Trump promised tariffs would make America strong. He didn’t just tinker with trade—he brought a sledgehammer to a scalpel’s job. Ten federal judges have already declared the biggest tariffs unlawful, and now the Supreme Court gets to decide whether to call it policy or vandalism. After months of whiplash—on again, off again—the pain is finally trickling down, landing squarely on families already gasping for air. This week, the gang talks about how tariffs are less an economic strategy and more a slow-motion robbery, and whether breaking the camel’s back is a bug…or a feature.
