Episode notes
Trump Comment Coincided With Oil Price Retreat
- President Trump said the U.S.-Israel hostilities could be over very soon, which coincided with crude oil prices retreating from nearly $120 to below $90 per barrel.
- The price drop followed G7 talks of releasing reserves and Trump's comment calling the conflict a short-term "excursion," showing market sensitivity to political signaling.
ISIS-Inspired Bomb Plot Near Mayor's Residence
- Two men traveled from Pennsylvania and allegedly threw jar-like explosives packed with bolts, screws, and TATP outside Gracie Mansion during protests near Mayor Mamdani's residence.
- Neither device detonated, but one suspect cited ISIS and the other compared his intended impact to the Boston Marathon bombing, escalating charges to federal terrorism counts.

- NFL free agency began with major roster moves, notably the Miami Dolphins cutting Tua Tagovailoa and taking a $99 million cap hit while Atlanta later picked him up.
- Use Matthew 6's warning about serving money as a lens to evaluate whether big sports contracts align with deeper priorities.
