Summary
John this time discusses JD Vance who continued his media tour - selling another theoretical ceasefire with Iran as anything but an American strategic loss of lives, time and money. He also talks about the disastrous waste of tax-payer money Trump spent on renovating the reflecting pool and then having it turn green with algae soon after. Then, he interviews the founder and CEO of the National Democratic Training Committee - Kelly Dietrich . She shares her expertise on the current political climate and the importance of grassroots movements in shaping the future of the Democratic Party. Next, he speaks with Allison Butler who is the Director of the Media Literacy Certificate Program in the Department of Communication at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she teaches courses on critical media literacy and representations of education in the media. They talk about the complexities of media representation and the challenges faced by women in the public eye. She argues that visibility does not equate to power, and that women are often portrayed through patriarchal lenses that diminish their complexity. And then lastly, John jokes with Keith Price and they take calls from listeners about living life in the hellscape of Trumpland.
