I'm as anxious to see how that plays out as you are. I will tell you that the sentiment here, certainly my opinion, is that we should reduce interest rates. The American economy is hot and we have so many good things going on.We're delivering over and over the Republican majority here for the American people. Not just the one big beautiful bill, not just with the recisions package that we passed last night clawing back $9 billion of of wasted taxpayer funds. If it's too hot, you don't want to cut on the tab ...

Does that not in itself itself change the expectat ...

Claudia, let me just start with you from kind of the I was going to say egghehead, but that would be impolite from the the economics professions point of view on all of this.Um, but also, I mean, you've had some really thoughtful things say about what what is going on with the economy and inflation. What's your reaction to to Worsh's comme ...

Maybe you hate JPAL. Maybe you love him. Maybe you have no idea who he is.Regardless, what you need to know is that he's in charge of the Federal Reserve. So, he controls what's known as short rates. That means the short-term interest rates there are are like the ones you borrowed today and pay me back to bar.The president appoints the head of the Federal Reserve, and in this case, it was President Trump who hired Pal during his first term. Trump now thinks Pal's doing a terrible job because he won't cut in ...
