Roiling also beneath the surface of the Left is an incendiary concoction of mental illness, confused gender ideology, and a propensity toward violence, most recently exposed in a series of attacks on ICE agents in Texas. Plus: Center for Renewing America CEO and Lincoln alumni Eric Teetsel drops in to discuss the passing of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, noting its successes and reactions to it from within and without the Right’s coalition—and joins the media recommendation wrap-up!…

For investors, geopolitical risks are always lurking as a factor that could upend trades for obvious reasons. When war breaks out, it's crucial to have some kind of understanding of what it will mean for various markets (such as oil or grain) and how long the conflict can persist. But is there any way to analyze these things scientifically? Many people are paid by investors to try to do exactly this. On this episode, we speak with Andrew Bishop, the global head of policy research at Signum Global, about what he does, and how he attempts to forecast the future. We use the recent conflict between Israel and Iran (as well as other sources of global tension) to get a better understanding of how he goes about forecasting, how investors use his research, and what he sees going forward.
