Trump and "The Blacks"
10 MAR 2024 · Donald Trump's history of offensive language toward Black people is deeply troubling and has sparked widespread condemnation. From referring to African nations as "s***hole countries" to repeatedly attacking Black public figures with derogatory terms, such as calling Congresswoman Maxine Waters "low IQ" and labeling athletes who protested racial injustice as "sons of B's," Trump's rhetoric has been divisive and harmful. His recent language on the campaign trail has particularly troubled many voters. Marcus uses some of these comments as a prelude to next week's Trump-Biden rhetorical analysis.

Christian Nationalism Preview
6 MAR 2024 · Christian nationalism poses significant dangers as it intertwines religious fervor with political ideology, potentially undermining the principles of religious freedom, pluralism, and democratic governance. By conflating religious beliefs with national identity and policy objectives, it can lead to the marginalization of minority groups, the erosion of civil liberties, and the exclusion of diverse voices within society.

In this episode, we're joined by Chuck Nelson, Pastor at The Cross in Erie, and member of Erie City Council, and Drew Himes, Pastor at COTC, Adjunct Prof at Gannon U, Psychotherapist & EMS Instructor at Butler County Community College. Co-host Chuck Cammarata leads this fascinating discussion on what this is and where it's headed.30s
