Tariffs, Politics, and Public Opinion

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and National Review columnist Heather Wilhelm discuss the battle between Harvard University and Donald Trump, and the results of the new Harvard Youth Poll, which tracks attitudes of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29. They also talk about a new lawsuit that claims Trump has superseded presidential authority on tariffs, and media reports that Trump has backed down on the trade war with China. Next, Andrew Walworth talks to Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media about the strategy behind America’s fourth most watched cable news network, how digital media is reshaping the television business, and whether the Voice of America should be shut down. And winding it up, Carl Cannon talks to RCP editors Cathi Warren and Anne Welty about the “Bell to Bell, No Cell” Act, which bans smartphones in Arkansas’ public schools, and the nationwide push to restrict cellphone usage in classrooms.
