Marcus Lemonis, host of the Fox Business show "The Fixer," discussed business leaders' reactions to President Donald Trump's tariffs in an August 2025 appearance on "Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street." He said there is uncertainty among businesses about how to handle the tariffs, which he described as largely intended to drive manufacturing jobs and investment in the U.S. Lemonis also argued that lowering interest rates and reducing the cost of capital would help companies invest in factories, hiring, and equipment to meet manufacturing demand. He outlined his "three-piece strategy" for evaluating companies, which focuses on the relevance of the product, the process, and the people, and he said the current administration has done a better job of focusing on employees and business owners. In the first episode of "The Fixer," which aired in August 2025, Lemonis met with the family-owned New York City company Anybag, which makes bags from recycled single-use plastic. During the meeting, he advised the founders to prioritize their core leather goods business over the bag line, telling them to "stop [bleeping] around with the bags" until their primary business was stronger. He praised their plan to purchase an automated loom as a way to improve margins and compete against foreign imports.
