In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate Thurston discusses the current housing affordability crisis and former President Trump's proposal for 50-year mortgages. Nate examines the complexities and potential downsides of longer mortgage terms, emphasizing that the root problem lies in the supply and demand imbalance in the housing market. He suggests that government regulations, state and local zoning laws, and various economic factors are contributing to the housing shortage. Nate also touches upon the role of institutional investors, immigration, and tariffs on building materials in exacerbating the crisis.

The technology industry has spent heavily on all things AI, from training large language models (LLMs) to building up the infrastructure required to meet demand. Investments across a range of sectors with exposure to the AI boom, including cloud computing, chips, data centers and the power grid, have lifted economic growth and supported financial markets through a period of global uncertainty. One estimate from McKinsey & Co. suggests that demand for new and updated digital infrastructure will require an estimated $19 trillion in investments through 2040. Much of this capital will come from institutional investors. Supply-demand dynamics, the impact of new innovations, and the pace of adoption will help guide investors as they determine how to allocate their exposure to AI. This episode of The Outthinking Investor explores growth opportunities and potential challenges across the AI ecosystem. Experts discuss sectors that stand to benefit from AI, intense demand for AI infrastructure, managing obsolescence risk, and whether AI can deliver on expectations for productivity and returns. Our guests are: Richard Waters, Technology Writer-at-Large for the Financial Times Owen Hyde, Managing Director and Equity Research Analyst at Jennison Learn more about the AI boom by visiting Jennison's AI Resource Center (https://www.jennison.com/campaignCountry/en/institutional/perspectives/ai-resource-center).

What if markets move not by logic, but by pressure? In this conversation, Alan Dunne and Yoav Git trace the invisible currents behind price formation, namely how a single dollar of inflow can lift valuations fivefold, and why that distortion challenges everything the efficient market promised. From the slow mechanics of supply and demand to the moral hazards of policy and liquidity, the discussion follows money as it reshapes narrative. They revisit research that foresaw inflation's return, and question why QIS indices so often fade in practice.

Livestock Marketing Specialist Comments On What Is Next For Cattle & Beef Markets Despite recent volatility, cattle market fundamentals remain unchanged. Supply and demand conditions are the same as they were three weeks ago — but political noise and policy rumors have fueled short-term panic across the beef industry. Beef Imports & Tariff Talk: LImited Real Impact Recent political chatter around increased beef imports from Argentina and reduced tariffs on Brazilian beef has rattled markets, but the actual impact is minimal. Argentina remains an insignificant import source with no effect on U.S. beef prices. Lower tariffs on Brazil might slightly increase processing beef imports, returning the market to pre-August conditions, when lean trimming prices hit record highs. Even with these changes, steak and high-quality beef prices in the U.S. will remain unaffected. Data gaps from the government shutdown make short-term analysis difficult, but fundamentals are steady. USDA's Beef Industry Proposals Offer Long-Term, Not Immediate, Relief The USDA's “Fortify the American Beef Industry” initiative includes regulatory updates, expanded access to grazing lands, and new packing infrastructure. While positive for the future, these measures won't impact cattle supply, demand, or prices in the short term. Even if Mexican cattle imports resume, any market effect will take months to appear, leaving current feeder cattle supplies largely unchanged. China Trade Rumors Could Support Future Prices Talks of a potential U.S.–China trade thaw could eventually boost beef exports. A year ago, China accounted for 15.3% of U.S. beef exports; by July, that share had collapsed to 1.2%. Reopening this market would add significant price support for U.S. cattle producers. So far, record-high domestic prices have masked the loss of the Chinese export channel, but renewed trade would strengthen fundamentals moving forward. Political Volatility Delays Industry Recovery While political developments may bring both risks and opportunities, the net impact remains marginal. The two- to four-year price outlook for cattle and beef is unchanged. However, continued government intervention and political rhetoric add uncertainty — a real cost to producers, consumers, and lenders. This instability will likely slow herd rebuilding efforts, already projected to extend through the end of the decade.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: November 7, 2025 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center End Game: The Supreme Court, IEEPA Tariffs, and What Comes Next This week on Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen takes inspiration from Taylor Swift's End Game to unpack one of the most closely watched moments in international trade this year — the Supreme Court hearing on the IEEPA tariff case. Speaking from Detroit while traveling during the ongoing federal shutdown, Cindy breaks down the key issues debated before the Court, from the meaning of “regulate imports” to the limits of presidential authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). She also covers the new Section 232 tariffs on heavy-duty trucks and buses, the reduction in flights ordered by the FAA amid the shutdown, and the possible ripple effects across global supply chains. What You'll Learn in This Episode: New Section 232 tariffs effective November 10: • 25% on heavy-duty trucks • 10% on buses • Carve-outs for emergency vehicles • Country limitations — UK (10%), EU (15%), Japan (15%) Reduction of IEEPA fentanyl tariffs to 10% Details of the longest federal shutdown in U.S. history and its impact on: • Air travel (10–15% reduction in flights) • Cargo movement and trucking • Supply chain coordination Key moments from the Supreme Court IEEPA hearing (Nov 5): • Justices debate the meaning of “regulate imports” • Split questioning along ideological lines • Discussion on licensing fees, tariffs, and refund logistics What happens next — possible outcomes of the Court's decision and their trade implications Key Takeaways: The IEEPA case could reshape presidential trade authority and future tariff enforcement. Refund scenarios range from automatic government-issued payments to lengthy entry-by-entry protests. Even if IEEPA duties are struck down, Section 232 or 122 authorities could be used to reimpose tariffs. De minimis relief is unlikely to return, regardless of the IEEPA ruling. The decision may come faster than usual — possibly within a month — under pressure to resolve before 2026.

Angela Woody talks about her career journey; learning to let go of inherited beliefs; making IT investments; & the guiding principles that have shaped her life. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [04.09] Angela's coincidental career – how volunteering at an event led to an internship that led to a full-time role at Kimberly-Clark. "It was a happenstance!... Someone took a chance on me." [08.41] Angela's 13-year tenure at Kimberly-Clark: how her career progressed, what she learned, and her biggest achievements. "Working for a global manufacturing company, you just had a wealth of opportunities… There was an opportunity to work on a first-of-a-kind project… and on that project, I could be innovative, experimental – it was career-changing." [14.21] Why Angela made a move from large CPG to small healthcare business, and how she changed her assumptions around what a stable, long-term career should look like. [17.45] What Angela loves about supply chain. "Supply chain is not a flashy job! … It's dirty, and for some reason that sparked my intertest... Supply chain is the last thing that's going to touch a product before it's delivered to the customer, that's our responsibility – and I fell in love with that." [21.40] How the pandemic shone a light on the industry, and why hesitation to make capital investments in IT systems is one of the biggest challenges in supply chain right now. "2020 was a blessing in disguise for supply chain. It brought some immediate visibility into how fragile our global supply chain really is – and it finally became a topic in the boardroom." "The companies that are truly making the investment in IT, making the investment in upgrades, they're the ones that are winning." [24.40] Why change management is still such a big problem, and how businesses should be approaching it for success. "Change management takes focus, time, resources and empathy. Change management is one of the most underleveraged capabilities, and I've seen many IT transformations fail because of a lack of investment in it." [27.40] Angela's 'Bring Your Kid To Work Day' experience with her daughter, and how we engage the upcoming generations in supply chain. "I have two girls, and I want to be a role model for them. I want to show them they can do anything they set their minds to, as long as they work hard." [31.31] Angela's experience as a woman in supply chain and technology. [35.15] The guiding principles that have shaped Angela's success, in life and work. [36.08] The importance of mentorship, and how Angela supports the next generations. "When I first started, mentorship wasn't something that was available, or even discussed… So, as we've evolved, and have seen its importance, I've taken male and female mentees and worked with them to have an opportunity to talk about things – I wish I had that." [38.35] The future for Angela. "I've worked hard to be where I am, but the feeling you get when you spend time out in the community and truly give back, is very special to me."

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
8300 Buckeye v. UPS Supply
Land isn't just dirt under buildings—it's the world's oldest, strangest asset, worth an estimated $180T, quietly steering credit cycles, politics, and who gets to build the future. Economist editor and Money Talks host Mike Bird joins us to decode the “land trap”: why superstar cities underbuild, how mortgages turned banks into land-collateral machines, and what Japan's 1980s super-bubble can (and can't) teach us about China's managed deflation today. We trace ownership from Babylonian stone ledgers to modern cadastres, ask whether America ever ran a de facto “land standard,” and explore pragmatic exits: build where demand is, deepen capital markets so homes aren't the only savings vehicle, and tax land value uplift to fund infrastructure. ---

Laurent and Gerard have an explosive conversation with Bryan Long, Executive Director in JPMorgan's Commodities Group.They explore why U.S. energy market signals are failing to support new capacity investments, despite soaring demand (especially from datacenters). Key issues include misaligned pricing, liquidity constraints, and hedging challenges, all of which deter long-term private capital.Key Takeaways: Current price signals don't support investment in new generation, even as large load growth (e.g., datacenters) is accelerating. Market structures must evolve to better reflect long-term price signals and attract private capital. Supply-side issues: New natural gas peakers and battery storage (BESS) face fragmented development, rising CAPEX, procurement delays, and tariff risks. Industry response: Major consolidation in the IPP space—private equity-backed assets are being acquired by integrated players seeking scale for hyperscaler deals.Possible solutions may include Repricing of forward curves, Government-backed long-term contracts, Regulatory reforms, Technological advancements Bottom line: Something must shift—be it policy, pricing, or tech—to align investment incentives with future demand growth. The next several years should be great for traders in the middle of the action.Conclusion: Between the Large Load Growth and the Investment Capital, who will blink first? ------------ Bryan Long is an Executive Director in JPMorgan's Commodities Group, focused on wholesale power & renewable energy transactions. With 20yrs+ experience across various U.S. Power trading, origination and management roles, he has deep understandings of electricity market structures.

October 28, 2025We prayed together and sat with the David–Goliath account as a living picture of spiritual warfare. We noted how “Saul's armor” symbolizes the flesh and false teaching that never fits us, while God quietly prepares us in hidden places to trust Him. With the “sling” of faith and the “stone” of truth, we run toward loud enemies—fear, doubt, accusation—resting in Christ's sufficiency. We affirmed that our Shepherd corrects, protects, and leads; His love is never tied to our performance. We need one local assembly where we become a “joint that supplies,” sharing the overflow of His love.TopicsGod prepares us behind the scenes for intimacy and battle“Saul's armor” = flesh/self-protection/false teaching that does not fitThe sling of faith and the stone of truth overcome loud enemiesOur Shepherd's rod and staff: correction, protection, guidance, careSheep reality: we cannot feed, guide, protect, or cleanse ourselvesNo condemnation in Christ; accusers fall silent in His loveCleansed conscience vs. defiled conscience activated by liesOne local assembly: Christ the Head; we become a joint that suppliesLove not tied to performance—He performs what He requiresTrials soften our will so love can flow to othersKey MomentsWe refused “armor of the flesh” and ran in God's strength.We pictured faith as a sling and Christ's word as the smooth stone.We recognized how accusation tries to crush, but Christ defends and frees.We thanked God for fathering care and perfect timing in our stories.We closed with gratitude for our local assembly and asked for grace to rest in what He has already done.Practice This WeekWhen fear, suspicion, or irritation rises, pick up one “stone” of truth and answer it out loud in faith.Receive the Shepherd's gentle correction; let Him inspect and heal hidden “injuries.”Supply another member: share one overflow of encouragement you received.Guard fellowship: keep fleshly substitutes and self-protection off the table.Reflection QuestionWhere am I still trying to make “Saul's armor” fit, and what would it look like today to drop it and trust the Shepherd with the sling of faith instead?

Global Commodities and UK Political Turmoil: Copper Prices Soar and Starmer's Tax U-Turn Guest: Simon Constable Simon Constable reports that copper prices are soaring to $5.18, up 20 percent, due to insufficient supply to meet demand from electric vehicles and artificial intelligence applications. In the United Kingdom, he notes Labour leader Keir Starmer reversed his tax pledge amidst poor productivity forecasts and failing reforms. Constable details the collapse of a high-profile China espionage case, possibly because UK espionage laws remain outdated from before World War I and China was not formally designated a hostile state at the time. He also highlights the troubling advice given by police to Israeli football fans to avoid attending a match due to safety concerns.

3. Supply vs. Demand: Economic Shocks, Entitlements, and the Invisible Population Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt explores the competing explanations for the ghost army, contrasting his supply-side argument (men holding back labor/unpreparedness) with demand-side views from critics Henry Olsen and Jared Bernstein. Olsen highlights the role of economic shocks and structural changes, like the 1970s stagflation and deindustrialization (the Rust Belt). The role of entitlements is significant, as over half of NILF men receive at least one benefit, often disability payments like SSDI. Regional differences in labor force participation (e.g., high inactivity in West Virginia adjacent to low inactivity in Maryland) mitigate a purely national demand-side case. The source stresses the lack of data on the estimated 25 million ex-convicts, who are an "invisible population" largely untracked by labor statistics. 1929
