Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thanks for being here. In honor of the 4th of July, our 249th, 4th of July, coming up on 250. Awesome.

We did a special on the TV. By the way, praise God that we're able to do those on the TV, that my bosses are like, yeah, sure, do a country on God and America and Christian nationalism. Go ahead, have fun, like what?

So we did that special on the TV

and we want to give it to you here.

I give my monologue about how America, of course,

is a Christian nation.

And then we did an interview with Dr. Hunter Baker

author of the new book, Post-Liberal Protestants. This is just the first part of the special, so enjoy this.

America, the greatest country in the world.

God, verse country. Got to start off here. Pretty shocking poll, Gallup poll asking,

do you love this country? You're proud of this country? Look at 2001, 87% of Democrats, 90% of Republicans, even that's pretty low.

What's up with the 10% of Republicans who weren't proud to be an American 25 years ago?

But today, look at that.

Democrats, 36%, only 36% are proud of America.

It's gone down 51 points among Democrats, not even proud to be in America.

nicest explanation. I think it's because their entire understanding right now of America is based around

politics and based around their hatred of Trump. So I think that's part of Trump derangement

America and that's much worse. So so what do we do well we need
