Jones, founder and president of the <a href="http://prri.org">Public Religion Research Institute</a> to unpack the rise of White Christian Nationalism and its dangerous impact on America. They discuss Project 2025, the growing influence of white evangelicals, and how nationalism is reshaping U.S. politics. Dr. Jones dives deep into the history of Christian nationalism, its role in fueling extremism, and the challenges it poses to American democracy. He opens up about the unsettling alliance between religion and politics, the racial tensions escalating in the nation, and what&#8217;s at stake for America&#8217;s future. </p><p><strong>ABOUT JOY REID:</strong><br>Joy-Ann Lomena Reid (AKA Joy Reid) is a best-selling American author, political journalist and TV host.
