Drivetime with DeRusha

A lot to unpack on this Monday - from the tariffs between the United States and Canada, teacher boycotts with Target, State Fair politics, Radd Report and Dave Schwartz as well!

Final hour of the show we discuss politics at the Minnesota State Fair and chat sports with Dave Schwartz amid the Twins sweeps and JJ McCarthy struggles!

The big story in the WNBA should be the Lynx but its not - we chat with Dave Schwartz about this, the JJ McCarthy struggles, Twins and much more!

Just a few days away we are headed to the Fair to tout who we support in politics - what are some of the names you plan to seek out while at the Minnesota State Fair?

We chat with our friend Kate Raddatz in the second hour about pros and cons of sweet corn, the summer that has been and the Minnesota State Fair! Then teachers are boycotting Target for their lack of action against ICE!

Many businesses were under fire earlier this year when it comes to ICE and protecting workers against their policing - now Target is under fire from teachers when it comes to lack of action - we discuss and Josh has thoughts as a former Target employee - he shares his perspective!

As we wind down on the summer we catch up with our friend Kate Raddatz talking about Sweet Corn: pros and cons, best part of the summer and some of her must-haves of the Minnesota State Fair as we are just a few days away!

This first hour we begin with arguably the biggest story to start the week at least locally - the protesting in Minneapolis that led to the arrest of Jake Lang . Then another tariff handed to Canada some are immediate, some January 1st, then we remember Annunciation as we approach Thursday’s one year mark as we get a peek into Fletchers Room in the aftermath of this tragedy!

Here we are again, another tariff placed against Canada - what does it mean both in the short term and long term and is this a move of leverage or is it permanent? How much thought or worry should we REALLY pour into this!

To start the show we react to the Jake Lang arrest amid the protests in Downtown Minneapolis on Saturday - why does Minnesota fall into the trap of making ourselves look bad time and time again - we discuss this and how to best possibly approach these situations to diminish the violence when it comes to these gatherings and protests!
