WTH Happened This Week with Danielle & Dustin 8.1.25

Danielle Nava, CFP® and Dustin Granger break down political & economic news live this week, discussing:

• The Economy

  • Tariffs, TACO, etc.

  • Stock Market does not equal Economy, and this environment is perfect example of that

• Job numbers and the subsequent firing of the labor statistics commissioner

  • Our Orwellian era

  • The flaw in the GDP numbers that people are waking up to

  • We very well may already be in a recession

• Immigration

  • Alexandria, LA is deportation capital

  • How mass deportations are going to help tank our economy (and are deeply, morally wrong.)

• A moment for helplessness when hearing about Colombia University and The Smithsonian bending the knee

• Gerrymandering in focus

  • time to play by their rules

• Dustin’s plea for “no party” Louisianans since the legislature just got rid of the Independent party: join the democrats; not choosing a side is a win for Republicans.

• Epstein update

• Strategy talk for dems running for Congress & Senate in ‘26

  • “hit ‘em where it hurts”
