Jack Posobiec hosted Christian author Megan Basham on Monday’s episode of Human Events Daily to break down numbers and statistics surrounding the Christian vote in the United States ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Basham authored the newly released book Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda.
Posobiec noted how he has attended various Catholic masses over the weekend, one of which had a priest tell his congregation they should not support either presidential candidate in November. He said that while one is radically pro-abortion, alluding to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, the other is a “very flawed candidate,” alluding to GOP nominee and former president Donald Trump. When the future of Christian and Catholic churches is at stake at the hands of Merrick Garland, the host can not comprehend why any priest would have this stance.
Basham responded with a shocking statistic that over 100 million Christians are planning to sit out this election and 32 million of those are regular churchgoers, research that was reported by George Barna.
“They’re very motivated, typically, to participate in the political process, and they are now saying that they’re not going to vote, that they’re going to sit out. And that is a really big problem,” she stated, adding that “[Barna] actually said this is showing that their enthusiasm is down from 2020 and part of why that is is he found that 36 percent of churches have not taught anything on the civic duty of a Christian to get involved in the political process.” […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
