In this episode of "This Podcast is Not Real," our AI hosts unpack the unexpected ripple effects of Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on imported goods—and how they may hit closest to home: your mortgage.

We break it down:

• How tariffs could trigger higher borrowing costs

• The Federal Reserve’s dilemma: Cut rates or fight inflation?

• The impact of tariffs on imported building materials driving up construction costs

• What it all means for first-time buyers, builders, and investors

Whether you're buying, selling, or just praying for a rate drop—this episode is your early warning.
