The result?

Our economy's fragile, like a $50,000 Hermes pendant necklace.

Can't balance an economy on that thing.

But besties, this pod's not over yet.

Here's what else you need to know today.

First, we just got the government data confirming that the U.S.

imported more goods in 2025 than ever before.

That is surprising because the presumed goal of the tariffs were to encourage us to buy made in USA goods instead.

But it's also unsurprising that the opposite happened because tariffs are widely known to be an ineffective tool for accomplishing that.

Now, we should point out that in services, not physical goods, the U.S.

has a surplus like we usually do.

Movies, music, tech, America's biggest export is culture.

For our second story, it's one bright detail from the avalanche ski tragedy over in California, and it has to do with the iPhone.

That's right, because six surviving skiers were saved by the iPhone SOS feature.

They were stuck under the snow,

without cell service, but they pushed that emergency button on the iPhone, and it got satellite signal to send a 911 message.

That iPhone saved their lives.

And finally, the grandson of the founder of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

You'd like to have a word, Jack.

Brad Reese, who's 70 now, but the grandson of the founder, said, I just can't let this go.
