Summary
Exposing the secret Christian group seeking political power. ‘The Family’ is the oldest Christian Conservative Organizations in Washington D.C. and very secretive. Their goal is not to use Christian feelings to help the poor and the needy, but to concentrate on the ‘key’ people such as politicians and business people. Jeff Sharlet was part of the organization and has published books on his findings. Jeff joined Thom to reveal all and whether this is a cult. ~ The Green New Deal Vs. Neo-liberalism! The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act means we have more people than even in full-time employment and the labor market is threatened by the far-left, according to Elaine Parker. More jobs than people to fill them. Is this all being done on borrowed money? Is it all a Trump con? Elaine Parker, President of the Job Creators Network Foundation joined Thom. - For the Book Club, Thom reads from "It Came from Something Awful: How a Toxic Troll Army Accidentally Memed Donald Trump Into Office" by Dale Beran - Former Congressman Bob Ney reports for Talk Media News.
