Join us as we break down the latest infighting among House Republicans over the reconciliation bill tied to the Senate's budget proposal. We analyze the internal clashes, House Speaker Mike Johnson's talk with reporters afterwards, what’s at stake politically, and why Republicans may need to settle their disputes behind closed doors before heading to a vote. Next, we turn to the world stage, where President Trump has announced a pause on several tariffs targeting the European Union—and in response, the EU is suspending its retaliatory tariffs as well. We explore what this means for the stock market as Tariffs on China remain. Finally, on This Day in History, we look back at the rise—and dramatic fall—of Maximilian of Austria, who was proclaimed Emperor of Mexico in 1864. A European monarch in the Americas? It didn’t end well. 🎙 For more episodes and exclusive content, visit regulatorproductions.com

Join us as we break down the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady while signaling two rate cuts by the end of the year.

Next, we turn to Capitol Hill, where the GOP chairs of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees have fired a warning shot at Donald Trump and the Pentagon over proposals to consolidate combatant commands and reduce U.S. leadership in NATO. For the first time, key Republicans are openly challenging Trump on defense policy. We discuss what this means for America’s global military presence and whether it’s time for the U.S. to step back from being the world’s police—not just in Europe but also in Japan and beyond.

Next, we analyze the Trump administration’s decision to freeze federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania over its transgender athlete policies—drawing parallels to his previous funding freeze on Columbia University in response to anti-Semitic campus protests.
