 Welcome to another episode of Rivera & Reeves, where we're breaking down the news the mainstream media won't touch! This week, Meseidy and Rachel tackle the overlooked signs of de-escalation in the US-China tariff war that the media refuses to report on. Why isn't anyone talking about China exempting $40 billion in US imports from tariffs? We'll tell you why! Plus, we dive into the NPR and PBS defunding drama (bye Felicia!), the mysterious exit of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and of course, the wild AI Pope and lightsaber memes that have everyone clutching their pearls. All this plus our signature earmarks covering the latest developments you need to know about. So grab your coffee and join us as we wade through the spin, because the media is trash and we have zero patience for their nonsense!Episode Highlights:Tariff War Developments: China has quietly exempted $40 billion worth of US exports from tariffs and factory workers are protesting in China, but mainstream media remains suspiciously silent on these signs of de-escalation.NPR & PBS Defunding: Trump signed an executive order cutting $535 million from NPR and PBS budgets, while the hosts argue that government shouldn't be funding biased media that pushes progressive narratives under the guise of children's programming.White House Staffing Shuffle: National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was unexpectedly moved to UN Ambassador (requiring Senate confirmation) following "Signal Gate," with Marco Rubio temporarily adding this role to his growing collection of administration positions.AI Pope Controversy: The hosts debate the appropriateness of the White House sharing AI-generated images of Trump as the Pope, with Rachel arguing it undermines respect for the office while Meseidy sees it as potentially relatable but poorly executed.Earmark Roundup: The episode covers several developing stories including DHS paying migrants to self-deport, Trump's 100% tariff on foreign movies, plans to reopen Alcatraz prison, and Israel's potential plans for Gaza following Trump's visit to the region.Listen Ad FreeLove what you’re hearing and want even more?
