House leadership looks to expel four representatives, two Democrats and two Republicans, in a very rare expulsion swap after the latest sexual assault scandal involving Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) that ended his gubernatorial run. The Chinese Communist regime fumes as the United States forbids Iran's selective Hormuz Strait passage blockade, negotiations continue to break down as U.S. Navy ships move into position. The President of the United States gets in hot water over a fight with the Pope and depicting himself as Jesus Christ in a Truth Social post. Another semi-truck accident in Indiana. We sit down with 3rd-generation truck driver Gord Magill to discuss “End of The Road - Inside The War On Truckers”, available at: https://www.amazon.com/End-Road-Inside-War-Truckers/dp/1967613028 More as news develops!
