Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Heritage Foundation chief economist E.J. Antoni joins ‘Kudlow’ to analyze rising import prices and their impact on the Federal Reserve’s rate path after Kevin Warsh rejects forward guidance.

Reuters reported, “A top U.S. bank regulator issued a report on Wednesday finding some of the country’s largest banks unfairly denied services to some clients on political, religious or other grounds, but stopped short of imposing penalties.
Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo discusses the reported federal investigation involving Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., including the seizure of a phone and subpoenas involving some of her family circle, on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’
A few days ago, President Donald Trump warned of a “1929-style Depression…if the Democrats get in.”
Trump is, of course, referring to November’s midterm elections. And throwing hearty rhetoric at the wall – hoping it sticks for electoral effect.
Democrats have started fires all over America, and they keep feeding them.
Their focus on affordability as a key issue in the midterm elections is absurd. Their push to reshape America into a candidate for Marxist globalist governance and their opening of the borders to tens of millions of unvetted migrants have played a major role in the inflation we are currently facing.
Feminist sports icon Billie Jean King is at it again, oblivious to economics and banging on about “equal pay” for female tennis players. It apparently never occurs to her that there’s one way to get the men’s money.
The same way the men do: Compete on the men’s tour and succeed.
Oh, that’s too much to ask? The women couldn’t cut it there?
Well, look at that: You just learned, Billie, why they’re not making the men’s money.

I have oft written of the K-Shaped Economy. To wit….
K Street Dominates DC – So a K-Shaped Economy Dominates the US
What is a K-Shaped Economy, you ask?:
I have used the envelope system in my own home. Actual paper envelopes. Actual cash. Sitting on my kitchen counter, labeled in Sharpie for groceries, gas, the kids’ activities, all of it. And here is what happened the one time I reached into the grocery envelope and there wasn’t enough left for the steak I wanted: I didn’t buy the steak. I stood there in the meat aisle at Aldi, did the math in my head, and put it back. Bought chicken instead. My daughter still brings it up. “Remember when we didn’t get steak because of the envelope, Dad?” Yes, sweetheart. I remember. Because that’s what happens when the money is gone. It’s gone. There’s no secret second envelope hiding behind the first one. There’s no “we’ll figure it out next month.” The cash in the envelope IS the budget, and when it’s empty, you stop. Full stop. No negotiation with yourself at 9pm in a grocery store.
Former Reagan economist Art Laffer discusses the Fed’s decision to raise rates on ‘Kudlow.’
President Donald Trump says the Fed was wrong to raise interest rates by a quarter percentage point. In a Truth Social post, Trump said that US rates “should be 1%, or less.” Chris Phelan, White House Council of Economic Advisers chairman, agrees and says anyway you measure it – inflation is coming down. He is on “Balance of Power.”
Michael Knowles discusses reports that the Trump administration is drafting plans to subsidize stay-at-home parents. He calls it one of the best policies to come out of the administration.
President Donald Trump intensifies pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, threatening to cut off trade with certain economies with which the US has a deficit. He speaks with reporters at the White House.
Unleash Prosperity principal Phil Kerpen and SlateStone Wealth chief market strategist Kenny Polcari discuss Fed chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech, July PCE inflation data and Federal Reserve monetary policy on ‘Kudlow.’
Last Tuesday, the US’s debt passed the $40 trillion mark.
DC enjoys ignoring the debt almost as much as it loves piling it up. But that grim mile marker forced some of DC’s denizens to extrude some fake concern.
The tenor of which was almost entirely that of innocent bystanders – rather than that of the malevolent participants they all are:
Our income is under attack from both the right and left. The socialist left wants corporate profits to be restricted with higher taxes while the Trump administration has been intimidating corps to lower prices – both plans mean less income to pay their shareholders. Corporations use their gross income (profit before tax) for capital improvements and research. What remains after taxes is paid out as dividends to the owners (stockholders). Anyone who has common stock – either personally, in trust or in a retirement account – is at risk of losing income when publicly traded companies encounter reduced profits.
Another week has flown by, and who knows what’s really going on? Certainly not the media. Or if they do, they’re not saying. Don knows, though, and he’ll make you laugh and think as he attempts to explain.
Donald Trump is reconstructing his tariff wall after it was struck down by the Supreme Court.
Yesterday – on Sunday, because the Internet never rests? I received in my inbox an op-ed from Larry Kudlow.
For those of you who don’t know…:
“Lawrence Alan Kudlow is an American conservative broadcast news analyst, economist, columnist, journalist, political commentator, and radio personality. He is a financial news commentator for Fox Business and served as the director of the National Economic Council during the Trump administration from 2018 to 2021.”
I’ve met Larry. He is a very nice guy.
That said: Kudlow is a standard-issue Washington, DC center-right economy guy. He is exactly the type of Republican economist – that is killing the Republican Party.
Kudlow’s economic messaging – is the Republicans’ economic messaging. And it is more tone deaf than a year’s worth of nationwide karaoke contests.
