Conservative activist Scott Pressler makes his return to the program to discuss his voter turnout and election integrity work and the SAVE America Act, which Pressler argues must be brought to the Senate floor and passed to avoid repeating GOP legislative failures after 2016 and risking losses in the 2026 midterms. Pressler says he will escalate pressure on senators who are not supporting the bill—citing Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and John Thune—by organizing handwritten letter campaigns while the Senate is on break and later moving to rallies and in-person visits, with planned trips to Alaska, Kentucky, and South Dakota. He notes Susan Collins supports the act, expresses disappointment that private citizens are working harder than Congress to deliver on 2024 promises, and says the situation makes him consider running for office. Pressler adds he has not spoken directly with President Trump recently but spent a week on Capitol Hill meeting over 80 members of Congress to build relationships and promote election integrity reform.

Fr. Anthony, Tony, and Cristina talk about the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father Anthony opens with prayer after much focus yesterday on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, Conservative Activist and Co-Founder of Turning Point USA (Conservative Advocacy Group).  After prayer, Father Anthony talks about -ism's: subjectivism, relativism, and hedonism and offers the opinion that these -ism's are destroying our country, as they speak counter to the gospel.  These -ism's keep us from living a God-centered life.  We need to move away from these -ism's that tend to feed individualism and breed narcissism which draw us away from God and faith.  Let us not get angered by this shooting but turn to prayer and focus on God that He may become our center once again.
