Nate unpacks the political despair so thick you could cut it with a Bible verse, starting with the chilling theory of the Fourth Turning, which suggests a societal crisis is imminent. Then, he drops the Rasmussen poll that is truly chef's kiss in its irony: A majority of young conservatives—and a shocking number of evangelical Christians—would rather hand the reins of power over to AI overlords than deal with the current crop of rabid, diseased, worm-ridden kittens in Congress. We even listen to the analysis from Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports himself. Seriously, do Christians really think an AI programmed by tech bros is a better moral leader than, well, anything? We dive into why this is a deeply naive idea and the theological implications of handing over the government to "Mecca Hitler" / "AI Caesar." We also debate whether Artificial Intelligence should even be allowed to have a gendered persona, given the biblical principles of male and female leadership. Finally, the conversation shifts to the perennial question: Is faith a gift granted by God, or is it a personal, unencumbered choice? Calvinism vs. Free Will gets into the weeds on God's foreknowledge, the nature of belief, and why a guest keeps referring to God as "it." (You read that right.)
