Despite the Joke and the Diet Coke - When You Suffer a Stroke You Cannot Stay Woke

from The John Fugelsang Podcast

John talks about Trump’s repeated declarations of imminent deals with Iran, questioning the credibility of his statements as he seems increasingly detached from reality. He highlights Trumps bizarre behavior during public appearances, including falling asleep on stage and his weird drugged demeanor. John also discusses Trumps ​new ​nominee ​for ​Director ​of ​National ​Intelligence, ​Jay ​Clayton. ​And ​if ​you're ​wondering ​what ​intelligence ​experience ​Clayton ​has ​that ​qualifies ​him ​to ​oversee ​your ​country's ​entire ​intelligence ​apparatus, ​the ​answer ​is... ​he ​went ​on ​CNBC ​this ​week ​and ​hinted ​that ​California ​elections ​might ​be ​rigged. Next, Ann Larson, author of "Clean Up on Aisle Five," joins the conversation, shedding light on the struggles of grocery workers during the pandemic and the systemic issues of poverty and exploitation in the food industry. Together, they explore the implications of corporate greed and the urgent need for a living wage for essential workers. Then, Simon Moya Smith and Julie Francella, return for another edition of "We're Still Here". One of the standout moments in the episode is the discussion around the upcoming House of Smoke and Ash event, organized by the James Beard Foundation. This indigenous culinary event showcases the rich foodways and traditions of native chefs, emphasizing the importance of food sovereignty and the need for greater recognition of indigenous contributions to our culinary landscape.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
