An unknown country singer with a fake name has skyrocketed to the top of the charts with the song \\u201cRich Men North of Richmond,\\u201d and the film \\u201cThe Sound of Freedom\\u201d has become one of the top-grossing movies of the year. These sleeper hits were both fueled by the MAGA media and conservative audiences. What do they say about the movement and the divisions in American culture? Then, Skye talks to Kaitlyn about the launch of her new book, \\u201cThe Ballot and the Bible,\\u201d and the way political movements have used and abused scripture throughout American history. She also explains how George W. Bush and Barack Obama used the Bible very differently during their presidencies, and the surprising reason Obama cited scripture far more often. Also this week\\u2014backyard billionaire wrestling, China hires full-time adult children, and a three-year-old with the worst superpower ever.
