Bill Radke reviews the week's news with reporter Tony Black of King 5, Civil Cocktail host Joni Balter, and freelance reporter with the South Seattle Emerald, Carolyn Bick.
President Trump has tested positive for COVID-19. What repercussions will that have on his presidential campaign? And will it change how his supporters view the virus?
Plus, Boeing has announced they're pulling 787 production from Everett next year. What will that mean for Boeing employees, and for Everett as a whole?
Also, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has unveiled her 2021 budget. In it is 1$00 million dollars dedicated to BIPOC communities and programs. But not everyone is happy about it.
Plus, the Navigation Team is officially no more. Mayor Durkan says it's the city council's fault. But are they really to blame?
Finally, the city council has voted in favor of a minimum wage standard for Uber and Lyft drivers. How will those companies respond to having to raise their pay?
