    Me Thinks the Lady Doth Protest Too Much

    John talks about First Lady Melania Trump who held a press conference to address the commonly held and evidence-backed belief she and her husband were close friends with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He also discusses the complete confusion over shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz - despite Donald Trump’s magic ceasefire. Even a fully re-opened and peaceful strait would take weeks, even months, to clear the huge traffic jam. Next, he speaks with Anne Lamott who's the author of twenty books, including the New York Times bestsellers Help, Thanks, Wow, Dusk, Night, Dawn, Traveling Mercies, and Bird by Bird, as well as seven novels. And, Neal Allen who's a writer, spiritual coach, and speaker. He is the author of Shapes of Truth and Better Days. A former journalist and corporate executive, he holds master’s degrees in Political Science and Eastern Classics. Together these 2 writers show you how to turn a worthy sentence into a memorable one. Good Writing can improve your book, your essay, your memo, your blog post, your speech, or your script. And winding it up, John welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn who's an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and who served as the executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State until his retirement. They talk about the Pope's condemnation of Trump and the unholy Iranian War.

    And Another One Gone, And Another One Gone, Another One Bites the Dust. Hey, He's Gonna Get You Too - Another One Bites the Dust

    Oh and next on the chopping block - Bribe Me Barbie Ms. Pamela Jo Bondi. John discusses Trump firing her as Attorney General and elevating Todd Blanche to interim head of the Department of Justice. He also talks about Trump’s less than rousing and far from reassuring Wednesday night address from the Oval Office which did nothing to calm markets – quite the opposite in fact. The DOW dropped 500 points on opening and oil prices shot up AGAIN. Next, John speaks with journalist, author, and producer Emily Yellin. They talk about her latest book, "Nonviolent — A Memoir of Resistance, Agitation, and Love", which is a collaboration with Civil Rights Movement leader Rev. James Lawson Jr. They worked together for five years to write his story, before he passed away in 2024 at the age of 95. And then, John welcomes back award-winning investigative reporter, writer, producer, veteran, bestselling true crime author, and former correspondent for America's Most Wanted - Brian Karem. They joke about the ever increasing cognitive decline of Trump's withering brain and the overwhelming difficulties of being in the White House press pool.
