About this listen
In this episode of The Teen Take, I break down the biggest political headlines of the week — in plain language and from a Gen Z perspective.
We start in California, where recent ICE raids at MacArthur Park sparked outrage and fear, especially among young people. I ask: What does it mean for teens when our public spaces are treated like war zones?
Then we turn to the global stage — from President Trump’s new 30% tariffs on the EU and Mexico, to retaliatory threats from Europe, to his explosive 50% tariff on Brazil. I explore the surprising connection between Trump and Brazil’s controversial former president, Jair Bolsonaro.
We also look at the U.S. being left out of a new global trade pact, and what that could mean for American prices and power.
Finally, we talk about Elon Musk’s new “America Party” — a fresh political movement with big ambitions and a lot of unanswered questions.
This episode is packed with international drama, economic tension, and real questions about what leadership looks like — all broken down so anyone can understand.
🎙️ Stay loud. Stay smart. I’m Thaddeus, and this is The Teen Take.
