Listen Later

Today, it’s all YOU! We’re diving into the mailbag to play your voicemails, read your comments, and answer your questions after a wild week of tariff insanity. We’ll hear from YOU on how you’ve been riding the economic uncertainty. Plus, is Trump’s tariff pause, really a pause? And a listener shares what it’s been like teaching elementary students about tariffs.


Here’s everything we talked about today:


  • “US-China Trade War Tariffs: An Up-to-Date Chart” from the Peterson Institute for International Economics
  • “The Fiscal and Economic Effects of the Revised April 9 Tariffs” from The Budget Lab at Yale
  • Million Bazillion by Marketplace


Join us tomorrow for “Economics on Tap.” The YouTube livestream starts at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time, 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
