Hearing on Trump’s Tariffs

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12

PROGRAM #10956 12:00 PM PT 

Hearing on Trump’s Tariffs. 

The Supreme Court questioned President Trump’s authority to use emergency powers to impose tariffs on nearly all of the country’s trading partners, casting doubt on a central pillar of his economic agenda. A ruling is expected in the coming weeks and could have significant implications for businesses, consumers, and U.S. trade policy. What happened during the hearing, and what has this trade war meant for the United States? What arguments were presented? What possible outcomes could the Court’s decision lead to?

Guest: Dr. Mónica García-Pérez, Distinguished Professor of Economics, Broadwell College of Business and Economics, Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, NC.

The Economy: How Bad Is It? Voters identified the economy as their top concern in Tuesday’s elections. One year after Trump’s return to the White House, inflation remains high, job growth has slowed, and the federal shutdown is deepening uncertainty. What are inflation and widespread layoffs costing businesses, workers, and consumers? What is the actual state of the economy right now? What are economists warning, and what priorities are emerging for the year ahead?

Guest: Sulma Arias, Executive Director, People’s Action Institute and People’s Action, Kansas City, MO.

The Dodgers at the White House? A coalition of immigrant and community leaders in Los Angeles is urging the Dodgers to reject President Trump’s invitation to visit the White House following their World Series victory. They argue that the same administration celebrating the team is also conducting immigration raids that are devastating the families of their fans. For many Latino communities, the Dodgers symbolize roots, belonging, and collective pride. What would an official photo with Trump represent? What message would it send to those currently facing deportation and fear?

Guest: Manuel Vicente, Director, Radio Jornalera and member, National Day Laborer Organizing Network-NDLON, Pasadena, CA.
