Ep 814 | ‘The Chosen’ Responds to Pride Flag ‘Controversy’ | Guest: Rep. Jessica Baker

Today we're discussing a few controversial topics, starting with a Pride flag spotted on the set of "The Chosen," a popular TV series focusing on the life of Jesus. The flag was seen attached to camera equipment in a promotional clip and belongs to a crew member, which naturally drew a lot of negative feedback. We take a look at whether this is cause for concern and what's realistic to expect from "Christian" shows. Then we move over to Florida, where an Orlando-based convention for furries (peo...

Ep 813 | Is Chick-fil-A Moving Left? & Khloe Kardashian’s Surrogacy Confession

Today we're talking about Chick-fil-A's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, which have provoked backlash today after conservatives discovered some rather left-leaning language on the company's site. We look at what the company claims in these initiatives (and the fact that it has a VP of DEI to begin with) and share the real problems with DEI. Then, Khloe Kardashian shines some light on the dark truth of surrogacy in a new clip from her show "The Kardashians." In the show, she expresse...

Ep 812 | Will Chip & Jo Speak Out Against Target 'Pride'?

Today we're talking about Target's pride clothing line again since news of the company's collaboration with a satanist broke. We take a look at the controversial items in the collaboration and what the artist has said about satanism and Satan. One of those messages is that "Satan respects pronouns." We explain why he's right about this – Satan is the father of chaos and lies. We look at Target's response to the backlash to its pride line, which included pulling the collection from some stores, b...

Ep 811 | How Biden’s Helping China Take Over the World | Guest: Peter Schweizer

Today we're joined by Peter Schweizer , American political researcher and author of many books including " Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win ," to talk about the U.S. government's corruption surrounding China. For a long time, global elites have told us that the U.S. merging closer with China is a good thing, but that's been proven to be categorically wrong. This merging has only made those same elites richer, and they continue to do things like help build the Chinese mi...

Ep 809 | The 'Trad' Movement Isn’t Biblical

Today, we're talking about a movement within both the secular and Christian Right, which has been called the "trad" movement or, in some cases, the "Red Pill" movement. It perpetuates views that could easily be seen as hateful toward women. Many of the men in this movement complain about women and equate masculinity with physical fitness and ultra self-sufficiency. In some of these circles, these men emphasize the importance of finding a traditional, service-oriented, submissive wife. But it's n...

Ep 808 | Lauren Daigle Has "No Idea” About Abortion Law. Is That Ok?

Today we're talking about popular Christian figures Lauren Daigle and Chris Pratt, who both separately found themselves in the news recently. In an interview promoting her new album, Lauren Daigle was asked what she thought of her state's abortion laws. Her response was that she didn't know and couldn't comment on it. This isn't the first time she's chosen not to address hot-button cultural issues. We discuss the ongoing trend of Christians believing that God is too harsh and mean and that we ne...

Ep 807 | 'Loving the Foreigner' Means Opposing Illegal Immigration | Guest: Barry Latzer

Today we're talking about the crisis at the border after Title 42 expired and immigration parole, as well as why Biden's immigration policies are so dangerous for our country. We look at the overcrowding issues at the border, as well as why we seem to see mostly grown men immigrate rather than women and children. Then we're joined by Barry Latzer, emeritus professor of criminal justice and author of "The Myth of Overpunishment: A Defense of the American Justice System and a Proposal to Reduce In...

Ep 806 | Justice for Maple: A Story of Pit Bulls & Political Corruption | Guest: Holly Simon

Today we're talking to Holly Simon of Lawrence and Louise about a tragic pit bull attack that left her beloved cow Maple dead and the city corruption that unraveled following the incident. Holly shares the harrowing story of finding Maple dead in a lake and seeing the dogs run off, as well as the dog owners' refusal to take responsibility. Now, thanks to corrupt city prosecutor Rita Watkins, they continue to go unpunished, and one of their deadly dogs is still free to continue to terrorize their...

Ep 805 | One Year of My Target Boycott (And They're Queerer Than Ever)

Today we're talking about the one-year anniversary of our Target boycott. Last year, Target announced it would start selling chest binders amid its "Pride Month" collection, which was a step too far. We look back at Target's decision and how dangerous and damaging it is to encourage gender confusion in this popular brand for young people. We look at Target's Corporate Equality Index rating and why the corporation cares more about being progressive than about pleasing its customers. This seems to...

Ep 804 | My Mom on Mothering Toddlers, Teens & Adults | Guest: Lisa Simmons

Today we have a very special Mother's Day guest – Allie's mom! She's here to talk about raising children from babies to adults. We start out with some advice for mothers of babies and toddlers: you can't do everything, and that's OK. We talk about the pressure to have it all together and how quickly it will all go by. We also discuss how raising children can be categorized into three six-year segments, and we go through some advice for each segment. We'll share some stories from childhood and gi...

Ep 801 | Don’t Fall for Weaponized Empathy

Today we're talking about the atrocious shooting at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, that took place Saturday. We go through the horrifying event, which took the lives of eight people, and explain why the conversation surrounding gun violence needs to be addressed in good faith by both parties, yet the Left doesn't seem to want to do that. We also look at the media response to the shooting, which – surprising no one – was filled with reporters very quickly building a narrative. Many liberal outle...

Ep 800 | Anthropologie: Women’s Clothes for Men

Today we're starting with a hot topic in the news: the death of Jordan Neely, who was put in a choke hold on the New York City subway after becoming erratic and throwing garbage on passengers and allegedly threatening violence. Many, including AOC and Ayanna Pressley, are calling this a racially motivated incident, though there's no proof that it was. Vigilante justice may not be the answer, but New York City officials have surely shown no motivation to make New York safe for its citizens, as cr...

Ep 799 | Raising Victims: How Leftism Holds Black America Back | Guest: Leonydus Johnson

Today we're joined by Leonydus Johnson , political commentator and author of " Raising Victims: The Pernicious Rise of Critical Race Theory ," to discuss where our country is headed when it comes to how we deal with race. We discuss his accidental fall into the political sphere after realizing the lies of the Left. We talk about why people who claim to be apolitical tend to vote leftward and explain why the ideas of the Left in theory sound so appealing to the unengaged person. We also discuss t...

Ep 798 | America’s Sacrificing Orphans on the Altar of Transgenderism | Guests: Jessica Bates & Christiana Kiefer

Today we're joined by Christiana Kiefer, senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, and her client Jessica Bates, who is suing the state of Oregon for denying her the opportunity to adopt two children because she would not comply with the state’s policy to “respect, accept, and support" any child's sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Jessica tells us her story, from losing her husband in a tragic accident to becoming a single mother of five and seeking to provide a ho...

Ep 797 | Can Women Teach the Bible ... at All?

Today we're discussing gender roles in the church, preaching vs. pastoring, and what a woman is allowed to do biblically. There is a debate circulating on social media over whether women should be able to teach academic theology or exposit the Bible even to other women. We start with definitions of biblical patriarchy, complementarianism, and egalitarianism. The patriarchal view says that if a woman is to teach other women, it must be within the bounds of child-rearing and homemaking. We explain...

We also talk about a recent article Rosaria wrote in which she publicly repented for engaging in "pronoun hospitality," the idea that affirming someone's chosen ident...

Ep 795 | Why Children Don't Belong to the 'Village'

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...

Ep 794 | Can Fox Survive Without Tucker?

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...

Ep 793 | An Atheist & a Christian Define Christian Nationalism | Guest: James Lindsay

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...

Ep 791 | The U.N.’s Push to Decriminalize Child Rape | Guest: James Lindsay

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...

Ep 790 | The Rise of 'Christian' Witchcraft | Guest: Hilary Kennedy

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...

Ep 789 | Did Anime Turn MrBeast’s Sidekick 'Trans'?

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...

Ep 788 | The 'Sextortion' Scheme that Killed His Son | Guest: Brian Montgomery

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 ...

Ep 787 | The 'Tennessee Three' Aren't Heroes

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...

Ep 786 | Mike Todd’s Blasphemous Easter Service

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...

Ep 785 | Abortion Pill Ban? & NPR’s Accidentally Pro-Life Story

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...
