Why is Big Business Caving to Trump? (with Andrew Ross Sorkin)

Why have CEOs been so eager to bend the knee? How are tariffs
actually affecting the economy? Is the next major financial
crisis already underway? New York Times financial columnist
Andrew Ross Sorkin stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about
our weird economy under Trump 2.0. They discuss big business's
refusal to stand up to Trump, the prospect of a crypto-crash big
enough to tank the U.S. economy, and why this moment is eerily
similar to the stock market crash that kicked off the Great
Depression, which Sorkin writes about in his new book 1929:
Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History and How It
Shattered a Nation.
