Today we’re taking an UNFILTERED look at the damage President Trump’s tariffs are doing to U.S manufacturers – can the administration spin the loss of8,000 manufacturing jobs in just one month as a victory for the American worker? Then it’s indictment time! Seeing as how Trump forcibly impedes and interferes with federal law enforcement every day, it must’ve been shocking for Congresswoman LaMonica McIver to learn that she’s the one being indicted. Does her NOT being a white male maybe have something to do with it? Also, Trump once again proves that he’s not the “sharpest bulb” by delivering a divisive campaign speech to a military audience. Why aren’t we hearing any pushback from senior leadership in the military? Plus, the Chinese military is practicing blockades of Taiwan while RFK Jr. is firing vaccine experts and abandoning patients.

Amy and Denver did a live YouTube Q&A on their YouTube channel to talk about Donald Trump’s deployment of Marines and The National Guard into Los Angeles. Is it illegal? What happens next? What can we do about it?

THIS WEEK UNFILTERED

Today we’re hoping the safety bars are secure as we take

an UNFILTERED ride on the tariff rollercoaster – can someone

please pump the brakes on Trump’s economic madness?

Also, we set sail on the U.S.S. Fragile Masculinity with Pete

Hegseth – just why does the name Harvey Milk make him so angry?

Then Putin threatens Ukraine with nuclear war. Is this just

more bluster or are we seeing an escalation in the war?

Plus, want a job in the federal government? Then be ready to

write an essay about how awesome Trump is. Women’s healthcare

is once again in the crosshairs. And Joni Ernst would like to

remind everyone that “we’re all gonna die”
