Bridget sits down with Scott Lincicome, Vice President of General Economics and Trade at the Cato Institute, to unpack what Trump's tariffs have actually done to the American economy. They dig into why the apocalyptic predictions didn't pan out, who's really paying the price, and how small businesses got blindsided by customs bills they never saw coming. They discuss the history of US protectionism, the difference between stated and revealed preferences, the truth about "buying American," what modern conservatism actually looks like today, and why Americans actually love globalization even though they might not realize it.
