Al Franken - BEST OF: Tim Alberta on Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism

In this Best Of episode, we revisit our conversation with Tim Alberta, the author of the profoundly disturbing book "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory,” which was released before the 2024 election. In this interview, he explains how evangelicals have been turned into a political tool for the Republican Party.

Alberta grew up in the evangelical wing of The Presbyterian Church and watched as they turned their backs on him after he criticized Donald Trump. How did The Evangelical Church turn so far towards right wing politics? What exactly is an Evangelical? How can those voters ever be won back? - 04/20/2025.

With an uncle and three cousins beings ordained to spread The Good Word. The Pentecostals that are my heritage would be in total disbelief that a sinner like YKW would be herding The Flock. If grave-spinning were a thing, there'd a tunnel to China by now, MOF. The real irony is I know Mormons that believe Elohim chose The Donald too. Hateful ignorance can meld after all. It's like a miracle or something?
