Summary
In today's podcast - John discusses Pope Francis who has decided to punish one of his highest-ranking critics, Cardinal Raymond Burke, by revoking his right to a subsidized Vatican apartment and salary in the second radical action against a conservative American prelate this month. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to talk about the plans of Trump if he wins in 2024, the life of Sandra Day O'Conner, and latest in the Trump trials. Next, he takes a call from Tony in Pennsylvania on whether Trump is a warmonger or not. And winding it up, John plays clips of Liz Cheney and Lindsey Graham talking about what Trump is planning if he becomes president again. And he plays a clip of Trump at a rally saying elections are still rigged. He takes calls from attorney Marie in Atlanta on Liz Cheney's new book, Sean in California on the evils of Trump, and Rich in Indiana on corporate greed and the fixing of egg prices.
