Hour 2: Trump's $5K Promise | Stephen Reiner on Businesses Changing Fast

Now, we talked a lot in hour one about the fact that it was just 25 years since the 9-11 attacks.

We went a lot in depth about our own personal experiences.

At least for the two of them, I don't have a personal experience with the 9-11 attacks.

Yeah, I was a July 02 kid.

I was merely an idea by that point.

But that's been one of the big things this weekend has been the whole remembrance and 25 years since 9-11, the fact that we should never forget.

But then the other big thing that happened over the past week, it's been the GOP midterms over in Dallas.

So it's no secret at all.

If you look at the optics of the whole situation for the Republicans, and especially for President Trump, that if they haven't already started to feel the heat under their seats, that is very much the case right now.

Like in history, we've never had anything like what's happening.

But because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for five thousand

dollars.

So he made this promise, a $5,000 stipend to all eligible American adults if Republicans end up controlling both houses of Congress following the elections on November the 3rd.

And then the next day, he promised his administration would make $500 payments to nearly a million Americans across 30 states as part of an Obamacare refund.

Now, this is a very big swing to take, especially in what I would argue is a losing position for the president.

But I'm very curious how you two feel about the whole $5,000 stipend.

Do you think he's just throwing whatever he can at the wall, hoping it sticks? Or could this be...
