Tensions in the Middle East have reached a critical point. The recent escalation between Israel and Iran, combined with a surprise U.S. bombing raid reportedly ordered by former President Donald Trump, has sent shockwaves through global markets. In this episode, we break down what this means for your money, investments, and the global economy. Watch video version - https://youtu.be/-0se6ml0Iyc Whenever conflict erupts in the Middle East, one of the first indicators to spike is oil prices—and this time is no different. This rise affects everything from transportation costs to food prices, meaning inflation could once again creep into your monthly budget. Managing your money is important especially in uncertain times. Check out my SMART MONEY COURSE - https://bit.ly/4klq0mv Brent Crude could reach $120 or even $130 a barrel if the war escalates or the Hormuz Straights close, according to JP Morgan, which would be disastrous for the world economy. Stock markets have also reacted. Defence stocks rallied, while airline, travel, and tech sectors took a hit. Investors are shifting towards "safe havens" like gold, which jumped 5% in just 24 hours. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar strengthened slightly amid uncertainty, and cryptocurrencies saw mixed movements, with Bitcoin showing volatility as traders assess global risk. UK defence shares, such as BAE (up 30% this year), Babcock (50% rise) and Rolls Royce (41%) following the West's promise to increase defence spending in the wake of the Ukraine war. Beyond markets, the long-term consequences could be even more serious. Rising global tensions may lead to further military spending, reduced investor confidence, and slower economic growth—especially in already fragile economies. What does this mean for everyday people? Expect higher fuel costs, more expensive imports, and potentially increased taxes if governments shift more funding to defence. For investors, diversification and risk management are more important than ever. In this episode of the Money Tips Podcast, I'll explore the broader implications of this geopolitical crisis and offer practical advice on how to protect your finances.

Today's chat is all about the wild ride of eminent domain, where a township is eyeing a long-standing family farm in Cranberry, New Jersey, to snag it for some shiny new affordable housing. I mean, come on! This farm has been in the family for 175 years, and they've said a big fat “no thanks” to offers up to $30 million! It's a classic case of David versus Goliath, and I'm feeling a little fired up, especially since I'm gearing up to tussle with the State of Oregon myself over some property rights. We're diving into the nitty-gritty of what happens when government swoops in and takes land, and trust me, it's not just a walk in the park. So grab a comfy seat, because we're about to unpack some serious issues that hit home for so many of us!Tensions are rising in Cranberry, New Jersey, where a family farm that's been in the Henry family for 175 years is facing the looming threat of eminent domain. Eric G dives into this hot topic during his midweek update, and let me tell you, he's not holding back! As he shares the story of this family's fight against the township's decision to seize their land for 'affordable housing,' you can practically feel the sparks flying. We're talking about a farm that's been lovingly tended and cherished through generations, now being eyed by developers and local government for something they deem more 'useful.' Eric's frustration is palpable as he discusses the ridiculousness of the situation—especially when the family has turned down offers of up to $30 million! He argues passionately that when the government comes knocking, they should at least offer fair compensation—something that seems to be missing in this case. But wait, there's more! Eric draws parallels with his own battle in Lake Oswego, Oregon, where he's feeling the heat as the state begins to encroach on his lake rights. He shares his personal experience, bringing a relatable twist to the conversation about property rights and the government's role in urban development. With a mix of humor and genuine concern, Eric paints a picture of what it means for everyday citizens when their rights are jeopardized. He emphasizes the importance of standing up against these injustices, not just for the Henry family but for all of us who have invested our lives into our homes and properties. This episode is a wake-up call, urging listeners to consider the implications of eminent domain and to reflect on the value of our homes, our rights, and our communities. Eric's call to arms is clear: if we don't stand up for ourselves, who will? He's got plans to collaborate with the Institute for Justice, and we're all waiting with bated breath to see how this saga unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates on both the Cranberry farm and Eric's own fight in Oregon as they navigate these choppy waters of property rights and government overreach!Takeaways: Eric G dives into the controversial issue of eminent domain, highlighting a New Jersey farm's struggle against its impending seizure for affordable housing. The podcast emphasizes the emotional weight of losing a family farm that's been in the family for 175 years, sparking a broader discussion on property rights. Listeners are encouraged to understand the complexities of urban renewal and the importance of fair compensation when government seizes private land. Eric shares his personal fight against the State of Oregon over lake rights, emphasizing the need for citizens to stand up against unjust takings.

Its a fairly reflective, contemplative, episode (with a few joyful party plugs along the way!) which we hope will give you pause for thought. We mentioned the summer party on 2nd July, do join us!

In light of recent tensions between Israel and Iran, as well as the involvement of global superpower the United States, academics have raised concerns about nuclear proliferation and its consequences in the Middle East as well as on a global stage. As the need for nuclear deterrence is critical, the latest exchange of attacks between involved parties risks escalating conflict in the region and presents an urgent challenge for diplomatic relationships to diffuse the situation. Producer Sara spoke to University of Auckland International and Political Relations doctoral student Tom Wilkinson about this topic, including the risk of nuclear proliferation in the region. She began by asking him to explain the recent events between Israel and Iran in the broader context of global militarisation and history of nuclear armament.

He added that if those effects failed to materialise, it could lead to an earlier rate cut.BoJ board member Tamura said that if upward price risks heightened, the BoJ could face a situation where it would need to raise rates decisively, even if uncertainty remained high, adding that he does not see 0.5% as a barrier for BoJ rate hikes.Fox's Gasparino posted that Team Trump said it was close to announcing a handful of trade deals. The major ones the White House claimed progress on involved Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam.Looking ahead, highlights include US Building Permits, CNB Policy Announcement; NATO Summit, Fed SLR meeting, BoE's Lombardelli, Pill, Greene; Fed's Powell; US President Trump, Supply from Italy, UK, US, and Earnings from General Mills, Paychex, Micron, Babcock.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

In a jam-packed series of broadcasts, Tara takes listeners through a whirlwind of global and domestic upheaval. Tensions flare in the Middle East as Trump distances himself from Israel amid claims of a broken ceasefire with Iran, while conflicting narratives emerge around the destruction—or survival—of Iran's nuclear capabilities. Back home, New York City teeters on the edge as a socialist candidate promises rent freezes and government-run grocery stores, echoing Marxist strategies and threatening America's financial epicenter. Meanwhile, Democrats scramble to slow a massive self-deportation wave, using activist judges to undermine Supreme Court rulings and protect the chain migration system fueling their future voter base. With layered commentary on military history, immigration policy, driving safety anecdotes, and Trump's hardline deportation strategy, this broadcast captures a nation at a pivotal crossroads—bracing for what comes next.
Tensions escalate as Israel prepares retaliatory strikes on Iran following a deadly civilian attack, while Donald Trump distances himself publicly—yet appears to be greenlighting Israel's actions behind the scenes.

As Mossad pressures Iran's second-tier military leadership after wiping out the first, the region braces for chaos. Meanwhile, NATO sounds alarms over China's massive military buildup, fueling concerns of a Taiwan invasion. Tara and Lee unpack the tangled geopolitics, Trump's diplomatic strategy, and the emerging threat of World War III.

After a punishing 12-day exchange of rockets and airstrikes, President Trump stepped before the cameras to declare that Israel and Iran had agreed to an American-brokered cease-fire. The truce, he said, would “give the region a chance to breathe and chart a path toward lasting stability.” But within hours, scattered artillery fire and a barrage of drone attacks shattered the fragile calm. The president, clearly frustrated, blasted both governments in an unscripted statement to the media.

Tensions are growing in the Middle East as the war between Israel and Iran enters its second week.

On the afternoon of September 6, 1848, the progressive Rabbi Avraham Kohn (1807-1848) of Lemberg (Lvov in Polish) in Austrian Galicia, was poisoned to death. Who assassinated him? What were their motives? With the Austrian takeover of Galicia following the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, the ancient, large and prestigious Jewish communities of that region experienced seismic changes. Lvov was the largest and most prominent Jewish community in all of Galicia. In this large urban center, many factions within the Jewish community arose in the early decades of the 19th century. When the minority progressive faction imported a rabbi from Austria and installed him as rabbi of their temple in 1843, tensions rose, and the Orthodox elite establishment, as well as the Orthodox majority of the community were vehemently opposed to his arrival. Well beyond the tragic story of a murder, this sad saga opens a window into the dynamics of a community in transformation during the confrontation with modernity in the 19th century.
