Federal Reserve Policy and the “Height Chart” Theory The Federal Reserve met last week and, as widely expected, made no changes to interest rates. The decision generated little market reaction, largely because economic conditions have not deteriorated enough to warrant rate cuts. Long-term rates have remained relatively stable, short-term rates have already adjusted downward, and overall economic growth continues at a pace similar to last year. With two meetings remaining before May, markets are not expecting significant action from the Fed in the near term. The more notable development came at the end of the week with the announcement that President Trump intends to nominate Kevin Warsh as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve. Warsh is a well-known and respected economist who previously served on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, becoming one of the youngest members in history at age 36. His public record suggests a more hawkish stance on monetary policy, with a strong emphasis on controlling inflation rather than pursuing easy money policies. Markets reacted quickly to the news. Interest rates moved higher, and precious metals experienced sharp declines, reflecting expectations that Warsh would favor tighter monetary discipline. While some investors were surprised by the direction of rates, history suggests the trajectory may be less mysterious than it seems. A tongue-in-cheek but intriguing chart highlights a correlation between the height of Federal Reserve Chairs and prevailing interest rate environments. From Paul Volcker's era of high rates to the gradual declines under Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, the zero-rate policies during Janet Yellen's tenure, and the renewed tightening under Jerome Powell, the pattern has been remarkably consistent. Kevin Warsh appears to align closely with Powell in this framework, suggesting rates may remain near current levels. While clearly correlation, not causation, the chart offers a memorable way to think about where policy may be headed. The AI Bubble Question: Reality vs. Headlines Recent market volatility, including a sharp one-day decline of more than 10% in a major technology stock, has reignited concerns about a potential artificial intelligence bubble. Comparisons to the dot-com crash of the early 2000s have resurfaced, but the data tells a very different story. During the dot-com era, stock prices surged far ahead of underlying earnings. Valuations became detached from fundamentals, creating the conditions for a dramatic market correction. In contrast, today's AI-driven market environment shows a much closer alignment between stock prices and forward earnings growth. Since 2020, equity valuations have largely been supported by real and measurable earnings expansion. While no investment theme is without risk, current market behavior does not reflect the kind of irrational exuberance that defined the late 1990s. One company's short-term stock movement should not overshadow the broader fundamentals driving the sector. For long-term investors, the focus remains on earnings growth, balance sheets, and sustainable business models, not headlines or single-day market moves. Economic Strength, Productivity, and Inflation The broader economy continues to show signs of resilience, particularly in the area of productivity. U.S. productivity growth has been gaining momentum, with the most recent quarter approaching 5%, following another strong quarter near 4%. This improvement is especially notable as productivity gains have been elusive for much of the past decade. Artificial intelligence appears to be playing a meaningful role in this trend, supporting efficiency and output across industries. The interaction between productivity and inflation will be critical to watch going forward. While oil prices have begun to rise, a potential inflationary risk, other forces are helping keep inflation anchored. Labor costs, in particular, have remained relatively contained. Wage growth has been fairly flat, which can make the economy feel weaker for consumers still adjusting to residual inflation from 2021 and 2022. However, this same restraint has helped prevent inflation from reaccelerating. A simple way to view the current environment is through the balance of money and output. Inflation tends to rise when more money chases the same amount of goods. Today, money supply growth has slowed, and if productivity continues to improve, allowing the economy to produce more goods and services, price pressures may remain manageable. This dynamic will be central to the economic outlook in the months and years ahead.

In the movie 1973 film Walking Tall, Sheriff Buford Pusser is a heroic law enforcement officer in small-town Tennessee whose fight against the Dixie Mafia leads to an ambush and shooting that left his beloved wife Pauline dead. The movie and its sequels and remakes made Pusser, who died in a 1974 car crash, into a folk hero. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson played him in the 2004 Walking Tall remake. The Pusser legend became a cottage industry for Adamsville, Tennessee, where the Buford Pusser Home and Museum is based. Mike Elam, a former law enforcement officer, started researching Pusser's life as a hobby back in the 1970s. Once the internet became an avenue for exploration, "I started a social media page and I was very much a fan of Buford Pusser at that time," Pusser tells Modern Law Library host Lee Rawles. "And it was one of those things where I got to researching it and learned far too much for my own liking, because I did not like the man I saw as opposed to the one that was in the movie." Elam's decades of research and interviews with people who had encountered Pusser led to a book, Buford Pusser: The Other Story. It also led to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations reopening the case into Pauline Pusser's murder and exhuming her body. In 2025, they announced that the investigation revealed details that pointed to one suspect: Buford Pusser himself. In this episode, Elam discusses his long investigation, tips for other true crime citizen detectives, what he thinks now about the way Buford Pusser has been memorialized–and how he found the gun that killed Pauline.  Subscribe to Modern Law Library: https://play.megaphone.fm/93wtgxnatpsubsdxwklzwq Learn more about your ad choices.

On August 12th, 1967, Buford and Pauline Pusser were ambushed while driving, and Pauline was fatally shot. Buford was shot in the jaw. Buford Pusser was the Sheriff of McNairy County in Tennessee and built a name for himself as tough on crime. He made many enemies, and it was thought that one of these enemies had shot him and killed his wife. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murder of Pauline Pusser. Buford became a hero figure and vowed to find his wife's killer. The movie, Walking Tall, made Buford a larger-than-life character after it was released in 1973. But many years later, authorities uncovered evidence that pointed straight at Buford Pusser for the murder of his wife, Pauline.   You can help support the show through Patreon.

The late Sheriff Buford Pusser, long celebrated as a fearless lawman and the inspiration for the film Walking Tall, is now believed to have murdered his wife nearly sixty years ago. In Illinois, a jury has convicted former Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson of second-degree murder in the death of Sonya Massey, a Springfield woman who called 911 to report a possible prowler. In Nebraska, a man has pleaded guilty to the murder of a parish priest in a small town north of Omaha. In northeast Ohio, a Cleveland woman has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the fatal stabbing of a three-year-old boy outside a grocery store.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For decades, Sheriff Buford Pusser was celebrated as a hero who survived a brutal ambush that killed his wife, Pauline. Now, a cold-case review of the 1967 crime has revealed stunning new forensic evidence. The hosts discuss how blood spatter analysis and medical examiner findings suggest that Pauline was shot outside the car, and that Pusser's own wound may have been self-inflicted. The new evidence forces a community to grapple with a shocking question: Did the legendary sheriff murder his own wife? --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

"Was the legendary sheriff Buford Pusser a hero—or a killer hiding behind Hollywood myth?"In this jaw-dropping episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray unravel a decades-old cold case that inspired not one, but two Hollywood films—and may have been built on a lie.True Crime Turner takes center stage as KT dives into the 1967 murder of Pauline Pusser, wife of Tennessee sheriff Buford Pusser. Once hailed as a vigilante icon and immortalized in the cult classic Walking Tall, new forensic evidence suggests Buford may have staged the entire ambush and murdered his wife in cold blood. The twist? Blood spatter outside the car and a suspicious close-range wound on Buford's cheek contradict his heroic tale.The crew explores how this revelation shakes the foundation of a story that spawned a 1973 film starring Joe Don Baker and a 2004 remake with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Ben hilariously speculates, “This is going to get The Rock canceled!” while Skin wonders if the truth was buried until Joe Don Baker's passing earlier this year.

The crew kicks off with birthday banter, fantasy football chaos, and the wild fallout from a draft-night stream. From there, things spiral into an offbeat but fascinating ride: a deep dive into the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's shocking claim that legendary sheriff Buford Pusser may have killed his own wife, despite being immortalized in the Walking Tall movies as a folk hero. The discussion unpacks government waste, media narratives, and whether reopening decades-old cold cases is justice or just theater. But it doesn't stop there. The hosts veer into the eerie with Italy's famous “blinking mummy,” preserved for over a century, sparking debates about embalming, vampires, and occult symbolism in pop culture. Toss in a detour through Habsburg inbreeding, odd birth defects like “lobster claw” feet, and plenty of sharp humor, and you've got a Friday night hangout that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining. This episode embodies OnlyLands at its finest, irreverent, curious, and unafraid to poke fun at the absurd while unpacking history, mystery, and everything in between.

A movie where a guy punches people in the face, a movie where you want to punch a guy in the face and a movie that makes us want to punch Will in the face. Thank God for Dolly Parton - it's time to head to Tennessee! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe … we’re discovering some physical problems have spiritual roots. Last time, Mark started a two-part message called, Walking Tall Again … and he touched upon the first two points of this message … people fail to experience spiritual power because they're stuck … and some people have been stuck so long they've accepted it as a normal way of living. Listen now as he expands on the next three points … how the power of God creates breakthroughs.

In 1975 a movie was made that didn't do the sort of business it was expected to do. The star was Joe Don Baker and he was riding high on the back of 'Walking Tall'.Forty years later its made a bit of a comeback...oh, not the movie....the stunt we look at today. A train crash with a difference.Lets take a look and then explore the rest on Friday.Support the showIf you've enjoyed this episode then why not follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook using the following linkhttps://linktr.ee/behindthestunts

You might not think that we ever get stuck for movies to pick for the show. What with Hollywood alone having been making films for over a century. Giving us a library of media you probably couldn't watch in your lifetime without sacrificing your personal life and a significant portion of sleep. But that does happen and then we hear about an actor's passing and it reminds us of their work. We have Walking Tall(1973). The late and sort of great Joe Don Baker stars in this somewhat autobiographical film based on the real life Buford Pusser. In the film, Buford comes back to his hometown after a wrestling career … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 243: Walking Time"

In the aftermath of DIRTY HARRY, there were plenty of films looking to get in on the semi-legal vigilante craze. One of the most successful of these was Phil Karlson's WALKING TALL, starring the great, recently departed Joe Don Baker as real-life Tennessee lawman Buford Pusser, who was all too willing to tell the world how he beat the corruption out of McNairy County with a fencepost. Except that he was kind of full of hot air, and the whole thing is - at least for Ian - one of the most nakedly fascist films we've ever watched for the show!

The film writers Brian Abrams and Will Sloan return to the podcast for a salute to one of our favourite screen presences, the great American character actor Joe Don Baker, who passed away this month at the age of 89. We discuss the full arc of Joe Don's career, thrust into leading man status in the early seventies playing Tennessee Sheriff Buford Pusser who waged war against the Dixie Mob in 1973's populist smash hit Walking Tall, and the less financially successful followup with the same director (Phil Karlson), the brutal, sweaty noir thriller Framed, to the role that (like it or not) defined him for so many in the culture as a scuzzy cop in 1975's Mitchell (immortalized on one of the funniest episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000) to his comeback in the eighties in the masterful BBC miniseries Edge of Darkness (where he received the most acclaim he ever got as an actor), his several appearances in the Bond series (where he played both a good guy and a bad guy), and his notable supporting role in Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear. Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.
