Did the Obama administration push the Russiagate hoax?

Jonathan Hoenig of Capitalist Pig, joins The Ray Stevens Show to discuss current market trends, economic challenges, and technological advancements. Jonathan highlights the significant fluctuations in oil prices, noting a recent peak near $98 a barrel before settling around $93. He links these shifts to broader market instability and the ongoing impact of global conflicts. Major tech stocks, referred to as the "Mag 7" (including Nvidia, Apple, and Tesla), are nearing a technical correction, defined as a 10% decline from recent peaks.

January’s core inflation rate of 3.1% significantly exceeds the Fed's 2% goal, leading to expectations that interest rates will remain on hold. Despite economic concerns, Jonathan expresses optimism about American innovation, specifically citing the FAA's selection of eight new proposals for air taxi pilot programs in cities like Dallas, Austin, and New York.

A reported 42% of recent college graduates are underemployed, working in roles that do not fully utilize their degrees. This has sparked a discussion on the rising value of trade skills and the shifting requirements of major tech companies that no longer strictly demand four-year degrees.

Travel expert Natalie Compton, joins The Ray Stevens Show to discuss the logistics and trends for Spring Break 2026. Natalie highlights that despite social media reports of long lines, travel is leveling out. However, she warns of potential delays at major hubs like Chicago O’Hare. She recommends the "TSA PreCheck Touchless ID" for faster processing, noting it's available for several major airlines at O'Hare including Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest, and United. For families seeking warmer weather, Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean remain the dominant choices for the season.

 

Plan for wait times at least 20 minutes longer than usual at major airports. Natalie suggests bringing your own snacks to avoid high airport prices, like a "$40 mozzarella stick". Ensure you have your airline’s app downloaded and opt-in for touchless ID before checking in for your flight.
