Zero Distortion Ep. 2 – Tariffs: Who Pays, Why Now, and What It All Means
from Zero Distortion with Russ Bates · host batesruss3
In this episode of Zero Distortion, host Russ Bates breaks down the recent wave of tariff announcements—and reversals—from the Trump administration. With special guest John Ellis (Founder & CEO of Agile Auto, economist, and U.S. Marine veteran), we explore: 1) What Are Tariffs, and Who Pays for Them? (spoiler: it's not the exporting country) 2) What Is the Trump Administration Aiming to Achieve with These Tariffs? 3) If the Administration's Goals Are Met, Is the Outcome Beneficial? We recorded this episode just after the April 9th news that Trump paused most tariffs for 90 days, just days after announcing them on what he called "Liberation Day." Between the chaos, market losses, and global reaction, we take a step back and ask: does any of this make sense in 2025? 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share if you find this valuable.
