This week on the show, host Daniel Vaughan talks about the latest economic stories and data out of China on the Evergrande liquidity crisis and what the broader implications could be here in the United States. He also dives into the supply-chain and inflation issues in the US, how those are an issue in China too, and what could happen if everything happens together. The light item segment is dedicated to a Halloween joke story by Ronald Reagan.
