Summary

Today, we're talking to Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, about the recent stock market drop and whether it has anything to do with Trump's tariffs. And are signs actually pointing to a recession, or is the media overplaying things like normal? We also talk about the continuing resolution currently on the Senate floor to extend Congress' budget to prevent a government shutdown and why Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) opposes it. And we get a little into the Texas bills aiming to adopt school choice for families rather than forcing them to send their children into the jaws of the public school system.

0:00.0	As a mom, I would feel so guilty about screen time.
0:04.2	Turning on the TV felt like handing my kids a bowl of candy and turning it off became a battle.
0:10.2	So when I discovered Sherwood Kids, an app full of audio stories and low stimulation shows, I had to try it.
0:18.3	And honestly, at first, it was a big adjustment.
0:21.5	My kids were just used to the sensory overload style of most shows.
0:25.8	But I stuck with it because when they were on Sherwood, I could literally see their imaginations
0:31.3	working.
0:32.6	Now they're asking for Sherwood, and I'm thrilled to say yes.
0:37.4	Their favorite show, work and wonder, is all about blue-collar jobs and the reward of hard work.
0:43.1	They love it, and I love that they love it.
0:45.9	So if you're tired of worrying about what your kids are watching and the negative impact it's having,

1:08.8	resolution to keep the government open. And what is the
1:12.2	truth about school choice? We've got my dad, Ron Simmons here to break it all down for us on today's
1:17.9	episode of Relatable. Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
1:33.4	Okay, before we get into the interview with my dad, which was recorded yesterday, I want to make
1:37.8	sure to give an update on something we talked about, the continued resolution, which my dad
1:41.9	will break down today, give some background on where
