Episode notes
Trump Demands Data Transparency
- President Trump publicly asked pharmaceutical companies to "show the data" behind COVID vaccine success, signaling potential major public-health scrutiny.
- Steve Deace and guests see this as overdue and potentially transformative if followed by transparency.
Housing Holds Hidden Liquidity
- Steve Deace argues stored home equity is the largest source of dormant household liquidity blocking microeconomic growth.
- Reviving the housing market could unleash spending and support working-class recovery, he says.
Pay Tariff Dividends To Households
- Steve Cortes recommends sending means-tested tariff rebate checks to middle- and lower-income Americans to deliver tangible benefits.
- He urges making this permanent policy to bind public support to trade reorientation.
