Popping Politics

I talk about the upcoming midterm elections and cover contentious seats in the Senate, and I also cover early mail-in and in-person voting data.

I discuss Trump's visit to China and the updates on tariffs and trade deals.

I discuss the voting referendum in Virginia that had the possibility to become a game changer in midterms, although the supreme court shut it down.

I discuss the ceasefire in the Iran War.

I discuss the DHS Funding Bill (has since been changed minorly) passed by the Senate as well as updates on Iran.

I interview King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci about her policy as a changemaker in the community, including about policies like the upcoming Sound Transit station opening here on Mercer Island on 3/28 and more.

I discuss the US Strikes on Iran that occurred 2/28, in conjunction with Israel, what caused them, and what's next for the region.

I discuss 3 main topics: the Supreme Court striking down Trump's 4/2/2025 "Liberation Day" Tariffs (and his new 15% tariffs), interactions with Cuba, and the upcoming DHS Funding.

In other news, you're now listening to the IBS's best high school non-music radio show in the nation!

I cover the government shutdown over a standoff in DHS funding as tensions rise in Minneapolis and around the nation after the tragic shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good.

Join me in an interview with US Representative Adam Smith, covering his journey into politics, from youngest State Senator in the Nation to US House Representative and Ranking Member on the HASC.
