Summary

What's spookier than talking about religion? Talking about politics. šŸ‘» So let's dive right in. This week, I'm not just sharing my political opinions (though I do a bit of that)—I'm talking about talking about politics: why it feels like such a landmine, whether it’s even productive, and how I try to navigate it all. Correction: In this episode, I mistakenly said that Donald Trump was convicted of sexual assault. He has not been criminally convicted; a civil jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation in the E. Jean Carroll case. Another note: The government shutdown wasn’t completely Trump’s fault, but the bill written by Republicans — and backed by the White House — left out the health insurance subsidies Democrats wanted, which made a shutdown much more likely.

I'm your host, Haley Rawl.

0:46.7

I hope you had a very happy Halloween.

0:49.8

I hope it was safe and it was fun.

0:52.1

I am actually talking about one of the spookiest topics of all today.

0:57.9

So we're stretching out the spooky Halloween theme just a little bit. I am talking about

1:03.5

politics. Trigger warning politics. I am going to talk about some of my political opinions, my thoughts on policies,

1:13.1

political figures, but actually for the most part, I am going to be talking about talking

1:18.9

about politics. Because I think in this current political climate, it's something that's

1:24.8

very top of mind for probably everyone. It just seems increasingly

1:30.2

unavoidable part of all of our lives. And I think obviously we should all be politically active

1:37.2

at all times anyway, but there's something about a Trump administration that just brings a lot

1:42.8

of things to the forefront. And it feels like,

1:45.2

yeah, just more important to talk about. So I know I'm talking about this from the perspective

of someone who has a platform to some degree, but I hope that it's also relevant for anyone

1:58.1

listening because we are all put in positions where politics come up. Do we discuss

2:03.3

politics at the dinner table with our family members who may think differently? What if someone
