TCE podcast episode #251

Today’s show topics included:
Incredible stock surge immediately after Trump suspended tariffs; are tariffs Trump’s core policy or just a negotiating tactic? Can American manufacturing of necessary items (pharmaceuticals? steel?) be protected/guaranteed without tariffs? Is the stock market volatility due to automated trading by bots and not by humans? How to fix the pharmaceutical pricing system? Did RFK Jr cave on the measles vaccine? If Trump won’t counter the judiciary, what will result? Should he be making the case against the judiciary in a stronger way? Likewise with judges forcing Trump to hire certain law firms; do SCOTUS justices have supervisory authority over lower court judges? Is there a way congress could draft a law precluding district courts from enjoining a cabinet secretary? Will Trump and the West do something about Turkey working at cross purposes? “Liberty is not a welfare program”—Ed M.
