Summary

Jessica and I sat down to talk about several stories from the past week involving religion and politics. -- -- Tennessee's Lt. Gov. is telling voters to reject an atheist candidate because she's "dangerous." (1:07) -- Even country music stars want nothing to do with Mike Huckabee. (10:40) -- Rep. Blake Farenthold hasn't paid an $84,000 harassment settlement, leaving the bill for taxpayers. (18:25) -- Billy Graham's body didn't deserve to lay in the Capitol rotunda, nor should his statue go up in National Statuary Hall. (23:25) -- The Department of Health and Human Services is a disaster for LGBTQ people. (28:45) -- A bill in Michigan to extend the statute of limitations for victims of sexual abuse is getting resistance from -- wait for it -- the Catholic Church. (37:59) -- There are times when we don't need to condemn people sending their thoughts and prayers, like when actor Chris Pratt said it after director Kevin Smith's heart attack. (43:26) -- Want to coach football at Louisiana College? Make sure your mother isn't Jewish. (49:13) -- Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis just published a book. Should be a very interesting paragraph.

(59:22) -- We answer a listener's question! (1:02:54) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
