## Resource

On Judging Freedom, Max says Israel, evangelical Zionists, and Trump’s inner circle are driving the Iran war, while the Vatican and MAGA revolt expose the whole thing as a civilizational assault dressed up as “negotiation.” And while Trump’s base revolts, Max reveals that Trump will appear that day at a Bible-reading marathon before his most loyal followers.
