Episode Details

Tuscaloosa’s BF Goodrich tire plant is shutting down, impacting 1,200 workers — but blame’s being placed squarely on national policy, not wages. Alabama Democrats Phillip Ensler and Doug Jones point fingers at Trump tariffs and Senator Tommy Tuberville’s economic stance as the real culprits. Meanwhile, BFGoodrich says the closure stems from long-term inefficiencies and fierce competition, with Fort Wayne better positioned for future demand. No immediate layoffs planned as the company phases out operations by late 2028.
