Part 2/10:
The conversation opened with the economic challenges facing the United States, touching on tariffs under President Biden and a critique of the government's response to economic issues. Bannon, a self-identified advocate for tariffs, expressed his desire to convert skeptics into supporters of these economic measures. He pointed out contradictions within the political framework, mentioning how Democrats did not vocally oppose Biden's tariff increases on aluminum and steel, a shift that underlined a growing acceptability of populist economic policies even within the Democratic Party.
