It’s a big Friday show! We’ll look at Trump’s latest back and forth tariff ultimatums and extensions as he scrambles to make more trade deals.
We’ll get details on whether Trump’s new tax policy will make it easier to slide control of social security to private companies. Alex Lawson with Social Security Works will lay it all out.
Oscar nominated writer and director Billy Ray will stop in to talk movies, Hollywood and politics.
This Week in Politics brings our beloved Jim Avila and Michael Shure to the show. These heavy hitting journalists will help us highlight the biggest stories of the week.
The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, brings it home with his thoughts on your theater and streaming options this weekend.
