Meanwhile, they discuss Trump’s second-term ambitions, the potential for tax cuts, and how tariffs might serve as a bargaining tool rather than just an economic burden.The conversation rounds out with a look at Idaho’s federal land use, the inefficiencies of the federal government, and why small businesses often bear the brunt of overregulation.
