In this episode of New Frontiers, host Paul Johnson brings together top-tier minds – Elliot Pollack, Bob Robb, and Henry Thompson – for an in-depth conversation on America’s most pressing economic questions. As inflation continues to bite, interest rates remain high, and uncertainty grows, the panel explores how Donald Trump’s political maneuvers – from pressuring the Federal Reserve to imposing erratic tariffs – are impacting the global and domestic economy. Together, they offer insight into the fragile state of the U.S. dollar, rising national debt, the housing and labor crisis, federal funding for universities, and the overreach of executive power.
