Summary

President Trump’s tariffs will lower deficits by an estimated $4 trillion, per a Congressional Budget Office projection released last Friday. While consumer confidence has dipped, the President has assured that the nation’s economic tide is turning, as companies both foreign and domestic expand inside the U.S. Former member of the National Security Council during Trump’s first term and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council Alexander Gray joins to explain the benefits of the Trump administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs as well as weighing in on President Trump’s push to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Juvenile crime has become a growing concern across the country, with communities struggling to strike a balance between accountability and rehabilitation. From curfews to new ordinances, officials are looking for methods to rein in disruptive and sometimes violent criminal behavior and get kids back on track. University of Miami sociology professor and former director at the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, Alex Piquero, joins the Rundown to break down the trends and if juvenile crime really is on the rise in America. Plus, commentary from Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee Youth Council, CJ Pearson. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
