Fed’s Next Move: Rate Cuts, Inflation, and Market Mayhem - Todd Sheets #6327

The Fed is cornered — and markets are bracing for impact. Kerry Lutz and guest Todd Sheets break down the coming interest rate cut and what it means for your money. Todd predicts a 25–50 basis point drop, but warns that political pressure, a weakening job market, and stubborn inflation around 2.8% could turn this into a dangerous gamble. They dig into the Fed’s long track record of failures — from the Great Depression to the runaway inflation of the 1970s — and why today’s chronic deficits could spark similar crises. With precious metals flashing warning signals and Fed policy tilting toward asset holders over consumers, Kerry and Todd explain how investors can prepare for the fallout.

America has lived with a chronic trade deficit since 1974 — and the cost has been staggering. Kerry Lutz and Spencer Morrison unpack how over 60,000 factories have closed and more than 5 million manufacturing jobs have vanished, while nearly $10 trillion has been drained from the U.S. economy through China’s subsidies, intellectual property theft, and unfair trade practices. They reveal how free trade’s short-term benefits have hollowed out the American industrial base, funneled wealth into Wall Street, and left workers behind. The conversation dives into tariffs, reshoring, the paradox of free trade, and whether AI can help rebuild America’s economic strength — or if the damage is already too deep.

In this episode, Kerry Lutz and Gerson Gibbs dive into two forces reshaping America’s future: trade policy and artificial intelligence.
