Today's Headlines: A FlyDubai pilot stabbed his co-pilot mid-flight, the plane nosedived 17,000 feet in under two minutes, and six passengers stormed the cockpit to overpower him before an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. In adjacent news, the UK confirmed "strong indications" that Iran was behind last weekend's suspected bomb plot at the military base used by the US during the Iran war, which Iran denied, because of course they did. Pete Hegseth gave his "State of the Force" address to hundreds of troops, laying out his military vision as "no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps — clowns are out, cowboys are in," called reporters covering the Iran war "anti-American losers" and accused them of treason, and unveiled a new autonomous warfare drone command called AutoWarCom set to be operational by October 2027, with Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich appointed to study the future of warfare under something called Project Meridian. The FTC opened an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies over product risks — one day after they were all at Trump's AI lunch table. Trump began sending $500 checks to almost a million people just before the midterms, with a letter about his healthcare record enclosed, because nothing says policy achievement like a check arriving six weeks before an election. And the Massachusetts AG released a report finding 270 Catholic clerics across three dioceses were accused of abusing 944 children over several decades — the first full public accounting since the Boston Globe's Spotlight investigation — with no new indictments possible due to statutes of limitations.

As the fight for Congress grows more tense, the difference between victory for Red or Blue may hinge on the MAHA movement.

RFK Jr. may still be their charismatic leader, but he's not on the ballot. Theodore Ross sits down with three great FERN reporters — Jill Filipovic, Jane Black, and Teresa Cotsirilos — to get their take on where the movement is headed and which party benefits now that food politics is driving the debate. This interview is part of FERN's special series, “MAHA and the Midterms,” in partnership with Mother Jones and Politico.

As investors look toward the U.S. midterm elections, the biggest question is what could change. Our Head of U.S. Public Policy Research Ariana Salvatore outlines the signals worth watching. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Head of U.S. Public Policy Research at Morgan Stanley. Today, I'll be talking about the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. It's Wednesday, September 30th, at 10am in New York. As the elections inch closer, investors are increasingly asking about potential ramifications. We just put out a deep dive covering our expectations, and we arrive at four key takeaways. The first, midterms are unlikely to change the core executive-led policy agenda. As we've been noting for some time, a lot of the policy uncertainty that markets have dealt with since the beginning of 2025 has actually come from the executive branch rather than Congress. Tariffs, trade policy, deregulation, immigration, and export controls are all variables that are going to remain within the White House's authority. So even if control of Congress changes, we don't think investors should assume that those parts of the policy agenda simply go away. Where Congress actually matters more is on fiscal policy. But even there, the range of outcomes is relatively narrow. The main differences revolve around the timing of scheduled SNAP and Medicaid cuts, defense spending, and how future government funding and debt limit negotiations evolve. So, that's our first takeaway. Midterms can change the mechanics of governing, but probably not the broader direction of the executive agenda. That means policy uncertainty, at least across those vectors I mentioned, is likely to stay high. Takeaway number two, we'd be careful about treating the midterms as a direct signal for the 2028 presidential election. Historically, what we see is the issues that dominate a midterm don't necessarily translate to the next presidential race. Looking at the six midterm-to-presidential cycles since 1994, the top-ranked issue changed in five of them. And the issue that ultimately proved decisive in the presidential election was actually already visible at the midterm in only two of the six cases. What elections can tell us, however, is where some of the policy fault lines are beginning to form. We're watching four debates in particular in that context: the fiscal and Social Security debate, individual tax landscape, restrictions on data center development, and healthcare. In our view, across those variables, the useful signal isn't simply which party wins more seats. It's which versions of these policies are beginning to gain traction with voters and within the parties themselves. That actually brings us to takeaway number three. AI is one area where the midterms could matter, but mainly through data center policy rather than broad AI regulation. We think it's important to separate those two issues. So first, on data centers, we do see midterms as a catalyst. And that's because many of the most important policy levers sit at the state and local level: permitting, siting, grid interconnection, large load electricity rates, and tax incentives. So that means that the governorships, utility commissions, and state legislatures can actually have a much more immediate effect on the pace and the location of the build-out than Congress itself. In that vein, our base case remains a conditional build-out, meaning the expected level of AI CapEx can continue. But likely it's going to increasingly concentrate in locations where developers can address concerns around things like electricity costs, infrastructure, water, and community impacts. Broader AI safety regulation is different. Here, we think government configuration actually matters less, and that's because we see comprehensive federal legislation as pretty unlikely in the near term, absent a high salience event or incident. So congressional control is not necessarily the key driver. And finally, takeaway number four: for markets, we see more micro implications than macro ones. For equities, the composition and cohesion of the congressional majority can matter for individual sectors. Congress that's able to negotiate changes to scheduled SNAP or Medicaid cuts, for example, could have implications for consumer and healthcare companies. AI related sectors could also respond to changes in expectations and sentiment pertaining to data center restrictions. For rates, the key question is whether the election produces fiscal outcomes that materially change expected deficits. United Republican control would be the only outcome preserving reconciliation as a potential vehicle. Divided government, conversely, would narrow the scope for new legislation and put more emphasis on funding and debt limit negotiations. And for the dollar, our strategists see the transmission mechanism running primarily through U.S. yields and the growth outlook rather than the election itself. So, bottom line, we don't think the 2026 midterms are likely to produce a wholesale change in the policy or macro backdrop. But there will be important lessons to pick up along the way. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen. And share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into breaking news about an apparent terrorist attack by a pilot on a plane with many Israeli passengers, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) endorsing Democrats in the midterm elections, Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt stumbling badly in his questioning of former Special Counsel Jack Smith, and the latest intensely negative ads.First, they discuss the breaking news of a FlyDubai flight that nearly crashed after a co-pilot allegedly stabbed the pilot and sent the plane into a dive before he was subdued by passengers, many of whom were Israeli. Next, they have fun with the IRGC telling Americans to vote for Democrats. It also lies about the Iranian nuclear program and whines about being on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations. Jim says this would not be the first time terrorists or their sponsors injected themselves into a U.S. election.Then, they cringe as Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt's efforts to link former Special Counsel Jack Smith to the Trump probe in Fulton County, Georgia, fall apart when he (or his staff) confuse the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Jim and Greg also address the Senate Judiciary Committee revealing the Smith probe collected communications from reporters of many different media organizations.Finally, they have more fun with the fierce attack ads against the Bears and Jets heading into Sunday's game.Please visit our great sponsors:Trees.comGet additional 20% better plants and better growing at Trees.dom using code MARTINI at checkout.Visit https://Trees.com  Now's the perfect time to plant - let's grow together.Human CoalitionIt only takes a monthly donation of $26 to create a life-saving moment.

Paul Rieckhoff joins the MSNBC table with Nikki McCann Ramirez of Rolling Stone and former Harris senior advisor Mike Nellis to break down the political sucking chest wound of Trump's Iran war — and how it is bleeding into every corner of the 2026 midterms. From Texas, where Republicans are burning nine figures to defend a state that was never supposed to be competitive, to Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, and Alaska, where independent veterans are running as kryptonite to GOP incumbents, this is the clearest read yet on why Trump is now more unpopular with true independents than Nixon at the height of Watergate. Then MSNBC Pentagon reporter Priya Sridher joins with exclusive reporting on the USS Lincoln, the carrier that just broke a modern deployment record, at least eight suicide attempts in the strike group, and a 19-year-old sailor charged with malingering after jumping overboard. Paul connects the dots: an abused force, an unauthorized war, a Pentagon purging 20% of its generals and admirals, and a political class — in both parties — that still hasn't figured out how to stop any of it.

On this week's Political Breakfast, we fast-forward past the November midterm elections and land in 2028. Democratic U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock: their names have been tossed around for a possible run for President. Warnock was pressed about it at a recent event. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson interpret his vague answer with host Lisa Rayam. Plus, the latest with GOP Congressman Mike Collins' campaign for Ossoff's U.S. Senate seat. Can Collins maintain Trump's support while also appealing to Georgia voters who do not identify strongly with Trump? And against the advice of fellow Republicans in Georgia, Trump continues to focus on widespread claims of election fraud. Now Trump and his allies are sparking fears about non-citizen voters influencing the November midterm elections. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens if Republicans get crushed in November? Political scientist Seth Masket joins me to game out where the GOP goes after a midterm wipeout, and where it could take the rest of us.The polls suggest a blue wave is building, and Republicans have started putting a little distance between themselves and an unpopular president. But Seth's research shows that Democrats over-correct after they lose, while Republicans under-correct, and lately some deny the loss happened at all. So does a big defeat finally break Trump's hold on the party, or do Republicans end up needing him even more?In this episode:The one time Trump's favorability with Republicans actually dropped. It wasn't January 6th or his conviction.Why the window for Republicans to criticize Trump closes soon after November 3rdA Trump endorsement was worth about 16 points in 2022 GOP primariesIs Trump a "Giffen good" for Republican politicians? Seth grades my theory live.Three reasons Republicans stay loyal: primaries, political violence, and policyThe Nikki Haley third of the party that is waiting for Trump to leave the stageCould Rubio or Vance hold together both MAGA voters and traditional Republicans?What Democrats are learning, or not learning, from 2024Why corruption could be Democrats' strongest issue once they have subpoena powerOur midterm predictions: CO-8 and MO-2Seth Masket is a political scientist at the University of Denver and the author of The Elephants in the Room and Learning from Loss.

Deroy Murdock joins Annie Frey to expose the Left's "non-stop impeachment" plan for the midterms. With the midterms approaching, the stakes have never been higher. Fox News contributor and Project 21 ambassador Deroy Murdock returns to The Annie Frey Show to break down what happens if Democrats regain Congress.

Simon Lack sees upside risk to oil prices with crude potentially pushing above $100 as the White House holds back action until after the midterm elections. He says China remains a swing buyer that calibrates purchases based on price, and views US energy exporters as the big winners since America is a reliable supplier with rising volumes in any scenario. He also warns a diesel export ban would backfire and push gasoline prices higher domestically.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Glenn and Jason discuss why they believe Iran is close to a full collapse. President Trump announced a major investment in building steel mills in America, allocating $15 billion. Glenn breaks down what that means and how it will benefit the entire country. America is pouring trillions of dollars into an AI build-out that is bigger than railroads or interstates. At the same time, interest rates are at a record high. Glenn warns that if these investments don't pay off, the taxpayer will be the ones who have to pay. Glenn speaks with Donald Johnson and his daughter, Amy, about how GoFundMe deleted their campaign to help pay for Don's wife's cancer treatment. Glenn's co-author of "The Great Reset" and "Dark Future," Justin Haskins, is back to dive deeper into a new poll showing a dangerous ideology younger Americans are falling for. Five men arrested for a potential terrorist plot at a U.S. bomber base were released on bail. Glenn breaks down possible theories, including that police used them as bait to catch whoever hired them, or that the case is thinner than officials first claimed. Learn more about your ad choices.
