Economist Justin Wolfers joins the podcast to talk about President Donald Trump’s unprecedented attempt to remove Dr. Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve Board governor, as part of his effort to consolidate total control over the economy. Justin and Colin also discuss the administration’s reckless trade wars and how President Trump’s agenda is weakening the economy and increasing prices.
