  • Summary


  • On this episode of SOUNDS with Tom Needham, author and manufacturing expert John Gardiner makes the case for tariffs as a powerful tool to boost American industry and generate government revenue.


    Drawing insights from his book “Manufacture Local,” Gardiner explains how a strategic tariff policy can protect domestic manufacturing, reduce reliance on foreign production, and revitalize the economy.

    He challenges the conventional wisdom on free trade, arguing that tariffs—when used effectively—can encourage investment in American businesses, create high-quality jobs, and provide funding for essential national projects.


    With nearly two decades of experience working with manufacturers, Gardiner breaks down how tariffs have historically shaped economic strength and why they should play a key role in America’s future.

    Join Tom Needham for a thought-provoking discussion on the role of tariffs in rebuilding America’s industrial power and ensuring long-term economic stability.
