  • Kudlow praises a hypothetical new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, for not raising rates and for focusing on data rather than 'forward guidance,' contrasting him with Jay Powell.
  • The S&P 500 hit a new record high, which Kudlow and a clip of Donald Trump attribute to 'Trumpian policies,' benefiting 156 million American adults who own stocks.
