Megyn Kelly discusses the curious new report about Cuba having 300 drones and why that's BS "pretext" to potential military action by the U.S., why Cuba is not going to attack America and why that idea is insulting to the American people, misleading reporting and collusion between the corporate media and our government, and more. Then Ryan Grim, co-host of "Breaking Points," and Curt Mills, executive director of The American Conservative, join to discuss what it really means for America to "take" Cuba, why America can get what it wants in Cuba without military action, and more. Then Mark Halperin, host of "Next Up," joins to discuss why Senator Bill Cassidy lost his primary, why Trump's influence is still so strong within the GOP, the possibility of Thomas Massie losing his primary tomorrow, the crucial demographic of the white working class President Trump is losing now, why it could seriously hurt the GOP in future elections, whether the GOP is heading for a loss of both the Senate and House in November, why Spencer Pratt could actually win the Los Angeles mayor race, his dominant ads and social media game, and more. Then Jonathan Alpert, author of "Therapy Nation," joins to discuss how modern therapy culture is causing more mental health struggles in society, why mental health is being used to excuse personal behavior, the rise of self-diagnosis, why “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is actually a real disorder, leftists needing to see therapists after Trump won the presidential race, and more.

A curious new report about "drones" could be the pretext to U.S. military action against Cuba. Senator Bill Cassidy loses his Louisiana primary after years of fallout from his vote to convict President Trump and his opposition to the MAHA movement, handing the president another revenge win. U.S. Congressman Thomas Kean Jr. of New Jersey has missed months of votes and vanished from public view while his staff, family, and House GOP leaders insist he is recovering from a temporary illness, despite offering few details. Harvey Weinstein’s latest New York rape trial ends in another mistrial after jurors deadlock on Jessica Mann’s allegation, leaving prosecutors to decide whether to pursue the charge for a fourth time.

What if the thing you’ve been praying for requires the response you’ve been avoiding?

In this powerful message, we dive into John 5 and the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda—a man who had been stuck for 38 years, waiting for change but bound by excuses, disappointment, and patterns. When Jesus asks him a seemingly simple question—“Do you want to get well?”—everything shifts.

In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ question and challenges us to confront the areas where we may be choosing comfort over transformation. With biblical truth and personal insight, she reveals how healing often requires participation, obedience, and the courage to let go of the past.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, defined by your past, or limited by your circumstances—this message will stir your faith and call you forward.

✨ If you’ve ever asked questions like:

● Why do I feel stuck even though I want change?

● What’s actually holding me back from healing?

● How do I move past my past?

● Why does God ask me to do things that feel impossible?

● Am I unknowingly choosing comfort over breakthrough?

What you’ll learn:

→ How to identify and overcome the excuses keeping you stuck

→ Why willingness is key to experiencing true healing

→ What it practically looks like to “get up and walk” in faith

Want to grow deeper in a flourishing life with God?

Neil Shenvi, a Christian apologist, discusses how believers can engage a post-Christian culture with both truth and compassion. Drawing from Scripture and his experience as a former non-believer, Shenvi explains how to build meaningful relationships, point people to Christ, and avoid self-righteousness or fear. The conversation traces critical theory and "wokeness" to Marxist ideas about oppression and power, examining how concepts like equity, inclusion, and lived experience have been culturally redefined. They also tackle gender ideology, preferred pronouns, racial narratives, and the tension between biblical and "poetic" truth — modeling how Christians can hold firm convictions while showing Christlike love to family, coworkers, and those who strongly disagree.

What happens when the stories we tell ourselves end up becoming our reality?

In this episode, Jaime and Alana dive into the fascinating concept of self-fulfilling prophecies and how our internal narratives—whether positive or negative—can deeply impact our daily lives, our mindsets, and even our prayer habits. They discuss why anticipating failure often guarantees it, and how expecting God to move can open our eyes to His limitless possibilities.

Alana shares a hilarious and humbling story about mistaking the brain fog of a severe dairy intolerance for spiritual persecution while trying to memorize the Bible, reminding us of the dangers of confirmation bias and Christian superstition. Jaime shares an insightful story about her son's hockey practice, illustrating how breaking past mental limits can open the door to new achievements, and how she intentionally rewrote her own narrative about being "bad with names."

Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on the power of the words we speak over ourselves and others. From rethinking the unintentional "curses" we accidentally speak over our children at the playground to examining the widespread myth that praying for patience automatically invites tragedy, they offer a refreshing, grace-filled perspective on setting our expectations.

Whether you are battling a habit of negative self-talk, limiting God with small prayers, or simply need a gentle reminder to stop bracing for the worst, we hope this episode encourages you to rewrite your internal narratives, expect God's goodness, and boldly step into the calling He has for you.
