Well, we have a LOT to talk about regarding the economy. The tariffs have finally arrived, and with them a decline in stock prices -- to put it mildly. But other prices are dropping, too -- including interest rates and gas prices.
What does this all mean?
We'll also explore the implications for foreign policy, especially regarding China, with the TikTok deadline pushed off by 75 days, and Russia and Ukraine getting nowhere nearer to a deal.
And we'll talk about where Trump is heading next, with our own White House correspondent, who has unparalleled access to the Oval Office and all of the information you could possibly hope to have about the week ahead.
Special guests:
John Carney -- Breitbart News financial editor, on tariffs and markets
John Hayward -- Breitbart News foreign correspondent, on world affairs
Nick Gilbertson -- Breitbart News White House correspondent, on Trump

This week’s portion tells the grand story of the prophet who tried to curse people of Israel and instead ended up blessing them.
I am reminded that these portions continue to be relevant anew, as this particular reading lent the title for Israel’s recent 12 Day War against Iran, “Operation Rising Lion.”
This week's portion includes the commandment of the red heifer -- one of the classic "irrational" commandments whose fulfillment is an expression of faith. It also includes the regrettable episode in which Moses strikes the rock.
I referred to this story in a wedding speech last night. Why was Moses punished for striking the rock in Numbers, when he struck the rock without incident in Exodus -- both for the purpose of providing water to the people?
The answer is that in the interim, the Jewish people had received the Torah, which is like the marriage contract between the people of Israel and God. In a marriage, you do not resolve things by breaking boundaries, but through love.
The additional reading, from Judges Chapter 11, is the story of Jephthah (Yiftach), a man whom the leaders spurn, but to whom they must turn to save the nation. The parallels to our present political circumstances are striking.
Shabbat Shalom and Happy Fourth of July!
