## Resource

Hour 2 - Good Monday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: President Donald Trump’s new oil agreement with Venezuela could give the United States access to a 65 billion-barrel crude-oil prize. The Trump administration is also ending summer-blend gasoline requirements two weeks early, allowing the sale of winter-blend fuel to start on September 1st, to lower gas prices. The mayor of a small city in Mississippi is arguing against lowering the flag to honor Dolly Parton, worrying that it would "lessen the meaning of the gesture" in the future. Country music artist Jelly Roll told angry fans to stop listening to his music if they dislike his jabs against President Donald Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live!   A West Hollywood city council candidate and former Hillary Clinton organizer has had her meet-and-greet at a lesbian bar suddenly canceled after patrons fumed about her political views.
