4. Question for Brian Cheung: Will we really feel the impact of the tariffs?
Cheung: Yes, but it’s a matter of “when.” We’re not seeing massive price spikes in the data now, but the way that tariffs work, when companies have to pay 10% or 20% or 145% more to bring in items from abroad, they either have to pay it out of their profits or pass it onto consumers in the form of a higher price tag. It’s a fascinating story exploring corporate America’s willingness to absorb the shock coming from Washington, a story we’ll continue to chase on the podcast.
5. Question for Yasmin Vossoughian: What was it like reporting from the West Bank and Israel?
Vossoughian: When it comes to international conflicts steeped in history, there is no other way to report on them than from the region. Reporting from Israel and Gaza for me always reminds me why I do what I do: to give voice to the voiceless, tell stories that would have never otherwise been told to an American audience, and tell stories that make a real difference in the way people see the world. That inspires me and makes me want to do more.
