The weapons flowing through the Axis of Aggressors don't move in one direction—they boomerang. In the second installment of this two-part episode, Generation Jihad's Bill Roggio continues his conversation with Bradley Bowman, senior director of FDD's Center on Military and Political Power, and Ryan Brobst, CMPP deputy director, digging deeper into the mechanics of authoritarian convergence.Bowman and Brobst trace how Iran's Shahed drone became a shared arsenal—copied by China, produced by North Korea, and returned to Tehran in upgraded form after Russia improved it on the battlefields of Ukraine. They break down the munitions crisis draining US and allied stockpiles, explain why North Korea may be in its strongest strategic position in decades, and unpack the "trilateral tango" between Kim Jong-un, Beijing, and Moscow. The conversation closes with a five-line grand strategy for countering the axis—and a sobering warning about what happens if Washington waits for the next crisis to act.For Part One, check out: https://www.fdd.org/podcasts/2026/08/11/china-russia-iran-north-korea-inside-the-axis-of-aggressors/

China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea aren't just aligned in rhetoric—they're actively coordinating to erode American military, economic, and cyber dominance. In this episode, Generation Jihad's Bill Roggio sits down with Bradley Bowman, senior director of FDD's Center on Military and Political Power, and Ryan Brobst, CMPP deputy director, to unpack the real-world mechanics behind this dangerous authoritarian convergence.From joint military exercises and sanctions evasion to weapons transfers and cyber warfare collaboration, Bowman and Brobst break down exactly how members of “the Axis of Aggressors” prop each other up on the world stage—and what it will take for the US to counter a group of nations that no longer play by the old rules of great power competition.

Politics matters, but it was never designed to carry humanity's ultimate hope. Modern political movements increasingly promise identity, security, justice, transformation, and societal redemption. When people expect politics to provide what only Christ can give, political involvement becomes political idolatry and political power begins functioning as a false gospel. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains how Romans 1 exposes humanity's tendency to exchange worship of the Creator for created things. He considers why political systems create the illusion of control, how political identity can overshadow identity in Christ, and why every attempt to produce salvation through human power eventually disappoints. Governments can restrain evil, preserve order, and promote justice imperfectly. But laws cannot regenerate the heart, political power cannot reconcile sinners to God, and no earthly system can establish an eternal kingdom. Christians should care about truth, righteousness, justice, and the good of their neighbors. But they must engage society with their hope firmly anchored in Jesus Christ. Politics is important, but it is never ultimate. Only Christ can redeem what sin has broken. For more Equipping You in Grace, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/equipping-you-in-grace-2/

What happens when journalists cover politics without understanding the religion shaping the story?Brian Kaylor, president and editor-in-chief of Word&Way and the leader of A Public Witness, joins Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram to explain why religion reporting matters in an era of Christian nationalism, government-sponsored worship, and growing confusion about the role Christianity plays in American public life. Kaylor describes how political reporters can miss biblical references, theological claims, and denominational differences that are central to understanding events such as January 6, presidential elections, and the political influence of conservative Christianity.The conversation then turns to Kaylor's reporting on Christian worship services organized inside the Pentagon and other federal agencies. He explains the involvement of Pete Hegseth, Doug Wilson, Franklin Graham, Southern Baptist leaders, defense contractors, violent biblical rhetoric, and a prayer borrowed from Pulp Fiction. The episode also examines the constitutional difference between a private religious group using a government building and the government planning and hosting its own worship service.The final episode of Church & State 250 returns to the principle at the center of the series: America's most significant religious experiment was the decision to separate church and state. Kaylor argues that this separation protects religious minorities, government employees, and Christianity itself from the corrupting influence of political power.Guest BioBrian Kaylor, PhD, is president and editor-in-chief of Word&Way, an independent Christian media organization founded in 1896, and the leader of A Public Witness, a publication covering religion, politics, and culture. A Baptist minister with a doctorate in political communication from the University of Missouri, Kaylor is an award-winning journalist, author, speaker, and scholar whose work focuses on Christian nationalism, political rhetoric, religious liberty, church-state separation, and the ways Christianity is used to support government power. He is the author or co-author of seven books, including Sacramental Politics, Baptizing America, and The Bible According to Christian Nationalists. His Government Worship Watch project documents worship services organized by the Pentagon and other federal agencies, making his reporting central to understanding the current relationship between Christianity and the federal government.Books MentionedThe Bible According to Christian Nationalists: Exploiting Scripture for Political Power by Brian KaylorBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780827203501Baptizing America: How Mainline Protestants Helped Build Christian Nationalism by Brian Kaylor and Beau UnderwoodBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780827203389Relevant Links & ResourcesBrian Kaylor Official WebsiteURL: https://briankaylor.com/A Public WitnessURL: https://publicwitness.wordandway.org/Word&WayURL: https://wordandway.org/

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comHow did “biblical manhood” become so tied to aggression, politics, and power? Kristin Kobes Du Mez, professor of history at Calvin University and author of Jesus and John Wayne, joins Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram to explain how white evangelical ideas about masculinity helped shape American Christianity and American politics. Du Mez traces the rise of rugged Christian manhood through culture, Cold War politics, the Religious Right, Ronald Reagan, fear of feminism and secularism, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and the culture war machinery that turns complicated issues into loyalty tests. She also connects masculine power to institutional self-protection, including the Southern Baptist Convention's response to women in leadership and sexual abuse reform. This conversation is not just about men. It is about how gender, theology, fear, capitalism, and political power worked together to shape modern white evangelicalism, and why America's 250th raises urgent questions about religious liberty and democracy.Guest BioKristin Kobes Du Mez, PhD, is a historian, New York Times bestselling author, and professor of history at Calvin University. Her work focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, politics, and American evangelicalism. She is the author of Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation, A New Gospel for Women, and the forthcoming Live Laugh Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World They Made. She is also a Senior Democracy Fellow with PRRI.

Steve Yates analyzes the Taiwan People's Party's (TPP) historic visit to mainland China. Originally a pro-identity youth movement, the TPP is now seeking political power through a coalition with the pro-China KMT. This shift complicates Taiwan's political landscape, as the younger demographic overwhelmingly identifies as Taiwanese, not Chinese. (5)

Political and economic power is increasingly moving toward the South as corporations relocate, populations grow and Southern leaders gain more influence in Washington. On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy speak with Democratic strategist Howard Franklin about his new report, Accelerating South: Risks, Rewards and the Road Ahead. Franklin explains how migration, business investment and a new generation of governors could reshape the region and Georgia's place within it. The conversation also examines the debate over data center growth, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens' second-term priorities and the possibility that Georgia could elect a Democratic governor while Republicans retain control of the General Assembly. Tia and Patricia then assess how Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson are repositioning themselves for the general election, and what Democrats still want to see from the Bottoms campaign.

This episode hosts David Daley to examine the accelerating role of gerrymandering in shaping American democracy and what it reveals about the pressures facing modern electoral systems. The conversation explores his argument that democratic strain is driven not only by electoral cycles or individual political choices, but by the deliberate drawing of electoral maps that enables political actors to select their voters, weaken accountability, and reshape the incentives that underpin democratic competition. Daley argues that while gerrymandering has long been part of American politics, its contemporary form is defined by greater precision, scale, and the degree to which it is now enabled by advanced data systems and a permissive legal environment.The episode examines how technological change has transformed redistricting into a highly sophisticated analytical process. Drawing on census data, historical voting patterns, and commercially available behavioural datasets, political operatives are now able to model electoral outcomes at the level of individual households. Advanced mapping software allows thousands of district configurations to be tested and refined before any boundaries are finalised, turning what was once a broadly geographic exercise into a data-driven process of political optimisation. This technological shift has strengthened the ability of parties to entrench advantage in an era of deep political polarisation.A central focus of the conversation is the evolving legal framework governing redistricting in the United States. Daley highlights the Supreme Court's 2019 decision in Rucho v. Common Cause, which removed federal courts from adjudicating partisan gerrymandering claims and effectively eliminated a key national constraint on extreme map-drawing. He also points to the longer-term weakening of Voting Rights Act enforcement following Shelby County v. Holder (2013), which dismantled the federal pre-clearance system. Taken together, these rulings have shifted oversight away from federal institutions and into a fragmented landscape of state courts, constitutions, and political processes, producing uneven constraints across the country and enabling more aggressive partisan behaviour in many jurisdictions.David Daley is a journalist, political commentator, and bestselling author of Ratf**ked, a landmark study of partisan gerrymandering in the United States first published in 2010. His work examines how changes in redistricting strategy, electoral law, and political technology have reshaped American democracy over the past two decades. Daley has written extensively on the impact of map-drawing on representation, highlighting how advances in data analytics and shifts in judicial oversight have transformed gerrymandering from a relatively blunt political practice into a precise instrument of partisan advantage.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

Part 4 of Exposing the Matrix takes a hard look at government and political power. From media monopolies and surveillance programs to intelligence agencies, emergency powers, political theater, and manufactured division, we examine how fear is often used to expand authority while citizens are encouraged to trade liberty for the promise of safety. This episode is not about left versus right. It is about recognizing patterns, questioning narratives, and understanding the spiritual reality behind systems of power. As always, we measure everything against Scripture and remember that our ultimate trust belongs in God, not the institutions of men.Website: https://www.foundationsinfaith.netEmail: thefacthunter@mail.com

Meanwhile, Japan eyed the defenseless Southeast Asian colonies of European powers, determined not to "miss the bus." (12/16)1943

From Apple News In Conversation: At the end of April, the Supreme Court’s ruling on Louisiana v. Callais significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act.

Adam Serwer, a staff writer at The Atlantic, joins Apple News In Conversation guest host Sam Sanders to help explain this pivotal moment and the long history of voting rights in America.

I don't want to seem ungrateful because I really have benefited much from the contributions of what might be called “Banner of Truth” postmillennialism. However, the emphasis with this strand of theology is almost entirely focused on the gigantic ticker tape parade of evangelism, mission work, intense revivals, and more. Scarcely a thought is given to how we might clean up after the parade, who would be responsible for that task, and what our laws would look like after the revival.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

Why do evangelicals struggle when they gain political power?This conversation breaks down the tension between Christian ethics and modern politics, focusing on how ideas like moral purity, leadership, and authority translate (or fail to translate) from the church into government.The discussion explores Christian nationalism, the historical Protestant influence on America, and how institutions like universities shape cultural values.It also examines why applying church-based standards (like purity and holiness) to political leadership can create ineffective governance and poor decision-making.A major theme is the difference between biblical holiness vs. an obsession with purity, and how that distinction impacts leadership, culture, and policy. James Baird and Josh Howard also address controversial topics like moral hierarchy, sexual ethics, and cultural decline, offering a theological and sociological perspective on modern political engagement.If you’re interested in religion and politics, evangelicalism, cultural influence, or political theology, this conversation provides a deep and thought-provoking analysis.

In this episode, bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer joins Lisa to expose the shocking revelations from his new book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon. Schweizer reveals how mass immigration has been deliberately transformed from a humanitarian issue into a strategic political tool — one wielded by American elites, foreign governments, activist NGOs, and powerful institutions to reshape elections, demographics, culture, and governance in the United States. Far from accidental policy failure, this “invisible coup” is a calculated long-term power play. Peter breaks down the coordinated influence campaigns operating behind the scenes, the role of foreign actors in shaping U.S. policy debates, and how educational institutions and NGOs have helped manufacture public consent for policies that benefit the powerful at the expense of everyday Americans. This eye-opening conversation pulls back the curtain on weaponized immigration and explains why it poses one of the greatest challenges to America’s future sovereignty and national identity. In this episode, you’ll discover: How immigration became a tool for political and demographic engineering The foreign interests and governments actively shaping U.S. immigration policy The hidden role of NGOs, activist networks, and educational institutions in influencing public opinion Why The Invisible Coup argues this strategy is deliberate — not accidental or incompetent What informed citizens can do to understand the tactics and push back effectively If you want to understand the real forces driving the border crisis, demographic shifts, and political polarization in America today, this is an episode you cannot miss.
