CHARLIE HURT (HOST): While we get slimmer, our wallets are getting fatter. We just made $150 billion in tariff revenue and wages are going up. And any panicking that gets in the way, Trump's going to fire. Trump just pink slipped the labor stats commissioner for putting out fake job numbers for Joe and Kamala. Unlike Bidenomics, Trumponomics don't need cooked up reports to tell people how they should feel about their wallets. Main Street and Wall Street are feeling the golden age every day.
