This was a week when the noise was deafening — and the truth was harder than ever to find.
Inflation hit 3.8%, the highest rate since 2023. Gas prices are still punishing families at the pump. A war in the Middle East launched without a vote of Congress continues with no clear end in sight. And the people running our government keep telling us everything is fine.
We didn’t let that stand.
This week on Lincoln Square, University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers joined Susan J. Demas to put our economy in real historical context — tariffs, the housing market, gas prices, AI, and what it all means for your family. He didn’t spin it. He explained it.
On The Frank Figliuzzi Show, former CIA Director John Brennan sat down to talk about what it means to stand firm when a president tries to silence and retaliate against the people who served this country. His message was simple: “I’m proud of my service. I will continue to speak up. I’m not going to be cowed by any intimidation tactics.” That’s courage. That’s what we cover.
And on It’s the Democracy, Stupid, Edwin Eisendrath talked with Aaron Parnas — one of the most trusted voices in political news for a generation that’s done with cable TV. Aaron leads with what matters to real people. This week, that meant focusing on the damage a data center is doing to a community near Memphis. That’s the kind of journalism that builds trust.
Three shows. Three conversations that cut through the fog.
We do this every week. And we can only do it because of you.
