Description

A fast-paced Friday briefing that jumps from Washington’s surprising budget numbers to the geopolitics of a risky hostage swap. Tara breaks down the Treasury’s eye-popping September surplus and why tariffs and economic growth matter — then pivots to an urgent critique of the deal that released thousands of jailed Hamas fighters in exchange for a handful of hostages. Mixing history (the founders’ view on tariffs), policy skepticism, and on-the-ground outrage, this episode asks: did we trade security for optics — and what happens next?

Money in the coffers, terror on the streets — when wins on paper collide with real-world risk.
