Is the world witnessing a historic fracture between the White House and the Vatican? In this episode, Dan Parsons breaks down the escalating tension between President Trump and Pope Leo. As war policies clash with papal decrees, we explore whether this is a mere diplomatic spat or the beginning of a "New Cold War" between the Shepherd and the State.

Is military policy being driven by faith? In this episode, we dive deep into the complex intersection of Christian nationalism within the U.S. military and the contrasting calls for global peace from the Vatican. Host Dan Parsons analyzes the tension between modern military strategy and religious doctrine, specifically looking at *Pope Leo’s legacy* of peace versus the rising influence of nationalist ideologies in the Pentagon.

Political consultant Ryan Horn returns to the show to break down the fast-moving developments surrounding the U.S.–Iran conflict and what it means for American strategy abroad. Horn gives his take on the reported ceasefire, the administration’s approach to the war, and the broader implications for deterrence and U.S. foreign policy. We also discuss the political fallout at here at home, including a fracturing Republican coalition, shifting attitudes on the economy, and how it plays into the 2026 midterms and key races in Nebraska.⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Support the show by becoming a ‘Friend of Dan’ on Patreon - https://patreon.com/thedanparsonsshow⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Additional music provided by friend of the show Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal, support them at: https://www.joshhoyer.com/⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Connect with The Dan Parsons Show on Social Media:- TikTok - https://tiktok.com/@thedanparsonsshow- Instagram - https://instagram.com/thedanparsonsshow- Twitter [NOT calling it "X"] - https://x.com/DanParsonsShow2- Facebook - https://facebook.com/TheDanParsonsShow⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻On the go?

A new statewide poll shows growing dissatisfaction among Nebraskans, with two-thirds saying the state is on the wrong track. Dr. Rebecca Firestone of OpenSky Policy Institute and Hadley Richters of the Holland Children’s Institute join the show to break down what’s driving those concerns and how it could shape policy debates ahead of the 2026 elections. The conversation explores affordability pressures, tax policy, and healthcare challenges, including Medicaid changes and their impact on rural hospitals.Read more on the Holland Children’s Institute poll here: https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/03/20/holland-childrens-institute-poll-shows-most-nebraskans-see-the-state-on-wrong-track/⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Support the show by becoming a ‘Friend of Dan’ on Patreon - https://patreon.com/thedanparsonsshow⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Additional music provided by friend of the show Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal, support them at: https://www.joshhoyer.com/⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Connect with The Dan Parsons Show on Social Media:- TikTok - https://tiktok.com/@thedanparsonsshow- Instagram - https://instagram.com/thedanparsonsshow- Twitter [NOT calling it "X"] - https://x.com/DanParsonsShow2- Facebook - https://facebook.com/TheDanParsonsShow⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻On the go?

In this episode Janell Folkerts, a self-proclaimed “Patriot Hippie” and former MAGA supporter who voted for Trump three times in past elections, joins us to discuss her frustrations with the current administration and why they’re losing support. As a staunch supporter of the military, she talks about her disapproval of U.S. involvement in the conflict with Iran. We also discuss her disappointment with Trump’s mishandling of the Epstein files, MAHA, midterm elections and the political divide between baby boomers and Gen Z regarding war.⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Support the show by becoming a ‘Friend of Dan’ on Patreon - https://patreon.com/thedanparsonsshow⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Additional music provided by friend of the show Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal, support them at: https://www.joshhoyer.com/⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Connect with The Dan Parsons Show on Social Media:- TikTok - https://tiktok.com/@thedanparsonsshow- Instagram - https://instagram.com/thedanparsonsshow- Twitter [NOT calling it "X"] - https://x.com/DanParsonsShow2- Facebook - https://facebook.com/TheDanParsonsShow⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻On the go?
