    Kevin Warsh's fakeout

    Today on the show: the Federal Reserve heads into one of its most unpredictable meetings in years, Polymarket traders face massive rate-decision exposure, Marine Le Pen is suddenly back in the French presidential mix, and Roman Terekh from Bravado joins to break down five prediction market shockers.  Alex Keeney and Pratik Chougule dig into the Fed’s July rate decision market, where nearly $90 million in volume has turned next week’s meeting into what Alex calls “the greatest liquidation event since Bob’s Furniture’s Fourth of July sale.” With cooler inflation, renewed Middle East conflict, energy-price jitters, and a new Fed chair in Kevin Warsh, traders are asking whether “no rate change” is a buying opportunity — or whether the market is finally pricing in a real hawkish turn.  Then: WTF France? Marine Le Pen’s odds have surged after a court lifted her ban from running for president, even as an electronic monitoring tag could complicate her campaign. Is this a buy, sell, or hold moment for traders looking at the 2027 French election? Plus, Oracle of the Week and a special segment with Roman from Bravado on prediction market behavior: misleading PnLs, how long trading accounts survive, concentration of wealth, whale signal vs. retail signal, and how long it takes to become a prediction market black belt.

    3 World Cup trades + AI backlash in Ohio

    Alex Keeney is joined by Doug Campbell for a World Cup and politics-heavy episode of Eventual. First, Alex and Doug break down the World Cup through a prediction-market lens, focusing on home-field advantage, hostile road environments, altitude, and how those factors can shape knockout-stage expectations. Doug explains why home teams and home-continent teams may be undervalued, why older underdog-betting theories may not be working in recent knockout rounds, and where he sees value across World Cup markets. Then they turn to the latest New York Times/Siena battleground Senate polls. The numbers look rougher for Democrats in several key races, but Doug argues one poll should not radically change the broader picture. Alex and Doug discuss whether Democrats are still a buy, why polling error matters months before Election Day, and how a small miss could swing multiple Senate seats in either direction. Plus: Nate Silver’s World Cup model gets a shoutout, Barnard Bulletin earns Oracle of the Week, and Alex tees up the coming conversation with Andrew Tobias on Ohio politics, AI data centers, and the Sherrod Brown/John Husted race.   The authors may hold positions in prediction markets related to topics discussed in this article.

    The next battle for the Democratic Party

    Colorado usually is not the center of national political attention anymore, but primary day has put the state back in the spotlight. Seth Masket joins Eventual to unpack two high-attention Democratic contests: Diana DeGette's primary challenge in Denver and Michael Bennet's run for governor against Phil Weiser. The conversation looks at why prediction markets are skeptical of the incumbents, why polling is so thin, and what early ballot returns can and cannot tell us. Masket explains why Colorado's shift from swing state to reliably blue state has made Democratic primaries the more meaningful arena for governance. A major theme is anti-establishment energy inside the Democratic Party. Some voters are not necessarily demanding a different policy platform; they are demanding a different posture toward Trump and national politics.  The episode also explores whether the rise of DSA-style and populist Democratic campaigns means class politics is becoming a more central frame in the party. Co-host Brian Golden also joins to talk about the latest news from Iran and why markets are being cautious reacting, as well as who the top predictors this week were worldwide. Key topics: Colorado primary day Diana DeGette vs. Melat Kiros and Wanda James Michael Bennet vs. Phil Weiser Prediction markets and lightly polled races Why unaffiliated voters may choose Democratic primaries Anti-establishment energy inside the Democratic Party Trump as the organizing issue for both parties Populism, class politics, and the future of Democratic coalitions.

    Are Democrats about to blow the midterms?

    The progressive insurgency inside the Democratic Party isn't slowing down — and prediction markets are starting to price it in. This week on Eventual, world leading trader Domer breaks down how to trade the DSA wave reshaping deep-blue districts, eight years after AOC's first upset rewrote the rules. We dig into AOC's presidential market — is she a real contender or a long-shot story? Then we talk Chuck Schumer: what does his political future actually look like, and why aren't there more markets on it? From there, we go deep on Michigan with Zack Stanton of MS NOW. Abdul El-Sayed is surging in the Democratic Senate primary ahead of the August 4th vote, and the markets have him heavy favorite over Rep. Haley Stevens. Is that price right? And if El-Sayed wins, does he hand the seat to Mike Rogers in November? Plus: California's billionaire wealth tax is sitting at 65% odds to make the ballot — and Gavin Newsom is quietly trying to kill it before the June 25th certification deadline. We debate whether to fade or follow that number. And Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly building a prediction markets app. What does that mean for Polymarket, Kalshi, and the space overall?

    Trump's nuclear red lines + the AI election | Rachael Bade

    ice President JD Vance is everywhere selling an Iran framework. But Rachael Bade — who writes The Inner Circle on Substack and co-hosts The Huddle — says the hardest sticking points haven't been touched yet. Can Vance and Iran strike a deal that Trump and Congress will approve? Also this week: political forecaster Logan Phillips thinks prediction markets have the New York AI primary completely backwards. OpenAI money is flooding the race to stop assemblyman Alex Bores — but Logan's model has Bores is favored. Brian Golden (aka Prince Howl, #1 econ trader on Kalshi) explains why World Cup group winners are dramatically underpriced in the knockout round — and why 11-and-1 is sitting at 12 cents. Plus: California's billionaire tax showdown, the Thune-Trump rift, and a very short-term bond play on the housing bill.
