Sarah Posner is the author of UNHOLY: How White Christian Nationalists Powered the Trump Presidency, And the Devastating Legacy They Left Behind. Her 2008 book, God's Profits: Faith, Fraud, and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters, explored the unholy alliance between the Republican Party and prosperity televangelists.

Kevin Richberg and I have become friends over the past few years since the old show died. Kevin was a long time listener and we often emailed back-and-forth during the old show days but he really showed up as a genuine friend like so many of the rest of you did when that show and period of my life ended.

I quickly learned as I have about so many of you, how intelligent and educated, passionate and kind, as well as very funny Kevin is.

His official bio is :

Co-owner of Slate Hill Edible Forest in Central New York, a 27 acre fruit orchard, biodiversity collection, and experimental farm focused on adaptation to a changing climate. Kevin has advanced degrees in chemistry and molecular biology from Caltech and MIT. Before going into farming full time he spent 10 years of his life on a massive worldwide exploration of 122 countries. Kevin's current projects at Slate Hill Edible Forest include an apricot breeding program, restoring old school hard cider cultivars, and a 300 Fruit Variety Living Maze.

His website is: slatehilledibleforest.com

Bill Boyle is a well sourced and connected businessman who lives in Washington DC with his wife and son. Bill is a trusted friend and source for me who I met after he listened and became a regular and highly respected caller of my siriusxm radio show. Bill is a voracious reader and listeners love to hear his take. I think his analysis is as sharp as anyone you will hear on radio or TV and he has well placed friends across the federal government who are always talking to him. As far as I can tell he is not in the CIA. Follow him on twitter and park at his garages.

Join us Thursday's at 8EST for our Weekly Happy Hour Hangout!

0:00.0	Hi there. It's Wednesday, and I am here and excited to have you here. I've got a great conversation with Sarah Posner, who is an author, investigative journalist, and an expert on Christian nationalism. Her book, Unholy, how white Christian nationalists power the Trump presidency
0:21.8	and the devastating legacy they left behind is as relevant now as it has ever been. Great
0:29.1	conversation with Sarah. That is coming up at 27 minutes in. Also on the show, a bonus
0:34.0	conversation with Kevin Richberg and Bill Boyle. Boyleberg, Bird Boyle. Two smart guys who have
0:40.3	become friends. I'm real good friends with both them and I always love talking to them. They're
0:44.9	excellent at expressing themselves at odds in many ways with how they see the spectrum of where we're
0:52.3	at right now, but very much, obviously, similar in their values
0:57.0	and their thoughtfulness. Real smart conversation with Bill Boyle and Kevin Richburg also coming

1:08.8	from yesterday coming up, some clips for for you and we'll get to those
1:12.6	conversations. Let's start with the major news that Trump said in the Oval Office last night.
1:18.6	He would abide by court rulings. I mean, that's what he said. Is he currently? I don't think he may be.
1:25.1	Will he? Maybe not. He'll just say he is.
1:28.6	But it's still something.
1:30.2	It's something.
1:31.2	I'm not going to call it a big win or a triumph, but it's a leak in the dam.
1:36.2	I don't know.
1:36.8	A lot of excellent scholars think we're in constitutional crisis right now.
1:41.3	I think Kevin and Bill both do.
1:43.1	Lawrence O'Donnell doesn't.
1:45.2	Lawrence Tribe does.
1:49.8	So I don't really know what a constitutional crisis is. If we're in one, we're in one. If we're not,
