We’re back today with part two of our recent interview with Brian Wesbury. He was kind enough to sit down with me and take all things economics. Last time, we focused our discussion on his predictions for 2019, but today the talk shifted towards foreign trade relations. Here’s an outline of what we discussed, with timestamps so that you can skip around to the section(s) that interest you the most:

0:30 - Brian’s opinion on the trade war with China and the economic impact it’s having on us

2:30 - What’s causing our economy to improve?

4:00 - Why a global slowdown won’t necessarily have a big domestic impact

4:45 - How the national debt factors into the health of the economy

Thanks again to Brian for joining me to talk about all of this fascinating stuff. If you have any questions for him, reach out on Twitter @wesbury. If you have any questions for me, you can always reach me via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
