Michael Kosta: 我认为特朗普最喜欢的权力是征收关税的权力，他认为关税是快速、有效且公平的。然而，他对加拿大和墨西哥征收关税导致股市暴跌，消费者信心下降，裁员人数增加，甚至引发了经济衰退的讨论。特朗普最初坚称关税是快速致富的方式，但现在看来并非如此，共和党人开始为其辩护，称这是“过程的一部分”。尽管关税可能导致更高的价格，但特朗普坚持他的关税政策，认为这是值得的。他突然推迟了对墨西哥和加拿大的关税，使得关税政策变得不确定。中国对美国关税战态度强硬，表示如果美国想要战争，中国将战斗到底。特朗普与中国展开贸易战可能会导致灾难性的经济萧条或核战争。 Josh Johnson: 我认为特朗普的关税政策是必要的，尽管可能导致更高的价格，但这是为了重振美国制造业，我们不会退缩。关税政策的反复不定，一会儿开征，一会儿取消，一会儿又开征，这使得企业难以做出决策。

Desi Lydic heads to Michigan to get to the bottom of the state's "buy back" initiative that turned out to be refurbishing guns instead of destroying them.

Bestselling author and culinary expert Antoni Porowski talks to Michael Kosta about hosting his new National Geographic show, “No Taste Like Home,” which uses a dish significant to each guest as an entry point to a journey through their family and ancestral history. They discuss the extensive research process that goes into the show, some of the most emotional moments of the season, and why food is so important to Porowski and how he connects with his own family.
