Trump’s $5,000 Check Promise Collides With America’s $40 Trillion Debt

from The Wake Up America show with Austin Petersen · host Austin Petersen

President Donald Trump has put a $5,000 "dividend" into the midterm fight—but Austin Petersen and Stephanie Petersen ask who pays, whether Congress can authorize it and what another trillion-dollar promise would mean for debt and inflation. They also discuss a United flight attendant's quick action to help an exhausted mother and the challenge of raising children with faith in a chaotic culture. Justin Petersen joins to unpack salvation, Christian traditions, Judaism and how families can introduce children to belief without coercion.
