Jessica Riedl: The Last Fiscal Conservative

Listen to this episode from To The Contrary with Charlie Sykes on Spotify. Charlie Sykes welcomes Jessica Riedl of the Manhattan Institute for a conversation on the state of the U.S. economy under Trump 2.0. They cover everything from fantasy math in drug pricing claims to the White House’s assault on economic data, growing authoritarian tendencies, and the chaos of tariff policy. Plus, they dig into the gerrymandering arms race—and whether defending democracy now means playing just as dirty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
