In Dire Straits Trying to Straiten Out the Strait

In Dire Straits Trying to Straiten Out the Strait

John once again talks about the War in the Middle East. Pentagon officials told Congress the first week of war in Iran has cost the people of the United States more than $11 Billion. Refineries and tankers in and around the Strait of Hormuz continue to come under attack from Iranian drones and missiles, with new supreme leader Khamenei promising the fun will continue until the US feels the economic pain of its actions. Then, he interviews democrat Crystal Rhoades who has been the Douglas County Clerk of the District Court in Nebraska. Rhoades is running for election to the House to represent Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District in the Democratic primary scheduled on May 12th. Rhoades served as a public service commissioner from 2015 to 2023.
