Jennifer Welch, host of the I've Had It podcast and author of the new book "Not Today, Fascists," joins Jim Acosta to tear into Pete Hegseth's "no beardos, no weirdos" Quantico speech and his new Pentagon Office of Religious Affairs. Welch says the list of people Hegseth wants out of the military describes the commander in chief himself, and argues that Christian nationalism was incubating in Bible Belt megachurches long before Trump rode down the escalator. Her book makes the case that this movement will outlast Trump, so pre-order "Not Today, Fascists" now and join Jim and Jen live Monday, Oct. 5 at 6 p.m. ET at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C.
Plus: Democrat Sam Forstag, a former Forest Service smokejumper and union leader, joins Jim on his race for Montana's 1st Congressional District against Trump-endorsed radio host Aaron Flint. Western Montana is Republican turf, but a September Public Policy Polling survey had Forstag up 45-43, and Democrats added him to their "Red to Blue" list of top pickup targets. With Trump's popularity sinking, a win would make Forstag the first Democrat to represent Montana in the House in 30 years.
