Summary
JD Vance flies to Islamabad for the highest-level US-Iran talks in nearly fifty years. Trump blocks the Strait of Hormuz. And Joel Berry says the war is probably nowhere near over. Jeremy, Joel, Jon Lewis, and Ryan Chase also debate whether freedom can actually be exported, why Christians who disengage from politics have bad theology, the time Jeremy told a room full of progressive Christian do-gooders he was using government money to kill the gays, and why Project Hail Mary is a rebuke of everything Christian filmmakers are doing wrong. 00:00 Intro: Artemis Splashdown, Iran Ceasefire & Project Hail Mary 01:43 Is the Iran War Actually Over? 03:29 Trump's Strategy: Blocking the Strait of Hormuz 05:45 American Reassertion: Cuba, Venezuela & China 07:19 The Man in the Arena (The House Buying Analogy) 10:51 Congress Is Vestigial: The Problem with Governing by Executive Order 12:54 Trump's Legacy: Mopping Up Reagan's Evil Empire 14:13 Can You Actually Export Freedom? 17:41 Joel's Iraq War Story: Watching Saddam's Execution 20:05 Freedom Requires Institutions Built Over Generations 22:24 The Pilgrims Were Proto-Communists 27:33 Does the Constitution Shape People, or Do People Shape the Constitution? 29:04 The "Moral Decay" Psyop 33:23 Catholic Integralism and Left-Wing Economics 39:50 AI and the Next Attempt at Communism 41:14 "We Are the Joke": Humans Trying to Build Utopia 42:30 Jeremy's Restoration Theology Story 52:47 Eschatology: When End Times Theology Makes Christians Quit Politics 57:13 The Miracle of the Modern State of Israel 1:13:04 Does Jeremy Support Israel for Eschatological Reasons? 1:19:32 Project Hail Mary: A Rebuke of Christian Filmmaking 1:29:47 Q&A: Who Would You Have Dinner With?
