Fiona Hill — who served on the National Security Council under three presidents and became a household name during Trump's first impeachment — joins the Chuck ToddCast for a deeply alarming assessment of the Iran war now entering its second week, with Operation Epic Fury having metastasized into a multi-front conflict spanning nine countries, oil prices surging past $100 a barrel, and hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded across the Middle East. Hill dismantles the geopolitical chessboard with surgical precision, explaining that while there is no formal alliance between Russia and Iran and that the relationship is deeply transactional, with Iran having provided Russia with Shahed drones and helped build a drone factory. She argues that China is letting the U.S. "rope-a-dope" itself, sitting back alongside Russia to watch America bleed resources and credibility in yet another Middle Eastern quagmire. She flags the glaring double standard in the administration's diplomacy: envoy Steve Witkoff refused to take the Iranians at their word during nuclear negotiations in Geneva but accepted Russian assurances at face value. The conversation turns existential as Hill warns that Trump's adventurism — which never faced serious consequences through Venezuela or the June 2025 strikes that made Iran look like a paper tiger — has now collided with reality. Trump saw the opportunity to kill Khamenei and took it, hoping for either a popular uprising or a pliant successor, but none of those hopes have materialized. Hill calls it an Afghanistan-and-Iraq-level jam with even less global credibility.. They raise the chilling question of whether Xi Jinping might prioritize seizing Taiwan while America is overextended, observes that NORAD doesn't function without Canada and the Nordic countries that Trump has alienated, warns that the damage to America's reputation will last decades, and notes that individual U.S. states are already setting up their own diplomatic representation with foreign countries to fill the vacuum. They close with a striking contrast: unlike Russians, Americans can still vote their way out of tyranny — but the window in which that remains true may be narrowing, as we are likely entering a post-American empire period.

Chuck Todd opens with a grim inventory of an administration besieged on every front as the Iran war enters its twelfth day with no exit strategy in sight. He then pivots to the SAVE Act — the Republican voting bill that has 50 Senate votes but faces a filibuster John Thune admits he likely can't break. He walks through the details that go well beyond simple voter ID: the bill requires documentary proof of citizenship to register, treats women who change their name through marriage as first-time voters, and Trump is demanding additions including a near-total ban on mail-in voting — turning what polls show is an 80%-popular concept into a toxic package that could disenfranchise millions. He notes that John Cornyn flipped his filibuster position to chase Trump's Texas endorsement, warns that if Republicans nuke the filibuster and Democrats later win the Senate they won't restore it, and argues that Republicans are essentially writing legislation to make Trump's false fraud claims real — while Trump is already setting up the SAVE Act's inevitable failure as his preemptive excuse for midterm losses that have nothing to do with voting rules and everything to do with an unpopular war, a tanking economy, and a completely unserious leader running the Pentagon. Ultimately, he argues that partisan changes to voting rule destroy trust in democracy, whether it be the SAVE Act, or Democrats efforts to pass HR1. Then, Fiona Hill — who served on the National Security Council under three presidents and became a household name during Trump's first impeachment — joins the Chuck ToddCast for a deeply alarming assessment of the Iran war now entering its second week, with Operation Epic Fury having metastasized into a multi-front conflict spanning nine countries, oil prices surging past $100 a barrel, and hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded across the Middle East.

They close with a striking contrast: unlike Russians, Americans can still vote their way out of tyranny — but the window in which that remains true may be narrowing, as we are likely entering a post-American empire period.

Mortgage rates aren't just moving… they're skyrocketing — and today we break down why this is happening right now:• Stock markets plunged• Geopolitical unrest (Middle East + Iran risks)• Inflation pressures still lingering• MBS & Treasury yields jumping• What you should do now if you're buying or refinancingWe follow the data — not the headlines — and show you exactly how markets are reacting in real time.

Middle East escalation. Oil surging. Inflation fears reigniting. And mortgage rates are jumping.Today we break down:• Why conflict involving Iran is sending oil prices higher • How rising oil feeds directly into inflation expectations • Why the bond market is selling off instead of rallying • What this means for the 10-Year Treasury • And how all of it impacts YOUR mortgage rateNormally, geopolitical conflict pushes investors into bonds — which lowers mortgage rates.That's not happening.Instead, the market is pricing in higher inflation risk, fewer Fed cuts, and longer-lasting rate pressure.If oil stays elevated, inflation could reaccelerate. If inflation reaccelerates, mortgage rates don't fall.We'll walk through exactly what needs to happen next for rates to stabilize — or drop.Transparent. Data-driven. No hype.

Chuck Todd delivers a searing assessment of a war he calls one of choice, not necessity. He argues that "ends justify the means" sums up everything about Trump's presidency, noting that the rationale for the war has shifted multiple times, there was no smoking gun incident to prompt the strikes, the administration's credibility with the public is extremely low, and Trump's own surrogates spent years warning that Democrats would start a war with Iran. He questions whether the U.S. got boxed in by Netanyahu and whether Trump is simply looking for his own Delcy Rodriguez-style compliant leader in Tehran, pointing out the absurdity of calling on Iran's military to surrender without clarifying to whom. He warns that regime change is a tall order that gives America enormous responsibility it isn't prepared for, that oil prices are set to soar with massive domestic political consequences, and that the prior cuts to Voice of America were a shortsighted mistake now that winning hearts and minds actually matters. He warns that if unilateral executive war-making becomes normalized, America will have fundamentally changed its republic. He closes by pivoting to the Texas primary, where Talarico appears to have momentum heading into election day, Trump has refused to endorse in the GOP race leaving Cornyn exposed, and total primary turnout will serve as a critical bellwether for November's midterms. Then, Rep. Sean Casten — the Illinois Democrat, clean energy entrepreneur, and scientist-turned-congressman who was inspired to run for office by Trump's first election — joins the Chuck ToddCast for a candid and wide-ranging conversation about what's broken in Congress and how to fix it. Casten pulls back the curtain on congressional dysfunction, describing a body increasingly populated by pundits and influencers rather than legislators, where televised hearings reward political theater over policymaking and cabinet secretaries like Scott Bessent feel they don't have to answer to Congress at all. He walks through his grilling of Bessent on the legality of the Venezuelan oil seizure — a moment where the Treasury Secretary had no good answer. Casten warns that congressional weakness is the single biggest issue plaguing the federal government. They debate Chuck’s long-standing position of uncapping the House of Representatives to bring the ratio down to 400-500,000 constituents per member, Casten pitches creating a block of 12 nationally elected senators to serve the national interest, and — most provocatively — stripping the Supreme Court of its self-granted power to set its own docket, a power Congress gave and can take away. He notes that Iceland copied America's government structure and eventually scrapped its senate. He closes by identifying income inequality, AI, and the changing job market as the seminal issues of 2028, warning that if Trump's own supporters prioritize economic concerns, the pitchforks will be coming out. Finally, ahead of the Texas primaries on Tuesday, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit Texas’s declaration of independence from Mexico & the unique forces that shaped the state’s “Lone Star” mentality. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026, MBN was on the road at the Hudson's site in Detroit, for this year's Detroit Policy Conference, put on by the Detroit Regional Chamber. The event centered on the "New Leadership Era," featuring discussions on the city's future, economic development, and regional policy. This interview was with Glenn Stevens, head of MichAuto, and Chief Automotive and Innovation Officer of the Detroit Regional Chamber catching us up on things since we were together at CAR's MBS in September, also in Detroit. MichAuto's 2025 State of Automobility report underscores Michigan's continued leadership in automotive and mobility — yet warns that global competitors, especially China, are gaining ground. Michigan must innovate to maintain its edge in EVs and advanced mobility technologies. MichAuto is calling for urgent, coordinated action to keep Michigan competitive as the auto and mobility industry faces tech disruption, trade uncertainty, and shifting consumer demands. A December convening of industry leaders reinforced the need to innovate now. MichAuto released its new State of Automobility report, urging diversification into AI, automation, and advanced tech. The group is actively advocating for USMCA stability, welcomed updated fuel economy standards for planning certainty, and elevated Michigan's voice nationally and globally through policy, media, and leadership roles.

Denver fix and flip margins are shrinking, condo inventory just hit 11 months, and some DSCR lenders are approving loans at 0.75 debt service coverage. That’s not a typo. For anyone trying to get a clear Colorado real estate outlook for 2026, the signals are mixed — and most of them you won’t find in the MLS. To help make sense of it all, Chris Lopez sits down with Kevin Amolsch, founder of Pine Financial, a Colorado private lender that has originated over $1 billion in loans across 2,800 transactions since 2008. Beyond lending, Kevin is actively buying commercial buildings, demising flex warehouse space in Broomfield, and stripping cellular tower leases off office properties the way some investors strip mineral rights. As a result, he has a front-row seat to what’s actually working — and what’s quietly blowing up. In this episode, Kevin shares what Pine’s current deal flow reveals about the Colorado real estate outlook for 2026 and why he’s moved away from residential toward commercial assets. He and Chris also have a candid back-and-forth on the Denver price forecast — Kevin expecting flat, Chris leaning slightly negative. From there, they dig into why the condo and attached product market may be the riskiest place to be right now. In This Episode We Cover: Why Kevin sees fix and flip margins compressing — and what experienced flippers are doing about it The DSCR loan warning every Colorado investor needs to hear before refinancing a BRRRR Kevin’s honest breakdown of Denver’s 2026 price outlook: detached, attached, and multifamily How Kevin is stripping cellular leases off his office building like mineral rights — and what they sell for Why ground-up townhome development is struggling and what the 11-month condo inventory actually means The 10-year treasury vs. risk spread explained clearly, and what Trump’s MBS buying could actually do Why Kevin is price-checking his subs and vendors right now — and why you probably should be too If you’re trying to get a clear Colorado real estate market outlook for 2026 — and figure out what moves actually make sense right now — this is the episode to listen to.

In this episode of The Wrap, Chris Whalen argues that the AI narrative is stalling and we're witnessing a sustained rotation from tech, AI, and crypto into safer, income-generating stocks. Chris points out that JPMorgan — arguably the best-run bank in America — has fallen from the top of his rankings to 87th place in just six months, a dramatic shift showing managers are rotating into smaller cap names. He describes this as a "manic, momentum-driven market" where the extraordinary gains of 2025 are now being given back. Chris is skeptical of both the AI and crypto narratives, calling them "driven by Wall Street hype," and notes that crypto is suffering specifically because the AI story has broken down. For 2026, he advises looking for safety and income rather than growth, remains long gold and silver despite volatility, and cautions that "this year is going to be a much more difficult year" for most sectors. On housing and the Fed, Chris lays out what Kevin Warsh and Scott Besant must do: swap the Fed's $2 trillion MBS portfolio to Treasury, restructure low-coupon securities into CMOs, and bury them in insurance company balance sheets to unlock the housing market.Links:    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/  Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/   Timestamps:0:00 Welcome and intro 01:00 AI narrative stalling, tech's worst week since November 1:59 Is this a healthy correction or something bigger? 4:58 JPMorgan now ranks 87th — what does that tell you? 6:36 Small caps rule right now — managers rotating to safety 7:30 What does it mean if managers won't own the best bank in America?8:30 The link between crypto and AI 11:32 Chris is skeptical of both AI and crypto narratives 11:57 What's the next legitimate growth story for the US? 13:15 All that trapped private equity capital in tech 14:55 Fannie and Freddie earnings — but where's the growth? 17:00 What Warsh and Bessent need to do to fix housing 19:00 Should the Fed engage in fiscal issues? 21:54 The Fed's real mandate — keeping the Treasury market open 23:00 What should Warsh do with the MBS on the balance sheet? 24:58 Why we haven't seen a typical crash cycle 26:17 What's the trade for 2026?

In this special episode, Andrea is joined by Hello!'s editor and royal correspondent Emily Nash, fresh from the trip, with behind-the-scenes insight into what the tour was really designed to achieve: trade talks, cultural diplomacy, and the long-term relationship-building that comes with being a “king-in-waiting.” 00:00 Intro01:36 Welcome + what you'll learn (Saudi visit + wider royal context)02:30 Why William's Saudi trip mattered diplomatically (trade/defence/culture)03:24 Why Saudi is sensitive and why this visit raised eyebrows04:18 Two “kings in waiting”: William & MBS dynamic05:12 The Epstein file release: what's driving renewed scrutiny07:02 Why William & Kate's statement mattered (and the focus on victims)08:08 Arrival in Saudi: heritage welcome + private audience & dinner09:01 Human rights questions: what can be raised publicly vs privately10:02 Buckingham Palace statement: “ready to help police” and why that's major13:38 Public reaction, heckling, and how the royals read the “national temperature”18:01 On the ground in Saudi: modernisation and what surprised Emily19:02 Women's sport shift: girls' football, national team ambitions, equal pay22:18 AlUla & the desert day: wildlife reserve, Arabian leopard, soft power23:34 The changed programme: walking the old town instead of the cultural hub visit24:40 What happens next + half-term breathing space26:18 Wider Europe: Norway/Sweden royal scrutiny in the Epstein files29:29 Closing thoughts: weathering the storm + sign-off Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Ian Carroll and Alec for a live TWF member Q&A on March 12th. Become a member hereThis episode was recorded prior to the recent Epstein Files release.The mass media have been hiding a lot of things from us, and it's probably worse than you thought…In this episode, I'm joined by Ian Carroll & Chris Crutchfield for a wide-ranging conversation on how modern systems shape perception, behavior, and control. Ian breaks down how banks, asset managers, and corporate structures exert influence not through headlines, but through incentive design and financial leverage. He shares how questioning COVID narratives, financial corruption, and media overload led him to trace power through banking, corporate ownership, and information flows rather than political theater.Chris brings a complementary systems-level perspective, connecting money, energy, trust structures, and dynastic power across history. He reframes currency as current, attention as leverage, and technology as an amplifier of unresolved incentives. Together, we examine why scandals like Epstein distract from deeper networks, how controlled opposition and algorithmic feeds fracture reality, and why humility matters in an era of mass formation and information warfare.This conversation isn't about picking sides. It's about learning how to see the machinery clearly, without letting it claim your identity, attention, or sovereignty.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[09:40] Secret societies and old money families: the power structures that leave money trails[21:56] Currency as electrical energy, human bodies as current, and banking's trust-based control system[39:09] Controlled opposition, COINTELPRO tactics, and verifying information by fruits not trees [52:32] How algorithms control perception, create false realities, and trap you in identity labels[01:10:45] The social media paradox, finding community through devices, and humanity's infant stage with technology[01:24:47] Protecting authenticity over access: why Binder Gate chose influencers over real journalists[01:45:32] Why Charlie Kirk's assassination is the most important story in the world right now[01:57:33] JD Vance as technocratic camp's unwitting front man and the Truman Show presidency[02:20:11] How government biofield manipulation and MK Ultra tactics created the perfect patsy[02:44:26] Maduro's capture with microwave weapons, DOD bio-widgets in every American, and ICE tyranny theater[03:05:48] Vegas shooting blacked out, MBS assassination attempt, and the flip about who really does evilRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Debunking All the Myths About Slavery, Civil Rights, MLK & Ku Klux Klan with Chad O.
