The team discusses the reaction from the grassroots all the way up to the Department of War, and takes some carefully-aimed shots at the "Bad Boomer" Roger Goodell. Congressman Brandon Gill explains how Republicans can pass the SAVE Act even without killing the filibuster — meaning there's no excuse for them not to do it.

The left is getting children and even kindergartners to join nationwide "walkouts" to protest ICE. Meanwhile, at the Grammys, stars denounce America as a nation of "stolen land," and the mayor of Boston says the entire planet has the right to move to America. Everything about this works in concert: It's a bid to use highly emotional images and rhetoric to delegitimize America. The show team unpacks the agenda, then talks to Rich Baris about an unfortunate special election down in Texas.

In this episode, Allie confronts the growing accusations of “Christian nationalism” against conservative Christians, especially over immigration enforcement and support for ICE, by responding directly to viral posts from progressive Christian figures like Ben Cremer and John Pavlovitz. She defines what Christian nationalism actually is (and isn’t), explains why every worldview inevitably shapes law and public policy, and lays out a biblical case for national borders, pro‑life laws, and a Christian view of government. Allie exposes how progressive Christians often conflate the kingdom of God with America, misuse “welcome the stranger” passages to justify open borders, and deploy toxic empathy and inflammatory rhetoric that unfairly paints white evangelicals as the source of America’s problems. Progressive Catholics aren't safe either, as Allie highlights Catholicism's social justice problem by examining statements by figures like Pope Leo XIV. This episode is a must‑listen for anyone wrestling with the debate over Christian nationalism, the Anti-ICE riots in Minnesota, abortion, biblical justice, and politics in the church.

Last spring, Charlie appeared on Doug Wilson's Man Rampant podcast to talk about the intersection of Christianity and masculinity. Charlie tells the story of his ideological evolution and how he moved past a focus on pure economics to fight hard on tough cultural issues, and how he believes the ongoing evolution of young men will eventually transform the rest of society in its wake. It is one of Charlie's fullest articulations of his beliefs and the core objectives of his life's work.
