Trump wins 2024, repeating 2016 win. Markets react with highs, despite unchanged economy woes. Download the CFO's Guide to AI and Machine Learning at https://netsuite.com/goldPeter Schiff offers an in-depth analysis of Donald Trump's historic second term win, comparing it to Grover Cleveland's non-consecutive terms. Schiff critiques Trump's economic promises, tax cuts, and deregulation efforts, arguing they complicate existing fiscal problems rather than providing solutions. He highlights the disparity between media portrayal of the economy and the public's experience, emphasizing long-term issues such as the escalating national debt and rising interest rates. Schiff also discusses market reactions, potential impacts on stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities like gold. He delves into media bias and corruption, his own legal battles, and concerns for future economic stability under Trump's presidency.

The demand for bonds turned the market around today, says Kevin Nicholson. He expects yields to go higher.

Market Seasonality, Political Gridlock, and 10 Myths of Retirement Planning The Money Wise Guys are back with another look at last week's numbers from Wall Street, along with a discussion about market seasonality and the interplay between politics and investing. Last week, the Dow was up 1.0%, the S&P 500 was up 0.9%, and the NASDAQ was up 0.8%. YTD the Dow is up 14.8%, the S&P is up 23.0%, and the NASDAQ is up 23.2% - though it still hasn't reached its all-time high from July. In this episode, the Money Wise guys discuss the potential consequences of one of the most important presidential elections of our lives, as well as why they don't recommend making investment decisions based on politics. Some investors are feeling reluctant to make decisions until the election is over, but it's a mistake to sit on your hands because the most important thing is to keep participating in the market. The guys also discuss why the markets like congressional gridlock and why we shouldn't fear an end to capitalism as we know it - no matter who wins the White House. The Money Wise guys also continue to discuss market seasonality and why the second half of October could prove volatile. Understanding Market Seasonality in October We all know the market fluctuates, and there are some periods of time each year when those fluctuations become more pronounced. The Money Wise guys mention market seasonality in October in this episode because, while the month often provides a rally after a tough August and September, this year might be different. Market seasonality in October may deviate from historic trends this year. You can read more about what to expect from market seasonality in October in this illuminating MarketWatch article. Check out this resource for more on seasonality trends. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys share the 10 Myths of Retirement Planning. You don't want to miss the details!

Lindsay Torrico left an incredibly successful career in community development, grassroots mobilization, and public policy, advocating on the Hill in DC when she became disillusioned with the policy process and the politics. Now, as Senior VP of Bank Community Engagement at American Bankers Association & Executive Director of ABA Foundation she helps banks to put community at the front of their corporate social responsibility strategies. And she couldn't be happier. The lesson she's maintained through it all is one her grandmother taught her — to ensure she has harmony in all the roles she plays in her life, from professional to personal. Lindsay recognizes when all this is in alignment, that's when she can really achieve fulfillment and success and have her own whole damn pie. Hit play for the full story.

Miguel-Anxo Murado, Madrid-based reporter, on the results of the Spanish election.

Last week, Libya's parliament fired one of the country's two prime ministers, Fathi Bashaga. Libya for years has been split between two rival governments. An internationally recognised prime minister, Abdelhamid Dabaiba, sits in the capital Tripoli and a rival government, until recently headed by Bashaga, is based mostly in the east. Last summer, Bashaga, who was backed by Khalifa Haftar, a powerful commander from eastern Libya, tried several times to seize Tripoli by force. Those efforts failed, costing Bashaga a lot of support in the east. Over recent months, Haftar's camp and Dabaiba have been holding quiet talks. Violence has mostly subsided and the country has experienced something of an economic upturn thanks to increasing oil revenues. Still, the political gridlock remains. The newly appointed UN envoy for Libya, Abdoulaye Bathily, has laid out a roadmap to elections, but his plan does not seem to enjoy much support from either camp. This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Crisis Group's Libya expert Claudia Gazzini, recently in Tripoli, to talk about Libya's gridlock. They take stock of the dynamics between the rivalling political factions in the country, prospects for the Haftar-Dabaiba talks and also for elections. They discuss changing geopolitical winds in the region, particularly how better ties between Türkiye, which has long backed the internationally recognised government in Tripoli, and Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, which back Haftar, have made foreign involvement in Libya less fraught. They also talk about Libyan factions' potential links to the fighting in Sudan and the danger of spillover.

Thursday, April 14th, 2022   David J. Toscano served 14 years (2006-20) in the Virginia House of Delegates representing the 57th District. He's the author of Fighting Political Gridlock: How States Shape Our Nation And Our Lives. We discuss strengthening our democracy at the State level through legislation, meaningful cooperation, and civic engagement in State politics.   States are laboratories for democracy. State Houses make a big difference in people's lives, from education, criminal justice, even to climate change and energy issues. The US Constitution doesn't explicitly guarantee the right to vote, so we are in the fight of our lives to protect democracy.   Follow David Toscano on Twitter: https://twitter.com/deltoscano   Follow Mila on Twitter: https://twitter.com/milaatmos   Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Want to be on Future Hindsight?

"We don't have a choice," says David J. Toscano about the critical need to bring policymakers and people together to solve pressing public problems and especially on divisive issues - from criminal legal system reform and policing to immigration. In his new book, Fighting Political Gridlock: How States Shape Our Nation And Our Lives, Mr. Toscano argues that addressing the challenges to democracy must start at the state and local level.

Episode Notes Last month, we had what felt like a national election only in Virginia. These were state elections, but the focus was on national concerns. When Bold Dominion launched in 2019, we were struck by how many people closely follow national politics but know very little about how our own state government works. Or the power of state government to impact people's lives. David Toscano has written a book about exactly this: Fighting Political Gridlock: How States Shape Our Nation and Our Lives. He's the former Democratic leader in the Virginia House of Delegates, representing the 57th District from Charlottesville. This week on Bold Dominion, we talk about the power of state legislatures, how citizens can engage with them, and how states can shape national priorities.

In U.S. history, previous periods of gridlock and partisanship eventually gave way to bursts of constitutional amendments. Given our current political climate, are we positioned to see a wave of new amendments?

Want to know where current events are taking us? Trying to forecast the future has left a lot of analysts and prognosticators looking pretty silly. We look at some spectacular failures in geopolitical forecasting. Political gridlock in Israel has been largely caused by the growing power of liberal lawyers in the judiciary. We look at how this came about and how it’s similar to the war in America between elected officials and the “deep state." Libya’s long-lasting civil war looks to have turned in favor of the internationally recognized government, because it is receiving big help from key outside sources that could shape Libya’s future in a way that aligns with biblical prophecy. I conclude the program with a word about how to handle adversity—and why it’s important sometimes to keep wrestling even when you’re in pain.

As I record this, the US Congress has just begun its 116th session and is, in theory, getting to work. Although, I don't know who they got to swear in the new members because the government is shut down. I guess the guy reading the oaths is an “essential employee”… How does one “shut down” …

In business news, the nation's record low interest rates are here to stay but maybe for only a little while longer. Sweden's central bank said it may need to raise its repo rate soon. And how do city officials feel about their town being dubbed Sweden's ugliest city? Turns out, the folks in Borlänge are none-too-pleased with their new national title.  Reporters: Ulla Engberg, Dave Russell Producer/presenter: Frank Radosevich frank.radosevich_ii@sverigesradio.se

The plane that crashed in a Pennsylvania field on 9/11 was likely headed for the U.S. Capitol.
