Brad and Dan begin by discussing a terrifying law in Texas that would allow law enforcement to detain people based on any suspicion of them being undocumented. This is frightening in itself, but even more so that the presumptive GOP nominee for president recently said some migrants aren’t “human.”

In the second segment the hosts break down new research from Dr. Paul Djupe on how those who refute the Christian nationalist label identify Christian nationalism as the phenomenon that will save the country. In other words, they refuse to be labeled Christian nationalists while expressing the idea that Christian nationalism is the greatest hope for the country.

In the final segment, Brad responds to criticisms of his Politico article where he points out that the idea of human life beginning at conception is not a settled matter in the history of Christian doctrine.
