Summer, Soccer & Skepticism • Best 60ish Seconds

In this week's Best 60ish Seconds, Charlie opens with World Cup excitement — the USA delivered a dominant 4-1 win over Paraguay, powered by Folarin Balogun's brace and a stellar performance by Hershey's Christian Pulisic.

He's recording ahead of Friday's USA vs. Australia match and is eager for Brazil's Saturday clash against Haiti. On Brazil, Charlie says they were sluggish in the first half against Morocco but came alive in the second — he singles out Vini Jr.'s sensational curling equalizer as one of the great goals of the tournament so far in a 1-1 draw.

Charlie then turns to the U.S.-Iran deal, commenting on the politics and policy sides of the agreement. However, Charlie's verdict is blunt: Iran's word is as good as nothing.

From there, Tuesday's primaries: Trump's late endorsement of Rep. Mike Collins proved decisive in Georgia's Senate runoff, though Trump's pick in the governor's race fell short. In Alabama, Trump-endorsed Barry Moore won the Senate runoff. And in D.C., self-described socialist Janeese Lewis George won the Democratic mayoral primary with 53%.

On the economy, new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh held rates steady in his first FOMC meeting but shifted the committee away from its easing bias — a clear signal that hikes may be coming.

Charlie closes by welcoming summer's official arrival and wishing a Happy Father's Day to all the dads watching!
