In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, Russian drones breaching NATO airspace, Trump's war on Venezuela's cartels, Mexico's tariff fight with China, a pharmaceutical victory in Tennessee, and new revelations in the 9/11 families' lawsuit against Saudi Arabia. From political violence at home to dangerous escalations abroad, today's brief carries heavy news on a day of prayer and remembrance.   Charlie Kirk Assassinated in Utah: The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University. President Trump called him “a martyr for truth and freedom” and ordered flags at half-staff. Video shows a sniper shot to the neck from a rooftop as Kirk addressed thousands of students. MSNBC sparked outrage with coverage that suggested Kirk's “awful words” made his death inevitable. Bryan warns, “The seal has now been broken: if you make those arguments or say those words, you're fair game too.”   Russian Drones Violate Polish Airspace: NATO confirms 19 Russian drones flew over 150 miles into Poland, with several shot down by Dutch and Polish jets. Bryan cautions that even an accident could spark a “Gulf of Tonkin–like incident” dragging NATO into direct war with Moscow.   Trump Escalates War on Venezuela's Cartels: After U.S. forces sank a drug boat killing 11, critics accuse Trump of overstepping presidential authority. War Secretary Pete Hegseth countered: “This strike sent a clear message: If you traffic drugs toward our shores, the United States military will stop you cold.”   Mexico Tariffs Chinese Imports: President Claudia Sheinbaum hikes tariffs on Chinese cars and textiles to 50 percent, aiming to shield Mexican workers and appease Trump's demands to close tariff loopholes. Bryan notes this could undercut Beijing's backdoor into U.S. markets.   Saving U.S. Antibiotics in Tennessee: Trump brokers a deal forcing Walmart and McKesson to buy amoxicillin from Bristol, Tennessee, rescuing America's last antibiotic factory from collapse. “Don't bet against America,” Bryan says, “because with leadership that actually loves this country, we will win.”   9/11 Families' Lawsuit Against Saudi Arabia Advances: A New York judge allows families to pursue claims that Saudi intel officers Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy aided hijackers. ProPublica reports al-Bayoumi was a Saudi intel asset in the U.S. coordinating with the GIP. Bryan calls for Trump to declassify CIA files: “It's time for some sunlight on what did or didn't happen that horrific day.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Saving America at the Dinner Table What if the future of our country doesn't hinge on elections, courtrooms, or political battles—but on family dinner conversations? That's exactly the vision today's guest, Connor Boyack, shares with us. Connor is the bestselling author of over 50 books, including the wildly popular Tuttle Twins series, which has sold more than seven million copies worldwide. He's also the founder of Libertas Network, a think tank and collection of family-centered initiatives that have changed over 100 laws and empowered kids and parents around the globe. From teaching free-market principles to launching kids' entrepreneur markets, Connor is passionate about helping families raise critical thinkers and problem solvers. In our conversation, Connor shares how his journey—from web developer to outlaw beekeeper to social entrepreneur—unfolded step by step through what he calls “the adjacent possible.” We talk about why most adults underestimate kids' capacity for deep conversations, how parents can break free from simply outsourcing education, and why intentionality is the key to raising thriving children. We also explore entrepreneurship for kids, why college isn't always the right answer, and how his programs like Praxis are creating debt-free pathways to meaningful careers. Most importantly, Connor reminds us that transformation doesn't start in Washington—it starts in the home. Strong families create strong communities, and strong communities create a strong nation. This is a powerful and practical conversation that will inspire you to invest in your family as intentionally as you do your business or health. Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, or educator, Connor's message is clear: the family is where the real work of building a freer future begins.

Utah residents paid tribute to conservative commentator Charlie Kirk on Wednesday at a makeshift vigil outside the hospital he was brought to after being fatally shot. Members of Congress have also responded to Kirk's assassination, condemning the killer. The White House has ordered that all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff in his honor.A manhunt is continuing as authorities have not yet detained a firm suspect in Kirk's assassination. Police say a lone perpetrator is suspected of firing the single gunshot that killed Kirk from a distant rooftop sniper's nest on campus. State police issued a statement on Wednesday night saying that two men had been detained and that one was interrogated by law enforcement. However, both were subsequently released, with police saying neither have any current ties to the shooting.9/11 remembrance ceremonies at New York City, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon are marking the 24th anniversary of the 2001 attacks. Families, survivors, and civic leaders are gathering to read the names of those lost, with moments of silence. Vice President JD Vance is in New York to mark the event, while President Donald Trump is at the Pentagon for the solemn occasion.

In a compelling virtual roundtable hosted by Steve Gurney on the Positive Aging Community platform, three seasoned Aging Life Care Managers (ALCMs) shared their expertise and personal journeys on September 10, 2025. Featuring Samantha McDaniel of Aging Individualized (Maryland), Leslie Mason of Seabury Care Management (DC metro area), and Annette Murphy of Spring Point at Home (New Jersey), the discussion offered a deep dive into the holistic role of ALCMs, addressing real-world challenges like dementia care, emergency preparedness, and family dynamics. Spanning 14 pages of transcribed insights, this session provided actionable strategies for families and professionals alike.The panelists' diverse backgrounds underscored the adaptability of ALCMs. Samantha McDaniel, a solo practitioner with over 10 years in senior living, founded Aging Individualized to deliver personalized care across Maryland and virtually. Her shift from community roles to home-based support was driven by a desire to "impact change" directly where clients live. Leslie Mason, a clinical manager at Seabury since 2004, transitioned from teaching and pediatric social work after a chance hospital encounter with a care manager, now serving older and disabled adults in the DC region. Annette Murphy, leading Spring Point's home division, brought a geriatrics-focused career from therapy and social work, joining the field after mentorship from a national ALCM, seeking freedom to follow clients' needs.Annette Murphy clarified the ALCM role, noting that the term “Aging Life Care” is trademarked by the Aging Life Care Association (ALCA), requiring vetted members to adhere to a strict code of ethics. With backgrounds in social work, nursing, gerontology, or recreation therapy, ALCMs assess the “whole person”—physical, emotional, social, and environmental needs—crafting tailored care plans. Gurney likened them to “wedding planners,” “quarterbacks,” or “wing people” for aging, emphasizing their role in resource navigation and mediation. Leslie Mason added that ALCMs are “big thinkers” who dive into details to enhance quality of life, while the ALCA's eight knowledge areas (e.g., health, housing, legal) guide their practice. Families can find local ALCMs via the ALCA website by zip code.Dementia Care and Initiating Change (Samantha McDaniel): McDaniel noted a rise in calls from families struggling to start conversations with loved ones with dementia. In one case, a woman with mid-stage dementia, isolated and calling ambulances frequently, shifted to assisted living after McDaniel's questions about quality of life—“What do you wake up for?”—led to a self-initiated respite stay where she thrived. She emphasized ALCMs as mediators, helping families navigate resistance objectively.Young Onset Dementia and Dual Needs (Leslie Mason): Mason highlighted the growing challenge of young onset dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's under 65), where resources for older or middle-aged adults fall short. Seabury's information line addresses this “heartbreaking” gap, while she also supports parents of adult children with disabilities facing physical limits, requiring dual-age management.Emergency Preparedness as a Gift (Annette Murphy): Murphy introduced a crisis planning kit, mandated for Spring Point clients, covering evacuation plans, water shutoffs, and “go bags” with emergency contacts. Inspired by her FEMA experience, she framed it as a “roadmap” for solo elders and out-of-state families, addressing power outages and snowstorms. This initiative, expandable to all ALCMs, offers peace of mind.Handling Complex Family Dynamics (Tina's Case): Tina's question about a verbally threatening mother, despite a social worker's involvement, led to suggestions: home-visiting physicians for documentation, psychiatric crisis intervention if needed, and building a professional network. The panel urged assessing competence and risk, offering post-call consultations.

The 9/11 terrorism case has been in legal limbo for more than a decade and many doubt the case will ever make it to take to trial. That's partly because the defendants were tortured in secret CIA prisons, so there are ongoing legal fights over what evidence is admissible. Meanwhile, the accused men are at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and thousands of 9/11 family members wait for a resolution.NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer speaks with two young people whose fathers died in the World Trade Center attacks, as they debate whether the 9/11 defendants should get plea deals.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Monika Evstatieva and Michael Levitt, with audio engineering by Becky Brown.

It's easy to forget how something as simple as a pair of shoes can change a life. But for vulnerable children around the world, shoes mean protection, dignity, and the chance to dream.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is meeting this need with the love of Christ. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share the incredible impact that is being made all around the world, one pair of shoes at a time.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Heart of Buckner InternationalFounded in Dallas, Texas, Buckner International has been serving vulnerable children, families, and seniors for more than 146 years. Their mission is clear: to follow the example of Jesus by serving the most vulnerable in every phase of life. From foster care and adoption to family-strengthening programs and senior care, Buckner demonstrates Christ's love in tangible ways.The Shoes for Orphan Souls initiative began 25 years ago in Dallas as a small effort to provide children in orphanages with something they lacked: their own pair of shoes. Many had to borrow communal shoes from a basket just to attend school.Since then, the ministry has distributed more than 5 million pairs of shoes in 86 countries. These shoes do more than protect feet—they open doors to health, education, dignity, and the hope of Christ.Why Shoes MatterA new pair of shoes provides more than comfort:Health Protection – In many regions, shoes prevent devastating illnesses like hookworm or podoconiosis.Access to Education – In many countries, schools require shoes as part of their uniform, making footwear a key factor in attending class.Economic Stability – Protecting children from illness reduces financial strain on families already in vulnerable situations.Hope and Dignity – Every pair is delivered with prayer, encouragement, and the gospel, often through partnerships with local churches.Stories of TransformationShawn shared two moving stories that reveal the ministry's impact:Romina in Mexico – A seven-year-old girl was overwhelmed with tears when she realized someone cared enough to give her a pair of shoes. That moment reminded Sean why this work matters—it's a tangible expression of Christ's love. Dulce in Guatemala – An eight-year-old girl received pink-and-white shoes so she could attend school. That simple gift opened the door for her family to receive housing, literacy training for her mother, and ultimately, salvation and discipleship for her father.A small act of generosity became the seed of a transformed family story.Your Opportunity to GiveThis month, we're partnering with Buckner to put shoes on the feet of 1,000 children worldwide. Each pair represents health, education, dignity, and an opportunity for children and families to hear the gospel.$15 provides a pair of shoes.$150 provides shoes for 10 children.You can be part of this life-changing work by visiting GiveShoesToday.org. Together, we can share the love of Christ one pair of shoes at a time.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm retiring and turning 65 in February. Right now, I'm covered by my employer's health insurance, but I'm running into issues with prescription coverage. Should I sign up for Medicare now, keep my employer insurance as primary, and then wait until my younger wife becomes eligible for Medicare?I've managed to pay off all my credit card debt, but now my mortgage company has started foreclosure proceedings. They're demanding $2,160, and I'm not sure how to handle it. The FDIC says they shouldn't be taking this action, but I haven't received any formal notification yet.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Buckner Shoes for Orphan SoulsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

This is the All Local 4PM update for Wednesday, September 10th, 2025.

This is the All Local afternoon update for September 10, 2025

Running a farm is no easy task. This hour, how that becomes even more challenging when dementia enters the picture.

Full Gospel Center's Pastor Rick Leonardi preaching the message "Genesis - Part 6" on 09/10/2025 referencing Genesis 4:1-26.

Families across the world have reported chilling visits from so-called “social workers” who arrive without warning, flash fake credentials, and demand to see children—only to vanish without a trace. Were they traffickers, government agents, occult scouts, or something not human at all? Tonight, we open the case file on The Phantom Social Workers: The Child Snatchers Nobody Can Explain.

Florida announced it will eliminate every school vaccine mandate, making it the first state to fully separate public education from government-enforced vaccinations Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo described vaccine mandates as oppressive, declaring that only parents — not the state — should decide what goes into their child's body Families will gain the freedom to send their children to school without facing exclusion for refusing vaccines, restoring control over personal medical decisions Governor Ron DeSantis acknowledged that some vaccines are written into state law, meaning the repeal will roll out in stages through both administrative rules and legislative action Parents are encouraged to strengthen their children's health through lifestyle choices and rely on informed consent rather than government pressure when making medical decisions

Dr Jennifer Taylor-Cousar visits the studio as we explore why health equity matters for kids and families. We discuss health disparities, medical mistrust, and barriers that impact health outcomes. We hope you can join us!

Culture is shaping how we see marriage, parenting, and even desire itself. That's why I created Desire Lab (https://hifam.com/desire ) — my membership for women who want to reignite polarity, attraction, and chemistry in long-term relationships, even when cultural messages push the opposite. Today, I'm unpacking those same culture-wide forces and how they're driving birth rates down across the West. We're told it's about money, stability, or timing… but are those really the reasons? Or is something deeper happening beneath the surface? If you've ever questioned whether parenthood is still worth it — or felt the tension between culture's messages and your own longings — this episode is for you.

In this episode, Elizabeth reviews the new children's movie Light of the World. She shares strengths, weaknesses, and age considerations, then provides parents with practical conversation starters and Scripture passages to use if they choose to see the movie with their children. Discover how to help your kids evaluate the film's message through the lens of God's Word and point them to the truth of the gospel.

This episode exposes how unqualified, politically appointed judges—driven by media-fueled racial lies—are endangering communities and letting dangerous offenders walk free. In Charlotte, a magistrate with no law degree or serious qualifications released Decarlos Brown Jr., a violent schizophrenic, on nothing more than a promise to return to court—even after his own mother begged for him to be institutionalized. The tragic result was the brutal murder of an innocent woman. But the problem goes deeper. Decades of false narratives like “Hands Up, Don't Shoot” and the media's distortion of the Trayvon Martin case have poisoned public discourse, convinced activist judges that criminals are always victims, and turned justice into politics. Even when the facts prove otherwise—such as the DOJ clearing Officer Darren Wilson or evidence showing Zimmerman acted in self-defense—the lies persist, shaping how judges and politicians see the world. Instead of treating violent offenders as threats or people in desperate need of real intervention, the system now sees them only as statistics, votes, or symbols. Victims are ignored. Families are shattered. And the cycle of violence continues. This is the cost of fake media narratives, activist judges, and a justice system that values politics over truth. If we don't demand accountability and real justice, more innocent lives will be lost while criminals walk free under the banner of “restorative justice.”

In this powerful episode, we expose how decades of Democrat-driven policies, lawsuits, and judicial negligence have created the perfect storm of violence, homelessness, and untreated mental illness now spilling into America's streets. The murder of Irina Zerutska by DeCarlos Brown Jr. is not an isolated tragedy—it's the predictable result of a system designed to let dangerous people walk free. Brown's own mother begged the courts to commit him after repeated violent outbursts, including assaults on his own sister. His public defender even raised competency concerns and requested a forensic evaluation. Yet, thanks to activist judges and Democrat policies that make involuntary commitment nearly impossible, he was released time and again—until someone paid with their life. We trace the root of this failure back to the ACLU lawsuit that gutted the 30-day hold standard, once a critical safeguard that gave doctors time to stabilize schizophrenics with medication before releasing them. Without it, thousands now wander the streets untreated, violent, and paranoid—fueling the surge in homelessness and random attacks. Families have no recourse, police are forced to deal with impossible situations, and citizens pay the price in blood. Meanwhile, politicians double down. In New York, the proposed “solution” is to replace cops with unarmed mental health workers in subways plagued by rapes, stabbings, and murders. It's insanity dressed up as compassion—and it will only lead to more body bags. We also uncover how Democrats and their allies in federal law enforcement routinely cover up the ideological motivations of violent criminals when those motives reflect poorly on the left. From hidden 911 calls to buried manifestos, the pattern is clear: protect the party at all costs, even if it means lying to the American people.

Summary Every family inherits a legacy, both the blessings and the struggles, yet God calls us to build something new with Him. In this episode, Mike and Alicia reflect on the importance of having a dream for your family that goes beyond survival mode and day-to-day busyness. Drawing inspiration from the film Field of Dreams, they explore how couples can discern God's vision for their home, create a legacy of love, and take bold, countercultural steps together. Whether you're just starting out or sending kids off to college, this conversation will encourage you to pray, dream, and act with faith that “if you build it, HE will come.”  Key Takeaways Legacy Matters: We inherit patterns from our families of origin, but we can choose what to keep, redeem, or leave behind. Dream Beyond Today: God calls us to think not just about survival, but about a vision that shapes generations.  Unity in Marriage: A shared dream unites spouses, strengthens families, and becomes a witness to others. God Provides the Tools: He uses the gifts, circumstances, and desires already present in your life to shape His vision for your family. Practical Step: Pray together, journal your inspirations, and start with simple habits that align with your family's God-given dream.  Couple Discussion Questions What legacies from your families of origin do you want to keep—and which ones do you want to leave behind? If you looked five or ten years into the future, what would you want your children (or future children) to say about your family? Where do you see God already giving you the “building blocks” for His dream for your family? What small, concrete step can we take this week to begin living into that dream together?

This week, we're re-sharing what we thought was an “instant classic” from last year's Restore Gathering; a deeply personal and thought-provoking message about family, faith, and the complexity of life from Joseph Grenny, author of Crucial Conversations and co-founder of The Other Side Academy.Drawing from his own experience with his own “messy” family, Joseph speaks openly about moments of despair, like the heartache of watching loved ones—including his own children—struggle with addiction, estrangement, and other crises.But at the heart of his message is a radical idea: that the phrase "All is well" can be true even in the face of chaos and imperfection. He challenges the traditional "brochure" image of family success, reminding us that not even the families in our sacred texts had it all together. Through powerful stories of redemption, both from his own family and the lives transformed at The Other Side Academy, Joseph encourages us to rethink what it means to succeed as families, and to embrace waiting as part of God's divine work.We think Joseph's words will resonate deeply with anyone who has felt the pain of seeing a loved one struggle, and we hope it offers both comfort and inspiration. I also want to mention that Joseph's full presentation is available on our YouTube channel. We highly recommend watching it there—his visuals are fantastic, and it's a completely different experience seeing him bring it all to life in person.Joseph will be speaking at Restore again this year, along with a fantastic line up of speakers, musicians, and performers. We would love to have you join us! Visit faithmatters.org/restore to see the agenda and get your tickets.
