This week, we give an update on two stories from last week: the selection of a new prophet for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon church), and the story about a popular evangelical megachurch pastor who sexually abused a teenager when he was her youth pastor.

We also take a look at the broad support - politically and religiously - for two crucial policies at the crux of the budget battle: DACA recipients (or Dreamers), and the Children's Health Insurance Program.

And for our deep dive, we discuss Trump's "shithole" comments and the response to his remarks from prominent evangelical individuals and institutions alike.

Nish recently quit Twitter and has now focused her rage solely for the podcast. We’re sorry and you’re welcome.
