• Episode 3- Tariffs, Truth, and Turmoil: Who Really Pays the Price
    Jan 25 2026
    Tonight, we're shaking up two major stories dominating the national conversation- stories that hit your wallet, challenge your trust in institutions, and raise serious questions about power, accountability, and transparency in America.

    First tariffs.

    President Donald Trump and his allies are once again promising that tariffs will bring manufacturing jobs "roaring back " to the United States. But the data tells a very different story- one involving job losses, higher prices, and uncertainty that may be hurting the very workers these policies claim to protect.

    Then a disturbing development inside the federal justice system. An FBI agent resigns after allegedly being pressured to back away from a civil rights investigation involving the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer. Multiple federal prosecutors walk out . Protests erupt. And the question becomes unavoidable:

    Who investigates the investigators?

    This is not partisan outrage.
    This is not social media speculation.

    Welcome to News Shake Up —
    the show where we slow the headlines down long enough to actually understand them.

    I’m your host, Anthony Smith.

    Every notification brings a new argument.
    And somewhere in the middle of all that noise, truth often gets lost.

    Here on News Shake Up, we don’t rush past the stories.

    We sit with them.
    We question them.
    We connect the dots.

    From sports and entertainment to politics and real-life accountability — this is where the stories behind the headlines get unpacked.
