Summary

GOOD EVENING: The show begins in the Federal Reserve boardroom with Jerome Powell's dilemma -- to raise interest rates three times in 2024 or to maintain the highest rate in 23 years? Then to Radio City Music Hall for the Three Presidents event to raise money and enthusiasm for President Biden's reelection campaign. Next, to Damascus, Tehran, and Qom for the succession struggle. To Gaza, Jerusalem, and Washington D.C. To London for Easter in the City, then to Addis Ababa, Damascus, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, and Washington D.C. To Moscow, Pyongyang, and Beijing. Finally, to Beirut, waiting on Hezbollah to launch or stand down. Thank you.

1874 John O'Connor, "The Embankment."
