Stijn Schmitz welcomes Doomberg to the show. Doomberg is the Head Writer For The Doomberg Team and the Creator of the Doomberg Substack. Doomberg analyzes the escalating geopolitical risks following the significant damage to Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, a critical artery for crude oil exports. He argues that while the initial closure of the Strait of Hormuz did not cause the expected price shock, the pipeline attack pushes an already stressed system into a red zone, with Brent crude nearing demand destruction levels. The core risk, however, extends beyond oil flows. Doomberg describes Arab Gulf states as metastable constructs propped up by the illusion of U.S. military hegemony. The rapid territorial gains by the Houthis in Yemen represent a potential catalyst for a sudden collapse of this perceived stability, where the common knowledge that a regime is weak can trigger rapid, systemic change. He suggests the possibility of a Saudi leadership crisis, such as MBS fleeing, is a low-probability but enormously consequential event that markets may be underpricing. The discussion shifts to the war in Ukraine, where Doomberg predicts a devastating Russian strike on energy infrastructure, citing public Russian military orders and U.S. intelligence warnings. He notes that attacks on refineries paradoxically cap crude oil prices while causing diesel crack spreads to explode, as refineries are the sole customers for crude. This dynamic, combined with refineries running at dangerous capacity, creates acute tightness in refined products. Doomberg emphasizes that in conflicts, victory often belongs to the side with higher pain tolerance, and he assesses that Iran and the Houthis can endure far more hardship than Western consumers. He warns that the convergence of these crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, alongside reckless rhetoric from NATO-aligned nations, creates a genuine risk of uncontrollable global escalation.

This week on the SUNDAY WIRE, host Patrick Henningsen returns this week with another action-packed episode—as we look back at the 25 year anniversary of the Attacks of September 11, 2001. Also, Yemen's Ansar Allah aka "The Houthis" continue to roll over the Saudi/US-backed proxy forces, as Iran's allies move even closer towards the strategically important Bab al-Mandab Strait. When Saudi's MBS called Trump to help with airstrikes, Trump refused, instead telling the Crown Prince not to worry, "Everything will be fine and dandy." Famous last words?

Genstar Capital and Aksia have made a strategic growth investment in Denver-based Richey May, providing capital to accelerate the accounting and advisory firm's organic growth and M&A strategy while its management team and existing investor F3 Partners retain significant ownership. Robbie interviews Lender Price's Maddi Sievers on tips for success for both companies giving and receiving tech demos. And rising oil prices and renewed inflation concerns pushed Treasury yields and mortgage rates higher, weighing on MBS demand and housing activity as investors await a closely watched Fed decision, with markets pricing in a 90%+ chance of a quarter-point hike.This week's podcasts are sponsored by FirstClose.

GOP leaders throw cold water on AI regulation despite apocalyptic industry warnings. A spreading war threatens Trump and MBS. McConnell returns to the Senate for the first time since his June hospitalization. Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding celebration was partially funded by Russian oligarch, the couple confirms. Mike Lyons, military analyst, gives a Middle East update. Gas prices remain high. Macklemore is dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour over pro-Palestinian comments onstage.

Ghost jumps on for a surprise live show and finds a lot to unpack. He opens with Trump's off the cuff comments on Irish unification during his Ireland trip, which somehow snowballs into Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland signing a joint pact toward independence from the UK, something Ghost frames as a genuine win for local sovereignty rather than the doom certain corners of the internet are selling. He also digs into the Falkland Islands controversy and a wave of Israeli influencer pressure campaigns, plus a Fox Business hypocrisy moment involving Macklemore and Robert Kraft. But the real story is MBS. Houthi forces have seized Saudi coastline, hit an oil pipeline and a refinery, and reportedly pushed MBS to call Trump twice asking for military strikes. Ghost walks through the reporting and lays out why he is skeptical of the narrative that MBS is quietly turning to Israel for help.

Driven by near-year-high interest rates and a lack of borrower incentive, a broadening slowdown in MBA mortgage applications is being led by a sharp, government-borrower-led decline in refinance activity that could ultimately drag monthly gross MBS issuance below $100 billion by the end of the year. Robbie interviews FirstClose's Adam Nicholson on how faster cycle times directly impact pull-through and funded volume. And driven by persistent supply, geopolitical tensions, and an upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield breached 5 percent for the first time since 2023, threatening economic growth and equity markets by independently tightening financial conditions.This week's podcasts are sponsored by FirstClose.

Despite consumer challenges, housing demand remains resilient, with record homeowner equity and rapidly growing borrowing activity increasingly being captured by nonbanks, creating a widening competitive and operational gap for traditional banks and credit unions. Robbie interviews mLoop's Ellen Duncan on how data and AI can modernize LO–lender matching and what lenders must do to attract top producers. And last week's sharp rate selloff, driven by renewed oil-fueled inflation, fiscal concerns, and expectations for multiple Fed hikes, pushed Treasury yields and MBS spreads materially higher, underscoring the need for better loan-level execution and risk visibility as markets brace for another 25-basis point Fed hike this week.This week's podcasts are sponsored by FirstClose.

August prepayments strengthened the view that the 2026 refinance wave has peaked, with Fannie 30-year speeds falling 12 percent to 7.1 CPR and Ginnie II also slowing, leaving subdued near-term runoff and greater extension risk, while higher-coupon VA pools and recent Ginnie vintages remain the key latent prepayment risks if mortgage rates decline materially. Robbie interviews Agile's Greg Vacura on connecting mortgage lenders and broker-dealers to make MBS trading faster, more efficient, transparent, and less reliant on phone-based processes. And rates remain caught between an oversold Treasury market and persistent inflation, fiscal, supply, and geopolitical pressures, with the selloff pushing the 30-year above 5.30 percent and MBS underperforming even after a strong 30-year auction, while rising oil, firm economic data, and a heavy corporate calendar keep the focus squarely on CPI and the Fed's upcoming decision. This week's podcasts are sponsored by NFTYDoor, the white-label HELOC platform for banks, credit unions, and  brokers.

September 11, 2026 - Oil dropped 1.7% today even after Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline went offline (3.5 million barrels a day of exports) and confirmation that Saudi production just hit a 36-year low — supply news that should have sent prices higher. Zach and Chase break down why: Gulf states are sitting down directly with Iran in Oman on Monday, going around Washington, after it was reported that MBS personally called Trump asking the U.S. to bomb the Houthis and was turned down. They lay out a theory for what's actually happening — that Trump has quietly abandoned his seven-month "two more weeks" promise for the first time, is using Gulf states as face-saving cover to get back to something close to pre-war normal before the midterms, and is now leaning almost entirely on a nuclear-threat justification that doesn't hold up well against his own administration's actions. Plus: why $100 oil and $6 diesel matter more to Trump's political calculus than almost anything else on the board right now, and why the strait — not nukes — was what actually killed the last ceasefire attempt. Schedule your complimentary Know Your Risk Portfolio Review at KnowYourRiskRadio.com

Private mortgage insurers say they are operationally and financially prepared for the transition to VantageScore 4.0, but lenders will need to ensure their systems correctly identify and transmit the new credit-score model, while uncertainty around FHFA's potential move away from tri-merge credit reporting and other informal policy changes is creating stress and uncertainty across the GSE mortgage ecosystem. Robbie interviews UWM's Mat Ishbia on UWM's growth, the expansion of the mortgage broker channel, recent financial performance, future plans, key challenges, and how the company defines success. And Treasuries appear technically oversold after strong auction demand but remain vulnerable as investors question how much support Treasury buybacks can provide, while the broad MBS basis widening signals deeper market dislocation and growing concern over mortgage valuations, Treasury supply, and the U.S. fiscal outlook.This week's podcasts are sponsored by NFTYDoor, the white-label HELOC platform for banks, credit unions, and  brokers.

Rocket is again getting ahead of FHFA by raising conforming loan limits early, potentially to around $853,400, giving lenders a competitive opportunity to capture incremental agency volume and pull borrowers from jumbo financing while weighing the funding, hedging, and basis risk of holding those loans until the new limits become officially deliverable. Robbie interviews Curinos' Ken Flaherty and Rich Martin on the growing home-equity opportunity, using speed as a competitive advantage, reaching the next generation of borrowers, and tracking key mortgage-market trends over the next year. And specified payups have compressed in the selloff as weaker MBS valuations, higher volatility, and reduced liquidity diminish the value investors place on prepayment protection, making it important for lenders to use more conservative payup assumptions and avoid relying on historical premiums when pricing and hedging specified production.This week's podcasts are sponsored by NFTYDoor, the white-label HELOC platform for banks, credit unions, and  brokers.

FICO shares fell 17 percent after FHFA Director Bill Pulte immediately expanded mortgage-lender access to rival VantageScore, intensifying competition and raising concerns about FICO's dominance and credit-bureau pricing. Robbie interviews PCV Murcor's David Schiffmayer on the significance of UAD 3.6, who needs to prepare, where organizations should invest, its impact on appraisal efficiency and complexity, and the key misconceptions. And mortgage investors face a challenging higher-rate environment, favoring shorter-duration Fannie 15- and 20-year MBS, while any meaningful rate decline could trigger increased refinancing, especially among newer, higher-coupon mortgage cohorts.This week's podcasts are sponsored by NFTYDoor, the white-label HELOC platform for banks, credit unions, and  brokers.

Mortgage innovation should focus not on digitizing outdated workflows, but on rethinking the loan lifecycle around trusted data, intelligent decisioning, automation, governance, and better borrower experiences to improve risk management and decision-making. Robbie interviews Figure's Alysse Guitar on marketing lending products in a digital environment where both trust and attention spans are waning. And we close with why MBS and Treasuries were largely flat ahead of Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech, with markets focused on Fed policy and September rate-hike expectations, while a solid $44 billion 7-year Treasury auction showed healthy overall demand despite weaker indirect participation.From lenders and landlords to employers and consumers, Experian helps connect the housing ecosystem with the data and insights needed to make faster, confident decisions.

Something strange is happening. The people who used to be Israel's biggest supporters are starting to turn. Conservative voices, MAGA circles, mainstream media … the narrative is shifting, and most people haven't noticed how fast. Mike Evans has. And he has a name for it: boiling frog syndrome. I sit down with Mike Evans, one of the foremost voices on Israel and the Middle East alive today, to get the real picture on what's happening on the ground. We cover the lawfare being waged against Netanyahu, Iran's collapse after losing its proxy network, and the alarming surge of anti-Semitism showing up in places you wouldn't expect, including inside conservative media. Mike also shares a private conversation with MBS, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, that will genuinely surprise you. He breaks down what Christian Zionism actually is and why it's being deliberately misrepresented. And he tells us about the largest prayer gathering in Israel's history and how you can be part of it. If you want to understand what's really happening in Israel, this is the conversation. In this episode: Why the anti-Israel shift in conservative circles should alarm every believer The lawfare being waged against Netanyahu while he's managing a war What MBS privately told Mike about the Jewish people that stopped him cold The real definition of Christian Zionism and why it's under attack right now How God secretly used Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union to arm Israel in 1948 The global prayer gathering mobilizing 5 million intercessors for Israel Join the global prayer gathering at GlobalPrayerEvent.com.

Mystery: It's a Crime, Mr. Collins “Canary-Yellow Sack” 1956 MBS, Screen Guild Theater “The Blue Dahlia” 4/21/49 NBC.

“Jared Kushner is one of the most powerful American diplomats of the twenty-first century — and he has no skill set to speak of that I can see.” — Casey Michel Four years ago, the muckraking journalist Casey Michel came on this show to discuss how the United States has built the greatest money-laundering scheme in history. That pre-Trump 2.0 America, he says, looks quaint. His new book, United States of Oligarchy: How America's Wealthiest Ally with Dictators, Weaken the U.S., and Destroy Democracy, describes an American casino where the Trump family has become the dealer with a perennially stacked deck. The word “oligarchy” comes with 2,500 years of baggage. Aristotle, not averse to aristocracy, nonetheless warned of the rule of the few. Teddy Roosevelt preferred “plutocracy” as a way of describing the baronial rule of the late 19th century American capitalists. And, of course, it took a Roosevelt — the sickly scion of upper-crust New York — to dilute his own oligarchic caste with anti-trust law and inheritance & progressive income taxes. Exhibit A in this American oligarchy is Jared Kushner, who has leveraged his father-in-law's rotten casino to ally with dictators and destroy democracy both in America and around the world. Michel says Kushner has “no skill set to speak of” — apart, of course, from an insatiable greed for wealth and power. The banality of the deal. So what to do? Michel is waiting for a 21st century Teddy Roosevelt — he names Talarico and Ossoff — who will tax and perhaps even prosecute Kushner and his fellow oligarchs. But I fear he is waiting for Godot. Teddy isn't coming back. Nor is FDR. Don't expect the banality of the current highly lucrative deal to end anytime soon. Five Takeaways •       Child's Play. The anonymous shell companies and mystery donations of American Kleptocracy — dire enough in 2022 — now read as quaint. The scale has exploded (crypto, prediction markets, AI as accelerant), and so has the shamelessness: a Qatari luxury airliner gifted to a sitting president, and a $1.8 billion slush fund that will compensate January 6 rioters while granting Trump's family, inner circle, and “associates” carte blanche from tax audits, past and future. America has had corrupt administrations — Grant, Harding, Nixon — but nothing, Michel argues, on this magnitude. Trump himself is symptom rather than cause: the culmination of trends decades in the making. “Shameless does not begin to describe it. I have to laugh — otherwise, I'm sure I'd just be crying.”•       From Aristotle to the Trillionaire. Aristotle popularized oligarchy: rule of the few — who must also be the wealthiest. Teddy Roosevelt preferred “plutocracy,” and the Founders fought over “aristocracy”; Michel meets the 2020s where they are. The through line he found in the research: America's anti-oligarchic champions come from inside the elite — above all TR, the sickly, bloodlet, electroshocked child of upper-crust New York who grew into the singular force against concentrated wealth: inheritance tax, progressive income tax, and a bully pulpit used without apology. Today's benchmark: Gilded Age fortunes — Rockefeller's $30 billion in modern terms — are pocket change beside centibillionaires and America's first, briefly minted trillionaire.•       Exhibit A: Jared Kushner. One of the most powerful American diplomats of the twenty-first century — Israel and Gaza, Russia and Ukraine, the Gulf — with, in Michel's judgment, no skill set to speak of: a string of failures from 666 Fifth Avenue to the New York Observer, redeemed by the single best thing he ever did, marrying Ivanka Trump. MBS bragged Kushner was “in his pocket”; James Comer told an intermediary to tell him to fuck off — making Kushner, Michel suggests, a genuinely bipartisan target for future investigations. Andrew pushed back — the network of autocrats is real, the Harvard degree is real — and the conversation settled on Arendt: not evil, but indifferent to good and evil. What Kushner cares about: Ivanka and her father, his bottom line, and carrying water for Benjamin Netanyahu.•       The Incentive Machine. Michel's deeper argument indicts structures, not sinners: virtually none of this is illegal, which is precisely the problem. Corporate secrecy, campaign finance, and offshore taxation build an architecture in which allying with dictators is the rational move — if your competitor will meet MBS or Xi, you must too. Hence the corporate class's standing ovation for Xi Jinping in San Francisco; Google's Project Dragonfly censorship engine; Musk's Tesla leverage in Beijing (and DOGE actions conspicuously in Chinese interest); the NBA's progressive branding beside its Rwandan and Emirati partnerships; and Ireland, the thriving democracy at the bottom of the tax-haven barrel. Michel is happy to call the CCP one of history's most monstrous regimes — and to note that no ideology, only rank financial interest, lays American CEOs at its feet.•       Waiting for Teddy. Does oligarchy actually weaken America? Michel points to the Iran war's aftermath — collapsed interceptor stocks, an intact Tehran regime, Gulf monarchs getting their dirty business done at American expense — plus Greenland threats, wobbling alliances, and the nuclear proliferation he expects among abandoned allies. Andrew pressed the counter-case three times: Wall Street at record highs, half of America holding retirement accounts. Michel's answer: inequality beyond anything in the national experience — and a political moment, left and right, hungry for anti-oligarchic leadership. The GOP just moved to kill the shell-company database; the remedy is a twenty-first-century TR — a Talarico, an Ossoff — willing to be denounced as a communist agitator. “If Teddy Roosevelt can be, I suppose anyone can.” About the Guest Casey Michel is an author, investigative journalist, and director of the Combating Kleptocracy Program at the Human Rights Foundation. He is the author of American Kleptocracy — named by The Economist one of the best books for understanding financial crime — and Foreign Agents, and his writing on offshoring, foreign lobbying, and illicit wealth appears in The New York Times, Financial Times, The Atlantic, and Foreign Affairs, among others. He has testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on illicit financial networks and national security, holds a master's from Columbia's Harriman Institute, and is currently sanctioned by the Russian regime for his work. United States of Oligarchy (St. Martin's Press, August 4, 2026) is his third book. References: •       United States of Oligarchy by Casey Michel (St. Martin's Press, Augu...

America's oligarchs are selling the country for parts. What happens when the people finally reach a breaking point? This week, Gaslit Nation is joined by Casey Michel, author of the new book United States of Oligarchy, for a chilling, and ultimately empowering, look at how extreme wealth, floods of money from our foreign adversaries, and decades of dismantled anti-corruption laws brought American democracy to the brink. Michel is a longtime investigator of kleptocracy and authoritarian influence sanctioned by Russia. His new book examines how America's wealthiest people have allied themselves with dictators while weakening democracy at home as major law firms and media jump aboard the gravy train.  At the center of our conversation is oligarchy poster child Jared Kushner and his extraordinary record of failing upward: from buying and hollowing out the once-revered New York Observer, to the disastrous $1.8 billion purchase of the ominous 666 Fifth Avenue, to the billions in foreign sovereign wealth invested in his private-equity firm after his years shaping American foreign policy–a grift he continues today as our shadow Secretary of State.  Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund invested $2 billion in Kushner's Affinity Partners shortly after he left the White House, even after the fund's own advisers reportedly raised serious concerns about the firm. Kushner had cultivated a close relationship with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who killed dissident and Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi. Kushner even reportedly passed on sensitive intel about Khashoggi to MBS.  Casey explains how corporations accumulated political power, how post-Watergate anti-corruption reforms were dismantled, and why today's concentration of wealth makes the original Gilded Age look quaint. Most importantly, we discuss the reforms that could break oligarchic power and how ordinary people can take back the country from the Epstein Class. Listen or watch now for a clear-eyed guide to who bought America, how they did it, and how we take it back. In this week's bonus show, our conversation continues with the practical question: How do we smash an oligarchy? Casey examines the pressure building beneath America's kleptocratic system, the reforms still available to us, and what history tells us happens when ruling elites refuse to change. Despair is what oligarchs want.

Science Fiction: Quiet, Please “Northern Lights” 1/30/49 MBS, X Minus One “The Coffin Cure” 11/21/57 NBC.

Mortgage rates are holding steady today even after a rough ADP jobs report showed only 44,000 private payroll jobs created, well below the 100,000 needed to keep the labor market on track. At the same time, stocks are soaring toward record highs, oil markets are reacting to another tanker strike tied to the Iran conflict, and the bond market is absorbing a massive wave of Treasury, corporate, and mortgage debt. In today's episode I break down why mortgage rates aren't moving despite all this noise, what the MBS (mortgage bond) market is telling us, and what the Federal Reserve is watching heading into their next meeting.CHAPTERS 0:00 Breaking News: Jobs Report Miss and Oil Tanker Strike 1:40 Only 44,000 Jobs Created, What It Means For Your Rate 3:20 Bond Market Explained: Treasuries, Corporate Debt and MBS 6:00 Stocks Soar, Oil Tanker Struck, Why Rates Aren't Moving 8:45 Fed Rate Cut Odds, Iran War Impact and What To Watch NextRead the full breakdown on the blog: https://www.therateupdate.com/blog/the-daily-rate-update-august-5-2026-stocks-soar-but-rates-get-better

The New York Fed released a troubling report detailing the risk of Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) exposure in the insurance industry. Over the past several years, private equity has taken larger and larger stakes in insurers who are historically risk averse. But now they’re acting more like hedge funds in their investment strategies and have more than $2 trillion in corporate debt exposure and nearly $300 billion of it is in mezzanine financing packaged much in the way mortgage backed securities (MBS) were in the run up to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Against the backdrop of persistent inflation, a renewed round of tariffs, elevated oil prices, the war in Iran and historic consumer debt, the economy is like a tinderbox. The jelly bean theory holds that you can only reach into the jar so many times before you eventually pick the black jelly bean.

July 22, 2026Rep Jim McGovern spoke about the state of the Republican Party on the floor of the House, The speech called the party out for falling back on the communist label to divert attention from the economy and from what is happening in the party more broadly, McGovern charged that the Republican Party has become the party of fascism, Fascism rejects the equality that defines democracy, It elevates a single man to be an all powerful dictator, Scholars have noted that such demagogues depend on a disaffected population, who focus on someone to hate, Fascism aligns the government and favored businesses as business activity is subordinated to the needs of the government, Trump has approved a deal to provide Saudi Arabia with a civilian nuclear program, This project is worth billions in contracts for US firms, MBS, Saudi's crown prince, has declared he will build a nuclear weapon if Iran does, making this deal a blow to nuclear nonproliferation.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe
