The $5,000 Question

Would you take a $5,000 check from the government? President Trump says every American adult could get one if Republicans win both chambers of Congress. The catch? Nobody has really explained how it would work or how it would be funded. Today on Drewscast, Derek breaks down the $5,000 "Trump dividend," surging oil prices, hotter wholesale inflation, rising Treasury yields, and what all of it could mean for the Fed and the economy. Plus, AI agents are starting to behave in ways their creators didn't expect, and the AI boom itself is raising some very real financial questions.

This is Drewscast.
