We've all heard about the "wall of separation" between church and state, but the vast majority of Americans have no clue what this means or the context in which it was said. This makes current legislation in LA and OK that much more interesting. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brion-mcclanahan/support

I said this could happen in January this year, and for about 8 years I've been warning about the dangerous tendencies of the political left and their rhetoric.
