Summary
Bill Barr is calling for America to become a theocracy... How did Trump become president and leader of this movement when he is so obviously unethical and unchristian? Is the new Koch brothers 'God and Country' AM radio network another step down this road? Cult expert and author Steven Hassan joins Thom to dissect Trump's strategy, and shares his strategy for getting people out of comforting but unhealthy cults like the one conservatives have cultivated for years.
