In this episode, Matt dives into the tangled mess of Trump's tariff policies and the far-reaching economic consequences they've triggered. With his usual firebrand style, Matt unpacks the absurd logic behind the tariffs, exposing how they’re not only poorly calculated but economically destructive—hurting consumers, scaring investors, and putting America’s financial reputation on the chopping block. He breaks down the real reason Trump folded on his tariff threats—the bond market's ominous signals—and explains in plain language how rising interest rates are a flashing red warning light for recession.
But this episode isn’t just economic doomscrolling. In the “Three Good Things” segment, Matt lifts spirits with stories of resistance, resilience, and one heroic rat named Ronan who’s saving lives in Cambodia. From a stirring anti-Trump protest to a unanimous Supreme Court decision pushing back on unlawful detentions, Matt reminds us that the fight isn’t over—and that hope, humor, and a little righteous rage still have a seat at the table.
