Debate between Keith Rabois and Zach Weinberg on what tariffs are actually trying to accomplish. One core theme: Tariffs aren’t fully about “bringing back factories,” but rather a negotiation tool to eliminate foreign trade barriers - ultimately aiming to increase free trade, not restrict it.We also got into:- What each of them would do if they were in charge- Whether the trade deficit is a meaningful metric or just a misunderstood talking point- If tariffs could be part of an initiative to replace income tax — shifting toward a more consumption-based tax system- If tariffs could successfully be used as a non-military tool to reduce drug supply to the US- If there’s a major disconnect between the new administration’s rhetoric and the actual economic goals behind the policyOne of the deepest economic conversations from the show’s recent history — and a rare debate where both sides had real logic behind their views.Executive Producer: Rashad AssirProducer: Leah ClapperMixing and editing: Justin HrabovskyCheck out Unsupervised Learning, Redpoint's AI Podcast: <a class="link" href="https://www.youtube.com/@UCUl-s_Vp-Kkk_XVyDylNwLA">https://www.youtube.com/@UCUl-s_Vp-Kkk_XVyDylNwLA</a>🎙 Listen to the showApple Podcasts: <a class="link" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-logan-bartlett-show/id1606770839">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-logan-bartlett-show/id1606770839</a>Spotify: <a class="link" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5WqBqDb4br3LlyVrdqOYYb?si=3076e6c1b5c94d63&nd=1">https://open.spotify.com/show/5WqBqDb4br3LlyVrdqOYYb?si=3076e6c1b5c94d63&nd=1</a>🎥 Subscribe on YouTube: <a class="link" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCugS0jD5IAdoqzjaNYzns7w?sub_confirmation=1">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCugS0jD5IAdoqzjaNYzns7w?sub_confirmation=1</a>Follow on Socials📸 Instagram - <a class="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/theloganbartlettshow">https://www.instagram.com/theloganbartlettshow</a>🐦 Twitter - <a class="link" href="https://twitter.com/loganbartshow">https://twitter.com/loganbartshow</a>🎬 Clips on TikTok - <a class="link" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theloganbartlettshow">https://www.tiktok.com/@theloganbartlettshow</a>About the ShowLogan Bartlett is a Software Investor at Redpoint Ventures - a Silicon Valley-based VC with $6B AUM and investments in Snowflake, DraftKings, Twilio, and Netflix.
