When Donald Trump entered the race in 2016, the MAGA movement promised something different: accountability for elites, no new wars, constitutional conservatism, and an America-first foreign policy.This episode asks a hard but necessary question: what happened?In this short reflection, Zack looks at how the MAGA movement has shifted away from its original values — from Epstein accountability and anti-war commitments to endless foreign funding, constitutional erosion, and the disavowing of America First voices who won’t fall in line. From warrantless ICE entry to regime-change politics and empire-style foreign policy, this no longer looks like a constitutional republic.This isn’t an attack from the outside. It’s a critique from someone who supported Trump, believed in MAGA, and is now openly disappointed.If America is going to behave like an empire, this episode argues, we should at least be honest about it — because the American people didn’t sign up for endless wars, elite protection, or a government that ignores the Constitution.

Asking questions isn’t antisemitism — and for Christians, truth should never be off-limits.

In this episode of Zack Riordan Unfiltered, Zack approaches the topic of antisemitism from a biblical, Christ-centered worldview, starting with clear definitions. What is a Semite? Who is a Jew? And how do ethnicity, religion, and modern politics often get conflated in ways that shut down honest discussion?

This episode challenges the growing tendency to label questioning as hatred, while reaffirming a core Christian truth: Jesus Christ judges individuals by faith and heart posture, not race or bloodline. The gospel is for all who believe, and Scripture welcomes honest questions — it does not fear them.

This is not an episode about hatred.
It’s an episode about truth, clarity, and following Christ without slogans.

For years, Christians have been told that Genesis 12 promises unconditional blessing to anyone who supports modern Israel — and that questioning this idea is somehow unbiblical or even dangerous.

But does the Bible actually teach that?

In Episode 13 of Zack Riordan Unfiltered, Zack walks through the promises made to Abraham, the covenant made with Israel at Mount Sinai, Israel’s long history of disobedience, and Jesus’ direct confrontation with the belief that lineage — not faith — determines who belongs to God. From Matthew to Romans to Galatians, the New Testament consistently presents one people of God, not two, and one inheritance that comes through faith in Christ.
