Today, we're talking to Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, about the recent stock market drop and whether it has anything to do with Trump's tariffs. And are signs actually pointing to a recession, or is the media overplaying things like normal? We also talk about the continuing resolution currently on the Senate floor to extend Congress' budget to prevent a government shutdown and why Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) opposes it. And we get a little into the Texas bills aiming to adopt school choice for families rather than forcing them to send their children into the jaws of the public school system.
