Hey folks,

This one got a little unhinged—in the way this whole week has been. I sat down with Joe Walsh and we didn’t hold back. We went from foreign policy chaos to something deeper—faith, hypocrisy, and what happens when people start treating politicians like gods. It’s raw. It’s messy. It’s real.

Here’s what we got into:

  • [00:01:07] We kick things off with Trump’s latest “Strait of Iran” moment—and why it’s more than just a gaffe, it’s a warning sign

  • [00:03:04] Joe breaks down the pattern: break things, “fix” them, declare victory—and why people keep falling for it

  • [00:07:01] The real question nobody in power wants to answer: what did we actually accomplish in this war?

  • [00:10:05] We dig into the attacks on the Catholic Church—and why this is politically dumber (and more dangerous) than people realize

  • [00:18:02] The line that stuck with me: don’t blame Trump for thinking he’s God—blame the people who treat him like one

This conversation covers a lot—war, the economy, the unraveling of MAGA, and the weaponization of faith. But underneath all of it is something bigger: a fight over reality, values, and whether we’re going to let the loudest, most cynical voices define what faith and patriotism even mean. If you’ve been feeling that tension too, this one’s for you. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
