FULL SHOW | Twenty-Four States Are Suing Trump Administration for Education; The Obamas Address Rumors of Divorce; Ne-Yo Talks with the RSMS Crew; and MORE

from Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast · host Urban One

On today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show, listeners are treated to a mix of political fights, celebrity clarification, and musical inspiration. A bi-coastal coalition of 24 states plus DC filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for withholding $6.8 billion in federally-approved education funding—arguing the freeze violates constitutional spending norms and jeopardizes critical programs. In lighter news, former President Barack and Michelle Obama hilariously shot down persistent divorce rumors on Michelle’s “IMO” podcast, joking that Michelle “took him back” and emphasizing that their bond has only strengthened over 30 years of marriage. And music icon Ne-Yo joined the conversation, revealing his growing interest in country-infused R&B while working in Nashville and discussing his creative approach and future projects.   Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
