## Resource

In the latest episode - John talks about the stupidity surrounding the reflecting pool. After touring the newly emptied pool on the National Mall, Trump ordered fencing erected around the algae-rific pond to keep out more imaginary antifa operatives. He also discusses the harsh sentencing of anti-ICE protesters, the Supreme Court's ruling on religious rights, and the chaotic state of Trump's presidency. Joined by comedian Keith Price, AKA "Comedy Daddy", they joke with listeners about pop culture and politics.
