Tonight, we look at the real-world impact of tariffs—from policy to personal experience. After getting hit with a 145% tariff on a simple electric dirt bike order, Brian uses the story to highlight how quickly these economic shifts are starting to affect everyday consumers and small business owners. Is this a "chip shortage" part two?

The show explores the growing divide between political loyalty and practical financial understanding. Through listener calls and market commentary, Brian lays out how tariffs are changing buying behavior, why companies like Apple are in complicated positions with overseas manufacturing, and how investors can separate long-term opportunity from short-term noise.

There’s also a clear message for anyone sitting on the sidelines: if you’re still holding cash or stuck in low-growth products like annuities, it might be time to reevaluate. With market volatility tied to trade strategy, international positioning, and inflation policy, now may be a good time to rebalance and revisit your financial plan.
