Michigan expanded its state-funded pre-K program by 20,000 seats—but only 6,000 children enrolled. Why are parents opting out of free preschool programs like Head Start and the Great Start Readiness Program? In this episode, Chris Spangle talks with Susanna Barnes Pettit, a social mobility fellow with Young Voices, about parental choice, preschool funding, and why families still prefer community-based options like parochial or nature-based schools. Chris and Susanna also explore how universal pre-K fits into broader education debates, discuss their own childhood experiences, and reflect on what parents truly want in early childhood education.

April 2, 2025—dubbed “Liberation Day” by Donald Trump—new sweeping tariffs were announced, including a 10% baseline on all imports and steep country-specific increases. But is this protectionist move really the start of an American economic revival, or just a massive tax hike on American families?

Chris Spangle is joined by Aiden Grogan, a writer and Ph.D. student at Liberty University, to examine the economic consequences of tariffs, the myths of protectionism, and the real reasons manufacturing is returning to the U.S.

Disney’s Snow White Remake & Ubisoft’s New Game!

Are tariffs taxes in disguise? Matt Cookson, a policy fellow at Young Voices and contributor at the Mises Institute, explains the complicated truth behind tariffs. Learn why the U.S. Constitution originally placed tariff-setting power in the hands of Congress and how it ended up under presidential control during the Roosevelt administration. Cookson details how tariffs actually harm consumers, disrupt supply chains, and inject uncertainty into markets. Plus, we discuss the political realities that make Congress hesitant to reclaim its authority and what steps they could take—such as repealing the 1934 Reciprocal Tariffs Act—to restore constitutional balance.

Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are the host voices. Rusty and Ken Eckstein are our guests. They owned Mt Comfort RV in Hancock County, and recently sold the dealership to Camping World. Ken is active in the industry and recently worked to craft a bill with the Indiana General Assembly that will change how dealerships and manufacturers interact. Rusty shares the economic impact of the new federal tariffs on imported items that go into RVs, and how that affects the Indiana economy. More than 80% of RV’s are made in Indiana. Additionally, 10% of those campers are then exported to Canada, which is now enacting their own retaliatory tariffs on imported American products. Mt Comfort RV was also involved with the Indy 500, and we get some stories of their time “loaning campers” to drivers, and the special opportunities that created.
