Hurricane Evacuation Saves Lives, Mass Gathering in D.C., Mortgage Rate Mystery

In this podcast episode, we explore two noteworthy events: the "Esters" rally in Washington D.C., a prayer gathering connected to the Christian right and its historical influence on recent political movements, and the surprising rise in mortgage rates following recent adjustments by the Federal Reserve. The conversation examines the impact of these events—how prayer rallies can rally supporters around cultural issues and how rising mortgage rates, influenced by treasury yields and lender margins, create both challenges and opportunities in the housing market.
