Summary

We often talk about the compromise amongst the Christian elites/leaders, but we need to talk about when and why this happened. Today, Daily Wire reporter and journalist, Megan Basham joins the show to explain it. We discuss influential people who were once trusted evangelical leaders such as David French, Russell Moore, as well as mainstream outlets like The Gospel Coalition. This episode is extremely illuminating. If you’ve wondered how we got here, then you need to watch this episode!

Even gelical elites, uh, the devolution of David French, who if you've been watching Cooper

0:12.4

suffer a long time, you know, is how much shopping bought. And we have a guest today,

0:17.2

Megabashim. It's going to be killer as we talk about what in the world is going on in

0:21.7

what we call Big Epa or the evangelical leads, etc, etc. It's going to be an absolutely

0:27.4

Welcome back to Cooper stuff. We got to guest today. Megabashim from daily wire and I'm super excited.

0:49.3

I have about a five million questions, but I thought it would be great. First just to start,
