Radical shifts in the United States are sending shockwaves abroad.

Host Curtis Chang welcomes back "founding friend" David French to examine how Trump's foreign policy is reshaping America's global standing. From strained alliances with Canada to shifting U.S. support for Ukraine, and the dismantling of USAID, David and Curtis explore whether the nation has abandoned its long-standing commitment to liberal democracy. Drawing from scripture, historical Christianity, and even the Declaration of Independence, they discuss the deeper implications of the current moment for America's national character and global trust.
