The 1-23-25 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.

Timestamps:

Timestamp: 0:29. Let’s begin with some great feedback from the last show.

Timestamp: 13:58. Why I’m a moderate, why both political parties drive me crazy, and what George Washington said about political parties… A mini-rant, if you will, quoting Washington from back in 1799.

Timestamp: 16:48. President Trump is sworn in and begins his second term. My overview of that and a deeper look at his desire to take back the Panama Canal.

Timestamp: 26:14. Let’s cover the latest news in Ukraine since Trump has taken office, as he has ended funding temporarily and is now moving toward trying to make a peace deal.

Timestamp: 34:15. A Ukrainian pilot has made history by shooting down six Russian cruise missiles during a single mission in December

Timestamp: 37:02. A brief update on the Israel-Gaza situation.

Timestamp: 42:55. Trump says he's considering a 10% tariff on China beginning as soon as Feb. 1. How will that be taken by China? And how will Trump react when China acts aggressively around Taiwan or the Philippines, now that there’s a new sheriff at the helm, so to speak, in the United States.

Timestamp: 46:01. Let me end by sharing some spiritual encouragement for you all out there.

Let me end by sharing some encouragement for my Christian brothers and sisters 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. 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.
