The broadcasts have been called "a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture". His chief topics were political and economic rather than religious, with his slogan being Social Justice, first with, and later against, the New Deal.

By 1942, with the U.S. fully committed to the war, Coughlin lost his momentum completely. He continued his radio show and publishing his newspaper, Social Justice, until the Roosevelt administration forced the cancellation of both. Coughlin continued on as a parish priest until retirement in the 1960s.
