China Strikes Back at Tariffs by Roasting JD Vance & Selling Out Luxury Retailers | Sen. Tammy Duckworth
Manage episode 477510987 series 1950592
Ronny Chieng breaks down how JD Vance's comments calling Chinese people "peasants" have escalated both the shade war and the trade war with China, impacting American industries from automakers to Hollywood. Plus, Troy Iwata chimes in on the one thriving business of the trade war: TikTok luxury knockoffs.
Michael Kosta checks in with Canadians to see how they feel about Donald Trump's aims to make them America's 51st state, including one ex-pat who immigrated to Canada when Trump first became president and a gun-loving member of Canada's silent MAGA minority.
Iraq War veteran and Democratic Senator from Illinois Tammy Duckworth sits down to discuss the work she is doing in Congress to improve care for veterans and how the Trump administration is setting back that progress by taking jobs away from thousands of veterans and making DOGE cuts to life-saving Veterans’ Affairs programs. They also discuss Trump’s broken promises to the veterans who voted for him, how DEI benefits the military, and why confirming someone as unqualified as Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense contradicts the right’s alleged “meritocracy.”
