A Tariff Tally & Blackstone’s Former President Tony James 2/27/25

President Trump has said tariffs on Mexico and Canada will begin next week. Eamon Javers reports from Washington on the tariff messaging from The White House. Once COO and President of Blackstone and now Chairman of Costco Tony James shares his perspective on the US economy, business strength, and consumer confidence. James considers American business to be slowing down, thanks to uncertainty from the administration. In the face of DEI rollbacks across corporate America, Costco remains consistent in their commitment to equity. Plus, Nvidia topped analyst estimates, for the first time in a decade, a child in the US has died from the measles, and Elon Musk’s efforts in the US government could affect his businesses.  Eamon Javers - 16:39Tony James - 27:10 In this episode:Eamon Javers, @EamonJaversJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
