PETER NAVARRO: Powell’s shadow Fed majority could threaten jobs, housing and growth
Kevin Warsh has now been sworn in as the new Federal Reserve Chair. Outgoing Chair Jerome Powell has refused to leave the Fed Board of Governors, breaking with the modern custom that departing Fed chairs leave the Board rather than linger as rival power centers.
The clear danger: Powell will have enough Board support to act as Fed Shadow Chair and force a series of rate hikes down Warsh’s throat.
Never mind that even a single rate hike would be the worst possible response to an oil-price shock. Never mind that two of Jay Powell’s predecessors understood the difference between demand inflation and an oil shock.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Alan Greenspan understood that an oil shock can both raise headline inflation and damage growth. His FOMC repeatedly cut the federal-funds rate as the economy weakened.
TRUMP'S FED CHAIR PICK KEVIN WARSH IGNITES FIGHT OVER INDEPENDENCE ON CAPITOL HILL
When oil, foodstuffs, fertilizers, and industrial metals all moved sharply higher in 2008 — driven by booming emerging-market demand, constrained supply, thin spare capacity, and speculative flows — Ben Bernanke’s Fed likewise cut the federal-funds rate in April. He then held steady in June and refused to launch a recessionary rate-hike campaign into prices the Fed could not drill, refine, mine, plant, or ship away.
That is the looming central error. The Fed cannot produce one extra barrel of oil. It cannot reopen a shipping lane. It cannot refine gasoline. It cannot lower diesel costs by crushing mortgage demand in Ohio or forcing a small manufacturer in Pennsylvania to roll over credit at punitive rates.
A Fed rate hike now would rein in demand in response to a supply shock and hit precisely where the economy is already vulnerable. Housing would weaken further. Interest-sensitive manufacturing would suffer. Small-business credit would tighten. Financial conditions would tighten just as energy prices are eating real incomes. The dollar could strengthen, pressuring exporters.
Memo to the Fed: An oil shock already acts like a tax increase. It takes money out of household budgets, raises transportation costs, compresses margins and slows real activity. If the Fed layers another rate hike on top of that, it does not solve the oil problem. It simply adds a credit shock to an energy shock.
Why do that when bond market vigilantes are already doing the contractionary policy work. A 30-year Treasury yield north of 5% and a ten-year north of 4.5% is not loose money. Mortgage rates, corporate borrowing costs and duration-sensitive assets are already feeling the heat. In that weather, the central bank does not need to prove its toughness or independence by firing another round into the hull of the ship.
Nor are the April inflation reports an argument for panic. Core PPI came in a bit hot at 4.4% but core CPI was 2.8%. Neither number justifies treating an energy-led commodity shock as a demand-side emergency.
The right question is whether the oil spike will spill into elements of the core and create second-round wage-price dynamics. We have a long way to go before we will know, and the Fed should not be in the business of playing worst case scenario games.
Instead, the Fed’s job is as it always should be, to keep inflation expectations anchored while preserving maximum employment. As long bond yields rise, risk shifts increasingly to the recession side — as Greenspan and Bernanke long ago understood.
That’s where the specter of Powell as Shadow Chair rears its ugly head: Three Biden-appointed governors — Philip Jefferson, Michael Barr, and Lisa Cook — remain in place. Powell and this Biden trio can now already form a four-vote majority on the seven-member Board. Bad enough.
If Trump appointee Christopher Waller proves to be the pivotal defector, as he is signaling, this would turn Powell’s Shadow Chair majority into a rout. Warsh would have the title. Powell would control the reaction function.
And the regional Fed presidents in Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Dallas — Beth Hammack, Neel Kashkari, and Lorie Logan — are already forming the chorus line for a possible hawkish pivot.
It is by this Shadow Chair math that Kevin Warsh — and the American economy — may get boxed in. If Powell, his Biden-era allies, and the regional hawks force a rate-hike campaign into an oil shock, they will not be defending the Fed’s credibility or proving its independence. They will be adding a credit shock to an energy shock — and proving only recklessness. The bill will come due not in the Eccles Building, but in factories, homes, small businesses, and export markets across America.
28 Boy Scouts rescued from fast-moving floodwaters during river trip in West Virginia
A Boy Scout river trip turned into a rescue mission Saturday after fast-moving floodwaters trapped 28 scouts in West Virginia.
The scouts were traveling along the Cacapon River in Hampshire County on Saturday afternoon when fast-moving water intensified unexpectedly, forcing the troop to head toward the bank.
But the boys — from Fairfax, Virginia — soon found themselves trapped on the wrong side of the river.
Micah Campbell, who was with the scouts, told Fox News Digital the troop had planned a routine river trip before conditions quickly worsened following the storm.

"We were doing a river trip and the current and the strength of the river turned out to be a little stronger than we thought," Campbell said.
Campbell said the scouts initially moved toward land for safety before realizing they were stranded.
"When some of the boys went into the river, we decided to call it off and go on shore," he said. "And now we were on the wrong side of the river, so we needed some help getting across."

Jeffrey West, whose father owns a cabin near where the scouts became stranded, said rescue crews were called to the scene.
Watercraft eventually arrived and transported the boys safely across the river.
Altogether, the scouts were stranded for roughly 45 minutes.
"It’s been a day," West said with a laugh, adding that he had originally planned a "quiet weekend at the cabin."
West said the boys later gathered at the cabin, where they were given pizza and hot cocoa while waiting for transportation home.
He added that arrangements were being made to shuttle the scouts out of the area.
WATCH: Republicans shrug off fears that Trump targeting GOP incumbents could backfire on agenda
GOP lawmakers brushed aside concerns over President Donald Trump targeting GOP incumbents after Rep. Thomas Massie’s, R-Ky., loss, as several Republicans stressed the need for unity to advance the Republican agenda.
Massie lost to congressional candidate Ed Gallrein in Kentucky’s Republican primary last week after months of escalating attacks from Trump, who publicly criticized the Kentucky Republican over repeated breaks with the president and opposition to parts of the GOP agenda.
"Primaries happen," Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital. "We move through that, but it's back to the business of the American people, so you know, my hope is that everybody just gets focused on that."
Massie had long been one of the most outspoken Republican critics of parts of Trump’s agenda in Congress, drawing repeated attacks from the president over spending fights and other legislative disputes. Trump intensified his criticism of Massie in the months leading up to the primary, backing efforts to oust him from Congress.
The stakes are particularly high for Republicans as the party works to maintain its slim House majority over Democrats while navigating internal divisions over Trump’s agenda and political influence.
Despite speculation that Trump’s strategy of targeting GOP incumbents could be harmful to the party, many lawmakers stood by Trump’s decision to make his personal endorsements as he sees fit.
"I think Trump is going to be Trump, and not everybody's going to agree with what he does," Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, said. "The fact is that he's been incredibly effective."
"He gets to endorse who he wants to endorse," Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said.
SNUBBED BY TRUMP, GOP CANDIDATES FIGHTING FOR RE-ELECTION ACT LIKE THEY HAVE HIS BACKING ANYWAY
Still, some Republicans acknowledged Trump’s aggressive involvement in primaries could create complications inside the conference, particularly for members no longer worried about reelection.
"It's not lost on a lot of people, I think, that the reason that the president doesn't like those members could be… they can get the last laugh if you will as they are untethered now to reelection."
Others emphasized that with Republicans operating under narrow margins in the House, lawmakers have little room for prolonged battles within the party as leadership works to move Trump-backed legislation through Congress.
"We have a tight bracket that we have to, every week, fulfill," Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, said. "And as we move through primaries, as we move towards the election, we need the team. We need members to show up."
DEMOCRAT TAKEOVER FEARS RISE AS GOP CLINGS TO SLIM HOUSE MAJORITY
Republicans also stressed the importance of gearing up both voters and members of Congress to be aligned ahead of the midterms as the party works to defend its narrow House majority in November.
"Ultimately, that's up to the voters in those states and districts as to who wins these primaries and it's up every member to make sure they win," Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., said.
"As far as the rest of the Congress, look, we have a lot of work to do on behalf of the American people. And unless you suddenly change your view on these issues, one would think you would still represent your district and state appropriately."
WATCH: Platner doesn't apologize to Purple Heart recipient, voters when confronted on post mocking soldier
FIRST ON FOX: SULLIVAN, ME – Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner declined to apologize both to voters and a Purple Heart recipient when asked by Fox News Digital about a deleted Reddit post where he said the wounded soldier "didn’t deserve to live."
Platner did not respond at first when asked outside a market near his home whether he regrets making the post, which Fox News Digital reported earlier this week showed him mocking a video of Pfc. Ted Daniels taken during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012 that ended in Daniels being shot four times and being awarded a Purple Heart.
"I did four tours in the infantry, any attempt to say that I disrespect veterans is slanderous and offensive," Platner said when asked follow-up questions about what he would say to any Maine voters who were offended by his post and if he should apologize to Daniels.
"Do you think you owe him an apology?" Fox News Digital asked again.
UNEARTHED POSTS SHOW DEM SENATE HOPEFUL PRAISING VULGAR GRAFFITI, MAKING CRUDE PORTA POTTY ADMISSION
"Do you know how many of my friends have Purple Hearts, do you know how many of my friends got wounded?" Platner responded, before adding, "yeah, a lot of them, thank you."
Platner, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, sparked significant outrage online this week over the resurfaced Reddit post critics have said shows a lack of respect for his fellow soldiers.
"This video never gets old," Platner posted in June 2019 using the Reddit account "P-Hustle," which he has acknowledged owning, in reference to a viral video from the helmet Daniels was wearing while taking enemy fire.

"Dumb motherf----- didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a-- wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home. He managed to make every possible s--- decision possible when it comes to small unit combat."
Rob O’Neill, the U.S. Navy SEAL who is credited with killing Usama bin Laden, was one of many veterans to speak out in response to the post.
"Mr. Platner was way out of line talking about a soldier that way," O’Neill told Fox News Digital about the controversy on Thursday.
PLATNER’S BRUTAL ATTACKS ON ARMY SOLDIERS AS ‘FAT, LAZY’ REVEALED IN RESURFACED POSTS
"This is completely barbaric," O’Neill added. "I don't understand. If you swear an oath to the country, it doesn't even matter what the politics are. Every single time you fight it's for the man next to you, it’s for the person next to you. Politics goes out the window. And to wish ill on someone like that under fire is just, you know, like I said, it is the opposite of everything I've ever been raised to believe."
Platner has previously leaned into his struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to explain the numerous incendiary social media posts that have surfaced since he announced his Senate run.
"For those of you who have read these things and been offended, have read these things and seen someone that you don’t recognize, I am deeply sorry," Platner said in October before the post about Daniels, and other posts disparaging the military, were public.
"I’m sorry for this. Just know that it’s not reflective at all of who I am. I don’t want you to judge me on the dumbest thing I ever wrote on the internet. I would prefer if people could judge me on the person I am today."
Daniels himself reacted to the post, telling Fox Business, "People like this don't say stuff like this to my face."
"It's online, and that right there tells me, Graham, you're a coward."
Platner became the Democrats' presumptive nominee after his rival for the nomination, two-term Gov. Janet Mills, ended her campaign last month after trailing Platner in polling and fundraising.
The Democratic Senate Primary in Maine will be held on June 9, where Platner will appear on the ballot alongside Democrat David Costello to earn the right to face off against incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
AOC tells New Yorkers to ‘pull up’ to Alabama during rally speech behind bulletproof glass
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is taking heat from southern conservatives after she delivered a fiery speech in Montgomery, Alabama, last week, demanding that northern progressives "pull up to the South."
Speaking at the "All Roads Lead to The South" rally on May 16, the prominent "Squad" member claimed the U.S. was not a true democracy until the 1960s when the Voting Rights Act was passed, and took direct aim at the Supreme Court, accusing the high court under Chief Justice John Roberts of being "part of that long history of regression and repression in America."
Ocasio-Cortez then issued a highly controversial call to action, demanding that "the North" travel to red states like Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi to fight what she described as political injustice.
She doubled down on social media following the event, writing, "If you're not from these states, it's time to pull up."
Her rhetoric was quickly slammed by conservatives on social media, with many pointing out the irony of the congresswoman urging people to "pull up" while she stood heavily protected during her speech behind bulletproof glass.
Conservative podcaster Todd Spears went viral with a TikTok reaction video that racked up 1 million views, mocking Ocasio-Cortez's security setup.
"[Pull up] and do what? Help us get the boat off the trailer, like cut the grass, track a deer in the woods?" Spears said. "Roll up and do what exactly? Because you're standing behind, like, pope glass in your own hometown. You come down here starting that s---, you better bring a tank. That's not a good idea. You stay where you're at."
AOC SPENT OVER $53K IN CAMPAIGN FUNDS ON LUXURY HOTELS IN 2025: 'CARPETBAGGER'
Spears also criticized the divisive nature of her remarks, writing in the video caption that "AOC talking about the North 'rolling up' on the South and Alabama, like this is still the 1860s, is wild."
"Maybe politicians should spend less time trying to divide Americans and more time fixing the mess we already have," he added.
Another TikTok creator, Kei Bennett, whose video garnered more than 800,000 views, warned Ocasio-Cortez's supporters not to take the bait.
"I want to issue a stern warning so you do not take her advice and pull up on Alabama," Bennett said, jokingly citing local dangers ranging from wild hogs and bayou gators to locals who "will not hesitate to unite and get you the f--- up out of here."
Bennett, who has more than half a million followers on the platform, warned the congresswoman's followers that "down here in the South we don't call cops, we call coroners," adding, "Stay your a-- up there, leave us alone. We ain't bothering nobody."
Ocasio-Cortez's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Knicks take commanding 3-0 lead over Cavaliers in Eastern Conference Finals
The New York Knicks took a commanding 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday as the franchise eyes its first NBA Finals berth since 1999.
Jalen Brunson scored 30 points to lead New York to a 121-108 win over Cleveland, while Mikal Bridges added 22 as the Knicks never trailed in Game 3.

New York is the seventh team in NBA history to win at least 10 straight during a postseason run. The last team to do it was the Boston Celtics, who also went on a 10-game run on their way to the 2024 title.
All but one of the Knicks’ wins have been by double digits, with an average margin of victory of 22.5 points.
Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell finished with 23 points in 38 minutes, while teammate James Harden added 21. Cleveland shot 12 of 41 from 3-point range and 12 of 19 from the foul line.
Cleveland rallied and tied it at 50-all on a jumper by Harden before the Knicks countered with a 10-1 run. They went into halftime with a 60-54 advantage.
Music superstar Taylor Swift was courtside for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday night alongside fiancé and Ohio native Travis Kelce.
Swift and Kelce, who recently signed a three-year, $54 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, took their seats in Rocket Arena shortly before the opening tip.
With the Cavs trailing 91-82 at the end of the third quarter, Kelce and Swift were shown on the arena’s giant scoreboard. Fans cheered wildly as Kelce showed off his team cap and wine-and-gold shirt.
Game 4 is set for Monday night at Rocket Arena in Cleveland. The series will return to Madison Square Garden for Game 5 on Wednesday, if necessary.
Meanwhile, in the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs will host the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4 on Sunday night. Oklahoma City enters the matchup with a 2-1 series lead.

NASCAR's Truck Series and O'Reilly Autoparts Series honor Kyle Busch with moments of silence at Charlotte
The NASCAR world is paying tribute to Kyle Busch this weekend, and that includes some classy ones from two series in which the late driver had a lot of success.
While Busch — who passed away Thursday after "severe pneumonia [that] progressed into sepsis" — had been a full-time driver in NASCAR’s top series, the Cup Series, for more than 20 years, he still competed occasionally in both the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the Craftsman Truck Series.
He was especially known for his dominance in the Truck Series, winning 69 of his 184 races, and at one point owned a team. In fact, the final win of Busch’s career came just under a week before his death in a Truck Series race at Dover.

On Friday, the Truck Series was in Charlotte as part of the Coca-Cola 600 weekend for a race that Busch was supposed to take part in.
NASCAR, RACING WORLD REACTS TO KYLE BUSCH'S SHOCKING DEATH AT 41: 'CANNOT COMPREHEND THIS NEWS'
Corey Day was in the No. 7 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports, the truck in which Busch took his final win, and it was set to start on pole after Friday's qualifying was rained out.
Before the race was set to begin on Friday evening, teams and fans held a moment of silence for Busch.
Unfortunately, the race never got underway and was postponed until Saturday morning and then again to Saturday night.
The O'Reilly Autoparts Series, which Busch raced in many times and won many times during his career, also took a moment to remember him before their race at Charlotte on Saturday.
That race was also suspended due to rain.
There will be some heavy hearts on Sunday when the Coca-Cola 600, the NASCAR Cup Series' longest race of the year, gets started at 6 p.m. ET.
Iranian national team to train in Mexico during World Cup after base camp switch, federation leader says
As next month’s highly anticipated World Cup approaches, participating nations are finalizing base camps across the tournament’s three host countries to serve as training headquarters during the competition.
The U.S., Canada and Mexico are co-hosting this year’s World Cup.
However, Iran’s national team — which has faced heightened scrutiny leading up to this summer’s World Cup — recently learned it will not be based in the United States once the tournament begins. According to the president of Iran’s soccer federation, the team will instead establish its base camp in Mexico.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Mehdi Taj, president of the Iran Football Federation, announced the decision Saturday in a statement released by the federation’s media relations office. FIFA did not immediately confirm the move.
Iran had been scheduled to train in Tucson, Arizona, but a move has been a possibility because of uncertainty surrounding the war in the Middle East and security concerns. Officials at Tucson’s Kino Sports Complex declined to comment.
WORLD CUP TEAMS FINALIZE US BASE CAMPS AS HOST CITIES PREPARE FOR GLOBAL CROWDS
According to Iran's soccer federation, the team's base will now switch to south of the California border to Tijuana, Mexico.
"All team base camps for the countries participating in the World Cup must be approved FIFA," Taj said in his statement. "Fortunately, following the requests we submitted and the meetings we held with FIFA and World Cup officials in Istanbul, as well as the webinar meeting we had yesterday in the Tehran with the respected FIFA secretary general, our request to change the team’s base from the United States to Mexico was approved."
Iran plays Group G games at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, against New Zealand on June 15 and Belgium six days later, then faces Egypt on June 26 in Seattle. The federation said Tijuana’s relatively close proximity to the Los Angeles area will benefit the team and the new location "includes all training facilities, gym, private restaurant and everything else the team needs."
Iran’s men’s national team, also commonly referred to as Team Melli, is set to appear in its fourth consecutive World Cup. The team has never advanced beyond the group stage.
Iran’s federation said moving the base camp will resolve potential visa issues since the team will enter the U.S. through Mexico. The president said that the team "may even be able to travel to and from Mexico using Iran Air flights."
The World Cup opens June 11 and concludes July 19 with the Final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Jack Osbourne fires back at body shamers calling him 'grossly underweight'
Jack Osbourne is done dealing with body shamers.
The 40-year-old media personality took to Instagram to respond to articles body-shaming him for being "grossly underweight" and calling him "sick," saying "I cannot believe I’m having to actually make this f---ing video."
"I have lost no weight since I got out of the jungle doing 'I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!' six months ago," he explained. "I’ve been the same f---ng weight. The only difference is I shaved my beard and opted for a creepy mustache. That’s the only f---ing difference."
He went on to share that he's been on a weight loss journey for a number of years, and has been "consistently losing weight for the last three and a half years."
At his heaviest, Jack shared that he weighed around 220 pounds and when he saw that number on the scale, "decided that I wanted to make some changes, so I did."
"What’s the big f--king deal?" Jack added. "I’m five-foot eight-and-a-half and 155 pounds. It is perfectly healthy."
He later added that he has been "brutalized by the press about being overweight" his entire life and cannot believe that even though he got "down to a healthy weight," he has been "criticized even more," telling the journalists and other body shamers that they can "get f--ked."
Jack is not the only Osbourne who has dealt with people commenting on their body, as his sister, Kelly Osbourne, received backlash after her appearance at the BRIT Awards. After attending the award show, social media users began commenting on her body, with one writing, "Ditch the Ozempic, eat a burger."

"Looks like a dead body… she's tooooo thin and fragile.… Looks like she's going to see her dad soon."
Kelly posted screenshots of the negative comments, writing "Literally can't believe how disgusting some human beings truly are," over the screenshot.
"This is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something, kicking me while I'm down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most," she wrote on her Instagram Stories.

She added that commenting on another person's body doesn't show strength, but rather "a profound absence of compassion and character."
"I'm currently going through the hardest time of my life," she added. "I should not even have to defend myself. But I won't sit here and allow myself to be dehumanized in such a way!"
Donald Trump Jr and Bettina Anderson celebrate private wedding in Bahamas, share sweet personal photo

About 40 guests attended the wedding, including Trump Jr.’s five children and his siblings Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump, along with their spouses.

"Don and Bettina are wonderful together. I’m so proud to have witnessed so much of their journey as a couple," Eric Trump told Page Six.
"They truly light up around each other, and it’s been amazing watching their story unfold. Couldn’t be happier for them on their special day."
"Bettina and Don Jr. got married on a glorious day in a place where they often visit," a source told People magazine.
The couple reportedly considered holding the wedding at the White House, but ultimately opted for a more low-key celebration amid ongoing tensions due to the war in Iran.

A larger celebration with extended family and friends is expected later this year, with the White House still a possible venue, according to reports.
President Donald Trump said Friday that he would not attend the ceremony, citing official responsibilities in Washington.
"While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon-to-be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so," the president wrote on Truth Social.

"I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time."
The president’s statement came one day after the couple legally married in Palm Beach, Florida.
The wedding follows Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson’s engagement in December 2025 after roughly a year of dating.
Anderson, 39, is a philanthropist and model who has become a familiar presence at Trump family events in Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago over the past year.

Earlier this year, she celebrated her bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago alongside several members of the Trump family ahead of the wedding festivities.
The Palm Beach estate has hosted multiple high-profile Trump family weddings over the years, including the weddings of President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, as well as Eric Trump and Lara Trump.
Donald Trump Jr., 48, is the eldest son of President Trump and serves as executive vice president of the Trump Organization.
He was previously married to Vanessa Trump from 2005 to 2018, and the former couple share five children together: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe.
Vanessa Trump recently revealed that she's been diagnosed with breast cancer and is recovering after undergoing a procedure. She said she is staying focused on her health while surrounded by her children and family.
Anderson has not previously been married and does not have children.
She was previously linked to businessman Beau Wrigley and was reportedly engaged before that relationship ended.
