ESSAY: Trump Retreats from Minnesota, But Justice is Only Beginning
14/2/2026 | 13 mins.Tom Homan announced that Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities is ending. After weeks of federal escalation, ICE and Border Patrol agents are pulling out of Minnesota.
But let’s be clear: this isn’t the end.
In this episode, I break down why Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda was always politically and logistically doomed — and why sustained, forceful, peaceful resistance worked in Minnesota. When Americans saw what “mass deportation” actually looks like on the ground — masked agents, economic disruption, terrified families, and the killing of two citizens — support collapsed. Trump retreated. Now the real fight begins: accountability.The Roots of Pete Hegseth's Theology of Violence, with Mark Ramm
13/2/2026 | 33 mins.In this episode, I sit down with writer Mark Ramm of Transparency Cascade Press to trace the historic roots of Pete Hegseth’s theology of violence — and how it connects to Christian nationalism, hardline masculinity, and a centuries-old debate inside American Christianity. We follow the thread from Doug Wilson and the “Sin of Empathy” teaching… back through R.J. Rushdoony… and even further to Confederate theologian Robert Lewis Dabney. Is there a direct line from antebellum pro-slavery theology to modern Christian nationalist ideology? And how did those ideas make their way into today’s conversations about ICE, masculinity, authority, and the U.S. military? This is not a partisan conversation. It’s a theological one.Pam Bondi's Shameful Hearing Performance Should Disturb Every Christian, with Amy Hawk
12/2/2026 | 29 mins.Today, we break down the explosive Pam Bondi hearing surrounding the Epstein files, the DOJ’s handling of survivor information, and the growing questions about accountability. Why did Pam Bondi refuse to apologize to Epstein survivors after their private information was released? Why does the Department of Justice keep deflecting to Merrick Garland and past administrations? And what does the Bible say about covering for the powerful while the vulnerable suffer?Live, Episode 11: Two Americas Collide at the Super Bowl Halftime
11/2/2026 | 1h 1 mins.It was a tale of two SUPER BOWL halftime shows. Did America survive Bad Bunny? Or did his message of love and togetherness hit harder than the hypocrisy on display at the Turning Point USA halftime show or Trump’s words at this week’s National Prayer breakfast? Pat goes live with Ken Napzok to discuss it all.ESSAY: When Morning Joe Preaches the Gospel Better Than the Church
10/2/2026 | 15 mins.Peter Wehner’s new Atlantic article hits hard—and his appearance on Morning Joe might shock you. Why? Because a group of secular news hosts just articulated the Gospel more clearly than many white evangelical pastors. In this episode, I share key clips from that conversation, unpack what it means for the future of American Christianity, and explain why I’m encouraged, not discouraged, by this cultural shift.
