The Supreme Court on Monday delivered one of the biggest changes in decades to how the federal government works when it ruled that President Trump could fire independent government regulators. Then, it announced an exception to its own ruling. Ann E. Marimow, who covers the Supreme Court for The New York Times, explains what the court was up to. Guest: Ann E. Marimow, the Supreme Court for The New York Times from Washington. Background reading: The Supreme Court expanded Mr. Trump's power to fire officials but prevented the removal of Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor. Photo: Tierney L.

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles as the Supreme Court delivers a series of stunning rulings that pierce Donald Trump's carefully constructed “Golden Dome,” leaving him facing fresh legal humiliation in the E. Jean Carroll case while battles over presidential power, voting rights, and the future of the Federal Reserve intensify. From Natalie Harp's role as Trump's “human printer” to empty crowds at Trump's much-hyped National Mall state fair, David and Joanna unpack a presidency increasingly insulated from reality as new reporting exposes White House rivalries, family business dealings, and growing fears of political accountability. They dive into the political fallout of mass deportations, the corruption questions surrounding Kazakhstan mining deals, and the Democratic Party's fight over whether to prioritize affordability or accountability, all while asking what America's founding ideals mean on the eve of the nation's 250th birthday.

The US Supreme Court gives Donald Trump sweeping new powers to fire government employees, but sides against him in cases regarding the Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook and mail-in voting ballots. Judges also rejected President Trump's request to appeal against a $5m civil verdict that he'd sexually abused and defamed the journalist E. Jean Carroll. Also: the US military reopens Venezuela's La Guaira port to help aid deliveries after the earthquakes. The right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori wins Peru's presidential election. Six people are killed in a mass shooting in Germany. WhatsApp will soon give users the option to chat without revealing their phone numbers. Tennis players demand Wimbledon prize money is shared fairly, and the deadly fish with human-like teeth wreaking havoc on Greek fishermen.

As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.” And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

The Supreme Court handed President Trump a significant win Monday by allowing him to remove the leaders of once-independent federal agencies at will. In another ruling, the court made it harder for Trump or future presidents to remove members of the Federal Reserve — temporarily blocking him from firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook over unsubstantiated allegations of mortgage fraud. Former federal prosecutor Berit Berger joins Anderson. Plus, New York Times investigative reporter Eric Lipton discusses how the president's family could stand to profit from a billion-dollar mining deal with Kazakhstan. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down a major Supreme Court ruling giving Presidents broad authority to fire agency appointees, plus a separate ruling on the Federal Reserve and a surprising decision allowing late-arriving mail-in ballots to be counted. Bryan also tackles a growing panic on Wall Street as New York's wealthy realize they have no real plan to stop the rise of Communist Democrats in Gotham, and he gives his blunt take on why it is too late to reverse the trend. From there, Bryan covers new developments in Iran, including a Pentagon database failure now blamed for the deadly strike on a girls school during Operation Epic Fury, and a vigilante known as "Mexican Batman" taking justice into his own hands against cartel-linked criminals. Plus, the US deepens its Pacific strategy with new underwater drones for the Philippines and a major deal pulling Vanuatu back from China's orbit, China's AI models close the gap with American systems, and Ford rehires veteran engineers after learning AI cannot fully replace human judgment.

John discusses the Supreme Court ruling the White House has extraordinary leeway in the hiring and firing of agency staff across the executive branch, thoroughly weakening independent oversight. Interestingly, the one HR case the Supreme Court ruled against Trump was the dismissal of Lisa Cook at the Federal Reserve. SCOTUS also rejected Trump's appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict and payout, and ruled that Mississippi's law demanding a grace period for mail-in ballots is good and upheld. Next, Professor Corey Brettschneider returns to explain the legal factoids of the SCOTUS rulings. And last but not least - comedian Rhonda Hansome joins the fun and speaks with listeners about the SCOTUS rulings, the unfair State fair, and the petulance of The Donald.

On Monday, we got four more decisions from the nation's highest court, and they were… well, confusing. For example, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump can fire federal independent agency commissioners, but he can't fire a governor at the Federal Reserve – which is also an independent agency. We also got a surprisingly good ruling on mail-in voting, and a separate victory for privacy and the Fourth Amendment. So is there any method to the seeming madness in the Supreme Court's decisions this term? To find out, we spoke to Kate Shaw. She's a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania and co-host of Crooked Media's Strict Scrutiny.And in headlines, Trump says the U.S. will meet with Iran in Qatar on Tuesday for further negotiations, Russian President Vladimir Putin admits Russia is facing fuel shortages in its war with Ukraine, and the WHO names Europe the fastest-warming continent on the planet.Show Notes: Check out Strict Scrutiny – youtube.com/channel/UCk-Km4tcqAbhpnbrvj1pJFw Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The end is nigh! Or, the end of this Supreme Court term is nigh, at least. On the second to last day of this term, the court's right wingers delivered a sweeping ruling that will reshape the federal government for years to come. In Trump v. Slaughter, the conservative supermajority voted 6-3 to allow the president to fire members of independent regulatory agencies—overturning Humphrey's Executor, a 91-year-old unanimous precedent—and handing Trump effective control over agencies that regulate consumer protection, nuclear energy, union activity, mine safety, and more. But the Roberts majority weren't quite ready to hand the nation's credit card (and their investment portfolios) over to the mad king, and so the Federal Reserve got a carve-out in a separate 5-4 ruling in Trump v. Cook. How did they reach these wildly different conclusions in such closely related cases? Justice Roberts offered a barely argued rationale, but who needs a rationale if your red lines are painted in a crimson of pure cynicism?The court also handed down a significant Fourth Amendment ruling on geofence warrants, with Justice Kagan writing for a 6-3 majority that such warrants constitute a "search" under the Fourth Amendment. And in Watson v. Republican National Committee, the court upheld state laws allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive shortly after. But the squeaker of a 5-4 majority was deeply alarming in a case that played to some of the justices' fox-brained ideas about election fraud. Justice Alito and his fellow dissenters appear to have signed onto the wholly unsupported view that Democrat wins are always suspect, and the only way to restore trust in voting is to restrict voting.

In part one of our Supreme Court decisions coverage, Charles C. W. Cooke, Richard Epstein, and John Yoo break down the decisions handed down today, beginning with the Court's treatment of presidential removal power in Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook (no relation) —the first apparently overruling Humphrey's Executor for ordinary agencies, the second preserving a major carveout for the Federal Reserve. They also debate Chatrie v. United States, a Fourth Amendment case involving law enforcement's use of geofencing warrants and cellphone location data, and close with Watson v. Republican National Committee, in which Justice Amy Coney Barrett held that states may count mail-in ballots received after Election Day unless Congress clearly says otherwise. Along the way, the hosts argue over the administrative state, judicial independence, election integrity, and whether the Roberts Court is as predictable—or as partisan—as its critics claim. Part two will be on Thursday, with a decision expected on (cue dramatic music)...birthright citizenship!

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Doug Casey to the show. Doug Casey is a Bestselling Author, Speculator, Founder of Casey Research, and Voluntarist Philosopher. The conversation opens with an analysis of the disconnect between geopolitical turmoil, specifically the disruption of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, and equity markets trading near all-time highs. Casey argues the recent de-escalation between the U.S. and Iran is likely temporary, as the core dispute between Israel and Iran remains unresolved. Despite this volatility, he remains bullish on oil, favoring oil and gas stocks due to their low representation in the market and high dividend yields, a sentiment he backs with his own investment strategy. Casey introduces his thesis of a “Greater Depression,” a period of declining real standards of living masked by a debt-fueled financial economy. He contrasts the struggling real economy, burdened by consumer and government debt, with the booming stock market, suggesting the current stability is unsustainable. Looking at long-term trends, he posits that all commodities historically trend toward zero in real terms as technology advances. However, he notes that commodities are currently the cheapest asset class compared to grossly overvalued stocks, bonds, and real estate, making them especially attractive. The discussion shifts to gold and silver, which Casey treats primarily as savings vehicles, noting the 55-year bull market is still intact. While he believes gold is no longer a great speculation at current prices, he finds mining stocks to be exceptionally undervalued, driven by industry-wide unpopularity and neglect from institutional investors. He extends this bullishness to agricultural commodities and fertilizers, deeming corn ultra-cheap and noting natural gas, a key input for urea, is also priced at a bargain in North America. For speculation, he expresses a strong preference for private placements and warrants in smaller, entrepreneur-led companies. The conversation concludes with a grim outlook for U.S. fiscal health, predicting rising interest rates driven by unsustainable deficits and a bond market that will eventually slip the Federal Reserve's control.

Sam Broom of Sprott returns to Mining Stock Daily for a wide-ranging discussion on one of the most challenging periods for precious metals investors in recent memory. With gold correcting sharply despite record producer margins, Sam explains why he believes today's pessimism represents a healthy reset within a much larger secular bull market rather than the end of the cycle. The conversation explores the Federal Reserve, inflation expectations, the U.S. dollar, mining sector valuations, and why quality producers and developers may present some of the best opportunities investors have seen in years. Trevor and Sam also discuss M&A activity, copper's long-term outlook, uranium, critical minerals, and why government policy alone hasn't been enough to reignite investor interest across the resource sector. Finally, Sam shares where he's beginning to selectively deploy capital, the commodities he believes are being overlooked, and why patient investors should pay close attention to today's extreme sentiment.______Terrahutton empowers junior mining companies to secure investment with immersive, interactive, and visually striking storytelling.

SCHEDULE JBS, 6-23-2026.1936Alan Greenspan's Legacy and the New Fed Chair. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. This segment reflects on the passing of Alan Greenspan and the transition to Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair. Peek highlights Warsh's goal to reform data collection and move away from forecasting, favoring real-time data over the traditional, often confusing, communication styles of his predecessors like Greenspan. 1The Resilient US Consumer and AI Infrastructure. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. Despite concerns over tariffs and wars, consumer spending remains robust, fueled by record stock market levels and rising low-end wages. Peek argues against AI alarmism, noting that massive investments in AI infrastructure are creating a surge in blue-collar job demand for skilled trades like welding and construction. 2Critiquing the Memo of Understanding with Iran. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Schanzer describes the newly established Memo of Understanding as a "dog's breakfast" that grants the Iranian regime significant sanctions relief and upfront cash. He argues the agreement appears to be an American defeat, particularly regarding the shaky nuclear inspection protocols and the uncertain status of the Strait of Hormuz. 3Hezbollah's Role and the Fog of Middle East Diplomacy. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. The discussion focuses on Hezbollah as a "wholly owned subsidiary" of Iran, with the IRGC directing its activities in Lebanon. Schanzer criticizes the administration for expecting Israel to adhere to a ceasefire while Iran continues to provoke attacks, labeling the current diplomatic strategy as improvised and potentially harmful. 4Secretary Rubio's Reassurance Mission to Gulf Allies. Guest: Mary Kissel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio travels to the Gulf to reassure the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain of U.S. security commitments following Iranian attacks. Kissel criticizes the administration for granting Iran sanctions relief and 60-day exemptions, arguing that the diplomatic effort prioritizes "hope over experience" regarding Iranian nuclear ambitions. 5The Impact of Foreign Policy on Domestic Midterms. Guest: Mary Kissel. Kissel examines whether foreign policy influences American voters, noting it is rare compared to "pocketbook" issues like inflation and interest rates. She warns that adversarial regimes like Iran and China are sophisticated observers of the U.S. electoral calendar and may attempt to influence domestic politics. 6Kevin Warsh's Reformist Vision for the Federal Reserve. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg analyzes Kevin Warsh's first FOMC meeting, noting a shift toward shorter policy statements and the removal of the "dot plot" forecasting tool. Warsh is initiating five task forces to reform the Fed's intellectual framework, specifically targeting productivity, data quality, and balance sheet management. 7The Turmoil of British Leadership and the Labour Party. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. This segment explores the potential replacement of Keir Starmer with Andy Burnham as UK Prime Minister.

Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley discusses the power struggles within Iran and the strategic card of the Strait of Hormuz. He notes that while the strait is "more or less open," the situation remains in flux, with regional players like Turkey seeking to thwart Iranian ambitions in the Mediterranean. 9Xi Jinping's Strategic Outreach to North Korea. Guest: Gregory Copley. Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang is seen as a move to reassert Chinese influence over North Korea as Kim Jong-un shifts away from communist identity. Kim is positioning himself as an equal to Xi while strengthening his ties with Russia, creating a complex ideological shift in the region. 10British Political Fragmentation and the Immigration Crisis. Guest: Gregory Copley. Britain has seen seven prime ministers in ten years due to political fragmentation over illegal immigration and European relations.

Guest: Gregory Copley. Amidst political instability, King Charles III is viewed as a dynamic symbol of national dignity and continuity. The segment discusses the King's role in stabilizing the United Kingdom following Prime Minister Starmer's resignation and managing sensitive royal family matters to preserve the image of the monarchy. 12Recovering the Original Understanding of Unalienable Rights. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz reflects on the 2019 Commission on Unalienable Rights, which sought to ground human rights in the American founding tradition.

Guest: Peter Berkowitz. This segment discusses applying founding principles to modern diplomacy, specifically condemning the Chinese Communist Party's crimes against the Uyghurs. Berkowitz argues that despite economic entanglements, the United States must maintain its dedication to universal principles and use its diplomatic toolbox to address massive human rights violations. 14The Strategic Failure of the Iran Memo of Understanding. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter analyzes the Memo of Understanding, highlighting unresolved issues like the Strait of Hormuz and the $80 billion war funding request. He argues the administration is trying to make kinetic action palatable to voters while failing to secure meaningful concessions on Iran's nuclear program or its sponsorship of terrorism. 15The Republican Fissures and Potential Third-Party Movements. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. The discussion centers on Tucker Carlson's potential departure from the Republican Party over foreign policy disagreements. McCotter suggests this reflects deeper fault lines within the MAGA base, where isolationist tendencies and dissatisfaction with the administration's relationship with allies like Israel could lead to future political discord. 16

In his first meeting as Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh signaled restraint in providing guidance. Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets looks at possible impacts of the new approach.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Today, why the Fed could do less than expected and why that could still lead to more volatility. It's Wednesday, June 24th at 2pm in London. Last week saw the first meeting of the Federal Reserve under its new chair, Kevin Warsh. It didn't disappoint. The Fed's Summary of Economic Projections saw significantly higher inflation than the last iteration in March, and in turn, a much stronger case to raise interest rates, perhaps multiple times. The Fed's statement, which laid out its views around the economy and its reasons for action, was changed dramatically – and also significantly shortened. We don't think the Fed will ultimately follow through on the interest rate rises that were flagged in this meeting and will choose instead to remain on hold this year. But we think this scenario of them staying on hold can still lead to more volatility. I'll try to address each side of this apparent contradiction. First, the Fed is clearly worried about inflation, which has been elevated for a considerable period of time. But working through the numbers, Morgan Stanley economists forecast lower inflation over the rest of this year than the Fed now expects. And so, while we think it would be entirely reasonable for the Fed to expect to raise interest rates based on the high inflation that they have penciled in, we think they could reach a different conclusion if our lower estimates are ultimately correct. Supporting our case, at least in our view, is that energy prices have fallen significantly in recent weeks since some of these Fed forecasts were set, as markets have moved to believe not only would existing oil production resume in the Persian Gulf, but Iran could increase exports materially under its new agreement with the United States. That would greatly reduce a source of underlying inflationary pressure in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. With inflation set to come in lower than feared, we think the Fed's most natural option will be to remain on hold this year rather than raise rates. But if the Fed's not doing anything, how exactly is that going to drive volatility? Our answer to that question lies in another thing that it's not going to be doing – providing as much information about where it thinks monetary policy is going next. Indeed, since the financial crisis, the Fed often went out of its way to give so-called forward guidance and significant detail about when and how they may change policy in the future. Proponents saw this as a way to avoid surprises and smooth the transmission of this policy, but critics saw it as limiting and potentially giving markets a false sense of certainty. The new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, is one of these critics and has promised to give a lot less forward guidance. That lack of handholding by the Fed about what they might do next is a big change. Coupled with the potential for a smaller Fed balance sheet and big questions around the path of inflation and the impact of AI and productivity, every data point now has more potential to shift the market's thinking. My strategy colleagues think that this will lead to higher volatility in two-year interest rates, as well as more volatility in currencies. I'd also note that here in the UK, this paradox is not nearly as puzzling. Here, the Bank of England's target rate has been the same level since mid-December. But that hasn't stopped the UK two-year bond yield from trading in an over 100 basis point range. Thank you, as always, for your time.

The latest Federal Reserve policy shifts and rising geopolitical tensions are reshaping the financial landscape. With Jerome Powell exiting and Kevin Warsh signaling a tighter-lipped Fed, investors face renewed market uncertainty and an end to traditional forward guidance. This episode breaks down how the ongoing Iran conflict is dictating oil prices and the timeline for interest rate cuts, while exploring why the stock market continues to offer the best risk-to-reward ratio for capital deployment.The conversation also dives into the massive economic potential of advanced AI and robotics, analyzing predictions from industry leaders regarding the automated future of the global labor market. We evaluate the current hyper-supply phase of the real estate market cycle, the potential massive liquidity injection from the upcoming Crypto Clarity Act, and the exact $5 million financial milestone needed to achieve true freedom in today's economy.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDFederal Reserve policy changes and the elimination of forward guidance under Kevin Warsh.Geopolitical impacts of the 60-day MOU in the Iran conflict on global oil prices.Short-term stock market corrections and interest rate cut predictions for the coming year.Institutional investments, warm water cooling, and the bullish outlook for Nvidia.SpaceX IPO lockup periods and why short-term valuation pressures exist for early retail buyers.The integration of advanced humanoid robotics into global labor markets and factory infrastructure.The upcoming US House committee hearing on the Crypto Clarity Act and its potential market impact.Phase three and four of the Mueller real estate cycle and how to acquire undervalued commercial assets.Leveraging life insurance arbitrage to invest in real estate debt funds for positive yield.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Federal Reserve's decision to drop forward guidance removes the market's reliance on predictable rate cuts, signaling a return to historically normal, higher interest rate environments.Global oil prices remain the primary linchpin for future interest rate decisions, as energy costs directly drive producer costs and broader inflation metrics.Advanced robotics and AI infrastructure are poised to offset massive global labor shortages, presenting one of the most lucrative long-term investment vectors of the next decade.The real estate market is currently navigating the hyper-supply and recession phases of its cycle, making this the ideal time for patient capital to acquire distressed assets before rate cuts occur.Achieving a liquid, risk-free baseline of $5 million in Treasury bills provides a mathematical guarantee of financial freedom, effectively covering lifestyle costs through pure interest yield.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONWealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

It's Wednesday, June 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Attacks on French Christians up by 70 percent Attacks on Christians in France surged over 70 percent last year. The data comes from a recent report by the government. General anti-religious attacks more than doubled since 2010. Anti-Christian violence followed the trend, nearly doubling over the same period. The European Center for Law & Justice notes that the actual number of anti-Christian acts may be two to three times higher than the official figures. The group also reported that France lacks any dedicated institutional framework to combat anti-Christian hatred. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned The United Kingdom's head of government announced his resignation on June 22nd. The country is set to have its sixth prime minister in just seven years. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepped down after his Labor Party experienced major election losses in May. STARMER: “The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party, and I accept that answer with good grace. Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first. “That is why I will resign as leader of the Labor Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King [Charles III] this morning to inform him of my decision. I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labor Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the ninth of July.” Keir Starmer, an avowed atheist, was known for his support for abortion and assisted suicide. Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” British study: Marriage brings more stability New research from the United Kingdom confirms that marriage is a major factor in relationship stability. The report from the Marriage Foundation found that unmarried couples were nearly twice as likely to separate as married couples. Dr. Harry Benson is the Research Director at the Marriage Foundation. He noted, “This groundbreaking study categorically demonstrates the benefits of marrying, and blows apart decades of government policy that has consistently downgraded marriage to just another form of relationship like cohabitating.” Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” U.S. abortions down slightly In the United States, the reported number of babies murdered in the womb decreased slightly last year. The Society of Family Planning, a pro-abortion group, estimates there were 1.13 million abortions in 2025. That's down from 1.14 million in 2024. The data shows in-person abortions are decreasing while so-called “telehealth” abortions are increasing. Nearly a third of abortions are now done outside of physical locations by swallowing the Abortion Kill Pill which mothers order by mail. Texas judge allowed recusal from officiating homosexual faux weddings A Texas judge won her religious freedom case last week against the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. The Commission had issued Judge Dianne Hensley a public warning, sanctioning her for Christian beliefs. She had simply recused herself from performing weddings for couples living in unnatural relations. The recent settlement awarded Hensley $10,000 and required the Commission to pay her attorney's fees of $630,000. Economist Alan Greenspan died at 100 Economist Alan Greenspan died at the age of 100 on Monday from complications of Parkinson's Disease. He served as the chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006. He has been credited as the orchestrator of U.S. economic growth in the 1990s. However, his easy-money policies were also blamed for the 2008 financial crisis. Greenspan was often known as the second most powerful person in the country after the president. 47 percent of Protestant pastors oppose celebrating America's 250th birthday A new survey from Lifeway Research asked pastors about celebrating America's 250th birthday. Fifty-percent of U.S. Protestant pastors agree that their church should do something special to commemorate the event. Forty-seven percent disagree. Also, 45 percent of pastors support patriotic elements in worship services during the week of July Fourth. That's down from 61 percent in 2016. Meanwhile, 30 percent of pastors say their congregation's love for America sometimes seems great than their love for God. That's down from 53 percent. U.S. soccer players glorify God And finally, the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team is advancing in the World Cup. The team has achieved back-to-back victories for the first time since 1930. Members of the team are also making headlines for their faith in Jesus Christ. Last week, star player Christian Pulisic posted a picture of teammates praying on the field after their game against Australia. One of his teammates, Mark Mackenzie, commented on the photo with a reference to Ecclesiastes 4:9-10. The passage says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” Listen to Mackenzie comment on his faith in Christ. MACKENZIE: “The salvation that I have is nothing that I earned; it's a gift. There's nothing else to it. Every day that goes by is a day where I have to look up and say, ‘Thank you, Lord, for seeing me through this.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, June 24th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Today we were thrilled to welcome back Daan Struyven, Co-Head of Global Commodities Research and Managing Director, Head of Oil Research at Goldman Sachs. Daan joined Goldman in 2015 and previously co-led Goldman Sachs' Global Economics team as well as the firm's Canada Economics research effort. Daan and his team recently wrote a report titled “EV Sales Acceleration Poses Downside Risk to Global Oil Demand.” We were pleased to hear Daan's perspective on the report, the acceleration in global EV adoption following the Iran/Hormuz supply disruption, the outlook for global oil demand and oil prices, and what investors should be watching across the broader energy landscape. In our conversation, we explore the key findings from Goldman Sachs' recent research on EV adoption, including how higher fuel prices and concerns around energy security may have accelerated EV sales across several major global markets following the Iran/Hormuz supply disruption. We discuss the significant differences in EV penetration rates around the world, the growing influence of Chinese manufacturers, the importance of charging and power infrastructure, and the role government policy continues to play in shaping adoption trends. We examine the outlook for global oil demand, including Goldman's view that oil demand continues to grow through 2040 despite rising EV adoption, supported by growing energy consumption and the limited availability of substitutes for petrochemical feedstocks and jet fuel. We discuss the recovery of Middle East oil production and exports following the conflict, OPEC supply dynamics, strategic petroleum reserves and stockpiling activity, and why oil prices did not rise as much as many expected during the Iran war disruption. We touch on investor sentiment toward energy markets, China's role as both a major EV market and a stabilizing force in global oil demand through stockpiling behavior, and tightening power markets driven by rising electricity demand from AI and data centers. We also discuss the interplay between future oil prices, power prices, and EV adoption. Finally, we cover advancements in battery technology, the long-term implications for both the energy transition and global commodity markets, and more. We greatly appreciate Daan for sharing his time and perspectives. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that market volatility is becoming more prevalent across asset classes. From a fixed income perspective, the 10-year Treasury yield is holding steady at approximately 4.5%, with traders closely focused on this week's PCE Index as a key inflation indicator, particularly in light of the Federal Reserve's more hawkish tone following last week's FOMC meeting. In equities, he emphasized the increasing volatility observed in recent trading sessions, especially within Big Tech and the Nasdaq, with semiconductor and chip stocks coming under notable pressure and with several declining by more than 10%. He suggested that market leadership may be shifting, as the Nasdaq lags while the Dow Jones Industrial Average demonstrates relative resilience. Turning to commodities, WTI crude has fallen to around $73/bbl, marking its lowest level since the first week of the Iran conflict. WTI has broken below its 200-day moving average, indicating that oil appears “broken” from a technical trading perspective. He also highlighted a rapid shift in market sentiment, moving from concerns about tightening global inventories to fears that OPEC supply could increase sooner and more significantly than expected. In energy equities, he observed that the sector has declined modestly over recent trading days, with Oil Services bearing the brunt of the losses. Electric utilities have outperformed, serving as a temporary safe haven for investors. He ended by pointing out two notable headlines: first, a partnership between Chevron and Microsoft to develop a co-located power facility in West Texas that will supply electricity to a Microsoft-operated data center under a 20-year PPA; and second, the Department of Energy's announcement of $17.5 billion in financing to help incentivize/jump start utilities to order equipment for large-scale nuclear reactors. Ellen Wilkirson made her COBT debut and added her questions and perspective to the discussion as well.
There's a new boss over at the Federal Reserve. Is he going to be any different than the old boss? Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey delved into that question this week. He notes that Warsh certainly sounds different. But he's stepping into the same situation that Jerome Powell left. Mike explains why that will likely limit Warsh's options, meaning the old new boss may end up acting just like the old boss when it's all said and done. Mike also highlights the ever-growing Debt Black hole by breaking down the May federal budget deficit numbers.
P.M. Edition for June 23. Mortgage rates dipped below 6% in February, but geopolitical tensions and a hawkish Federal Reserve have sent rates back up. Journal reporter Nicole Friedman discusses what that means for the rest of 2026, and how the housing market could bounce back from a slump this spring. Plus, the Trump administration is pushing for a nuclear power renaissance. The Energy Department is making $17.5 billion in low-interest loans available to help finance the construction of nuclear reactors. We hear from Jennifer Hiller, who covers the power industry for WSJ, about how the program would work. And the tech selloff deepened today, with the Nasdaq dropping 2.2%.

Tulsi Gabbard dropped a true bombshell confirming what most reasonable Americans already knew: Dr. Anthony Fauci lied, broke the law, and covered it up. Gabbard, who is leaving the office of national intelligence due to her husband's cancer diagnosis, is releasing Fauci's communications, essentially providing the receipts for a massive scandal. But will prosecutions come? In this episode of The Sentinel Report with Alex Newman, we dive into this can't-miss story, plus the resignation of the U.K.'s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Major League Baseball's persecution of Christian athletes, and so much more. Guests joining to analyze the news: The legendary G. Edward Griffin, the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, breaks down the death of former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan and why the Fed is unconstitutional and, frankly, horrible. Next, Phil Linderman, the co-founder and chairman of the Ben Franklin Fellowship and board member at the Center for Immigration Studies, reviews the Trump administration's immigration policies and articulates why the phrase "isolationism" is a pejorative made by internationalists to undermine Americanism. Finally, Titus Blair, the author of Tiny Church, talks all things AI and how Christians should prepare.
The Federal Reserve's latest policy shift under new governor chair Kevin Warsh marks a significant regime change for global markets. With the dot plot revealing two potential rate hikes and a shift away from forward-looking guidance, investors face heightened market uncertainty across stocks, crypto, and real estate. This discussion cuts through the media noise to analyze macro data points, including the geopolitical resolution with Iran, falling energy prices, and the approaching $930 billion commercial debt maturity wall. While mainstream capital retreats to the stock market, sophisticated investors recognize that slow, stale, and sideways markets offer generational opportunities. This episode explains the math behind negative leverage, the critical role of the 10-year Treasury note, and why the absolute best real estate deals are historically secured before rate cuts occur, not after. Discover how to build defensive buffers into your underwriting parameters to transform macroeconomic headwinds into asymmetric long-term wealth. KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDMacroeconomic analysis of Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first FOMC meeting and monetary policy adjustments Geopolitical implications of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding and its impact on global crude oil volatility Understanding the "Fed Trap" and balancing the risks of reigniting inflation versus fracturing economic growth Technical evaluation of the 10-year Treasury note as the foundational gravitational force for commercial lending benchmarks Financial underwriting frameworks for identifying and avoiding negative leverage in a 6% to 7% interest rate environment Strategic management of the upcoming $930 billion maturing commercial real estate debt wall Asset allocation rotation from overvalued equity sectors into distressed, undervalued real estate opportunities KEY TAKEAWAYSLock in your real estate opportunities before the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates. Historically, the most profitable assets are acquired when market sentiment is deeply depressed and capital sits passively on the sidelines. Treat the Federal Reserve's policy decisions as macroeconomic weather rather than an absolute indicator of deal viability. Successful investing relies on strict individual deal underwriting rather than relying on central bank rescue parameters. Address floating-rate debt maturities 12 to 18 months in advance. Initiating proactive refinancing and restructuring conversations with lenders prevents forced liquidations when interest rate environments shift. Implement structural buffers of 50 to 100 basis points above current market rates when modeling new investments. Ensuring a deal cash-flows under restrictive conditions turns future monetary easing into pure financial upside. Monitor the 10-year Treasury note on a weekly basis to filter out short-term market noise. A sustained technical break below the 4% threshold serves as the primary signal that institutional debt conditions are turning positive.
