Summary

Michael Kosta on Trump doubling down then ditching Canada and Mexico tariffs, the GOP pretending the plunging stock market is normal, and the president pissing off China. Plus, Josh Johnson takes inspiration from Trump flip-flopping on tariffs.

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.
