In this thought‑provoking episode, political commentator, author, capital markets consultant, and media personality Autry J. Pruitt unpacks the state of America through the lens of faith, politics, and national identity. Known for his unflinching candor and ability to bridge divides, Pruitt has built a career challenging the political elite, dismantling identity politics, and defending the principles of limited government, free markets, and personal responsibility.
A former Donald Trump campaign surrogate and Managing Partner at Spencer Pruitt, Pruitt’s resume spans influential media contributions to Forbes, The American Spectator, The Hill, Townhall, and Breitbart. His book, Planes, Steak & Water: Defending Donald J. Trump, written in 2016, is enjoying a resurgence—driven by renewed interest in Trump‑era populism and recent events that have reshaped the political conversation.
Listeners will hear what inspired Pruitt to write the book and why he views Donald Trump’s journey, particularly following the 2024 assassination attempt, as a “come to Jesus” moment. He offers a rare perspective on why he believes Trump’s election in 2016 can be understood through a Christian worldview, while warning about the dangers of absolute political power and the corruption it can breed.
Throughout the conversation, Pruitt speaks with the conviction of a man deeply committed to the American way of life—combining strategic insight with moral clarity. His commentary resonates across political lines, offering both supporters and skeptics a chance to engage with the principles that animate his work.
