Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Government Shutdown Nearing an End

[09:50 - 19:00]

• Jake opens the show discussing why the government shutdown is ending:
  He asserts that it wasn't concern for government workers or welfare recipients, but that "personal inconvenience" (namely, mass flight cancellations impacting lawmakers and their friends/families) pushed Senate Democrats to finally compromise.
  • “The Democrats in the Senate couldn't care less about all the government workers who got laid off or didn't get a paycheck…what happened was this weekend they personally and their friends and their families and their donors were personally inconvenienced for the first time because of all of those flight cancellations.” – Jake Novak [13:15]
• Advice to the Trump team: Next time, target issues that personally affect lawmakers to force action sooner.

    • “They gotta spend a lot less time on TV making each other look bad and sit down and make deals.” – Jason Dusso [20:32]
  • Ranks the current economy as a "gentleman’s C+." He’s bullish for next year but hesitant to upgrade due to lack of current data.

• President Trump’s 50-year Mortgage Proposal:

  • Caution: Jake notes potential downsides – less home equity when selling early.

• Tariffs and the Supreme Court:
  Trump promises $2,000 refunds from tariff revenues for every citizen; the Supreme Court is debating his authority to impose tariffs.

  • Jake: “I think that's a great pitch to the American people… but I don't know if that's a great pitch while the justices are considering this.”
  • Jason: “The tariffs have not caused the pain that was predicted... I'd hate to see the American government have to write back those checks to these other governments.” [30:45]
  • Both agree that Democratic messaging is excessively negative on the economy:
    • Jason: “It’s very resilient… The doomsday sayers about the tariffs were wrong.” [35:10]
