Summary

We sit down with Monte Mader — culture critic, musician, and former far-right Christian Nationalist — for one of the most revealing conversations we've had on the show.

Today, she uses that insider knowledge to deconstruct the ideologies, rhetoric, and historical roots of Christian Nationalism with the precision of someone who once lived it.
