**Tribute to a Music Legend and a Look at the Complexities of Politics**

On the show, we're paying tribute to the late Frank Beard, the legendary drummer for the iconic rock band ZZ Top. Beard's passing at the age of 77 has left a void in the music world, and we're joined by Rick Lewis, a musician and friend of the band, to reflect on his life and legacy. But it's not all music this week - we're also diving into the complexities of politics, from the latest election results to the ongoing tensions with Iran.

We're discussing the implications of President Trump's recent comments on Iran, including his suggestion that the US should make the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States. We're also exploring the nuances of the US-South Korea relationship, including the recent decision to pull back on military exercises with South Korea. And in the world of politics, we're analyzing the results of the Wyoming primaries, where 13 members of the Freedom Caucus lost their seats.

We're also talking about the upcoming US Senate election in South Carolina, where Darlene Graham, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, is running to permanently take his seat. But her lack of knowledge on a fundamental national security issue - the US relationship with Taiwan - has raised concerns about her qualifications for the role. And in the world of sports, we're discussing the proposed new stadium for the Denver Broncos, and the concerns about parking and tailgating.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that covers it all - music, politics, and sports. Listen to the full episode to hear more about Frank Beard's legacy, the complexities of US foreign policy, and the latest news from the world of sports.
