## Resource

This time - John's monologue reflects on the triumphant opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, with a star-studded day of speeches and performances. He then points out Trump's foreign policy blunders and reflects on how the Obama administration's Iran deal has been overshadowed by Trump's chaotic approach to international relations. Then, Reverend Barry Lynn adds a unique perspective, discussing the intersection of religion and politics, and the need for solidarity among diverse faith communities. And finally, Dr. Christian Green, an advocate for voting rights and civic engagement, shares his experiences and the challenges faced by marginalized communities in exercising their right to vote. The conversation touches on the ongoing threats to democracy, including voter suppression tactics that disproportionately affect Black, Latino, and low-income voters.
