On this edition of Your Call's Media roundtable, ProPublica investigative journalist Andy Kroll discusses how Ziklag, a secret organization of ultrawealthy Christian donors is spending nearly $12 million to mobilize Republican-leaning voters and purge more than a million people from the rolls in key swing states, aiming to tilt the 2024 election in favor of former President Donald Trump.

ProPublica and Documented obtained thousands of Ziklag’s members-only email newsletters, internal videos, strategy documents and fundraising pitches, none of which has been previously made public. They reveal the group’s 2024 plans and its long-term goal to underpin every major sphere of influence in American society with Christianity.

Guest:

Andy Kroll, investigative reporter for ProPublica and author of "A Death on W Street: The Murder of Seth Rich and the Age of Conspiracy"

This segment was hosted by Rose Aguilar and produced by Malihe Razazan.

Shouldn't they be reported to the FBI?

TAKE AWAY THEIR CHARITABLE AND/OR NOT FOR PROFIT STATUS! THIS IS NOT A CHURCH! IT DOES NOT DESERVE ANY TAX EXEMPTION AND NEED TO PAY THEIR "FAIR SHARE"!

As an artist I have boycotted Hobby Lobby for years and encourage others to not shop there. EagleAI is extremely scary and dangerous. How can they be stopped?

The question I have about the automated purge software and purges in general: How do they target me and my people vs. them and theirs?

And still, the main enemy is money. With money, we see that all is possible in the US.
