President Trump’s recent visit to the Federal Reserve was more than symbolic—it was a direct challenge. At a time when Americans are grappling with rising grocery bills, housing costs, and debt payments, the Fed is spending up to $3.1 billion to renovate its D.C. headquarters. Trump’s question—“What’s going on at the Fed?”—is one more people are starting to ask, and rightly so. How do we actually spur growth? It’s encouraging to see the administration tackling that question, but some of the answers, like new tariffs, risk doing more harm than good by raising costs on American consumers. In this week’s edition, we’ll dive into the latest trade developments, GDP and jobs reports, Texas’ special legislative session, the new Trump AI action plan, and more.  You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.
