Show Notes

On today’s episode, Andy and Bryan Callen discuss the State Department’s dramatic plan to cut 15% of its U.S. staff and shut down over 130 offices—a move Secretary of State Marco Rubio says is essential to modernize a bloated bureaucracy. But will this shakeup strengthen America’s diplomatic edge or leave it exposed on the global stage? Then, the guys dive into the tariff transparency debate, as Amazon pushes back against claims it will display import fees alongside product prices.
