Trump's "Liberation Day" Tariffs & Booke...

iHeartPodcasts and Paramount Podcasts
About this episode

Michael Kosta recaps surprising wins for the Democrats, including a victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race despite Elon Musk's financial interference, and a record-breaking 25-hour speech by Cory Booker. Plus, Trump launches his "Liberation Day" tariffs, and Republicans scramble to supply cover.

In the first installment of "Mysteries of Donald Trump's Very Very Large A-Brain" Trump explores the word "groceries," a concept he calls "old-fashioned." Then, Grace Kuhlenschmidt educates New York shoppers on the new Trump-era food store lingo.

Melissa Arnot Reid, the first American woman to summit and descend Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, talks to Michael Kosta about her new memoir, "Enough: Climbing Toward a True Self on Mount Everest.” She opens up about using high-level climbing as a sometimes unhealthy coping mechanism and why her journey to inner peace is a “forever climb.” She also discusses Juniper Fund, the non-profit she co-founded to support high-altitude workers in Nepal.
