The John Fugelsang Podcast

John talks about Trump's lust for seizing control of Greenland and how that is playing out on the world stage. Trump spoke at the Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland, receiving a wall of sharp words and condemnations for American foreign and economic policy toward Europe. He also discusses anti-ICE protestors disrupting a sermon at Cities Church in ST. Paul Minnesota where their pastor moonlights as an ICE Director in their local field office. Then, he interviews Larry Cohen who is the Executive Director and Co-founder of Point Source Youth, a national organization working to prevent and end youth homelessness in the U.S. through advocacy, research, and support of scalable interventions like direct cash transfers and targeted housing assistance. And, Erika Hartman, who is Chief Executive Officer at Safe Place for Youth, which provides over 1,200+ young people with critical life-saving services yearly including daily meals, substance abuse counseling, mental health services, and access to housing. Point Source Youth and Safe Place for Youth are expanding the CASH LA Targeted Housing Assistance Program, a cost-efficient, evidence-based intervention that helps young people ages 18 to 30 stay housed before they enter the homelessness system. Next, John jokes with J-L Cauvin who is a community advocate, lawyer, and comedian who is running as a Democrat to succeed Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill and represent New Jersey’s 11th District in Congress. And then lastly, he welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn who's an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and served as the executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State until his retirement in 2017.
