A conversation about power, fear, nationalism, and the rewriting of American history.
Keri Ladner returns for a conversation about the rise of Christian nationalism and the mythology surrounding America’s founding.
We discuss the Religious Right, the Seven Mountain Mandate, January 6th, white extremism, and the growing influence of authoritarian politics inside evangelical culture.
The conversation also turns toward immigration, fear, nationalism, neo-confederacy, and the role of powerful tech figures shaped by apartheid-era politics and ideology who are reshaping public life in America and beyond.
