Vance & Tim Walz. We break down Vance's appeal to 'common sense' and his outright rejection of expert opinions, connecting it to the long-standing Catholic critique of liberalism that’s been around since Vatican II. We also take a closer look at new data showing an unexpected rise in religious affiliation among Gen Z men, particularly when compared to women, and discuss what this trend means in the current socio-political climate. Finally, we reflect on how religious identities continue to play a crucial role in shaping American politics, especially in the context of the MAGA movement. And before we go, don’t forget to check out our upcoming events in Los Angeles and San Diego—hope to see you there!

0:00.0	Axis Mundi You say trust the experts, but those same experts for 40 years said that if we shipped
0:19.1	our manufacturing base off to China, we get cheaper goods. They lied about that.
0:23.0	They said if we chipped our industrial base off to other countries to Mexico and elsewhere,
0:28.0	it would make the middle class stronger.

0:34.2	self-reliant, less productive in our own nation that would somehow make us better
0:39.2	off and they were wrong about it. And for the first time in a generation, Donald Trump had the wisdom
0:45.2	and the courage to say to that bipartisan consensus, we're not doing it anymore.
0:49.8	We're bringing American manufacturing back, We're unleashing American energy.
0:53.8	We're going to make more of our own stuff,
0:55.5	and this isn't just an economic issue.
0:58.2	That's JD Vance from this week's vice presidential debate
1:01.2	with Governor Tim Wals.
1:03.5	If you notice he talked about common sense, a lot.
1:06.6	He railed against the experts.
1:08.6	It was perhaps not the most headline-worthy aspect of the debate, but it is something for me that was a window into
1:16.5	a long history of Catholic supremacy and Christian supremacy in certain forms.
1:22.2	We break all of that down, along with Dan's reactions to the
1:26.0	debate, and a surprising trend in American religion. Young men are now on the whole
1:31.4	more religious than young women. What explains that, what's behind it, and
