Has the Nation Lost Its Faith? Divisions and the Future of the Right | The American Mind Podcast

A week on from midterms, America faces serious threats to its hard-fought liberties. Eric Metaxas joins the hosts to discuss his latest book commemorating the triumph of 1776, Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World. In contrast to the progressives’ disdainful narrative, Revolution presents a more admiring story of America’s faith-inspired, world-transforming rebellion. Meanwhile, JD Vance has weighed in on the Right’s defeat at the midterms, naming the Iran War and America’s relationship with Israel as primary causes. Has the Right fractured in advance of 2028 primaries, and what could a lame duck Trump administration look like?
