Summary
King Charles is now the King of England, but does his reign usher in a new secular age and the reduced influence of the monarchy as a result? Why is it that people, even those against Christian nationalism and white privilege, respect the royal family? Jon talks about both these questions in today's episode.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Conversations I Matter Podcast. I'm your host John Harris. I hope you |
| 0:16.8 | will indulge me a short episode on the Royal Family. I know I'm late to the game |
| 0:21.6 | because everyone else has been talking about this over the weekend. |
| 0:24.0 | I missed my opportunity though because I scheduled some podcasts. The ball was already rolling and I thought, |
| 0:29.4 | well I'm not going to jump in the way and mess everything up. I'll just on Tuesday weigh in. So here I am on |
| 0:35.6 | Tuesday weighing in. And I just want to make a few observations. One is that it's odd to me, it's inconsistent to me to view all the pomp and circumstance we did over the |

| 1:07.0 | what they consider to be Christian nationalism which is this idea that |
| 1:10.2 | Christianity should have an effect on the country that I mean that's really basically what it means in their mind any kind of |

| 1:46.3 | ends up being the defender of the faith the official religion of the nation in |
| 1:50.3 | England that's all that's awesome. I mean that's celebrity stuff. We need to get the |
| 1:56.5 | paparazzi over there and why is that what is up with that? There's not a word of criticism to Queen Elizabeth except from some |
| 2:07.3 | folks on Twitter that are really far left and I would suggest they're probably more |
| 2:10.4 | consistent than some of the majority of I would say |
| 2:13.6 | leftist who may give a Queen Elizabeth a pass for some odd reason. She has |
| 2:18.5 | almost universal support and recognition and respect. Her son, King Charles, of course, is not as respected. In fact, I saw |
