In this episode of The Big Roundup, Bill Thomas discusses a range of pressing news topics, including a significant military exercise involving the U.S., Japan, and South Korea aimed at North Korea, China's response to accusations regarding the Ukraine war, and political developments in New York City following a controversial endorsement by Governor Kathy Hockel. The conversation also touches on economic news, including corporate developments and government spending, as well as a nostalgic look at the reunion of the Love Boat cast.

Great listening practice for ESL students and English learners.
