Summary

President Trump on Tuesday announced a new plan to build a Golden Dome missile defense system. Displaying the design from the Oval Office with his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Space Force General Michael Guetlein, Trump asserted the new defense infrastructure--estimated to cost between $25 billion and $75 billion--will be a necessary layer of security for the homeland that he says “hopefully we never have to use.” U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) has been a longtime advocate for improving America’s missile defenses, on the Rundown she discusses this Golden Dome plan, ongoing diplomacy with Russia and Iran, and her efforts to fight EV mandates. Last Thursday, Walmart announced it would be raising its prices due to the impact of President Trump's tariffs. Americans initially wary of tariffs had cited this concern: that tariffs could bring about price hikes that would eventually hit their wallets. With back-to-school shopping along with the summer holidays and barbecues ahead, some businesses are preparing to adjust. Founder and CEO of Storch Advisors and former CEO of Toys "R" Us, Gerald Storch is a retail industry veteran. He joins the podcast to share the true impact of tariffs on America's retail industry. Plus, commentary from author and presidential historian, Craig Shirley. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
