Journalist Gil Duran explores the strange alliance between JD Vance, Silicon Valley and Christian Nationalists.
Experts say they are converging on the same anti-democratic playbook. From the Seven Mountains Mandate to "Network State" projects like Highland Rim, we expose how figures like JD Vance, Peter Thiel, and Doug Wilson are planning a theocratic-technocratic future.
Gil Duran speaks with Prof. Matthew Boedy, author of "The Seven Mountains Mandate: Exposing the Dangerous Plan to Christianize America and Destroy Democracy": Buy it here: https://www.wjkbooks.com/bookproduct/0664269214-the-seven-mountains-mandate/
