Ambitious Crossover Attempt

Episode 152 - There's A New Tariff In Town


Listen Later

Jen and Noam cannot fit all of the events of this past week into one episode so we decide to focus on the upcoming slate of tariffs and the horrible American Airlines / Blackhawk collision. We discuss what tariffs may or may not mean for you and your grocery bill and try to figure out what exactly the tariffs are supposed to accomplish in the first place. Is Trump trying to stem the stream of fentanyl into the US? Bring manufacturing back to the states? Address trade imbalance? Replace the income tax? We don't know.

After that, we move on to the accidental collision of an Army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet in DC and what is to blame. We do agree that it wasn't DEI that caused the accident, despite what the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and random morons on social media say. Also discussed is the knee jerk reaction of blaming Trump despite him only being in office two weeks and the issues with the FAA going back decades.

We do manage to touch on some of the other horrible awful no good that happened this past week, like the purge of government workers that Trump doesn't like and Elon now literally having the keys to the Treasury. It was a bad week, and it was only week two.

Noam decides to add a new segment to the end of the show because he wanted to talk about the latest Sanderson novel to you. He does not, however, give a Slay The Spire update.

We will be back on Twitch this week, discussing all of the TV we've been watching over the past few weeks. Click below to subscribe!
