  • Wigglesworth - Trump & Bond Mkt

    The one statement that jumped out at me is when Wigglesworth said, “simple solution is that Fed raises interest rates.” Yet there is so much fear of Trump … this is maddening!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Hundreds of Focus Groups With Trump Voters Revealed
Q: What do you hear from Trump voters about immigration?
Longwell says many voters support a closed border and deporting dangerous criminals, but object to masked enforcement, arbitrary arrests, and deportations of longtime residents or people following legal processes.
What Hundreds of Focus Groups With Trump Voters Revealed
Q: So what happened?
Longwell says Trump made unilateral tariff decisions and began the Iran war, choices voters attribute directly to him. They have raised prices and contradicted his promises to lower costs and avoid new wars.
Nate Silver Predicts a ‘Momentous’ Midterm
Q: How resilient are Democratic hopes to polling error, and how are you thinking about where the polling error might be?
Silver advises considering the possibility that polls are off by several points in the same direction across races. He says recent midterm polls were relatively accurate, while noting that turnout assumptions and unusual election waves can still produce substantial errors.
Nate Silver Predicts a ‘Momentous’ Midterm
Q: If the election goes roughly as the polls say it will go, why would it mark the end of the Trump era?
Silver says a poor midterm result would make Trump a super lame duck as the 2028 campaign begins, weakening his political influence even though he would remain president for two more years.
Elon Musk’s Endgame
Q: How do you go from $40 billion to a trillion dollars in six years?
Slobodian attributes Musk's wealth growth to exceptionally high company valuations based on expectations of enormous future revenues, including from electric vehicles, robotics, satellite internet and space launches.
