Who REALLY Pays Tariffs? (Brian Shapiro Breaks It Down)

Tariffs are back in the spotlight—and Brian Shapiro is calling out what he says is the biggest lie being sold to the public: the claim that “foreign countries pay the tariffs.”

In this compilation, Brian reacts to Peter Navarro doing media rounds and insisting tariffs are “tax cuts,” while economists and retailers warn the opposite: tariffs raise costs and those costs get passed to American consumers and businesses. Brian also responds to a caller who complains that the show keeps covering “tariffs, eggs, and the economy,” and Brian’s response is simple: it’s the news—because it affects what you pay every day.

The conversation turns into a direct breakdown of the core issue:

Who actually pays tariffs—and why do politicians keep pretending it’s someone else?
