Bill Maher Says He Was Wrong About Trump Tariffs: ‘I Gotta Own It’ | Video
The "Club Random" host admits he believed the tariffs would "sink" the economy

.... The veteran comic, during the latest episode of his “Club Random” podcast on Monday, said he agreed with those who projected the president’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which were announced in early April, would result in the economy being “tanked” by the Fourth of July.

“I would have thought — and I gotta own it — that these tariffs were going to f–king sink this economy by this time — and they didn’t,” Maher said.

A moment earlier, he noted how the stock market has reached record highs and that it does not look like the country is on the verge of a 21st Century Great Depression when he drives around town. ....

Maher’s guest on his latest “Club Random” episode is Brian Tyler Cohen, a left-leaning YouTuber with 4.6 million subscribers. You can watch the full episode below:
