In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad and Dan reflect on the political legacy of the late Jimmy Carter, examining his commitment to the separation of church and state, his dedication to social justice, and his consistent evangelical values. They contrast Carter’s humble integrity with the modern complexities of figures like Elon Musk, whose wealth grants him outsized influence in government.

Brad and Dan also analyze the fractures within the MAGA movement, highlighting the growing tension between traditional populist factions and technocratic elites. The episode concludes with a discussion on Chief Justice John Roberts' concerns regarding judicial independence amidst the potential for authoritarian overreach by the Trump administration.
