Today we're joined by James Jay (Jim) Carafano , Vice President for National Security & Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, to discuss these mysterious UFOs that have seemed to puzzle the Pentagon over the past few weeks. The truth is, they're likely a lot less mysterious than people are being led to believe. It's not been released that these flying objects are, in fact, balloons as well. We break down where they probably came from and the science behind why they all seem to look diff...

Today we're discussing the 'He Gets Us' campaign, as promised! The $100 million advertising campaign seeks to promote Jesus and Christianity through TV spots in prime time, billboards, and social media feeds. These ads portray Jesus as a refugee, an activist, and an influencer, among other characteristics, and aim to communicate his relatability to modern problems (ultimately leading people to the "He Gets Us" site). Two of these ads ran in last night's Super Bowl and made big waves among Christ...

Today we're joined by Aldo Buttazzoni of PragerU to discuss his recent exposé on YouTube Kids content and the new controversial Disney+ "Proud Family" show. In this report, posted via Twitter, Aldo reveals what disgusting content is not only made available, but advertised to kids upon first creating an account. One account, called "Queer Kid Stuff," breaks down the infinite sexualities in the LGBTQ+ group and details what each letter means. We also discuss Aldo's trip to the Los Angeles Zoo Drag...

Today we're talking about Biden's State of the Union address last night. We cover some of the funniest moments from the night – Biden gaffes included – but we also break down some of the topics he brought up, from the praise of abortion (cue roaring applause from the Democrats) to violence and gun control to taxes and oil. The Republicans were particularly heated throughout the speech, yelling back at the president's claims on fentanyl at the border and the GOP's supposed plans for Social Securi...

Today we're talking about Andy Stanley's latest controversy after he said in a conference speech that gay churchgoers seem to have a lot more faith than straight ones. We explain why the language Stanley uses, as well as his dismissal of scripture (calling relevant verses "clobber passages"), is ultimately unloving, as it dismisses the need for repentance for both this lifestyle and the reliance upon "sexual identity." We break down exactly what he said in his speech and give some background inf...

Today we're discussing Sam Smith and Kim Petras' Grammys performance, which featured blatant satanic imagery including Smith dressing up as the devil, Petras dancing in a cage, and dominatrices wearing satanic headgear. We take a look at what their inspiration was for the performance (hint: it's ridiculous) and why it's yet another example of Hollywood's obsession with satanic imagery. We talk about how, while this blatant satanic worship is worrying, it's not the biggest concern we should be fo...

We talk about the depravity of public school curriculum and th...

Today we’re joined by Benjamin Blake Howard, pastor and author of " From Mascara to Manhood ," to discuss his story of leaving a life of homosexuality and drag queen performance and finding the Lord. We discuss his upbringing and what events led to him creating his “drag character,” as well as why it was so appealing to him at the time. He shares about his decision to leave drag behind, his struggle with homosexuality, and how he ended up at a ministry school (of all places), where he ultimately...

Today we're talking about the tragic death of Tyre Nichols and the aftermath, which included riots and calls for social justice, many claiming that the killing was due to "systemic whiteness," despite the cops who killed him all being black. It's a very good thing that the officers are being held accountable, yet it's incredibly sad to see the reaction immediately shift to race. What really constitutes justice in this case? We look at how the officers involved were hired due to lowered departmen...

We're finishing off the week by diving into some of your questions! Is the "He Gets Us" campaign biblical? Is the death penalty justified if Jesus paid for our sins? What do we REALLY think of the Daily Wire/Steven Crowder drama?

Today we're joined by show favorite Justin Haskins , author and editorial director of the Heartland Institute, to get an update on what the world's elites are up to and hear about last week's World Economic Forum conference in Davos, which aimed to "bring together decision-makers from across society to work on projects and initiatives that make a real difference."

Today we're talking about life and death – abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty. First, we cover some solemn statements from Biden and Kamala Harris on what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade as they offer their condolences that more lives can't be ended by abortion. We talk about just how important it is for Christians to be on the side of life and how Christian doctrine has no room for the pro-choice belief. Then, we look at the ever-increasing normalization of euthanas...

Today we're talking about an NHL hockey player, Ivan Provorov, who refused to wear a pride flag jersey for an NHL charity warm-up, citing his Russian Orthodox faith and asking that reporters respect his decision. The NHL is becoming more and more known for promoting the LGBTQ agenda and striving to be "inclusive." We look at the outrage from journalists at Provorov's decision, including one analyst who suggests that Provorov go back to Russia if he doesn't agree with the LGBTQ agenda. We also ta...

Today we're discussing the American Academy of Pediatrics' new childhood obesity treatment guidelines, which suggest surgery and medications in severe cases of childhood obesity. Of course, we've seen obesity rates skyrocket in the past few years due to lockdowns and school closures, as well as the increasing glorification of obesity in Hollywood and the music industry. We talk about what real solutions might look like, without the insanity of surgeries and pharmaceuticals not intended for child...

Today we're discussing the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," which was passed by the House yesterday. This bill would enforce that babies born alive in attempted abortion procedures receive medical care to help them live or admit them to a hospital. Unsurprisingly, all but one Democrat opposed the bill. We look at some of the debates from the House, namely from Democratic congresswomen who think the bill is extremist. One even claims Scripture as evidence for her pro-choice beliefs...

Today we're recapping the speaker of the House ordeal, in which Republican Kevin McCarthy faced 15 rounds of votes before he was finally elected. We discuss why some Republicans pushed back against McCarthy and what (very good) concessions he agreed to in order to get the votes he needed for the election. We look at Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' speech in which he misuses Scripture to argue that Democrats are doing "good." We beg to differ. Then, we'll use our vast knowledge of fashion to bre...

Today we're joined by Jordan Raynor, author, entrepreneur, and host of the " Mere Christians " podcast, to discuss the biblical perspective on work. We start by discussing what God thinks about work and how work was not a result of the fall, but rather a gift from God before the fall. But how does that truth change the way we work on a day-to-day basis? How can seemingly mundane work such as changing diapers or making a latte bring pleasure to God? We discuss what brings God joy in our work and ...

We're back, Relata-belles and Relata-bros! Today, we're starting by asking the question: Should Christians concern themselves with setting New Year's resolutions? We discuss the need for renewed hope in addition to stability, routine, and sameness. Then, we take a look at an article on motherhood, which denounces toxic mommy culture and states that marriage and motherhood tend to actually be intertwined with happiness. Children are not deterrents to our happiness; they're gifts with the capacity...

We discuss why comprehensive sex education at a young age can actually pressure kid...

PragerU just released a short documentary, " The Bigger Bully in School: Why Public Education is Failing in America ," which exposes today's teachers' unions as highly funded and politicized organizations that do nothing but hurt the public education system and protect terrible teachers. And the worst part? These unions are not even hiding it. We discuss how they get away with ...

Today we're joined by Jennifer Bilek , investigative journalist, who has uncovered the powerful individuals funding and pushing transgenderism in children. We cover powerful figures and corporations who have a vested interest in pushing this ideology and discuss how transgenderism unmoors us from reality, which only leads to the redefinition of what it means to be human through technology and medicine.

Joel shares his story of what triggered his interest in politics and theology and ultimately what led him down the path of giving his...

Today we're looking at a few research studies on what Christians do and what Christians think. First, we look at a study that shows younger evangelicals care more about climate change than their elders. We discuss why this is and how the media and leftist agenda have infiltrated their thinking. We turn to scripture to see what the Bible has to say about God's sovereignty over the Earth. We also look through some statistics on opinions on gay marriage in America and explain how protestants tend t...

Today we're joined by Care Net president and CEO Roland Warren to discuss his pro-life ministry and how Christians should respond to and take action on the issue of abortion.
