In this feisty episode, hosts Katie Zakrzewski and Zach Torpy dive deep into the turbulent waters of tariffs, trade, and environmental politics in North America. They break down former President Trump's tariff roller coaster with Mexico and Canada, exploring the economic and environmental ripple effects of these on-again, off-again trade barriers.
Highlights include a profile of Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first female and Jewish president, whose environmental and economic policies represent a significant departure from her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. From expanding renewable energy to improving mass transit and rail infrastructure, Sheinbaum’s bold commitments could reshape Mexico’s role in North America.
Katie and Zach also critically assess Trump's approach to tariffs, immigration, and international relations, questioning the sustainability and rationale behind recent trade policies.
Episode Highlights:
-
Analysis of Trump's trade policies and their chaotic implications.
-
Claudia Sheinbaum’s groundbreaking presidency and environmental ambitions.
-
Economic realities of U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade interdependencies.
-
Environmental impacts of shifting supply chains due to tariffs.

Action Steps (Katie’s libertarian endorsement):
“File your taxes or don't—clearly, it doesn’t matter anymore. Steal street signs; you've already paid for them anyway!”
