John talks about Trump's Gaza Peace deal. The details are still being worked out, but the Awards Season campaign to get Trump a Nobel Peace Prize has kicked into high gear across right-wing news media and the MAGAsphere. Also, John says revenge is a full time job in Pam Bondi's DOJ. A Grand Jury took the bait and has indicted NY Attorney General Letitia James on one count of mortgage fraud, the latest political indictment from "The Enemies List". Then, he speaks with Monte Mader. She's a culture critic, musician, podcaster, and fitness professional whose transformation from conservative fundamentalism to fearless truth-teller has made her a powerful voice for cultural change. Monte's early life was steeped in Christian fundamentalism and conservative politics. She pursued theological studies in Israel and was immersed in environments that emphasized obedience and traditional gender roles. However, personal experiences and critical reflection led her to question and eventually deconstruct these belief systems. Check out her podcast "Flipping the Table" and support her on Patreon at MonteMader. And then, John chats with listeners on Pope Leo condemning economies that marginalize the poor while the wealthy live in a bubble of luxury. Plus, they talk about the latest update on the Epstein files and John's appearance in Chicago for his "Separation of Church and Hate" tour.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Guests: Glenn Kirschner, John Fugelsang, & Frangela
This week, I got to talk with John Fugelsang about his new book Separation of Church and Hate! He shares why he's passionate about taking back the religion of his parents from the way it has been used as a cloak for hate, how it's near impossible to find a quality in Donald Trump that aligns with Jesus' teachings, and ways to lead Christian Nationalists to arguing with God/scripture instead of yourself.Separation of Church and Hate SynopsisTold with Fugelsang's trademark blend of radical honesty, relevant humor, and deep political and religious knowledge, Separation of Church and Hate is the book every American today needs. It is a return to civility, a rallying cry for compassion and clarity, and a reclamation of the values and truths we hold dear, for anyone who was raised Christian but has become disillusioned with organized religion; for Democrats, progressives, liberals, and moderates who are tired of the right wing pretending to own Christianity; for atheists, agnostics, and any one of any faith who's sick of the fundamentalists using religion as a cloaking device for hate; for everyone who's realized you don't necessarily need organized religion to be a good person.For over two centuries, the United States constitution has given us the right to live in a society where church and state exist independently, and without conflict. So why is it that, suddenly, Christianity is being co-opted by far-right groups, politicians, friends, and family members to justify oppressive and unequal policies? And how do we fight back against those acting—literally—in bad faith? In this informative, perspective-shifting guide, Fugelsang takes readers through common talking points and arguments—God condemns abortion, gay marriage is a sin, guns are an ordained right, and more—and exposes their hypocrisy and overall inaccuracy through scripture, philosophy, and plain old common sense.Separation of Church and Hate, a new and critical book from comedian and TV and radio host John Fugelsang—who himself is the child of a former Catholic nun and Franciscan brother—finally offers the answers.

Then, he interviews writer, director, actor, and producer - Tim Blake Nelson. They talk about his new play "And Then There Were No More".

And finally, he speaks with Democratic Columnist Jared Yates Sexton about his latest piece on Substak "A Crisis of Meaning and Purpose: Our Identities Have No Bodies".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Next, John talks about the impacts of the shutdown with Imelda Avila-Thomas. She is the AFGE Local 2139 President, representing workers at Department of Labor Wage And Hour Division in Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas. And finally, comedian Keith Price jokes with the gang about Trump's latest mishigas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Then, he speaks with Canadian writer and musician Paul Myers about his new book "John Candy: A Life in Comedy". Next, John welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to give solid legal advice about what's happening in the Trump legal world. And then winding it up, John jokes with his comedy panel - John Poveromo and Rhonda Hansome - and they take calls from listeners about how to handle life in this MAGA infested world.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
