California's election laws are so absurd that it doesn't really matter if there is fraud or not — nobody can trust what their results say. If such a cancer spreads, how can the republic survive? Walter Kirn joins for the entire first hour to talk about that, the racialization of American justice as shown by the Karmelo Anthony case, and more. Eric Metaxas comes in-studio to show off his tremendous new book on the American founding. Tom Fitton explains his unfortunate clash with the Trump FBI and asks why we're still waiting on 75,000 pages of files.

What’s it like to lead with faith in a time of global upheaval? Today’s episode of The Greg Laurie Show features U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio like you’ve never seen him before. An honest and wide-ranging conversation about history, hope, and the challenges of leadership in turbulent times—you’re not going to want to miss this one. 

Fresh off the historic release of the hostages in Israel, Secretary Rubio reflects on the behind-the-scenes courage and teamwork that made the miracle possible—giving us a rare glimpse into the high-pressure world of international negotiation and the personalities driving world-changing decisions. But this conversation goes far deeper than politics: together Pastor Greg and Secretary Rubio also dig into the impact of a God-centered marriage, the importance of strong families, and how faith shapes everyday choices at the highest levels of power.

Secretary Rubio also opens up about his own family’s story, the life-changing influence of his grandfather, and the Scriptures that anchor him during moments of anxiety and sleepless nights. Don’t miss their discussion on the rise of antisemitism, America’s founding principles, and the dangers of political indoctrination facing today’s youth—plus some lighthearted moments featuring Secretary Rubio’s favorite movies, books, and fun presidential history.

Before amen—comes the power of a simple prayer!  Jesus set a compelling prayer example. He prayed before He ate.  He prayed for children.  He prayed for the sick.  He prayed with thanks.  With tears. He had made the planets and shaped the stars, yet He prayed.

Here’s a prayer for us today! “Father, you’ve made me your child through your Spirit. In your kindness you have adopted me and delivered me from sin and death. Remind me today what it means to be your child.  It’s so easy for me to live every day on my own terms. Help me live it in light of your grace.  Thank you for accepting me as I am but not leaving me the same.  In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Here’s my challenge for you! Every day for 4 weeks, pray four minutes. Then get ready to connect with God like never before!

The beauty industry has been putting ingredients in your lip products that they'd NEVER be allowed to put in your food — and nobody is talking about it.

Laura DiGirolamo is a beauty attorney, industry insider, and founder of YOM Beauty, and she's blowing the whistle on one of the biggest blind spots in modern beauty. We're talking flavored balms, vanilla frosting lip masks, tinted glosses — products literally designed for your mouth, treated like they never enter your body at all. She breaks down what's actually in them, why the science is scarier than anyone wants to admit, and what industry insiders already know but won't say out loud.

It was another triumphant women's event for TPUSA in Texas. The show has the highlights, including a clip of Charlie that sent the online haters into a state of apoplexy.

Raheem Kassam weighs the prospects for a post-Henry Nowak awakening of Britain. Lara Logan covers a horrifying euthanasia case in Texas and President Trump's comedic clash with an NBC reporter.

Prayer isn’t a privilege for the pious, not the art of a chosen few. Prayer is simply a heartfelt conversation between God and His child.  When we invite God into our world, He brings a host of gifts: joy, patience, resilience.  Anxieties come, but they don’t stick. Fears surface and then depart. I’m completing my sixth decade, yet I’m wired with energy. Happier, healthier, and more hopeful! Struggles come, for sure.  But so does God.

My friend, He wants to talk with you.  Even now as you hear these words, He taps at the door.  Open it.  Welcome Him in and let  the conversation begin. Here’s my challenge for you! Every day for 4 weeks, pray four minutes. Then get ready to connect with God like never before!

Charlie was always hopeful that the rising generation of American young people would be the one to reverse America's decline. In his speech at the 2023 CLS, Charlie shares this hope with Turning Point's grassroots leaders, telling them to remain committed to truth, purpose, and wisdom. Drawing on the teachings of Aristotle and Plato, Charlie encourages young people to pursue depth over distraction, build strong character, and become the leaders America needs.

Happiness doesn't just happen. It certainly doesn't come from getting addicted to apps and substances. Charlie explains how real happiness and joy are a choice that comes from living a rich life in alignment with God. He also explains how the fastest way to succeed in ministry is to fearlessly speak the truth while others are timid, and gives his definitive vision for what TPUSA's view on social issues is.

Friday marks fourteen years since Charlie founded Turning Point USA in an Illinois garage. The show looks back on what TPUSA has accomplished and the great work that still remains to be done since Charlie's martyrdom, and Blake reads a raft of emails from listeners explaining how Charlie changed their own lives, inspiring them to be better debaters, return to the faith, and even start having children.

Plus, Amber Duke of the Daily Caller calls out the New York Times for their efforts to softpedal new revelations about Democrat Nazi tattoo enthusiast Graham Platner. Alex Marlow joins for the AMA and takes questions on the pride flag, Spencer Pratt, and more.
