The Jack Berkovits Show - May 16, 2025 - Politics, Belief, and Scandal: A Conversation with Peter Shurman
In today’s episode, Jack is joined by Peter Shurman for a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation. They begin by exploring Peter’s dynamic career in radio and politics, before Jack shares a personal story about his niece. The two then dive into current events, discussing the serious charges faced by five hockey players in a sexual assault case. The conversation expands globally as they analyze Donald Trump’s recent visit to the Middle East—debating whether the plane he arrived on signals a bribe—and the broader implications of Trump-era tariffs. Back home, Jack weighs in on Parliament Hill politics and speculates on the future of the NDP. The episode concludes on a more personal and reflective note as Peter shares his beliefs about God, while Jack challenges him with questions about his life journey and worldviews.
