The Air and Space Expo at the Las Cruces International Airport was one of the most entertaining shows I’ve seen in years.
I hadn’t been to an air show since I was a kid, and was surprised to feel the exact same thrill now as I had then watching an airplane nosedive toward the ground, only to pull up at the last second and gracefully loop back into the sky. Today's guest Charlton Taylor (Atheist), Jack Turney (Catholic), and Randy Harris (Agnostic) explore the rising influence of Christian Nationalism, White Christian Nationalism, Project 2025, and The Seven Mountains Mandate. We touch on the history, the goals, and the methods employed by these religion driven groups. We evaluate the explicitly stated intentions of these groups and their plan to sway government leaders and voters away from constitutional democracy as we know it, and towards full scale theocracy.

Stuart Kelter interviews Elizabeth Rosner, the author of three novels, a poetry collection, and two books of nonfiction, all of which have won literary prizes. Her debut novel, The Speed of Light, published in 2001, was translated into nine languages and won literary prizes in the US and Europe. Blue Nude, her second novel, published in 2006, was selected as one of the best books of the year by the San Francisco Chronicle. Her third novel, Electric City published in 2014, was named among the best books of the year by NPR. Her poetry collection, Gravity, also published in 2014, plumbs the deep complexities of trauma inherited from her Holocaust survivor parents. Survivor Café: the Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory, was published in 2017 and was a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award and was featured on NPR and in The New York Times. Rosner’s new work of nonfiction, Third Ear: Reflections on the Art and Science of Listening, is the subject of today’s interview.
