FULL SHOW | Donald Trump's Tariffs Now Official; Jay-Z and Partners Bid to Bring Ceasar's Palace to Time Square; Colorado Public Schools to Teach Black History Year-Round; and MORE
Description
On today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show, listeners were brought up to speed on four major stories. First, Donald Trump signed sweeping new tariffs—steel and aluminum rates were doubled to 50%, with tariffs ranging between 10% and 50% now targeting dozens of countries including Canada, the EU, and Taiwan—raising concerns about inflation and legal challenges over their broad scope and rapid rollout.
Jay-Z, in partnership with Caesars Entertainment and SL Green Properties, formally bid to bring a large-scale Caesars casino resort to Times Square, pledging $250 million in community benefits, up to 3,800 permanent New York jobs, and a projected $7 billion local economic impact.
Lastly, Colorado public schools will begin teaching Black history year-round, responding to widespread advocacy and a growing push for inclusive curriculum reform—marking a shift from token months to systemic education change.
