The Gaslit Torch of Liberty

The Gaslit Torch of Liberty

John talks about Trump's move to prioritize the resettlement of white South African refugees in the United States even as he has turned away refugees from countries including Afghanistan and Haiti has sparked allegations of hypocrisy and a double standard, as well as questions about who is footing the bill for the new arrivals. He then talks about Republicans in the House Energy and Commerce Committee advancing legislation that adds steep cuts to Medicaid and Medicare as part of the big, single budget bill demanded by Trump. To find $880 billion in cuts, they seek to impose work requirements, penalize states that offer Medicaid to immigrants, and shorten the ACA enrollment period. The cuts will drop more than 10 million people from Medicaid and leave more than 7 million Americans completely uninsured. Then, he speaks with Democratic strategist Max Burns about Trump tariffs and his failed trade war. Next, Desimber Rose and Dillon Cruz of the God Squad return to discuss the crossroads between politics and Christian Nationalists. And winding it up, legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson speaks with John and listeners about Trump's systematic destruction of our security, Constitution, and way of life.
