Bush administration, about the challenge against President Trump’s sweeping tariffs in the Supreme Court this week, and what may happen if the Court rules the tariffs unlawful.Then, New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin, author of the new book “1929", sits down with Fareed to discuss what preceded the Great Depression—and if we are headed for a similar stock market crash.Finally, CNN anchor Bianna Golodryga and Israeli journalist Yonit Levi join the show for a conversation about their new novel for young readers, “Don’t Feed the Lion” and how to address the rise of antisemitism in the US and around the world.GUESTS: Noah Feldman (@NoahRFeldman); John Yoo; Andrew Ross Sorkin (@andrewrsorkin); Bianna Golodryga (@biannagolodryga); Yonit Levi (@LeviYonit) Learn more about your ad choices.
