The Great American Trade War Continues
About this episode
The episode discusses the breakdown of trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada, the implications of Trump's tariffs, and the trial of Lindsay Clancy amid societal reactions.
Trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada broke down in the final hours of last Friday. This week, Trump’s 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods have gone into effect. Amid a rekindled trade war, the guys consider the president's and Congress’s role in shaping world history in light of electoral concerns before the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the alleged murder of her three children. The defense claims postpartum psychosis, but an alarming number of women are expressing misplaced "solidarity" with a woman accused of infanticide.
