dr sean snaith, director of the institute for economic forecasting at the university of central floridairst of all, what a surprise of the cpi taking out volatile food energy prices. does this take 50 basis point cut to interest rates off the table, when the fed meets later this month? instead, it'll more like 25 basis points cut? was the fed behind the curve? well, i think 50 points is off the table, personally, and i may be in the minority in which 25 is off the table. i think it's a bit too soon to raise the mission accomplished banner here. the progress towards the 2% inflation target over the course of 2024 is really slow to a crawl, and the case that the us economy is perilously on the us economy is perilously on the edge of recession, i think, is the evidence is pretty scarce to make that argument. gdp grew at 3% last quarter, and you really have to cherry pick through data to try and find some areas of weakness, but i think a slowing economy as part of the price you pay when inflation gets as high as it did. oil is rebounding today but there's been weakness. is this a disinflati

dr sean snaith is director of the institute for economic forecasting at the university of central floridaome. hellfire will —— hellfire will be fed go today? i think they will proceed with caution because while we are approaching the 2% inflation target, the progressed to was that i could have slowed dramatically in 202a. i think being aggressive with interest rate cuts runs the risk of reigniting inflation, particularly in a presidential election year, particularly with fiscal policy and budget prices in washington, dc. quite frankly it is broken. i think the need to proceed with caution and get a few months more data, make sure we are going to hit that target but i think it is going to be minutes with a 25 when we do. where are you out in the debate about how healthy or otherwise the us economy is? over the last few months we have seen the market go through huge volatility up and down like a yo—yo. fine go through huge volatility up and down like a yo-yo. one day market watchers _ and down like a yo-yo. one day market watchers saying - and down like a yo-yo. one day market watchers sayin

ferrer calling baker elders 0 the greg o trees and associated provosts for space at the university of central florida and ofa of red moon rising. he joins us now from florida. thank you for your time. what was accomplished today in your opinion? well, um, i was super excited to uh, to see this. um, it is something that governments are done in the past, but the russian and american governments have done space lots. but the americans, for instance, haven't have new spaces in like 40 years. if this is a big accomplishment, seeing the commercial sector, put 4 people in a vacuum on 2 of them who left to for your call at the same time for a cost that was orders of magnitude less than what mastic could have done this for . and they demonstrated that they were able to do it not on a government contract, but under private funding from jarrett guys and from of course, space ex themselves. so i think it's a uh, a threshold uh, a tip that has been crossed for the commercial sector to do things. the government hasn't been able to keep up with now. and they also went to a higher altitude of the us government has s

. >> i'm from the university of central florida. first of all, thank you for spending the afternoon with a group of law professors. i will ask two quick questions. how much do law professors help your work when you go before the supreme court? on a related note, what is your most memorable moment on the court? >> thank you. >> it was a question about what effect does academics have on our work. [laughter] >> it has such an effect. [laughter] so much affect -- effect on our work. [laughter] like everything else, i guess it depends. there are certainly times when i have found academic work to be highly illuminating, to help me think about how to present an issue. i'm sorry to say, i almost never say, because professor x said this, you should do this. i don't think that would be an especially effective way to do it. [laughter] so, most memorable moment -- it actually involves paul and an exchange we had at the very end of the first case where after three days of argument, i was trying to say something, he was trying to say something, i

. >> hello, my name is -- the university of central florida, and i just wanted to ask you. first of all, thank you for spending the afternoon with a group of law professors and i ask you, two quick questions. how much you law professors, you know, what we do, help your work when you go before the supreme court and if i may ask on an unrelated note, what is your most memorable moment on the court? >> thank you. >> it was a question about what effect does the work of academics have on our world. it has such an effect. so much affect. you know, so like with everything else, i guess it depends and there are certainly times when, you know, i found academic work to be highly eliminating and -- illuminating and figure out how to present an issue. i'm sorry to say, i will almost never say because professor x said this, you should do this. i don't think that would be especially an effective way to do it but then, so most memorable moment, it actually, as -- actually, it involves paul on the exchange that we had at the very end of the first affordable care act case where after three d

of u.s. central command and current executive director of the global and national security institute at the university of south florida when you were in charge of central command, this was the region. for those who are not familiar, that fell under your bailiwick, so you are an expert. we have seen the worst day of violence since october 7. what is the israeli strategy? is this the beginning of an all-out war? >> i think the israelis have expended a lot of resources to go after lebanese hezbollah. they had a technologically advanced attack on their communications network and the strikes going on now. i think the israeli plan is to push hezbollah so far north they can no longer fire short range rockets into israel, or get them to stop. i don't think there is any linkage between events in gaza and lebanese hezbollah actions. hezbollah is dated -- dedicated to the destruction of israel and will be there after gaza ends, however gaza ends. i think israel will continue these strikes and i would not rule out ground action should they believe it to be necessary. they have gone as far north as beirut before and have the abili
