I discuss the Mueller hearings and Trump's performance earlier this week in front of the young members of Turning Point USA. Then I ponder on the populist themes within Superman's lore and how we could use some of the idealism in his world.
Trade Wars, E3, and Spider-Man:Far From Home
Welcome to the Thoughts for America podcast! The official podcast of thoughtsforamerica.com. Here we discuss the news, political debates, popular culture and so much more. And the best part is we respect all opinions as long as they treat others and our nation with respect.
Today I talk with my good friend and writer Ricardo Kimbers about E3 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I also go over contemporary news stories pertaining to the trade war and Iran.
