Dr. Josh Mann and Michael Ryan review the week's top stories. They discuss the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement announced just before Trump's deadline, optimism mixed with skepticism about the regime's reliability, and Trump's "art of the deal" approach. Local coverage includes a Wyandotte County repeat offender with over 50 convictions rearrested for murder while on probation, highlighting soft-on-crime policies and revolving-door justice. The conversation shifts to The Lion's new investigative series "Out of the Dark Ages," examining the origins of youth gender dysphoria as a social contagion fueled by social media, the Dutch protocol's role in puberty blockers and surgeries, and the medical community's reevaluation of evidence. They critique euphemisms like "gender-affirming care," corporate insurance coverage, and the need for parental vigilance. The episode closes with "Faith and Freedom 250," honoring Billy Sunday's bold evangelism and moral courage during America's industrial-era challenges.
