Melissa brings on former and current colleague Producer Jeremy to get the male perspective on several things, from body image to infidelity. Why is porn such a big part of men's lives? Are men designed to cheat? Jeremy gives insights that might surprise a lot of women about their boyfriends or husbands.

Leslie is joined by Scott N. Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.

The two analyze President Trump's announcement that he will proceed with tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese imports. Trump also introduced new limits on Chinese investment in U.S. high-tech industries as part of a broad campaign to crack down on Chinese acquisition of U.S. technology.

Leslie and Scott also address the news that Ivanka Trump won seven new Chinese trademarks right before her father vowed to save Chinese company ZTE.

The AAM's website is www.AmericanManufacturing.org and their Twitter handle is @KeepItMadeInUSA. Scott's handle is @ScottPaulAAM.

Trump stands on 5th Ave and shoots American dignity - while pining for authoritarian dictators like a battered spouse pining for an abuser.

On the radio show this week we talk about the wave of change that’s sweeping our nation and signs of hope that women’s power is indeed rising. We also cover women standing up for every immigrant woman, child, and family to be treated fairly; about how women are winning primary elections across the country; and about how white women like me need to talk with other white women about not calling the police on Black people simply for living (Check out this CNN article on the topic that went viral this week: https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/18/opinions/white-women-stop-calling-police-rowe-finkbeiner/index.html )

*Special guests include: Teresa Younger, Ms. Foundation President; U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal; Congressional candidate Liz Watson; and Ruth Martin of MomsRising.
