A wake-up call to Republicans Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Bet you didn’t know this, but core business investment shipments, known as CapEx on Wall Street, think companies that make machines, metal products, computers, electronics, cars, anyway, new orders are up 16.4% annually, for the past 3 months. And 14.1% year-on-year. We haven’t seen numbers like this in several decades. When businesses are healthy, and producing, and purchasing, it is a great sign of economic health.

Netanyahu's barn burner speech Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood at the podium of the United Nations General Assembly hall and absolutely tore into all of the multiplying progenitors of antisemitism around the world. It was a remarkable speech. He regards himself as the leader of world Jewry, and no one can deny him that platform. He has basically governed Israel for nearly 30 years through thick and thin, through the wars and the massacres.

With Michael Faulkender, Robert Greenway, Sen Mike Lee, Steve Forbes, Liz Peek, Ben Domenech, Ben Ferguson, and Brent Sadler.

Diesel export ban is a bad idea Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Price controls are always a bad idea. They create shortages, profit losses, and eventually much higher prices when the controls are finally lifted. So this administration idea of a diesel export ban, is a problem if it really goes through.

Keith
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Marc Sumerlin and Walter Russell Mead

Trump's optimistic UN vision Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

All the headlines from Mr. Trump’s UN speech are focused on his prior statements warning Iran that they either make a deal or face annihilation. I believe annihilation refers to the regime. And he warned them not to focus on the midterm elections because he’s gonna be President for another two and a half years. So, in effect, Mr. Trump discounted the midterm elections, and took them off the table. A bad day for Iran.

With Marc Thiessen, Rebecah Heinrichs, Robert O'Brien, Miranda Devine, John Carney, Nancy Tengler, Jason Trennert and James Carafano

Don't underestimate Mr. Trump and the GOP Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

With 43 days until the midterm election, the mainstream media may be hedging its bets about Democratic victory and Republican destruction. One of the first cracks in the armor is an NBC poll that shows Dems edging out Republicans 50% to 45% among registered voters. Looks like a nice lead but is it really? The story notes that it’s a lot slimmer edge than the 12 point lead Dems had in the 2018 cycle.

With Newt Gingrich, General Jack Keane, Michael Pillsbury and John Rutlidge

An attack on King dollar Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

The NY Times is at it again with a long hit piece on the American economy and the dollar. Virtually every claim they make is factually wrong. I've got a couple numbers for you. Maybe the most important error in the NY Times piece was their failure to cite that 89% of foreign exchange trades are dollar based. Now if that isn't King Dollar, I don't know what it. And the principal stable coins are dollar denominated. And foreign investors have bought around $263 billion of treasuries over the past year, and these yields have gone up mostly because a strong economy is raising real interest rates.

With Kellyanne Conway, John Carney, Chrisina Skinner, Marc Thiessen, Byron York, and Brent Sadler.

Financial markets applaud Warsh Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

First thing’s first, the Fed raised its target rate by a quarter of a point in Kevin Warsh’s quest to reduce the inflation rate he inherited from Joe Biden and Jay Powell, from over 3%, to at least 2%, and perhaps moving it toward zero. And then in the next 24 hours, financial markets applauded.

With Jason Katz, Art Laffer, Michael Faulkender, Brian Wesbury, Mary Katharine Ham, Joe Concha and Roger Zakheim

Prosperity is as American as apple pie Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

Let’s begin at the beginning. Low taxes, light regulation, abundant energy, and a strong dollar, are the keys to economic prosperity. And prosperity is as American as apple pie. And though nothing is ever perfect, at the moment I would argue, the American economy is in a very prosperous position, roughly a year after Mr. Trump and the Republicans passed their one, big, beautiful bill.

With David Malpass, Liz Peek, John Carney, Dan Brouillette, Ben Ferguson, Ben Domenech, and Sen. Ron Johnson.

The Hyperventilating Media Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Hat tip to Attorney General Todd Blanche for wondering out loud why all of a sudden, the media and the Democratic Party, and Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders, are suddenly hyperventilating over the hyper scalers on the eve of an important midterm election, where Democrats have insanely nominated a bunch of hyper socialists who are gonna get whooped on November 3. By the way, the hyperventilating media is also trying to force the Federal Reserve to raise the interest rate.

With Miranda Devine, Douglas Holts-Eakin, Marc Sumerlin, Charles Payne, Charlie Gasparino, and Mike Sarraille.

The AI Armageddon Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

I’m surely not your run-of-the-mill expert on the frontiers of artificial intelligence. I have some sense of models, agents, and bots. And I think I understand concerns that rogue AI agents can break free of their human instructions, or what the industry sometimes calls quote “misalignment.” Yes, humans need to be able to keep control of the machines. But I also know something about election year ruses, including political hoaxes, such as we’ve seen in the past.

With Taylor Budowich, Newt Gingrich, Art Laffer, Steve Moore, Ben Shapiro and Aaron Cohen.
