Trump’s Tariffs: Market Reactions and Economic Implications
Natalie Morris opens the discussion by highlighting the stark polarization in media narratives surrounding Trump’s tariffs. Carol Roth remarks on the dual outrage from both conservative and liberal factions, leading to significant market instability.
"If you turn on Fox News Channel or any of the mainstream media, you're going to see people saying that these Trump tariffs are the greatest thing to ever hit America. And then if you flip on any of the media, local liberal media say the exact opposite. It's the worst thing that ever happened."

The conversation shifts to the immediate effects on financial markets. The U.S. dollar experienced a decline of over 2% against major currencies like the euro and the Japanese yen. Concurrently, gold prices surged to an all-time high of approximately $3,100 per ounce before experiencing a slight dip.
Glenn Greenwald provides an in-depth analysis of the tariffs’ broader economic context, emphasizing the lack of clear communication and the politicization of trade policies. He explains how the ambiguous application of tariffs creates uncertainty, adversely affecting consumer and business confidence.
"It's not a one-to-one reciprocity... It's based on some sort of calculation that is the trade deficit divided by the imports of the country... It makes it very difficult for businesses big and small alike to make decisions about investment."
– Glenn Greenwald [05:55]
Carol Roth echoes concerns about the long-term sustainability of these tariffs, questioning whether they are a strategic move or an overreach that could destabilize the economy further.
Geopolitical Ramifications: War Rhetoric and Deportations
The hosts and guests transition to the Trump administration's aggressive foreign policy stance, particularly towards Iran and its alliance with Israel. Glenn Greenwald discusses Israel’s support for Trump’s military strategies against Iran, raising alarms about the potential for escalating conflicts.
"Israel's perspective, with Trump in the White House, this represents the optimum moment to deal with Iran... they're now involved in a new Middle East war there."
– Glenn Greenwald [22:02]
Natalie Morris draws parallels to past administrations, noting Trump’s contradictory actions regarding international conflicts and alliances.
Additionally, the topic of deportations based on ideologies surfaces, with Glenn Greenwald criticizing the administration’s approach to handling dissenting ideologies, arguing that it undermines due process and constitutional rights.
Colorado’s Misgender Law: Implications for Families and Businesses
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Colorado’s controversial misgender law. Natalie Morris introduces the topic, highlighting its potential to disrupt families and impose discriminatory practices.
An exclusive interview with Representative Jarvis Caldwell, a GOP member from Colorado’s 20th House District, provides firsthand insights into the bill's ramifications.
"This bill has nine different sections... it's saying you're abusing your child by not affirming their gender, which is child abuse."
– Representative Jarvis Caldwell [52:01]
Key points discussed include:
-
Custody Implications: The bill prioritizes parents who affirm their child’s gender in custody disputes, potentially leading to family separations.
-
Educational Impact: It restricts schools from enforcing gender-based dress codes, compelling institutions to adopt non-gendered clothing policies.
-
Legal Conflicts: Colorado’s refusal to recognize court rulings from other states concerning gender-affirming care violates the U.S. Constitution’s Full Faith and Credit Clause.
-
Business Liabilities: Misgendering customers in public accommodations could result in civil liabilities for businesses, echoing previous free speech conflicts like the Jack Phillips case.
"Colorado has a $1.2 billion budget deficit... they probably intend to push it through regardless."
– Representative Jarvis Caldwell [58:21]
Representative Caldwell expresses skepticism about Governor Jared Polis’s likely support for the bill, given Polis’s presidential aspirations and the contentious nature of the legislation.
Blue Origin’s All-Female Crew: A Symbolic Gesture or Genuine Representation?
The hosts critique Blue Origin’s announcement of an all-female crew for an upcoming spaceflight, questioning the authenticity of their roles and the underlying motives.
Carol Roth deconstructs the notion of the “crew,” highlighting that the flight is fully autonomous and the women participants are essentially passengers without operational responsibilities.
"They are billing themselves as the crew of this aircraft... They are passengers. All six of these ladies were chosen by Lauren Sanchez because of their 'proven ability to inspire others.' This is a fake feminist dribble."
– Carol Roth [38:29]
The segment underscores the commercialization of feminism, suggesting that the initiative prioritizes image over substance, as participants lack the necessary training or control over the spacecraft.
Epstein Accusations: Credibility and Media Response
A controversial discussion unfolds around Virginia Giuffre’s recent claims of a severe car accident, juxtaposed against police reports of a minor incident. Lionel from The Lionel Nation YouTube channel and Carol Roth analyze the inconsistencies and the media’s apparent indifference.
"The mainstream media is not interested in whether she lives or dies, just like they were not interested in the details of Epstein killing himself."
– Carol Roth [67:05]
Lionel questions Giuffre’s credibility, pointing out the lack of media scrutiny and the bizarre nature of her public statements juxtaposed with official reports.
"She says she's dying... Medical staff later indicated that she's not in a life-threatening situation and she's expected to recover."
– Natalie Morris [49:40]
The discussion extends to the broader implications for high-profile legal cases, highlighting potential biases and the challenges in prosecuting influential individuals.
Conclusion
The episode concludes with hosts Clayton and Natalie Morris reiterating the critical issues discussed, emphasizing the need for informed discourse and vigilance against propaganda. They also promote upcoming segments, including further discussions on deportations, due process, and legislative developments.
