Allie’s dad, Ron Simmons, kicks off his new twice-monthly "Relatable" series with a hard-hitting look at 2026’s opening headlines: the U.S. military’s January 3 capture of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, who is currently facing narco-terrorism and trafficking charges in New York. His capture was legally justified under precedents like Panamanian President Manuel Noriega’s 1989 arrest, yet despite this, Democrats reveal their underlying hypocrisy and bemoan the terrorist’s capture. Ron also unpacks the ill-fated Minneapolis shooting involving an ICE agent and a 37-year-old woman who was trying to impede federal agents. And he also looks at the White House’s executive order push on housing affordability. Lastly, Ron answers listener questions in his segment Words from the Wagon on enduring faith, politics in relationships, GOP midterm strategy, and more. Direct, fatherly wisdom with a Texas conservative edge.
