Hello, everybody. Dave Hodges here. I'm the host of the Common Sense Show. We are the show that is

freeing America, one in slave-minded time. And we're going to talk about state of the economy

through the eyes of the confused or seemingly confused Federal Reserve, either they're

confused or they're obfuscating, probably a little of both.

And we've got our expert with us on these matters, Bob Kudla, trade genius.

And we'll tell you about tri genius as we go too.

But this is really important stuff because we are headed for some interesting times economically, and I see, from my perspective,

things taking shape. I see some clear patterns beginning to emanate out of what seemingly was the

confusion, and we're going to let Bob really kind of break it down through the eyes of the Federal

Reserve. Bob, first of all,

welcome back from the South Pacific. Glad you're back safe and sound. And these are very confusing times for a lot of people. On one hand, we got the, we got Biden proclaiming the economy

as the strongest it's ever been. And then on the other hand, we got some real bad warning signs.

And then we got the word salads of Jerome Powell. So I'll let you kind of decide where you want

to jump in on all this. Yeah, from Medder, I thought you said I was the one that was confused.

But I'm glad you, I'm glad you cleared that up. Look, up. Look, um, there's no confusion on anybody's part.

This is a, uh, this is a designed feature of the, uh, basically the Keynesian, um, you know,

economic model where they're just going to spend as much money as possible.

They don't view debt as an issue.

Okay?

Debt is a tool.

And so, and they got Jerome Powell was initially trapped.

And I think he's now has basically given up on on trying to fight inflation.
