Show Notes

On this episode of America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, Neil Bradley, Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, examined how tariffs, persistent inflation, labor shortages, and the rapid rise of AI are impacting small businesses across the country. Bradley discussed the challenges employers face in hiring, pricing, and long-term planning amid economic uncertainty.

Later, Professor Paul Gillingham of Northwestern University, author of “Mexico: A 500-Year History,” provided historical and political context to explain why Mexican cartels continue to wield outsized power and why migration pressures remain high despite Mexico being a top-15 global economy. Gillingham explored governance gaps, corruption, regional inequality, and cartel violence as key drivers pushing people toward the U.S.
