Ep 1155 | Debunking the Biggest School Choice Lies | Guest: Ron Simmons

from Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey · host Blaze Podcast Network

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.
