## Resource

This is “BPR Talks” – where we feature the call-in segments of the day. If you’re looking for the full two hours with guests, you can find the full episode right here in the same feed. Today on the show: As Trump turns to domestic bliss, tending to his White House lawn, ignoring his sagging poll numbers, his MAGA election losses, and the war he started in Iran… Are you tired of this? Are you expecting change for the 2028 elections? Call or Text. We’ll end the show with a beach edition of Am I The A Hole…big beach umbrellas, tents, claiming sand at 5 AM… who’s the bigger jerk? The sand hogs among us, with their bluetooth speakers and spiked stelzers… or the person who just wants some peace and quiet on the shore? Listen in to find out!
