Today we're discussing masks and mask mandates, specifically for kids and schools. Singer Carrie Underwood got in trouble with the progressive Twitter mob for simply liking a tweet from Matt Walsh that was critical of masks in school. However, both she and the science seem to agree: There is little to no scientific evidence that would suggest government mask mandates are needed, least of all for schools. And we've got plenty of data in this episode to back that up.

Ep 987 | Healing Breast Implant Illness, Hypothyroidism & Infertility | Guest: Dr. Josh Axe

Today we discuss the Arizona Supreme Court's recent abortion decision and Kari Lake's disappointing reaction to it, which drew criticism from pro-lifers. What SHOULD pro-lifers believe about so-called "exceptions" and 15-week bans? Does the circumstance of the child's conception make him or her any less of a human? Plus, Steven Furtick gave a controversial Easter sermon while donning a pricey pink sweater. And some good news - students at the University of Georgia got impromtu baptisms in pickup trucks.

Ep 986 | Steven Furtick Gives a Master Class in Narci-gesis

Today we’re joined by BlazeTV contributor Delano Squires to discuss social justice activists and DEI, marriage and the family, and whether or not Martin Luther King Jr. was a Christian. Did MLK believe in the bodily resurrection? If not, does this mean his work was NOT beneficial to society? Plus, South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley recently said biological men should participate in women's sports if they identify as women. But does she really believe this, and what are the implications?

Ep 985 | Why DEI Always Leads to LGBTQ | Guest: Delano Squires

Today we discuss the recent online debate over women "hitting the wall": are women past thirty years old simply past their prime? Will men want to date women past a certain age? What are single Christian ladies in their 30s to do? Plus, we break down the recent controversy over former OnlyFans model Nala Ray's conversion to Christianity and her testimony. Do claims that she is faking it hold any water? Is it even our place to judge the sincerity of her redemption story? We look into all this and more.

Ep 984 | Do 30-Year-Old Women 'Hit a Wall'?

Today on this Wellness Wednesday, we're sitting down with Brooke Siem, professional chef, 2017 champion of cooking competition show "Chopped," and author of "May Cause Side Effects: A Memoir." Brooke was put on antidepressants when she was 15, and stayed on them for the next 15 years of her life. She explains the debilitating side effects she endured, her experiences with doctors, and the severe withdrawal she underwent while finally coming off the drugs. She shares her warning to those being put on these drugs, and explains why being an informed patient is so important.
