One Nation, Indivisible with Andrew Seidel

Andrew and Seth Andrews have been friends for the better part of a decade. On this pod, they invite you into one of the many conversations they’ve had over the years about the organized fight against religion and for church-state separation—but this time, they’re recording it. Stay through to the end for the most fun you’ll ever have in a lightning round.

Noem is out; Markwayne Mullin is in. There are reasons to criticize him, but January 6th is not one. The Supreme Court issues another shadow docket decision that targets LGBTQ kids and grants absurd power to religious parents. Schools may not be the same. Did commanders really tell soldiers we were going to war with Iran to bring on Armageddon? There’s really good reasons to be skeptical. Plus, Talarico wins and says God is nonbinary, WaPo thinks we need evangelicals on the Supreme Court, and those evangelicals lay hands on and pray over Trump in the Oval Office. Ick.

“Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for ‘Armageddon,’ read this” AND YOU NEED TO READ IT.

Andrew’s back and there’s so much to cover: the DOJ withheld Epstein files about allegations that Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl and Trump invades Iran to distract from that story. Trump ruins the Olympics and the US men’s hockey team fails a basic humanity test. Plus, the Supreme Court tariffs decision isn’t what you thought, a federal appeals court botches a decision on the Ten Commandments, and Tucker Carlson interviews Mike Huckabee, our ambassador to Israel, and they talk about the Bible influencing public policy—kind of.

Fish Stark joins Andrew to talk about bringing empathy back to America and how folks can get $1,000 grants for empathy projects that will take place across the country on May 2. This is much bigger than just a single project, this is an answer to the toxicity of Christian Nationalism, MAGA politics, and the division in this country. But it could also be the answer for growing the secular movement. This is the very time Fish and Andrew have chatted and history is lucky it was (mostly) recorded. 
The American Empathy Project. Empathy project guidelines. I donated $100 and hope y’all will too.

If you can’t support AHA or the project, you can still spread the word by sharing the social media videos announcing the project. Or just share them anyway.

Andrew brings back Annika Brockschmidt, friend of the pod, German historian and expert on American Christian nationalism. One year after her first appearance in the inaugural episode, Annika tells Andrew how the US is doing on its slide toward authoritarianism/fascism. A wide ranging and surprising conversation. 
Brockschmidt is a journalist, scholar, and author of Amerikas Gotteskrieger: Wie die Religiöse Rechte die Demokratie gefährdet (roughly translated as “America’s Godly Warriors: How Religious Right Endangers Democracy”).
