Podcasts about Christians

Our culture's growing addiction to fear comes into focus through a surprisingly relatable moment—one that exposes how far we'll go to avoid discomfort and uncertainty. Jase, Al, and Zach connect it to a much bigger issue: the way constant headlines and global tension keep people stuck in a cycle of anxiety and overreaction. The guys push back on that instinct by revisiting what Jesus actually said about wars and unrest, highlighting a message that's often misunderstood and misapplied. They point to a deeper perspective rooted in faith, clarity, and trust in God's bigger plan. The conversation ultimately reframes how believers should respond to fear—not by numbing it or giving in to it, but by stepping out of the cycle entirely and living with confidence grounded in truth.

Glenn expresses how much he feels like a true freedom-loving American every year on Tax Day. How do you celebrate the government's favorite holiday? Glenn goes through the number of attacks on Christians and Christianity by Islamists over the last few years around the globe. TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk had to cancel an event with Vice President JD Vance due to credible threats against her. Glenn also discusses TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez after she was violently assaulted and given a concussion by protesters in Minnesota. Why are we normalizing violence on both sides of the political aisle? The Department of Justice released a massive report that shows how the Biden administration weaponized an abortion access law to go after pro-lifers. Glenn discusses the strange story of the unexplained disappearances of multiple NASA scientists around the same time. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) joins to explain why she's demanding that the Department of War release 46 secret UAP videos after the department missed the release deadline.

Allie addresses the intense backlash she received after responding to Donald Trump's controversial Truth Social post that many claimed portrayed him as Jesus Christ. Allie explains why she believes Trump's explanation is plausible while still calling for greater care and discernment from the president and pushes back against critics who accused her of secretly being “Never Trump” or defending him too much. Allie also dives deep into the escalating feud between President Trump and Pope Leo XIV, breaking down Trump's sharp criticism of the pope's statements on foreign policy, stance on crime, and growing alignment with Islam. For some reason, Tucker Carlson is saying Muslims are offended by Trump's messianic post. Is Catholicism really on the rise in America? She examines the growing Catholic vs. Evangelical divide, comparing where the two groups stand on abortion, immigration, IVF, gender, and sexuality, and explains why — despite the popular “Catholic drip” narrative — data shows Catholicism continues to decline while Protestantism remains strong. As a Reformed Protestant, Allie clarifies what biblical evangelicalism truly means, why she holds to covenant theology, and why Scripture alone must remain the final authority for Christians. Don't miss this timely conversation on politics, theology, and staying faithful to the Bible in a divided culture. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!

It sounds spiritual, but it's not new and it's not harmless.Christians are chasing “special knowledge” instead of standing on God's Word and it's leading to confusion and division inside the Church.Pastor Gary Hamrick joins me to talk about why this is happening and how to stay anchored in truth when everything else feels loud and convincing.Show mentions: http://heidistjohn.com/mentionsWebsite | heidistjohn.comSupport the show! | donorbox.org/donation-827Rumble | rumble.com/user/HeidiStJohnYoutube | youtube.com/@HeidiStJohnPodcastInstagram | @‌heidistjohnFacebook | Heidi St. JohnX | @‌heidistjohnFaith That Speaks Online CommunitySubmit your questions for Fan Mail Friday | heidistjohn.com/fanmailfriday

In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity podcast, J. Warner Wallace tackles one of the most controversial and misunderstood doctrines in the Christian worldview: the Trinity. Drawing on his experience as a cold-case homicide detective, J. Warner treats the identity of God like a crime scene, building a suspect profile from Scripture and then asking: Who actually fits the evidence?   J. Warner explains why the word "Trinity" doesn't need to appear in the Bible for the doctrine to be thoroughly biblical, how the classic attributes of God (omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, eternality, immutability, Creator and Sustainer, and the sole object of worship) apply not only to the Father, but also to the Son and the Holy Spirit, and why this forces us to a triune understanding of God if we're going to be honest with the text. He also explores why groups like members of the LDS Church, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Oneness Pentecostals—who may claim to believe in Jesus—still fall outside historic, orthodox Christianity when they deny the triune nature of God.   Along the way, J. Warner offers a clear, working definition of the Trinity ("one what and three whos"), warns about common heresies like modalism and Arianism, and shows how the earliest creeds and confessions weren't inventing new ideas but summarizing the best inference from biblical data. This episode will help you clarify your own thinking, disciple your kids and students, and confidently engage missionaries and friends who say, "We're Christians too," while rejecting the Trinity.   If this episode is helpful to you, please subscribe to the podcast and take a moment to rate and review it.

In a now-deleted social media post, President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus. He has also recently attacked Pope Leo XIV. Vice President JD Vance, meanwhile, has said that the pope should "be careful" when talking about theology. Robert P. Jones, president and founder of Public Religion Research Institute and author of the forthcoming book Backslide: Reclaiming a Faith and a Nation After the Christian Turn Against Democracy (St. Martin's, 2026), talks about the range of responses from Christians.

On today’s edition of SUFTT, we look at the steady flow of things that make us say, “I never thought I would see that!”, to be followed by, for Christians at least, “What a time to be alive!”. Both expressions are valid. Pigs may not be flying but they are being chased. By a robot. Ask the people in Warsaw Poland. There are so many things that fall into this category it might seem we just don’t focus on the weird and surreal anymore but it certainly paints a picture. Today we talk about tying British citizenship to understanding Muslim holidays; Mamdani possibly tying America’s 250th to something other than being American (more info to follow as we get toward July 4!); the Pope continues his denying ways when it comes to Islam and Christianity; and Your Brain on Ai. Which come to think of it, is similar to our brain after consuming too much news media and we all are at risk.

Did you know the Bible has thousands of hidden threads woven through it that most Christians have never been shown? There are approximately 350 direct Old Testament quotations in the New Testament, but over 3,000 allusions - indirect references scholars have documented that never made it into study Bibles.Dr. Benjamin Gladd, executive director of the Carson Center for Theological Renewal at The Gospel Coalition joins the show to talk about Connecting Scripture, a unique, first-of-its-kind study Bible he co-authored with G.K. Beale, that makes exploring these threads possible for the everyday Christian.This isn't just a study Bible upgrade. It's a whole new way of reading. Ben explains the difference between a direct quotation - those flashing red lights moments like "that it might be fulfilled" - and an allusion, which functions more like an Easter egg hidden in the text. Think of John 1:1 ("In the beginning was the Word") deliberately echoing Genesis 1:1.We also get into some of the harder questions. What do you do when the New Testament seems to use the Old Testament in ways that invert or even contradict the original meaning? And how did the Apostles read the Scriptures?

Becoming a Christian means becoming part of a family. The Christian family is not a natural family but a supernatural one. When one is born again, they see that the same is true for other Christians. The apostle Paul teaches Christians that they are to love brothers and sisters in the faith as though they were brothers and sisters in blood. In this sermon on Romans 12:9–11 titled “Sermon on Love, Part 2,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones warns that this love is not phony love. It is not based upon positive circumstances and not the same as merely “liking” each member of the body of Christ. It is an innate or instinctive love as one has for blood family. There is a strong chance, warns Dr. Lloyd-Jones, a Christian will not have instinctive affections for other Christians. What are they to do? They cannot base their love on feelings since feelings are fickle. He exhorts the Christian to begin with doctrine. The Christian works out their doctrine of regeneration and the teaching of Scripture regarding the household of God. Christians have a bond of faith which surpasses even the natural bonds of blood. Dr. Lloyd-Jones asks the pressing question of believers: what do they feel about their fellow Christians? Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones stirs the listener to consider brotherly love and showing honor to the body of Christ.

Share a commentOne out of one dies, yet most of us spend our lives trying not to think about it. We start with the uncomfortable honesty that sits under every funeral, every fear of aging, and every late night worry: death is universal because sin is universal. Using the Black Death as a grim mirror, we argue there's an even deadlier plague that has touched every home on earth, and we ask why our culture works so hard to drown out the message written on the heart: you will die, and judgment follows.From there we walk through the stories people tell themselves to cope with mortality. Fatalism calls it fate. Skepticism claims nothing can be known. Hedonism says pleasure is king. Evolutionism reduces life to a cycle. Universalism rewrites God into someone who never confronts sin. Then we bring it right into the modern world of wrinkle cures, self improvement obsessions, and even cryogenic freezing. The point isn't that health is wrong, but that denial can never heal what's killing us.Finally, we open Romans 5 and follow three mile markers: Adam initiates the epidemic of sin, the disease is terminal and universal, and Jesus Christ is the antidote for terminal humanity. We unpack what it means to be “in Adam” and why the good news is that you can be “in Christ” by faith, receiving the free gift of grace that leads to justification and new life. If you've ever wondered why Christians can talk about death as a doorway rather than a tyrant, this is the theological backbone.Subscribe for more Bible teaching on sin, grace, salvation, and union with Christ, then share this with a friend and leave a review.

This sermon calls Christians to recognize Christ's suffering not as a substitute that removes their own trials, but as the perfect model by which they are to measure and endure their own crosses. Emphasizing that Christ descended, suffered, and endured mockery to lead humanity into glory with Him, the message insists that the path to resurrection always passes through suffering. Drawing on the witness of the martyrs and the profound prayer of St. Nicholas Velimirovich—written amid the horrors of Dachau concentration camp imprisonment—the sermon highlights the transformative power of suffering when embraced with humility, even to the point of blessing one's enemies. Ultimately, believers are exhorted to bear the particular cross given to them with patience and love, trusting that through these trials God conforms them to the image of Christ and leads them into true spiritual freedom and eternal glory.

After dissing the president, the pope paid a visit to Algeria, where Christians are persecuted. Meanwhile, America's top cardinals are picking a fight with U.S. immigration laws. What is going on with the Catholic Church's leadership? Peachy Keenan talks about that and the departure of Eric Swalwell from American politics. Jacob Siegel discusses "The Information State" that uses control of knowledge to control the public. Jeremy Carl bids farewell to Viktor Orban, the best conservative leader of the past twenty years.

Jase, Al, and Zach dive into the growing buzz around end-times prophecy and rising global tension, making the case that what Jesus finished on the cross reshapes how Christians should see it all. The guys explore why so many people still misunderstand the role of the temple and what it means to live under a new covenant. A chaotic mix of travel mishaps, MRIs, and a golf-game breakthrough turns into a surprisingly sharp lesson about changing your approach when something isn't working.

Savage argues that blaming Israel for global conflict is false and dangerous, criticizing pundits for attacking Jews and Israel while claiming to defend America and Christians. He contends that even if Israel disappeared, radical Islamist groups would still persecute and kill Christians, citing violence and repression of Christians in Nigeria, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Eritrea, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia, and North Korea. He also says many people are desensitized and wouldn't care if Israel vanished, but insists Israel and Jews are not going anywhere and that labeling Donald Trump a "stooge" of Israel is ludicrous. He closes by calling for protection of all faiths from radical belief and for America. He then warns that Islamo-Communism has come to America. He discusses the rise of  the Red-Green alliance and its influence on the future of America.   Call (855) GOLD-099 or go to GetSavageGold.com right now.

Attention is increasingly fragmented in a world filled with constant noise, entertainment, and instant gratification. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explore how distraction is not just a productivity issue but a spiritual one, pulling believers away from prayer, Scripture, and meaningful presence with God and others. The guys explain that the loss of boredom, silence, and patience weakens the soul and shortens attention spans, making it harder to meditate on truth and grow in faith. They emphasize that what we give our attention to reveals what we love, and that distraction in God's presence reflects misplaced priorities. They also highlight how modern habits are reshaping the mind, encouraging quick answers and shallow thinking rather than deep reflection and dependence on the Lord. Through practical steps like removing distractions, creating sacred time, and building disciplined habits, the guys call believers to fight for their attention, deepen their focus, and cultivate a life rooted in God's presence.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

What is a biblical response to transgender theory? What is the relationship between sex and gender? How can Christians best navigate our cultural moment with biblical conviction and compassion? In our discussion, Dr. Smith argues that God's design is for a person's gender to be rooted in his or her biological sex, which is the body God gives. Smith offers a helpful and pastoral critique of transgender theory and talks about where this debate may be headed.Dr. Robert S. Smith is an Australian ordained minister in the Anglican church and a writer in theology, ethics, and music ministry. He formerly taught at Sydney Missionary & Bible College. He is the award-winning author of The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.

Most people think demonic attack only looks like something extreme like possession—but the Bible shows that demons often work in subtle, strategic ways that many Christians never recognize.In this teaching, I break down how demons actually attack people, the strategies they use, and why so many believers fall into traps without realizing what's happening spiritually.To sow into this stream Monthly/ONE time/ https://bit.ly/2NRIBcM PAYPAL https://shorturl.at/eJY57www.Isaiahsaldivar.com www.Instagram.com/Isaiahsaldivar www.Facebook.com/Isaiahsaldivar www.youtube.com/IsaiahsaldivarOrder My New Book, “How To Cast Out Demons,” Here! https://a.co/d/87NYEfcTo sow www.Isaiahsaldivar.com/partner

Patrick answers listener questions about living an authentic faith amid media distractions and cultural chaos, addresses the heartbreak and confusion around IVF, and explains the Catholic perspective on controversial topics like priestly celibacy and Church history. He offers practical encouragement, spontaneous prayers for wounded souls, and straight talk about tuning out noise to focus on Christ. Listeners hear candid exchanges, gentle corrections, and a call to ground life deeply in the Gospel, not the latest headlines.

I thought that the pope would be an advocate for our Country, but he has done nothing for the USA. I am disappointed in him. (46:07)

In a culture where sex is expected early and often… what does it actually look like to wait? Not as a rule, and not out of fear, but as a real, personal conviction.In this episode, we sit down with three Gen Z Christians who have chosen to wait for marriage. Not because they think they're better than anyone else, but because they're trying to live out what God designed for intimacy and relationships.We brought both guys and girls into the conversation on purpose, because this hits differently depending on who you are and what you've experienced.And we didn't keep it surface level. We talked about desire, temptation, dating, boundaries, and the questions most people are thinking but not saying out loud.We'll talk about:Why they're actually choosing to wait and how that conviction formedThe stereotypes people assume about them when they find outWhether waiting feels unrealistic or like they're “missing out”How they handle sexual desire, temptation, and intrusive thoughtsPorn, masturbation, and navigating grey areas in relationshipsHow to communicate boundaries without making it weirdWhat it's like dating while holding that lineWhether they've lost relationships because of itWhat they'd say to someone who feels disqualified because of their pastWhat they've actually gained by choosing to waitThis isn't a conversation about perfection. It's about real people trying to follow God in a culture that's going the opposite direction.If you've ever felt alone in this, confused about what's right, or unsure if waiting is even worth it… this episode is for you.Let's talk about it

Send us Fan MailOn today's PoM Podcast I sat down with John Coleman, co-CEO of Sovereign's Capital, author, and faith-driven business leader who's asking a deceptively simple but deeply pastoral question in his new book, "Good Money: Six Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose - what if the problem isn't money itself, but what we believe about it?"Good Money challenges Christians to rethink money not as a moral neutral or a necessary evil, but as a spiritual tool that quietly forms our loves, habits and priorities. As John puts it, “Money is meant to serve us, not rule us.” When placed in its proper role, it can become one of God's most powerful instruments for good — for families, communities and the Kingdom.To learn more visit: https://www.johnwilliamcoleman.com/Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/ Secure your spot in Tribe XVIII https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-xviiiSubscribe to Recalibrate, the daily podcast from The Pursuit of Manliness: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recalibrate/id1797551549Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herdRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreatSupport the show

Are most, if not all, unbelievers demonized? It sounds extreme. But Scripture might be less ambiguous about this than the modern church wants to admit.Most Christians default to one picture when they hear the word "demonized" - the Gadarene demoniac from Mark 5, a naked man in the tombs, chains broken, screaming at Jesus. That's a level 10. But the Bible describes demonic influence across a spectrum, and the passages we tend to skip suggest that every person outside of Christ is somewhere on it.Paul says the "god of this age" has blinded the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4). He describes Satan as the spirit actively at work in "the sons of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2). John writes that "the whole world lies in the power of the evil one" (1 John 5:19). And in 1 Corinthians 10, Paul makes the explicit connection between idol worship and demon worship, which means that since everyone worships something before coming to Christ, no one gets a pass.This isn't a fringe charismatic idea. It's the Bible's own framework for understanding the spiritual condition of the lost. And if it's true, it changes everything: how we pray, how we evangelize, and what it means to walk someone out of darkness and into the kingdom.In this episode, we examine the biblical case and ask the most important follow-up question: what should believers actually be doing about it?0:00 – Introduction4:50 – Defining Demonization8:46 – Possession vs. Oppression Spectrum15:17 – Satan's Biblical Dominion22:41 – Kingdom Transfer Scriptures37:26 – Moral Responsibility Question42:44 – Fear vs. Engagement55:01 – Deliverance at Conversion?INTRO TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY:

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/14/26), Hank concludes his overview of the days of Holy Week, arriving at Pascha—also known as Easter. It is the day in which the body of Christ worldwide celebrates the ultimate game-changer—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. “If I face hardships in life for merely human reasons,” wrote Paul in his first letter to the Corinthian Christians, “what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.' If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.” Without resurrection, Christianity crumbles. Thus, in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, the apostle Paul provides a four-part argument underscoring the irrevocable reality of Christ's resurrection. Of one thing Hank has become certain—if twenty-first-century Christians would grasp the reality of resurrection like first-century Christians did, their lives would be totally transformed.

President Trump has put Iran on notice as all the empty supertankers head towards the Gulf of America. PLUS, Mike Arnold, founder of Africa Arise and author of the new book Epicenter: Nigeria, Radical Islam, and the War for Global Order, exposes the secret genocide of Christians in Nigeria and tells Shaun about the importance of Nigeria and how it was captured by Jihadists and became the headquarters for global terror. The Heritage Foundation's Dr. EJ Antoni discusses Trump's moves in Iran to enrich our own oil supply vs Joe Biden's moves to deplete it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a world filled with anxiety, doubt, and cultural pressure, how can Christians experience—and defend—the true peace of God? In this episode, New Testament scholar Jeremiah Johnston joins us to discuss his new project, the Peace of God Bible, and why recovering a biblical understanding of shalom is critical for today's students and young believers. We explore how modern culture has reshaped the idea of peace into something shallow and temporary—and how Scripture offers something far deeper, more enduring, and transformative. Jeremiah shares insights from his work in apologetics and cultural engagement, highlighting the growing mental health crisis among students and the urgent need for a robust, biblical worldview. You'll learn: What makes the Peace of God Bible unique from traditional study Bibles Why shalom is more than emotional calm—it's a holistic vision of flourishing The cultural and worldview challenges undermining true peace today How students can defend a biblical understanding of peace in conversations and apologetics Key Scriptures that anchor a deeper, richer understanding of God's peace How the Resurrection of Jesus—and even the Shroud of Turin—points to ultimate peace and hope Jeremiah also shares powerful stories of young Christians whose lives and witness were transformed by embracing Christ's peace. Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or ministry leader, this conversation will equip you to think biblically, live confidently, and share the truth that changes everything.

Life can be tough. As Christians, difficult circumstances can come into our lives and take us by surprise. It's easy to become disillusioned when life doesn't match our expectations. The good news is that we can experience victory through the power of Christ and overcome the obstacles that threaten to defeat us. In this series, Victorious Christian Living, we will discover God's purpose for adversity, His plan for spiritual success, and His power for overcoming life's most difficult circumstances.

Share a commentHoliness is not a personality type, and it is not a private hobby for the overly serious. Peter calls it warfare. When 1 Peter warns Christians to abstain from fleshly lusts, it is admitting something we all feel but rarely say out loud: the battle is not only “out there,” it is inside us, and it does not take days off. We walk through 1 Peter 2:11–12 with a simple framework you can actually remember. First, holiness starts with who you are: God's beloved, yet also an alien and stranger here, posted as an ambassador. That identity keeps you from trying to earn love through performance, and it keeps you from hiding in a safe bubble that avoids unbelievers. Second, we get painfully practical about what you avoid. Abstaining is ongoing, and Peter describes the flesh as running a strategic campaign against your soul. We talk about “guarding the gates” of your senses, what it looks like to stop handing your eyes and ears to temptation, and why “lightening up” is the wrong move when Scripture says wake up. Third, holiness becomes visible. Excellent behavior and good deeds are not about polishing a reputation, they are about building a bridge so someone can finally ask why you live the way you do. If you care about Christian living, spiritual warfare, sanctification, and everyday evangelism that feels natural, this conversation is for you.

When we become Christians we don't just turn over a new leaf, we're spiritually raised with Christ and his resurrection power comes into our lives. And so, what does such an empowered life look like? We're called to be holy, but this is a difficult term to get ahold of. In our modern culture, both the word “sin” and the word “holiness” are almost never used anymore except ironically. But we need to take it seriously.  So let's ask 1) what is holiness? 2) how does it grow and develop in us? and 3) why is it possible to be holy? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 18, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:13-16.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Dr. Hugh Ross about the Ken Ham controversy, biblical inerrancy, the age of the earth, fine tuning, Noah's flood, and why modern science keeps pointing to the handiwork of God. They also break down why so many Christians misunderstand Genesis, and why these debates should not be treated like attacks on the core truths of the faith. Subscribe for clips from The Eric Metaxas Show to hear politics and culture from a Christian perspective.

Segment 1 • There have been many contentious conversations lately about things evangelicals have largely taken for granted. • Todd introduces a major cultural debate: should Christians support modern Israel—or rethink everything? • A deep-dive article promises clarity on one of the most confusing and divisive theological issues today. Segment 2 • What is Israel biblically—a state, a religion, or something far more concrete and ongoing? • Israel is defined as ethnic, national, and territorial—raising uncomfortable implications for modern debates • If Israel spans generations regardless of belief, what does that mean for today's largely secular Jewish population? Segment 3 • Does the modern state of Israel actually matter in God's overarching redemptive plan? • Even without a political state, Israel would still be central to God's purposes. • Cultural Jews, secular Jews, religious Jews—these are outward markers that don't change the Bible's view of who they really are. Segment 4 • Are Christians required to support Israel politically—or is that a dangerous oversimplification? • Israel's existence doesn't equal spiritual restoration—so what should believers actually affirm? • Romans 9–11 raises a divine mystery: Israel is in unbelief, and yet part of God's plan. ___ Thanks for listening!

It's a News Day Monday on The Majority Report   On today's program:   Trump, Vance and the right-wing media orbit suffers a humiliation after Viktor Orban loses his re-election bid in Hungary. Trump spends the weekend attending cage fights and posting repeatedly on Truth Social, including an attack on Pope Leo, whom he calls "soft on crime." He also shares an AI-generated image of himself depicted as Jesus Christ healing someone. After facing backlash from Christians, Trump claims he thinks he is portrayed as a doctor because "he makes people feel better." To reinforce that point, he then presents a woman whose husband is undergoing cancer treatment, claiming the president is covering the cost. Harry Enten presents polling showing that JD Vance's net popularity is cratering and that American's feel like the administration is too focused on foreign affairs.   Maria Bartiromo asks Trump if he believes that gas and oil prices will come down before the midterms to which Trump answers with "I think so, could be the same, maybe even higher".   Senator John Barrasso claims that Democrats like higher gas prices because it fits their radical climate agenda.   In the Fun Half:   New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivers his 100-days-in-office address, invoking FDR's first 100 days. In the speech, he announces five city-run grocery stores, faster buses, and a plan to containerize all trash across the city.   Dave Rubin tries to attack Mamdani on his tax and childcare plans by using outdated footage out-of-context in a lazy segment that falls flat on his face.   Fox News' Griff Jenkins has come up with his own anagram as a rebuttal to Taco Trump.
