On the show this week, Donald Trump lays out his "liberation day" tariff plan to put tariffs on pretty much everything coming into the US. Grant breaks down why these tariffs have sent the economy into a nose dive, why they mean the US is shrinking from the world, and whether Trump is doing it on purpose. 

Plus! The US is shrinking from global public health too. The CDC, FDA, NIH, and pretty much every agency under the newly renamed HHS now AHA (Administration for a Healthy America) saw massive staffing cuts and lay-offs. Grant talks with University of Michigan School of Public Health Dr. Scott Greer about what it means for America to no longer lead the medical world and what it means for health worldwide.
