I want to get back to the Ridgerunner and the the town that's being built, which I assume is a fascist Christian theocracy.

That's what the the TV news in national.

This has been on my mind. It's on my mind every day.

She was determined to see what they were about. a healthy natural human way of life, the Christian way of life.

The people backing these developments are very wealthy if you follow Newounding. And that takes you to Nate Fischer.

I've put millions of dollars into it.

And does your wife obey you?

Yes.

And why are you a Christian?

To fulfill that Genesis 1 dominion mandate. Fill the earth and subdue it. Take dominion.

Has Christian nationalism come to Jackson County? While Diana Naf, the Gainesboro local, was doing her deep dive to figure out who had come to her town and what they really wanted, she came across yet another podcast. It was an interview with Nate Fiser, the head of Newfounding, the venture capital firm helping build the far-right community near her home. It was pretty early on. Um Nate Fischer, he was asked by an interviewer,

tell me about the Highland Rim project. We own some land. We'll be buying more land and we're helping orchestrate moves of aligned people to the area and then it'll be a particular town where we'll actually have a lot.

That town was of course Gainesboro, Diana's town. Nate Fischer being asked by a reporter, "What you're doing there in, you know, in Gainesburgh and Jackson County sounds a lot like what was done in Moscow."

Like Moscow, Idaho in the east is kind of what it sounds like.

And he says, "Yes, there, you know, there are parallels there.

A lot of parallels to that."

Moscow, Idaho, a town more than 2,000 miles away from Gainesboro.

Did you know about Moscow before that? No, it sent me researching and learning about Moscow.

Moscow, Diana discovered, had been the start of an ambitious experiment, a prototype. And Gainesboro, it turned out, was meant to be the next iteration. And if folks in Gainesboro wanted a glimpse into one possible future, if Ridgerunner, the developer, did plant its flag and gather its people, they could look to Moscow. It certainly gives you a precient vision of of what this could become.

Precient, yes, and alarming. But from this portal into Moscow, Diana also saw another way to fight back. From Bloomberg News, I'm Maraban Knight reporting along with Susan Burfield and you're listening to Our Town. This is chapter 3, one little bacon wrapped sausage. The town of Moscow sits among the pine forests of the Northwest. In the 1800s, the town went by Hog Heaven, then Paradise Valley. Now it's Moscow, spelled like the Russian city, yet pronounced Moscow.

It's home to the University of Idaho. But the town is also known for something else. Division. In Moscow, a town of about 27,000, there are two kinds of people. those affiliated with Christ Church and those who are not. Christ Church is a deeply conservative evangelical and patriarchal denomination that has royd the university town. Take a walk down Main Street. It's only six blocks and you can see the divide with your own eyes.

There's seemingly two of everything. Coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores. One for Christ Church members who call themselves Kirkers and one for everyone else. Sometimes you can tell this from flags or signs in the windows. All work no woke for kirkers. Black lives matter or a pride flag for everyone else. Kirker comes from the Scottish word for church, kirk. And their goal, their church's goal has always been to turn Moscow into a town of Kirkers, a town under biblical law.

Happy 4th of July, Moscow.

Celebrate your freedom. Freedom. How blessed are we?

My reporting partner Susan and I went to Moscow in the summer of 2025 for July 4th.

LET'S GO. USA. USA. For the fourth year in a row, Kirkers put on their own parade right down Main Street. It was the only Fourth of July parade that day.

In years past, protesters had lined the route, but not this year. This year, it was the absence of the rest of Moscow that was noticeable. The only businesses that stayed open on Main Street were Kirker. The people who came to watch seemed mostly Kirker. Kirkers have a strong entrepreneurial spirit. They've started lots of businesses and schools in Moscow. And while Kirkers remain a minority in the town, their presence to some can feel outsized and disruptive, to others downright threatening.

Christ Church and Moscow have been in a years'sl long battle over well almost everything. CO requirements, taxes, zoning, even this parade. And standing along the route, smiling proudly, was the man who could take credit for cleaving Moscow in two, the head of Christ Church, Doug Wilson. Wilson is tall with piercing blue eyes, a gray beard, a very grandfatherly presence. He was there alongside his wife Nancy, the church's matriarch, watching the parade go by. 50 years of hard work on display.

Wilson has gotten a lot of attention lately inside and outside Moscow. One big reason is that he's made himself the deacto spokesperson for Christian nationalism, the movement to turn America into a theocracy, for Christians to take over everything.

He's one of the rare American Christian pastors who is willing to engage on questions of culture and politics. We are honored to have him. His name is Doug Wilson.

It's an honor to be here. Thank you.

Thank you.

This is Doug Wilson on Tucker Carlson in 2024. his first appearance.

So, I'm sincerely confused by the phrase Christian nationalism, which seems like an attack on Christianity to me.

Um, what is it to the extent you understand it? And are you a Christian nationalist?

So, I'm willing to be a Christian nationalist because

Okay.

Because I prefer that phrase to the phrase I usually get called.

What do you usually get called?

White supremacist. You know,

white supremacist,

slave advocate, you know, racist. Wilson rejects all those labels except of course Christ
