Can Trump Save The Economy From Coronavirus? He Needs To Start Here — WALL STREET MEETS WASHINGTON Ep. 4

Every Friday, Daily Caller White House correspondent Christian Datoc sits down with Wall Street guru and CEO of Farvahar Partners Omeed Malik for a new episode of “Wall Street Meets Washington,” the only show that breaks down the beltway’s economic updates in a way that makes sense for both financial VIPs and every day Americans looking for market tips.

Today, we ran through a crash course on oil, futures, and securities, the latest unemployment numbers, new and fixed problems with the Paycheck Protection Program, and debated whether or not the government should bail out states.

Finally, the guys discussed whether or not the United States was right to social distance in the first place. New data coming out of Sweden and California suggests we could be much further along the path toward herd immunity than previously thought, which re-raises the question: should we kill the economy to kill the virus?

Make sure to go and check out last week’s episode if you didn’t watch it already. We were the first show to raise questions around employer liability for bringing workers back, and now Larry Kudlow and the White House are considering how the address the problem. Gurus indeed.
