Human Trafficking, From Ukraine To The Southern Border

Martha MacCallum, host of The Story on the FOX News Channel, sits down with a major newsmaker each week to get their "Untold Story." Martha's guests share inspiring stories of perseverance, positivity and more.

Though the horrors of D-Day live on today through diaries, documentaries, and other records -- few veterans are still alive and able to remember the tragedy that occurred on June 6th, 1944. But there are some, like 98-year-old Jack Gutman, who is still able to recount why honoring the sacrifice and bravery shown on that day 80 years ago is so crucial.
 
Today, Jack recounts his experience serving as a medic on Omaha Beach at just 18 years old on D-Day -- tending to countless wounded and dead soldiers on the beach. He discusses how this day still stays with him heavily and led him to write, "One Veteran's Journey to Heal the Wounds of War," and what his thoughts are on the current state of America.

Surviving D-Day: A Veteran's Story

Addiction has become such a staggering problem in America that many people have become desensitized to it. However, turning our heads the other way is the last thing we should be doing if we want to help those falling victim to this disease -- which is why former Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy is refusing to be quiet about it. 
 
In his new book, 'Profiles in Mental Health Courage,' Congressman Kennedy shares how his personal struggle with addiction profoundly impacted his life, and how he would not have been able to be in long-term recovery if he wasn't given the proper support and resources that so many addicts are not given.

Replacing Judgment With Action When Treating Addiction

As former President Donald Trump's trial hits a pivotal point, with both the prosecution and defense resting their cases -- only closing arguments remain before the jury decides what the verdict will be in the former President's New York hush money trial. To discuss what they both saw live from the courtroom earlier this week, Martha sits down with Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL) to debrief on what they observed during the trial and their thoughts on the jury's reactions.
 
They also discuss the helicopter crash that killed the Iranian president, and why Rep. Waltz, accompanied by fellow veterans in Congress, is honoring the 80th anniversary of D-Day by jumping out of original C-47 transport planes.

Inside the Courtroom: Congressman Mike Waltz On the Former President's Trial

A great deal of research has found that "Gen Z," specifically those born after 1995, is the generation being hit the heaviest by the mental illness epidemic -- as rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide skyrocket among young people. What is the biggest change this generation has experienced in life? The birth of smartphones and social media. 
 
Author of 'The Anxious Generation,' Jonathan Haidt shares the evidence he's seen that reveals how technology plays a role in Gen Z's poor mental health, why parents didn't recognize the damage smartphones could do until it was too late, and the ways society can adapt our behavior (especially in our households) to revolve less around technology.
