hypothetical example, assume that Congress has budgeted $1 billion to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The President, however, finds a way to re-construct the bridge to the exact specifications laid out by Congress for $500 million, saving half the cost. Under the Act's explicit terms, the president would be barred from this cost-saving approach. He must spend all $1 billion. If this has you scratching your head—well, welcome to the club.
