Operation: Ethics Blurry

Operation: Ethics Blurry

In the latest episode, Jon Fugelsang takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through the current state of American politics, focusing on two major topics: the escalating conflict in Iran and the chaotic Republican primary in Texas. As the Pentagon reports casualties from military actions, Fugelsang emphasizes the lack of clarity regarding the U.S. government's strategy in the region. He highlights the disapproval among Americans regarding these military actions, with a staggering statistic showing that only one in four citizens supports the strikes against Iran. Alongside Fugelsang is podcaster Bob Seska, who adds his unique perspective to the discussion. The duo delves into the implications of the recent Senate votes that have allowed President Trump to wield unchecked power in matters of war. They explore the constitutional responsibilities of Congress and the alarming trend of Republican senators siding with the President rather than upholding their duties as checks and balances. Next, The God Squad is back to discuss the cross between religion and politics. And finally Dr. Tracy Pearson joins the crew to give her legal expertise to listener's questions.
