Pro-MAGA morning show host Gina Loudon suggested President Donald Trump was using the Iran war to distract from the Epstein files.During a Friday conversation on Real America's Voice, co-host Terrance Bates followed up Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's briefing by arguing the U.S. was in a "holy war.""It's like the two sides that are in this are so dug in on this," Loudon said of Americans. "Both sides lose me at a certain point. I am not okay with forever wars. There's no question about that. I don't think we need to be sending all this money to Israel or any place else that we send.""I just think we got to, we got to, we need Jesus," she continued. "But we need Jesus. There's no other answer than that right now."Co-host David Brody, however, insisted that the conflict was "not a holy war.""I don't think it is from our standpoint," he remarked. "At least not publicly.""But America has been sold a lot of bills of goods," Loudon ranted. "And our young men and women have died because we were going to, this was not going to be a forever war.""So it's a fair level of accountability to say, hey, don't forget, there is a military industrial complex that does have a very vested interest, and there are very powerful people in every crevice of our world of entertainment of government," she added. "The Epstein files exposes that. We need to get back to that conversation, and we need to learn from it, and we need to say look we're not going to sit down and shut up just because somebody we like says, oh, by the way, we're going to war, this isn't going to last forever, because guess what?""We've been told that before. And so I think it's fair to ask questions and to give reminders and to be that accountability voice."
