On this week's edition of Copeland's Corner, Brian welcomes comedian, author, and commentator John Fugelsang to discuss his new book, "Separation of Church and Hate," and the dangers of Christian nationalism in American politics. The conversation explores how religious teachings are distorted for political power, the history of Christian activism versus authoritarianism, and the importance of reclaiming compassion and humility in public discourse.

Then on Headliners on the Headlines, Nicole Boxer and Jim Vallely join Brian and John as they dive into the government shutdown, the weaponization of misinformation, and the cult-like dynamics of MAGA politics. They debate the future of media, the rise of AI in entertainment, and the ongoing struggle for truth and empathy in a polarized society. The episode wraps with personal stories, industry insights, and a few laughs about classic movies and TV.
