The Reunification of Church and State

He then talks about the alarming Supreme Court ruling regarding conversion therapy. He argues against the dangerous implications of allowing such practices to continue under the guise of free speech. He emphasizes the need for states to protect vulnerable children from harmful and discredited therapies, underscoring the broader implications for public health and safety. Then, he delves into the intertwining of religion and politics, particularly through the lens of Christian nationalism. He critiques Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who he argues misuses religious symbols to justify violence and power. His commentary is both humorous and thought-provoking, challenging listeners to reflect on the true essence of Christianity and its divergence from political ideologies.

He is running to be the next Controller for the City of Los Angeles, the chief accountant and paymaster for the city. Next, he speaks with Rachel Laser who's the President and CEO at Americans United for Separation of Church and State. An experienced lawyer, she is an advocate and strategist who has dedicated her career to making our country more inclusive. They discuss major constitutional infractions such as the Depts. Of Defense and Labor prayer services which are an example of the Trump Admin’s increasing Christian Nationalism. And then finally, Comedy Daddy - Keith Price returns to joke with John and listeners about pop culture and Trump's latest mayhem and chaos.
