Trump Should go ‘Full Lincoln’ on the Democratic Party. Pope Leo, Tucker Carlson, Islam, Open Borders etc… Eric Metaxas Talks to John Zmirak

In this provocative episode of *American Conservative University*, Eric Metaxas and guest John Zmirak engage in a fiery, satirical, and ideologically charged discussion on the state of American conservatism, the Catholic Church, and the perceived radicalization of the Democratic Party. Drawing parallels between Abraham Lincoln’s wartime actions and a call for modern conservatives to 'go full Lincoln'—including suspending habeas corpus and arresting political opponents—Metaxas and Zmirak argue that the Democratic Party has become a totalitarian, anti-patriotic force akin to the Nazis and communists in Weimar Germany. They accuse the current Pope of being a left-wing Chicago radical influenced by figures like David Axelrod, and claim the Catholic Church in America has been corrupted by globalist elites, federal funding, and complicity in immigration smuggling. The hosts also condemn organizations like Catholic Charities and the Southern Baptist Convention for allegedly serving as fronts for progressive agendas, while celebrating the historical influence of George Whitefield and the Great Awakening in shaping American identity and the Constitution. Amid the chaos, they advocate for a return to natural law, Christian morality, and a rejection of secularism, all while using dark humor and hyperbole to underscore their alarm over cultural and political collapse.
