Summary
John discusses the recent actions taken by Republican legislatures across the country after the Supreme Court's decision to weaken the Voting Rights Act. He explains how these changes are not just political maneuvers, but direct attacks on the democratic process itself. He also talks about the FDA blocking studies which found Covid and shingles vaccines safe. HHS officials say serious side-effects from vaccines were rare. Then, John talks to podcast star Bob Cesca about Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who has released a long-term immigration and border patrol funding bill that includes $1 billion earmarked for "security improvements" for Trump's ballroom. Next, The God Squad returns to share their insights on the moral responsibilities of faith communities in the face of political injustice. They emphasize the importance of standing against racial gerrymandering and the need for churches to take an active role in advocating for voting rights. And finally, John speaks with legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson and they chat with listeners about the need for accountability in the wake of alarming behaviors exhibited by Trump, including a statement from a group of mental health professionals calling for his removal from office due to his deteriorating mental state.
