KP unpacks why the real inflation threat isn’t tariffs—but America’s $3.8T spending habits and softening labor productivity. The Fed’s next move? Don’t count on cuts just yet.From the “TACO trade” (Trump Always Chickens Out) to Nvidia’s $8B tariff beatdown, KP blends data and wit to help you see through the noise. Plus, a shoutout to AI in lending, the rise of women’s sports bars, and why watching Netflix still beats panic-buying imported steel.👇 What’s inside this episode:00:00 – Live from Sea Island, MBA Chairman’s Conference01:00 – Labor vs. inflation: why jobs matter more02:52 – Inflation myths & the PCE surprise03:40 – Tariff math 101: 14 and 9 explained05:23 – Why consumers aren’t buying the fear06:50 – Nvidia, Netflix & the resilient American spender08:00 – AI's role in the future of lending08:30 – Women’s sports bars are booming09:15 – Live from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in ATL10:40 – Jobs week preview: light data ahead?12:00 – Budget worries, tax cuts & inflation’s long game14:20 – $1T+ in interest vs. defense spending: red flag?15:30 – Summer kicks off, school’s out, and KP’s still on the move👉 Follow the money, not the headlines: https://linktr.ee/kptalksdollarsandsense#KPOnTheMove #InflationMyth #TariffTalk #TACOTrade #BudgetBattle #JobsWeek #AIinLending #HousingMarket #MortgageInsights #FinancialLiteracy #KPTalks #WomenInSports #SummerEconomics #PCEWatch #SeaIslandToATL
