The Power of Congress, the War Powers Act, and the Power of the Press

About this episode

John discusses the War Powers Resolution, journalistic integrity, and the role of Christianity in politics with various guests.

This time John's monologue focuses on the House passing a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s attacks on Iran as a growing number of Republicans have lost their appetite for economy-crushing war. He also discusses journalist Scott Pelley releasing several statements on CBS News and 60 Minutes following his termination, calling out bias, poor journalistic ethics and stubborn incompetence among newly installed leadership. Then, podcast guru and political commentator Bob Cesca is back to joke about Trump's recent court losses and the critical questions being asked about journalistic integrity and the challenges faced by reporters in an era where sensationalism often redacts the truth. Next, John welcomes back The God Squad with Desimber Rose and Dillon Naber Cruz. They discuss the role of Christianity in contemporary politics, and they challenge the notion that the faith can be co-opted for political gain. And then lastly, legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson gives her perspective on Trump's courtroom battles and answers questions from listeners on current political issues.
