Tehran on the Brink of Economic Collapse plus 14 Things About Graham Platner

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/5dc0ed6e-c08d-4947-b643-b4550065e5d2/transcript

In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show podcast, Ben examines new findings on tariffs, inflation, and productivity growth, and discuss what they believe the results say about media and economic forecasts that predicted severe inflationary consequences. They also take a deep dive into America’s growing national debt, reviewing Congressional Budget Office projections, federal spending trends, interest costs, and reports from the Government Accountability Office on fraud, improper payments, and government waste. The conversation explores the scale of federal borrowing, the burden of rising debt, and the policy choices that have contributed to the nation’s current fiscal position. 

New research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is challenging one of the most common criticisms of President Donald Trump’s tariff policy. While critics predicted tariffs would trigger significant inflation, the study found that productivity gains in many tariff-affected industries offset much of the added cost pressure. At the same time, a separate economic warning is emerging. The United States has officially surpassed $40 trillion in national debt, raising questions about federal spending, deficits, interest payments, and long-term fiscal sustainability. 

Topics Covered:
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston research on tariffs and inflation
Productivity growth in industries most affected by tariffs
Core PCE inflation and the impact of higher production costs
The U.S. national debt surpassing $40 trillion
Rising federal interest payments and budget deficits
Government Accountability Office findings on fraud, improper payments, and waste

Economists Missed Again—Tariff Doom Predictions Fall Apart

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4c8efa56-4d73-4865-a127-b49e005ccdb6/transcript

In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show podcast we discuss the latest housing construction data, the impact of immigration trends on housing demand, new reports alleging Russia is supplying military materials to Iran through the Caspian Sea, and newly released messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci's government phone regarding discussions about COVID-19 vaccination concerns during pregnancy. The conversation focuses on how these developments could affect domestic policy, national security, and ongoing congressional investigations. 

A new housing report shows single-family housing starts dropped to their lowest level in nearly four years. While many headlines frame that decline as bad news, Ben Ferguson argues it reflects a major shift in housing demand driven by dramatic reductions in illegal border crossings under President Donald Trump. The episode examines the relationship between housing supply, population growth, rising home prices, and rental costs. Ferguson contends that years of elevated migration increased competition for homes, apartments, and rentals, contributing to affordability challenges for American families. He argues that changing migration trends are now beginning to alter the housing market. 

Topics Covered:
Single-family housing starts fall to the lowest level in nearly four years
Immigration trends and their potential impact on housing demand and affordability
Census and housing market data involving home construction and permits
Reports alleging Russia is supplying drone components, ammunition, and explosives to Iran
The strategic role of the Caspian Sea in Russia-Iran logistics and military cooperation
Newly released Fauci phone messages and congressional scrutiny of COVID-19 vaccine discussions
