The Last Trade: Jackson, Michael, and Brian break down AI job displacement, the Strait of Hormuz oil shock, hot PPI data, Wyoming hoarding gold, ETF inflows resuming, the Bitrefill hack, and why the Fed is trapped like a rat.---

Author & Geopolitics Expert Gordon Chang joins Sid to discuss the Iran conflict and rising oil prices are financially benefiting Russia and could tilt the Russia-Ukraine war of attrition in Moscow's favor, despite Chang saying Ukraine currently has battlefield initiative. Chang argues the U.S. should seize Russian “dark ships” and stop Iranian oil transits through the Strait of Hormuz to cut funding for Russia and Iran. He says the conflicts are interconnected in a broader global struggle against Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, and claims China is aiding Iran with intelligence and weapons, making it inappropriate for President Trump to visit Beijing, a trip Trump postponed. Chang supports Trump's actions against Iran, citing Iran's enriched uranium and missile capabilities, and disputes outgoing counterterrorism director Joe Kent's claim of no imminent threat.

2026-03-16 | UPDATES #146 | Spectacular explosions in Russia – Ukraine has gone after something bigger than another refinery fire and more consequential than just another spectacular ammo dump explosion on Russian soil. Overnight on March 11–12, 2026, Ukrainian drones struck infrastructure at the Tikhoretsk oil pumping station in Krasnodar Krai — a hub that multiple outlets describe as one of the largest oil logistics nodes in southern Russia. Reuters, citing a source in Ukraine's SBU, says the strike hit the pumping station and triggered a large fire. Russian regional authorities also acknowledged the attack and said emergency crews were fighting a blaze. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv next month, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

In an age of grinding wars, nuclear brinkmanship, and political volatility, what does strategy really mean - and how do leaders make decisions when the world feels chaotic? In this episode, Lawrence Freedman draws on decades of scholarship and his experience as official historian of the Falklands War and adviser to the UK's Iraq inquiry to explore how strategy evolves under pressure. Together with Adam McCauley, Freedman discusses the long arc of the Russia–Ukraine conflict and the opportunities seized and missed along the way. They examine the uneasy balance between rational calculation and irrational impulse in global conflict, whether Putin could be serious about nuclear escalation, and whether Donald Trump's unpredictable actions on the world stage represent the absence of strategy - or a strategy in itself.

In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, we dive deep into the rapidly evolving situation in Iran and its immediate effects on global markets and the economy. Geopolitical events move fast, and while the instinct may be to react, history tells a much more nuanced story about market resilience.We break down the central role of oil prices, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and why the U.S. economy's shift toward being an energy exporter changes the math on GDP drag compared to decades past.In this video, we discuss:- Historical Precedents: How markets recovered after the Gulf War, 9/11, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.- Safe Haven Assets: Why gold, U.S. Treasuries, and the Dollar behave the way they do during uncertainty.- Sector Winners/Losers: A look at defense-related stocks, value stocks, and the potential for an AI value rotation.- The Power of Diversification: Why avoiding recency bias and sticking to a long-term plan is your best defense against volatility.Protect your portfolio from emotional decision-making. Watch until the end to hear our outlook on the "Soft Landing" and why leaning on professional advice is critical during times of war.

Meghna Maharishi covers the latest on the airline and travel sector. She estimates that the U.S./Iran war could cost airlines up to $24 billion extra in fuel. However, she thinks they will pay less by cutting flights and conserving cash in other ways. If not, this would “wipe out” profits across the sector, she says. “This could be particularly bad for the ultra-low cost carriers,” she adds. Meghna compares the impact of the conflict to the impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict in 2022. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomic Aeronautical Systems, Dr. Eugene Rumer, the director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the implications of the US-Israel war on Iran on Moscow; how Washington should respond to Moscow's sharing of intelligence to help Tehran strike US forces and allies in the region; update on Russia's war on Ukraine as Kyiv works with allies and partners to develop capabilities to better defend itself; the message lifting of US energy sanctions on Russia would send and how such a move would improve Moscow's financial prospects; Ukraine's pledge to help Washington and allies better defend themselves against attack drones like Iran's Shahed; whether US operations worldwide including in Venezuela and Iran bolster Washington's hand in negotiating with Moscow; Lithuania's assessment that Russia is increasing forces on NATO's borders; and Russia's efforts to fight corruption.

Iran has — for years — been developing drone technology to share with adversaries of the United States and Israel. And now, Iran's military is using them for attacks in Israel and countries hosting American troops. The first American deaths in the U.S.-Israel military operation against Iran were in a one-way drone attack in Kuwait. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is considered to be the first real drone war, with both sides using them for attacks on a large scale. Their use in military strikes dates back about 20 years. FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster recently spoke with FOX News Contributor and Army Special Operations Intelligence Analyst Brett Velicovich about his experience using drones in combat and how they're changing the battlefield. Velicovich, who is also the founder of the drone company Powerus, talked about the use of drones in Operation Epic Fury and his concerns about terrorists using them anywhere in the world — including the U.S. We often have to trim our interviews during the week, but we thought you'd like to hear the full conversation.

NDC should dare not attribute its mismanagement of the economy to the US-Israeli-Iran conflict because it will never be accepted. If the Russia-Ukraine war was not considered a valid factor affecting Ghana's economy in 2020, then attempts to use such conflicts as excuses going forward will also be rejected. - Richard Ahiagbah, Director of Communications, NPP

In this episode, Kerry Lutz chats with Charles Nenner about the return of long-term war cycles and rising global tensions. They break down the Russia–Ukraine conflict, NATO's role, and historical promises to the Soviets, while warning the war could persist unless stances change. Nenner also flags China–Taiwan as the next major flashpoint and outlines the tough choices the U.S. may face around intervention. Markets are next on the radar.

Along the way, they touch on media influence, AI analysis errors, and personal experiences that underscore just how unpredictable these times can be.

Join Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys on the Wide World Segment as they we sit down with Dr Samir Puri, former UK diplomat and author of "Westlessness", to explore one of the most urgent geopolitical questions of our era: Is global power shifting from West to East—and what does that really mean? Dr Puri’s book arrives at a moment of profound global upheaval. With Donald Trump back in the White House, the Russia‑Ukraine war grinding into its fourth year, China’s economic momentum slowing, and far‑right movements gaining traction across Europe, the traditional anchors of Western influence look increasingly unstable. In Westlessness, Dr Puri argues that while wealth has undeniably been flowing eastward—towards China, India, Indonesia and other rising powers—the story is far more complex when viewed through demographic, military, cultural, and technological lenses. He examines whether the West, long accustomed to setting global norms, will willingly relinquish its privileged position, and whether the East is ready—or even willing—to assume a leadership role in a more diverse, multipolar world. Nothing about this transition is linear or predictable. Dr Puri helps us understand the forces reshaping the global order and what it means for businesses, policymakers, and individuals navigating an increasingly fragmented landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Sam Bendett of the Center for Naval Analyses and Dr. Eugene Rumer, the director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss an assessment of Russia's war Ukraine as the conflict enters its fifth year; update on the fighting and impact of SpaceX's decision to suspend Russian access to StarLink data; whether Vladimir Putin as more vulnerable as the war takes its toll on Russia's finances and economy; what will convince Moscow to back off its maximalist demands; key transformations in warfighting over the past four years as both sides have struggled to gain advantage; prospect an economic deal with Moscow that would see US industry rebuild Russia would convince Russian leaders to turn away from Beijing; whether it's reasonable to expect Ukraine to hold elections in May as demanded by President Trump; and what to expect in year five of the conflict.

The Supreme Court struck down the way President Trump imposed broad tariffs, so those duties could be invalidated and refunded. His administration shifted to a temporary 15% tariff under a different law, meaning tariffs may continue but in a narrower or time-limited form. An Arizona couple reportedly found gloves possibly tied to a cartel killing, though details remain limited. The Russia-Ukraine war is still ongoing, with continued fighting and strained diplomatic efforts. Mark takes your calls!  Mark interviews columnist John Fund. John and Mark discuss what they see as questionable motives in Democratic messaging on the issue about Voter ID laws. They examine claims that voter ID requirements disproportionately impact Black voters, and question whether suggesting minorities are unable to obtain identification is itself offensive or patronizing. John breaks down the statistics often cited in the debate and explains the percentage of Americans - including minority voters - who already possess government-issued ID. John and Mark argue that identification is required for many everyday activities in the United States and around the world, and they question why voting should be treated differently.

It's the Blizzard of 2026, and Mark gives us an update on the storm and how many inches of snow the tri-state area has gotten. NYC may not have enough shovelers to help remove all the snow throughout the city. Tomorrow is the State of the Union address to the nation. Could Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat Chuck Schumer in a Senate race? Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. Ed breaks down what President Donald Trump has to do at the State of the Union tomorrow night to seal the deal for his party. Trump has to show a lot of class tomorrow and not come out as nasty. The cost of a possible war in the Middle East could cost Americans tons of money.

Tuesday's Geneva talks ended without a breakthrough as Iranian live-fire drills escalated tensions near U.S. naval forces. Meanwhile, U.S.-brokered Russia-Ukraine negotiations concluded day one with little progress reported.
