Wall Street is clearly worried about tariffs and the harm they can do to the economy. On my weekly appearance on the YouTube video podcast Halitics, I make the case that the market is in near recession territory with worries about President Trump’s insistence on ever-changing tariffs. Host Hal Ginsberg doesn’t like Trump’s policies overall, though he recognizes the possible benefits of tariffs. Both of us would like to see the Democratic Party pushing back harder. We also talk about the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil just for leading non-violent pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University, which seems like a protected free-speech right. Trump has vowed to prosecute student protesters for expressing anti-Israel sentiment, another of the many assaults on our Constitutional rights.
