Pro-MAGA morning hosts David Brody, Gina Loudon, and Terrence Bates expressed full-throated support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's "religious war" in Iran after he quoted scripture to support the U.S. strikes."Religious war! It's on!" Brody exclaimed during a Real America's Voice segment following Hegseth's Tuesday briefing. "I'm telling you that's happening. We've always looked at this from a Judeo-Christian standpoint, as relates to spiritual warfare. We know that God is richly blessed America.""The fact that Pete Hegseth quoted Psalm 144, quoted the Bible, you've got Iran quoting the Koran," he continued. "They believe that this is all, they think they're going to heaven with 77 or whatever it is, virgins and all that. You know, they're not, by the way.""Gina, I'm telling you, and I think you agree with this, that this is being now going to be cloaked as a religious war.""Do you think that's a bad thing, David Brody?" Loudon wondered."No!" Brody insisted. "I think he just feels that God is looking over the United States of America, and the fact that he would actually go there, I think, suggests that there's going to be a lot of, that's adding some fuel to the fire.""Having said that, no, we don't. And what I mean by that is straight up. Pete Hegseth is absolutely correct that God has been watching out for the United States of America. We don't go by the Koran. We go from the Bible, and that is accurate, what he's saying."Loudon agreed: "I think the minute we shy from the fact that this is a Christian nation is the minute we remove God's hand and protection. And so I agree with you. I think we go bullish on this.""Yeah, I mean, the reality is this is a religious war from the perspective of the Iranians, and God has us protected," Bates chimed in. "And so we are operating in the right.""So kudos to President Trump. And kudos to Secretary Hegseth for invoking the Bible," he added, "in this religious war, because that's ultimately what it is. That's just the reality, whether we want to admit it or not."

President Donald Trump is sweating that his war in Iran will blot his legacy with an indelible black stain — and he's blaming a key ally for making it happen, a columnist wrote Tuesday.While the 47th President of the United States has much to worry about when it comes to his legacy — from his prominence in the Jeffrey Epstein files to the unmanaged cost-of-living crisis — the latest crisis is the one Trump is worrying about, Heather Digby Parton, wrote in Salon.And she suggested the influence of Republican Party members and administration figureheads had strong-armed the president into making a call on whether to strike Iran — and he knows it.Parton wrote, "Trump knows that a failed war would be the ultimate black mark on his legacy, and until now he was reluctant to go all out."But [Lindsey] Graham was there, the little devil on his shoulder, whispering sweet nothings into the presidential ears about how Trump will be remembered as one of history’s greatest leaders if only he will do what no president in his lifetime has been willing to do: launch wars of choice to demonstrate American military might."Graham and the rest of the admin's influence on Trump may come back to bite the president who, Parton suggests, should have known better than to be dragged into a war he could not win. "Until now, even the most hawkish Republican presidents knew this notion was absurd," Parton wrote. "They had learned from the mistakes of Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, and Richard Nixon, a Republican. "Over three years, from 1965 to 1968, the U.S. conducted Operation Rolling Thunder, a sustained bombing campaign with the objective of putting the Viet Cong in their place — and it was remarkably unsuccessful. "Nixon tried it again with Operation Linebacker in 1972, and it was equally a failure. The North Vietnamese were not cowed. They just kept on fighting until the U.S. finally pulled up stakes three years later and withdrew."Of course the hawks all said that the military just didn’t go hard enough, destroy enough, kill enough or it would have worked — an argument that persisted throughout the rest of the Cold War and the years of Iraq and Afghanistan."

Sen. Rand Paul warned of a "disastrous election" if President Donald Trump did not end his war against Iran."As far as the reasons for the war, there have been many different reasons floated, but none of them, I think, have been very convincing," Paul told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday. "Another statement has been made, well, they're a week away from a nuclear weapon. You can take clips from the '90s all the way through the present of people arguing that they're a week away from nuclear weapons.""We were also told their nuclear weapons were obliterated," he noted. "So I guess I don't think the arguments are valid. And I think war should be the last resort, not the first resort.""My fear is that we get dragged into a long process here and that chaos results. Order doesn't come from this."Paul said he also opposed a supplemental spending bill for the Pentagon."I'm very, very concerned about the debt," he said. "And a half a trillion dollars to the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."Bartiromo wondered if Paul was leading a split in the Republican Party that would lead to midterm losses. "I don't think a split party is the problem," the senator replied. "I think the 2026 elections, already, we are behind the eight ball as far as the electoral process. I think if you add in high gas prices, high oil prices. And if we are still bombing Iran with kinetic action, people don't want to call it war, but if there's still kinetic action that causes oil to be over $100, I think you're going to see a disastrous election."
