Project 2026 is Coming For Your Family | Sam Osterhout & Andra Watkins LIVE

Forget about personal freedom. Christian nationalism frames “the good life” as moral obedience.

  • Project 2026 narrows the definition of family into a single, state-enforced model with real legal consequences.

  • Control over sexuality and gender is rooted in fear of temptation, not communal well-being.

  • Expanding religious doctrine into public policy turns private belief into coercive governance.

In this conversation, Sam Osterhout and Andra Watkins dig beneath the surface language of Project 2026 to expose how moral panic gets translated into political power. What emerges is not a culture-war abstraction, but a governing vision that treats human variety as a threat to be managed. The focus on “family” operates less as social support and more as enforcement, disciplining anyone whose life falls outside a rigid template promoted by the Heritage Foundation. By tracing how suppression of desire fuels the impulse to control others, the discussion reframes Christian nationalism as a system built on fear rather than faith. The result is a warning about how easily private theology can become public punishment when vigilance fades.

Tune in for an urgent conversation about how private belief is being weaponized into public power—and why understanding Project 2026 now matters more than ever.
