When Politics Meets the Pulpit

Send us a message!!! Jeezy and Manny are holding it down this week for what might be Season 3’s most spiritually grounded episode yet.

This week: Trump declared war on Pope Leo XIV, calling him "weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy," then posted an AI image of himself as Jesus Christ. The Pope, from a plane over Africa, responded: "I have no fear of the Trump administration." JD Vance warned the Pope to "be careful" about theology.

The boys have thoughts. Also: Pickle of the Week goes to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth (allegedly quoting a fake Bible verse in a speech) and FBI Director Kash Patel (reports of drinking on the job, lawsuit threats).

Plus: Manny’s spotlight on OpenAI’s 13-page industrial policy blueprint, and Jeezy’s spotlight on Trump’s Ibogaine executive order, signed, allegedly, because Joe Rogan sent a text. Support the show 🎤 Listen: | linktr.ee/pardonthepolitics | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube
