Summary

GOOD EVENING: The show begins at the Federal Reserve, searching for the fate of the three promised interest rate cuts in 2024 -- none of which are currently in sight. We then delve into memories of Perry Mason while reading about the Trump trial. Next, we move to Tehran, Isfahan, and Gaza, discussing the imminent Rafah Operation. We then visit Midland, Michigan, and the pristine and busy Northwood University, known for its programs in marketing and management. Shifting focus to Berlin, we discover the potent new nationalist party, Alternative für Deutschland. We then explore Turkey's offer of sanctuary to Hamas and the situation in Ethiopia, where the country is collapsing around the isolated Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Moving on to Nigeria, we find the nation failing once again. We then cover Queen Camilla's visit to the Royal Lancers. Finally, we travel to Pakistan and Iran before concluding at the English Channel, where small, overfilled rafts carrying refugees drift toward England in the swells.
