Summary

Rod Martin explains his shift from Southern Baptist issues to in-depth foreign policy analysis, why Trump’s long-consistent realist approach to Iran, China, and global trade is strategically brilliant, and why conservatives should feel optimistic about his predictions regarding regime change in Iran, lower oil prices, an economic boom, and the midterms. The conversation also covers America’s proper role as global hegemon, deep-state resistance, and encouraging updates on reform within the Southern Baptist Convention.
