For the first time in weeks, Trump sounded like Trump — focused, disciplined, and deadly clear. In this episode, Tara breaks down the speech that finally connected the dots for everyday Americans: inflation + housing costs + illegal immigration + corruption — all tied together in one message. From affordability and interest rates to housing shortages, welfare incentives, crushed wages, and massive fraud, this was the explanation millions of Americans have been waiting to hear — especially those who don't live on talk radio.
President Trump will address the nation tonight, his 11 months in office have produced some extraordinary accomplishments. He will address the current issue of affordability and the bright future of the country where the best is yet to come. Stephen Moore is a celebrated economist and he is here to unpack everything happening in the U.S. economy. As recent polls show that people are still not happy about the economy, the numbers are telling a different story. GDP has seen a 4% growth, there are 7 million new job openings and oil and gas production is at an all-time high. After all, around 90% of the price increases were created under Biden, including an inflation rate that hit 9%. President Trump's tariffs and the subsequent deals he made thereafter are working. The U.S. has brought in hundreds of billions to trillions in revenue and as of right now the only developed nation with a growing and booming economy. President Trump again suggested abolishing income tax as tariff revenue slices our deficit in half. President Trump is a visionary and a businessman and is showing the world right now how its done. His next decision will be who to replace Jerome Powell with as Chair of the Federal Reserve. The choice is between Kevin Hassett and Kevin Warsh, both excellent choices to further the Trump agenda and bring us into the Golden Age.

The mainstream financial media buried the lede in its reporting on last week's Fed meeting. They reported on the rate cut. They sliced and diced the dot plots. They analyzed every syllable coming out of Jerome Powell's mouth. But they barely mentioned the biggest story - the Fed just restarted quantitative easing (QE). In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey covers the stuff the mainstream reporters left out. He explains what the Fed plans to do, why it is QE no matter what they call it, and how it will impact normal people. Hint: it means more inflation.
Republican voters in red states are in a full blown "revolt" against Donald Trump as they continue to get crushed by his policies. From the staffing and budget cuts made by DOGE to the trade war and immigration raids, red states are feeling the pain even worse than the blue states that Trump has vowed to punish. Republican voters are always the hardest hit by the politicians that they keep supporting.Donald Trump's top economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, admitted on live television that he (and other members of the administration) are only feeding Trump flattering numbers about the economy that make him feel better. In other words, they are giving him fake and incomplete data to paint a much rosier picture of the economy. This is incredibly dangerous for many reasons, the most obvious being that they can't fix problems that they are pretending don't even exist. The White House apparently thought that it would be a good idea to publish their list of "Naughty" reporters and news organizations all over social media and their own official website, but they quickly deleted the entire thing after massive public backlash. As many users on social media pointed out, this was nothing short of an authoritarian attempt to shame the media into submission, or perhaps even to put targets on their backs for MAGA fanatics to take aim at. Either way, this was an enemies list and the administration isn't trying to hide the fact that they have one ready to deploy. Republicans are running out of ideas to get Donald Trump to wake up to the economic disaster that he has single handedly caused for hundreds of millions of Americans, and so far they've had no luck getting him to focus on real problems. To make matters worse, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, admitted this week that the bulk of the inflation we're seeing right now is because of Donald Trump's tariffs. There is no escaping blame at this point.The Trump administration finally got around to releasing the federal jobs data that they had been delaying for weeks on Tuesday, and there's a very obvious reason why they waited so long. The numbers are not just horrible - they are actually the worst we've seen in four years, meaning that Trump's economy in ONE YEAR is already worse than anything we saw under President Biden. Jobs numbers for previous months were also ALL revised downward, showing major job losses for three of the past six months. Elon Musk has decided to break his promises to both stay out of politics and to start his own political party, and he is now pledging to give truckloads of money to conservative candidates in next year's midterm races. Elon clearly didn't learn his lessons from this year about how much he is universally despised, and he seems to think that enough time has passed to make everyone forget about what a wretched piece of trash he is.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its initial estimates for November's job growth. Nationally, employers added a total of 64,000 jobs for the month, but other details in the report pointed towards a weakening labor market as the year ends.The unemployment rate increased to 4.6%, the highest in more than four years. In the last six months, the U.S. has only created a total of 100,000 new jobs. During normal periods of economic growth, the job market would eclipse that total practically every month rather than taking half a year to achieve it.Broadly, the private sector has performed better than the overall total. Through the first 11 months of the year, the private sector added 766,000 jobs while the government lost 156,000 jobs.Within those subsets, health care added 400,000 of the private sector jobs on a year-to-date basis, meaning growth was less than spectacular for most other industries. The federal government lost 268,000 jobs, but it was partially offset by local governments adding 147,000 jobs so far this year.As usual, the report is subject to further revisions, but the softness in the labor market is undeniable at this point. Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently noted that the job numbers reported could be overestimated by 60,000 per month.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website
The Federal Reserve just delivered its final rate cut of the year — a widely expected 25 basis point move — but Jerome Powell's message on housing may be the biggest takeaway. In this episode of Tom's Take, I break down what the Fed actually said, why rate cuts won't fix affordability, how inventory and the lock-in effect are shaping 2026, and what buyers and sellers in the Greater Philadelphia area should do next.

Bryce Doty, senior portfolio manager at Sit Investment Associates, says that "every time a new Fed chair comes in, they do something dumb," and with Jerome Powell on his way out as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, he expects some chaos that will create opportunities, potentially as soon as the next chairman of the central bank is announced. "The interpretation — and mis-interpretation — of what's going to happen is going to be crazy," Doty says, but that "complete mess" should create opportunity that turns out well for investors who ride it out and who "don't expect logic and reason to rule the day, at least for a quarter or two." Doty also talks about where he is moving money during tax-loss selling season and the changing discount picture as the market has returned to record highs.

The Federal Reserve, the US central bank, lowered its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday. The move comes as the US economy deals with sticky inflation, slowing jobs figures and a lack of official data because of the government shutdown.

Also in this edition: Donald Trump signals his support for a change of ownership at CNN. Plus, we bring you some data on Venezuela's oil industry.
Softwarereus Oracle kwam met een veel en veel beter dan verwachte winst. Maar bij dat goede nieuws blijft het, want beleggers schrikken van de rest. Ze hadden op meer omzet gerekend, maar vooral op minder investeringen in AI. De directie stelt aandeelhouders niet bepaald gerust: met een crash van het aandeel tot gevolg. Je bent de vraag 'is er een AI-bubbel' misschien wel zat, maar toch komt 'ie misschien wel voorbij. Want concurrenten gaan ook onderuit op de beurs. Waren Oracle-beleggers eerder dit jaar niet veel en veel te enthousiast? Ook hebben we het over het rentebesluit van de Fed, de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Saai? Zeker niet! In jaren is dat niet zo spannend geweest als nu. Er zijn maar liefst drie dissidenten en een schamele renteverlaging voor 2026. Wij kijken wat dat met aandelen doet.Hebben we het ook over kunstmest, want daar wil Arend Jan Kamp het graag over hebben. Een aflevering dus over poep, maar we hebben het ook over de Warner Bros-soap, een seniele topman én over Trump die de Houthi's nadoet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Die Amerikaanse Federale Reserwebank het sy rentekoers vir die derde keer vanjaar verlaag. Die sentrale bank se Federale Opemark-komitee het sy riglyn-rentekoers met 25 basispunte besnoei en plaas dit in die omgewing van 3,50 tot 3,75-persent, te midde van die verhoogde inflasiekoers in die ekonomie en 'n verswakte arbeidsmark. Die voorsitter van die Federale Reserwebank, Jerome Powell, sê die huidige verbysteek van die sentrale bank se 2 persent inflasieteiken is hoofsaaklik die gevolg van president Trump se verhoging van invoerbelasting:

iCapital's Sonali Basak breaks down Fed Chair Jerome Powell's commentary and the FOMC's press release after cutting interest rates 25bps. She believes it all points to a dovish tilt with a renewed focus on labor. Even if the Fed shakes up its staff next year, at least one cut baked into the dot plot for 2026 is something Sonali says reaffirms a dovish tone. She later touches on the Fed's adjustments with treasury bills and why it serves as a double-edged sword for investors. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The boys are back, and this time Jerome Powell shows up looking like he just stepped off the set of Terminator: Rate Cut Salvation. In this episode, Chris, Saied and Rajeil break down why markets are foaming at the mouth for a policy pivot… while conveniently ignoring every economic signal flashing bright orange. From exploding rate-cut odds to the consumer tapping out like they're on their ninth round of BNPL debt, this one's a full-speed sprint through the chaos the mainstream financial world desperately pretends isn't happening.➡️ Then we take a hard turn into the AI privacy nightmare no one seems ready for, and the kind of tech overreach that makes Skynet look spiritually grounded. You'll hear why the job market looks strong on the surface but hollow underneath, how corporate America keeps skating by on vibes, and why the average investor is still totally unprepared for what's coming. It's sharp, it's funny, it's troubling... in other words, it's The Higher Standard in peak form.
You could call this an early Christmas gift. A delayed September PCE report was released last week, focusing on core inflation—a price measure closely watched by the Federal Reserve. It came in cooler than expected, which is encouraging for the Trump administration, as it has been pushing the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. While attention is on this week's rate decision, eyes are already on next year. You could say the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, is on Trump's naughty list, and the nominee to replace him will likely be named in early 2026. What will that mean for the direction of monetary policy? Kenny Polcari, the Chief Market Strategist at Slatestone Wealth, shares insights on what investors are expecting from the Fed this week, who they think may replace Powell, and what to anticipate from the markets in the final weeks of 2025.

For the second edition of the George P. Shultz Memorial Lecture Series, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice, and Hoover Senior Fellow Michael Boskin assemble for a wide-ranging conversation on the economic mind and legacy of George P. Shultz. From his early career as a labor economist at MIT and the University of Chicago to his battles in the White House cabinet over wage and price controls, the closing of the gold window, and inflation that defined the Nixon and Reagan eras, Shultz emerges as a rare figure who fused intellectual rigor with political pragmatism. The panel explores how his beliefs in free markets, personal integrity, and “trust as the coin of the realm” shaped his actions, from collective bargaining and desegregation to global diplomacy—right up to his famous economic tutorials for Mikhail Gorbachev in the Kremlin. This is a timely look at how one man's economic philosophy helped steer American policy for half a century. Subscribe to Uncommon Knowledge at hoover.org/uk
