Free Fall (Jared Bernstein)

Grounded with Jon Tester & Maritsa Georgiou

It's the economy, stupid!

Jon and Maritsa dig into what's happening with tariffs, Wall Street and your finances with former White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein, who also chaired the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers under President Joe Biden.

How did the Trump administration come up with this formula? Are we heading for a recession? What should we be doing right now? We ask all of these questions and more!

Since we recorded our conversation this morning, President Trump is threatening even more tariffs on China.

“If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated!”
