Christian nationalists want to turn America into a theocracy, a government under biblical rule.

If they gain more power, it could mean fewer rights for you.

I'm Heath Drusen and on the new season of Extremely American

I'll take you inside the movement. Listen to Extremely American from Boise State Public

Radio, part of the NPR Network.

Trying to declare the official song of the summer isn't a new sport,

but this year feels like the first in a while

where the field's been so crowded and featured so many irresistible contenders.

The pop girls like Charlie XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and Chapel Roan are hitting left and right,

Country Twang with Post Malone, Morgan Wallin and Shaboozy, has taken over the charts,

and many viral memes have emerged as we settle into the sweaty dog days of the season.

I'm Stephen Thompson and I'm Aisha Harris and good luck babe it's

rap summer here on NPR's Pop culture Hour, so don't go away.
