THIS IS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. INVESTING IS RISKY AND OFTEN PAINFUL. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. Last week at this time, investors and the world were wondering if an attack on Iran would spiral into a broader war. Since then, oil prices plunged nearly 20% (shown below), and the focus shifted to TALO. The White House criticized Canada for having the audacity to do to the US what China did—retaliate where it hurts. China restricted rare earth exports, while Canada imposed digital taxes. Same idea.Given that Iran is now in the rearview mirror, where does that leave us? A few thoughts on markets below. Before I jump in, however, two podcasts. First, I spoke last week with Democratic Congressman Jim Himes, who accurately predicted the policy with Iran and also shared his thoughts with what is going on in DC more broadly. Among other interesting points: Congress won't constrain spending until a crisis emerges. This suggests ever-larger deficits until long-end bond yields spike. Other countries are balancing their budgets; the US, not so much. Second, a past guest, Dr. Alexander Vanyukov, was labeled a “foreign agent” by Russia last week. You can hear our 2021 conversation here. Alexander is a friend and a remarkable person—the type a government should treasure. You can hear why in this podcast. During COVID, his hospital was on the front lines, and among other innovative solutions, he called for volunteers in a notoriously cynical society and recruited soccer hooligans to care for grandmothers. I'm not making this up. That Russia is punishing someone like him shows how far the government has veered off course, alienating talent, as it has for generations. Russia is dangerous, and the US will likely abandon Ukraine to Russia's grip as fall approaches and US funding dries up. While it won't happen this fall, if Russia isn't contained, other countries will end up in Ukraine's situation. We all know the story; Alexander's conversation puts a human face on it. Regarding the markets, three big themes stand out: AI, slowing growth, and tariffs.* This week, AI went haywire; the NASDAQ surged nearly 4% and is now up 4.5% for the year. But this had little to do with AI. Instead, it was driven by a) the realization that Iran was foreign policy Kabuki and b) expectations the Fed is about to cut interest rates. But why “b”? Not because the Fed said so. The Fed chief stated the opposite in two days of testimony, emphasizing they are in no hurry to cut rates. Yet, the market anticipates rate cuts and priced in another 25 basis points of cuts just as tariffs are set to kick in and drive up prices. As a result, rate expectations shifted significantly, the yield curve steepened, and stocks soared. We now have a sense of what will happen when rates are cut, though I suspect that won't happen for a while. The line below shows the change in discounting. * Growth is slowing, slowly and at various paces in different countries. If you look at where unemployment is above average and yet bond markets are discounting relative strength, some of the smaller countries on the periphery stand out, like New Zealand and Sweden. That said, our perception is that growth is gradually slowing everywhere. Most governments are reducing spending, private sector borrowing is lackluster, and unemployment is rising, so incomes are falling. In short, where is the fuel for a boom, outside of AI?* Tariffs are coming. We just don't know how much or when, and everyone is confused. If I were the Fed, I'd stick to my guns and hold off on rate changes until inflation and employment data clarify the situation. If I were in the White House, I'd delay the tariffs because signing these deals is clearly tough. If I were Canada or China, I'd do exactly what they are doing. How many times has the US Commerce Secretary said a flurry of deals was just around the corner? The net effect of the uncertainty is loose monetary policy globally (as growth slows), and the net effect of technology is deflation, so the rally in assets (stocks and bonds) might just be getting started. However, the focus could shift to Asia, which a) has strong technology, b) has lagged the equity rally, and c) is increasingly focused on shareholder returns.

THIS IS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. INVESTING IS RISKY AND OFTEN PAINFUL. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.This week, we learned a few things.First, we learned the big round of central bank easing is probably over. For assets in general (stocks and bonds) to go up, the total amount of printing (easing) needs to increase. While the Fed wasn't easing, most other central banks were. This week, the Bank of Canada and the European Central Bank said they don't see the need to ease further (though the ECB cut rates). There is no pressure on the Bank of Japan to ease. Moreover, a report today on US unemployment was fine, which means there is no urgency for the Fed to cut rates. We went from central bank easing (COVID), to tightening (2022), to easing (2024–now), to today's no expected easing. There had been a broad belief that erratic White House policy would deal a blow to the US and global economy, forcing the Fed to ease. So far, policy seems to have dealt a significant blow to all of our attention spans but not the economy. This is miraculous, but the data suggests it is true. There is a lot of second-tier data showing slowing hiring, but not enough to move the Fed, which means we must now wait for another month. Perhaps the deportations are shrinking the available pool of labor and keeping unemployment down?Second, we learned a fiscal bill is almost certain to be passed soon in the US, with the deficit clocking in at somewhere between 6% and 7%. The only entity that can borrow at scale at these interest rates is the US government. To increase private sector borrowing, interest rates must come down. To get interest rates down, government borrowing must decrease, and that doesn't look like it will happen. This bill is going to be passed despite many thoughtful people saying the same thing Musk is, which is that the deficit is too big. The conversation I share here with Pennsylvania Senator David McCormick (and my former boss) sheds light not only on his new book, Who Believed in You? (co-written with his wife, Dina), but also on what the budget debate looks like from the perspective of a US Senator. As he makes clear, President Trump believes he has a clear mandate to cut taxes, so cut taxes he will. This package, combined with the healthy jobs data, suggests that interest rates could move higher. At some point, this hurts the stock market because why take a flier on AI stocks when a 30-year bond pays you 5.5%? And as we figure this out, listen to Dave and Dina's advice and both seek out great mentors and try to provide the same for others. Third, we learned that trade uncertainty is going to last a long time. Remember that US trade partners were supposed to submit their offers on Wednesday? Nothing doing. Many other deadlines have come and gone. The US has less leverage than it appears. The global trading system is complex and has evolved over decades. So, the US can get justifiably upset about fentanyl, but then China finds a lever to hurt the US (rare earths), and the conflict goes slow. Xi made ample time to meet with Belarus's Lukashenko last week and scarce time to talk to Trump. Why rush? China, like Russia, believes it is winning. This trade uncertainty is one more reason why the Fed will do nothing unless unemployment rises sharply. The tariffs are high, well over 10%, so at some point, this should whack spending, as should higher interest rates.Fourth, we learned that billions of dollars in conventional military spending are not effective against drones. If Ukraine can take out Russia's bombers with drones, then the same can happen to any other major power. This means in a dangerous world, where conflict in Asia can erupt at any moment, the fundamental techniques of modern warfare are in flux and it is less clear who has the upper hand.Where does this leave me?The AI boom is real and ongoing.The Fed (and other central banks) are on hold until unemployment goes up, which means bond yields will probably go to the upper end of their range.Institutional investors are wary of a pro-risk stance (long stocks, short bonds) because of what happened in April (stocks down 20%) and the ongoing haze of tariffs. This probably makes it more likely for stocks to crawl higher. The value of assets that have little to do with the above, like stable cash flow stocks or idiosyncratic bonds, is high, as are assets that can hedge geopolitical conflict.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for June 4th Publish Date: June 4th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, June 4th and Happy Birthday to Angelina Jolie I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb Students Receive College-Sponsored National Merit Scholarships Judge Pauses State Sanctions put on Cobb, Cities Cobb Advances 300-Apartment Development Amid School District Concerns All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 1: Cobb Students Receive College-Sponsored National Merit Scholarships Fourteen Cobb County students have earned college-sponsored scholarships through the National Merit Scholarship Program, part of over 2,900 winners nationwide this year. These scholarships, ranging from $500 to $2,000 annually, are funded by 146 colleges and universities. Recipients were selected from 2025 National Merit Finalists based on academic excellence, recommendations, and test scores. The winners, representing schools like Lassiter, Walton, and Wheeler High, plan to pursue diverse fields such as engineering, law, genetics, and marine biology. By the program’s end, over 6,930 students will have received scholarships totaling nearly $26 million. STORY 2: Judge Pauses State Sanctions put on Cobb, Cities Sanctions cutting off state funding for Cobb County and its seven cities have been paused by a Cobb Superior Court ruling. The sanctions stemmed from Mableton and Cobb County missing a May 31 deadline to finalize a Service Delivery Strategy agreement. Mableton initially rejected the $9.5 million deal but later approved a revised version, allowing more time for payment. The court ruled the sanctions would harm Cobb’s 800,000 residents, halting state support for infrastructure, public safety, and more. If the agreement is finalized soon, sanctions could lift by July 1. Mableton plans to create a special service district to fund its payment. STORY 3: Cobb Advances 300-Apartment Development Amid School District Concerns The Cobb County Planning Commission approved a 300-unit apartment development on South Cobb Parkway near Cumberland Mall, replacing an aging hotel. Developer Alliance Residential plans a five-story building with amenities like a pool, gym, and co-working space, targeting young professionals, downsizers, and seniors. Despite concerns from the Cobb School District about overcrowding at Teasley Elementary, the commission voted unanimously to advance the project. Alliance argued the development would generate $1.19 million in annual tax revenue and suggested rezoning the area to Brumby Elementary, which has capacity. The proposal now heads to the Board of Commissioners for final approval on June 17. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: TOP TECH_FINAL STORY 4: Cobb EMC’s Nurdan Cornelius Honored as 2025 Woman of Distinction Nurdan Cornelius, recently retired director of consumer marketing at Cobb EMC, has been named the 2025 Woman of Distinction by Cobb Executive Women. Honored after Cobb Chair Lisa Cupid’s State of the County address, Cornelius was recognized for her leadership, community involvement, and social responsibility. Over her 20-year career, she led transformative initiatives at Cobb EMC and dedicated decades to civic causes, including providing over 1 million diapers and 10,000 winter coats to families in need. Known for her global perspective and commitment to underserved communities, Cornelius remains a driving force in Cobb County. STORY 5: Pedestrian Hit by Two Cars in Marietta, Sustains Life-Threatening Injuries A pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by two vehicles Monday night on Powder Springs St. in Marietta. The incident occurred around 11:26 p.m. near a QuikTrip gas station when the man, crossing in a crosswalk but against the traffic signal, was hit by a 2020 Mercedes Benz and then a 2015 Nissan. Both drivers remained on the scene and are cooperating with police. Video evidence from Cobb County Police supports the investigation, and no charges are expected. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Marietta Police Investigator D. Lester. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 6: Austell Appoints First Woman Police Chief in Cobb County Shameta Jones-Harrell has been appointed as Austell’s new police chief, becoming the first woman to hold the position in Cobb County history. The City Council unanimously approved her promotion, praising her leadership. A 25-year law enforcement veteran, Jones-Harrell holds a criminal justice degree and has served in various roles, including deputy chief in Austell and major in Brookhaven. She has managed multiple divisions, from community engagement to training. Jones-Harrell has been interim chief since March and officially steps into the role following former Chief Scott Hamilton’s resignation. Capt. Cecil Lloyd Garett will now serve as deputy chief. STORY 7: Georgia Department of Driver Services Implements Federal Commercial Medical Certificate Mandate Starting June 18, 2025, Georgia CDL holders requiring medical certifications must have their Medical Certificates submitted directly to the FMCSA by their Medical Examiner, as per the Medical Certification Integration Final Rule. The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) will no longer accept hard copies via mail, fax, email, online, or in-person. Medical providers will input the information into the National Registry, which FMCSA will transmit to DDS. Existing certificates remain valid until expiration. DDS advises customers to create an Online Services Account for easy monitoring and to handle transactions like license replacements or address changes online. We’ll have closing comments after this.

As CEO & Co-Founder of Sling Money, Mike is transforming how we think about sending funds across borders by making international transfers as effortless as sending a text message.During our conversation, Mike reveals how a personal experience moving USDC between the UK and San Francisco sparked his vision. The transfer itself was instant and free, but everything around it felt clunky – "like using a Unix command line from the 80s." This insight led him to create what he calls "the macOS or iPhone of stablecoins," abstracting away all of the complexity. Sling's elegant approach allows users to add money through local payment methods in 75 countries, convert to stablecoins behind the scenes, and send funds globally in just seconds. Recipients can withdraw to their local currency almost instantly, never needing to understand the underlying technology. The use cases range from practical (managing finances across multiple countries) to spontaneous (buying someone a beer across continents) – transactions that were previously impossible or prohibitively expensive.Mike places this innovation in a fascinating historical context, comparing the evolution of international payments to what happened with telecommunications and streaming video. Just as we no longer think twice about "long-distance calls," he envisions a future where the concept of "international payments" disappears entirely.Ready to experience the future of global money transfer? Download Sling Money today and join the community making international payments instant, free, and frictionless.

Part of President Trump's self-described big, beautiful bill includes congressional Republicans' plans to change Medicaid. The proposal would cut billions from the safety net program. Many Republican lawmakers see this as a needed savings to slash what they see as waste in the system, but recent estimates show millions of Americans stand to lose their health insurance, including in Republican health districts like Kern County.

Ian Diamond, Coastal Awards Manager with An Taisce discusses the 89 beaches and ten marinas that have been awarded a Blue Flag.
In the first installment of this two-part series, Dr. Stacey Clardy engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Janis Miyasaki, asking her to share two invaluable pieces of wisdom. Show reference: https://www.aan.com/news/aan-honors-leader-volunteer-2025-presidents-award
Questions about whether a deceased person's soul can live on in the recipient of his heart, whether 1 Corinthians 15:44 confirms that babies in the womb have a soul, why bodies are important, how to explain the soul to a child, and how the spirit relates to the soul. Could the stories about recipients of donated hearts acting like the donors mean that if a person dies and his heart is donated to someone else, his soul lives on in the recipient? Does 1 Corinthians 15:44 confirm that babies in the womb have a soul when it says that if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body? In light of your article “The Invisible Man,” why are bodies important? How would you explain the existence of a soul to a child or someone who has never heard of this idea? How does a person's spirit relate to his soul?
Dr. Stacey Clardy talks with Dr. Janis Miyasaki about her journey into neurology, the integration of palliative care into neurologic practice, and the critical importance of patient-centered care. Read more about the 2025 AAN President's Award. Disclosures can be found at Neurology.org.

A former Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient, Jason brings the heart of a public servant and the grit of a soldier to Congress. From working minimum-wage jobs in high school to deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division and elite 75th Ranger Regiment, Jason's journey is a powerful testament to servant leadership. We dive into: • Jason's path from working-class roots to the battlefield and into the halls of Congress • How his military experience shapes his approach to leadership and legislation • His work helping veterans navigate life after service Tune in for a powerful conversation on service, sacrifice, and putting people before politics. In This Episode You Will Hear: • I got hooked in the military for college money. (8:00) • [The military] totally changed the trajectory of my life. (9:54) • I always make it a point when I run into a Vietnam vet; I say “Welcome Home.” (16:20) • [Marcus] Q: “Did you sign up for ranger school? What's that like?” A: “Well, it sucks.” (20:22) • Georgia is cold in the winter. It's just a fuck fest. You're just cold and tired and hungry for 2 months. (21:05) • College is good, but I tell a lot of folks is [to learn] a trade. (35:40) • The civil military divide: How little understanding a lot of people in America have of military service. (39:53) • To be a veteran advocate, you had to be the squeaky wheel in politics. (41:08) • Morgan [Luttrell] and I have this bill trying to stop veteran suicides in VA facilities. (43:34) • We can only make good policy if we have good information. (44:47) • [Marcus] “You and I don't need enemies – we have friends.” (48:21) • [Marcus] “My brother never says anything nice to me.” (48:30) • [Melanie: Vets should] “Support each other, love each other, lift each other up. Talk shit in a good way. Hold each other accountable.” (49:10) • The greatest generation fought WWII, defeated fascism, and they came back and became the civic leaders, the political leaders, the business leaders. They set the standard for what citizenship is about. (52:57) • We have the Bipartisan Veteran Caucus in congress. We call it the Noah's Ark caucus, because you've gotta join with somebody from the other side of the aisle.
