In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad Onishi sits down with Congressman Jared Huffman to discuss his new book, No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism. Huffman shares his journey from growing up in a devout Mormon community to becoming a humanist and the only openly non-believing member of Congress, and explains how the rise of Trump and Christian nationalism pushed him to speak publicly about the dangers of religious extremism. They discuss the New Apostolic Reformation, January 6, the religious forces surrounding Trump, Mike Johnson, the influence of Christian nationalism in Congress, Christian Zionism, traditionalist Catholicism, and why the separation of church and state is increasingly under threat. Huffman also explains why he believes saving democracy will require religious and nonreligious Americans to work together—and why, even in a deeply troubling political moment, he refuses to give up.

Glenn welcomes back Brian Tyler Cohen, a prominent social media voice and co-host of the Legal Breakdown series. Together, they unpack a recent development: Donald Trump's push for the Department of Justice to revive a baseless prosecution against innocent Olympian David Hearn. Glenn and Brian talk about the implications of this move, highlighting a disturbing trend of using the DOJ as a tool for personal vendettas, rather than upholding justice.As they explore the legal ramifications, Brian emphasizes the egregiousness of targeting an innocent man, particularly when evidence points to a botched job rather than vandalism. The conversation then transitions to Brian's new book, "The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World", where they discuss the urgent need for accountability and a roadmap for the future once Trump is out of power. They tackle critical actions that Democrats must take, including eliminating the filibuster, expanding the Supreme Court, and implementing the National Popular Vote Compact to ensure every vote counts equally.With a call to arms for listeners, they stress the importance of staying engaged in the democratic process, especially as midterms approach. Justice, they assert, is a team sport, and it requires all of us to participate actively.Find Brian Tyler Cohen on social media at @BrianTylerCohen and grab his book "The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World" at your favorite bookstore.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In breaking news, the first and only suit has been filed to have a federal judge declare once and for all that newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche's grant of “immunity” to Trump, his 400+ companies and family, from being audited or prosecuted for tax evasion is illegal and a crime. Popok explains why the fight to oppose Blanche was so important as a referendum at the midterms, and how federal judges, like Judge Brinkema in Virginia, are the last firewall to protect our Democracy from Trump and Blanche's abuse of power until the midterms.

The journalist Michelle Lhooq joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss her reporting on ibogaine, a psychedelic that has recently been embraced by the right—including President Donald Trump. They talk about the movement to promote research into ibogaine as a treatment for mental illness; the unlikely coalition of drug advocates, Republican politicians, and veterans who helped bring the drug into the political mainstream;  and Trump's executive order expediting the F.D.A. approval of psychedelic therapies. They also discuss how the politics of psychedelics have shifted over the years, and whether the success of the ibogaine initiative could signal a broader shift toward the acceptance and legalization of more psychedelics and other drugs. This week's reading: “Are Psychedelics Right-Wing Now?,” by Michelle Lhooq “The Delusions of John Roberts,” by Margaret Talbot “The Great Delegalization,” by Dara Lind “A.I.

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Jordy, and Brett dissect Trump's rambling  and dangerous Oval Office event on childhood vaccines, including bizarre claims about "vats" of vaccine being "pumped into your child's body" and moments where he visibly struggles to stay awake on camera. They dig into the U.S.-Iran standoff grinding into its fifth month with the Strait of Hormuz still closed, Iran's defiant new list of demands, and a Pentagon scrambling to resupply weapons stocks depleted by the war. The guys also cover mounting economic warning signs at home — soaring gas prices, a Strategic Petroleum Reserve at a 43-year low, and even Republican pollsters sounding alarms ahead of the midterms — plus reports of military families confronting Navy leadership over grim conditions aboard the USS Lincoln. Ben, Brett, and Jordy go through all this and more!

Headlines for August 11, 2026; Bryan Stevenson on the “Enduring Evil of Slavery” and Trump’s Attempt to Rewrite History

Journalist Gil Durán argues that a small circle of Silicon Valley billionaires and venture capitalists have concluded that democracy is in their way — and that they should be governing in its place. Durán traces their fringe ideologies from blogs, manifestos and private talks straight to the White House. “The weird stuff these guys say in their blogs or in their speeches is not just eccentric fluff. Because they have so much money, they can turn these weird ideas into policy and cause tremendous damage.” His book is The Nerd Reich. Also, Ken Tucker has a 50th anniversary appreciation of the Sparkle soundtrack. Loosely based on the girl group The Supremes, the 1976 film starred Aretha Franklin and the music was written and produced by Curtis Mayfield. Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.
