On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down Donald Trump's tone-deaf plan to renovate the White House and build himself a new ballroom while everyday Americans struggle under rising inflation—driven in large part by Trump's reckless tariffs. We expose the chaos inside Trump's economic team, as his Commerce Secretary claims no more tariff delays… right before Trump issues more delays. We also dive into new revelations about Trump's disturbing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, his latest unhinged posts attacking political opponents, updates from the Federal Reserve, and the worsening humanitarian crises in Ukraine and Gaza.

You know how we know that Trump and his Administration don't believe that their Tariffs are legal? The Commerce Secretary's former company, “owned” by his sons, is offering to buy 100s of millions of tariff payment claims betting heavily that Trump's Tariffs, promoted by their daddy, will be ruled illegal and unconstitutional in the courts.

This week on Face the Nation, the clock ticks as tariff deadlines loom. The Trump administration promised 90 deals in 90 days, but that didn't happen and if the goalposts move again, will Americans face a summer price hike as steep tariffs kick in?

Plus, we take a look at the unfolding battle over interest rates with Democratic Congressman Jim Himes, who sits on the House Financial Services Committee. Then, as ICE ramps up deportation efforts, we sit down with Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons to discuss the latest at the agency and the criticisms of its enforcement policies. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also weighs in and discusses the impact of those ICE arrests in her city.

The hottest properties in the Democratic Party at the moment are self-described democratic socialists. Zohran Mamdani won the party's nomination for New York City mayor last month while Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders (who's not even a Democrat) are in the forefront of the party's campaigning against President Donald Trump. The trend alarms the party's leadership and mainstream establishment, who see it as a quick route to electoral oblivion. Can the next wave of Democratic candidates for local and national elections appeal to the middle, or is the distaste for President Trump making the party hostage to its more radical elements? On this episode of Free Expression, former Commerce Secretary and White House Chief of Staff William Daley tells Gerry Baker about his concerns for the direction of the Democratic party, what it can learn from the mistake from the Tea Party movement of the GOP, and who he thinks are the party's most electable candidates for president.

In 2019, President Trump tweeted: "I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies." Today, the Trumps are all over crypto.There are memecoins for Trump and the first lady. They own a stablecoin, a bitcoin mining operation, and a crypto financial services company. And, at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Trump's media group announced they're raising 2.5 billion dollars from investors to buy bitcoin.At that same conference, speakers included two White House advisors, two sons of the US president, the son of the U.S. Commerce Secretary, and a Trump appointee to the Securities and Exchange Commission. For a cryptocurrency built on independence from big government, this was a swerve.So, what happens when the President of the United States showers his love on the crypto community ... while also becoming a crypto entrepreneur himself? We follow along as Trump Inc.'s Ilya Marritz and Andrea Bernstein spend three days at the Las Vegas conference center where convicts are cheered, oversight and regulation are booed, and the separation of crypto and state no longer applies.Find more Planet Money: Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.Listen free at these links: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Help support Planet Money and hear our bonus episodes by subscribing to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Donald Trump just walked back key tariffs on Chinese electronics — but his Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, is still out on a full-throated pro-tariff tour, as if nothing happened. To make sense of Trump's strategy (or improvisation), Mike turns to Yale Business School professor Barry Nalebuff, who finds the approach confusing because it doesn't align with what appear to be Trump's actual goals. Meanwhile, in the Spiel, the British are squawking about a different kind of chicken — the chlorinated kind — with tabloids clucking and trade talks at risk of being deep-fried.
