Summary

It's almost impossible at this point to keep up with Donald Trump's lies and corruption, but co-hosts Nick Hauselman and Jared Yates Sexton do their best.

Also, author Katherine Stewart stops by to talk about her book The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism and the threat posed by members of the administration and weaponized religion.
