Guest host Tiffany Cianci takes over The Shannon Joy Show with a blistering breakdown of foreign influence, AI propaganda, captured institutions, Israel’s pressure campaign, the NDAA fight over U.S.-Israel military integration, Ro Khanna’s detention in the West Bank, Trump’s Iran escalation, Mitch McConnell’s disappearance from public view, Lindsey Graham’s replacement, Flock cameras, the Farm Bill, pesticide immunity, and the corporate takeover of America’s food supply. This episode asks the question both parties hate: are elected officials still representing the American people, or the donors, foreign governments, lobbyists, and monopolies writing the rules behind closed doors?

"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." — Luke 19:10 (KJV) What does it truly mean to be lost? In this powerful message, Brother Angelo Serino, missionary to Italy, opens the Scriptures to answer one of Christianity's most important questions. Drawing from Luke 19:10, Brother Serino explains that being lost is far more than simply being separated from God—it is living without true life, seeing without spiritual vision, and facing eternity without hope. What follows is an unforgettable personal testimony. Raised in a missionary home, Brother Serino recounts his descent into rebellion, depression, and a suicide attempt that should have ended his life. Preserved by God's mercy, he eventually discovered that Jesus Christ came for people exactly like him—and exactly like us. The message concludes with Christ's compassion for the multitudes and a challenge to every believer: never forget what it was like to be lost. Featured Scriptures • Luke 19:10
• 1 Timothy 1:15
• Matthew 7:13–14
• Luke 15
• Romans 8:1–2
• 2 Corinthians 5:17
• Matthew 9:36–38
• Revelation 4:11 If you've ever wondered why Jesus came into the world—or what it truly means to be spiritually lost—this message points directly to the hope found in Jesus Christ.

Being lost is more than not knowing where you're going. Brother Angelo Serino explains from Scripture that many people are physically alive while remaining spiritually dead. Through Luke 19:10, the story of Zacchaeus, the Prodigal Son, and his own remarkable testimony, he shows that Jesus Christ came to seek and save those who are lost. This message is both a powerful gospel presentation and a reminder for believers to see the world through Christ's compassion.

Jarome Bell welcomes Dr. Drew Miller to The Radical Republicans for a blunt, darkly funny, and unsettling conversation about collapse, government bunkers, AI, war powers, Taiwan, Iran, pandemics, the fragile power grid, and why Washington seems far more prepared to save itself than the American people. From “continuity of government” to survival communities, this episode asks the question nobody in D.C. wants answered: when everything breaks, who gets protected first?
