Once you watch this, you'll understand tariffs and Trump's plan to help average Americans economically.
I watched the 3 hrs of interviews that All In Podcast did with Trump's cabinet, took highlights, and translated from Billionaire to plain English.
May it bring you clarity and calm amidst the chaos.
Thank you to @chamath@friedberg@howardlutnick@SecScottBessent@theallinpod for taking the time to do these interviews.
It's critical for Americans to understand what the plan is, from the planners.
Please share this with people who are scared about tariffs and economic chaos.

It’s simple: American tax dollars should go to American citizens, not to illegal aliens.
The Trump Administration is getting control of the border and stopping this insanity in its tracks.
All I’m thinking as I watch this, is that I’d love to see @elonmusk unleashed on the NHS in the UK… he’d save billions and make it work properly again. Government needs big brain wrecking balls to fix stuff that’s broken - not meek mediocre minnows.
For the past two hours I had the most interesting philosophical discussion on consciousness, free will, neuroscience, and simulation hypothesis with ChatGPT.
Here's the bottom line 👇
It presented a very strong case. Enjoy the simulation 👾

🚨🇺🇸 ICE HITS NYC IN FIRST TRUMP-ERA IMMIGRATION RAID—AND THEY’RE JUST GETTING STARTED
Federal agents swept through NYC before sunrise, rounding up migrants accused of serious crimes like murder, kidnapping, and assault.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem even suited up in an ICE vest for the occasion, calling it a win for public safety.
One suspect was a Dominican national wanted for a double homicide.
Others faced charges for burglary, extortion, and violent attacks.
ICE made over 1,100 arrests nationwide yesterday.
Trump has scrapped old restrictions, meaning ICE can now raid churches, courthouses, and other former “safe zones.”
It seems Mayor Eric Adams is playing both sides, saying NYC will help with criminal deportations while reassuring immigrants the city is still a “sanctuary.”
With ICE ramping up nationwide, expect more raids—and even more political fireworks.

MARC ANDREESSEN: THE LEVEL OF CONTEMPT FOR THE TAXPAYER IS OFF THE CHARTS
“These people have enormous contempt for the taxpayer.
The first thing you hear in Washington is that [DOGE'S mission] is impossible.
They'll be able to do nothing.
And then they're like, well, it doesn't matter because all the money is in entitlements and in the debt and in the military.
Then you've got this silly fake-whatever, NPR funding, it just is a rounding error, and it doesn't matter: It's $500 million or $5 billion.
Or it's the $40 billion of charging stations, and they build eight charging stations.
Or it's the broadband Internet plan that delivered broadband to nobody and cost you $30 billion.
So, these boondoggles.
What everybody in Washington says is $30 billion is a rounding error on the federal budget.
And of course, any taxpayer is like, what the ....?
If you're this cavalier about $30 billion, imagine how cavalier you are about $3 trillion.
Thirty billion dollars divided by, let's say, 300 million taxpayers is $100 per taxpayer per year.
One hundred dollars to an ordinary person working hard every day to make money and provide for their kids is a meal out, it's a trip to the amusement park, it's the ability to buy additional educational materials, it's the ability to have a babysitter, to be able to have a romantic relationship with your wife.
There's like a hundred things that that person can do with a hundred dollars that they're not doing because it's going to some bullshit program where the money's being looted out in the form of ridiculousness and graft.
The idea that a $30 billion program is not something that is a very important thing to go after is just ...
The level of contempt for the taxpayer is just off the charts.”

Strength isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about lifting your family, your career, and your own expectations.
Every deadlift, every early morning, every disciplined choice makes you stronger—not just physically, but mentally.
Your kids are watching. Your partner is counting on you. And deep down, you know you were made for more.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about showing up every day and proving to yourself that you’re capable of handling whatever life throws at you.
Strength is never a weakness—it’s your greatest asset.
Time to get to work.
P.S.
If you like help with building systems to have the time and energy to pursue who you are meant to be, send me a DM and we can do this together 🤝
Labeling people Nazi and Fascist is what propagandists have done for decades.
Don’t just look where the finger is pointing - look at who is pointing the finger.
CHAMATH: EXCEPT FOR ELON WE HAD A LOST DECADE IN SILICON VALLEY
“I think it's fair to say that we have had a lost decade in Silicon Valley.
And when you look underneath why, what are the 2 most or 3 most or 4 most incredible technological achievements that the Silicon Valley has created in the last decade?
You're hard-pressed to find it.
So, in one example, you have Elon.
He's created reusable rocketry.
He's created an entire global mesh of communications infrastructure.
He's created electric cars.
That's an incredible thing.
And he's done that with one hand tied behind his back, fighting the government, local, state, and federal, at every single turn over the last 10 or 15 years.
What have the rest of us done?
We've created AirPods and Instagram Reels.”

🚨🇺🇸STEPHEN MILLER: 4 YEARS OF NATIONAL HUMILIATION ARE OVER; ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NO LONGER EXEMPT FROM OUR LAWS
Dep. Chief of Staff for Policy & Homeland Security Advisor, Stephen Miller:
"The Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to deputize both federal law enforcement as well as state and local law enforcement and the National Guard to conduct immigration enforcement activities.
Child traffickers are going to jail for decades. Human smugglers are going to be put behind bars. Individuals engaged in sex trafficking are going to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
We are not going to allow the trespass and invasion of this country anymore."

🚨🇺🇸SHOCKING CIA DOC REVEALS US MILITARY'S PLOT TO KILL AMERICANS
A declassified CIA document reveals that in the 1960s, the US military planned Operation Northwoods, which involved committing acts of terrorism against American citizens to justify a war with Cuba.
The plot included proposals like creating a 'Communist Cuban terror campaign' in US cities and even suggested killing US soldiers by blowing up a ship in Guantanamo Bay to blame Cuba, aiming to provoke public support for military action against Fidel Castro.
Although signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1962, the plan was ultimately rejected by President John F. Kennedy, but its recent resurfacing on Reddit has reignited public interest, especially with Trump's promise to release all JFK assassination-related documents, potentially uncovering more about government operations from that era.
