    Ceasefire on Fire

    John's monologue this time focuses on the US saying it targeted military facilities in Iran after coming under IRGC missile fire, but the ceasefire is still intact. Iran says it fired missiles at American ships after the US attacked its military bases and the ceasefire is a pile of flaming poop. Put them together and it sounds like gas prices are going up some more. Despite the violent volley, Trump still ended the day promising the war would “end within a week”. Next, John talks with the CEO of Moms Rising - Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner and she sheds light on the childcare crisis that many families are facing. With childcare costs exceeding rent in 17 states, it’s clear that the current system is untenable for many parents. Finkbeiner emphasizes the need for a robust care infrastructure, explaining that the lack of affordable childcare is not just a personal struggle for families but a national emergency that affects the economy as a whole. And then finally, John welcomes back the Rev. Barry Lynn. The conversation touches on a wide array of topics, including the skyrocketing gas prices that have left many Americans feeling financially strained. A recent NPR/PBS Maris poll revealing that 81% of Americans are feeling the pinch in their wallets. This financial strain is not just a statistic; it’s a reality that affects families across the nation.

    Reinventing Democracy to Serve Autocratic Ambitions

    John discusses the recent actions taken by Republican legislatures across the country after the Supreme Court's decision to weaken the Voting Rights Act. He explains how these changes are not just political maneuvers, but direct attacks on the democratic process itself. He also talks about the FDA blocking studies which found Covid and shingles vaccines safe. HHS officials say serious side-effects from vaccines were rare. Then, John talks to podcast star Bob Cesca about Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who has released a long-term immigration and border patrol funding bill that includes $1 billion earmarked for "security improvements" for Trump's ballroom. Next, The God Squad returns to share their insights on the moral responsibilities of faith communities in the face of political injustice. They emphasize the importance of standing against racial gerrymandering and the need for churches to take an active role in advocating for voting rights. And finally, John speaks with legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson and they chat with listeners about the need for accountability in the wake of alarming behaviors exhibited by Trump, including a statement from a group of mental health professionals calling for his removal from office due to his deteriorating mental state.

    A Chintzy Airline and a Glitzy Ballroom

    John talks about Spirit Airlines throwing in the towel and shutting down permanently saying the price of airline fuel did them in. He also talks about Trump saying in the Oval Office last November: “These are all private individuals that put up a lot of money to build the ballroom,” he added. "Not one penny is being used from the federal government." But now, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a long-term immigration and border patrol funding bill that includes $1 billion earmarked for security improvements accompanying the overall ballroom project. Then, John talks with award-winning political strategist, speaker, and author Atima Omara about her new book "The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (and What We Can Learn from Them)". And finally, comedian Keith Price is back to joke with listeners about current news and pop culture.

    The Non-Stop, Boo-Hoo, Poor Me, Perpetual Victimhood of Mike Johnson and the White Christian Nationalists

Then, he interviews Lexi Doherty, a rising star in Georgia politics running for Congress in the 10th district. Lexy became a poll worker to give back and invest in her community.
