There's a headline that I came across this morning that I think so well encapsulates the chaos and the dysfunction that we are living through and the precarious moment that we find ourselves in. From CBS News, the headline is this. Lutnick says Trump's policies are, quote, worth it, even if they lead to a recession. The Lutnik, of course, that this article is referring to is President Trump's commerce secretary. Think about that for a second. That in his view, these reckless economic policies are worth it, even if they cause a recession. (00:40–00:48)
