Folks, after tonight’s debate we all need to be reminded this country has intelligent, capable, and even brilliant political minds. Sadly, none of them seem to be running for President. Exhale. Enjoy this episode and do not miss Peter’s marvelous book: The Death of Politics: How to Heal Our Frayed Republic After Trump
Peter Wehner is an American writer and former speechwriter for the administrations of three Republican presidents . He is a senior fellow at the Trinity Forum. Wehner is also contributing opinion writer for The New York Times, a contributing editor at The Atlantic, and the author of The Death of Politics.
Adam talks to Peter about the role of religion in politics, the decline in church attendance and religious affiliation, the unholy alliance between the Christian Right and Donald Trump and the idea of faith in politics as a whole. Has the alliance between evangelical voters and Trump “come at very high cost to the Christian witness,” as Peter writes? This question and more are explored in Adam and Peter’s engaging and deeply philosophical discourse.
