Welcome to Politics by Faith.

Thanks for being here.

We just recorded a special on government corruption.

So we're going to put the first two segments here.

First of all, I just lay out waste fraud and abuse, what it looks like and what category would you put these different things in, waste fraud or abuse. And then we talked to the two experts on this stuff, helping us connect some dots from the Government Accountability Institute. That's going to be this special, an episode. The next episode is when we talked to Tom Askell from the Founders Ministry. It's great. Look at it from a biblical perspective. And then I wrap up with some

warnings from some prophets in the Old Testament that I think parallel exactly, exactly

with what's happening today. So enjoy our first two segments of government corruption.

Who is against rooting out government corruption? Other than, of course, the corrupt, they are.

But other than that, is the TDS in people so deeply ingrained that they can't even

be grateful when Trump and Elon root out waste fraud and abuse apparently it is a TDS is a

dangerous disease welcome to our special on government corruption at the end of the show today we have our well actually

our last our final guest is one of my favorite pastors and we're going to speak about this from

my theological perspective and then my final segment are some biblical examples of government

corruption because there's nothing new under the sun that's what we do on my podcast politics

by faith we take a big thing that's happening in the news, and then we run it through a biblical worldview, a biblical lens. We go to the Bible, and the easiest thing to do is to prove that whatever we're experiencing right now, there's nothing new. And the Bible is full of government corruption. The Pharisees, but I go like Old Testament, it's all about it. We'll dedicate our last segment to that.

But these three words we hear over and over, waste, fraud, and abuse.

What are these things?
