In Trump’s America, Favoritism Reigns and Main Street Pays with Stephanie Ruhle

In Trump’s America, Favoritism Reigns and Main Street Pays with Stephanie Ruhle

The Home Front · 2025-05-08

Host Reed Galen is joined by Stephanie Ruhle, host of MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle” and NBC News Senior Business Analyst. They discuss the economic chaos unleashed by Trump’s tariffs — including how they hit small businesses the hardest — and why the administration’s lies about who’s really paying are more dangerous than ever. They also dig into the rise of crypto-fueled corruption, political pay-to-play schemes, and how fear is silencing the very business owners who should be sounding the alarm.
