Summary

James Fishback (Co-Founder and CEO, Azoria Investment Firm) joins Chris Cuomo to explain the “Doge Dividend” — a proposal he created to give Americans a refund check from savings in government spending. Fishback lays out why he believes tariffs, deregulation, and investing in American manufacturing are the keys to rebuilding the middle class. He and Cuomo debate the legacy of Trump’s economic policies, the cost of cheap goods, and whether bold proposals like this can break through to voters. They also discuss the role of AI in government, the opioid crisis, and the deeper tradeoffs of today’s global economy.
