Episode Details

Trump says inflation will pay off the debt "very rapidly" while his own economic advisor says no way, and he is promising $5,000 checks heading into the midterms. Also on the clock: France now paying more than Italy to borrow, McDonald's sued over AI menu pricing, and the New York Fed reviewing banks' private credit exposure. Where's the signal, and where's the noise?
