The Family Part 1: It's about Power, Not Love

Karen and Bonnie discuss the book, and soon-to be-released Netflix documentary “The Family: An enigmatic conservative Christian group known as the Family wields enormous influence in Washington, D.C., in pursuit of its global ambitions.”

The secret group in DC laid low for a long time and only insiders knew of them. Until the shtooping. Always the shtooping. In 2008, when senator Mark Sanford disappeared to go “hiking” but was found out to be hiking on his mistress, people learned he lived in a house in DC on C Street. But it wasn’t/isn’t just a house, it’s a group. And boy, do you need to learn about this group. Read Jeff Sharlett’s The Family or “Jesus Plus Nothing” in Harper’s Magazine.
