First thing’s first, the Fed raised its target rate by a quarter of a point in Kevin Warsh’s quest to reduce the inflation rate he inherited from Joe Biden and Jay Powell, from over 3%, to at least 2%, and perhaps moving it toward zero. And then in the next 24 hours, financial markets applauded.

Let’s begin at the beginning. Low taxes, light regulation, abundant energy, and a strong dollar, are the keys to economic prosperity. And prosperity is as American as apple pie. And though nothing is ever perfect, at the moment I would argue, the American economy is in a very prosperous position, roughly a year after Mr. Trump and the Republicans passed their one, big, beautiful bill.   With David Malpass, Liz Peek, John Carney, Dan Brouillette, Ben Ferguson, Ben Domenech, and Sen. Ron Johnson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hat tip to Attorney General Todd Blanche for wondering out loud why all of a sudden, the media and the Democratic Party, and Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders, are suddenly hyperventilating over the hyper scalers on the eve of an important midterm election, where Democrats have insanely nominated a bunch of hyper socialists who are gonna get whooped on November 3. By the way, the hyperventilating media is also trying to force the Federal Reserve to raise the interest rate.

I’m surely not your run-of-the-mill expert on the frontiers of artificial intelligence. I have some sense of models, agents, and bots. And I think I understand concerns that rogue AI agents can break free of their human instructions, or what the industry sometimes calls quote “misalignment.” Yes, humans need to be able to keep control of the machines. But I also know something about election year ruses, including political hoaxes, such as we’ve seen in the past.

25 years later, after the horrific sneak attack on the twin towers, and then the Pentagon, and then the great bravery and the awful plane crash that landed in Shanksville Pennsylvania, instead of congress, 25 years later I want to say America is winning. Have we completely won the war against terror? No. But there have been no major attacks in the 25-year period.  With Charlie Gasparino, Joe Concha, Mark Simone, Marc Thiessen, John Carney, Taylor Riggs, and Sen. Rick Scott.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"America belongs to those who love it". It’s a beautiful line from President Trump’s speech. And he added, “on election night we’re going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it.” Of course, he was talking about the far left, antisemitic, big government socialists, who have become the tail that wags the Democratic party dog.

President Trump will speak to the nation tonight from the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, Texas.To quote my friend Kellyanne Conway, the GOP has the money, the message, but they don’t have the right sales pitch. That’s Mr. Trump’s assignment tonight, and there’s no one who can make a sale the way he can.

There are reports that the administration is cooking up a plan to allow married couples with a stay-at-home spouse to collect childcare subsidies, using funds from an HHS program, also intended to assist working parents. The HHS fund was created a while back to help low income and working-class parents afford childcare, so they could go to work. Kind of sounds like taking from Peter in order to give to Paul. I don't think it's a really good idea. With Sen. Ted Cruz, Stephen Miran, General Keith Kellogg, and Gianno Caldwell Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Right on cue, the media got ready to print a bad jobs report for August, and then SLAM,  the number comes out 162,000. About 3 times the Wall Streetconsensus. Of course, most of Wall Street and their liberal pals in the media just love to ignore eight straight manufacturing ISM increases, and fifteen straight monthly ISM services increases. And tremendous gains in industrial production and consumer spending. With Taylor Riggs, John Carney, Robert O'Brien, Marc Thiessen, Byron York and David Bahnsen Learn more about your ad choices.

Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh signaled the central bank may not be done fighting inflation with higher interest rates.  The remarks were his most substantive since he took over this spring, and investors took them as a sign the Fed is more likely to raise rates. Warsh said he saw little sign that borrowing and lending conditions were restraining the economy, and that better inflation readings this summer hadn’t convinced him the underlying trend was improving.
