I hope you all had a blessed Easter weekend, celebrating with family and friends. I have 2 special guests on today's show that give us expert insight into the economy, global trade, tariffs and U.S. manufacturing. First I talk to Kevin Hassett, the Director of the National Economic Council, to walk us through recent developments within the Trump administration. As country after country lined-up to make a deal with President Trump, the president put a pause on all tariffs except China. President Trump has now raised the tariffs to 145% in relation to China. Essentially isolating China with the most extreme tariffs set the stage for other countries to decide how they wanted to respond. Hassett says 15 countries or more will come away with a good deal in the coming days and weeks. Hassett walks us down Main St. for American consumers and small business owner as to what they can expect to pay for goods. With 2 outstanding jobs reports and a reduction in inflation, the only question yet to be answered is will China come to the table? After that, Mick Mulvaney, the former Director of the Office of Management and Budget as well as the former White House Chief of Staff gives us his insight into global trade and the budget. Are the tariffs more effective as a negotiating tool or a real source of income for the United States? Can domestic industries that have been squandered be brought back to life? The Senate only cut $4 Billion in spending, showing they aren't interested in saving money as the GOP is making a push to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent. Stick around to the end for a tour of the White House press briefing room!
