In this pivotal episode of the Steve Deace Show, host Steve Deace delivers a powerful call to action ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, warning that a major geopolitical shift—specifically, a decisive defeat of Iran by Israel—could trigger a catastrophic political reckoning for the conservative movement. Drawing from a private address to Capitol Hill activists and staffers, Deace outlines a 'realistic but cannot happen' scenario: if Israel achieves a generational victory over Iran, conservative leaders risk being blamed for failing to defend America's domestic priorities, leading to a devastating midterm loss that could echo the political collapse following the Iraq War. He urges Republicans to pivot immediately toward domestic issues once the conflict ends, emphasizing that winning the war abroad should not come at the cost of losing the home front. The episode also features a candid interview with Dr. Robert Malone, who resigned from the CDC’s advisory panel after a federal judge halted vaccine policy changes, revealing a deep politicization of public health under the current administration. Deace critiques the suppression of vaccine safety discourse and the sidelining of key officials, framing it as part of a broader effort to control narratives ahead of the midterms. In a striking segment on media manipulation, Deace and co-host Todd Erz analyze three clips showing far-right and far-left figures using identical, demonizing rhetoric against Israel, concluding that this is not coincidence but a coordinated, godless strategy to fracture the West. Finally, Israeli journalist Pesach Wolicki joins to condemn the desecration of a crucifix by an IDF soldier, emphasizing that the incident was swiftly condemned by Israeli authorities and that the real outrage should be reserved for the ongoing, systemic persecution of Christians in Nigeria and the Middle East. The episode culminates in a sobering message: unity between Jews and Christians is not just ideal—it’s essential for survival in a world increasingly defined by spiritual warfare.
A decisive victory for Israel over Iran could trigger a conservative political collapse if Republicans fail to pivot to domestic issues post-conflict.
The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel has been effectively shut down by a rogue judge, enabling political interference in public health policy.
Far-right and far-left media figures are using identical, demonizing language about Israel—indicating a coordinated, godless narrative strategy.
The desecration of a crucifix by an IDF soldier was condemned by Israel’s leadership, but the real story is the silence on the ongoing Christian persecution in Nigeria and the Middle East.
Christians and Jews must recognize their shared enemy: a godless globalism that seeks to destroy both faiths under the guise of ideological purity.
Sponsor: Indeed & Preborn
The episode opens with promotional segments for Indeed, a job platform, and Preborn, a nonprofit that supports pregnant women facing crisis pregnancies. Steve Deace emphasizes the importance of supporting life-saving initiatives and encourages listeners to donate.
Reflections from Washington, D.C.
Steve shares his experience visiting the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., praising its technological excellence, historical depth, and spiritual impact. He reflects on the museum as a symbol of national and spiritual renewal, contrasting it with underwhelming institutions like the NFL Hall of Fame.
The 'Cannot Happen' Scenario: A Warning to Conservatives
“This can't happen. It just can't. And whatever you're thinking right now, whatever you're planning right now, in my humble opinion... It has to be so that the scenario I'm about to articulate for you... which I think is very realistic. I don't think it's probable. Did I say probable? No.”
Dr. Robert Malone on the CDC Advisory Panel Collapse
“The secretary is increasingly a figurehead. And it's not clear how long he will be as secretary. The rumors are rampant... that Oz will become the new secretary.”
The Godless Fringe: Identical Rhetoric from Left and Right
“Godlessness from the left and godlessness from the right are the same thing. They're not any different. It's just godlessness. Zero times zero is zero.”
“Godlessness from the left and godlessness from the right are the same thing. They're not any different. It's just godlessness. Zero times zero is zero.”
“I don't give a damn about Israel. I don't give a damn. And I don't fucking trust them.”
“The real threat to America is from Israel. Our alliance with Israel as an existential threat to the United States.”
