  • Out of all the political commentators I follow, John is my favorite. He's able to express anger and frustration with our political climate while still maintaining optimism and empathy.

  • My #1 Podcast

    John, author of NY Times Best Seller-Separation of Church & State, is one of the most generous hosts I have ever heard. He lives his principles daily & has the most interesting conversations with his recurring guests who gives me hope in this current tremulous time.

    Friday’s Indigenous conversations are of great impact to my heart. I can’t get enough. ❤️❤️

  • Great show for smart people!

    I’m sad about the time change and the shows aren’t dropping quick enough. It’s Wednesday late afternoon, when will we get the drop for Wednesday morning show?

    This is basically my go to show now to find out what’s going on in the world. I love the balance of current events, politics, and laugh out loud humor. John has somehow created the perfect mix. It’s also a show that tries to focus on positive versus negative, and pretty sure it will save me during this upcoming election. Listen and learn!... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ilhan Omar, Illegal Immigration, and Illicit Election Scams
Q: What does faith teach us about losing, when democracy requires accepting that we sometimes lose elections?
Matthew Kaemingk describes concession as part of democratic practice and says Christian faith can teach people to remain faithful to their principles without requiring worldly political success. He also says churches can serve as places to practice disagreement and persuasion.
Ilhan Omar, Illegal Immigration, and Illicit Election Scams
Q: What was your immediate reaction to Kate Zakaria's debut, and was it unusually poor for a first day?
Brian Karam says she was late, spoke briefly, took only three questions and presented herself as someone whose role was to amplify the president's wins rather than inform the public.
Musk, Midterms, and the Machinations of Money to Manipulate the Masses
Q: What is the difference between setting a boundary, which is healthy, and giving out an ultimatum designed to control another person?
Zohar says a boundary begins with what a person is willing to accept and do, while an ultimatum or demand tries to control the other person's behavior.
Musk, Midterms, and the Machinations of Money to Manipulate the Masses
Q: Are we getting better at understanding our wounds or are we just getting better at using those wounds to explain our behavior?
Sabrina Zohar says people have broad access to psychological information but often use therapy terms to avoid accountability rather than build connection or change their behavior.
Trump's Taxonomy: Inflation, Invasions, and the Illusion of Diplomacy
Q: Does the First Amendment protect noncitizens who are lawfully present, even when they express political views the government dislikes?
Corey Brettschneider says the First Amendment protects noncitizens as well as citizens. Free expression and access to arguments are essential to democracy, and the Constitution does not withdraw those protections from people because of their immigration status or political speech.
