LikeFolio's Landon Swan outlines a bearish outlook on General Motors (GM) ahead of earnings, citing weakening consumer demand, particularly for EVs and China-made vehicles. While GM's low valuation and buyback program may appeal to investors, Swan argues the company's moves into defense and AI could be distracting from its core automotive business at a critical time.======== 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

On today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, commercial fisherman and Morro Bay resident Lori French described an industry struggling under mounting regulations, shrinking infrastructure, and declining opportunities for the next generation of fishermen. Drawing comparisons to many of the challenges facing California agriculture, French said commercial fishing has become increasingly difficult as regulations continue to expand while access to productive fishing grounds continues to shrink. French said the numbers tell the story. California issued nearly 6,000 commercial fishing licenses in 2020, but that number has dropped to just over 3,200. Commercial vessel registrations have also declined significantly, while fish landings in Morro Bay have fallen dramatically over the past decade. The result, she said, has been the loss of processors, fuel docks, marine supply businesses, and skilled workers that once supported coastal fishing communities. "It's becoming harder every year to make a living," French explained, noting that uncertainty has driven many young people—including fishermen's own children—to pursue careers outside the industry despite growing up on commercial fishing boats. One of French's biggest concerns is California's continued expansion of marine protected areas. She pointed to a proposed protected area off Morro Bay that she says could eliminate access to some of the region's most productive commercial and recreational fishing grounds. According to French, the proposal threatens not only commercial fishermen but also hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, bait shops, and other businesses that depend on recreational anglers visiting the Central Coast. The discussion also highlighted similarities between California's fishing and farming industries. French, who grew up on a family farm in the San Joaquin Valley and now helps manage a small avocado orchard on the Central Coast, said both industries face increasing paperwork, regulatory burdens, and water-related challenges. "We're all food producers," French said. "Farmers are not the bad guys, and fishermen are not the bad guys." Food security became another central theme of the interview. French estimated that well over 80 percent of the seafood consumed in the United States is imported, despite America's extensive coastline and abundant fisheries. She argued that imported seafood often comes from countries operating under far different labor and environmental standards than U.S. producers, placing domestic fishermen at a competitive disadvantage. French also discussed California's salmon fishery, which recently reopened after multiple years of closures but now operates under limited fishing windows and statewide harvest caps. While she supports sustainable fisheries management, she said decisions should be based on sound science rather than litigation and politics. Despite the industry's challenges, French remains optimistic that California's commercial fishing fleet can recover with practical reforms. She welcomed recent federal efforts to place commercial fishing under USDA programs and expressed hope that policymakers will recognize commercial fishermen as an important part of America's food security system alongside farmers and ranchers. "We're part of the food security of the United States," French said. "We just need the opportunity to do our jobs." Listen to the full interview below or on your favorite podcast app.

“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”This presentation by Joel Bergman outlines the key processes shaping the class struggle in Canada. The changing world situation, and in particular the relative decline of US Imperialism, leaves Canadian capitalism in a dead end. Mounting government debt, a looming recession, inflation, and low productivity weigh heavy on Canada's economy. Carney is stuck with an economy which is uncompetitive and which requires massive investment. In order to invest, the capitalists are demanding cuts to wages, social programs, and public spending. This will inevitably push the working class to defend against attacks on their standard of living. The road is being prepared for class battles ahead. The fault lines of capitalism are beginning to crack. This is being expressed through the rise of separatism in Alberta, renewed talk of Quebec independence, and the heating up of the Indigenous movement. Everywhere, people are looking for ideas, for answers. Canada is broken, and someone will be made to pay for the crisis. The question is, "who pays?"This presentation served as the introduction to a discussion on "Canada and the new world order", as part of the Third congress of the RCP. The discussion was based around our 2026 perspectives document (linked below), which was amended and approved by the congress.
Saturday marks the final game of the 2026 season for the United Football League. The UFL’s United Bowl III kicks off at 2PM CDT Saturday on ABC. Spring professional football’s championship game will take place in Washington, DC at Audi Stadium. The hometown DC Defenders (7-4) defend their 2025 UFL title against the upstart expansion Louisville Kings (also 7-4). Abundant sunshine and a steamy 90 degrees will greet the players and fans at Saturday’s championship game to end the UFL’s third season. There will likely be a good crowd of more than 15,000 in the stands (the stadium holds 20,000) and a television audience of more than 1 million watching on ABC. At some point soon, the UFL owners will meet to review the season and make decisions about the future. Let’s give a preview of what I think that meeting will entail. A review of the 2026 UFL season – the OK, the “Meh”, and the downright ugly The third year for any new business should show its owners that the venture is making positive strides. If the business is not already profitable, the annual losses should be getting smaller by the year as the business gains favor with the buying public. For the UFL, those primary measures are home team attendance (and revenues) and national television ratings. Let’s start with the Ugly. Home attendance dropped again in 2026 Each of the eight UFL teams played five home games in the 10-game regular season. The St. Louis Battlehawks (playing in a 60,000 domed football stadium) drew more than 23,000 per game to lead the UFL in home attendance once again in 2026. Despite the positive attendance, the cost for the lease at the Dome at America’s Center (formerly known as the Edward Jones Dome) in St. Louis is also likely the highest paid by the UFL. The expansion Louisville Kings came in second with more than 11,000 fans per home opener. Another expansion franchise, the Columbus Aviators finished third with 10,362 paying customers per home game in 2026. The other five UFL franchises failed to average 10,000 fans per game with the two Texas teams (Dallas and Houston) coming in last with 6,185 and 5,683 per game respectively. Birmingham (which plays in UAB’s home football stadium) and St. Louis played their home games in traditional football stadiums. The other six UFL franchises played the 2026 season in smaller soccer venues. Lease costs for these soccer stadiums are lower than the cost of most traditional football stadiums. Home television viewers are less likely to be turned-off by seeing small crowds if played in a 20,000 seat soccer stadium. The UFL home team attendance figures have declined in each of the league’s three seasons. The 2024 season produced an average of 12,800 fans. In 2025, the UFL dropped to 12,168 per game. This year’s 10,500 average marked a 14% decline from 2025. Ouch. It means that the public (even with affordable ticket prices of $20-30 available) simply is not very excited about the UFL’s on-field product. Now for the “Meh” – Television ratings in 2026 were relatively flat vs. 2025 I remember reading an article a few years ago which claimed that the UFL needed to draw more than one million television viewers per game in order to have a chance to turn a profit. Well, that didn’t happen again this year, either. The Friday night prime time game on FOX produced consistent numbers. The ratings showed a reliable audience of 600-700,000 viewers on Friday nights during the 7PM to 10PM Central time period. That may sound good until you know the rest of the story. The FOX Friday night audience for UFL games was mired in last place all season when compared to programming on competitors CBS, NBC, and ABC. FOX Sports (a part-owner of the UFL) cannot be pleased with their investment after three seasons. Ditto for Disney’s ESPN brand. The sports giant also owns a piece of the UFL. They televised one or more weekly UFL games via ESPN and/or corporate affiliate, ABC. The 2026 ratings for the Saturday and Sunday UFL games on ABC continue to show the highest viewership. At least four regular season games on ABC topped the one million mark during the first nine weeks of the UFL season. That meant only 11% of the first nine weeks of UFL games in 2026 produced a television audience of one million or more. If the league’s original goal was to reach one million viewers per televised game, the UFL continues to fall woefully short of that target. The “OK” – the spring football league continues to innovate and try harder UFL ownership includes the aforementioned FOX Sports and ESPN along with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, his ex-wife Dany Garcia, Redbird Capital Partners, and billionaire Mike Repole. Repole bought his way into the UFL following the 2025 season. His ownership percentage and who he purchased it from have yet to be disclosed. It has been new owner Mike Repole who pushed to move UFL teams into smaller soccer venues in 2026. He also gave the green light to relocate UFL franchises away from San Antonio, Memphis, and Detroit in favor of Columbus (OH), Louisville, and Orlando for this season. Those three non-NFL cities produced slightly improved attendance figures and saved money with significantly lower lease costs. However, none of the three teams turned a profit based on their gate receipts. Despite his personal energy, Mike Repole’s promotional skills and tinkering with the UFL simply hasn’t paid off. League attendance went down in 2026 while television ratings were flat. The effort is commendable. The UFL’s massive annual losses, though, continue. What should the UFL owners do at their next meeting following the 2026 season? Let’s make an assumption that the UFL loses (just my guess here) $50 million in 2026. That would mark the third consecutive year of significant losses for the latest spring football experiment. Non-corporate UFL owners such as Dwayne Johnson and his ex-wife, Dany Garcia, should be ready to exit as owners by now. They cannot be pleased with losing millions of their own money every year. The cash losses by the UFL show no sign of abatement should the league continue into 2027. Johnson and Garcia lost big bucks with the XFL, too. They have now been losing even more money with the UFL for three seasons. Why should they stick around? Redbird Capital Partners might fly away at the next owner’s meeting, too. The private equity investor claims over $10 billion in managed assets. Redbird’s website currently displays the UFL as one of 36 different major investments for the company. The UFL’s continuing annual losses are a negative. Don’t be surprised if they, too, wish to move on at the next UFL owners meeting. FOX Sports may have a different perspective on the UFL. The NFL on FOX could end within the next five years at the end of the network’s latest contract. FOX Sports could, perhaps, envision the UFL becoming a potential future fall competitor for the NFL. The fledgling American Football League of the 1960’s did it. However, it took ten years for the NFL to eventually gobble-up their competitor. Let’s say that I’m wrong about FOX Sports’ long-term thinking on the UFL. They really don’t need the UFL for programming and might be ready to pull the plug at the next owners meeting. How are ESPN and ABC feeling about the UFL right now? Mounting annual losses by the UFL are (effectively) petty cash for Disney. The current spring positioning of the UFL season fills a major weekend programming need for ESPN and ABC. There aren’t a lot of major sports events available to fill air time on ESPN from April through June. An important item to remember is that the NFL sold its NFL Network to ESPN earlier in 2026 in return for a 10% ownership stake in ESPN. ESPN and ABC must now seriously consider doing whatever the NFL wants with respect to the UFL. They could vote to stick with the UFL or decide to shut it down for good this summer. That leaves the enthusiastic billionaire UFL investor Mike Repole. Repole jumped into the UFL dumpster fire with both feet last year. Most billionaires get rich by being very shrewd in business. I suspect that Mike Repole (if he sticks around for another year or more) sees the UFL eventually becoming a partner with the NFL down the road. He appears to be a risk-taker willing to swing for the fences. Should the NFL ever decide to invest in the UFL as a spring football partner, Mike Repole’s investment gamble could pay off handsomely. Than again, the NFL has plenty of its own billionaire owners, too. Their luxury cruise liner isn’t likely to throw a life preserver to Mike Repole or any of his other UFL ownership partners anytime soon. The UFL’s third year financial condition reminds me of a 1977 Harry Chapin song. “The Dance Band on the Titanic” featured some rather clever lyrics and an upbeat melody. In the musical version, the ship’s band was trying to create a musical diversion just as the massive boat began to sink. One line of the song says,“The iceberg’s on the starboard bow – Won’t you dance with me?” This next meeting of the UFL owners is likely to be a dandy.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly defended the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, insisting that the department has complied with legal requirements to release materials tied to the case. He stated that investigators have already disclosed all documents that can be made public under the law, while maintaining that Epstein's death in federal custody was ruled a suicide despite acknowledged procedural failures at the jail. Blanche also indicated that while the case is technically still open, any additional charges or actions would depend on the emergence of new, substantiated evidence rather than speculation or public pressure.At the same time, the situation is drawing increasing criticism from lawmakers and observers who argue that the disclosures have been incomplete, overly redacted, and lacking transparency about Epstein's broader network. Some members of Congress and outside critics suggest that key information may still be withheld, fueling suspicions about the extent of institutional accountability. Blanche pushed back on those claims, arguing that legal constraints—such as protecting victims and avoiding the release of unverified allegations—limit what can be made public. The clash reflects a widening gap between official assurances that the matter has been handled appropriately and ongoing demands for deeper disclosure and accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Deputy AG Blanche defends DOJ's work on Epstein case ahead of closed-door Hill briefing | CNN Politics

International peacekeeping missions are in peril due to global geopolitical deadlock, funding issues and declining personnel numbers, according to a recent report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Just under 79,000 personnel were deployed in international peacekeeping missions at the end of last year, its lowest level in 25 years. The study says missions managed by the United Nations have been affected most seriously. What could be the consequences of a significant weakening of multilateral conflict management? Can this trend be reversed?

Hour 1: It's a gloomy day in San Francisco, and the Giants are feeling just as down in the dumps. The team's struggles on the field have left fans feeling frustrated, and the rain pouring down outside seems to be a fitting metaphor for the team's performance. In this episode, the hosts dive into the latest developments with manager Tony Vitello, discussing the team's woes and what might be to blame. The conversation touches on the team's poor base running, defense, and overall lack of cohesion. The hosts question whether Tony Vitello is the right man for the job, given the team's struggles, and whether he's doing enough to turn things around. They also discuss the role of the players, including the likes of Matt Chapman and Luis Arraez, and whether they're living up to expectations. The hosts also take a closer look at the team's third base coach, Hector Borg, and whether he's the right man for the job. With the team's struggles on the field, it's clear that something needs to change, but what that change might look like is still up for debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The conversation touches on the team's poor base running, defense, and overall lack of cohesion. The hosts question whether Tony Vitello is the right man for the job, given the team's struggles, and whether he's doing enough to turn things around. They also discuss the role of the players, including the likes of Matt Chapman and Luis Arraez, and whether they're living up to expectations. The hosts also take a closer look at the team's third base coach, Hector Borg, and whether he's the right man for the job. With the team's struggles on the field, it's clear that something needs to change, but what that change might look like is still up for debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The AgNet News Hour focused on growing pressure facing California agriculture as water restrictions, rising fuel costs, and the collapse of a major peach processing operation continue creating uncertainty for farmers statewide. One of the biggest topics during the program was the fallout from Del Monte shutting down operations in the Modesto area, leaving thousands of tons of cling peaches without a market. The closure has already triggered major concern throughout California's stone fruit industry. “There's still roughly 50,000 tons of fruit that they don't have a market for,” hosts explained during the broadcast. The situation could result in the removal of hundreds of thousands of peach trees, creating long-term consequences for family farms and future supply. USDA emergency assistance funding is now being discussed to help growers transition or remove orchards, but many farmers worry the damage may already be severe. “Some of these family farms might take years, if not a full generation, to recover,” the show noted. The episode also featured an extended interview with Western Tree Nut Association President and CEO Roger Isom, who outlined major concerns surrounding California agriculture heading deeper into 2026. Isom pointed directly to fuel prices, water policy, and regulatory burdens as some of the most damaging issues impacting growers. “We are at the precipice of either turning the corner and making things a lot better or really just completely sinking the Titanic,” Isom said. Fuel costs remain one of the largest frustrations for agriculture. While national gasoline prices remain significantly lower, California drivers continue paying far more due to taxes, regulations, and refinery challenges. “I paid 6.71 a gallon for gas for my truck,” Isom said. “That's two dollars more than everybody else is paying.” Water policy was another major focus throughout the interview. Isom argued that California's ongoing water shortages are largely tied to infrastructure failures and policy decisions rather than a lack of available water. “We need meaningful water storage,” he said, calling for expanded reservoirs, groundwater recharge projects, and improvements throughout the Delta. He also warned that current SGMA groundwater restrictions are already forcing farmers to fallow more acres, reduce production, and reconsider the future of their operations. “There's a lot more fallowed acres out there,” Isom explained. The discussion also touched on growing concerns over California's regulatory climate, including pesticide restrictions, air quality rules, labor regulations, and electrification mandates. Isom warned that California farmers are increasingly unable to compete with producers in other states and countries operating under far fewer restrictions. “We're losing farmers and we're going to lose more if we don't get this turned around,” he said. As California moves deeper into another hot summer season, agriculture leaders continue urging policymakers to prioritize food production, water infrastructure, and affordability before more farms disappear.

"The son of Zebedee and brother of John, he was one of the Twelve. At the call of the Lord Jesus, he left his fishing nets and his father and, together with John, immediately followed Christ. He was one of the three apostles to whom the Lord revealed the greatest mysteries: before whom He was transfigured on Tabor and before whom He was in agony in the Garden of Gethsemane before His Passion. After receiving the Holy Spirit, he preached the Gospel in various places, going as far as Spain. On his return from Spain, a violent quarrel broke out between the Jews and himself on the Holy Scriptures, and, being unable to withstand him, they hired a magician, Hermogenes. But Hermogenes and Philip his pupil were overcome by the power and truth that James preached, and were baptised. Then the Jews denounced him to Herod, and persuaded one Josias to slander the Apostle. This Josias, seeing James's manly bearing and hearing his clear preaching of the truth, repented and came to faith in Christ. When James was condemned to death, this Josias was also condemned. Mounting the scaffold, Josias begged James's forgiveness for the sin of slander, and James embraced him, kissing him and saying: 'peace be to thee, and forgiveness.' And they both laid their heads under the sword and were beheaded for the sake of the Lord whom they had loved and served. St James suffered in Jerusalem in the year 45. His body was taken to Spain, where to this day miracles of healing are performed at his tomb." (Prologue) His relics are venerated at his shrine in Compostela, Spain.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson shares his perspective on why investors should position for a stock market recovery despite ongoing uncertainty.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist.Today on the podcast I'll be discussing why equity investors – sometimes – need to look away from the headlines.It's Monday, April 13th at 11:30am in New York.So, let's get after it.Today I want to talk about something I think a lot of investors are struggling with right now – and that's timing. When I talk to people, markets still feel fragile to most. There's uncertainty around geopolitics, central banks, oil… You name it. But when I look at what the market is actually doing; not what it feels like, but what it's telling us – I come away with a very different conclusion. The market is further along than most people think in this correction.In fact, over the past couple of weeks, we've seen the S&P 500 bounce meaningfully. Almost 7 percent from the lows after holding that critical 6300 to 6500 range that we've been focused on. To me, that's not random. That's the market carving out a low ahead of an all-clear signal. And stepping back, my broader view hasn't changed.I still think we're in a new bull market that began last April, coming out of that rolling recession between 2022 and 2025. This correction is part of that cycle; not the end of it. And importantly, a lot of the heavy lifting has already been done.Valuations have compressed significantly. Forward price/earnings multiples have fallen about 18 percent from top to bottom. And beneath the surface, more than half of stocks are down 20 percent or more. That's a market that has already discounted a lot of risk – whether it's the war, private credit concerns, or AI disruption.At the same time, earnings are moving in the opposite direction. Trailing earnings growth is running around 15 percent, and forward earnings growth is up over 20 percent. That combination of falling multiples and rising earnings is a classic bull market correction behavior. Not a bear market. And that's why I think many are misreading this environment.One area where I think that's especially clear is energy. If you look at the price action, energy stocks appear to have already peaked in relative terms. That's often a signal that the underlying commodity – in this case oil – may also be peaking. Or at least it's stabilizing.Which brings me to what I think is really driving volatility now: rates.We're back in a regime where stocks and yields are negatively correlated. That means higher rates are a headwind for equities again, and the recent hawkish tone from central banks that's focused on inflation is creating tighter financial conditions. In my view, that's the final hurdle. Not the war. Not oil. But monetary policy. And here's the interesting part. Tightening financial conditions are also what ultimately force central banks to pivot. So the very thing creating anxiety today may be what sets up relief tomorrow.Now, if we're in the later stages of this correction, the next question is positioning. For me, it's still about a barbell. On one side, I like cyclicals like Financials, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary – where the earnings remain strong and valuations have reset. On the other side is quality growth. In particularly the hyperscalers; where sentiment has been washed out, but fundamentals remain intact. That combination has worked well off the lows so far, and I think it continues to make sense here.When I zoom out even further, there's a bigger theme developing as well. And that's the rebalancing of the economy, a core theme we discussed in our 2026 outlook back in November. We're starting to see hard evidence that growth is shifting, from the public to the private economy. Private payrolls are strengthening, capital investment is picking up, and companies are behaving as if the current uncertainty is temporary – not structural. This is the rolling recovery on track.At the same time, AI is acting more as a margin tailwind than a disruption, at least in the near term. And this supports operating leverage across many industries. All of that reinforces my view that the recovery is real. And still has room to run.So when I put it all together, here's where I land:The market has already discounted a lot of bad news. It's adjusted valuations, reset positioning, and absorbed market risks. What risk remains is policy, and how long rates and liquidity stay restrictive. But markets don't wait for clarity on that. They move ahead of it.So, here's my advice. Take advantage of any further worries and put capital to work before it's obvious. Because the market waits for no one.Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review.

4. The Outbreak of the English Civil War Guest Author: Jonathan Healey By the early 1640s, Charles I faced mounting resistance to his perceived tyranny and the religious reforms of Archbishop Laud. The crisis peaked in the winter of 1641-1642 when Charles attempted to arrest five members of Parliament by force, only to find they had fled. Terrified by massive street protests in London, the King fled the capital, traveling the country to gather military support. This period saw the rise of "paper bullets"—pamphlets debating whether sovereignty resided in the divinely appointed monarch or the people, eventually leading to open warfare between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces.

In this hard-hitting episode, Joe exposes the raw frustration millions of Americans feel: a working mother earning $60,000 a year who can't afford her daughter's medical procedure, while illegal immigrants receive handouts and entitlements that create deep division. With Congress doing nothing and leaders seemingly indifferent to everyday families, Joe plays Trump's blunt comments on Medicaid, daycare, and endless wars asking the tough question: why are we still fighting foreign wars while Americans get pushed to the back of the line? He also celebrates a major legal win for Tina Peters as the Colorado Court of Appeals reverses her sentence, ruling it was improperly influenced by her free speech.Delta Force operator, Green Beret, and elite “fixer” Dale Comstock joins the show for a no-holds-barred conversation. Drawing from 35 years of combat experience across Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen, Dale breaks down the red flags in the current Middle East chaos involving Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah — and how it's directly threatening American security at home through borders, cartels, and terror networks. He shares practical steps everyday Americans can take right now to protect their families, the critical mindset shift needed in these uncertain times, and exactly what patriots must do before the situation escalates further.Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin joins us and discusses the pipe bomber investigation and fresh data points about FBI surveillance. From domestic struggles and election integrity to elite operators calling out national security threats, this episode delivers unfiltered truth and actionable insight you won't hear anywhere else.
