Breitbart News is set to host a high-level policy briefing on Wednesday, July 30 in Washington, DC, featuring Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Matthew Boyle, Breitbart’s Washington Bureau Chief. Kicking off at 9:30 a.m. ET, the gathering—co‑hosted by CGCN and the ALFA Institute—welcomes senior economic voices including John Carney, Breitbart’s Economic Editor, interviewing Treasury counselor Joe Lavorgna.
This event comes on the heels of Republicans delivering on President Trump’s America First economic agenda, now embedded in the “big, beautiful bill.” Recent fiscal indicators show the economy accelerating: tariff revenues surged, producing a surplus for June, while wage gains continue in manufacturing and blue-collar sectors. With law now codifying tax relief—including no taxes on tips or overtime—and enhanced border security funding, economic momentum appears poised to accelerate.
Matthew Boyle called Secretary Bessent “critical in implementing the president’s agenda,” citing his role in global trade negotiations, peace deals, and legislative strategy. As Sam Geduldig of CGCN observed, few Treasury leaders combine such gravitas with clarity. Matt Sparks of the ALFA Institute echoed that Bessent is the policy leader America needs to drive industrial resurgence. Workability and discipline remain central to conservative values—and Bessent delivers both.
Attendees will hear directly how Treasury leadership plans to execute the One Big Beautiful Bill’s components: trade, tax, regulation, and fiscal discipline. These discussions are vital as private-sector decision-makers and civic leaders align strategies with shifting economic terrain. In short: this event provides rare insight into “what’s next.”
This marks Breitbart’s fourth policy event with cabinet-level voices. Previous sessions with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright helped set the tone for serious, solutions-driven conservative leadership. Notably, Bessent publicly acknowledged that “Breitbart News is my number one source every morning.” That underscores the outlet’s reach—and the event’s relevance.
For those tracking the future of American policymaking, this event delivers real insight into the fiscal direction of a second Trump term. It underscores a conservative message at its core: fiscal responsibility, pro-growth policy, and American strength. Tune in if you want to see how policy becomes progress.
