The Tariff Masterclass (Moment of Truth in Review)

In today's episode of Moment of Truth, get ready for a masterclass on trade, tariffs, and global currency movements from a variety of experts. Robert Lighthizer, Oren Cass, Joanna Wischer, Charles Benoit, Michael Stumo, and Marc Fasteau each provide a piece of the bigger picture to understanding why the status quo has failed the American people and why the new direction President Trump provides may be the breath of fresh air the world needs. The discussion critiques the flaws of globalization and neoliberal trade policies, emphasizing their detrimental impact on U.S. industries, and challenges free trade orthodoxy, urging policies that prioritize U.S. production and workers’ welfare. 00:00 - 01:21 - Introduction 01:22 - 05:35 - Reagan’s Protectionism 05:36 - 09:09 - Post-Reagan Free Trade Drift 09:10 - 13:44 - Globalization’s Failures 13:45 - 17:38 - NAFTA’s Consequences 17:39 - 24:56 - Currency Overvaluation 24:57 - 36:38 - USMCA Violations 36:39 - 42:04 - Policy Solutions 42:05 - 42:17 - Production Credits Follow American Moment across Social Media: X / Twitter – https://twitter.com/AmMomentOrg Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/AmMomentOrg Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/ammomentorg/ YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4qmB5DeiFxt53ZPZiW4Tcg Rumble – https://rumble.com/c/ammomentorg Check out AmCanon: https://www.americanmoment.org/amcanon/ Follow Us on Twitter: Saurabh Sharma – https://twitter.com/ssharmaUS Nick Solheim – https://twitter.com/NickSSolheim American Moment's "Moment of Truth" Podcast is recorded at the Conservative Partnership Campus in Washington DC, produced by American Moment Studios, and edited by Jake Mercier and Jared Cummings.
