A Chintzy Airline and a Glitzy Ballroom

from The John Fugelsang Podcast

John talks about Spirit Airlines throwing in the towel and shutting down permanently saying the price of airline fuel did them in. He also talks about Trump saying in the Oval Office last November: “These are all private individuals that put up a lot of money to build the ballroom,” he added. "Not one penny is being used from the federal government." But now, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a long-term immigration and border patrol funding bill that includes $1 billion earmarked for security improvements accompanying the overall ballroom project. Then, John talks with award-winning political strategist, speaker, and author Atima Omara about her new book "The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (and What We Can Learn from Them)". And finally, comedian Keith Price is back to joke with listeners about current news and pop culture.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
