Dave Ramsey is one the most trusted financial voices in America.

He thought he had heard it all.

And Dave Ramsey only had one thing to say after hearing Trump’s plan to save the economy.

Dave Ramsey interviews Donald Trump

Financial advice guru Dave Ramsey has been helping Americans sort through their money problems since 1992.

This year, he did something he’s never done before and interviewed a Presidential candidate.

Ramsey told Fox News that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign said his request was “under review.”

Former President Donald Trump sat for the interview with Ramsey at Trump Tower in New York.

Ramsey was previously lukewarm on both Trump and Kamala.

“Neither one of these people are going to be your savior. Neither one of [them] are fiscally responsible human beings,” Ramsey stated.

The interview with Trump changed everything.

Trump outlines his economic plan

Trump told Ramsey that his number one agenda item to combat the inflation Kamala’s policies caused was unleashing the American energy industry.

“I’d like to use another line but there’s no line that’s better: We’re going to drill, baby, drill,’ because it ‘takes that burden off the shoulders of the economy and off the shoulders of inflation itself,” Trump stated.

Trump explained that if the cost of energy came down, the cost of shipping goods would decline and America could finally get its inflation crisis under control.

‘The first thing you have to do is get the energy down. If you get the energy down, other things will follow. We are going to drill at a level you haven’t seen since four or five years ago,’ Trump added. 

Trump told Ramsey America suffered the worst inflation since Jimmy Carter’s Presidency and that the American people were suffering.

“In terms of inflation, you’re right. And it’s almost inflation over the economy, if you want to really know because people are getting wiped out like never before,” Trump continued.

The former President said ending Kamala’s war on American energy production was step one to bringing inflation under control like it was in Trump’s first term. 

“I think it’s the highest inflation we’ve ever had. They say it’s the highest in 48 years. I think it’s the highest ever. The first thing you have to do is get the energy [costs] down,” Trump exclaimed.

Trump also told Ramsey how he planned to spur American manufacturing job growth.

The key to Trump’s plan was a proposal to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% for companies that produce their products in America while slapping companies that outsource production with a tariff.

‘You have to manufacture your product here, and then you pay 15% [in corporate taxes], and then I’m going to put tariffs on countries so they can’t come in and steal our business, so that our businesses now can be competitive,’ Trump remarked.

Ramsey walked away more than impressed by Trump’s detailed knowledge of his policies as well as the underlying facts of the economy.

 Trump – Ramsey recounted – was “direct and very knowledgeable about tax rates and about the things that move in the energy world and how that does intersect the economy, and how to control a commodity market as best you can from the presidential seat.”

Ramsey also told Fox News that Trump’s plan to spur energy production especially pleased him.

‘You can encourage, ‘drill, baby, drill.’ You can encourage opening the Keystone Pipeline, and if you flood any commodity market with that commodity, we all know it’s supply-demand that drives the price down,’ Ramsey concluded.
