In this segment of The Morning Update, host Jeff Chidester chats with financial expert, educator, and radio host Thom Brueckner, host of Retirement Intelligence, to break down the latest economic numbers and political climate.

Despite mixed employment data, corporate earnings are surging—driven by record profits in tech and tax incentives for infrastructure buildouts.

Thom explains why the Federal Reserve should flow with economic traffic rather than raise interest rates, while analyzing how robust growth, falling inflation, and strong capital expenditure are shaping the financial outlook.

Plus, a candid look at the political landscape leading into the upcoming midterms and what current economic policies mean for everyday investors.
