In this jam-packed episode, Chris and Sean tackle the hot-button issues shaping America’s future — tariffs, trade, housing, and immigration.
Sean kicks things off with a hopeful reflection on his guest lecture at USC, where he spoke to political communication students about the next generation of leaders. Chris follows up with another sharp critique of Tucson’s ongoing policy failures.
The duo breaks down Arizona’s SB 1229 — a legislative push backed by Sen. Shawna Bolick and Americans for Prosperity — and why it could be a game-changer.
Then it’s all about deals and disruption: What’s Trump’s true endgame with tariffs? Are we heading toward a “zero-for-zero” free market dream? Sean also dissects a New York Times piece showing how immigration policies and tariffs are driving up the cost of housing — even on his own street.
It’s fast-paced, thought-provoking, and not to be missed.
