It’s another wild and news-packed morning on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show. The RSMS crew dives into major national headlines as a federal judge orders the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits during the ongoing government shutdown, ensuring that over 42 million Americans receive their full food assistance for November. The team breaks down how this ruling forces the USDA to pull from other funds after the administration initially planned only partial payments.  

On the entertainment side, Snoop Dogg’s New Year’s Eve Special has been canceled by NBC, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts tied to his upcoming coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics, although Gary With Da Tea hints lingering backlash from past controversies may also be a factor. And in a heartbreaking national story, Virginia teacher Abigail Zwerner has been awarded $10 million after surviving a classroom shooting by her 6-year-old student, reigniting debates over school safety and accountability.
