John discusses the Gavin Newsom-Chevron feud, and vents his frustration at Chevron giving Xavier Becerra a $500,000 campaign contribution: why do big corporations give money to Democrat politicians who hate them? The Fresno County Board of Supervisors approached two different LGBT issues differently: Pride Month in the libraries vs a booth at the Pride Parade for County Public Health. The Spencer Pratt campaign is blowing up on social media, but John wonders whether actual Angelenos are going to vote with him. Would Spencer Pratt be a better fit running for governor?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom urged drivers to avoid Chevron stations over Memorial Day weekend, arguing the company’s branded gas costs significantly more—often 60 to 80 cents per gallon higher than unbranded alternatives. He said cheaper, unbranded fuel comes from the same sources and meets the same standards, accusing “Big Oil” of profiting during global supply disruptions and warning consumers not to overpay just for the brand. Critics point out that most Chevron stations are independently owned. Chevron is fighting back with signs and stations that put the blame on Sacramento. John Gerardi sits in for John Broeske.

This week on Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller break down a potentially monumental Supreme Court case that could reshape the landscape of chemical abortions in the U.S. They discuss the 5th Circuit's ruling against mailing Mifepristone, the Supreme Court's temporary stay, and the Trump administration's controversial legal stance. They explore the rise of telemedicine abortions, the slow-moving FDA safety review, and the political implications for pro-life advocacy. Later, longtime volunteer Dina Shwiyhat shares her powerful personal story about the impact of abortion in her life and how it led her to dedicate her talents to Right to Life's LIFEHOUSE outreach efforts.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive into a viral congressional hearing where Rep. Brandon Gill presses an abortion advocate to name her "favorite" abortion method—and her refusal to answer sparks a bigger conversation about the moral and cultural realities of abortion. The hosts also discuss a landmark 9-0 Supreme Court ruling protecting pro-life pregnancy centers from harassment by state governments and share powerful "Stories from the Sidewalk" with Linda Teliha, including a life saved after someone saw a literal sign of hope outside Planned Parenthood.  

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller explore the upcoming July 4th expiration of Planned Parenthood's defunding, the political challenges facing pro-lifers, and the missed opportunities of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

In this episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive deep into the Department of Justice's 882-page report on the Biden administration's alleged weaponization of the FACE Act. They break down how the law—originally passed in 1994—has been applied almost exclusively to pro-life activists, the precedent it sets for First Amendment concerns, and why the federal government's involvement is controversial. The discussion then shifts to the rise of euthanasia and the dangerous euphemisms such as "medical aid in dying," highlighting how language shapes the debate on life issues. Finally, the show reflects on former Senator Ben Sasse's public journey through terminal illness and what it teaches about living—and dying—with dignity.  

A longtime Fourth of July tradition in Long Beach is facing major upheaval after the California Coastal Commission denied a permit for the city’s signature “Big Bang on the Bay” fireworks show, triggering backlash from residents, business owners and local leaders. The decision means that for the first time in 15 years, the July 3 celebration over Alamitos Bay will go without its hallmark fireworks display. This comes as America celebrates its 250th birthday.

Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is now “completely open” to commercial shipping, tying the move to a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and ongoing U.S.–Iran talks. But the reopening is far from unconditional. The U.S. has kept its naval blockade of Iranian ports fully in place, continuing to turn away ships linked to Iranian trade.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s memoir, Young Man in a Hurry, briefly landed on national best‑seller lists earlier this year, but newly disclosed data shows the book’s apparent success was largely driven by Newsom himself. According to sales tracking and federal filings, the memoir sold roughly 97,000 print copies since its February release—but nearly two‑thirds of those copies, about 67,000, were purchased and distributed by Newsom’s own political action committee, the Campaign for Democracy. The PAC spent approximately $1.56 million buying the books. John Gerardi in for John Broeske.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has canceled several book tour stops, including Sacramento, and KCRA political reporter Ashley Zavala reports that security logistics involving the California Highway Patrol are a key factor. With Harris no longer receiving Secret Service protection, the state has stepped in with a CHP detail—but officials won’t disclose how many officers are assigned or how much the protection is costing California taxpayers.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dig into California's SB 106 — a freshly signed bill giving Planned Parenthood's seven California affiliates a $90 million no-strings-attached giveaway, on top of the $140 million they already received in October. They break down why this is less about healthcare and more about political backscratching: Planned Parenthood championed Prop 50's redistricting initiative, whose new maps were drawn by Paul Mitchell — who happens to be married to Jody Hicks, CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. The guys also point out the glaring irony that the one Planned Parenthood service unaffected by the federal Medicaid cutoff is abortion — the very thing California is racing to protect with state dollars. The episode closes with a sharp analysis of Gavin Newsom's press conference signing ceremony, where his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom visibly mocked female journalists for asking tough questions about high-speed rail, the Capitol annex cost overruns, and the LA fires — rather than lobbing softballs about abortion. John and Jonathan argue Newsom isn't doing this for women's health; he's auditioning to be the Planned Parenthood candidate for 2028. The show wraps with event announcements: Golf for Life on April 27, 40 Days for Life underway, and the California March for Life on March 16.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller break down a California Assembly floor debate over a $900,000 no-strings-attached grant to Planned Parenthood — set against the backdrop of the federal defunding triggered by the "One Big Beautiful Bill." They play audio clips and dissect the political theater, including Assembly members Tangipa and De Mayo pushing back while Democrat colleagues defended the funding as "preventative care." The irony isn't lost on John and Jonathan: California styles itself a "reproductive healthcare haven," yet Madera County women have to leave the county to deliver a baby, Madera Community Hospital has no open maternity ward, and one in four California women get inadequate prenatal care. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood pockets $90M free and clear while hospitals survive on loans. They also connect this to Prop 50's redistricting scheme (which Planned Parenthood helped fund) and close with a segment on why assisted suicide hasn't exploded in California the way it has in Canada — and why that could change.
