The Federal Reserve has just cut interest rates by half a point, marking its first such move in four years. In this episode of Facts, Ben dives into the immense power wielded by central banks, especially the Federal Reserve, in shaping the global economy. Explore how the abandonment of the gold standard has shifted economic control to unelected officials, granting them the authority to dictate interest rates and influence inflation. Ben breaks down the political pressures behind these critical decisions, highlighting how fiscal irresponsibility has left everyday Americans vulnerable to the whims of central bankers.

Recently, a narrative was introduced to the public conversation that Adolf Hitler wasn’t really interested in continuing WWII, that he offered peace to Britain and France, and that Winston Churchill, driven by some mysterious personal vendetta, refused and kept the war going for his own perverse purposes. This is a gross misreading of history, and conveniently omits key facts about Hitler’s true intentions; anyone suggesting otherwise is engaging in dangerous revisionism. On this episode of the Sunday Special, Niall Ferguson leads us through these untruths. Ferguson is a Scottish historian who is best known for his in-depth analysis of economic history, empire, and global conflicts like WWI and WWII. He doesn’t just recite history—he tells you why it happened, what could have been different, and how the war reshaped our global order. ---  Today's Sponsor:  Tax Network USA - Seize control of your financial future!

On today’s episode of the Sunday Special, I sit down with the man, the myth, the fearless leader of the Sweet Baby Gang, The Daily Wire’s very own Matt Walsh. Walsh’s knack for revealing lies with satire has been captured once again in "Am I Racist?”, where the toxicity of racial equity is on full display. In the film, Matt infiltrates a “White Privilege Grief Workshop,” disguises himself as a DEI consultant to the queen of the anti-racists, Robin DiAngelo, and all while threads the needle for us as viewers on the profound anti-Americanism that undergirds it all. All of us at The Daily Wire cannot wait for the rest of the nation to see the film, and grapple with the reality of the DEI industry. Don’t miss this inside look at "Am I Racist?", out in theaters September 13th. Welcome back to another episode of the Sunday Special.  - - -   Today’s Sponsors:  International Fellowship of Christians and Jews - To give to IFCJ, visit https://benforthefellowship.org/

Peterson and Shapiro consider how geography and religion play a critical role in the conflict in the Middle East, the collective agreement in a transcendent authority, and how the ancient wisdom embodied in Jerusalem may be the missing link in forging a path for peace.
