Welcome to Politics by Faith, special edition here about Iran.

So we start off with a quick monologue about the National Security Strategy of 2025.

My point here is that none of this should be a surprise.

This isn't like, oh, where did this come from?

What's Trump doing? He has no idea what he's doing.

No, no, no. It's all perfectly outlined in the national security strategy and this is all within

the goal so we do that then we talked to the great mike baker former CIA and a former CIA officer

with some insight into Iran and this military operation of what's next that's part one then part

two we talked to a Christian missionary who spent time in Iran.

And then we wrap up with a history of just war theory, but specifically focus on the colonial period in America.

I just want to kind of rebuke this instinct that a lot of people have that if you're a Christian you can't fight in wars or have a war or support a war and that's not true.

I'll make my argument for that coming up at the end of this.

But let's just do part one and part two right here.

America is the greatest country in the world.

Welcome to our special Wars of the World, the Iran issue.

We have great experts coming up.

I'm going to keep a... We call this the A block, the opening.

I'm going to keep this monologue short, and then I have quite a D-block,

where we're going to spend a little more time.

I want to talk about King Phillips War of 1674, and our founding grandfather's view on just war theory.

But this is what I want to talk about with Iran, and our recent attack, war, battle, and Iran.

None of this should be a surprise.
