In this episode, Vic and Marcus focus on the sweeping economic impact of the new “Liberation Day” tariffs, including market reaction, healthcare supply chain disruptions, inflationary concerns, and implications for startups and venture capital. They discuss shrinking margins in healthcare, funding shifts in tech and AI, layoffs at major institutions like Vanderbilt and UnitedHealth, the Circle IPO in the crypto space, and how the AI therapy chatbot study may reshape mental health treatment. The episode concludes with commentary on cyber threats, stablecoins, and the rapid policy changes reshaping Washington and Wall Street.
