YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Pastor Doug Wilson is one of the most prominent advocates for Christian nationalism, the controversial movement to merge church and state. Wilson has spoken at the National Conservatism Conference and opened a branch of his church in Washington D.C., where one of his congregants is Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. But many worry his fringe ideologies are a threat to Democracy.

WSJ’s Aaron Zitner sits down with him to discuss his growing influence under President Trump.
