Summary

President Trump's Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned following allegations of inappropriate conduct, including drinking and a possible affair. Today is the final day before the ceasefire between the USA and Iran expires; without a new agreement, hostilities could resume. Kevin Warsh testifies today at a hearing as a candidate for the next Fed chair. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz is closely tracking the war in Iran. Investors are optimistic that the conflict may soon be resolved. President Trump’s blockade strategy is being praised as effective. Critics contend that former President Obama’s deal with Iran enabled Iran’s nuclear ambitions rather than preventing them. The USA may have avoided direct military confrontation with Iran for nearly fifty years. Senator Elizabeth Warren is expected to press Kevin Warsh on inflation, interest rates, and other economic concerns during his hearing today. There are also lingering questions about the $2 billion the Fed claims was spent on a government project.
