Today we're talking about President Biden's re-election campaign launch and why his decision to run again makes no sense not only because his policies have been disastrous all around, but because he and Kamala Harris can't seem to even string together coherent sentences. We discuss how the average Democrat voter may buy into his message of being "moderate" despite his severe failures. Then, we take a look at his recent comments that "the nation's children are all our children." We reject this ho...

Today we're looking at big news in the conservative media world – Tucker Carlson's shocking and sudden departure from Fox News yesterday. It appears he fully intended to do a show on Monday, which makes this departure all the more bizarre. While we don't know exactly what happened on the inside, many who have had cable news spots before are speculating. But what does this really mean for Fox News, and who could the company possibly replace Tucker Carlson with? We look at AOC's call to silence Tu...

Today we're joined again by our friend James Lindsay, founder of New Discourses, to discuss Christian nationalism. We first look at how prominent Christian figures define Christian nationalism and how it's easy for conservative Christians to accept a definition of Christian nationalism that can result in unwarranted control over all Christians. Where is the line between morality shaped by a biblical worldview and Christian nationalism, and who decides which worldview shapes policy? We debate a b...

Today we're joined by Heather Mac Donald, author of “When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives." First, we're covering the Chicago "Teen Takeover," which saw hundreds of teens in the streets of Chicago causing chaos, smashing car windows, firing guns, and attacking bystanders. Chicago's mayor-elect argues for defunding the police and said we shouldn't demonize these young people. We explain why this leads to demonizing cops inst...

Today we're joined by our friend James Lindsay to discuss a few hot-button topics in the news. First we talk about Dylan Mulvaney's Budweiser sponsorship and its fallout. James explains why corporations are so obsessed with "inclusion" and what's on the line for them if they don't comply with ESG overlords. Then, we look at the United Nations' new report that calls for the decriminalization of all sexual activity (including pedophilia). Of course, this makes complete sense when you look at the c...

Today we're joined by BlazeTV host of "4 Minute Buzz" Hilary Kennedy to discuss all kinds of weird occult products and shows popping up specifically for young people. First, a "Christian" ouija board for sale on Amazon promises to connect people with God. Psalm-themed tarot cards, marketed as "affirmation cards," are also deceptively marketed to Christians, and a ouija board marketed specifically to little girls features a pink kitten-themed aesthetic. This further shows that the glamorization a...

Today we're talking about Chris Tyson of the incredibly popular MrBeast YouTube channel, who announced his transition recently. This has prompted an investigation into his past, which includes what appears to be an obsession with anime, particularly anime with depictions of sexualized young girls. Chris appeared to be a normal, masculine husband and father with a Christian background. So, what happened, why does it matter, and what should we take away from all this? We take a look at other cases...

Today we're joined by Brian Montgomery, a father from Mississippi who lost his 16-year-old son Walker to suicide last December after Walker was the victim of an online "sextortion" scam. "Sextortion" is a form of blackmail where someone threatens to share a nude or sexually explicit picture or video of the victim unless the predator’s demands are met, and often teenage boys are the targets. While this is obviously the most horrifying thing that can happen to one's child, Brian walks us through h...

Today we're talking about the Tennessee Three, three Tennessee state legislators who are being hailed as heroes for their anti-gun advocacy in the wake of the Nashville atrocity. Gloria Johnson, Justin Pearson, and Justin Jones, now collectively the "Tennessee Three," led disruptive protests from the floor of the House chamber, halting proceedings. They each faced votes of expulsion, and only two of them were ultimately removed from the House, causing Republicans in the house to be labeled racis...

Today we're talking about Riley Gaines' recent run-in with trans activists at San Francisco State University. Gaines, an athlete who famously competed against Lia Thomas, gave a speech on fairness in sports, but what started as a peaceful event turned violent when a trans protester punched her in the face. She was then chased down by a screaming mob who trapped her in a room for hours and claimed she couldn't leave until they were given money. We discuss why violent events like this tend to stem...

Today we're talking about a few stories related to abortion. First, NPR published a story about a Texas mom who couldn’t abort her baby (who was diagnosed with a fatal disorder) due to Texas’ abortion law, hoping to provoke sympathy for women who have to bring their pregnancies to term. Now the mother has claimed she cannot afford a funeral for the baby, who passed shortly after her birth. NPR appears to argue that it would have been better for the baby to have been dismembered than to be born a...

Today we're joined by Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, president of the Christian Thinkers Society, pastor of apologetics and cultural engagement at Prestonwood Baptist Church, and author of "Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus—and Why it Matters Today," to discuss Jesus' resurrection and apologetics as a whole. We touch both on how to raise Christian thinkers and how to become Christian thinkers ourselves, citing how Jesus asks us to love God with our hearts and mind...

Today we're joined by one of your favorite guests, BlazeTV's own Steve Deace, host of the "Steve Deace Show," to discuss Trump's arrest and Steve's new movie, "Nefarious." Yesterday Trump pled not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records brought upon him by a Manhattan grand jury. We talk about how this is just an escalation of what has been going on the past few years and how this isn't a legal proceeding – it's a political one. We look at this from a theological approach and t...

Today we're looking at Uganda's "Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023" and the response from the U.S. Two weeks ago Uganda passed legislation that would rather severely criminalize homosexuality. We first look at a Washington Post opinion piece that argues that much of Africa is "marching back on LGBT rights" and reveals quite a bit about how leftists see their own morality in comparison to the rest of the world. The Ugandan bill is waiting to be signed by Uganda's president, but what was the United Sta...

Today we're talking about Trump's indictment and the endless rumors about what it means for both the upcoming presidential election and politics in general. While many speculate that his indictment means he's secured the Republican nomination, we argue that this event ultimately won't change the minds of Republicans who are sick of him. Then we talk about the Tr*ns Day of Visibility (which many activists deemed "Day of Vengeance"), which took place on Friday. Rallies across the country showed th...

Today we're looking back at the aftermath of the Nashville tragedy and some of the awful rhetoric being promulgated by the media. First, we look at the Left's refusal to identify this atrocity as an anti-Christian attack when, if the victims were in a protected class, they would immediately identify the motive. We look at Audrey Hale's history of "not being accepted" by her parents and why some are seeing this as a reason for her inexcusable behavior. Then we discuss how after three 9-year-olds ...

Today we're joined by Kara Frederick, director of the Tech Policy Center at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss Congress' recent TikTok hearings and the arguments for and against a nationwide TikTok ban. We discuss how much power China holds over TikTok as a company and what, ultimately, China could do with our data. We talk about how it's not just a concern when it comes to government data and why it's also dangerous for China to have YOUR specific data. We also look at a clip from the TikTok h...

Today we're talking about a difficult topic – the shooting that occurred at a Christian school yesterday in Nashville, claiming the lives of six people, three of whom were children. We start with a word of encouragement, as emotions are high: God sees this, he is grieved by it more than any of us could ever be, and he will do something about it. We share our condolences to the families of the victims, one of whom was the 9-year-old daughter of a beloved local pastor. The shooter, a woman who ide...

Today we’re joined again by Jinger Duggar Vuolo, author of "Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear," and Jeremy Vuolo to discuss their theology deep dive into Bill Gothard's teachings and how Jinger found herself in gospel truth. In her new book, Jinger shares her theological journey from following a fundamentalist leader to finding freedom in Christ. We discuss the immediate response to the book and some criticisms she has faced because of it. Jeremy shares how his upbr...

Today our theme is "laugh so you don't cry" – we're covering some of the ridiculous things happening in our world, and while things are looking bleak, we're going to laugh at the absurdity. First, China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Putin met last week to ... take over the world? Meanwhile, in the U.S., the cast of "Ted Lasso" visits a White House press briefing (because we have time for that apparently), Joe Biden still can't seem to read from a prompter, and Vice President Kamala Harris sends a fo...

Today we're starting off with a quick Trump update before diving into news from behind the pulpit. First, Pastor Mike Todd made waves after a recent sermon in which he talks about gender identity and sexuality in a pretty bizarre way. We look at the full context of the clip and break down what he was likely trying to say and why it isn't quite as bad as the viral clip going around makes it seem (albeit still strange). We explain why we don't need caveats or apologies for what God says. Then, a p...

Today we have a very special guest – Allie's dad, Ron Simmons! He's here to talk about his new book, "Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon: 15 Ways to Take Charge and Create a Path to Success," in which he shares his story and advice on how to live the richly meaningful life you were meant to live. We discuss his upbringing and how this shaped his work ethic, meeting Allie's mom, and what the "little red wagon" in his book stands for. We talk about finding financial freedom, building up a busi...

We've got an extra special episode today, with a few surprises that have been a long time coming! First, we talk the new set, including our favorite parts. To celebrate our new brand, we asked YOU how the podcast has affected you or changed your opinion on certain topics. We go over a few of your responses and stories and share a few of our own pivotal changes in opinion. Then, we play a game of "Who Said It" between Taylor Swift and Shakespeare (harder than you think!) and Michael Scott and Joe...

Today we're talking about a few popular figures in culture. First, Dylan Mulvaney hosted a variety show this week to celebrate one year of pretending to be a woman. We take a look at some moments from the event and respond earnestly to Dylan: Jesus loves and cares for you. The joy you are searching for is only found in Him. Then, popular YouTuber Shane Dawson made headlines recently after posting a video with his partner about their IVF journey. They discuss the egg retrieval process and how to ...

Today we’re joined by Jonathan “JP” Pokluda, pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, and author of “Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do?” to discuss the book as well as a few other things. First, JP explains his approach to preaching and the rigorous process he goes through to make sure that the sermons he prepares are the best that they can be. Preaching in Waco presents its own challenges and opportunities, since there are many college students who live there. JP talks about how ...

Today we're discussing a recent study many news outlets have reported on, which looks at the children of same-sex couples and concludes that these children fare the same or better than children of heterosexual couples. We start with some thoughts on "gay marriage" in general from a biblical standpoint, which would hold accurate even if this study were valid. Then we break down the study analysis, which was funded by China (the CCP), and its methodology, which has more than a few glaring issues, ...

Today we're joined by Carol Roth, economic pro and recovering investment banker, to discuss Silicon Valley Bank, which failed over the weekend. Carol breaks down what happened on Friday with Silicon Valley Bank's failure, reportedly the second-largest bank failure in history, as well as the subsequent failure of a second bank — Signature Bank. How did the Federal Reserve's rapidly rising interest rates contribute to this catastrophe, and how will it affect us? The implications of this extend far...

Today we're joined by Jason Whitlock, host of "Fearless" on BlazeTV, to talk recent news. First, the White House has given a "Woman of Courage" award to a man on International Women's Day. We discuss what kind of message this sends and ultimately how we should be pushing back on gender ideology. Then, we cover the New York Times' spotlight of a woman complaining about the lack of correctly fitting helmets for black equestrian riders and claiming that sports like this "were only created for white...

Today we’re talking about Jon Stewart’s recent interview with Oklahoma state Senator Nathan Dahm, in which he defended drag show performances and claimed that guns are the leading cause of childhood deaths, which, while somewhat true, is a stretch when you look at certain other important factors. We dive into why and talk about the actual leading cause of child deaths — abortion. Then, we take a look at the Hershey’s Women’s History Month ad, which featured a man who identifies as a woman — a le...

Today we're talking about an article published by the Gospel Coalition that has made waves in the conservative and evangelical communities. The article in question is in fact an excerpt from Josh Butler's forthcoming book, "Beautiful Union," and argues that sex and the roles of husband and wife within the act of sex point to salvation and show the relationship between Christ and the church. We discuss the backlash from popular Christian leaders and others who have deemed the article "too erotic"...
