Ceasefire on Fire
from The John Fugelsang Podcast
John's monologue this time focuses on the US saying it targeted military facilities in Iran after coming under IRGC missile fire, but the ceasefire is still intact. Iran says it fired missiles at American ships after the US attacked its military bases and the ceasefire is a pile of flaming poop. Put them together and it sounds like gas prices are going up some more. Despite the violent volley, Trump still ended the day promising the war would “end within a week”. Next, John talks with the CEO of Moms Rising - Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner and she sheds light on the childcare crisis that many families are facing. With childcare costs exceeding rent in 17 states, it’s clear that the current system is untenable for many parents. Finkbeiner emphasizes the need for a robust care infrastructure, explaining that the lack of affordable childcare is not just a personal struggle for families but a national emergency that affects the economy as a whole. And then finally, John welcomes back the Rev. Barry Lynn. The conversation touches on a wide array of topics, including the skyrocketing gas prices that have left many Americans feeling financially strained. A recent NPR/PBS Maris poll revealing that 81% of Americans are feeling the pinch in their wallets. This financial strain is not just a statistic; it’s a reality that affects families across the nation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
