Podcasts about tests

Jon Herold and Chris Paul return for a fiery Saturday edition of Devolution Power Hour, diving straight into the political chaos of the week, starting with Trump's explosive public break with Marjorie Taylor Greene. The hosts dissect the sudden feud, the emotional overreactions online, and the wave of “purity tests” sweeping MAGA as social-media influencers attempt to excommunicate anyone who expresses disagreement or nuance. Jon and Chris tackle the questionable “Epstein files,” the suspicious timing of their release, and why both independent media and state media seem invested in pushing obviously absurd narratives. They explore the psychological operations embedded in political drama, the unhealthy emotional attachment many have to public figures, and the broader clown-world dynamics shaping public perception. From Media Matters hit pieces to NPR smear jobs, Chinese student headlines to H1B panic, Trump's conflicting messaging, MTG's media tour, and the general unreality of modern political news, this episode unpacks the absurdity with humor, clarity, and sharp analysis. A wild, insightful ride through misinformation, manipulation, and the fight to maintain sanity in a world addicted to outrage.

Three Timeless Tests (broadcast date: 11/16/2025)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Whitney: Hello! Wondering if you still think the best water set up would be the kangen k8 attached to the aquatru under the sink filter? I'm reading that the kangen relies on minerals in the water which the aquatru filters out (I know their newest filter adds some back in but not sure how much). I have the kangen k8 and both the aquatru countertop that I use now and the under the sink aquatru unopened that came free with kangen years ago. Can I install the kangen to the countertop aquatru? I rent and don't want to overcomplicate the installation if I don't have to. But I'm confused about how to start. Are there instructions to attach kangen to an aquatru of any kind? I don't want to lose the minerals that makes the kangen more effective but obvi would like to avoid the nasties in the tap water.                                  Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is 42 and has really cleaned up his act over the past 5+ years. No tobacco use, exercise bike 30 mins daily, 10k steps, and clean eating. 1.5 yrs ago he went in to see a doctor with right side pain. Xray showed backed up stool. Since then he has been on stool softeners and had a colonoscopy. In July he did a 14 day detox and felt sick most of the time. The DNS made him nauseous and he was in pain but was willing to try anything. Today, he is still having right side pain under his right rib, mostly in the front but does spread to the back now. This month he had an ultrasound, endoscopy, and a HIDA scan. Colonoscopy, Ultrasound, and Endoscopy were both completely normal. His HIDA scan showed 71% fraction and minor reflux. All bloodwork shows liver is healthy. Help.          David: Hi Dr.Cabral, Hope you are well! I noticed you recently launched Cell Force, an enhanced creatine product. In 2021, I recall listening to you say that you were not going to be taking creatine since it has been shown to promote hair loss, which convinced to leave it out my personal protocol despite the cognitive/cellular health benefits. I'm curious what has changed in terms of new studies, your perspective on its benefits, and anything else that informed your pivot to not only take it, but create one of your own. I know you had a challenging hair growth journey, so I doubt you would ingest something that would put that at risk without considerable due diligence. Beyond what the studies are saying, I'm interested in what you are seeing in clinical practice and in your own life.                                                                                       Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral - I completed the CBO protocol last year and felt amazing. The main difference was a sense of hunger control. I no longer overindulged and I consistently woke up the same weight I went to bed. This lasted for months and I felt like I had a new relationship with food. I slipped back to where I had been and gained weight, more hunger & fluctuating bedtime weight. I took the food sensitivity test and I have a pretty long list of mild sensitivities, 3 high (legumes) so my coach suggested I do the limited cbo protocol along with an elimination diet. I'm almost 1 month into the limited CBO and I feel in control again. My question is why does the cbo protocol do this for me? I like to understand the "why" of things so that I can keep the habit. Thanks!                                                                                                                                  Harriet: Hi there Hope you are well - I ordered some tests around July/August and due to a number of reasons I was able to complete the testing (Shipping took longer than expected, vacation, trip to UK for VISA renewal). I believe I have registered both test (hair mineral test and inflammation omega 3/6 test) and would to confirm I am ok to complete these tests before cutting (another!) hair sample. Thank you!

What is the purpose of a test?

Christian Disciple and Forgiveness Right mouse click to save/download this as a MP3 video file G!day! The Apostle James wrote: 'When all kinds of trials and tribulations crowd into your lives my brethren, do not resent them as intruders but welcome them as friends. Realise that they come to test your faith and produce in you the quality of endurance. But let the process go on until your endurance is fully developed and you will find you have become men of mature character, with the right sort of independence. ' James 1:2-4 It is often said by psychiatrists that 90% of people with emotional related psychiatric problems would be cured, if only they knew forgiveness. Forgiveness of course is a major part of Christianity, both in the way that God forgives us when we come to Him in penitence and repentance, but also in the way Christian disciples forgive others and themselves! Does that surprise you that people may need to forgive themselves? How does that work? The two major causes of emotional problems, involve forgiveness. Failure to receive forgiveness. Many people try to pay for their sin or to atone somehow for their sin or as AW Tozer out it: "The perpetual penance of regret." Some people even try to punish themselves for they're past sins. Failure to give forgiveness. There are always people who hurt us by what they say and do. If forgiveness is not offered, a root of bitterness resentment and anger may spring up in our lives. There are 'significant others' - parents who hurt us, siblings who fail us or tease us, and friends who betray who reject us. Now you may well be asking yourself, why does God allow these irritations and offences to take place? We need to understand that God's ultimate purpose for allowing irritations and offences to occur in our lives is to give us an opportunity to become more like Jesus Christ His Son (Romans 8;28:29). There are some irritations we can control and we are responsible to see us take sensible steps to do so. There is no point in complaining we are overweight if we are not prepared to diet. There are many sources of irritations and offences we can't control. People. Personality traits, inconsistencies, rejection etc. Environment. Inconveniences, natural elements, pressures. Ourselves. Frustrations with our deficiencies, limited abilities, failures, illnesses etc. God uses these circumstances, experiences and irritations to shape us and mould us like a gem cutter, cutting and polishing a stone to make it valuable. However, whether God requires 'sandpaper' or a 'sledgehammer' sometimes depends on our willingness to be involved in the process. God is concerned not just about what is happening to us, but also what we are learning and how we are responding in His workshop of life. How do we respond to irritations and offences? a. Wrong Responses (Human way) Defend yourself. Accuse somebody else and pass the blame. Hold anger in instead of dealing with the problem. b. Right Responses (God's way) Be honest with yourself - Am I in the wrong? Be willing to admit when you are wrong - Ask forgiveness. Be willing to forgive. Asking for forgiveness can be one of the hardest things we need to do. This is particularly so when we have been betrayed by a friend or someone who has been unfaithful. We need to stop and consider Christ and the enormity of His forgiveness. Failing to co-operate with God's purposes, has two frequent results Insensitivity: Ignore, shut off, withdraw and avoid. Oversensitivity: Resentment, bitterness, hatred, anger and revenge. Remember!! Forgiveness deals with our emotional response/s toward an offender. Pardon deals with the consequences of the offence; we may not be in a position to offer pardon. Forgiveness enables us to have the same openness toward the person after they offend us, as before. Lastly, when we forgive the offender, the hurt and the wound will start to diminish. This is helped when we realise Christ understands and can use these experiences for our eternal advantage. For more to think about please do read for yourself James 2v1-4… Give yourself the following tests, and see how you respond or react to them. Why not share your answers with your spouse or a close friend, so you can pray over any issues together. Tests to see if there is someone I need to forgive Resentment test - Is there anyone you resent? Responsibility test - Do you find yourself thinking, "If only they (parents, friends, colleagues, God) had done this, things would have been different!" and therefore blaming others? Reminder/reaction test - Do you find yourself reacting against a person because they remind you of someone else? Right mouse click or tap here to save/download this as a MP3 video file

Marketing im Kopf - ein Podcast von Luis BinderIn dieser Folge wird über verschiedene Unternehmen gesprochen, da Markennamen genannt werden, handelt es sich um UNBEZAHLTE WERBUNG!In dieser Folge: In der heutigen Podcastfolge von Marketing im Kopf geht's um das Buy-Grid-Modell, das erklärt, wie Unternehmen Kaufentscheidungen treffen. Vom ersten Problem bis zur Lieferantenbewertung. Wir sprechen über die drei Kaufarten, die acht Phasen des Beschaffungsprozesses und darüber, warum es fürs Marketing entscheidend ist zu wissen, wer im Unternehmen wirklich mitredet. Vom Techniker bis zum Management.____________________________________________Marketing-News der Woche:Wohin sich Media-Budgets 2026 verschiebenDas neue OWM-Trendbarometer zeigt, dass viele Unternehmen für 2026 mit stabilen oder sinkenden Media-Budgets rechnen, zugleich aber stärker in Wirkungsmessung, Daten und KI investieren wollen. Kampagnen müssen sauber getrackt, klare KPIs festgelegt und Tests entlang der Customer Journey eingeplant werden, statt nur das Budget hochzudrehen.Konsumlaune im Minus: Weihnachtsmarketing wird selektiver⁠Das HDE-Konsumbarometer meldet für November eine sinkende Stimmung, und auch das GfK-Konsumklima bleibt deutlich im Minus. Für Händler und Marken bedeutet das: Weihnachts- und Sale-Kampagnen funktionieren nur, wenn sie klaren Mehrwert kommunizieren, zielgenau ausgesteuert werden und nicht ausschließlich auf Rabatte setzen. Digitale Werbung und Social-Media-Marketing sollten stärker auf Nutzen, Orientierung und Vertrauen einzahlen.⁠Purpose-Marketing: Haltung als Prüfstein für Marken⁠Purpose ist keine schöne Überschrift für Imagefilme, sondern ein Maßstab für tägliche Entscheidungen. Wer in Social Media und Kampagnen große Worte macht, aber im Produkt oder beim Service anders handelt, riskiert Vertrauensverlust. Der Purpose muss sich konkret in Angeboten, Customer Experience und Performance-Kampagnen zeigen. Sonst bleibt er ein Buzzword.Fakeshops buchen Anzeigen bei Google & MetaLaut einer aktuellen Analyse des Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverbands schaltet rund jeder zweite Fakeshop Werbung bei Google oder auf Meta-Plattformen.

It's Witness Wednesday! A sharp history student, Cole, wrestles with the resurrection, truth, and his own conscience—then a Hebrew Roots believer named Carlos questions Easter, church tradition, and the name “Jesus.” Segment 1 • A thoughtful agnostic history major explores the reliability of Scripture and the resurrection. • Todd walks him through manuscript evidence and eyewitness testimony. • Can Christianity stand the test of history? Segment 2 • The conversation turns from intellect to conscience—lying, lust, blasphemy, and guilt before God. • Justice and mercy collide at the cross as Todd explains how forgiveness is possible. • Will Cole see his need for grace? Segment 3 • The tension rises: evidence vs. surrender. • Todd reminds Cole that the Christian faith is intellectual, but it's not JUST intellectual. • Todd urges Cole to respond before it's too late. Segment 4 • A self-described believer rejects “Easter,” insists on “Yeshua,” and blends Hebrew roots with Christian faith. • Todd probes what's behind the name debate and where saving faith truly rests. • Can focusing on details make us miss the gospel itself? ___ Thanks for listening!

In this episode of The Fertility Podcast, we've gone back to the archive to share a chat I had a little while back with Kevin McEleny, Consultant Urologist at Newcastle Fertility Centre and Nuffield Health. Kevin is a specialist in male fertility and urology and has worked for years to raise awareness around the crucial but often overlooked role of male health in fertility care.We talk about how much of male fertility is still ignored, under-tested and underfunded, and what that means for couples trying to conceive. As someone who has experienced male factor infertility personally, this episode means a lot to me, and I know it will to many of you too.Whether you're going through IVF, facing a male factor diagnosis, or simply wanting to understand the full picture, I hope this episode helps you feel more informed and empowered.What we discuss in this episode:Why it's still so common for men to be left out of fertility investigationsWhat kinds of tests should be done for men and why basic semen analysis isn't enoughWhy timing, hormones and lifestyle can drastically impact sperm qualityWhat conditions might be missed if men aren't tested properlyThe emotional toll male fertility issues can take, and why support is essentialWhat male patients should expect when seeing a urologist or fertility specialistWhy early and equal testing matters for both partnersKevin also explained Kleinfelter Syndrome and how it can go undetected without the right support and investigation This episode is a call for more inclusive care, not just for women, but for men too. Because fertility is a shared journey, and everyone deserves to be heard.Special thanks to Examen, sponsor of this episodeExamen offers direct, cutting-edge sperm DNA fragmentation testing (including both single and double-strand DNA damage), used by 85% of fertility clinics across the UK and Ireland.Tests are:Non-invasiveAvailable via clinics or partner hubsDesigned to provide clarity, confidence and actionable insightYou don't need a referral to get tested.

This week we talk about OxyContin, opium, and the British East India Company.We also discuss isotonitazene, fentanyl, and Perdue.Recommended Book: The Thinking Machine by Stephen WittTranscriptOpioids have been used as painkillers by humans since at least the Neolithic period; there's evidence that people living in the Iberian and Italian Peninsulas kept opium poppy seeds with them, and there's even more evidence that the Ancient Greeks were big fans of opium, using it to treat pain and as a sleep aid.Opium was the only available opioid for most of human history, and it was almost always considered to be a net-positive, despite its downsides. It was incorporated into a mixture called laudanum, which was a blend of opium and alcohol, in the 17th century, and that helped it spread globally as Europeans spread globally, though it was also in use locally, elsewhere, especially in regions where the opium poppy grew naturally.In India, for instance, opium was grown and often used for its painkilling properties, but when the British East India Company took over, they decided to double-down on the substance as a product they could monopolize and grow into a globe-spanning enterprise.They went to great lengths to expand production and prevent the rise of potential competitors, in India and elsewhere, and they created new markets for opium in China by forcing the product onto Chinese markets, initially via smuggling, and then eventually, after fighting a series of wars focused on whether or not the British should be allowed to sell opium on the Chinese market, the British defeated the Chinese. And among other severely unbalanced new treaties, including the ceding of the Kowloon peninsula to the British as part of Hong Kong, which they controlled as a trading port, and the legalization of Christians coming into the country, proselytizing, and owning property, the Chinese were forced to accept the opium trade. This led to generations of addicts, even more so than before, when opium was available only illicitly, and it became a major bone of contention between the two countries, and informed China's relationship with the world in general, especially other Europeans and the US, moving forward.A little bit later, in the early 1800s, a German pharmacist was able to isolate a substance called morphine from opium. He published a paper on this process in 1817, and in addition to this being the first alkaloid, the first organic compound of this kind to be isolated from a medicinal plant, which was a milestone in the development of modern drug discovery, it also marked the arrival of a new seeming wonder drug, that could ease pain, but also help control cold-related symptoms like coughing and gut issues, like diarrhea. Like many such substances back in the day, it was also often used to treat women who were demonstrating ‘nervous character,' which was code for ‘behaving in ways men didn't like or understand.'Initially, it was thought that, unlike with opium, morphine wasn't addictive. And this thinking was premised on the novel application method often used for morphine, the hypermedia needle, which arrived a half-century after that early 1800s isolation of morphine from opium, but which became a major driver of the new drug's success and utility. Such drugs, derived scientifically rather than just processing a plant, could be administered at specific, controllable doses. So surely, it was thought, this would alleviate those pesky addictive symptoms that many people experienced when using opioids in a more natural, less science-y way.That, of course, turned out not to be the case. But it didn't stop the progression of this drug type, and the further development of more derivations of it, including powerful synthetic opioids, which first hit the scene in the mid-20th century.What I'd like to talk about today is the recent wave of opioid addictions, especially but not exclusively in the US, and the newest concern in this space, which is massively more powerful than anything that's come before.—As I mentioned, there have been surges in opioid use, latent and externally forced, throughout modern human history.The Chinese saw an intense wave of opioid addiction after the British forced opium onto their markets, to the point that there was a commonly held belief that the British were trying to overthrow and enslave the Chinese by weighing them down with so many addicts who were incapable of doing much of anything; which, while not backed by the documentation we have from the era—it seems like they were just chasing profits—is not impossible, given what the Brits were up to around the world at that point in history.That said, there was a huge influx in opioid use in the late-1980s, when a US-based company called Purdue Pharma began producing and pushing a time-released opioid medication, which really hit the big-time in 1995, when they released a version of the drug called OxyContin.OxyContin flooded the market, in part because it promised to help prevent addiction and accidental overdose, and in part because Purdue was just really, really good at marketing it; among other questionable and outright illegal things it did as part of that marketing push, it gave kickbacks to doctors who prescribed it, and some doctors did so, a lot, even when patients didn't need it, or were clearly becoming addicted.By the early 2000s, Purdue, and the Sackler family that owned the company, was spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to push this drug, and they were making billions a year in sales.Eventually the nature of Purdue's efforts came to light, there were a bunch of trials and other legal hearings, some investigative journalists exposed Purdue's foreknowledge of their drug's flaws, and there was a big government investigation and some major lawsuits that caused the collapse of the company in 2019—though they rebranded in 2021, becoming Knoa Pharma.All of which is interesting because much like the forced legalization of opium on Chinese markets led to their opioid crisis a long time ago, the arrival of this incredibly, artificially popular drug on the US market led to the US's opioid crisis.The current bogeyman in the world of opioids—and I say current because this is a fast-moving space, with new, increasingly powerful or in some cases just a lot cheaper drugs arriving on the scene all the time—is fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid that's about 30-50 times more potent than heroin, and about 100 times as potent as morphine. It has been traditionally used in the treatment of cancer patients and as a sedative, and because of how powerful it is, a very small amount serves to achieve the desired, painkilling effect.But just like other opioids, its administration can lead to addiction, people who use it can become dependent and need more and more of it to get the same effects, and people who have too much of it can experience adverse effects, including, eventually, death.This drug has been in use since the 1960s, but illicit use of fentanyl began back in the mid-1970s, initially as its own thing, but eventually to be mixed in with other drugs, like heroin, especially low-quality versions of those drugs, because a very small amount of fentanyl can have an incredibly large and potent effect, making those other drugs seem higher quality than they are.That utility is also this drug's major issue, though: it's so potent that a small amount of it can kill, and even people with high opioid tolerances can see those tolerances pushed up and up and up until they eventually take a too-large, killing dose.There have been numerous efforts to control the flow of fentanyl into the US, and beginning in the mid-20-teens, there were high-profile seizures of the illicitly produced stuff around the country. As of mid-2025, China seems to be the primary source of most illicit fentanyl around the world, the drug precursor produced in China, shipped to Mexico where it's finalized and made ready for market, and then smuggled into the US.There have been efforts to shut down this supply chain, including recent tariffs put on Chinese goods, ostensibly, in part at least, to get China to handle those precursor suppliers.Even if that effort eventually bears fruit, though, India seems to have recently become an alternative source of those precursors for Mexican drug cartels, and for several years they've been creating new markets for their output in other countries, like Nigeria, Indonesia, and the Netherlands, as well.Amidst all that, a new synthetic drug, which is 40-times as potent as fentanyl, is starting to arrive in the US, Europe, and Australia, and has already been blamed for thousands of deaths—and it's thought that that number might be a significant undercount, because of how difficult it can be to attribute cause with these sorts of drugs.Nitazenes were originally synthesized back in the 1950s in Austria, and they were never sold as painkillers because they were known, from the get-go, to be too addictive, and to have a bad tradeoff ratio: a little bit of benefit, but a high likelihood of respiratory depression, which is a common cause of death for opioid addicts, or those who accidentally overdose on an opioid.One nitazene, called isotonitazene, first showed up on US drug enforcement agency radars back in 2019, when a shipment was intercepted in the Midwest. Other agencies noted the same across the US and Europe in subsequent years, and this class of drugs has now become widespread in these areas, and in Australia.It's thought that nitazenes might be seeing a surge in popularity with illicit drugmakers because their potency can be amped up so far, way, way higher than even fentanyl, and because their effects are similar in many ways to heroin.They can also use them they way they use fentanyl, a tiny bit blended into lower-quality versions of other drugs, like cocaine, which can save money while also getting their customers, who may not know what they're buying, hooked, faster. For context, a fifth of a grain of nitazene salt can be enough to kill a person, so it doesn't take much, less than that, if they want to keep their customers alive, to achieve the high they're looking for. A little bit goes a long, long way.This class of drugs is also difficult to detect, which might be part of the appeal for drug makers, right now. Tests that detect morphine, heroin, and fentanyl do not detect natazines, and the precursors for this type of drug, and the drugs themselves, are less likely to be closely watched, or even legally controlled at the levels of more popular opioids, which is also likely appealing to groups looking to get around existing clampdown efforts.Right now, drug agencies are in the process of updating their enforcement and detection infrastructure, and word is slowly getting out about nitazenes and the risk they potentially pose. But it took years for sluggish government agencies to start working on the issue of fentanyl, which still hasn't been handled, so it's anyone's guess as to when and if the influx of nitazenes will be addressed on scale.Show Noteshttps://www.wired.com/story/a-new-type-of-opioid-is-killing-people-in-the-us-europe-and-australia/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02161116https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(24)00024-0/fulltexthttps://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/nov/03/nitazenes-synthetic-opioid-drug-500-times-stronger-than-heroin-fatalhttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03280-5https://theconversation.com/10-times-stronger-than-fentanyl-nitazenes-are-the-latest-deadly-development-in-the-synthetic-opioid-crisis-265882https://www.cato.org/blog/fentanyl-nitazenes-why-drug-war-keeps-making-danger-worsehttps://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/fentanyl-and-us-opioid-epidemichttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purdue_Pharmahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycodonehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fentanylhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitazeneshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioidhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_opioid_epidemichttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic This is a public episode.

Bible Bus Tour: Three Tests Every Believer Has To Take (Genesis 13:1-18) Dr. Jeff LaBorg

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.Every one of us has been hurt by someone — and if we're honest, we've hurt others too. We say things we wish we could take back. We show up when we shouldn't, or disappear when we're needed most. We break trust. We wound. And even after forgiveness is spoken, something deep inside still hesitates. Because forgiveness and trust aren't the same.Joseph knew that pain. He was beaten by his brothers, sold, forgotten, and left for dead. Then, decades later, he stood face to face with the very people who betrayed him. Imagine the tension in that moment. The ache. The question pounding in his heart: Can I trust them again?This story isn't just about Joseph. It's about us. Because every follower of Jesus eventually faces that same crossroads — when forgiving isn't the end, but the beginning of something harder: the slow work of rebuilding trust.And when it happens, when restoration finally breaks through… It's not just reconciliation between people. It's redemption in motion — a glimpse of the God who restores what we thought was gone forever.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on November 9, 2025, at 9:30am.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case challenging the current administration's tariff policy. Our Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Research explains the potential magnitude of the case's outcome for markets.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy.Today, we discuss the challenge against tariffs at the Supreme Court and how it might affect markets.It's Thursday, Nov 6th at 11am in New York.This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments about the legality of most of the tariffs implemented by the Trump administration. Investors are paying close attention because if the Supreme rules against the administration, it could undo much of the four-five times tariff increase that's taken place in the U.S. this year. That would seem to set up this hearing, and a subsequent ruling which could come as early as this month, as a clear market catalyst. But, like many policy issues affecting the economic and markets outlook, the reality is more complicated. Here's what you need to know.First, there's ample debate among experts about how the court will rule. That may seem surprising given the court's makeup. Three of the nine judges were appointed by President Trump, and six of the nine by Republican Presidents. But it's not clear they'll agree that the President used his executive power in a way consistent with the law that granted the executive branch this particular power. That law is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. And, without getting into too much detail, the law appears to have been designed to deal with economic crises and foreign adversaries, which the court might argue is not evident when considering tariffs levied against traditional allies.But, the next important point is that a ruling against the Trump administration might not actually change much around U.S. tariff levels. How is that possible? It's because the administration has other executive tariff powers it can deploy if needed, and ones that are arguably more durable. For example, Section 301 gives a President wide latitude to designate a trading partner as undertaking unfair trade practices. So this authority could be swapped in for IEEPA. That could take time, as Section 301 requires a study to be submitted, but there are other temporary authorities that could bridge the gap. So the U.S. can likely ensure continuity of current tariff levels if it wants – keeping tariffs more of a constant than a variable in our outlook.Of course, we have to consider ways we could be wrong. For example, the administration could use a ruling against it to re-focus instead on product specific tariffs through Section 232. That likely would result in U.S. effective tariff rates drifting a bit lower, alleviating some of the pressure our economists see on the consumer and corporate importers, adding more support to risk assets. But that scenario might come with some volatility along the way if the administration feels the need to float larger product specific tariff levels before settling on more palatable levels – similar to what happened in April.So bottom line, there's more tariff policy noise to navigate this year. It could bring some market volatility, and maybe even a bit of upside, but the most likely outcome is that we circle back to the approximate levels we are today. Setting up for 2026, that means other debates – like how companies respond to tariffs and capital spending incentives – are probably more important to the outlook than the level of tariffs themselves. We're digging in on all that and will keep you in the loop.Thanks for listening. If you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please leave us a review and tell your friends about the podcast.
