Transcript

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.

Do not hesitate in picking up a copy of Peter’s latest book, The Death of Politics: How to Heal Our Frayed Republic After Trump

Discussion about this podcast

Dirty Moderate

Dirty Moderate showcases the people who cut through the nails on a chalkboard din of the modern-day American political scene. We promote rigorous analysis and lively debate with individuals on both sides of the aisle and beyond. Our host, Adam Epstein, is a Tony Award-winning former Broadway powerhouse who can go toe-to-toe with anyone on politics as he did on Trish Regan Primetime on FOX News every Thursday night in 2019 as the lone non-conservative panelist delivering his centrist perspective with grit, intellectual prowess, and undeniable charm. Past guests of the podcast like Repiblican strategist, Stuart Stevens, Congressman, Adam Kinzinger, Author, John Pavlovitz, and Correspondent, Trish Regan all range in perspective by design, and no two conversations are alike, but the one vitally important thing all of our guests have in common is they fight like hell for Democracy. • Produced by Blurry Cowboy Media • Theme Song by @brettgarrisonepstein • Subscribe to Substack at www.dirtymoderate.com • Tweet the Show: @dirty_moderate
