So Many Reasons Armageddon is a GREAT IDEA!

Today - John discusses the administrations reasoning for the war in Iran which continued to shift and bend depending on the official and the outlet wishing to know. Meanwhile, attention has shifted to the Strait of Hormuz and oil tankers’ ability to safely exit a region long patrolled by Iran. Ships from Britain and France will enter the region to chaperone tankers through the region, but Donald Trump says critical nations that refuse to help, like Spain, will instead see embargoed trade. John also talks about the right wing Christian Nationalists who are pushing for war because they believe the apocalypse will bring Jesus back to earth. Then, he interviews Dr. Angela Simms, an Assistant Professor at Barnard College. They discusses her new book, "Fighting for a Foothold," which examines the structural issues undermining the Black middle class in Prince George's County, Maryland. Her insights shed light on the systemic barriers that persist despite the hard work and dedication of many residents. Next, John speaks with Dr. Anahita Dua, a practicing surgeon and healthcare advocate, who emphasizes the importance of having a decisive and knowledgeable U.S. Surgeon General. She critiques the current public health messaging and highlights the need for clarity and confidence in addressing health crises, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. And finally, "Comedy Daddy" - Keith Price returns to chat with listeners and bring levity to the doom and gloom.
