Just Another Orange Monday

This episode explores the multifaceted impacts of President Trump's newly implemented tariffs, examining their economic consequences and broader political ramifications. Against the backdrop of plummeting stock markets and recessionary warnings from major financial institutions, the hosts discuss the lack of a clear strategy behind the tariffs, highlighting their detrimental effects on various sectors, including auto parts suppliers in Michigan. More significantly, the discussion delves into the ethical and legal concerns surrounding the Trump administration's deportation practices, particularly the case of Kilmar Obrego-Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. For instance, the hosts cite a 60 Minutes report revealing that 75% of Venezuelan men imprisoned in El Salvador under this policy had no criminal records. As the discussion pivots to the public response, the hosts note the emergence of widespread protests across the US and the increased vocal opposition from prominent figures like Elon Musk and Bill Ackman. In contrast, the hosts also analyze the responses from Trump's supporters, who remain largely unfazed by the economic turmoil. Ultimately, the episode underscores the far-reaching implications of Trump's policies, raising questions about the future of American economic stability and the rule of law.
