Summary

Today on The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric and Chris react to Iran, the regime’s brutality, and why Eric says Americans cannot grasp what life under that system is like. They break down media propaganda, why Eric says he trusts President Trump’s judgment in a complex war moment, and what the hawk and dove sign made him think about the grim cost of conflict. And Eric shares updates from Florida events, why he was impressed by Ron DeSantis in person, and a life saving segment supporting Israel’s national EMS. Subscribe for clips from The Eric Metaxas Show to hear politics and culture from a Christian perspective.

Hey there, folks. It is Monday the 2nd of March, 26. I find myself in the Florida Keys. No one knows how we got here. Chris, Chris Himes, my producer, maybe you can tell me how I got here. Actually, yeah, yeah, you said, you know what? I'm tired of this life of being a respectable podcast or an author. I'm going to try my hand at running drugs in the Florida Keys like Scarface. And you know what? That pretty much sums it up. That's basically what's happening. And I'm running guns. And, you know, it's fun. It's fun. We got a great boat. No, actually,

I'm down here because I'm speaking tomorrow night at a special event. It's a private event,

but we're down here in Key Largo. And I was most recently, just a couple of days ago, in Palm Beach, Florida.

1:18.4

1:58.5

impossible. We are ignorant. We are spoiled. We cannot imagine

2:09.3

many, many, many of them longing, praying for the mullahs to be, to go away.

2:18.2

And so if there's ever an opportunity to do that,

2:20.9

2:23.7

but it's been very difficult.

2:25.6
