## Resource

In this episode, John discusses Tucker Carlson's recent apology for helping Trump get elected, framing it as a strategic move rather than a genuine act of contrition. He argues that Carlson's shift in tone is more about rebranding than true repentance, a sentiment that resonates with many listeners who are skeptical of political motives. Then, he talks about the peace talks which have stalled between the US and Iran but Trump says he is extending his mythical deadline once again, hopeful Iran will come back with a proposal soon. John then delves into Pete Kegsbreath's decision to lift vaccine mandates in the military, a topic that has, of course, sparked heated debate. Next, he interviews Dan McClellan  who's an award-winning public scholar of the Bible. They talk about his new book: " The Bible Says So". Then, John speaks with Richard Ojeda  who's a former Army Major and former member of the WV Senate. He is the democratic nominee to represent North Carolina’s 9th District in the US House of Representatives, set to face off against Republican Richard Hudson this fall. And then rounding it out, "Comedy Daddy" Keith Price returns to joke with John and listeners about the latest political news and the hottest pop culture.
