    You are missing the point regarding Trump, he’s truly a patriot despite his large ego. He went to military school, despite having plenty of money to avoid it, has been courageous in the face of attack after attack. He doesn’t quit until he wins and he does care about others and is very generous and loving. You see a vain man. I and many see a courageous man who loves his children and grandchildren and wife. You attack him for his bombastic ways but won’t see his kind and sincere side. Don’t judge a book by its cover!

Many sane people have decidedly backed Trump and not for lack of prudence in the face of the weariness his coarse personality needfully stokes. Some of his antics are down right shameful. Some humility is detected in him nonetheless. And do consider the inhumanity and strangeness of those who verociously oppose him. Rabid they seem.

    Thank you all, very much.
    As to Dr Marshall, he and Timothy Gordon were instrumental in helping me as I inched my way back into the Church after a 48 year absence. (Of course, Our Lady did the heavy lifting.) I'll be forever grateful. I came back with eyes wide open and with much to learn, and he has taught me much. I'm anxious to see your discussion with him.
    As to Trump. I'm 70 years old. Trump is the first president in my adult life to keep his promises. I had more in my paycheck from tax cuts. I got raises I couldn't believe because the economy really was roaring back to life. He's the only president to ever attend the March for Life. He walked into the Korean DMZ like a boss, unafraid. Gavin is correct. His personal generosity is legendary, and has been for decades. I'll take his rough edges over the fake Hollywood empty suit any day.
    Our histories are so incredibly different. We are still a very young country, and we were not subjected to bombings in war. We've been unbelievably blessed even as we meddle where we're not wanted and export the most horrific popular culture. My generation is the last to understand this, and we'll be gone soon enough. All that said, I love listening to your measured, mature takes on what's happening in world and Church.
    Lastly, I'm pretty unhappy with the choice of JD Vance, for a number of reasons. I'll wait and see.

      Trump is a grifter and so is Taylor Marshall. Trump is a liar, felon , sexual predator, a cheater and in no way a Christian. And Marshall is full on board with Trump. His support of pro-life is transactional just like everything in his life. This is a pact with the evangelicals. His own nephew has claimed told him that it would be better “ to let his disabled son die so he could move to Florida”. I can’t believe the naivety of the Catholic Unscripted team. Trump is a truly despicable man and a shameful example to all. It is horrendous to think we are holding up this man to our children as an example to be emulated.

      Biden was not caught with documents. They were found, he surrendered them and he cooperated with the Special Counsel appointed to investigate him. The same with Pence. Contrast that with Trump. If Trump had done the same there would have been no consequent at all. Trump hid things, tried to destroy evidence and to induce subordinates to lie, suborned his attorneys to tell falsehoods, shared information with those not authorised to know it, left things carelessly lying around. That alone should have disqualified him from future office.

    I so enjoy you three, and Taylor too! I lived and worked in Texas for awhile and appreciate Dr Marshall’s faithful take. You all helped me convert last year. His style is influenced by being Texan (the land of six flags😉) and by converting from Protestantism. These are both helpful to commit to a healthy openness to those of us in love with the sacraments and in maintaining a moral and none secular consciousness.
    I was briefly persuaded to be less pro-life for a couple of decades. But I was on a journey to revert to my original strong commitment to it. I support Trump because he is the only candidate able to create an environment for me to speak out about my real Catholic values. Trump needs a lot of work but he will protect us from brutal butchery of children and I can help the pre-born without being imprisoned. That is a foot in the door as was my path towards Catholic. Additionally, I am voting against Kamala’s paganism and her globalism and promoting an environment of complete communistic agenda.

    I'm a Catholic in the wilderness...pretty much. I'm up in Alaska and am hungry for fellow travelers who want to be faithful, rightly focused, AND informed with truth about what's really going on in the church and the world. I no longer have faith in mainstream media, so I very much appreciate independent researchers and reporters. At the end of the day, we have to scrutinize and test what we see and hear, use our God-given discernment, and make decisions as best we can. Bishop Barron, Ralph Martin, Brian Holdsworth, a number of theologians based in faithful Catholic enclaves, and Taylor Marshall...all these voices help me to parse what's going on in both the church and my nation. I am so grateful for the three of you. You speak about real things to real people in a tumultuous age. Thanks.

    I disagree with Mark's assessment of Trump as an absolute lunatic and narcissist. If he were a lunatic his businesses would have failed. If he were a narcissist his children would nurse feelings of resentment towards him. Instead you see them all beaming with love and admiration towards him.
    On the issue of abortion, however, he is a lunatic. Whether a child is conceived by rape or love has no bearing on its humanity and therefore has no bearing on its right not to be murdered. Yet he thinks it does. He clearly hasn't worked out his moral principles on that issue with any clarity.
    I grant that he is unpolished, vulgar, inarticulate and prone to childish verbal retorts. I see him as primarily a pragmatist with America's best interests at heart. He sees America as a personal project. He wants to make it better ("great again") and to be able to feel proud of having done so. Why else would he have run for president considering how old, successful and popular he was prior to entering the presidential race? You can't say he did it for money since (1) he already had billions and unlike Obama, Biden, Pelosi etc. he did not use his official position to enrich himself having: (a) forfeited his presidential salary (b) put all his assets into a blind trust although not legally required to.
    In any event, who else is there?

    I wouldn't be too hard on genuine conservative/Catholic politicians over abortion policy. They can only do the art of the possible. To go after the perfect may mean that they don't get anything, not even the good. Moreover they can only move as far as public opinion allows. Changing public opinion is down to the rest of us, not just politicians. The politicians could help by removing censorship and letting us speak freely without being shut down for "controversial" views.

      Mark is right on the money about the negative aspects of Trump. I think Trump has no choice but to run to keep himself out of jail. He is a total idiot. He won the Presidency unexpectedly. He could have left a brilliant legacy with all the resources he had at his disposal. Instead he remained himself and lost all the good people in early on in his administration. None of them will endorse him including his own Vice President. He also showed us his incompetence when faced with a national emergency i.e. Covid. This is a man self destructing now and taking many with him. A tragedy for himself and the country. I don’t like the comparisons to Hitler but in one respect it fits. He used his gifts for very bad ends. Hitler conflated his idea of his own greatness with Aryan supremacy to build a new world. Trump is only about his ego and using people to his own ends.

      I think you could both be right. I think he sincerely believed the US was when he started all of this. Although I think he was just as shocked as anyone else when he won the 2016 election. Once that happened the Democrats and US elites as a whole united like nothing I have ever seen before (maybe since out done by COVID) in my life to destroy the man. They made a martyr out of him ALMOST literally now. But he likely like the idea of the limelight putting his name all over like he did with big buildings, tv shows, etc. So, I think it's a little of both and how much of each is debatable.

      Taylor Marshall is a very well spoken man but his only TLM is beyond any Catholics parish is wrong. I’m in my sixties, same Catholic parish from cradle and till death. The parish is a simple Catholic parish. My parents were one of the original eight to get the parish started. It has not became a woke Catholic Church. There is always people within the church community of the parish that try to in corporate idea that are not of the meaning of the Catholic faith. Just looking towards Rome, Vatican and what’s happening. One cannot claim all Catholics parishes are going left. As a cradle Catholic I don’t agree the Body of Christ should be handled by anyone but the priest, yes miss the communion rail, but that doesn’t make the parish obsolete as a good Catholic Church, parish. For a small town Catholic Church it is still drawing the young families, matter of fact my own child and their family. The Ten Commandments stand in this Catholic parish, because it doesn’t pray in Latin, which I did as a child, doesn’t make it woke. I have seen the curtain pulled back on some Catholic Churches and priests that are going by the wayside by Taylor Marshall and I learned from him by listening to him. He has been a blessed man. There has been some branches branching off the Catholic faith and still call themselves the Catholic faith under the same umbrella. We will loose are Catholic parishes if we don’t claim our country back. Look at France!

      @@tamarawingetI’m still upset by Mark’s remarks and use of adjectives, but I’ll get over it. I’m used to this rhetoric everywhere else. That’s probably why I’m so upset. But if you call Trump a lunatic and/or narcissistic, you automatically say that people like me are complete idiots and simply deplorable. I’m a lot smarter than that-which is how I found Catholic Unscripted 😅. 99% of the people I know and am friends with think the same as Mark. I LOVE these people, but they all listen to the Democrat Party machine. Constantly. I just didn’t expect to hear the same talking points on CU. Critique Trump, yes, but darn it, Mark, I am not supporting a lunatic and narcissist. Ih, well. Here’s to FREE SPEECH! Holy Spirit help us all see what we are supposed to see.

    I do agree with Gavin Ashenden on Trump.
    The opposition is all nice talk…
    I listen to T Marshall, listen to Catholic Unscripted, listen to ‘Avoiding Babylon, listen to US Grace Force podcast. God loves variety, and so should we. All of these podcasts are doing their best to speak truth with charity about the Catholic faith and the crisis in the Church simply because it isn’t being addressed by the Church hierarchy.
    We all make mistakes, which we can forgive and overlook but correct errors charitably. I don’t like listening to the Popesplainers…
    who just ignore the big elephant in the room.
    A great part of leading people into truth, is to address and point out theological errors and false teachings. There can’t be pretence when we are striving to be faithful to the Gospel….getting so tired of the constant pretending that everything is perfect in the Catholic Church and we should just be nice and accept everyone and everything even if they are sexual perverts and public abortion supporters.
    Enjoy your show.
    Thank you

    The minute a political party starts espousing religious values we’re in trouble. It doesn’t matter whether it’s our values or not. It will have bad end. Biden is right. He believes life starts at conception, he is unequivocal about it ( which means he’d never ask anyone to have an abortion voluntarily), but people should have the choice. So he has to fight for the choice regardless of his beliefs. Life is more complicated for some than we can imagine.

    It is always better to deal with our failures and foibles and sin this side of the grave where we can repent of our errors and sins than to leave to the other side of the grave where judgement is final and everybody is really surprised, whether we are astonished to be a sheep or stunned we are really a goat. Always better this side no matter how uncomfortable it all is. Pax Christi.

    Thanks for a very good conversation! With regards to the Republicans becoming a pro-choice party, ms Bennett is right. We can't just throw up our hands in the air and talk about binary choice and that the Republicans still is better than the opposition. We need to criticize them for abandoning pro-life principles and offer constructive ways to oppose abortions while also seeking to win an election. Too many conservatives seem all too happy to forget about the greatest evil of our time in order to focus on more popular issues (like immigration and crime), refusing to criticize Trump as he selected the justices who made the issue of abortion a non-federal issue. Read what the Catholic philosopher Edward Feser is writing on the topic.

    I think it was about 3 years ago that i first seen Taylor Marshall's channel. I independently researched the 2 stories he presented. Turns out he was lieing on one story, and exagerating on the other. Then i seen another video where he claimed he neither recognised Pope John Paul nor Pope Benedict as Popes. I looked into Marshall himself and saw that he was a supposed Anglican priest convert. I reached the conclusion that he is a double agent as there is no information on which parish admitted him to the Catholic Church. Even if he is a catholic, no doubt he is been deceived as all we hear from him is a relentless tirade of criticism and negativity, the very qualities required for a person to be easily deceived.

      It is rather interesting who God actually chose. Moses murdered a man right from the start. David did as well to get the man's wife. There is quite the long list of this sort. What is interesting is though many times He went with the better of some options available. Though it didn't appear so to their peers (and probably many today). David or Saul? Moses vs not sure but look how it turned out in the wilderness. Kings and Chronicles many of those labeled the ones doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord I am assuming many modern people wouldn't like.
      Do you see my point?
      There is also always the possibility that God raises up people to pour out judgement because there are no other better options at the time..... I pray that is not the case.

      Pretty sure the Democrats want to attack Russia. One has many nukes the other maybe. There is no way to win Ukraine which is becoming a sacred cow without going into Russia. I have been really concerned the political left is likely to start a nuclear war with Russia since the 2016 election. They despise them maybe as much as some of them do Israel. If you look at what has happened under Obama and Biden it's a heck of lot closer than before.
