Team 47 - Trump’s Economy

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

The latest U.S. jobs report, revealing a slowdown in hiring with only 22,000 jobs added in August. Clay and Buck analyze inflation’s lingering effects under President Biden, emphasizing how price hikes have reshaped consumer expectations and daily costs—from fast food to coffee. They argue that although inflation has cooled, the damage to household budgets remains embedded, creating a political challenge for President Trump’s current administration. They also cover breaking news about a Supreme Court case that could impact presidential authority over tariffs, potentially reversing nearly a trillion dollars in collected revenue. Clay and Buck explore the legal and economic ramifications of this decision. The U.S. military’s unprecedented kinetic strike against a suspected narco-terrorist vessel in the Caribbean and the implications of this escalation in the war on drugs, including the deployment of fighter jets to Puerto Rico and the legal authority behind targeting drug traffickers with lethal force. They explore how the designation of cartels as terrorist organizations changes the rules of engagement and could reshape U.S. counter-narcotics strategy. Clay and Buck dive deep into the economics of the drug trade, emphasizing how cartels continue to profit despite increased seizures and enforcement. They argue that the risk-reward calculus for drug mules and smugglers may shift dramatically in light of the new military tactics. Clay urges parents and grandparents to talk to their kids about the dangers of fentanyl-laced party drugs, highlighting the growing number of accidental poisonings among young Americans. Dr. Nicole Saphier, of Fox News and the C&B Podcast Network’s “Wellness Unmasked,” unpacks two of the most explosive health policy stories in America: RFK Jr.’s controversial Senate testimony and Florida’s bold move to repeal school vaccine mandates.
