The Rhode Island Recession is Real #InTheDugout – October 15, 2025

On this Wuhan Wednesday, Mike Stenhouse exposes “The Magnificent Scam” — Rhode Island’s ruling class says “all is well” but economist Dr. Len Lardaro joins Mike Stenhouse to reveal the truth: The Ocean State is in recession.

Mike Stenhouse dives straight into the hard truths about Rhode Island’s economy and exposes another major myth pushed by the Left. Everyone knows this: endless taxing, spending, and regulation come with real-world consequences.

Joining the show is one of the state’s top economic minds, Dr. Len Lardaro, URI Professor of Economics and creator of the Current Conditions Index (CCI). Lardaro explains why he believes Rhode Island has officially slipped into a recession, despite the happy talk from the state’s ruling class.

Together, Sten and Professor Lardaro unpack how Rhode Island’s anti-business, anti-family policies, sky-high energy prices, and regulatory red tape have crippled economic growth while comparing how other states are doing it right.

Tune in as another myth from the Left gets destroyed… right here in the Ocean State.
