Fox News contributor Liz Peek criticized the rumored Trump proposal for $2,000 stimulus checks, calling it a “terrible idea” that could worsen inflation and undermine debt reduction goals. She argued the U.S. economy is already growing at a healthy rate, even amid the government shutdown, and that new spending would only increase the nation’s $38 trillion debt. Peek suggested Trump may be trying to act before the Supreme Court intervenes, warning that such checks could give the Federal Reserve an excuse not to cut interest rates.
Later, Peek weighed in on a New York Times controversy after the paper changed a headline suggesting women had “ruined the workplace.” She argued that many liberal women in media and corporate settings pushed extreme “woke” HR standards during the MeToo era, creating an overcorrection in workplace culture. Peek said common sense should guide workplace dynamics, not ideology, and welcomed a return to balance. Other panelists disagreed, defending women’s contributions and calling the original article’s framing unfair.
