Recorded live in Hollywood, Jarlath and Marion sit down to discuss the week’s news from America and the future of the AOC/Bernie Sanders partnership.

This week on Irishman In America Marion McKeone talks all things tariffs. With the unveiling of Trump‘s tariff bonanza, Wall Street has come tumbling down by upwards of 3 trillion dollars. Have Republicans hit the panic button in secret? Is a Republican Civil War just around the corner? Marion McKeone reports from Washington about the impact , of Donald’s tariff tornado on the mood of American consumers and industry top dogs. Rumours swirled this week that Elon Musk was to step down from his DOGE position. Jarlath asks Marion if the choice to step away has anything to do with the backlash against him around the country. Marion hunts for some positivity missed the bleakness and asks the question if to understand these tariffs America needs to hire a therapist rather than an economist.

It has happened to us all. The person whose birthday party you’re organising is in the Whatsapp group you created to organise it. But when the group chat discloses the most sensitive national security information about an up-coming bombing in Yemen, well that’s a bit different.
