In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show, Mark and the crew recap their weekends, the Blues making history, the Cardinals embarrassing weekend in Boston, and the incredible Final Four games. Mark then discusses the stock markets and their brief rise before dropping again. In this segment, Mark is joined by Charles Lipson, a professor emeritus at the University of Chicago that also writes regularly for The Spectator magazine, Real Clear Politics, and more. They discuss his takes on Trump's tariffs, how the stock market is reacting, and what the near future could look like for the economy.
