When an Adult Child Veers Off Path

On this episode of “Relatable,” Allie’s dad, Ron Simmons, breaks down the new U.S.-Israel military operation, Operation Epic Fury, against Iran, explaining why he believes it’s necessary in light of Iran’s long history of sponsoring terrorism and oppressing its own people — especially women — under radical Islamist rule. He also unpacks the shake-up at the Department of Homeland Security, detailing former Secretary Kristi Noem’s controversial $220 million ad campaign and her reassignment, as well as the nomination of Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) to lead in her place. Ron touches on rising gas prices, global oil dynamics, and GOP political battles in Texas. He also answers listener questions on parenting, building a strong Christian home, and tensions within the conservative movement.
