This week David French of The New York Times joins Russell and Clarissa to talk about the Epstein files, why they’re causing such a stir in MAGA and what it could foreshadow about the future of the movement. Then, CT writer Luke Simon joins us to talk about the allure of the popular nicotine product, Zyn, and how our habits shape our hearts. Finally, televangelist Jimmy Swaggart and pastor John MacArthur died this month. CT’s Daniel Silliman stops by to discuss the complexity of their legacies and why so many Christians think “evangelism” is a dirty word.
