    Trump is a Broken Man Breaking a Nation

    In this episode of The Common Good, host Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse dive into a difficult but necessary conversation: the profound internal brokenness of Donald Trump and how that personal fracture is manifesting as a national crisis. For years, we have analyzed the policies, the tweets, and the political maneuvers. But today, we look deeper. We explore the idea that the chaos we see in our streets, our courtrooms, and our communities is a direct reflection of a leader whose own character is defined by a lack of empathy, a disregard for truth, and an insatiable need for self-preservation. When a leader is unable to model wholeness, the nation they lead begins to splinter. Inside the Conversation: • The Anatomy of Brokenness: Why Donald Trump’s personal character isn't just a "private matter," but a public health hazard for our democracy. • Mirroring the Chaos: How a presidency built on grievance and division trains a citizenry to treat one another with the same hostility. • The Moral Reckoning: Why people of faith and conscience must move beyond "lesser of two evils" thinking to demand leaders who are fundamentally whole. • Pathways to Healing: If the nation is breaking because the leadership is broken, how do we begin the work of repair from the ground up? The "Common Good" isn't just a political goal; it’s a spiritual and social necessity. Join Doug and Robb as they unpack why America’s recovery depends on moving past the era of the broken man and toward a future of shared integrity.

    America Turn Against Rump's Corruption

    Corruption vs. The Common Good The tide is turning. This week, Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse dive into why more Americans are walking away from the Trump administration’s "loyalty over law" culture. It’s not just politics—it’s a moral reckoning. Why the shift? • The "Easter Miracle" Narrative: Calling aggressive military moves "divine acts" is backfiring with voters of faith. • Pay-to-Play Politics: From the DOJ to global trade, the line between public service and personal profit has vanished. • The Resistance Surge: State leaders and former allies are finally saying "enough" to federal overreach. Listen now and join the movement to put the Common Good over corruption.

    Trump's Easter Message Drives Away the Faithful.

    On this episode of the Vote Common Good podcast, Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse unpack one of the most jarring Easter messages ever delivered by an American president.   Instead of a message of peace, Donald Trump used Easter morning to issue a profanity-laced threat against Iran—warning of attacks on power plants and infrastructure and declaring the country would be “living in Hell” if it didn’t comply with U.S. demands. He even ended the message with the phrase “Praise be to Allah,” adding to the confusion and controversy.     Throughout Easter weekend, Trump and members of his administration framed military actions in explicitly religious terms—calling a rescue mission an “Easter miracle” and invoking faith language to justify war.     Doug and Robb ask the deeper questions: •What happens when religious language is used to justify violence? •How are people of faith responding—including some of Trump’s own allies? •And what does this moment reveal about leadership, morality, and the future of the country?   This conversation connects Trump’s Easter message to a broader pattern—escalating threats, blurred lines between faith and nationalism, and a presidency increasingly defined by chaos, contradiction, and crisis
