Date:Monday, April 14, 2025 (12:00 p.m.)Title:The Folly of the CrossScripture:1 Corinthians 1:18-25Sermon by:Tommy OvertonSermon Series:Holy Week 2025—The Glory of the Cross

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools gush out folly. 3 Yahweh's eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good. 4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit. 5 A fool despises his father's correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence. 6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble. 7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools. 8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness. 10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die. 11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh— how much more then the hearts of the children of men! 12 A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise. 13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit. 14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly. 15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. 16 Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, than great treasure with trouble. 17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred. 18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife. 19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway. 20 A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother. 21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight. 22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established. 23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time! 24 The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol. 25 Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow's borders intact. 26 Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing. 27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live. 28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil. 29 Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones. 31 The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise. 32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding. 33 The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Pastor Nate Wright respond to the criticisms raised by Andrew Isker and CJay Engel from the Contra Mundum podcast. They engage in an in-depth discussion about the significance of possessing a biblical worldview, addressing misconceptions and providing thorough explanations on topics such as theology, philosophy, epistemology, and mathematics. Dr. Boot underscores that a biblical worldview is grounded in the full revelation of Scripture, which serves as the ultimate authority for all aspects of life, including politics, science, and economics. Additionally, the duo explores the underlying motivations and flawed reasoning behind some of the arguments presented by Isker, Engel, Wolfe, and the reactionary "dank" right, aiming to reinforce the importance of a biblically rooted perspective in all areas of culture and knowledge.

This Day in Legal History: Senate Approves Alaska PurchaseOn April 9, 1867, the United States Senate voted to ratify the Treaty with Russia for the Purchase of Alaska, approving the acquisition of the territory for $7.2 million. The deal, championed by Secretary of State William H. Seward, added over 586,000 square miles to U.S. territory. At the time, many Americans viewed the icy, remote land as a barren wasteland, mocking the transaction as “Seward's Folly” or “Seward's Icebox.” Despite public ridicule, Seward pursued the deal partly to prevent British expansion from neighboring Canada and to extend American commercial interests into the Pacific. Russia, for its part, saw little strategic or economic value in Alaska and feared it might lose the territory without compensation in a future conflict.The treaty passed in the Senate by a vote of 37 to 2, reflecting support among lawmakers despite popular skepticism. Legal authority for the purchase came through the treaty-making power of the executive branch, with Senate ratification required under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Once finalized, the transfer of sovereignty occurred in October 1867 in Sitka, with a formal ceremony marking Russia's departure.Criticism of the purchase subsided decades later following the Klondike Gold Rush and, eventually, the discovery of significant oil reserves. These developments drastically changed the public's perception of Alaska from frozen liability to strategic asset. The purchase also helped lay the groundwork for America's growing influence in the Pacific and Arctic regions.President Donald Trump announced that major law firms pledging $340 million in pro bono work would assist his administration with coal industry initiatives and international tariff negotiations. Speaking at a White House event, Trump said these firms—such as Paul Weiss, Skadden, Milbank, and Willkie—would provide legal support for leasing and regulatory issues in coal mining, as well as in talks with foreign countries on trade. While he didn't specify which firms would take on specific tasks, Trump emphasized their legal talent and claimed they were offering services “for the right price.”The announcement coincided with Trump signing executive orders invoking the Defense Production Act to increase coal mining and directing investments into advanced coal technology. He also said the Department of Justice would be tasked with challenging state and local regulations he views as harmful to miners. The law firm agreements came after Trump targeted several legal firms with directives that threaten their business, prompting lawsuits from Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Jenner & Block. Trump posted the agreements on Truth Social, stating the firms would work on causes like veterans' rights and combating antisemitism, although details on how their roles will be determined remain unclear.Trump Says He'll Enlist Big Law Dealmakers for Coal, TariffsA group of 67 former top legal executives from companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Eli Lilly filed a legal brief condemning President Trump's executive orders targeting several major law firms. They argue that the orders violate the Constitution and threaten the independence of corporate legal counsel by coercing political loyalty through federal contract threats. The brief supports a lawsuit by Perkins Coie, one of the firms impacted by the orders, which claims the directives bar its attorneys from government buildings and jeopardize its clients' federal contracts.The former general counsels contend that Trump's actions don't just punish individual firms, but undermine the principle that companies should be free to choose their legal representation without fear of political retaliation. The brief highlights how the orders signal to businesses that hiring lawyers linked to Trump's critics could lead to government sanctions. Trump issued similar orders against WilmerHale and Jenner & Block, and all three firms have secured temporary legal blocks against the measures.While some firms like Paul Weiss struck deals with Trump to avoid penalties—agreeing to provide pro bono work for causes aligned with his administration—others have pushed back. Four days prior, hundreds of law firms submitted their own brief supporting Perkins Coie. Trump's administration defends the orders as efforts to stop perceived political bias in Big Law.Former top lawyers at major companies decry Trump orders against law firms | ReutersAn immigration judge has given the U.S. government through today to present evidence justifying the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and lawful permanent resident. Khalil was arrested in New York and transferred to a detention facility in rural Louisiana, sparking concern over due process and free speech rights. At Tuesday's hearing, Judge Jamee Comans made it clear that if the government cannot prove Khalil is deportable, she will dismiss the case by Friday. She also criticized delays in sharing evidence and emphasized the importance of Khalil's due process rights.Khalil's lawyer, Marc Van Der Hout, claims the deportation effort is politically motivated and violates the First Amendment, suggesting that Khalil is being targeted for speaking out in support of Palestinians. The government argues Khalil should be deported under a Cold War-era law that allows removal if an immigrant is deemed a threat to U.S. foreign policy, and also accuses him of omissions on his green card application—charges he denies.The case has drawn national attention, including a crowded virtual courtroom. A separate habeas petition is also under consideration in federal court, and Khalil cannot be deported while that process plays out. His wife, a U.S. citizen who is expecting their child this month, has been unable to visit him due to her pregnancy.US given one day to show evidence for deporting Columbia University protester Khalil | ReutersA federal judge has ordered President Trump's White House to temporarily lift access restrictions on the Associated Press (AP) while a lawsuit challenging the ban moves forward. The Trump administration had barred AP journalists from events like Oval Office briefings and Air Force One trips after the agency refused to adopt Trump's preferred term, "Gulf of America," instead continuing to refer to the "Gulf of Mexico." U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, ruled that the First Amendment prohibits the government from excluding journalists based on viewpoint.The ruling, which takes effect Sunday to allow time for appeal, restores the AP's access to White House press events. McFadden emphasized that if some journalists are granted access, others cannot be denied for their editorial stance. The AP sued three senior Trump aides in February, claiming the restrictions were unconstitutional retaliation against protected speech and lacked due process.AP reporters testified that the ban hindered their ability to cover the president, while Justice Department lawyers argued that access to presidential spaces is a privilege, not a right. Press freedom groups and the White House Correspondents' Association welcomed the decision, calling it a win for independent journalism. The case remains ongoing, with a final ruling expected in the coming months.Judge lifts Trump White House restrictions on AP while lawsuit proceeds | Reuters This is a public episode.

Send us a textAfter years long hiatus, Wise Words from Proverbs is back! 

Some command respect. Others create chaos. Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 10:2-4: A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left. Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool. If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest. — Ecclesiastes 10:2-4 Every person's heart leans in a direction. Wisdom pulls toward righteousness, while folly drifts toward destruction. The way we walk, the choices we make, and even how we respond to authority reveal what governs our hearts. A fool stumbles through life, making their lack of sense obvious to everyone. They react instead of thinking, speak without listening, and let emotions lead. But a wise person walks with purpose and self-control, steady even in moments of crisis. When tension rises—whether at work, in relationships, or with those in authority—how do you respond? A fool reacts emotionally, making the situation worse. A wise person stays steady, responding with calmness and patience. Scripture reminds us: “If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for calmness will lay great offenses to rest.” Wisdom isn't just about knowing what's right—it's about standing firm when things get heated. Instead of reacting in frustration, take a deep breath, hold your ground, and respond with grace. A calm response can turn conflict into resolution, while a reckless reaction only deepens the divide. Let me pray for you today: Lord, incline my heart toward wisdom. When I face tension or confrontation, help me stay steady, speak with grace, and reflect Your righteousness in my response. Amen. #WisdomVsFolly, #BiblicalManhood, #StayCalmUnderPressure ASK THIS: In what areas of life do you tend to react instead of respond? How can you practice calmness when facing authority or conflict? What does your daily walk reveal about the direction of your heart? How does wisdom influence the way you handle pressure and adversity? DO THIS: The next time tension rises in a conversation, pause, take a deep breath, and respond with calmness instead of reacting emotionally. PRAY THIS: Lord, incline my heart toward wisdom and self-control. When tensions rise, help me respond with grace and steadfastness, reflecting Your righteousness in my actions. Amen. PLAY THIS: Stand.

Shout out to Earl Estep. This weekend, I will be at the Men of Honor Conference in Sacramento, CA. I am excited to be with you and your men. Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 10:1: Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off a stench; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. — Ecclesiastes 10:1 The Little Things Matter Imagine a master perfumer crafting a bottle of the finest fragrance. Every ingredient is carefully measured, blended with skill, and designed to create something valuable. But then—just one small fly falls in. It decays, contaminates the entire mixture, and what was once desirable now stinks. That's the picture Solomon gives us. A little foolishness can destroy a lifetime of wisdom and honor. It doesn't take much—a careless word, a moment of compromise, a lapse in judgment—and suddenly, the fragrance of a godly reputation is tainted. A Little Folly, A Big Cost History is full of men who built something great but lost it all over one foolish decision. King David—a man after God's own heart—allowed a moment of lust with Bathsheba to bring chaos into his household. Judas Iscariot walked with Jesus, saw His miracles, and heard His wisdom—yet for a few silver coins, he threw it all away. Folly doesn't need to be grand; even a little can cause great damage. Guarding Against the Stench So, how do we keep dead flies out of the ointment of our lives?  ☑️ Watch the Small Compromises – What seems insignificant today can become destructive tomorrow.  ☑️ Surround Yourself with Wise People – The right people will call you out before a small mistake becomes a disaster.  ☑️ Stay Humble and Dependent on God – The moment we think we're immune to folly is when we become vulnerable to it. So here's the question you need to ask yourself today: What “small flies” in your life could contaminate your testimony? Let's pray: Lord, help me to walk in wisdom and avoid even the slightest compromises. Keep me from folly, and let my life be a fragrance that honors You. Amen. #WisdomMatters, #GuardYourHeart, #FaithfulLiving ASK THIS: What small compromises in your life could lead to bigger problems if left unchecked? Who in your circle holds you accountable to wise living? How can you be more intentional about guarding your testimony? What practical step can you take today to remove “dead flies” from your life? DO THIS: Examine your daily habits and identify one small compromise that could lead to bigger consequences—then make a change today. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to walk in wisdom and guard my heart against even the smallest compromises. Let my life be a fragrance that brings You glory. Amen. PLAY THIS: Yes I Will.

Luke and Seth discuss the wisdom literature and how to apply it to various seasons of life. Wisdom, or skill, is seasonal and contextual. How do we apply the Song of Songs? What dangers are there if we apply the book of Ecclesiastes too quickly? Can we run before we walk when it comes to wisdom?

Meg and Alex are joined by Eloisa James to discuss My Sweet Folly by Laura Kinsale. Having not read any of these books, this hero really needs therapy.

Ever notice how the loudest voices get the most attention? Social media. Politics. Everyday life. It's a world where volume often drowns out value. But Ecclesiastes flips that idea on its head. Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 9:17-18: The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good. — Ecclesiastes 9:17-18 Wisdom doesn't need to shout. It doesn't force its way in. It simply speaks—and those who are listening find life. But here's the tension: just as wisdom quietly builds, foolishness can loudly destroy. One careless word. One reckless decision. One moment of pride. And suddenly, years of wisdom can be undone. We've all seen it—leaders who fail, families that fracture, friendships that fall apart. Not because wisdom was missing, but because folly was allowed in. So, what's the challenge? Tune out the noise. Seek wisdom, even when it's quiet. Be slow to speak and quick to listen (James 1:19). Surround yourself with wise voices—even if they're not the loudest in the room. And most importantly, guard against the little compromises that can undo what God is building in you. So, are you paying attention to the right voices? Are you letting the noise of the world drown out the quiet wisdom of God? Lord, help us tune in to Your truth, even when it's quiet. Keep us from foolish choices that could undo the good You are doing in our lives. Give us ears to hear wisdom—even in a whisper. Amen. #WisdomWins, #FaithOverNoise, #DailyDevotional ASK THIS: How can you be more intentional about listening to wisdom in your daily life? What loud voices in your life might be drowning out God's wisdom? When have you seen a single foolish choice undo years of wise decisions? What practical steps can you take to guard against small compromises that lead to destruction? DO THIS: Be intentional about listening to God's wisdom today—turn off distractions and spend 5 minutes in quiet reflection on His truth. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me hear Your wisdom above the noise of the world. Keep me from foolish choices, and give me discernment to follow Your truth. Amen. PLAY THIS: Christ Our Wisdom.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another heart-stirring episode of the Daily Radio Bible, with your host, Hunter, guiding us through the scriptures on this final day of March. As we journey through the books of Judges, Psalms, and First Corinthians, Hunter invites us to reflect on the choices we make. From the story of Abimelech and his fateful decisions in the book of Judges, to the wisdom of entrusting our lives to God's hands, this episode encourages us to choose God's way over our own. Alongside the powerful scripture readings, Hunter offers prayers for guidance and reminds us of the immeasurable love that redeems us through Jesus Christ. Join us as we conclude the month with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit attuned to God's direction. Let's delve into the Word and allow it to shape us, reminding us of the profound truth that we are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Will it be 70 coins or 70 brothers? Will it be my way or God's way? Abimelech, son of Gideon, had a choice that day. He could choose his 70 brothers or he could choose 70 coins, coins that would be used to hire those who'd kill his brothers. He could live life on God's terms or he could be king in his own eyes with those 70 coins. It seems God is always giving us the opportunity to reaffirm our decisions: to make this life about us or to make it about Him. I can choose my way or I can choose God's way. My way always leads to blindness. God's way will lead to awakening. And I will see God, his provision, his victory, God's peace. Abimelech should have known that. He should've seen that in his father Gideon's life, but he chose not to see it. He chose to see things his own way. Abimelech would choose the 70 coins. His 70 brothers and many others would soon lose their lives because of that. And Abimelech himself would lose his life. Abraham made a choice under a tree, an oak tree in Shechem, the same place where this story has taken place, and he chose God's way. Under that tree, he reaffirmed his covenant relationship with God, and through him came the birth of many brothers from every tribe, language, nation, and people. All over the world, people like you and me have been added to the family of God because someone like Abraham chose God's way and not his own. God's way was for his son, a descendant of Abraham, to come and choose his father over and over again, all the way to the cross. He offered himself on a tree so that we might have the power to choose God's way and experience God's love and life every day. God now lives in and through us because of the choice Jesus made for his father. Jesus choosing the way of the father has made a way for us to see, to be awakened to his life, his provision, his victory, his peace, and his grace. Today, let's choose his way. Let's choose life. Let's choose the son. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

The open house of our passage stands in stark contrast to the temptation of the adulteress in chapter 7.  In chapter 9 we receive an invitation to Lady Wisdom's residence.  Notice how she prepares her household for the occasion. Rather than the seductive couch coverings, Egyptian linens, myrrh/aloe/cinnamon perfumed bed of the temptress (7:16-17), Wisdom sets pillars and prepares a feast (9:1-2). Next she sends out her servants to call all who will heed her voice to come and dine. Her servants call to the simple and those lacking sense: “Turn in here, come, eat of my bread?” While some heed her invitation, many pay no attention as they sit down at the Woman Folly's table to a meal of stolen water and secret bread (17). Which table do you prefer? Be careful which you choose! For those who sit down with Lady Wisdom, they will appreciate her preparation, invitation, and conversation .

Timeless Truth: Submit yourself to the authority of God and he will bear the fruit of fervor for the lost. Sermon from the Gathering for 3/30/2025.

If You're Takin' the Wrong Medication You're gonna reach the wrong conclusion

Proverbs chapters 8 and 9 complete the first section of the book. Chapter 8 presents Wisdom's appeal. Chapter 9 tells of two feasts to which the young man is invited. He must choose between Wisdom's feast and Folly's feast. Both Wisdom and Folly are personified as women making their respective appeals. Chapter 8:1-3 outlines Wisdom's call. The call is open and fulsome – to all from every place. Verses 4-11 tell of Wisdom's audience and explain why she should be trusted. There is no downside in trusting her. All the blessings and benefits shout out that she must be chosen; it is in our interest to choose her. Verses 12-22 describe Wisdom's House, what she does and the rewards she gives. Those who respond to Wisdom's call will understand the ways of the LORD and will choose to walk in those paths. Without wisdom kings and rulers are doomed to failure. David had so instilled these values into Solomon's mind that when asked by God what Solomon would choose – he chose wisdom. Verses 22-31 are to be understood in two ways. Firstly that Yahweh's wisdom characterised His Creation in the beginning. And, secondly it is a personification of our Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing in creation was made without our Lord God focusing on creation's relationship to Jesus. Jesus is the centre and object of the entire Creation. Both the letters of Colossians and Hebrews emphasise that.Chapter 9 of Proverbs in verses 1-18 describe the rival feasts. Verses 1-6 tell of Wisdom's feast. Wisdom's table is prepared and she speaks of those to whom her appeal is directed. Verses 7-12 calls for an open mind to receive Wisdom's words and the benefits that will flow from a mind open to truth and wisdom. Verses 13-18 by contrast tell of the feast of Folly and of the disastrous consequences to those foolish enough to choose foolishness. It is a matter of life and death for the choice you make. Compare the appeal of Moses in Deuteronomy 30:11-20 – slowly read aloud and ponder the path you will wisely choose.

Rachel Maddow reports on the ridiculous, bungled spectacle of the Trump administration's release of unredacted documents related to the JFK assassination. Donald Trump appears to have thoughtlessly announced the release of the documents, and the sycophants who serve him followed his order to the letter, apparently without thinking about what they were doing. The result was the unredacted publishing of the social security numbers of people who were involved in the investigation, including many people who are still alive, like Trump's own lawyer, Joe diGenova. 

Everything, everywhere, all at once — but not the movie. This is how cybersecurity experts describe a scenario where a foreign adversary shuts off critical infrastructure, like oil pipelines, water networks, ports, and electric grids, all over the country. The terrifying truth is that China has already hacked into our critical infrastructure. They're “living off the land” and could conceivably attack whenever is most convenient. What's worse? Our political leaders are defunding America's cybersecurity efforts. In order to dig in deeper, Kara talks to Nicole Perlorth, Michael Schmidt, and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, (Ret.)   Nicole Perlroth spent a decade as the lead cybersecurity reporter at The New York Times, before going inside the tent and joining the advisory board of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Council on Foreign Relations' Cyber Task Force. She is a founding partner at Silverbuckshot Ventures and the host and producer  of To Catch a Thief, a new podcast on China's rise to cyber dominance. Michael Schmidt is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for The New York Times and the author of the best-selling book Donald Trump v. The United States. He's also the executive producer and co-creator of the Netflix series Zero Day, a political thriller about a devastating cyberattack on the U.S. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman is the former director of European Affairs for the National Security Council. Vindman was a key witness during President Trump's first impeachment and testified about Trump's infamous phone call with President Zelensky of Ukraine. He is a senior fellow at the Johns Hopkins Foreign Policy Institute and the author of The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine. Questions? Comments?

Eric and Eliot welcome Lt. Col. (ret.) Alexander Vindman, former director for Europe on the National Security Council during the first Trump term and author of The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself about Russia and Betrayed Ukraine (New York: Public Affairs Press, 2025). They discuss the U.S. government's prioritization of US-Russia relations over Ukraine policy across multiple Administrations and the tendency towards a transactional relationship with Ukraine as well as the degree of agency and responsibility of Ukrainian officials for this chronic state of affairs. They touch on the Obama Administration's underwhelming response to the seizure of Crimea and destabilization of Ukraine in 2014 as well as Trump's vulgar transactionalism and personal grudge against Zelensky as a motivation for the Oval Office meltdown two weeks ago. Eric and Eliot also discuss their respective articles in the Dispatch and the Atlantic on Russia's habit of violating agreements it has reached and Ukraine's success in fighting a war of attrition against Russia despite the media's misreporting of the state of the war. They also discuss the generational damage to American alliances and national security intellectual capital that the second Trump term is creating, Trump hostage envoy Adam Boehler's direct negotiation with Hamas terrorists, Trump's mistaken reference to Viktor Orban as the leader of Turkey, and Elon Musk and Marco Rubio's trashing of Poland's Foreign Minister on Twitter.
