Steve Bannon introduces the terms "inclusive nationalism" and "expansionary populism" during an interview with Jason Whitlock.

They argue that when capitalism stops working for the common man, Marxism begins to look like a viable alternative.
The Fellowship's metaphor of the "Wolf King" is applied to Kanye West and Donald Trump, suggesting that religious groups seek to recruit powerful "wolves" to lead the "sheep." West's visit to Uganda, a country with strong ties to The Fellowship and the CIA, is cited as evidence of this connection. The hosts discuss how West appeared to be carrying the group's specific subset of the Gospels during his meeting with the Ugandan president.
