Episode description

Welcome back to another Saturday coffee klatch with Heather Lofthouse, where we examine the lows and even lowers of the previous week. Today on our roster:

— The Hollywood strike, and what it really means for the new economy.

— The FTC’s setback on its attempt to stop Microsoft from acquiring Activision, and what it means for the new economy.

— The good news on inflation, and what it means for Biden (and why the Fed should relax now and stop raising interest rates).

— Special Counsel Jack Smith has called Jared Kushner before the grand jury, and what this means for Trump.

— The Family Leader Summit in Iowa, and what it means for every Republican candidate except Trump.

— We’ll also talk about why I’m so short.

So please grab a cup, pull up a chair, and join us. (And take our poll, if you wish.)
