Ireland’s voters keep the words "woman" and "mother" in their constitution amidst pressure to upend motherhood and family.

Sam Bankman-Fried gets 25 years in prison, and in what can only be considered a shocking betrayal of our closest ally in the Middle East, the Biden administration refused to veto a UN resolution demanding an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza.

We provide some answers and even bring you a song as a solution! Our favorite real estate expert, Gordy Marks, also joins us and brings good news on the market, insight on interest rates, and more!

We also look at some good news about one way to decrease depression, so join this important conversation!

Eduardo Verástegui, Executive Producer of the newly released movie Cabrini (and Sound of Freedom), joins us to share the story behind the movie and how the movie inspires and honors all godly women.

Joe Biden gave a “fiery” speech that, for most people, did not unite anyone; he attacked almost everyone, and the assault included the Supreme Court Justices sitting right in front of him!
