A single court signal just shifted the ground beneath the midterms. We break down how the Supreme Court’s move to let Texas’s new congressional map proceed—on a 6–3 trajectory—could mark a turn away from race-based redistricting and toward a simpler, race-neutral standard. With filing deadlines here and margins razor-thin, even a handful of seats could decide whether a reform agenda advances or stalls. We talk candidly about the legal maze built over decades of precedent, why lower courts kee...
Headlines move fast, but good policy starts with first principles. We open the toolbox—biblical clarity, historical evidence, and constitutional guardrails—to make sense of today’s most charged debates and to chart a path that actually improves lives. With Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel, we map how culture drifted from strong families to fragile norms, and then we show how to reverse course with compassion, courage, and strategy. We dig into the post-Dobbs reality: fewer clinics but more che...
A single court order that barred a 12-year-old from church. A split jury that left Kim Davis with a six-figure judgment. A growing wave of state moves to protect conscience while testing the limits of federal marriage and gender rulings. We sat down at the Pro Family Legislators Conference with attorney Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel to trace how these flashpoints connect—and why the debate over marriage shapes everything from religious liberty to sports, pronouns, and public spaces. Matt st...
Power you can count on changes everything—health, safety, jobs, and whether a storm becomes a headline or a hardship. We sit down with energy expert and former Texas legislator Jason Isaac to unpack why so many grids feel fragile despite record spending, and how policy signals have steered capital into intermittent capacity that often fails when demand spikes. From Texas’ post‑Uri reality to Europe’s price shocks, we connect real‑world outcomes to the engineering underneath the buzzwords. Ja...
Want a clean, honest look at energy that starts with truth and ends with action? We open with our core lens—biblical, historical, and constitutional—and then sit down with former Texas legislator Jason Isaac to examine how policies shape lives on the ground. The result is a clear, human-centered tour through ESG pressures, energy poverty, reliability, and the global tradeoffs we rarely see on headlines. Jason shares how financial tools are being used to choke off insurance and capital for tr...
A breakthrough in safety, a hard line on security, and a surprising plea for civility—this episode brings three big themes into sharp focus. We start with the long-overdue debut of a female-specific crash test dummy and why that matters for real-world outcomes. With higher injury and fatality rates for women in identical collisions, better biomechanical models mean better seats, belts, and airbags—design decisions that can finally reflect how female bodies experience force in a crash. It’s a ...
What if the most meaningful Thanksgiving starts with only five kernels of corn? We revisit the holiday’s unvarnished origins and follow a line of gratitude that runs through blizzards, barracks, and battlefields. The Pilgrims faced disease, hunger, and loss, yet learned to give thanks for small mercies: a buried kettle of corn, new allies, enough wood for the fire, and the hope that the next winter might not claim them all. That stubborn gratitude didn’t ignore suffering; it taught people how...
Persecution, closed doors, and shipboard vows—our journey starts where power tried to silence conscience and ends with a small band drafting a covenant that rewired how authority works. We sit down with Bill Federer to map the Pilgrims’ path from England’s star chamber to the rocky shore where consent became the basis for order. Along the way, we explore how the Reformation, censorship laws, and the flight to Holland set the stage for a bold experiment that would echo through New England town...
Tired of hearing America is beyond repair? We make a grounded case for renewal—rooted in first principles, legal clarity, and a fuller telling of our national story. With Mike Berry from First Liberty, we unpack how recent Supreme Court victories have reopened space for faith and conscience in public life, including schools, and why that matters for culture as much as law. When rights are secured in the real world—teachers protected, students free to express belief, communities able to build ...
What happens when people fill pews but drift on first principles? We sit down with researcher George Barna to unpack a new survey of frequent churchgoers that reveals only 11 percent hold a biblical worldview, a third prefer socialism to capitalism, and support for Israel rarely moves beyond prayer. It’s sobering, but it’s also a roadmap. If we can see clearly where formation has failed, we can rebuild how we teach, mentor, and live the faith in public. We dig into why worldview isn’t an aca...
Forty million people live in slavery today, yet many pulpits are quiet where they were once loudest. We revisit a forgotten tradition of courageous preaching that confronted unjust laws, trained citizens to think biblically about public life, and helped turn spiritual conviction into cultural reform. From biblical prohibitions against “man stealing” to the explosive pushback against the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law, we explore why past pastors urged civil disobedience when policy defied conscience...
If spiritual fireworks don’t change the neighborhood by Monday, what are we missing? We take a hard look at a century of American revivals that stirred the heart but barely nudged the culture, and then we trace a different path: how revivals become awakenings when believers are discipled and Scripture is applied to daily life. Not just belief, but apprenticeship. Not just emotion, but formation that shapes families, work, and public decisions. We dig into the Great Commission’s overlooked co...
A billion people watched a memorial defined by bold forgiveness, and something shifted. Church attendance spiked, Bible sales soared, and campus arenas from Ohio State to Florida State filled with students lining up for baptism. We take that momentum seriously and ask the harder question history demands: when hearts change, do cultures follow? We walk through the evidence: record Easter services, mass beach baptisms, and stadium crusades drawing thousands. Then we hold it against the long ar...
Change doesn’t arrive with a hashtag; it arrives with a name on a ballot, a calm voice at a microphone, and a chair at the school board table. We sit down with Joe Messina—who spent twenty-four years in the trenches of a California district—to unpack how a lone dissenting vote became a durable majority that actually moves policy. From pulling back the curtain on graphic curriculum to establishing clear flag policies and defending parental notification, Joe shows how local courage scales when ...
Stadium altar calls, campus baptisms, and a surge in Bible sales are stealing headlines for all the right reasons—but the real story is what comes next. We dive into the data pointing to a national spiritual renewal and challenge ourselves to aim higher than momentary inspiration, asking how to turn revival into a durable great awakening through deliberate discipleship and principled policy. We share the energy and outcomes from the Pro Family Legislators Conference, where more than 400 lawm...
Headlines have trained us to expect the worst. Today we chase what’s actually moving the needle: international pressure for religious freedom, a youth movement catching fire on campuses, a surprising recalibration in the climate debate, and a clear turn in border enforcement that’s reshaping incentives on the ground. We start with Nigeria’s designation as a Country of Particular Concern by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, led by former Congresswoman Vicki Hartzler. Tha...
When should America step in abroad—and when should we hold the line? We open with Nigeria and the persecution of Christians, unpacking the hard tradeoffs between humanitarian outrage and constitutional guardrails. We weigh the tools that can move regimes without war—credible threats, sanctions, aid leverage, quiet diplomacy—and the times when defending American lives, ships, and commerce must take priority. Using the Barbary pirates and the French Quasi-War as guides, we lay out a practical t...
A world war ended with silence at the eleventh hour. From that moment, the United States began a long journey from Armistice Day to Veterans Day—a shift from marking a ceasefire to honoring every American who wore the uniform. We explore how that change happened, why it matters, and what it asks of us today as citizens navigating policy, budgets, and public life. We open with the history: proclamations from Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge, Congress formalizing Armistice Day, and Dwight Ei...
Headlines say the shutdown is over; the real story is where the fight moves next. We open with how the Senate finally broke the stalemate—motion to proceed, cloture math, and why debate time became a bargaining chip—and then trace the ripple effects into your wallet, your health care, and the federal workforce. Eight Democrats crossed the aisle to end the longest funding lapse on record, and that crossover set up a December carveout to debate the Affordable Care Act on its own. We walk throu...
A generation raised on shifting standards is reaching for something solid. We sit down with Father Frank Pavone to explore why younger Catholic priests are embracing clear, biblical convictions on life and identity—and how that clarity is drawing Gen Z, especially young men, back into the Church. This isn’t a political pivot; it’s a move toward coherence in a time of confusion, where objective moral truth replaces the fog of moral relativism. We trace the cultural and spiritual forces shapin...

The right to bare arms IS NOT a GOD given right. GOD never gave anybody the right to own a gun. The sooner we abolish the 2nd amendment the sooner we can put an end to gun crime and make this country a safer place to live.

GOD NEVER gave anyone the right to own a gun. The 2nd amendment needs to be abolished. The sooner this is done the sooner guns can be made illegal. This is the only way to put an end to gun crime.

Seeking the death penalty is absolutely the right thing to do.

Of course Mike Pence got a standing ovation at the university in Charlottesville. He's a traitor. Usually enjoy listening to the show except when you act so dumb.

When you turn your countrymen and allies over to your enemies, you're a traitor. When you aid the enemy and provide them with weapons and ammo, you commit treason. The President of the United States is a treasonous traitor. That is a high crime worthy of Impeachment. #BidenisaTreasonousTraitor

Be careful about surrendering the authority to appeal to those who recognize no authority.
