Some people don’t understand the logic of faith. Believers put their trust in a God who parted the Red Sea, raised the dead, healed the sick, calm ed the storm, walked on water . . . and created the heavens and the earth. Doesn’t it make sense to trust a God like that? Does it make sense not to. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings a story about a woman who had faith that just wouldn’t quit. It’s inspiring insight for those times when we’re ready to throw in the towel. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

There are battles in life that are simply too big for us — the kind where we have exhausted every option, tried every solution, and still find ourselves standing at the edge of an impossible situation with nowhere to turn. In those moments, the helplessness is not a sign that something has gone wrong. It may be the very place where God shows up most powerfully. The Israelites knew that feeling. Trapped at the edge of the Red Sea with Pharaoh's army closing in behind them, there was no strategy left, no escape route, no human solution. And it was there — in the middle of the impossible — that God spoke one of the most breathtaking promises in all of Scripture: "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Not passive resignation, but an active trust that releases the battle into the hands of the One who owns it completely. Whatever you are facing today — the diagnosis that is bigger than your resources, the fear that whispers you are alone, the situation that has no clear path forward — God has not forgotten you and He has not left you to figure it out on your own. He is your defender. He is your deliverer. And He is already at work in what you cannot yet see. Bible Verse "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." — Exodus 14:14 Ponder Today The battles that feel too big for us are often the very places where God shows up most powerfully — our helplessness is not a dead end, it is an invitation for Him to move. Being still is not the same as giving up — it is an active, trusting surrender that releases our grip on a battle we were never meant to carry alone. God doesn't simply offer to help us fight — He owns the battle entirely, and He doesn't need our strategy or strength, only our stillness and our trust. Fear will always try to convince us that we are alone in the fight, but God's Word tells us something different — He is our defender and our deliverer. When the enemy feels larger than our strength and the diagnosis feels bigger than our resources, that is precisely where God shows up — and often shows off. Today's Prayer Heavenly Father, I bring You the battle I cannot win on my own — the situation that feels too big, the fear that is telling me I am alone in this fight. But Your Word tells me something different. You will fight for me. I don't have to force a solution or exhaust myself trying to control what I was never meant to carry. Teach me what it truly means to be still — not giving up, but trusting that You are already at work in what I cannot yet see. Thank You that I don't have to face this alone. You are my defender, my deliverer, and my God. In Jesus' name, Amen. Enjoy Today's Prayer? If this episode encouraged you, we'd love to stay connected!

FDD Senior Fellow Edmund Fitton-Brown joins Bill to assess the current state of the Iran War. From the dual blockade in the Strait of Hormuz to the failed peace negotiations, they consider: why did Pakistan step up as mediator? Can Tehran stretch the Houthis for even more leverage in the Red Sea? Has the war pushed the Gulf States closer together?

A high-stakes geopolitical showdown is unfolding—and it could reshape the global economy. From oil routes to military strategy, this episode breaks down why control of key waterways and currencies may determine the future of American power.
The tide is turning. The U.S. seizes control of one of the world's most critical النفط chokepoints—and suddenly, Iran is running out of time and China is feeling the squeeze. Tara breaks down the high-stakes showdown in the Strait of Hormuz, the global trade implications, and why this moment could redefine economic and military power worldwide. ⚡ SEGMENT SUMMARY Tara lays out a dramatic shift in global power dynamics as the U.S. asserts operational control over the Strait of Hormuz, tightening pressure on Iran and indirectly confronting China. With American naval forces—including the USS George H. W. Bush—maneuvering strategically, the U.S. is enforcing a de facto blockade that threatens Iran's oil infrastructure and economic survival. The episode highlights how sanctions, naval positioning, and energy policy intersect with global trade dominance—especially the importance of maintaining the U.S. dollar in oil transactions. Tara contrasts American control of sea lanes with China's influence in the Bab el-Mandeb via proxy forces, arguing that this is effectively a multi-front geopolitical conflict. Featuring commentary tied to figures like Jesse Watters, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and Tucker Carlson, this episode frames the situation as a long-term struggle over trade routes, energy markets, and global dominance.
A devastating tragedy in South Carolina sparks outrage over immigration enforcement failures, while a high-stakes global showdown unfolds as the U.S. tightens control over critical oil routes. From local heartbreak to geopolitical brinksmanship, Tara connects the dots on power, policy, and consequences.
From explosive political claims about impeachment to rising global tensions and a heartbreaking local tragedy—this episode covers it all. A high-intensity breakdown of power, policy, and the real-world consequences making headlines.
This episode is day two of the story of Moses, building on what Pastor Eric talked about yesterday (if you haven't listened to Part 1, we recommend checking out that episode first). Today, the story heads back to Egypt for the ten plagues (and Marnie's issue with flies). Then, it continues to the Red Sea, God's presence as a pillar of fire & clouds, wandering the wilderness for forty years, Mount Sinai, and the end of Moses' life. Marnie and Eric conclude by connecting Moses to Jesus and the Gospels.
Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, we dive deep into the unfolding geopolitical crisis as the US blockades the Strait of Hormuz and Iran threatens retaliation, sending shockwaves through global energy markets. Speaker A and Speaker B unpack the diplomatic breakdowns, escalating military tactics, and what these mean for global oil supply and prices. The episode expands into the shifting alliances of America's longtime partners, with nations like Spain and Canada reorienting toward China, signaling possible realignments in the world order. Beyond geopolitics, we unravel the economic repercussions hitting everyday Americans, from inflation to the growing wealth gap, and discuss the rising social unrest—from warehouse burnings to violent attacks on business leaders—that many now argue are signs of a class uprising. Speaker A and Speaker B confront the roots of economic hardship, debating redistribution versus growth, government deficits, and the looming threat of mass violence if structural reforms aren't enacted. Expect candid analysis, passionate debate, and critical questions about the future of America and the world, as we explore how emotional responses, social media, and political policies are shaping the next era. Buckle up for a timely, unfiltered look at the intersection of war, economics, and social upheaval—there's much more ahead on Impact Theory. What's up, everybody?

You've seen the Hollywood version of the Red Sea parting, but do you know the spiritual reason God led Israel into a dead end? Sometimes the "wrong direction" in the eyes of the world is the only way to see the "salvation of the Lord." Summary: In this deep dive into Exodus 14–18, we follow Israel out of Egypt and into the refining fires of the wilderness. We explore how Jehovah transforms a group of former slaves into a covenant people through trials of hunger, thirst, and war. The Red Sea Crossing: We analyze why God told Israel to "stand still" and see His power, and how the cloud that gave light to Israel was darkness to the Egyptians. The Wilderness of Sin: We address the "murmuring" of Israel and the miracle of Manna. We learn that God provides "daily bread" to teach us daily dependence on Him. Water from the Rock: We look at the symbolism of the smitten rock at Rephidim and how it points directly to the Living Water offered by Jesus Christ. Sustaining the Prophet: We study the battle with Amalek and the vital role of Aaron and Hur in holding up Moses' hands. We discuss how "sustaining" our leaders is an active, physical labor. The Wisdom of Jethro: We conclude with the organizational breakthrough in Exodus 18. Jethro teaches Moses (and us) that "this thing is too heavy for thee," showing the power of delegation and shared responsibility in the kingdom of God. Call-to-Action: Are you currently facing a "Red Sea" with Pharaoh's army behind you and nowhere to go? How has the Lord provided "manna" for you during a lean season of your life?

Moses Parts The Red SeaApril 13–19: “Stand Still, and See the Salvation of the Lord”Exodus 14–18The Israelites were trapped. The Red Sea was on one side, and the army of Pharaoh was advancing on the other. Their escape from Egypt, it seemed, would be short lived. But God had a message for the Israelites that He wanted them to remember for generations: “Fear ye not. … The Lord shall fight for you” (Exodus 14:13–14).Since that time, when God's people have needed faith and courage, they have told this story. When Nephi wanted to inspire his brothers, he said, “Let us be strong like unto Moses; for he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided hither and thither, and our fathers came through, out of captivity, on dry ground” (1 Nephi 4:2). When King Limhi wanted his captive people to “lift up [their] heads, and rejoice,” he reminded them of this same story (Mosiah 7:19). So did Alma, when he wanted to testify to his son of God's power (see Alma 36:28). And when we feel trapped—when we need a little more faith to “see the salvation of the Lord”—we can remember how “the Lord saved Israel that day” (Exodus 14:13, 30).A Come Follow Me Podcast For Kids A Primary Podcast Welcome to Come Follow Me Kids!

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Exodus 19–34 and step into the moment where God invites His people into a covenant, not just to be freed, but to become something more. At Mount Sinai, God reminds Israel that He has already rescued them, carried them on eagle's wings, and brought them to Himself. Now He invites them into a deeper relationship. If they are willing, He will make them a treasured people, a holy nation. The commandments are not given to restrict them, but to strengthen that relationship. Like any meaningful relationship, love grows alongside commitment, trust, and expectations, and God is inviting them into something richer, not something heavier. Even when the people falter and turn to the golden calf, the story does not end. Instead of walking away, God continues reaching, forgiving, and renewing. What was broken is not the end of the relationship. It becomes part of it. Moses speaks with God as a friend, and we see that mistakes do not disqualify us from closeness with Him. They often become the very place where grace, mercy, and transformation begin. This episode invites us to see the covenant not as pressure, but as an invitation. The same God who rescues at the Red Sea and ultimately through Easter is the God who stays, teaches, and walks with us daily. He is merciful, patient, and full of goodness, always working to draw us closer. And just like Israel, we are learning that real freedom is not just being saved, but becoming something new with Him.

Welcome. We're Scot and Maurine Proctor, and this is Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast, where today we'll study Exodus chapters 14 through 18 at the miraculous moment in the history of the children of Israel, where the Lord parts the Red Sea, and they pass through on dry ground in an ultimate triumph for the Lord over Egypt. Now, we have with us today Jeffrey M. Bradshaw. He has a PhD in cognitive science, but is particularly known by Latter-day Saints for his detailed commentaries on the Old Testament, the Pearl of Great Price, and temple themes in scriptures.

U.S. President Trump accuses Tehran of not honouring the ceasefire with the Strait of Hormuz remaining firmly shut. Israel has said it was willing to hold peace talks with Lebanon, despite continuing to target Hezbollah sites in the country. Crude prices remain below the $100-mark despite Saudi Arabia claiming Iranian attacks on its Red Sea pipeline have erased up to 700,000 barrels a day from the market. European equities are due to end the week firmly in positive territory with investors clinging onto hope the Middle East ceasefire will hold. Stateside, the S&P 500 is on course to post its best weekly performance since November.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up nearly 90-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 34,951 on turnover of $10-billion NT. Market optimism over prospects for a Middle East ceasefire lifted U.S. stocks, carrying the momentum into Taiwan's market today. Electronics and semiconductor indices both rose over 1-percent%, while financial stocks bucked the trend, slipping around 0.4-percent. Among heavyweight stocks, TSMC opened with a gain of 1.28-percent. And memory chip duo Winbond Electronics and Nanya Technology both climbed more than 3-percent. (NS) Potential typhoon will not affect Taiwan: CWA A tropical storm southeast of Guam is expected to strengthen into a typhoon — but the Central Weather Administration says it poses (構成) no threat to the island. The CWA says "Sinlaku" is the fourth tropical storm of the season, and is projected to continue heading north before becoming a typhoon. Forecasters say it will remain far from Taiwan and have no direct impact. Closer to home, temperatures are forecast to hit 30 degrees Celsius across Taiwan today, and foehn winds in Taitung could push temperatures above 36 degrees. The hot weather continues through Tuesday, when an arriving weather front will cool northern and central Taiwan. Conditions will otherwise remain mostly sunny and stable through Monday, with afternoon showers possible in mountainous areas. Kuwait Accuses Iran and Proxies of Drone Attacks Kuwait has accused Iran and its proxies of launching drone attacks targeting it on Thursday despite the two-week ceasefire in the Iran war. Saudi Arabia also says recent attacks damaged a key pipeline in the kingdom. The statement from Kuwait's Foreign Ministry about attacks on "vital Kuwaiti facilities" put new pressure on the ceasefire ahead of planned talks Saturday between the United States and Iran in Islamabad. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's state-run Saudi Press Agency, quoting an anonymous official, acknowledged a recent attack in the war that damaged its crucial (至關重要的) East-West pipeline. That pipeline carries oil out to the Red Sea and avoids the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran maintains a chokehold (實體控制) on despite the pause in the fighting. Artemis II astronauts describe their lunar voyage as surreal and profound ahead of Earth return The crew of Artemis II is speeding towards home after their historic (歷史性) trip around the moon. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports. UK Sea Creature Fossil Not Oldest Octopus Scientists have found evidence that a 300-million-year-old sea creature previously thought to be the world's oldest octopus is actually a nautilus (鸚鵡螺) relative. University of Reading zoology lecturer Thomas Clements led the research, which found that the fossil, originally identified in 2000, had too many teeth to be an octopus. The creature, about the size of a human hand, was found in Illinois and had puzzled scientists for years, because it is much older than the next-earliest known octopus. The findings, published this week, mean Guinness World Records will no longer list the specimen (樣本) it as the earliest known octopus. That was the I.C.R.T.

As a comparison, Nephi's trust in God blesses his wilderness experience.(08:42) The Book of Mormon gives added insight as to why murmuring is such a problem. The key to happiness is to remember the greatness of God in both pain and prosperity.(19:07) A possible location of Sinai is discussed as evidence of historicity in the book of Exodus. Revelation came to Moses “when he was on the move.”(23:26) The night crossing of the Red Sea can represent Jesus conquering chaos in our lives. Psalm 74 also addresses these themes.(29:00) The children of Israel sing the Song of the Sea and rejoice in their deliverance.(36:40) The beginning and end of the Exodus story has women standing as witnesses to the miraculous. Miriam is there at Moses' birth and at the Song of the Sea.(42:46) Some approaches to Biblical scholarship may be helpful in understanding why the Bible has some traditions that cast Miriam in a bad light.(46:58) Miriam dies at Kadesh and the water dries up. Miriam as a symbol of the women in the New Testament named Mary who witnessed Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection.(51:07) The bitter water is sweetened with a tree. The Savior heals us too.(54:59) The Lord rains manna from heaven and sends quail for meat to feed the children of Israel for 40 years. God will take care of us in the deserts of our lives.(1:02:07) Moses smites a rock and water gushes forth. Jewish theologians over the years had a tradition that the rock at the beginning and at the end of Exodus was the same rock. Paul worked this tradition into his discussion of Christ, and so to him, the rock was Jesus.(1:07:27) Amalek battles with the Israelites and Moses' hands are held up so that Israel may be victorious. We sustain the prophet and our local leaders, and by so doing, we hold up their hands that hang down.(1:10:22) An invitation to remember what God has done for us.(1:13:23) Jethro counsels Moses to delegate certain tasks.

What would it take for you to walk forward in faith when the impossible stands right in front of you? Sister Elaine Dalton explores the miraculous Israelite Red Sea crossing as a type of Christ's power to deliver us, drawing powerful connections between ancient scripture and the “Red Sea moments” in our lives. She also reminds us to move forward in faith, honor our covenants, and never forget the miracles He has already performed.SHOW NOTES/TRANSCRIPTSEnglish: https://tinyurl.com/podcastOT216ENFrench: https://tinyurl.com/podcastOT216FRGerman: https://tinyurl.com/podcastOT216DEPortuguese: https://tinyurl.com/podcastOT216PTSpanish: https://tinyurl.com/podcastOT216ESYOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/yUkbumUZOF0ALL EPISODES/SHOW NOTESfollowHIM website: https://www.followHIM.coFREE PDF DOWNLOADS OF followHIM QUOTE BOOKSNew Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastNTBookOld Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastOTBookBook of Mormon: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastBMBook WEEKLY NEWSLETTERhttps://tinyurl.com/followHIMnewsletter SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastTIMECODE:00:00 Part 1 - Sister Elaine Dalton02:01 Teaser04:32 Bio06:01 The Stella H.

Pharaoh said, "I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go." He was about to receive a masterclass in who Jehovah really is. But the real question isn't whether Pharaoh would let go—it's whether we are willing to let go of our own "Egypt." Summary: In this episode, we dive into the heart of the Exodus story (chapters 7–13). We move beyond the cinematic spectacles to find the deep, personal doctrine of repentance and redemption hidden within the plagues and the Passover. The War of the Gods: We analyze how each of the ten plagues was a specific "judgment against all the gods of Egypt," proving that Jehovah stands supreme over the Nile, the sun, and even life itself. The Hardening of the Heart: We clarify the JST corrections to the text—God didn't take away Pharaoh's agency; Pharaoh hardened his own heart, choosing pride over the "finger of God." Pharaoh's "Negotiations": We look at the four ways Pharaoh tried to compromise with Moses—and why "partial obedience" is just another form of bondage. The Passover Lamb: We explore the meticulous requirements of the Passover and how every element—the unblemished lamb, the bitter herbs, and the blood on the doorposts—points directly to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Leaving Egypt for Good: We discuss the importance of not "leaving a forwarding address" for our sins. True deliverance requires us to go into the wilderness with no intention of looking back. Call-to-Action: Are there "shallow promises" you've made to the Lord that you keep falling back on when the pressure is off? How can the "Blood of the Lamb" help you fully exit your Egypt this week? Let's talk about it in the comments. To stay "Unshaken" as we cross the Red Sea next week, please like, subscribe, and share this video!

Follow the Israelites through one of the most dramatic turning points in scripture—crossing the Red Sea and entering the wilderness—in this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines with Lynne Hilton Wilson. Covering Exodus 14–18, this episode highlights the faith and leadership of women during moments of both triumph and trial. At the center is Miriam, the prophetess, who leads the women of Israel in joyful praise after the Lord delivers His people from Egypt. With timbrels in hand and voices lifted in song, these women model gratitude, unity, and a deep recognition of God's power in their lives. But the story of these chapters also reminds us that even the faithful can struggle. As the Israelites face hunger, thirst, and uncertainty in the wilderness, murmuring and doubt begin to surface among the people—including their leaders. Miriam's later experience with disobedience and its consequences invites a deeper discussion about accountability, humility, and the refining process of discipleship. Lynne Hilton Wilson explores how these women teach us not only how to rejoice in God's blessings, but also how to navigate moments of weakness with faith, repentance, and renewed devotion.
In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Exodus 14–18 and walk through the defining journey of Israel, from the Red Sea to the wilderness, discovering what it means to say, “This is my God.” What begins at the edge of the sea, with fear on every side and no way forward, becomes a powerful reminder that God is a rescuer. As the waters part and dry ground appears, we see a God who fights for His people, who makes a way where there is none, and who invites us to stand still and trust Him. These moments echo the heart of Easter, a God who delivers, saves, and leads His people out of bondage into new life. As the journey continues, new struggles arise. Bitter water, hunger, thirst, and exhaustion reveal how quickly faith can turn into fear. Yet over and over again, God responds with mercy. He heals what is broken, provides daily bread, brings water from unexpected places, and reminds His people that He is still with them. Each chapter becomes another witness that even in the wilderness, God has not left. This episode invites us to see our own lives in these stories. The same God who parted the sea is the God who walks with us through our daily battles. And just like Israel, we are learning again and again who He is, a God who rescues, provides, heals, and stays. A God who shows up not just once, but every single day.

Roy Davies joins us to talk about his book The Darwin Conspiracy: Origins of a Scientific Crime. Did Charles Darwin really come up with the theory of evolution? Some say he stole the idea from others, but is there proof? And to what degree? Roy Davies does a fantastic job in this book of fleshing out what really happened in those days and revealing who really discovered what. It's a fascinating book, and will be an equaling fascinating conversation!In nearly 30 years at the BBC, Roy Davies wrote, produced and directed many acclaimed documentaries for the archaeology and history series Chronicle and was for seven years Series Editor of Timewatch. He specialized in ground-breaking investigative and revisionist documentaries which challenged and re-examined popular historical beliefs among which were stories about the discovery of the tomb of Philip of Macedon and the row between Sir Arthur Evans and Professor Alan Wace over the origins of the Minoan civilization in Crete. Roy is also the author of Nautilus: Story of Man under the Sea, and was Executive Producer of the five-part BBC series of the same name which revealed the dangers of submarines since Napoleonic times and stories of the men who served in them. He was with Thor Heyerdahl when he burnt his reed boat off an island in the Red Sea in 1978, produced the programme which covered the raising of the Mary Rose off Southsea Castle in 1982 and covered the trial of O.J. Simpson for the BBC in 1995.You can download the eBook here for free. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Stuck. Surrounded. Out of options.That's exactly where Israel stood in Exodus 14, trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's advancing army.We often stay on the shore because the math doesn't add up, but Prophet Hari reminds us that 'miracles start where logic ends'.In this powerful teaching, Prophet Hari Rao exposes why we so easily forget God's deliverance and why your confession might be working against God's purpose for your life. It's a mirror for every believer facing impossible circumstances today.If you've been crying out to God wondering why the door won't open, this teaching will shift your perspective. Tap to listen.
What do you do when your "Promised Land" feels like a distant memory and your current reality feels like a slave pit? Moses found the answer in a bush that burned but was not consumed—and that same fire is available to help you break free today. Summary: In this episode, we begin the book of Exodus (chapters 1–6). We move from the family intimacy of Genesis to the national deliverance of Israel, uncovering profound patterns of how God remembers His covenants and empowers the "weak things of the earth." The Problem of Forgetting: We explore the danger of a generation that "knew not Joseph" and how societal amnesia leads to bondage. Courage in the Shadows: We highlight the "deliverers before the Deliverer"—Shiphrah, Puah, Jochebed, and Miriam—who chose to fear God more than Pharaoh. The Five Excuses: We break down Moses' deep feelings of inadequacy. From "Who am I?" to "I am slow of speech," we see how God compensates for our weaknesses with His presence. The Sacred Name: We dive into the revelation of "I AM," exploring the transition from knowing God as the "Almighty" to knowing Him as the eternal, self-existent Jehovah who is "at hand." Bricks Without Straw: We discuss the "Exodus Paradox"—why things often get harder right after we decide to follow God's will—and how to find the "spiritual straw" to keep going. Call-to-Action: Which of Moses' excuses do you find yourself using most often? How has the Lord answered those fears in your own life? Let's strengthen each other in the comments.

[00:30] Iran's Parliament Speaker Sounds Just Like Tucker Carlson (36 minutes) President Donald Trump has announced that regime change has already happened in Iran, even as Israel faces its largest ballistic missile salvo since the start of the monthlong war. The speaker of Iran's parliament takes to X, seeking common cause with a growing sect in America that believes Trump is doing Israel's bidding. Meanwhile, Australia finds itself without options after two decades of foolish energy policy. [36:00] The Red Sea Comes Into Focus (21 minutes) Is Iran ready to play its next card in controlling the Red Sea? Bible prophecy has a lot to say about Iran's ability to control more than just the Strait of Hormuz.
As the Strait of Hormuz continues to be a chokepoint for oil, our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets and our Head of Commodity Research Martijn Rats discuss possible outcomes for the interconnected market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Martijn Rats: I'm Martijn Rats, Head of Commodity Research at Morgan Stanley. Andrew Sheets: And today in the program: Oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain restricted. The implications for global energy markets and what may lie ahead.It's Wednesday, April 1st at 2pm in London. So, Martijn, it's great to sit down with you again. Three weeks ago, we were having this conversation; a conversation that was a little bit alarming about the scale of the disruption of the oil market with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and how that could have ripple effects through the global economy. Three weeks later, oil is still not flowing. What is happening? And what has maybe surprised you? Or been in line with expectations over the last couple of weeks? Martijn Rats: Yeah. Many things have been in line with expectations, in the sense that we're seeing the effects of the closure of the strait the earliest in regions that are physically the closest to the strait. So, we saw the first examples of physical shortages in, say, the west coast of India. Then we saw examples from the east coast of India From there on it's reverberated throughout Asia, where now governments have announced a whole host of. Effectively, energy demand, uh, management measures, uh, work from home, kids staying at home from school, um, cancellation of flights. There are quite many through, through Asia Also in Asia, we're seeing the type of prices that you would expect with this situation. Bunker fuel for shipping, somewhere between $150 to $200 a barrel. Jet fuel over $200 a barrel. Naphta going into Japan; naphta normally trades well below the headline price of Brent. Now $130 a barrel, that's more than double what it was in February. So, those things tell the story of this historic event. What has been surprising on the other end is how slow the reaction has been in many of the oil prices that we track the most. Like… Andrew Sheets: The numbers people will see on the news. You know, it's $100 a barrel maybe as we're talking. Martijn Rats: Yeah. It's strange to see jet fuel cargoes in Rotterdam more than $200 a barrel, but then the front month Brent future only trading at [$]100. That spread is historically wide and very surprising. But look, there are some reasons for it. The crude market had more buffers. There are a few other things. But how slow Brent futures have rallied? That has been somewhat surprising. Andrew Sheets: But you know, from those other prices you mentioned, those prices in Asia, those prices in Rotterdam that are maybe higher than the numbers that people might see on the news or on a financial website. Is it fair to say that in your mind that's sending a signal that this is a market that really is being affected by this? And being affected maybe in a larger way than the headline oil price might suggest? Martijn Rats: Oh, clearly. Look, the oil market is full with small price signals that tell the story of the underlying plumbing of the oil market. So, you can look at price differential. So, physically delivered cargoes versus financially traded futures. West African oil versus North Sea oil. Brazilian oil versus North Sea oil. Oil for immediate physical delivery versus the futures contract that trades a month out. And many of those spreads have rallied to all time highs. That is no exaggeration. And so, in an underlying sense, the stress in the market is clearly there. It is just that in front of Brent futures, which is the world's preferred speculative instrument to express a financial view on oil. Yeah, there the impact has been slower to come. But you're now seeing a lot of Asian refineries bidding for crudes that are further away in the Atlantic basin. So, demand is spreading to further away regions. And that should over time still put upward pressure on Brent. Andrew Sheets: In our first conversation, you know, you had this great walkthrough of both just putting the scale of this disruption in the Strait of Hormuz into the global context. How many barrels we're talking about, how that's a share of the global market. Maybe just might be helpful to revisit those numbers again. And also, some of the mitigation factors. You know, we talked about – well maybe we could release reserves, maybe some pipelines could be rerouted. Based on what you're currently seeing on the ground, what is this disruption looking like? Martijn Rats: Yeah, so to put things in context, global oil consumption is a bit more than 100 million barrels a day. That number lives in a lot of people's heads. But if you look at the market that is critical for price formation, that's really the seaborne market. You can imagine that if, say you're in China, and you have a shortage. But there is a pipeline from Canada into the United States – that pipeline's not really going to help you. What you need is a cargo that can be delivered to a port in Shanghai. So, the seaborne market is where prices are formed. That is roughly a 60 million barrel a day market, of which 20 million barrels a day flows through the Strait of Hormuz. So, for the relative market, the Strait of Hormuz is about a third. It's very, very large. Now, out of that 20 million barrel a day that is, in principle, in scope, there is still a little bit of Iranian oil flowing through. That continues. They let their own cargo through. Then Saudi Arabia has the East-West pipeline. They can divert some oil from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea. That's about 4 million barrels a day, incremental on top of the flow that already exist on that pipeline. The UAE has a pipeline that can divert half a million barrel a day. But you are still left with a problem that is in the order of 14-ish million barrels a day. You're going to have some SPR releases to offset that a little bit. But global SPRs can flow maybe 1 to 2 million barrels a day. You're very quickly left with a double digit shortage – and that is historically large… Andrew Sheets: And just to take it to history, I mean, again, if we were placing a 14 million barrel a day disruption in the context of some of these historical oil disruptions that people might have a memory of – what is the relative scale? Martijn Rats: Yeah. This is at the heart of why this is such a difficult period to manage. Like, normally we care about imbalances of 0.5 to 1 million. That gets interesting for oil analysts. At a million, you can expect prices to move. If you have dislocations in supply and amount of, say, 2 to 3 million barrels a day, you have historically epic moves that we talk about for decades, literally. Like in 2008, oil fell from $130 a barrel to [$]30 on the basis of two to three quarters of 2 million barrel a day oversupply. In 2022, around the Ukraine invasion, oil went from 60-70 bucks to something like [$]130 at the peak on the basis of the expectation, but not realized. This was just an expectation that Russia would lose 3 million barrels a day of productive capacity. And so, 2 to 3 million barrels a day normally already gets us to these outsized moves. And so, this event is four, five times larger than that. That means we don't have historical reference for what's currently happening. Andrew Sheets: I guess I'd like to now focus on the future and maybe I'll ask you to summarize two highly complex scenarios in a[n] overly simplified way. But let's say tonight we get an announcement that hostilities have ceased, that the strait is open, that oil can flow again. Or a second scenario where it's another three weeks from now, we're having this conversation again, and the strait is still closed. Could you just kind of help listeners understand what the energy market could look like under each of those scenarios? Martijn Rats: Yeah. So maybe to start off with the latter one. Because from an analytical perspective, that one is perhaps a bit easier. Look, if the Strait stays closed, at some point, consumption needs to decline. Andrew Sheets: Significantly. Martijn Rats: Yeah, significantly. We need demand destruction. Now that's easier said than done. Who gets to consume in those type of environments – are those who are willing to pay the most. And that means that certain consumers need to be priced out of the market. We tried to answer this question in 2022, and the collective answer that we all came up with is that you need prices for Brent – in money of the day – $150 or something thereabouts. That is not an exaggeration. Now, let's all hope we can avoid that scenario because that is… You know, that looks like a spectacular price. But that is not a beneficial scenario for anybody in the economy.The other scenario is more interesting, and it can actually be split in sort of two sub scenarios… Andrew Sheets: And this is the scenario where actually stuff starts flowing tomorrow. Martijn Rats: Exactly, exactly. If it completely flows like it always did – sure, we go back to the situation we had before these events. Brent can fall substantially – 70 bucks. Before these events we thought the oil market would be oversupplied. Who knows? True freedom of navigation may be even lower. But, at the moment, that doesn't quite look like that will be the scenario that's in front of us. What seems to be emerging is an outcome whereby this could deescalate but leave the Iranian regime structurally in control of the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. And if the Iranian regime continues to manage the flow as they currently do – cargo by cargo. Because there are some cargoes trickling out and there is a process that seems to be established for it. There seems to be a toll that seems to be paid. And if it remains that sort of relatively heavy handed -- This cargo goes, that cargo doesn't. Given that that will then manage 20 percent of global oil supply, that is not the same oil market that we had before. Like all of OPEC spare capacity would be behind this system. Would that spare capacity be available in the case of an emergency? Maybe, maybe not. This is only one of many questions. But if the Iranians stay in control of the strait, we will not return to the oil market that we once knew. Andrew Sheets: And is that fair to say we might need a higher, long-term oil price? A higher risk premium in future oil prices to offset some of that? Martijn Rats: Yes. I would say that that is very likely. First, a lot of the supply would be fundamentally less reliable. Second, we would have de minimis effective spare capacity in the system. Thirdly, if this is the scenario we are left with, that creates an enormous incentive for countries to start expanding their strategic storages. And building strategic inventories is like exerting demand. China has built a lot of strategic storage over the last two years. They are now in a better shape than if they hadn't. In the west, we've historically had strategic storage. But India for example, has none. And so, the rest of Southeast Asia, no strategic storage; a lot of strategic storage buying that will is price supportive. And also, look, the prices that we care about are the price of Brent and WTI, and they are not behind the Strait of Hormuz. They have higher security of delivery. You can totally see how refineries would be willing to pay premium for those crudes relative to others. So, when you add all of that up, it leaves you with a higher risk premium. That people would pay particularly for the crudes that form our perceptions about the oil market, Andrew Sheets: Martijn, one final question I'd love to ask you about is how the U.S. fits into all of this. You know, you do encounter this perception that the U.S. is energy independent. It produces a lot of oil. It's net energy neutral in terms of its imports-exports. You can correct me to the extent that's correct. But to what extent do you think it's true that the U.S. is more isolated energy wise from what's going on? And to what extent do you think that that could be a little bit misleading given a global interconnected market? Martijn Rats: Look, the United States is in a better position than many other countries, that's for sure. China, it's a very large importer of oil Europe, very large importer of oil, uh, and at least the United States has, has a much bigger base of its own production. Um, But the practical reality is also that that is, I would just say, mostly sort of a volume argument, but not a price argument. The United States is a net exporter of oil. But that is a net effect after very large imports and very large exports. It's just that the exports are a little bit bigger than the imports… Andrew Sheets: So, it's a lot of flow in both directions… Martijn Rats: There is an enormous flow in both directions and that connects the United States with the rest of the world. In the end, in the seaborne market, there really is only one oil price and we all pay it, including the United States. But nevertheless, relative to other parts of the world, yeah, better positioned, Andrew Sheets: But still not immune from what's going on. Martijn Rats: No, no. We're all connected. Andrew Sheets: Martin, it's been wonderful talking with you and while I hope to catch up with you again soon, if we're not talking again in three weeks, it maybe is a good sign. Martijn Rats: Might be. Thank you, Andrew. Andrew Sheets: And thank you, as always, for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen.

The Iranian regime-backed Houthi movement in Yemen seems to have entered the conflict against the United States and Israel as they launched two missiles at Israel, creating a third front for the Jewish state in its current war against the Islamic Republic and its other terror proxy, Hezbollah, in Lebanon. Both missiles were intercepted by IDF defense systems but experts say this could be signaling Tehran's last lifeline in the fight. The Houthis are in a very strategic position to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies Iran Program, who says the Houthis would get the command from the IRGC which says a lot about Iran's diminished capabilities.

//The Wire//2300Z March 30, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: STRATEGIC CONCERNS REMAIN AS WAR IN MIDDLE EAST HIGHLIGHTS AMERICAN VULNERABILITIES. HOUTHIS JOIN THE WAR WITH MISSILE ATTACKS ON ISRAEL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Middle East: The situation continues to deteriorate as Iranian attacks throughout the region have become vastly more effective over the past few days. Iranian targeting of locations in Israel has continued to increase, with multiple targets being struck over the weekend. The refinery in Haifa was struck yesterday afternoon, which resulted in a fire at the facility. Separately, a factory was hit in the industrial zone in Neot Havov, which also resulted in a fire. American bases in Kuwait were also hit overnight, with Iranian missiles targeting barracks facilities.Red Sea: Over the weekend, the Houthis entered the war, firing one cruise missile toward Israel.Analyst Comment: The Houthi's have chosen a soft-start to the war, and the missile that was fired was reportedly intercepted. Nevertheless, this is an indication that another front has been opened up, and since the FORD CSG is no longer in the Red Sea (due to moving off-station for repairs), missile defense in the region is less effective at the precise moment that the Houthis are entering the war.Saudi Arabia: Following a series of Iranian airstrikes, several strategic American aircraft were destroyed at Prince Sultan Air Base. Several KC-135 refueling tankers were destroyed, along with at least one E-3 Sentry AWACS early warning aircraft. Concerning casualties, official casualty figures were classified at the beginning of the war, however the Pentagon reports approximately 10x US service members were wounded during this attack.Jerusalem: Controversy has continued throughout the Old City as Israeli forces continue to inflame tensions with Christians throughout the region. Yesterday, Israeli police disrupted Palm Sunday proceedings as Cardinal Pizzaballa of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem was prevented from attending the procession at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Analyst Comment: This incident was so deliberate that even Mike Huckabee spoke out against it, calling the incident "unfortunate overreach". Considering Huckabee's infamy on this issue at this point, combined with the historical record (and the biblical context), it's a helpful barometer to gauge how serious of an incident this was, which increases tensions at a time when the stakes are already quite high around the region.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The successful Iranian strike at Prince Sultan Air Base was very significant for many reasons. For one, taking out major American assets is a big deal, and the loss of EW aircraft will degrade American capabilities. The most obvious question is why these aircraft were being staged within Iranian missile range in the first place. The answer to this will be debatable: maybe military leadership knew the danger and decided that the risk was worth it, or maybe they got cocky and ignored the risk. There's no way to know right now, but it is not a great look for the US Air Force to put these airframes well within striking range of the Iranians. For context, the B-52's which are conducting bombing raids in Iran are mostly being launched all the way from England, simply due to the risk of housing them closer to the fight. However, when it comes to some aircraft, we gave the Iranians clean access to "Tanker Row", which allowed them to destroy several strategic aircraft on the ground.This small detail, while not particularly groundbreaking, also serves as a reminder for how complicated wars can be. Nothing is as simple as the textbook says it will be, and in wartime everything gets vastly more difficult. Vulnerabilities also increase because when things get complicated, the stakes are higher,

TV Smith joins Nate to discuss the 50th anniversary of The Adverts, an Australian tour backed by The Hard-Ons, and a career full of great songs and terrible label luck. Topics Include: TV Smith is touring Australia in April with The Hard-Ons. The tour celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Adverts. The Hard-Ons are already learning the surprisingly complex Adverts songs. TV finds it odd but joyful to still be performing. He got back into vinyl to quality-check his own releases. Bowie, Roxy Music, and reggae were key early influences for TV. The Sex Pistols made TV believe he could actually do this. The Roxy Club punk scene started with just 30 people. Brian James of The Damned personally recommended The Adverts to Stiff. They recorded One Chord Wonders in a single afternoon at Pathway. Stiff misspelled the title and controversially centred Gaye Advert on the cover. Gary Gilmore's Eyes was TV's satirical response to exploitative media coverage. The BBC was deeply reluctant to air Gary Gilmore's Eyes on TV. Anchor Records collapsed mid-momentum, leaving The Adverts suddenly without a label. Crossing the Red Sea was recorded at Abbey Road with John Leckie. Gary Gilmore's Eyes was left off the album deliberately — vinyl runtime constraints. RCA signed them against their own A&R team's wishes — chaos followed. Cast of Thousands suffered a botched mix, a terrible cover, label indifference. Channel 5 was finally properly remastered after the producer found a safety tape. TV is bringing vinyl to the merch table — especially the Handwriting LP.
