Rep. Jared Huffman: Pete Hegseth Is Preparing for a Religious War
Summary
Congressman Jared Huffman joins Joe Pritikin to discuss his book, "No Profits," which examines the rise of Christian nationalism in American politics. Huffman analyzes how radical religious factions, including "rad trads" and charismatic evangelicals, influenced the January 6th insurrection and threaten democratic norms. The conversation explores the theological underpinnings of these movements, the political reluctance to confront them due to "Christian privilege," and the urgent need to defend church-state separation.
