Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood at the podium of the United Nations General Assembly hall and absolutely tore into all of the multiplying progenitors of antisemitism around the world. It was a remarkable speech. He regards himself as the leader of world Jewry, and no one can deny him that platform. He has basically governed Israel for nearly 30 years through thick and thin, through the wars and the massacres.  With Michael Faulkender, Robert Greenway, Sen Mike Lee, Steve Forbes, Liz Peek, Ben Domenech, Ben Ferguson, and Brent Sadler.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Price controls are always a bad idea. They create shortages, profit losses, and eventually much higher prices when the controls are finally lifted. So this administration idea of a diesel export ban, is a problem if it really goes through. KeithDouglas Holtz-Eakin, Marc Sumerlin and Walter Russell Mead Learn more about your ad choices.

All the headlines from Mr. Trump’s UN speech are focused on his prior statements warning Iran that they either make a deal or face annihilation. I believe annihilation refers to the regime. And he warned them not to focus on the midterm elections because he’s gonna be President for another two and a half years. So, in effect, Mr. Trump discounted the midterm elections, and took them off the table. A bad day for Iran.

With 43 days until the midterm election, the mainstream media may be hedging its bets about Democratic victory and Republican destruction. One of the first cracks in the armor is an NBC poll that shows Dems edging out Republicans 50% to 45% among registered voters. Looks like a nice lead but is it really? The story notes that it’s a lot slimmer edge than the 12 point lead Dems had in the 2018 cycle.  With Newt Gingrich, General Jack Keane, Michael Pillsbury and John Rutlidge Learn more about your ad choices.

The NY Times is at it again with a long hit piece on the American economy and the dollar. Virtually every claim they make is factually wrong. I've got a couple numbers for you. Maybe the most important error in the NY Times piece was their failure to cite that 89% of foreign exchange trades are dollar based. Now if that isn't King Dollar, I don't know what it. And the principal stable coins are dollar denominated. And foreign investors have bought around $263 billion of treasuries over the past year, and these yields have gone up mostly because a strong economy is raising real interest rates.

First thing’s first, the Fed raised its target rate by a quarter of a point in Kevin Warsh’s quest to reduce the inflation rate he inherited from Joe Biden and Jay Powell, from over 3%, to at least 2%, and perhaps moving it toward zero. And then in the next 24 hours, financial markets applauded.

Let’s begin at the beginning. Low taxes, light regulation, abundant energy, and a strong dollar, are the keys to economic prosperity. And prosperity is as American as apple pie. And though nothing is ever perfect, at the moment I would argue, the American economy is in a very prosperous position, roughly a year after Mr. Trump and the Republicans passed their one, big, beautiful bill.   With David Malpass, Liz Peek, John Carney, Dan Brouillette, Ben Ferguson, Ben Domenech, and Sen. Ron Johnson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hat tip to Attorney General Todd Blanche for wondering out loud why all of a sudden, the media and the Democratic Party, and Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders, are suddenly hyperventilating over the hyper scalers on the eve of an important midterm election, where Democrats have insanely nominated a bunch of hyper socialists who are gonna get whooped on November 3. By the way, the hyperventilating media is also trying to force the Federal Reserve to raise the interest rate.

I’m surely not your run-of-the-mill expert on the frontiers of artificial intelligence. I have some sense of models, agents, and bots. And I think I understand concerns that rogue AI agents can break free of their human instructions, or what the industry sometimes calls quote “misalignment.” Yes, humans need to be able to keep control of the machines. But I also know something about election year ruses, including political hoaxes, such as we’ve seen in the past.

25 years later, after the horrific sneak attack on the twin towers, and then the Pentagon, and then the great bravery and the awful plane crash that landed in Shanksville Pennsylvania, instead of congress, 25 years later I want to say America is winning. Have we completely won the war against terror? No. But there have been no major attacks in the 25-year period.  With Charlie Gasparino, Joe Concha, Mark Simone, Marc Thiessen, John Carney, Taylor Riggs, and Sen.

"America belongs to those who love it". It’s a beautiful line from President Trump’s speech. And he added, “on election night we’re going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it.” Of course, he was talking about the far left, antisemitic, big government socialists, who have become the tail that wags the Democratic party dog.

President Trump will speak to the nation tonight from the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, Texas.To quote my friend Kellyanne Conway, the GOP has the money, the message, but they don’t have the right sales pitch. That’s Mr. Trump’s assignment tonight, and there’s no one who can make a sale the way he can.

There are reports that the administration is cooking up a plan to allow married couples with a stay-at-home spouse to collect childcare subsidies, using funds from an HHS program, also intended to assist working parents. The HHS fund was created a while back to help low income and working-class parents afford childcare, so they could go to work. Kind of sounds like taking from Peter in order to give to Paul. I don't think it's a really good idea. With Sen. Ted Cruz, Stephen Miran, General Keith Kellogg, and Gianno Caldwell Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Right on cue, the media got ready to print a bad jobs report for August, and then SLAM,  the number comes out 162,000. About 3 times the Wall Streetconsensus. Of course, most of Wall Street and their liberal pals in the media just love to ignore eight straight manufacturing ISM increases, and fifteen straight monthly ISM services increases. And tremendous gains in industrial production and consumer spending. With Taylor Riggs, John Carney, Robert O'Brien, Marc Thiessen, Byron York and David Bahnsen Learn more about your ad choices.

Pardon me from again borrowing from my G20 interview with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. But I really want to repeat my view that the most powerful news story, however unreported, is the emergence of an economic boom that it is now cutting across every sector of the landscape.
