Faith, Politics, and Fracture: America at a Crossroads

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Christianity, Michael Smerconish, JD Vance, MAGA

Is the United States a Christian nation — and should it be? Michael breaks down Vice President JD Vance’s explosive comments at Turning Point USA, sparking a national debate over faith, identity, and the Constitution. He also examines the very public conservative infighting between Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Steve Bannon, raising questions about whether the movement’s biggest gathering is a political asset or liability. Plus: why CBS spiked a 60 Minutes segment, what that says about media power, major political and cultural headlines shaping the moment, and a year-end reflection on what truly unites America.
