This week, Dr. Nolte discusses how different views of human nature form the roots of political divide between conservatives and progressives. He also examines the Christian view of human nature, and how that relates to conservatism and progressivism. 

I know we're all sick of the Coronavirus, so this week, Dr. Nolte catapults us forward in time to discuss what he thinks the general election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump will look like in November. He discusses what their main campaign focuses will be, and the strategies each will use to attempt to defeat their opponent.

The world has changed dramatically over the past several weeks due to the Coronavirus, and COVID-19 has become a focal point of many of our lives. This week, Dr. Nolte discusses what we know, and don't know, about the Coronavirus, and analyzes everything in a calm but thorough manner. If you're stuck at home, this is the perfect time to listen and share this with your friends and family. We don't want the Coronavirus to spread, but we definitely want this podcast to! Also, remember to wash your hands and look to the CDC for information on how to protect yourself and your loved ones.

In this episode, Dr. Nolte's producer asks him questions about headlines that have been in the news over the last couple of days. The four questions discussed are whether Bernie Sanders can win the general election, why Russia would be meddling in his campaign, what's going on in the Israeli elections, and whether the nuclear family was actually a mistake (a reference to the recent article by David Brooks).
