Episode Description

The world woke up to a very different economy today. Then, President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on some of his tariffs. The news was announced as the official in charge of U.S. trade policy was testifying on Capitol Hill. We’ll break down the trade official’s tense exchange with lawmakers and the real consequences of this week’s market madness. Plus, we’ll laugh so we don’t cry about the economy.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

"U.S. Trade Rep. Testifies on Pres. Trump's Trade & Tariff Agenda" from CSPAN
"Live updates: Trump orders 90-day pause on new tariffs except for China" from CNN
Bluesky post from Jeva Lange
