In this episode I talked with WORLD News Reporter, Lauren Canterberry. We discussed her reporting related to the Mifepristone abortion tablets and her reporting on the SCOTUS ruling that Planned Parenthood cannot receive Medicaid funding in states like South Carolina that have outlawed federal money to be given to abortion clinics.

This was a wide-ranging conversation and one that Christians should listen to. The abortion industry, as bad as it already is, is now targeting underage girls and mailing abortion pill across the country — even to people in states that have outlawed certain abortion pills and even the mailing of abortion pills. The issue of murdering babies is not a debatable issue or a grey issue for Christians, we must defend both the lives of unborn babies and the lives of mothers. This is a conversation you do not want to miss. I hope you enjoy!

Music: "nesting" by Birocratic (http://birocratic.lnk.to/allYL)

In this episode I talked with Dr. Dale Ahlquist. Dr. Ahlquist is the co-founder of Chesterton Academy, the President of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, and the creator and host of the EWTN series “G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense.” He is known as the world leading expert on G.K. Chesterton and is the author of the commentary on Chesterton’s book, The Everlasting Man.

In our conversation we talked about how The Everlasting Man was the book that converted C.S. Lewis to Christianity, and why Lewis said that this book put forth the best explanation of Christianity that he had ever read. We discussed Chesterton’s intellectual ability despite his dropping out of college and never pursuing a higher education. And finally, we discussed what Chesterton would have thought about the modern world we live in today. I hope you enjoy!

In this episode I talked with Dr. John M. Owen, the Ambassador Henry J. and Mrs. Marion R. Taylor Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia. He is also the author of a book called, The Ecology of Nations, and he is the recent recipient of the 2025 Grawemeyer Award for World Order. Back in August of 2024, I interviewed Dr. Owen to discuss his book, The Ecology of Nations, and his political philosophy on foreign affairs.

In this discussion we talk about the complex relationship between domestic politics and geopolitics, the tendencies of authoritarian governments, the flirtatious relationship between some right wing Republicans and authoritarian regimes, and the Iran/Israel 12 day war. This was a wide ranging conversation but it’s one that you don’t want to miss. I hope you enjoy!
