Episode Details

Indiana businesses are finally getting refunds for illegal tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in 2025, with over 60% of national refunds already paid out. Companies here paid more than $3.3 billion — some, like Jeff Clark’s seven-person operation, were on the brink of collapse until receiving over $65,000 that kept them afloat. While big names like GM and Stellantis report massive payouts, smaller firms struggle to navigate the system, often needing shipping partners and meticulous records to qualify. With new tariffs recently slapped on 80+ countries and 25 states suing the government, small business owners remain anxious — even a thousand dollars can mean survival, but the road ahead is uncertain and fraught with bureaucratic hurdles.
