Summary

It's Newsday Tuesday. Up top, Sam and Emma take in the White House's angry response to the news that Amazon had started to display the cost of tariffs on it's orders on one of its websites, before Amazon quickly back-peddled and apologized.

Sam and Emma then talk to the former head of the CFPB and the FTC Rohit Chopra on the Trump administration taking a sledgehammer to regulations and consumer protections.

After that, Canadian writer and podcaster Luke Savage breaks down the results of Canada's elections and what it means for the future of Canada-U.S. relations.

In the Fun Half, Emma and Sam check in on Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney in Washington, DC Ed Martin and his efforts to distance himself from his right wing media appearances, including his repeated praise of a January 6th rioter and apparent Nazi sympathizer. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer says he's sent a strongly worded letter to the Trump administration over their crackdown on academia, but also goes out of his way to denounce what he said were antisemitic incidents on college campuses. Andrew Callaghan tries to talk some sense into Patrick Bet-David regarding the relationship between homelessness, social welfare programs and taxation, to no avail.
