Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to James Lindsay and Josh Hammer about Democrat Jamaal Bowman’s Soviet-like plan for a hip-hop task force to turn hip-hop artists into a force for pushing progressive propaganda about racial equity; California’s Barbara Lee showing she has no understanding of basic economics by pushing for a mind-blowing $50-an-hour minimum wage; the new trailer for the Rob Reiner-produced documentary on Christian nationalism, “God & Country”; the latest evidence of Joe Biden’s memory problems and cognitive decline; and much more.

Today we're looking again at the story of a Texas mother who is fighting to abort her child, who was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder that is often, though not always, fatal. The debate over this story has blown up, and we give a recap but also double down on the fact that we should not have empathy for this woman's decision to kill her child. Then we take another look at Rob Reiner's documentary on Christian nationalism and the "threat" we face from it. We explain why there is simply no comparison between the looming threat of the progressive agenda versus the few people who have extreme "Christian nationalist" views. Then, Producer Bri joins to talk Christmas music hot takes. --- Timecodes: (02:20) Update on Texas mother seeking abortion (18:09) Jack Phillips & Leftist activists (23:57) Christian nationalism documentary (36:57) "Christian nationalism" example (42:00) What's behind the documentary?

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., has long-held ties to Christian activists and leaders — some of whom are linked to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection and the growing Christian nationalism movement. We explore what those views are, and why they matter in today's political landscape.

This episode: political correspondents Sarah McCammon & Susan Davis, and domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef.

The podcast is edited by Casey Morell. It is produced by Jeongyoon Han. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

Today we're joined again by our friend James Lindsay, founder of New Discourses, to discuss Christian nationalism. We first look at how prominent Christian figures define Christian nationalism and how it's easy for conservative Christians to accept a definition of Christian nationalism that can result in unwarranted control over all Christians. Where is the line between morality shaped by a biblical worldview and Christian nationalism, and who decides which worldview shapes policy? We debate a bit where right and wrong and the basis of law come from, then discuss James' quote-tweet of Allie's Nashville shooting take and why he doesn't disagree with her, he's just weary of the Left's trap to fragment the population. We share the truth behind the trans movement and the false omniscience necessary for that worldview. --- Timecodes: (01:05) Definitions & traps of Christian nationalism (24:13) Morality vs. Christian nationalism (37:04) Reformers (39:20) James quote tweets Allie about Nashville shooting (49:55) Trans movement is the inverse of Christianity (57:30) The body and authenticity/autonomy --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — get FREE bacon, great meat, a secure price, and a bonus of $20 OFF today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

A survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution found that found more than half of Republicans believe the US should be a strictly Christian nation, adhering to the ideals of Christian nationalism or sympathizing with those views. While this remains a minority opinion nationwide, the study also found correlations between people who hold Christian nationalist views and Anti-Black, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, and patriarchal views.

This episode: politics correspondent Susan Davis, politics correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and politics correspondent Ashley Lopez.

This episode was produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. It was edited by Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi. Research and fact-checking by Devin Speak.
