[00:30] The West’s ‘Wishful Thinking’ (16 minutes)
Yesterday, in an interview with the Grayzone, U.S. Col. Douglas Macgregor said the West is trying to “convince the world that a defeat [of Russia] is in progress when, in fact, the opposite is the case.” Western nations, particularly the United States, have been diligently framing their narrative of the war in Ukraine after this manner, but as Colonel Macgregor went on to say, “In the West, there is no truth. There is wishful thinking.”
[16:35] Power Vacuum Created by America (8 minutes)
Now that America’s retreat from Afghanistan is complete, China is aiming to fill the power vacuum and exploit the nation’s vast mineral wealth. “China already controls most of the world’s rare earth minerals,” wrote the Wall Street Journal. China’s engagement with Afghanistan will give it even more control. As we wrote at the Trumpet nearly a decade ago, “We are leaving behind a comfortable era of Western dominance—and entering a new and uncertain era of violent competition for supremacy among remorseless foes.”
[24:30] Tucker Is a Traitor? (14 minutes)
The left has been calling Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard “traitors” and Russian “assets” for suggesting the U.S. should not engage in war with Russia. Carlson may be a commentator bringing a different perspective to the conversation outside the political and media mob, but he’s certainly not a traitor.
[38:30] Bible Study: Earnestly Contend (16 minutes)
In the book of Jude, God implores true Christians to “earnestly contend for the faith.” In this segment, we take a look at how we must fight to hold on to God’s truth. It’s a continual fight to come out of Egypt—a figurative type of sin—and to stay out of Egypt during our Christian journey.
