Bishop urges mercy for immigrants, Trump calls her 'nasty'Reuters, By Steve Holland and Jeff Mason, on January 22, 2025https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-attends-prayer-service-gets-an-earful-immigrants-lgbt-youth-2025-01-21/This conversation highlights a striking moment in political and social discourse, where a religious leader felt compelled to speak out and remind a president, in this case, Donald Trump, to have compassion for others. The discussion centers on the disconnect between those in power, their words, and how they affect vulnerable communities. The episode explores how people like Trump, who lack introspection, have risen to power and whether such figures should be trusted with significant authority. There's also a deeper commentary on the current state of democracy and the unsettling trend of unqualified individuals reaching top political positions.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.05.4 featuring Phoebe Rose,  Helen Greene, and Aaron JensenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.
