STIMULUS WAR: How The New Working Class Can Save Trump From COVID | WALL STREET MEETS WASHINGTON EP. 15

Daily Caller White House correspondent Christian Datoc sits down with Wall Street guru and CEO of Farvahar Partners Omeed Malik every Friday for a new episode of “WALL STREET MEETS WASHINGTON.” It’s the only show that breaks down the beltway’s economic updates for both financial VIPs and everyday Americans looking for market tips.

Whether you’re a fan of his politics or not, it’s clear that President Donald Trump’s administration made serious mistakes with how they handled the coronavirus pandemic. It’s not too late for Trump to salvage the situation ahead of the 2020 election in November, but he’s going to need a major boost from the new working class.

This week, Datoc and Malik did a deep dive on the ongoing civil war over how to deliver another round of COVID-19 stimulus spending currently waging within the White House. Should Congress authorize a payroll tax cut or extend unemployment insurance for a second round, and which administration officials are backing each proposal?

Omeed also gave us a little primer on investment banking and explained why JP Morgan and company posted absolutely monstrous revenue numbers for Q2, all while the real economy is flagging. Next, Datoc broke down what Trump’s surprise green light of CIA cyber attacks means for our nation’s enemies and allies.

Finally, the guys took a look at the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) rollercoaster week. DHS walked away from its standoff with Harvard and MIT over foreign students with egg on its face, and Border Patrol’s action in Portland didn’t exactly ease the situation. Still, DHS is exposing yet again just how little some of our political elites care about their citizens.
