About this episode
Scott and Ed discuss Trump’s move to double tariffs on steel and aluminum, the administration’s decision to enlist Palantir to streamline federal data sharing, and Meta’s plan to launch AI-powered ad creation tools. Then, Robert Armstrong, U.S. financial commentator for the Financial Times, returns to the show to share how he coined the term “TACO trade,” what he makes of its viral moment, and the potential ripple effects it could have. He also highlights an overlooked element of the “big beautiful bill” and discusses whether we can grow our way out of the deficit.
