## Resource

John's monologue in this episode: after voters in Virginia chose a Democrat-led voting district map, a Republican judge woke up and said “not on my watch.” Apparently, the fate of the midterms will be determined in the courts. Then, he discusses Amnesty International's annual report, "The State of the World's Human Rights". Spoiler Alert - USA gets a failing grade and there are calls for resistance in this pivotal moment for humanity. Then, John welcomes the return of Bob Cesca and they chat about redistricting, the midterms, and Trump's tariff refunds. Next, Dillion Naber Cruz of The God Squad joins the show to talk about the evils of White Christian Nationalists. And closing it up, legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson speaks with John and listeners about SCOTUS and Trump's courtroom issues.
