We are proud to have Ken W. Good, a bail bondsman (bondsperson?) and attorney, on next week’s podcast and begin with that news.

We revisit the topic of “student athletes” to talk about their medical care.

We return to trivia.

John recounts the consequences, thus far, from the new tariffs, and we postulate why Trump may be doing this.

John draws from a Post article to explain just what global trade has done for Americans.

Tim asserts that Congress could fix the tariff problem by reclaiming its Constitutional authority.

Then, we hear a bedtime story for modern times.

John’s whack-job is a politician who does not act like a grownup.

Tim’s hero makes the longest speech in Senate history.

We would love to hear from you.
