I'm joined by first-time guest Rick Pidcock to discuss JD Vance and his multifaceted role as a religious and political candidate. We explore Vance's connection to the Traditional Latin Mass and figures like Harrison Butker, Patrick Deneen, and Steve Bannon, delving into the implications of their shared emphasis on 'order.' We cover the intersection of masculinity, politics, and religion, including the influence of bodybuilders and the broader conservative evangelical world. Our conversation also touches on the implications of Vance's statements about family and voting, and the support he receives from groups like the Heritage Foundation. Finally, we consider the complexities introduced by his marriage to Usha Vance and how it fits into his public persona.
