On this episode, our heroes discuss Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr. and the rise of Christian Nationalism. Matthew, Jelani, and Joe discuss Falwell's attempts to re-write his own racist history and his habit of taking everything out of context while accusing his enemies of doing the same to him. God bless us, sort of?
