Chapter 2: How did Trump's tariffs impact global trade policy?
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here with the highlights. So Cabot, everyone has been waiting to hear this tariff plan. What did Trump announce?
Yeah, world leaders, investors, the business community, everyone has been holding their breath ahead of what Trump described as Liberation Day. And it did not disappoint. Speaking from the Rose Garden before an audience of lawmakers, small business owners, farmers and auto factory workers, the president kicked things off with a simple message.
April 2nd, 2025 will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America's destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again.
So no doubt this will transform the global economy. What did the final plan look like?
So first, the U.S. will establish a minimum baseline tariff of 10% on all countries, regardless of what they charge now. From there, the president announced that rates will be reciprocal, aka will decide what to charge based on what other countries charge us. But according to Trump, the U.S. will be gracious. In his words, quote, kind reciprocal, not full reciprocal.
In a truly just remarkable scene, the president held up a giant poster board displaying dozens of countries along with the exact rate that they'll now pay. Trump says that number was decided by adding up each country's tariffs, value-added taxes, and currency manipulation. That number was then divided by two, and the final rate was decided.
For example, according to Trump, China's overall rate on U.S. imports is 67%, so they'll get 34%. The EU will face 20% rates. Japan, 24%. Australia, 10%. India, 26%. The list goes on. If you look at Switzerland, 61% to 31%. Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia. Oh, look at Cambodia, 97%.
We're going to bring it down to 49. They made a fortune with the United States of America. United Kingdom, 10%.
And it was interesting. The president noted that while he views existing tariff discrepancies between the U.S. and trading partners as unfair, he did not blame those other countries for those policies.

Chapter 3: What was the political response to Trump's tariff announcement?
The White House also says that tariffs may not be preferred in a free market, but that the global economy is, in their view, no longer a true free market. They argue that other countries are manipulating markets and currencies and that we cannot continue playing by what they call an outdated set of rules. Obviously, now the big question becomes how those other countries will respond.
We'll have to wait and see.
Well, this is a big test of Trump's economic plans. Cabot, thanks for reporting.

House investigations revealed Tuesday that the FBI sought to silence its own agents from discussing Hunter Biden's laptop publicly.
Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearce is here to talk about the cover-up. Hey, Tim. So these newly released internal messages reveal some pretty damning things about the FBI. What did they say?
First, I wish we could see more of them. The messages received by the Judiciary Committee were heavily redacted. Still, what we can see looks a lot like a cover-up. To set the stage, an FBI analyst actually confirmed the laptop's authenticity in a phone call with Twitter on October 14th of 2020. the day that a story in the New York Post dropped on information found in Biden's laptop.
After that, the FBI's brass shut down public discussion. According to these messages, an FBI official told Elvis Chan, the FBI liaison for social media companies, that there was a, quote, gag order on talk about the laptop. Now, this was apparently as the FBI was actively investigating the laptop for criminal conduct.

After months of anticipation, President Trump rolled out his plan to implement historic tariffs on Wednesday, transforming American trade policy with the stroke of his pen.

Chapter 6: What values does Old Glory Bank support?
So the allegation is that the FBI knew the laptop was actually real as early as October 14th, 2020, but then went on to censor the New York Post anyway.
Right. Morning Wire spoke with Washington Free Beacon reporter John Levine about that. He was reporter at the Post when the laptop story first broke. Here's what he said.
I mean, if the FBI had just been like, look, you know, we're looking into this, but we're not going to comment, that would, I mean, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now. It was their active effort to not just discredit, but to discredit when they were actually the ones who were speaking the falsehoods. We were trying to tell the truth.
They essentially ran an information operation on the American people. They spread us a bunch of BS because the truth was detrimental to Joe Biden. They didn't want it out.
All the FBI had to do was confirm the laptop's existence. Instead, it allowed a huge censorship operation to take place on what was a very real news story.
And then, of course, you even had news outlets propping up the FBI narrative, from NPR saying it didn't want to, quote, waste our time on stories that are not really stories, to Politico publishing a story on dozens of foreign intelligence officials that suggested the laptop was somehow Russian disinformation, all while the FBI was, in fact, investigating a very real Hunter Biden laptop.
Right. So the fact that dozens of intelligence officials joined to sign that letter would suggest that it's beyond just the FBI that's involved here, right?
Right. Levine also had some insight on that as well.
It's all part of the deep state web of intelligence. You know, there's like 15 intelligence agencies. They all know each other. They all collude with each other. And what we learned later was that Anthony Blinken, who became later Secretary of State, he was instrumental in organizing this effort among those 51 officials. And some of them have sort of walked it back.
