Summary
John's monologue focuses on Trump declaring a “Crime Emergency” in the District of Columbia and ordering the mobilization of National Guard soldiers to take over the policing of the nation’s capital. He also talks about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who says he’s proud to be part of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, an archconservative network of Christian congregations. Hegseth recently made headlines when he shared a CNN video on social media about CREC, showing its pastors arguing women should not have the right to vote. He then interviews Deborah Mucarsel-Powell who is an American politician and former academic administrator who served as the U.S. Representative for Florida's 26th congressional district from 2019 to 2021. Mucarsel-Powell was the first Ecuadorian-American and first South American-born immigrant to serve as a member of congress. In 2024 she went up against Rick Scott to represent Florida in the Senate. They discuss the D.C. Takeovers, AI videos, and all the other myriad ways the Trump administration is trying to shift attention and concern away from the Epstein Files. And winding it up, John chats with comedian Rhonda Hansome and listeners about trending topics and current politics.

Hey, do you struggle with snoring, like my producer Chris, he wears a CPAT mask at night, you know, with the air hoses strapped to your face, and it's really loud and disruptive, and I know this because I can hear it up in New York City. If you're snoring now, you're at a heightened risk of requiring a CPAP machine later. So now's the time to try to stop snoring. One of the smartest, fastest, and easiest ways to stop is ZEPA. Zipa's the comfortable doctor-designed mouthpiece that can stop snoring as fast as the first night. Guys, don't be fooled by imitators. ZEPA was proven in a 600 patient clinical trial with over half a million units sold. ZEPA is the stop-snoring device you need to trust. No more being nudged awake for snoring, no more sleeping in separate rooms, tired and foggy all day because you couldn't sleep last night. This could be your last best chance to solve your snoring problem now or face having to wear a CPAT mask later. ZEPA, |
