//The Wire//2300Z January 30, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: NEW FED CHAIR ANNOUNCED. ANTI-ICE GROUPS REORGANIZING AFTER SIGNAL CHAT LEAK TEMPORARILY DISRUPTED OPERATIONS IN MINNEAPOLIS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-New Jersey: Governor Mikie Sherrill announced the creation of a government database to track ICE agents throughout the state. Residents have been encouraged by the Governor herself to conduct intelligence collection of ICE operations, and upload reports to a government-created web portal. Analyst Comment: This portal had not been released yet, however it's expected to be launched soon. This follows similar efforts from around the country, as counter-ICE organization becomes sanctioned by many state governments.USA: Around the nation, various protests and demonstrations were carried out today, largely centered around anti-ICE causes. In Minneapolis, crowds formed again at City Hall and the Whipple Federal building, which has seen a persistent (albeit dwindling) turnout over the past few days. Other demonstrations were also carried out in Maine (where ICE surge operations are coming to an end), as well as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Washington, the timeless tradition of dumping information on a Friday has continued with several different developments. On the economic front, this morning President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. In addition to naming a new Fed Chair, a few more names have dropped as well, mostly in the form of a few million pages of Epstein files being released. Around 3 million allegedly new documents and thousands of videos have been posted online by the Department of Justice, however it will obviously take some time to determine if any of this information is truly new, or helpful for determining the national security implications of this case.On a related note, indications and warnings are mounting regarding another round of strikes in Iran. Nothing is certain at the moment, and rhetoric has been flying all around, but the US is moving a lot of military aircraft into the region at an increasing rate. Al-Udeid Airbase (the facility that is the chief target for Iranian retaliation) still has not been evacuated yet, however, there are currently a few exercises involving aircraft movement throughout the region...exercises that provide a convenient reason to stage forces throughout the area. In any case, it's all speculation at the moment and only time will tell as to if the United States is going to follow through on the rhetoric to conduct strikes once again.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

Inflation pressures are resurfacing—and the Federal Reserve may be headed for a major shakeup. In today's episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest Producer Price Index report, which shows wholesale prices rising faster than expected in December, driven entirely by persistent services inflation. While goods prices remain flat, the data suggests underlying inflation pressures are proving stubborn—complicating expectations for near-term interest rate cuts. Then, in breaking news, President Donald Trump announces his plan to nominate former Fed governor Kevin Warsh as the next chair of the Federal Reserve, replacing Jerome Powell when his term expires. Markets react swiftly, raising new questions about interest rates, Fed independence, and what this leadership change could mean for investors. This episode connects the dots between inflation data, monetary policy, and real-world impacts on mortgage rates, borrowing costs, and real estate investing strategy—so you can stay informed in an increasingly uncertain economic environment.

A.M. Edition for Jan. 30. President Trump is reportedly planning to announce his choice to succeed Jerome Powell as Fed chair today: former Fed governor Kevin Warsh. WSJ finance editor Alex Frangos tells us it's unclear which version of the central bank insider-turned-critic Trump would get. Plus, OpenAI says its hotly-anticipated public offering may come in the fourth quarter.

This morning, President Donald Trump revealed his choice to lead the Federal Reserve: It's Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor and more recent Fed critic. If confirmed by the Senate, Warsh would replace Jerome Powell, whose term expires in May. Warsh had called for "regime change" at the Fed. On today's show, we'll dig into Warsh's background and perspective. Plus, from "Marketplace Tech," we'll hear how a Nevada startup is taking used electric vehicle batteries to help power a data center.

After months of anticipation, President Trump has finally announced who he'd like to see lead the Federal Reserve, nominating Kevin Warsh to replace Chairman Jerome Powell. Powell, whose term ends this May, has been a frequent target of the President's criticism for not cutting interest rates more aggressively. Warsh—a former Fed Governor and current business professor at Stanford University—was frequently cited by Fox Business as a leading potential replacement. He has also previously called for "regime change" at the Fed. Doug Holtz Eakin, the former director of the Congressional Budget Office and is now the president of the American Action Forum, joins FOX Business Network's Gerri Willis to discuss lingering questions about whether Warsh can be confirmed and what his nomination will mean for the Fed's future. Then, Daniel Bunn, President and CEO of the Tax Foundation, explains to Gerri what American individuals and businesses can expect from the tax benefits of the Big Beautiful Bill, and why he is optimistic the law give the economy a boost.

On this high-energy Friday episode host Jeff blends faith and fierce political commentary as he covers a rapid-fire set of stories shaping the moment. The program opens with a personal welcome and a short "Word on Word" Bible segment, then quickly pivots into breaking news and reaction: Jeff's thoughts (and a dream) about Don Lemon's arrest and the legal penalties at stake. Major topics include President Trump's recent Davos-related messaging and reposted propaganda clip, plus Trump administration appointments (Colin McDonald named to head the new National Fraud Enforcement division) and federal moves on election integrity. Jeff plays and reacts to audio clips from figures such as Donald Trump and George Papadopoulos, and discusses reports of a purported sweeping, decade-long DOJ/DOJ–FBI–DNI–CIA RICO-style investigation into senior Democrats and media figures, including mention of a Florida grand jury. The episode examines election-related developments: an FBI raid in Fulton County that seized ballots and machines, possible links to Maricopa County actions, allegations of foreign interference (Dominion/Smartmatic, China) and legal strategies (references to Ed Martin, Sidney Powell, the Brunson appeals matter). Jeff outlines scenarios for how these events might upend the midterm calendar or the party system itself. Health and science topics get heavy coverage: a guest clip alleging dramatic increases in military morbidity/mortality from 2020–2021, claims about vaccine safety and composition (graphene oxide, nanoparticles, HIV proteins), assertions about smart dust and 6G, plus a personal note on natural immunity, medicinal mushrooms, and lifestyle suggestions Jeff endorses. International coverage touches on Canada (Carney/Trudeau, snap election concerns), Keir Starmer and the U.K., U.S. posture in the Western Hemisphere (Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba) and geopolitical resource arguments. Financial policy and currency are also highlighted: Jerome Powell's disclosed DOJ inquiry, Trump's selection of Kevin Warsh for the Fed, talk of a digital currency replacement, and comments from Treasury/Scott Besant on gold, the “golden age” narrative, and potential economic transition strategies. The episode also weaves in personal moments — Jeff asking for prayer amid apparent pressure and threats, promotion of a Saturday night prayer meeting and a Sunday Bible study — and closes with exhortations to love God, family and neighbor while staying alert to the fast-moving political landscape. Expect strong opinions, conspiratorial and controversial claims, audio clips from political insiders, and a host who connects political events to spiritual dynamics throughout.

In this episode of Band of Traders, Kyle and Dan take a live, unscripted tour through Polymarket, using it as a lens for market psychology, narrative formation, and content discovery.What starts as curiosity about how prediction markets work quickly turns into a broader discussion about how these markets price probability, react to news, and create opportunities for thinking in options-style frameworks. Along the way, they explore everything from corporate earnings and central bank leadership to geopolitics, AI bubbles, celebrity culture, sports, and even chess championships.Rather than treating Polymarket as a place to make bets, the conversation treats it as a real-time map of what people believe, fear, and expect to happen next—and how that information can be mined for ideas, trades, and better questions.Chapters & Timestamps:00:00 – Intro and why Polymarket caught their attention02:30 – How prediction markets work and how pricing is formed05:20 – Hasbro, Wizards of the Coast, and investor trust08:40 – Using Polymarket like an options market11:10 – Central banks, Jerome Powell, and event-driven trades13:30 – Geopolitics and leadership change markets17:00 – The AI bubble question and defining “burst”20:10 – Event rules, edge cases, and market interpretation22:30 – Culture, media, and prediction markets24:40 – Movies, celebrities, and narrative betting27:00 – Sports, chess, and long-shot probabilities30:30 – Hedging outcomes and probability ranges33:30 – What Polymarket reveals about collective belief36:00 – Closing thoughts and parting adviceSubscribe, share, and join the trading conversations on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Discord!Sponsors and FriendsOur podcast is sponsored by Sue Maki at Fairway Independent Mortgage (MLS# 206048).

Danni Hewson, Head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, discusses Trump's nomination to replace Jerome Powell, the current chair of the Federal Reserve.

Breaking news from the White House. President Donald Trump said he intends to nominate Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve, according to a post on his Truth Social platform. “I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best,” Trump wrote. “On top of everything else, he is ‘central casting,’ and he will never let you down.” Warsh, who served on the US central bank’s Board of Governors from 2006 to 2011 and has previously advised Trump on economic policy, would succeed Jerome Powell when his term at the helm ends in May. It marks a comeback for Warsh, 55, whom the president passed over for the top job in 2017 when he selected Powell. If confirmed by the Senate, the former Fed governor will take charge of US monetary policy at a time when many economists and investors see its traditional insulation from elected officials as being under threat from the White House. Warsh aligned himself with the president in 2025 by arguing publicly for lower interest rates, going against his longstanding reputation as an inflation hawk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Deere is also building a distribution center in Hebron, Indiana, according to a press release from the company. “In keeping with our strong tradition of building America, we are excited to announce plans to open two new U.S.-based facilities: a state-of-the-art distribution center near Hebron, Indiana, and a cutting-edge excavator factory in Kernersville, North Carolina, both set to open in the next year,” the company said. Each project is expected to employ 150 Americans.

The bank said it will match the government's $1,000 contribution to the newly established accounts for children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028 for all 165,000 U.S. employees. Additionally, the bank will enable its employees with children under age 18 to make pretax contributions to Trump accounts through payroll deductions. According to the Treasury Department's Office of Tax Analysis, a fully funded Trump account could be worth as much as $1.9 million by age 28, with lower-end returns approaching $600,000 over the same period. Treasury estimates the savings account would rise to between $3,000 and $13,800 over 18 years without contributions beyond the federal government's initial $1,000 deposit.

The deal, announced Monday by far-left Podemos and the Socialist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, represents one of the most sweeping amnesties in modern Spanish history, La Gaceta reports. According to party sources and reports from Cadena SER, the measure will be approved by royal decree at Tuesday's Council of Ministers. It bypasses ordinary parliamentary scrutiny and fast-tracks a policy that will undoubtedly have catastrophic, long-term demographic, economic, and security consequences. Under the plan, illegal immigrants who can demonstrate as little as five months of residence in Spain will be eligible for legal status. The regularization applies regardless of how they entered the country or whether they previously violated immigration or labor laws. The cutoff date for eligibility is December 31, 2025, meaning anyone already residing illegally in Spain before that date may qualify. Government estimates suggest more than half a million people could benefit, making this not an isolated humanitarian measure but a structural transformation of Spain's migration policy. Source: thegatewaypundit.com President of European Parliament Bans EU Nations from Purchasing Russian Gas Without Paying Commission to Third Party   the European Union is now banning the EU countries from purchasing discounted Russian oil and gas directly. Instead, the EU will force their assembly to purchase Russian oil and gas from India at a premium.  The EU is still buying Russian oil and gas; however, paying more, they believe, will work out better for them in the long-term.    European Parliament President Roberta Metsola made the announcement via X: [SOURCE] The actual target of this oil and gas ban is the nation of Hungary, who as a landlocked nation is dependent on the gas from Russia.  The EU ban expressly hurts the position of Hungary because Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has refused to kneel to the dictates of Brussels. Prime Minister Orban has vowed to sue the European Parliament over the ban. The lawsuit will likely be supported by other EU countries who understand the stupidity of paying India for what amounts to a brokerage fee to deliver the same oil and gas.

What We Know So Far We reported Tuesday evening about the bizarre attack on the far-left Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) in Minneapolis. As RedState's Susie Moore wrote, Omar was “speaking at a town hall event there when a man approached her and appeared to spray an unknown substance at her while pointing and yelling at her.” The man was quickly taken down by what appeared to be a security guard, and an apparently unharmed Omar initially moved toward the assailant and yelled angrily at him. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2016375584331354404?s=20 Kazmierczak, a 55-year-old Minneapolis resident, was arrested on January 27, 2026, for third-degree assault after spraying Omar with an unknown substance (reported to smell like vinegar) during a town hall event she hosted in Minneapolis. He shouted demands for her to resign, claiming she was “tearing Minnesota apart,” amid tensions over federal immigration enforcement in the area.  . Public records indicate Kazmierczak has been unemployed since at least 2017 (when he was receiving disability payments), has filed for bankruptcy, and has a history of two DUI convictions but no prior violent crimes. He has been married and divorced twice, but there are no verified links between his ex-wives and Omar. Some social media speculation has suggested connections—such as claims that he worked for Omar’s husband’s business partners or that an ex-wife supported Omar—but these appear unsubstantiated, with no supporting evidence in news reports or public records.  Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/mymomcare/status/2016495436018733441?s=20   President Trump Weighs In With a Highly Provocative Take Regarding the Spray Attack on Ilhan Omar Shortly following the attack, Trump was asked by ABC's Rachel Scott regarding whether he had seen the video. https://twitter.com/rachelvscott/status/2016365247817257360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2016365247817257360%7Ctwgr%5E18f7c1027a366f0d59a4aaa3f423ebe67276fc1e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-weighs-highly-provocative-take-regarding-spray%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com How do we know it was staged 1. sprayed unknown liquid, keyword unknown 2. was it poison, was it a virus, etc. 3. why wasn’t everyone evacuated or contained in this location 4. why wasn’t poison control called, no hazmat suit people coming 5. why did she decided to continue with the townhall if she doesn’t know what the liquid was, she doesn’t want to be checked out.  Forensic investigators determined the substance was apple cider vinegar  https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/2016410811024216116?s=20  https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2016482991220851124?s=20 Soros-backed Philadelphia DA vows to ‘hunt’ down ICE agents: ‘We will find you’ https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/2016501035414466807?s=20   President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/AGPamBondi/status/2016585424840339831?s=20 https://twitter.com/MayorFrey/status/2016241048209518736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2016299403230036327%7Ctwgr%5Ee97929c3cc41b95d49cf21728478f8315dc83629%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fx22report.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D28444action%3Dedit  They were stalling/lying.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Eugenio Garibay y Andre Dos Santos, desglosan la decisión de la Reserva Federal de mantener las tasas inalteradas, profundizando en el mensaje de Jerome Powell sobre una economía "en base firme" pero con una inflación que aún requiere paciencia, una postura que mantuvo al S&P 500 cerca de máximos y al oro rompiendo récords históricos.La conversación se centra luego en el explosivo cierre de mercado con los reportes de las Big Tech. Eugenio y Andre discuten el giro radical de Tesla, donde Elon Musk apuesta el futuro de la compañía a los Robotaxis y humanoides Optimus; los resultados de Meta, que logra justificar un gasto masivo en IA gracias a su inmensa escala de usuarios; y el reporte de Microsoft, que pese a superar expectativas, dejó a los inversores pidiendo más claridad sobre el retorno de su inversión en la nube.Para cerrar, los hosts conectan estos puntos para explicar qué significa este para los portafolios, un mercado donde los índices son impulsados por la inteligencia artificial.

President Donald Trump sharply criticized the Federal Reserve after officials decided to keep interest rates unchanged. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank remains focused on bringing inflation down to 2% while protecting employment. Trump accused Powell of keeping rates too high in a lengthy Truth Social post, as the decision comes amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and increasing oil prices.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The world’s largest tech firms show no signs of easing up on AI spending, a record wave that’s propelling hardware providers like Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. That’s even as doubts persist about the staying power of artificial intelligence demand to justify all that capital. Meta Platforms Inc. alone revealed ambitions to spend as much as $135 billion this year — one of the biggest planned outlays of the business sphere. Meta, Microsoft and fellow hyperscalers such as Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc., are driving a wave of global spending on chips, servers and computers that’s firing up hardware suppliers around the world, particularly in Asia. A procession of industry linchpins’s results this week further underscored how voracious the appetite for AI hardware has grown — and how that’s likely to extend well into 2026.2) Tesla Inc. has planned $20 billion of spending this year to streamline its electric-vehicle lineup and shift resources toward robotics and AI, part of a sweeping set of changes pushing the company further from its roots as an automobile manufacturer. The capital expenditure plans laid out Wednesday – roughly twice as much as Wall Street was expecting – will support production expansion at multiple factories, scaling up the nascent robotaxi business and building out AI infrastructure. Tesla also revealed plans to discontinue the Model S and X vehicles and devote that plant capacity to building Optimus humanoid robots.3) Jerome Powell has two more opportunities to adjust interest rates before his term as Federal Reserve chair ends — and he may not need them. After the Fed kept borrowing costs on hold Wednesday, Powell talked up a “clear improvement” in the US outlook and said the job market shows signs of steadying. It signals a cautious optimism: Fed officials delivered three cuts last fall, and see nothing in the latest data to suggest more are needed to prop up the economy. Futures markets expect no shift in rates before June. By then, Powell’s term as chair will have ended and a new one should be in place — likely opening another phase of President Trump’s campaign for lower rates, which has upended the Fed over the past year. In a potential sign of what’s coming, the only two officials who voted for another cut this week were Governor Stephen Miran — on leave at the Fed from his post as a top Trump aide — and Governor Christopher Waller, one of four names on Trump’s shortlist of potential Powell successors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
