Among the consequences of this "gem" are the fact that nursing education past the BSN level will no longer be eligible for student loans(!!). Congressional reps didn't even know this was happening - Let's make them aware! With a shortage of 300,000 nurses right now, and a need for more Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Nurse Midwives, Nurse Anesthetists (sorry Dana...that one can be a tongue twister), and nurse leaders & researchers, NURSES ARE A SKILLED PROFESSION.

Simon and Julie joined John to talk about Native American Heritage Month — a month that exists because Indigenous leaders spent more than a century fighting for recognition. From Dr. Arthur C. Parker (Seneca) in the early 1900s to Red Fox James (Blackfeet) riding state to state in 1915, the movement grew until Congress and President George H. W. Bush made November the first official Heritage Month in 1990. Every president upheld it… until Trump, who called it “radical and wasteful”.They talk about what this month means, what allies should and shouldn't do, and why leaders like California Governor Gavin Newsom are urging the country to embrace Indigenous values as a way forward. They also take calls from listeners.Simon Moya-Smith is an Oglala Lakota and Chicano journalist. He's a contributing writer at NBC News and TheNation.com. He's the author of the forthcoming book, ‘Your Spirit Animal is a Jackass,' and he is an Adjunct Professor of Indigenous Studies at the University of Colorado Denver.Bluesky: @SimonMoyaSmith.bsky.socialJulie Francella is a mental health professional with over 30 years of experience in handling complex trauma with Indigenous youth and families.

Joe Sudbay fills in for John again while he is on his cruise. He talks about the major election victories in New Jersey, Virginia, New York, Maine, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, California, Georgia and elsewhere as voters took to the polls for an off-year rejection of Trump Administration policies. He also discusses the tantrums coming in from Trump and company. Then, he speaks about the election with Maine Secretary of State Shenna Lee Bellows. Next, Joe interviews Dr. Louise Archer who is a Polar Bears International Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto Scarborough. Her research combines ecological modelling and bioenergetics to understand how polar bear populations will respond to rapid Arctic warming and resulting declines in sea ice. And lastly, he chats with Alex Lawson who is the Executive Director of Social Security Works, the convening organization of the Strengthen Social Security Coalition -- a coalition made up of over 340 national and state organizations representing over 50 million Americans.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joe Sudbay guest hosts again. He runs down the election tallies as the results come rolling in. Democrats scored victories in the four major races of the night: the New York City mayoral race, the governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia, and Prop 50, California's redistricting ballot measure. Exit polling showed voters went to the polls with worries about the economy on their minds, coupled with broader discontent with the state of the country right now. He is joined by Dean Obeidallah, Michelangelo Signorile, and Comedy Daddy Keith Price to discuss the live election results as they happen with check-ins from across the electoral map from good friends and expert guests.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joe Sudbay guests hosts while John is on his California cruise trip. Joe discusses Trump's Halloween glitzy Great Gatsby party - flouting lavishness while millions panic over SNAP benefits being constrained. He also talks about the major elections happening in New Jersey, Virginia, California, and New York. Then, he speaks with Jessica Mackler who is the president of EMILYs list. EMILYs List is backing both Democratic governor candidates (Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia), as well as women candidates in every top red-to-blue flip opportunity in Virginia's House of Delegates races. In the last Southern state without an abortion ban, this year, Virginia's House will determine if voters can protect reproductive freedom through a constitutional amendment. And then finally, Joe interviews Alejandro Varela. His debut novel, The Town of Babylon was a finalist for the National Book Award. His latest novel, Middle Spoon, was published by Viking on September 9, 2025. His novels and stories take public health topics — from systemic racism to gentrification to sexuality — and make them accessible and memorable. Varela is an editor-at-large of Apogee Journal, and holds a masters degree in public health from the University of Washington.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John talks about Trump's gaudy, pretentious ballroom - where he hopes to someday hold campaign rallies for his 3rd term. He also discusses the massive apathy from Republicans over the masses of people who are going hungry due to Trump withholding SNAP benefits. Then, political strategist Max Burns is back to talk about the upcoming elections, the destruction of the White House, and the non-functioning congress that refuses to even do their jobs. And winding it up, John welcomes back retail analyst Burt Flickinger to discuss how Trump's interruption of SNAP benefits will harm not just individuals - but also our economy in a spiderweb effect.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella joined John for a spooky-season conversation that blended truth, history, and humor. They talked about Halloween, Día de los Muertos, and how Indigenous traditions honor those who came before us.They also tackled headlines that can't be ignored:Vice President J.D. Vance's harmful claim that Indigenous peoples practiced “widespread child sacrifice”, and why that myth has deep colonial roots.The Blackfeet Nation's buffalo and elk harvests to feed families during the government shutdown: a powerful act of food sovereignty and self-reliance.And the real “scary story” is how rhetoric from leaders continues to erase Indigenous truths while tribal nations keep showing what leadership looks like.Listeners called in with great questions, including Kendall, who got into a heated debate about mascots! Spoiler alert: Viking mascots were mentioned and Simon dropped a few "cabron" and "pendejo" bombs! It was an episode about myth-busting, survival, and remembering that even in spooky season, truth has power.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The 2 D.C. federal prosecutors, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, were locked out of their devices and placed on leave just hours after filing a sentencing memo in the case against Taylor Taranto, a former Jan. 6 defendant who went to President Obama's house after Trump revealed Obama's home address on social media.

Description: The number of people who have said, ‘Jen, you and John Fugelsang should have a conversation' is approximately one thousand. So naturally, we thought, let's have that conversation where a million listeners can tune in and enjoy it too. Strap yourself in for a wild ride as Jen Hatmaker chats with the ever-entertaining comedian, actor and broadcaster, John Fugelsang, host of the Tell Me Everything series on SiriusXM Progress and The John Fugelsang Podcast.  In this episode, they tackle the delightful chaos of breezy topics like Christian nationalism, the real teachings of Jesus (spoiler: it's not about power), and why love trumps all—literally. With his signature blend of humor and razor-sharp insight, John dishes on his book, "Separation of Church and Hate," and why it's time to take back the Bible from the fundamentalist fun police. Get ready for a conversation that's as enlightening as a Sunday sermon, but way more fun. Whether you consider yourself religious, spiritual, atheistic, or just allergic to hypocrisy, THIS is the episode for you.  Tune in, laugh, and maybe learn a thing or two! Thought-provoking Quotes: “I think the largest growing demographic we don't talk about is people who were raised religious but now consider themselves spiritual. They're not turned off to spirituality or God or Jesus or belief. They love the great mystery, but they're really turned off to the hypocrisies and the cruelties and the meanness of so many church communities in this country.” – John Fugelsang “ was raised to believe that Christianity was about the stuff that Christ taught and commanded: service to others, humility, love, acceptance, empathy, forgiving your enemies, turning the other cheek, replacing eye-for-an-eye. And the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 25, that individuals and nations are going to be judged by how they care for the poor, care for the sick, welcome the stranger, and care for the incarcerated. That's the stuff Jesus actually talked about.” – John Fugelsang “American Christians have been manipulated with all this homophobia, all this hatred of immigrants and none of that comes from Jesus and it's been done by a political movement that is only about power. Conservative Christian power, not the teachings of Christ, not the religious freedom, not fighting Satan, conservative Christian power.” – John Fugelsang “If Jesus spoke in parable and metaphor, why is it so hard to view the Bible as parable and metaphor? We get so hung up on proving the facts of the Bible that we miss the truth of the Bible. And the Bible has a lot of truth. It does not have a lot of facts.” – John Fugelsang Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds by John Fugelsang - https://amzn.to/4husQF3 Tell Me Everything with John Fugelsang on SiriusXM - https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/john-fugelsang John's Links: Website - https://www.johnfugelsang.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnfugelsang/ Twitter - https://x.com/JohnFugelsang Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/john.fugelsang.9 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@JJbirdsong1 Substack - https://johnfugelsang.substack.com/ Podcast - https://www.johnfugelsang.com/podcast Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

John talks about U.S District Judge Sarah Ellis ordering CBP honcho Greg Bovino to meet at her courthouse every day to report on immigration actions in greater Chicago. The ruling comes just a day after the Trump Administration quietly handed full control of immigration enforcement to CBP after ICE leadership fell short of deportation quotas. He also talks about the government shutdown. Dozens have states have sued the Trump Administration over the suspension of SNAP benefits which start on November 1st. Then, John speaks with Emmy winning journalist Dexter Thomas about his show - "Kill Switch" which is a tech podcast about living in the future today; a survival guide to modern culture; and a show that exposes the true systems listeners rely on daily - from AI and privacy, to the strange and absurd corners of the internet. Next, John interviews Renee Hopkins. She is CEO of the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives, developing a safer Washington state and supporting the legislation to make that happen. In her six years at the Alliance she has led the organization to become the leading state-based gun violence prevention organization in the country; passing three ballot initiatives, electing a gun violence prevention majority in the state legislature, working with systems partners to develop best practice models for implementing gun laws, and passing state laws that put Washington state at the forefront of suicide prevention and domestic violence laws as they relate to firearms. Renee has experienced the scourge of gun violence first-hand including the tragic loss of her brother Arnie in a school shooting in 1996. The rounding it out, Comedy Daddy - Keith Price is back once again joking with John and talking common sense to the Evil Army of the Night.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John talks about a mixed bag of Trump absurdities: congressional republicans are following his orders and ignoring the government shutdown, Trump boasting about his recent MRI and mental fitness, and Trump telegraphing his proposed military actions against Venezuela. Are narcoterrorists the new WMD's? Then, Professor Corey Brettschneider returns to discuss the legality of a president's emergency powers and the government's slow, steady dissection of America's basic civil liberties. Then winding it up, comedian Rhonda Hansome joins John to talk about current news and answer questions from listeners on how to cope in MAGAland.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John discusses Trump calling off trade talks with Canada after an ad aired in Ontario featuring Ronald Reagan's critical thoughts on tariff policy. Canadian PM Mark Carney said in response he'd have an easy time finding trade partners in Asia instead. And he talks about the Pentagon announcing it had killed 6 people in yet another airstrike on a fishing vessel in the Caribbean, adding that an aircraft carrier is being sent to the region which is a major escalation of an already egregious American military buildup. Then, he interviews social gerontologist Jeanette Leardi on her latest book "Aging Sideways: Changing Our Perspectives on Getting Older". Next, John speaks with former EPA Scientist Dr. Tracy Woodruff on her declaration that the U.S. is “fast-tracking chemicals that cause cancer, infertility, and brain damage”. She says this undermines public health and defies Trump's "Make America Healthy Again" goals. And lastly, TV's Frank Conniff returns to joke with the gang about Trump's latest corruption and tantrums.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella discuss the government shutdown and the White House's planned $300 million ballroom project, coming at the same time SNAP benefits are being cut and the GOP moves to gut VA healthcare. The impact on Indian Country is expected to be severe, with nearly one in four Native households relying on SNAP.

John discusses 7 to 8 million Americans hitting the streets in over 2,700 locations nationwide for the second No Kings protest last Saturday. In response, Pumpkin-face posted an AI generated video to social media depicting himself in a fighter jet marked “KING TRUMP” which he then gleefully flew over protesters in dumping bombs of diarrhea on their heads. He also talks about an appeals court ruling which has cleared the way for the National Guard to begin operations in Portland. Next, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to talk about his experience interviewing people in New York at the No Kings Rally and the controversial appeals court ruling that is allowing Trump to send troops to Portland. Then closing it up, John jokes with comedians Myq Kaplan and Rhonda Hansome and they take calls from the Evil Army of the Night.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party have the backing of Evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians. But if you read the Bible or listen to the teachings of Jesus Christ, it would be clear that their policies are anything but Christ-like. We're joined by comedian, radio host, and NYT bestselling author John Fugelsang to discuss his new book, “Separation of Church and Hate.”  Fugelsang shares his unique perspective as a Christian who was raised by a former nun and a Franciscan Brother. He shows the disconnect between what far-right Christians claim Jesus taught versus what he actually said in the Bible. Jesus promoted peace, love, compassion, and mercy... None of which are evident in today's Republican Party.  We also break down many social issues that right-wing Christians use their faith to justify. Jesus advocated against the death penalty, provided for the poor, and never once said that homosexuality is a sin. Not to mention abortion, which was weaponized in the 1980s to consolidate power under Ronald Reagan.  We hope this interview can help you engage with right-wing Christians in a civil way by pointing to actual scripture, which might help them see the contradictions and lies that their party embraces.

In a remarkable set of events, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of the six representatives chosen by House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy to sit on the January 6th Commission. McCarthy chose Ohio Rep, Jacketless Gym Jordan who not only voted to overturn the election AFTER the insurrection but has repeatedly made up insane shit about the FBI being responsible for the riot. While Rep Indiana Rep Jim Banks, another MAGA blowhard has spent his time asking why Pelosi didn't do a better job of protecting the capital. This is akin to putting people who believe 9/11 was an inside job on that commission. Complete and total idiocy. Well, Pelosi kicked them all in the ass and now they got nothing. Later, SiriusXM's John Fugelsang joins Mea Culpa to discuss the creepiness of Jim Jordan and why the Evangelicals still love Trump.
