Josh opens the show by breaking down what he calls a historic move by the Trump administration to roll back several Obama-era EPA regulations. He explains why supporters see the decision as a major win and why it’s sparking intense backlash from critics on the left. He’s then joined by E.J. Antoni, Chief Economist at The Heritage Foundation, to discuss the latest economic headlines and unpack the newest inflation numbers. Antoni offers insight into where the economy may be headed and what it means for Americans moving forward. Later, Jay Richards, Vice President of Social and Domestic Policy at The Heritage Foundation, joins Josh to react to this week’s religious liberty commission hearing and the controversy surrounding it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The changing of the guard at the top of the Federal Reserve comes at a crucial time for policymakers and markets. It is far from certain whether the promise of artificial intelligence heralds an era of stronger trend growth, or if the displacement in labor markets that might result will prove more damaging. Kevin Warsh’s term as Chairman will surely be defined as much by this question as his stated desire to reorient Fed policies and its mission. To discuss all of this, we are thrilled to welcome back Simona Mocuta, Chief Economist of State Street Investment Management.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eighty percent of Americans live in urban areas, and for them, 2026 is likely to be a year of immense change as the federal government quickens the pace of trillions of dollars in funding cuts to cities, counties, and states expected over the next decade. Moderated by William Glasgall, Volcker Alliance Public Finance Adviser and Penn IUR Fellow, and Susan Wachter, Co-Director of the Penn Institute for Urban Research and Wharton Professor of Real Estate and Professor of Finance, our expert panel from government and Wall Street will dissect how urban America and its leaders will cope with this new brand of fiscal federalism. Speakers include: • Janet Cowell, Mayor of Raleigh, North Carolina • Fitzroy Lee, Deputy Chief Financial Officer and Chief Economist, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, District of Columbia • Sarah Parker, Senior Research and Strategy Officer for Infrastructure, Environmental and Economic Analysis, New York City's Independent Budget Office (IBO) • Nicholas Samuels, Senior Vice President, US Public Finance at Moody's Ratings and • Matthew Stitt, Managing Director, PFM Group Consulting LLC. NOTABLE QUOTES Cowell: “We feel optimistic that we're a growing community with a number of levers and ways we can accommodate that growth, good finances, but the risk does become that federal relationship and how they look at cities and fund cities. Parker: “The relationship of a city and a state is becoming even more crucial, and even that dynamic has shifted as the relationship between the federal government and states and cities has really become much more tenuous. […] Our partnerships with Albany, both Governor Hochul and the state legislature, are more important than ever.” Lee: “As the nation's capital, of course, we host a disproportionate amount of federal jobs. And so the federal workforce downsizing presents the biggest challenge to the district's economy for the year ahead.” Lee: “[The city] budget anticipated the fiscal impact of the federal workforce reduction and incorporated a revenue reduction of about $300 million per year. That's about 3% of the district's $11 billion local source revenue.” Stitt: “In regard to the funding challenges, many cities and/or counties are preparing for how to maintain service delivery despite federal cuts. This is partially being reflected in budgeting five-year plans/forecast by some cities placing more money into their reserves.” Samuels: In 3 of the 10 largest U.S. Cities, the combination of rent and childcare, transportation, and taxes consume more than 60% of household income. So, those kinds of rising living costs […] dampen consumer spending, they reduce tax revenues, they can influence migration patterns and workforce availability.” Parker: “The longer term [issue] is how a government itself addresses its own adaptation needs relative to its physical climate risk.” Cowell: “In North Carolina and in many states in the South, the State General Assembly has a lot of authority and power, and they have taken away a number of revenue sources for local government […] They are setting the rules, and it definitely impacts how we do our job as mayors.”

Dean Foreman, Chief Economist at the Texas Oil and Gas Association joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the evolving landscape of global oil markets and the critical intersection of natural gas and artificial intelligence.With sanctions lifted on Venezuela, the conversation analyzes the flow of heavy crude to the US Gulf Coast, noting the potential need for over $200 billion in investment to restore Venezuela's production capacity. Dean explains how US refiners are capitalizing on this heavy feedstock while simultaneously navigating a global market where the US has surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia as a leading energy producer.Looking toward the future of energy demand, the discussion identifies natural gas as a stabilizing force for the power grid, essential for supporting the exponential growth of data centers and generative AI. By co-locating power generation with data infrastructure in West Texas, the industry is leveraging record efficiencies to fuel The Road to Autonomy and ensure long-term economic resilience.Episode Chapters0:00 Venezuela7:25 Increasing Global Demand for Oil9:08 Petroleum Byproducts11:39 Oil and Natural Gas Exports13:40 Permian Basin16:11 Infrastructure Buildout22:11 Oil and Natural Gas Impact on Texas' Economy25:01 Automation & AI27:52 U.S. Consumer34:00 Next QuarterRecorded on Tuesday, January 20, 2026--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

We talk a lot about opportunity in America—but far less about where opportunity actually exists and why.Why do some states consistently help people climb the economic ladder while others trap families in place for generations? Why do well-intended policies often backfire? And why is “doing more” by the government so often the wrong answer when it comes to social mobility?That's exactly what we unpack in Episode 186 of the Let People Prosper Show with Dr. Justin Callais, Chief Economist at the Archbridge Institute and lead author of the new Social Mobility in the 50 States (2025) report.Justin brings data, clarity, and—refreshingly—humility to one of the most politicized topics in economics. The findings challenge both the left's obsession with redistribution and the right's tendency to overlook the very real policy barriers that states create.Watch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify, Substack for show notes at vanceginn.substack.com, and visit my website at vanceginn.com for more information about my work at Ginn Economic Consulting.

Economic pressure rarely comes from a single source. It builds through policy shifts, innovation waves, and global relationships that test long-held assumptions.

Key takeaways: Why trade policy changes and tariffs reshape investment decisions and supply chain planning Global security concerns are influencing fiscal priorities and cross-border cooperation AI-driven productivity gains alongside labor market disruption for early career workers How the rising debt burdens and interest costs are pressuring government budgets How inflation trends, wage pressures, and central bank independence shape market outlooks And more!

In this episode of Excess Returns, Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather joins Matt Zeigler to unpack what she calls the Great Housing Reset. Rather than a housing crash or correction, Fairweather argues the market is entering a multi year transition toward something more normal, where incomes gradually catch up to home prices and affordability improves at the margin.

This week, we're cutting through the chaos and zeroing in on what matters most to your financial life: your investments, your home, and your next money moves. Jean sits down with Dr. Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics, to unpack how global uncertainty, rising mortgage rates, and Trump-era policies are reshaping our economy. From the stock market rollercoaster to the housing “lock-in” crisis, Mark offers practical, down-to-earth advice for navigating it all. You'll learn: Why Mark says, “Don't even look at the market” (and what to do instead) What the mortgage “doom loop” means for Millennials, Gen Z, and retirees How long it could take to restore housing affordability in America Why homeownership is still a powerful wealth-building tool The truth about 50-year mortgages, portable loans, and whether they can help How to think smartly about helping your kids now vs. leaving a legacy later

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to disrupt the labor market by replacing certain tasks and enhancing the productivity of others. Although these changes could eventually lead to broader prosperity, they could also cause worker displacement, increase inequality, and decrease entry-level work opportunities. In this episode, we talk with Lisa Simon, Chief Economist of Revelio Labs, about the ways AI has already impacted the labor market, its diverse effects across occupations and industries, and what history can tell us about the longer-term future of work.

Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Greg Jericho, Columnist with the Guardian and Chief Economist with The Australia Institute.

Is there such a thing as MAD in economic warfare? How should we measure the effectiveness of our industrial policy tools, and what outcomes should we be aiming for anyway? Our guest today is Dan Kim, who served at USITC with stints at Qualcomm and SK hynix before returning to government as the Chief Economist for the CHIPS Program Office. He recently joined TechInsights as Chief Strategy Officer. Also joining us is Chris Miller of Chip War fame.  We discuss: What $39 billion can and can't buy — why the CHIPS Act was never meant to de-risk the U.S. from China or Taiwan, and what “success” looks like when autarky is neither affordable nor desirable, Apple vs. Xiaomi + BYD — invention versus fast-following as competing models of national power, and which system performs better when the goal shifts from profit maximization to geopolitical resilience, What resilience actually means — capability vs. capacity, weakest links, and whether economic security should be measured as “time to recovery” rather than self-sufficiency, Managed dependence vs. overreliance, and whether dependence itself can be a form of power, Why the U.S. still lacks a clear theory, metrics, and institutional design for industrial strategy — and what you can do about it.

Antoni, Chief Economist at the Heritage Foundation, to break down one of the most overlooked drivers of today’s economic growth: deregulation. While tax cuts and energy policy often dominate economic headlines, Antoni explains why deregulation has quietly powered hiring, profitability, and expansion—especially for small businesses that lack the resources to navigate burdensome federal rules. Drawing on real-world examples from the Trump administration, Antoni details how rolling back environmental and labor regulations reduced costs, increased flexibility, and unlocked economic activity across Main Street America. The conversation explores why overregulation disproportionately harms entrepreneurs, how regulatory rollbacks helped fuel stronger-than-expected growth, and what future deregulation efforts could mean for jobs, wages, and consumer prices. If you want to understand what’s really driving economic momentum—and why small businesses are at the center of it—this episode is a must-watch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carl Weinberg, Chief Economist and Managing Director at High Frequency Economics, discusses why he sees supply chain disruption as the biggest risk in 2026. The labor market remains tight with unemployment near historic lows and no evidence of weakness, even as payroll growth slows due to labor supply constraints. Recent productivity gains have helped sustain growth, but they may prove temporary and insufficient to offset structural limits. As tariffs work their way into prices, inflation risks are rising, increasing the likelihood that the Fed pauses or tightens policy later in 2026. More concerning than inflation, however, is the vulnerability of U.S. supply chains to China, which dominates nearly every critical industrial material. A disruption would pose a direct and severe threat to U.S. growth and industrial capacity. Weinberg spoke with Bloomberg's Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Read the full transcript here. What is the core public interest case for foreign aid beyond soft power? How should we define safety and prosperity? Why do many voters believe aid is a quarter of the budget when it is a tiny fraction and how does that shape support? How did a political decision to halt awards ripple through real programs and what safeguards failed? What legal and institutional checks should prevent a single administration from impounding funds that Congress appropriated? When government pauses, how can private funders triage the most life saving pieces without letting systems collapse? If an agency is rebuilt, which programs should be protected first and which processes should be redesigned from day one? How do we embed evidence and cost effectiveness at the start of strategy rather than as an afterthought in evaluation? What would it look like to center partner governments in the process so that learning becomes part of their own delivery? How can we avoid a fixation on what is easy to measure while still demanding clear estimates and accountability? What does it mean to meet donors where they are while steering them toward the highest impact use of funds? Dean Karlan is the Frederic Esser Nemmers Distinguished Professor of Economics and Finance at Northwestern University, and the Founder and former President of Innovations for Poverty Action, a non-profit organization dedicated to discovering and promoting solutions to global poverty problems.
