Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thanks for being here. We had such a fun special today. We talked about space. Just inspired by Elon Musk and rescuing our astronauts and everything that's going on there. It's time we have a new revival of caring about space. And we had the space race for a while. It was this wonderful, patriotic, existential race that we had to win against the Soviets and

it's time we get that zeal back so this is our humble contribution to that

about why it matters and why we need to be these people again so here's our

first two segments on this I gave my monologue here about being a nation of builders

and then we talked to the expert on space, Brandon Weikert.

America is the greatest country in the world.

Welcome to our special politics by faith, America's

new space race. Today's special is about space. But it's more than space, if you can get bigger

than space, it's about innovation and it's about America leading the way once again.

We've all seen this clip of SpaceX returning the astronauts that

Biden left behind. We know the backstory. But this clip right here of the capsule landing in the

Gulf of America, doesn't that look fake? Like it looks fake. And there's this one video with the parachutes like rippling in the sky and falling into the ocean.

And you're like that, I don't know if that's real, actually. I think that's a computer-generated thing.

I have pretty good AI radar. Like I can tell pretty, if I see a video,

that's a fake video, I'm pretty good at that most time.

But you see these videos of SpaceX stuff

and they look not real.

And it's true with all the videos that Elon posts

of Space X launches and SpaceX landings,

like with the toothpicks, like, when they, like,

just like pluck the rocket out out of midair.

Every time, I've seen these videos multiple times.
