The 2-6-25 edition of The View from the Front podcast.

Hi everyone! Thank you for being here.

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 scripture 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).

I’ve got timestamps below on the various topics, as well as source notes you can refer to.

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.

State Department moving to evacuate USAID staff worldwide: Sources
The State Department has begun working to assist in evacuating all USAID staff who are on foreign assignments worldwide, sources familiar with the effort told ABC News.

The Department is aiming to recall all USAID employees, including family members, to the United States by Saturday, according to multiple sources.

On Tuesday, new deputy administrator for USIAD Pete Marocco told State Department officials that if the evacuation wasn't completed, the military would step in, a source familiar with the conversion told ABC News.

A federal worker described the move to ABC News as a sudden recall of thousands of foreign service officers, forcing families to uproot with just days' notice—spouses quitting jobs, kids leaving schools, and even pets being relocated.

"To uproot them and call them back to Washington like criminals while dealing with families and logistics is cruel. These people have kids in school," a former USAID employee told ABC News.


Ukraine news:

US arms shipments to Kyiv briefly paused before resuming over weekend, sources say

U.S. shipments of weapons into Ukraine were briefly paused in recent days before resuming over the weekend as the Trump administration debated its policy towards Kyiv, according to four people briefed on the matter.

Shipments restarted after the White House pulled back on its initial assessment to stop all aid to Ukraine, two of the sources said.

There are factions inside the administration that are at odds over the extent to which the U.S. should continue to aid Kyiv's war effort with weapons from U.S. stocks, said one of the people, a U.S. official.





Let me end by sharing some spiritual encouragement for you all out there.

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.

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 shephard. 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.

I also have a podcast that focuses solely on faith called The Search for God. You can find it below.

Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things?

I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Chrisitan or not.
