Hilary Golston speaks with Dr. Brian Marks, an economist and attorney, who says even the threat of conflict is already driving volatility, and a sustained disruption could quickly translate into a sharp increase in gas prices for consumers.

THE INTERVIEW| Iran Decapitation Strike Sparks De Facto War Former Marine Intelligence Officer Says
In a wide ranging interview with Hilary Golston, former Marine intelligence officer Hal Kempfer says the U.S. and Israeli decapitation strike that killed Iran’s top leadership has pushed the United States into a de facto state of war, one he expects to last weeks, not days. Kempfer argues the administration is currently compliant with the War Powers Act but says the conflict has already expanded into a regional fight, with Iranian retaliation targeting multiple U.S. aligned nations. With Iran’s regime in disarray, a transitional council in place and uncertainty over who truly holds power, he says the outcome may depend on whether sustained military pressure weakens the IRGC enough to open the door to internal change, a possibility he calls real but far from guaranteed.

After Supreme Court tariff ruling, price relief unlikely as uncertainty deepens
A Supreme Court ruling curbing presidential tariff authority is unlikely to bring meaningful price relief for consumers, according to economist Dr. Rebecca Homkes, who says most tariff costs were never fully passed along to households in the first place.

THE INTERVIEW| Court Ruling Curbs Power, But Price Relief Unlikely
A Supreme Court decision narrowing presidential tariff authority has not brought the price relief many hoped for. Economist Dr. Rebecca Homkes, faculty at Duke Corporate Executive Education and lecturer at London Business School, tells Hilary Golston tariffs have added only modestly to inflation but most of the costs have already been absorbed across supply chains, not reversed. While the ruling reins in one executive tool, the administration is turning to other statutes to maintain tariffs, keeping legal uncertainty and market volatility high. Homkes warns the Federal Reserve is likely to hold rates steady as inflation remains elevated and the labor market weakens, describing an economy that may not meet the technical definition of recession but increasingly feels like one for American consumers.

Economist : partial government shutdown likely to have only nominal economic impact
In an interview with Hilary Golston, University of New Haven economist and attorney Dr. Brian Marks says the current partial government shutdown is expected to have only a nominal impact on the broader U.S. economy if it remains short-lived. Marks explains that while some federal workers and contractors may face temporary disruptions, most essential government functions continue and the overall economic engine remains intact. He notes markets and businesses have largely priced in short shutdowns, and unless the impasse drags on for an extended period, the national economic effect is likely to be limited and largely symbolic rather than structurally damaging.

THE INTERVIEW| Will US Supreme Court Straddle the Line on Birthright Citizenship?
For more than 150 years, one sentence in the Constitution has quietly settled who belongs here at birth. Tonight, that sentence is under fresh philosophical and legal assault. Birthright citizenship, long treated as settled law under the Fourteenth Amendment, is now being reexamined by the U.S. Supreme Court in a case that could redraw the boundary between nationality and inheritance. At stake is not just immigration policy, but the meaning of citizenship itself… whether it is automatic, earned, or revocable by political design.University of Michigan legal scholar Richard Friedman joined Hilary Golston to unpack the gravity of what’s before the Court.
