Ep. 206 - Political Report Cards + & Trump’s $2 Billion Settlement

In this episode of The Ryles Report, host Richard Ryles breaks down the week's biggest headlines across three distinct lenses: a political report card, a book report, and a news report. First, we debut our political grading rubric, putting New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Tennessee State Senator John Stevens to the test on everything from equity to ethics. Then, we dive into a brief review of Dr. Arlene Geronimus’s groundbreaking book, Weathering, exploring the physiological toll of systemic racism. Finally, Richard unpacks Donald Trump’s historic $2 billion IRS settlement and explains why it presents a unique opportunity for Black Americans to demand accountability.What are your grades for these politicians?
