**Episode Description — *Trump, War & Power: Fed Case Collapses, Iran Conflict Grows, and the Politics Behind It All***In this episode of **Habari Live**, Damon and Iesha break down a week of major political and global developments shaping America and the world. A federal judge blocks the Justice Department’s case against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling the investigation politically motivated and raising new concerns about pressure on the Fed’s independence. ([Reuters][1])We also examine the growing conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, as oil prices surge, shipping routes are threatened, and officials warn the war could trigger a global energy crisis if it spreads across the region. ([Financial Times][2])The conversation expands to the politics behind war, the use of investigations against opponents, and why cultural messaging often outweighs economic policy in American elections. From foreign policy tensions to domestic power struggles, this episode connects the dots between money, war, and political influence in today’s America.**Topics covered:*** Powell investigation blocked by federal judge* Trump vs the Federal Reserve* Iran war escalation & oil price warnings* U.S. foreign policy pressure from allies* DOJ investigations & political retaliation concerns* Why poor states still vote Republican* Culture, identity, and power in American politics**News Our Way.**[1]: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/judge-blocks-subpoenas-against-fed-chair-powell-nbc-news-reports-2026-03-13/?utm_source=chatgpt.com "Judge blocks subpoenas against Fed Chair Powell, DOJ to appeal"[2]: https://www.ft.com/content/e5d1f192-c9f1-448f-9aa4-528d6e867cd2?utm_source=chatgpt.com "Wall Street warns Iran war will trigger prolonged energy crisis"
