Today's Take with Andrew O'Donnell | Market Meltdown, Tariffs, & the Truth About Wealth in America

In this episode of Today’s Take, Andrew O’Donnell unpacks the worst market crash since 2020, as the Dow plunges over 2,200 points and $6.4 trillion in value vanishes in just 48 hours. But that’s just the beginning—behind the selloff is a much deeper conversation about tariffs, inflation, wealth inequality, and whether America is heading for a massive correction.

From historical shifts like going off the gold standard, to the consequences of offshoring labor to China, this episode dives into the structural issues that have decimated the middle class and made it harder than ever for younger generations to build wealth. The panel questions whether tariffs could help fix the system—or if they’ll make it worse—and how figures like Elon Musk and Peter Navarro are clashing over the direction of U.S. trade policy.

We also explore:
• Why the cost of buying into the S&P 500 has skyrocketed compared to wages
• The long-term effects of quantitative easing and the wealth transfer to older generations
• Whether waiting to "buy the dip" is smart investing—or just analysis paralysis
• What a 50% correction could mean for the average person
• Why inflation, tariffs, and labor policy are now front and center in the economic debate
