Whatever one may think of former President Donald Trump, it's hard to deny that the man has a penchant for wit. After all, you need some some semblance of improvisational chops to become a WWE Hall of Famer. More so, there's something beyond politics about why so many swathes of...

If you've ever felt small or meek, never forget that you -- yes, you -- have the power to make legendary and storied companies buckle. One of the most famous (infamous?) and loudest examples of this came in 2023, when Bud Light and parent company Anheuser-Busch dabbled in transgender lunacy...

It's always cool to see bona fide A-list celebrities openly and proudly discuss their faith. (And make no mistake, conservative funnyman Tim Allen is a bona fide A-lister.) But something that's way cooler -- and rarer -- than that? It's when legit stars are open, meek and humble about how...

The U.S. is racing toward a national debt of $36 trillion and will likely surpass this benchmark before the end of the year, according to public finance economist EJ Antoni.  In homes across the country, Americans are indirectly feeling the weight of the national debt through inflation, and Antoni, who serves as a research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, uses the analogy of wine to explain how.  The Federal Reserve finances a great deal of the national debt, Antoni explains, but “unlike the Treasury, which has to finance everything either through taxes or borrowing money, the Federal Reserve actually can just create money.”  When the Federal Reserve creates money, “it’s like you’re pouring water into wine and you’re literally watering it down,” Antoni says. “So yes, you now have more wine per se, but you don’t have the same concentration of alcohol. So if you were to, as a bartender, pour this out to a bunch of glasses, … you are now cheating each of your customers on exactly the amount of water you have put into all of their glasses. That’s essentially what the Federal Reserve has done by creating literally trillions of dollars in just a few years in order to finance the runaway deficit spending we’ve seen here in Washington.”  The political environment in which the Federal Reserves operates makes it “very easy to see that these massive government deficits are really what’s at the heart of inflation, even if they don’t cause it in a strictly academic sense,” according to Antoni.  Antoni joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to address growing concerns over a recession and what the immediate future may hold for the U.S. economy.
