Kimmel Returns as Trump Renews Attacks; Powell Reiterates Duel Economic Risks

On today's podcast:
1) Jimmy Kimmel returned to TV, saying "it was never my intention to make light of the death of a young man" and addressing controversy over his remarks about the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Kimmel called Kirk's killer "a sick person" and said the willingness of Kirk's widow Erika to forgive the assassin was an "example we should follow." Kimmel's show was reinstated after he personally negotiated his return with Disney CEO Bob Iger and Dana Walden, and he noted that the company "didn't have to" welcome him back on the air.
2) President Trump said NATO nations should shoot down Russian aircraft that violated their airspace. The president expressed a sympathetic tone on Ukraine's chances of winning the war, saying he believed Ukraine could reclaim all territory taken by Russia. President Trump criticized Russia, saying it was "fighting aimlessly" and made the country look like "a paper tiger," while the Kremlin pushed back, saying Russia "maintains its resilience and stability."
3) Fed Chair Jay Powell said the outlooks for the labor market and inflation face risks, calling it a "challenging situation." Powell stated that "near-term risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside — a challenging situation" and that "two-sided risks mean that there is no risk-free path."
