[00:30] Ottawa Protest Against Mandates (16 minutes)While thousands of Canadians roam the streets of Ottawa, peacefully protesting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's lockdown restrictions and mask mandates, the legacy media is reporting it as a “siege” and, of course, an “insurrection.” The elites of Canada are furious over the public's response to the dictatorial measures Trudeau has put in place, and yet Trudeau says, “Mandates are the way to avoid further restrictions or having to be restricted.” [16:15] ‘Desperate to Hide the Truth' (19 minutes)The Department of Homeland Security made a statement on Monday that the United States “remains in a heighten threat environment,” citing no evidence to support its claims. It went on to suggest that the “unpredictability” of the threatening environment is caused first and foremost by “the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions.” In other words, the Communist left wants to double down on suppressing those who would speak the truth. As Donald Trump wrote in a statement released yesterday, “They are so desperate to hide the truth, they'll make it criminal to speak it!” [35:40] Bible Study: Repentance From Dead Works (19 minutes)Paul writes in the book of Hebrews that the first, basic, foundational doctrine of the Church is repentance from dead works. In today's Bible study segment, we examine this first foundational doctrine by looking at the remarkable example of King David's repentance after he sinned against God with Bathsheba.

If you can, consider supporting my work by becoming a patron at PATREON or making a one-time donation through PAYPAL. Thank you! Overview: The GOP honestly doesn’t understand how Medicaid — a health insurance program — works. YET ANOTHER STATE is trying to weasel out of reimbursing Planned Parenthood for services rendered. We discuss that and what it is I’m doing in our nation’s capitol this week. (Hint: it has everything to do with the amazing legislator in the show graphic.) Links to on-air references: "Planned Parenthood class action sought” via ArkansasOnline "Y’all, Norwegians Use The Word “Texas” As Slang To Mean “Crazy” by Dan Solomon at Texas Monthly "Texas Agency Bans Planned Parenthood From Medicaid” at RH Reality Check "Planned Parenthood Won’t Accept Money for Fetal Tissue” at NY Times My Truthout piece on the funding the GOP is after: "The Unseen Costs of Defunding Planned Parenthood” My Truthout piece on Rep.

In brief: Great getting to be on with Sam and Sam! We talked the sham Planned Parenthood “hearing” and news/activism opportunities in reproductive rights and justice. Note: I'm a writer and radio host full time, providing much of my content for free. If you can, consider supporting my work by becoming a patron at PATREON or making a one-time donation through PAYPAL. Thank you! Overview: Such a pleasure to be on with Sam Sacks and Sam Knight — two of those people I know from around the interwebs, but don’t get the chance to chat with all that often. They both do really important work that parallels mine without often intersecting it directly; you should follow what they’re up to starting with this spot. We chatted about the sham hearing on Planned Parenthood’s funding, activism in reproductive rights and justice, and how anyone can get involved in the culture change of reducing abortion stigma as easily being supportive (or at the very least nonjudgemental) on their social media feeds. Links to on-air references: How to get involved (suggestions from the show): volunteer with your local abortion fund (public or private) & support the #BeBoldEndHyde/#4EACHOfUs campaigns from the All* Above All coalition.
