On the next State of Belief Radio,

With the Vice President suddenly in charge of our government’s Corona Virus Response, what do we need to know about his track record? I’ll ask Tom LoBianco, author of Piety & Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House.

Also, the inspiring response to the spread of the virus from American houses of worship – particularly those serving congregants of Asian origin. Religion News Service Senior Editor Yonat Shimron will weigh in.

Meanwhile, new findings from the Public Religion Research Institute show that nothing seems to shake Trump supporters’ loyalty. We’ll hear from PRRI Director of Research Natalie Jackson.

Another week in the United States of Serfs and Lords.

Youtube shut down my channel and put me in the corner for a week for "violating" the "community standard" of hosting at "Democratic Debate Watch Party."

Seriously. I appealed and they UPHELD THE BAN! Another example of how corporate power OWNS democracy and only let us participate when they're feeling gracious.

Kneel before ZOD!
