Episode Details

This hour, Newell shares his thoughts on the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) offering high school students up to $1,000 for perfect attendance through its popular "Perfect Attendance Pays" initiative and full-time graduate students at Rutgers University-New Brunswick being charged a mandatory $936 per semester in general student fees (totaling $1,872 per academic year) that partially goes to the promotion of a network of identity-based graduate affinity groups, covering categories such as African, Chinese, Latino/a/e/x, BIPOC LGBTQIA2S+, and neurodiverse student communities. Then, Ryan Young, Senior Economist at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, joins the show to examine what higher Canadian tariffs could mean for the price of cars, energy, food, and other essentials.
