In this episode, we explore the recent memorial service for Charlie Kirk, which turned into a significant event for Christian nationalists.

From the involvement of Trump and his administration to the divisive rhetoric of speakers like Stephen Miller and Tucker Carlson, this episode highlights the ongoing struggle between different visions of American Christianity and nationalism.
