Next, we head back into the vault to present an in-depth interview Steve did with Larry Kudlow at the time of the release of Larry's best selling book "JFK and the Reagan Revolution: A Secret History of American Prosperity."

Steve talks with CFN’s investment team in this extended two-segment discussion. They discuss the impact of President Trump's call for tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. Some economists fear it may trigger a trade war causing inflation that will slow U.S. economic growth.

They also discuss investments that are effective during inflationary times.
Then, Steve talks about this week's resignation of President Trump's chief economic adviser Gary Cohn.

Steve also talks about "the spending challenge" and how it can give us a better understanding of how we use our disposable income.
After a lifetime of work, people need to determine how financially ready they are for the transition into retirement. Steve discusses how leaving work life, and a reliable earned income behind, can cause anxiety. Steve details ways good planning and an understanding of "your money mind" can help you live your best life.
Then Steve discusses how the relative strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar impacts the economy. He talks about why the Trump administration may be embracing a weaker U.S. dollar policy and why some economists believe this may not be the best course of action.
News of inflation and the potential for rising interest rates are getting a lot of attention. Steve begins with a discussion on the recent activities of the Federal Reserve and how moves by the nation's central bank affect our economy.
