Mo News - The Interview

EP 130: Recession Concerns, Tariffs, Inflation, and AI with NPR’s Roben Farzad


Listen Later

The first months of the second Trump administration have been filled with economic headlines: on-again/off-again tariffs, fluctuating markets, and the threat of a recession.


In this episode, we dive deep with Roben Farzad, host of NPR’s Full Disclosure podcast, on how we got here to this point over the last several decades. Roben explains how years of free trade and offshoring have led to rising stock markets and cheap luxury goods, while millions of Americans still feel the pinch of rising inflation and housing prices–issues that swept Trump into office in 2024. We also discuss the rise of China and whether Trump’s tariff plan is a realistic solution for solving these problems.


Plus, electric vehicles, the state of the media, and how AI will affect all of these areas going forward.
