Summary
John talks about First Lady Melania Trump who held a press conference to address the commonly held and evidence-backed belief she and her husband were close friends with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He also discusses the complete confusion over shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz - despite Donald Trump’s magic ceasefire. Even a fully re-opened and peaceful strait would take weeks, even months, to clear the huge traffic jam. Next, he speaks with Anne Lamott who's the author of twenty books, including the New York Times bestsellers Help, Thanks, Wow, Dusk, Night, Dawn, Traveling Mercies, and Bird by Bird, as well as seven novels. And, Neal Allen who's a writer, spiritual coach, and speaker. He is the author of Shapes of Truth and Better Days. A former journalist and corporate executive, he holds master’s degrees in Political Science and Eastern Classics. Together these 2 writers show you how to turn a worthy sentence into a memorable one. Good Writing can improve your book, your essay, your memo, your blog post, your speech, or your script. And winding it up, John welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn who's an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and who served as the executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State until his retirement. They talk about the Pope's condemnation of Trump and the unholy Iranian War.
