Is The Devil A Democrat? - Ep. 951 - July 27, 2026

What happens when political ideology, faith, and America's future collide? In Episode 951 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith examine the rise of Democratic Socialism and debate whether its goals point toward expanded government, anarchy, or communism. The conversation begins with plenty of humor, including a sponsorless episode, a rejected toilet paper advertisement, and a "journey of faith" to keep the show going. From there, the discussion turns serious as Jeff and Alan respond to Democratic Socialist proposals involving the presidency, the Senate, the Pentagon, ICE, and prisons. They also discuss:  * The changing identity of the Democratic Party  * The influence of socialism and communism on college campuses  * How political divisions are affecting families and churches  * The spiritual dimension of government, lawlessness, and national decline  * Tom MacDonald's song "The Devil Is a Democrat"  * The impact of nonstop news and growing public sadness  * Why Jeff believes America needs a return to gospel preaching and soul winning  * God's protection of Israel and the limits of political power Throughout the episode, Jeff and Alan speak from a Christian, conservative perspective while urging viewers to pay attention to the direction of the country. They argue that political change alone can't restore America, and that real renewal must begin with faith, truth, and the preaching of the gospel.
