The White House is facing backlash for posting an AI image of Donald Trump as the Pope. Was it a careless joke or a calculated distraction? The most extensive study of its kind finds that the world's largest Muslim country far outranks the United States in human flourishing, and also explains why secular elites are discovering a new respect for religion. But is there more than a practical purpose behind faith? Historian Beth Allison Barr is back to discuss her latest book, “Becoming the Pastor's Wife.” She says expectations for ministry spouses aren't rooted in Scripture but in a reaction to feminism in the late 20th century, and Barr explains how marriage replaced ordination as the way for women to serve the church.

It's Holy Week, and an article in the New York Times argues that Palm Sunday wasn't a worship procession; it was a protest march. With that theme in mind, Christians held peaceful rallies over the weekend in Philadelphia and San Diego to protest inhumane immigration enforcement policies, including the order allowing government agents into churches during worship gatherings to arrest people. Skye talks to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) about how her faith informs her politics, what lessons the Democrats have learned from their losses in 2024, and why more religious Americans view her party's brand as “toxic.” Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn then debrief the interview and discuss whether the Democrats' struggle is just messaging or something deeper.

In a major and unprecedented shakeup to the U.S. military's leadership, U.S. President Donald Trump removed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Brown in late February, while announcing his intention to replace Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the head of the U.S. Navy. The personnel changes have been framed as part of an effort to eradicate "woke ideology" from the U.S. military. It is not a coincidence, then, that Brown is Black and Franchetti is the first woman ever to command a U.S. military service branch. But the Trump administration's attack on efforts to address historical injustices for minorities and women - known as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, initiatives - goes beyond purging people of color and high-ranking women officers from the chain of command. As part of this agenda, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has also proposed a radical departure from the U.S. military's approach over the past decade. Though a slow-moving institution that is far from progressive, the Defense Department has undertaken a series of reforms to be more representative of the country it serves. That has included things like adopting a plan to implement the Women, Peace and Security Agenda, updating its harassment policies and protecting its employees from discrimination. Since taking over as defense secretary in late January, Hegseth has articulated his commitment to "restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military, and reestablishing deterrence." Along those lines, he announced the creation of a Restoring America's Fighting Force Task Force charged with "overseeing the Department's efforts to abolish DEI offices and any vestiges of such offices that subvert meritocracy, perpetuate unconstitutional discrimination, and promote radical ideologies related to systemic racism and gender fluidity." This task force and other envisaged reforms are all aimed at eradicating "wokeness" from the U.S. military and Defense Department. This agenda reflects Hegseth's retrograde and patriarchal vision of the U.S. military. But his justifications for all of these measures are often invented or based on false premises. These misrepresentations are aimed at portraying the U.S. military as hamstrung by politically correct overreach. In both his public comments and his highly critical book about the U.S. military, Hegseth has castigated "woke" generals and policies that, he argues, undermine the military's effectiveness. For example, during his Senate confirmation hearings in January, Hegseth cited personal interviews conducted while writing his book to assert that commanders are expected to "meet quotas" in order to increase the number of women in the ranks. That practice, he added, was one of many "direct, indirect, overt and subtle" ways that the U.S. military has changed its standards to accommodate women recruits. Hegseth had previously asserted that women should not be present in ground combat operations, stating in November, "It hasn't made us more effective. Hasn't made us more lethal. Has made fighting more complicated." Hegseth's statements make it seem as if women have been coddled by the military in order to goose their numbers, to the detriment of readiness. Hegseth's remarks play well to Trump's base, but they aren't just for public consumption. They have real implications for the well-being of U.S. servicewomen, as well as for women in countries where the U.S. military is active. On both counts, however, he is demonstrably wrong. As Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand pointed out during his confirmation hearing, there are no quotas for women in the infantry. That is a politically expedient lie for Hegseth and his allies. With regard to standards, for instance, retired Army Lt. Col. Ellen Haring told NPR, "Not only have standards not been lowered, but when they first decided that … they were going to open combat jobs to women, the services were given three years to actually set standards because up until that point in time, standards had...

Professor Hal Singer then joins, jumping right into an assessment of the “chaos and anxiety” spurred by the Trump Administration's economic and employment policies of destroying the federal government, and the long-term ramifications of straight up deleting financial protections for Americans, before shifting to the topic of Trump's indiscriminate tariffs, and his guiding strategy in all negotiations (domestic or foreign) of all stick-no carrot. After expanding on the shady relationship between Trump and his Big Tech crypto backers – particularly in the wake of an announced crypto reserve – and the dearth of economic theory to back his ongoing agenda, Professor Singer wraps up by highlighting the Democratic Party's need to return to policies centered on uplifting the working class' economic and labor power. Next, Cea Weaver and Emma dive deep into the ongoing push for a rent freeze for NYC's nearly one million rent-stabilized units, walking through the role it has already played among the Democratic primary in this year's Mayoral race, with myriad candidates coming out in support of a data-backed plan to reverse the tide of overwhelming rent inflation that has been, and threatens to continue to push out native, working-class New Yorkers. After expanding on the diverse and expansive coalition of constituents involved in this fight, and exploring how, exactly, rent-stabilized units are hit by rent inflation (hint: Andrew Cuomo), Weaver wraps up with a final assessment of the current state of the NYC Mayoral race, and what a ranked ballot could look like. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder as they work through an early assessment of 2028 Democratic hopefuls in the wake of Gov. Gavin Newsome's insane decision to debut his podcast via an amicable interview with Charlie Kirk, Kowalski from Nebraska gives an in-depth agricultural and economic update, and John from Montreal unpacks the torpedoing trust and approval of the United States abroad. The MR Team also watches noted crypto hawk Kirsten Gillibrand refuse to condemn Andrew Cuomo, and dissects the censuring of Al Green with ten Democrats voting across party lines, plus, your calls and IMs!

In this conversation, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) discusses various political topics, including her analysis of Trump's recent speech, the impact of tariffs on the economy, and the strategies Democrats need to adopt to win back voters. She emphasizes the importance of addressing key issues such as public safety, support for Israel, and the need for a two-state solution in the Middle East. Gillibrand also highlights the challenges of anti-Semitism on college campuses and the necessity for Democrats to communicate effectively with constituents about their concerns. Be sure to check out the On Brand with Donny Deutsch YouTube page. There you will find all of Donny's conversations in video form. Takeaways: Trump's speech was divisive and ignored middle-class issues. Tariffs will significantly raise costs for American families. Democrats must listen to constituents to address their needs. Public safety and economic issues are crucial for voter outreach. Winning back voters requires focusing on everyday concerns. Support for Israel remains a priority for many Democrats. A two-state solution is still a viable option for peace. Anti-Semitism on campuses needs to be addressed urgently. Democrats must prioritize effective communication strategies. It's too early to predict the 2028 elections; focus is on 2026.
