Speakers emphasize that big blue cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are the most unaffordable, contributing to the frustration of many Americans who feel increasingly priced out of opportunity.

There’s also an acknowledgment that other countries employed tariffs historically as a primary revenue and protection tool. The discussion suggests that a return to that approach could be politically feasible if the economic conditions align.
