My latest panel discussion on The Business Pulse. Sign up NOW for the show’s YouTube channel and don’t miss a single episode!

I appeared with Chuck Barham and Dean Owen on The Business Pulse to discuss:

• The Government Shutdown: What the Democrats want, how Trump is going to “beat them like a rented mule” in ways no President has ever even attempted.

• The jobs report, the Fed, and the Supply-Side boom that’s gaining steam.

• Real free trade and how to get it.

• The three dimensions on which Trump’s tariffs are working.

  • Opening foreign markets to U.S. producers

  • Reshoring vital industries

  • Revenue (and why it mostly hits foreigners, not Americans)

• The revival of American coal and the future of nuclear power.

• Trump’s carrot-and-stick approach to peace in Ukraine.

It’s an important, timely half hour. Watch the interview, and pass it along!
