Ep 1135 | My Reaction to Lily Collins’ Surrogacy Announcement & Trump’s Tariffs Explained | Guest: Ron Simmons

Today, we sit down with Allie's dad, fan favorite Ron Simmons, to discuss everything you need to know about Trump's tariffs against Mexico and Canada. We go over what exactly tariffs are and how President Trump is using them to advance an "America First" agenda. We talk about how well they have worked so far as leverage against foreign nations in order to secure the southern border. Later, we discuss actress Lily Collins' announcement of the birth of her first child via surrogate and the controversy that erupted online over it. After all, at the end of the day, surrogacy still hurts children and deprives them of their birth mothers.
