Hi everyone! Thank you for being here.
If you’re new to the show, let me say this. Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military. I end each show by sharing some verses from the Bible (without being too pushy).
My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life).
Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week.
As a reminder, monthly paid subscribers through Substack also get access to bonus audio summaries and special “Insider Brief” newsletters. These typically drop once a week.

US withdraws some diplomats and military families from Middle East amid Iran tensions
Trump has said he’s grown less confident in being able to strike a deal with Iran curbing the country’s nuclear ambitions, saying in a new interview that Tehran could be “delaying” striking an agreement.
“I’m getting more and more less confident about it. They seem to be delaying, and I think that’s a shame, but I’m less confident now than I would have been a couple of months ago,” Trump said in an interview with a New York Post podcast that was released earlier on Wednesday.
“Something happened to them, but I am much less confident of a deal being made,” he went on, saying it was his “instincts” telling him a deal was moving further from reach.
Russia Launches Biggest Drone Assault of the War, Ukraine Says
The attack used almost 500 drones and missiles, breaking a record set just days earlier, as Russia tries to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses, which shot down most of the weapons.
Latvia’s foreign minister, Baiba Braže: “Putin is now following step-by-step Russia’s well-worn negotiations manual: issue absurd maximalist demands and blame the other party for not accepting them; concede nothing; continuously delay the process; reset expectations; wait for others to present compromises or concessions; and exploit this as weakness.”

U.K., Canada and Others Impose Sanctions on Far-Right Israeli Ministers
The push to blacklist Mr. Ben-Gvir and Mr. Smotrich had been weeks in the making and underscored Israel’s growing diplomatic isolation. It came after Britain, Canada and France issued a stark statement last month about the treatment of civilians in Gaza.
…
While the United States did not join the action, British officials said they had sounded out officials in the Trump administration about the proposed move in recent weeks and had not encountered strong resistance.
…
In their statement, the five countries said that, as of April, extremist Israeli settlers had carried out 1,900 attacks on Palestinian civilians since last year. This violence, and the inexorable expansion of settlements, the statement said, undermined the prospects for lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Let me end by sharing some spiritual encouragement for you all out there.
As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not a person. I believe that not only can God give you ever-lasting life, but that He can also give you peace in this life. God is like a good shepherd. He leads you by the still waters. He restores your soul. He guides you out of the death and destruction of sin. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here.
By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide, I have a link I’d like you to check out. In fact, it’s an entire page long. A pep talk, if you will, that I believe will help. I also have listed a hotline that you can call, whether you’re a service member or just a civilian. Here’s the page: PTSD.
