Summary

Steve reacts to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech in front of the Munich Security Conference and says his message is a perfect encapsulation of our historical moment (and a great example of Christ's second-greatest commandment). Then, rabbi and commentator Pesach Wolicki joins the program to provide the crew with a preview of the state of play in the Middle East and Israel ahead of their trip later this week. In Hour Two, the team examines two dueling graphics of religious polling data and says it's a sufficient encapsulation of the quagmire the American church finds itself in. Finally, Joe Mitchell, a Turning Point Action-endorsed congressional candidate from Iowa, joins the program to discuss his campaign.
