The Muckrake Political Podcast

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman went live immediately after the first night of Republican National Convention and give their reactions to the speeches. Plenty of religiosity abound as Trump was hailed as a touched by God for surviving the assassination attempt over the weekend, as well as a lot of shouting in an attempt to convince themselves what they were saying made sense.

God. This is all terrible. Donald Trump survived an apparent assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Nick Hauselman and Jared Yates Sexton sort through the developing news, react in real-time, and discuss what we might see in the next few days.A reminder: Monday night we'll be broadcasting live following the end of the first night of the Republican National Convention, which...should be interesting.

Nick is out for the week, so Jared Yates Sexton welcomes Rev. Angela Denker, a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church and author of Red State Christians and the forthcoming Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood. Jared and Angela discuss the basis and historical context of Christian Nationalism, a leaked Trump executive order using "religious freedom" as a weapon to reshape the country, and how the Catholic and evangelical churches are being radicalized by political authoritarians.To gain access to the full episode and support the show, head over to Patreon and subscribe today.

Perhaps by now you've heard it just wasn't a good night for Biden, as he stumbled and mumbled his way across a landscape of confused answers on each topic from taxes to medicare. Trump, while lucid, continued to lie his way through virtually the entire thing.
