In today's episode, the Chicks sit down with Bulwark Capital's Zach Abraham to break down a viral interview with Federal Reserve Governor about Trump's plan for mass deportations and what it could mean for inflation, GDP, housing, and the long-term U.S. economy. Zach explains why removing millions of Biden-era illegal immigrants could create disinflation, reduce crime and government spending, and finally ease the pressure on the housing market. They also dig into the constitutional power of the executive branch, why the Fed has failed for decades, and how unchecked immigration fuels chaos at every level. Plus: Soros networks, globalism, sovereignty, assimilation, and raising “dragon killers” in a world gone mad.Get back to basics with Bulwark's Know Your Risk Portfolio Review—don't put it off, go to KnowYourRiskPodcast.com today.Subscribe and stay tuned for new episodes every weekday!Follow us here for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:YoutubeFacebookInstagramTikTokXLocalsMore Info

On October 1, 2017, Mary Jo von Tillow's world changed forever.Her husband, Kurt, was killed in the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting in Las Vegas, the deadliest in U.S. history. In just eleven minutes, her life—and the lives of thousands of others—were shattered.But what followed was more than grief. Out of devastation came unexpected bonds with other survivors, advocates, and families who knew the same kind of loss. From a 9/11 firefighter who turned his pain into kindness, to a victims' rights attorney who changed national law, to fellow widows and survivors who refused to give up, Mary Jo discovered what it means to carry tragedy together.The Las Vegas Massacre Connections is both a deeply personal account and a collective portrait of resilience. Through Mark Gray's in-depth reporting and Mary Jo's courage to share her story, this book captures the enduring impact of Route 91 and the human strength that rises after unimaginable loss.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

“Why don’t all Christians speak in tongues?” This question opens a discussion on the Church’s teachings about this practice, including why not everyone experiences it and the belief that it is not essential for salvation. Other topics addressed include the authority of the papacy in the early Church and the significance of having a Mass said for the deceased. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 05:10 – What does the Church teach about speaking in tongues? Why can't everyone speak in tongues? and Why do we reject the notion that speaking in tongues is necessary for salvation? 19:00 – What specifically can we do or not do in terms of blessing others? 39:48 – My friend argues that the authority of the papacy didn't exist in the early Church. How can I better explain that the pope had supremacy from the beginning? 41:45 – What is a male in the context of priestly ordination? 53:00 – What does God do differently if I have a mass said for my deceased father?

Patrick fields questions ranging from interfaith marriage challenges and sacramental validity with Catholic and Mormon backgrounds, to the moral concerns around IVF and surrogacy, offering honest, direct responses. Lighthearted moments arise as listeners ask about the show’s quirky music, while practical faith matters like kids at Mass and women’s veiling spark candid reflection. One caller’s emotional struggle with the show’s treatment of Mormonism, as well as a spirited critique from a listener, prompt Patrick to address criticism head-on and keep the conversation refreshingly real.

Patrick brings unexpected energy, bouncing from quirky pop culture nods to sharp questions about plastics, climate, and faith. He passes the mic to callers, blending stories from everyday lives with firsthand Senate hearing drama and childhood curiosity. Ancient wisdom meets modern-day struggles—one moment environmental stats, the next an eight-year-old searching for sainthood.

(3:15) Bible Study: Isaiah 29:17-24 Redeemed and the world to come. Matthew 9:27-31 What does this passage mean really? (21:39) Break 1 (23:21) Letters: Is there a difference between someone who sins and someone who is a regular sinner? How does the gift of tears relate to the other gifts of the bible? Father answers these and other questions, send him a letter at simon@relevantradio.com (32:16) Break 2 (33:44) Word of the Day Santa Claus (37:02) Phones: Diane - In the New Testament it says 'many are called but few are chosen'. What does it mean that, 'few are chosen' Alonzo - The priest at Mass today said the Matthew that wrote the Gospel is not the same Matthew who was an Apostle. Is this true? Joseph - I want to push back against the letter you received about sin. Wouldn’t it be the case that if someone aims at a different target, they still miss the target so 'Hamartia' could still apply? Rich - In the New Testament the historic Jesus says he is not allowed to associate with the Canaanite woman. What is your interpretation of this passage? I think Jesus is rejecting Catholicism here because Catholicism comes from the Etruscans.

The Scripture readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120525.cfmTo encounter Christ is to encounter the One who heals—physically, spiritually, supernaturally. Today's Gospel reminds us that miracles are not mythology but reality. Two blind men cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us.” Their plea becomes the seed of what the Church would later cherish as the Jesus Prayer—“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”The Fathers of the Church teach us that Scripture works on multiple levels. Historically, the miracle happened. Allegorically, the story unveils the drama of the spiritual life. We, too, are often blind—moving through seasons of darkness, dryness, and desolation. St. John of the Cross calls this the “dark night of the senses,” a purification God permits so that we learn fidelity beyond feelings.Yet God does not leave the faithful in darkness. For those who persevere, He leads them into illumination, contemplation, even the grace of infused prayer—where, as St. Teresa of Avila describes, the soul is “invaded by the supernatural.” Prayer shifts from something we do to something God does in us.This is the heart of the Jesus Prayer. Slowly, reverently, breathed in rhythm with the heart, the soul becomes accustomed to the presence of Jesus. The Eastern saints tell us that one can reach the place where even in sleep the heart continues to pray.This is our call: not merely to “say prayers,” but to become prayer. To carry Jesus in every breath. To let His name shape our thoughts, our conversations, our interior life. When we invoke His Holy Name, He draws near—because He desires intimate communion with us.To go deeper in your spiritual life, visit DivineMercyPlus.org, our free, ad-free Catholic streaming platform.

In biblical times, leprosy was often viewed as a divine punishment, a mark of sin or impurity. Such beliefs fostered fear, ostracism, and discrimination. The biblical portrayals of leprosy reinforced a narrative that associated it with moral wrongdoing, leading to social exclusion and isolation. But what is Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s Disease? And how exactly does scripture employ this terrible affliction in its teachings? E166.

“Are laypeople supposed to raise their hands during the Our Father?” This question opens a discussion on the practices of the Mass, alongside inquiries about the role of saints in intercession, the meaning of almsgiving in Sirach 3:30, and how to reconcile personal distrust in the Church while seeking to return. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:58 – Are we supposed to raise our hands or hold hands during the Our Father as Mass? 15:38 – I notice people specifically ask saints to heal or protect them, not God. It’s off-putting. Can they do other things apart from interceding? 23:10 – In Sirach 3:30 it says that almsgiving atones sin. What does that mean? 24:50 – How do I reconcile my distrust for the Church? I want to return but I'm conflicted. 45:20 – I'm a Christian and a minority. How do you deal with people who tell me I should convert because their religion is better? 50:34 – I get frustrated when the choir sings and adjusts the responsorial Psalm. What would you recommend I do?

Patrick welcomes listeners into a whirlwind of raw, real-life questions, from family wounds laid bare, forgiveness clung to by a thread, to faith decisions that ripple through generations. He fields everything from praying the Rosary during Mass to whether a “paper divorce” for insurance savings crosses the moral line, all while sharing stories of conversion and hope, like the grateful mother calling in with a baby in her arms. In these calls, Patrick moves through uncertainty and grace with a steady, honest voice, constantly challenging assumptions as he weighs Scripture, Church teaching, and the joy of lived experience. Brandon - I had to disclose a family secret and this has caused a hug rift. How can I forgive my family members? Should I reestablish contact or keep them cut off? (00:48) Aaron - I am struggling with the idea of where babies go when they are not born whether aborted or miscarried or still born. What happens to that? Do you have any comforting words? (11:30) Cayden - I was approached by a woman after mass who told me that I wasn't allowed to pray the Rosary during Mass. Is this true? (20:10) Jessica - I want to give you an update on the birth of my baby. You helped me and gave me the advice not to tie my tubes. Thank you. This is the child you helped bring into the world. (23:12) Jim - I am a Protestant. I see that the reading of the Bible, coming from Vatican II by lay people, was a positive thing. Would you agree? (29:30) Gary - Can I receive the Eucharist as a non-Catholic at a Catholic Church? (36:24) Todd - I have heard that people in their 60s are engaging in civil divorce to keep healthcare costs down. Is it ok to get a civil divorce, yet remain married in the eyes of the Church? (45:23)

Patrick answers thought-provoking questions about the Eucharist, clarifying why its substance changes but the physical aspects remain unchanged, and relates this to philosophical and theological principles. He helps listeners who wonder if the Mass connects them to Calvary and the Last Supper, backs it with Scripture, and shares personal encounters with anti-Catholic sentiment, offering resources to strengthen faith and understanding. Joseph - As Catholics, we believe in transubstantiation. Why is it that the chemical bonds are not part of the substance? (00:47) Kathy - Are we with Jesus at the Last Supper during the Mass? (16:05) Andy – My family told me the Catholic Church was created for political gain. What do you think of this? They also accuse Catholics of preaching a different Gospel and that Protestants have the true Gospel. (18:59) Fr. Rocky talks with John Morales about his book, Mary at the Crossroads of History (35:10)

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120425.cfmIn this powerful Advent homily, Fr. Mark reveals why the Church gives us such seemingly “unrelated” readings during the early days of the season. Beneath the surface, he shows a single thread tying them together: Israel's longing for a Messiah who would finally give humanity the power to live God's will. From the failures of the Old Testament to the warnings of the prophets, the people discovered what we must rediscover—misery always follows when we trust ourselves more than God.Israel's exile, their suffering, and their longing formed the backdrop for Advent hope: a Messiah who would restore not only the kingdom, but the human heart. As Fr. Mark explains, God's will is never arbitrary. Because “God is goodness itself” (CCC 199), His will can only be good, healing, and life-giving. When we surrender to that will, we stand on the unchanging rock of divine truth—immovable, stable, and at peace. “Order brings peace,” says St. Thomas Aquinas, and Advent invites us to let God reorder our desires so that our hearts may rest in Him.Jesus warns us in today's Gospel that salvation is inseparable from doing the Father's will. Advent, then, becomes a season of holy realignment: turning from sin, renouncing self-reliance, and trusting in God's providence with the same hopeful expectation Israel once knew. As we prepare for Christmas, Fr. Mark urges us to pray with conviction: “Not my will, Lord, but Yours be done.”To deepen your Advent journey, explore more teachings on DivineMercyPlus.org and the free, ad-free Divine Mercy Plus app. Visit the link in our bio for homilies, reflections, the Rosary, the Chaplet, and Advent resources to guide you toward Christ.#marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy#frmarkbaron #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #catholictiktok#godswill #advent #preparetheway #catholichomily #dailyhomily #scripture #faith #hope #repentance ★ Support this podcast ★

Are you attracting the wrong clients? Does your sales process feel harder than it should? Are you constantly trying to convince people to convert even though you know you're offering an incredible service?Here's what's actually happening: you're saying premium, but your pricing and packages don't feel premium. Or you're marketing luxury but delivering a mass market experience. This misalignment is creating massive friction in your business, and most entrepreneurs don't even realize it's happening.Today I'm breaking down the three brand tiers that exist in every industry: Mass Market, Premium, and Luxury. Understanding which category you're in (or want to be in) will completely change how you price, market, sell, and attract clients. I'm walking you through examples like Target versus Apple versus Chanel, McDonald's versus Starbucks versus a Michelin star restaurant, and breaking down what each tier means for your pricing strategy, marketing approach, and client experience. This isn't about one being better than the other. It's about knowing which brand you're building and making sure everything in your business actually aligns with that category.00:35 Introduction 03:21 Understanding Brand Categories and Their Impact13:18 Mass Market Brands: Characteristics and Strategies32:11 Premium Brands: Characteristics and Strategies37:52 Apple's Experience Revolution39:50 The Value of Premium Products42:00 Setting Prices as a Premium Brand43:50 Discounts and Bonuses Strategy44:57 Marketing to Premium Customers51:46 Understanding Luxury Brands54:25 The Essence of Selling LuxuryTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Massachusetts officials are laying groundwork for a plan to offer coastal residents money for their homes as threats like flooding and erosion increase due to climate change. But it can be hard to convince people to leave or get enough money to buy expensive homes.

Patrick answers listener questions about faith sacrifices, the challenge of attending Mass from remote areas, and what the Church says about intimacy in marriage. His answers are blunt and compassionate, shifting quickly between stories from callers and firm pro-life guidance, never shying away from hard emotional truths, especially around abortion and IVF. Personal anecdotes and candid advice fill the hour with tension and empathy. John (email) – There isn’t a Catholic Church near me. Should I go to a Protestant Church or watch a Catholic Mass online? (01:03) Erika (email) - Within marriage, is various touching and intimate actions as well as different positions (during the marriage act) morally permissible as long as it all leads up to the act being completed in the normal way? (06:10) Elijah - I worked in a shipyard in Alaska and would drive close to 2 hours to Church after working a full day of work. It is doable. (12:22) Email – Question about abortion (18:27) Audio: Former abortionist Anthony Levatino "I did 1200 abortions, 1st and 2nd trimester. 1 was for rape, 2 were for incest, 9 or 10 were for genetic effects. And all the rest of them were healthy moms and healthy kids.” "People don’t want to believe that, but it’s the truth." https://x.com/LifeNewsHQ/status/1992988281366253650 (28:39) Audio: Abortion hurts men, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1NQOFu7cAc&ab_channel=LiveAction (30:37) Joan - I agree with everything you have said. I had abortions over 50 years ago. I was talked into it. (36:59) Ann - My daughter had cancer during the summer, and they made her get an abortion. Also, her husband and her had an embryo frozen. What does the Church teach on this? (40:07)

Patrick responds to callers grappling with transgender issues, offering resources and discussing a minister’s public transition. He confronts questions about compassion, truth, Catholic teaching, and everyday faith challenges including confession and reverence at Mass, weaving in practical advice and unscripted commentary. Sharp cultural critique collides with moments of empathy, and Catholic guidance is ever-present. David - What would Patrick recommend to help discern transgederism from a Catholic perspective? What academic resource can I use to support my arguments with a person who wants to change their sex? (01:18) Audio: United Methodist Church "pastor" announces during his sermon that he is now "transgender". “ I’m not becoming a woman, I’m giving up pretending to be a man” - https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1995877764076110042?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (03:30) Audio: Piers Morgan - why can’t I identify as a black lesbian - https://x.com/paulembery/status/1992653633716928837?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (12:51) Audio: CisAmerican liberal gets educated by transindigenous man of color - https://x.com/josh_seiter/status/1983192159227691221 (16:42) Rosemary - As a Catholic, I don't want to be far left or far right. I think we need more compassion to people like that Methodist pastor. (22:16) Jessica - Is it better for kids to go behind a screen or face to face? (26:49) Don - We should agree to take care of American citizens first and then illegals secondly and vet them. What would Christ do? (34:34) Jordan - I have 2 daughters. I am an American living overseas in Australia. When should I do the Baptism of both of my daughters? (41:48) Nick - I am a lector and want to know your opinion on bowing to the altar. Is this ok? I would rather give recognition to the tabernacle. (46:26)

Patrick answers urgent questions on immigration, justice, and faith, fielding passionate calls from listeners who draw connections between vetting newcomers and while expressing real concern for public safety and moral responsibility. He weaves in global stories from places like the UK and Sweden, confronting the human struggles and government challenges head-on while exploring practical, faith-driven solutions. Packed with firsthand perspectives, quick pivots to family and religious education, and bold examinations of controversial policies, the conversation refuses to flatten complex experiences. Mark - With all of the millions of people who came over the border, is that using people? Is it an immoral action by the United States to let all of those people come over like that? (00:37) Audio: let’s put the British people first for once - the British people are paying $13 billion a year on welfare benefits for people who are not even British. this is a ticking time-bomb - https://x.com/goodwinmj/status/1981813992994590781?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (08:49) Audio: Douglas Murray explains the honest truth about the UK’s ridiculous immigration policies - https://x.com/yossibenyakar/status/1981370915226107927?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (10:06) Audio: Bill Maher on Sweden’s immigration problems - https://x.com/rickydoggin/status/1979007555184574800?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (12:31) Audio: A London woman calls in to JuliaHB1 at @TalkTV and cries her eyes out in desperation "We're not racist we're petrified" "What are these politicians doing to us.

It's Wednesday, December 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Thailand orders Christian back to Vietnam to likely torture Last Wednesday, a court in Thailand ordered that a Christian activist and asylum seeker must be sent back to Vietnam. Y Quynh Bdap, the co-founder of Montagnards Stand for Justice, faces a 10-year sentence in Vietnam for alleged anti-Communist activities.   International Christian Concern noted, “If extradited to Vietnam, he will likely face torture, violence, and imprisonment. … This will set a dangerous precedent for the thousands of other Christian refugees in Thailand who could also be extradited to their home country, where they fled persecution.” According to Open Doors, Vietnam is the 47th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Flooding and landslides in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand Monsoon rains brought catastrophic flooding and landslides to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand last week. The death toll has surpassed 1,300, and nearly a thousand people are missing. The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka is distributing emergency aid to pastors and Christian workers in the country. The group said the flooding has been “displacing families and severely impacting pastors, Christian workers, and churches.” Trump pauses immigration from Third World countries In the United States, President Donald Trump announced last Thursday his administration will “permanently pause” migration from Third World countries.  This came a day after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members with a  357 revolver in Washington, D.C. near the White House. U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, aged 20, died the next day. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolf remains in serious condition. However, doctors report that he was able to give a thumbs-up sign when prompted and he wiggled his toes on command as well. Brigadier General Leland Blanchard spoke at a press conference. BLANCHARD: “Their families' lives are all changed forever because one person decided to do this horrific and evil thing.” Officials charged the 29-year-old Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder yesterday. The Afghan man drove cross country, from his home in Washington State, to carry out the targeted attack. He had immigrated to the United States in 2021 under a Biden era program evacuating Afghan refugees during the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces. Listen to comments from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.  LEAVITT: “Sarah and Andrew represent the very best of America, two young patriots who were willing to put on the uniform and risk their lives in defense of their fellow Americans. Both of them truly embody the profound words spoken by Jesus Christ in the Gospel. Greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends.” (John 15:13) Mass killings are down this year Mass killings in the U.S. are down according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today. There have been 17 shooters who killed four or more people in a 24-hour period not including themselves. That's the lowest on record since 2006. Mass killings mostly occur at people's homes and often involve family members.  California officials dropped $70,000 in COVID fines against church Officials in California recently dropped nearly $70,000 in fines against a church and Christian school. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health targeted Calvary Chapel San Jose and its affiliated Calvary Christian Academy during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Joel Oster with Advocates for Faith & Freedom said, “This is a complete victory, not only for Calvary Christian Academy, but for every church and Christian school in California. The State tried to use [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration] as a weapon to intimidate a religious institution. They failed. And they were forced to walk away from their own claims.” Should pro-life ministry be compelled to reveal names of donors? The U.S. Supreme Court heard a case yesterday involving a pro-life ministry in New Jersey. The case began in 2023 when the state targeted First Choice Women's Resource Centers with a subpoena, demanding the names of its donors.  Reuters reports that the justices appeared favorable to the pro-life ministry. William Haun with The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty said, “The Court should make clear that state bureaucrats cannot exploit their power to intimidate ministries or chill the faith commitments that guide their work.” Isaiah 10:1-2 says, “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice, and to take what is right from the poor of My people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless.” The “Naughty and Nice List” of U.S. retailers And finally, AUDIO: “He's making a list and checking it twice. He's going to find out who's naughty or nice.” Liberty Counsel released its latest “Naughty and Nice List” last month. The list catalogs retailers that are censoring Christmas and ones that are publicly celebrating it. Companies that celebrate Christmas include Costco, Lowe's, and Walmart. Companies that silence and censor Christmas include TJ Maxx, Barnes & Noble, and CVS Pharmacy.   Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel said, “Christianity remains the largest faith tradition in the United States and is associated with worship, family traditions, nostalgia, and seasonal joy. … We are happy to report that some retailers still recognize that the Christmas season is about the birth of Jesus and is not just a winter holiday.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, December 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Synopsis:  In a call to action, Sara Nelson urges workers to move beyond defense and set the agenda for change, declaring "our world is burning" but asserting that collective power can be used to create a better future.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description [original release date July 2025]: Sara Nelson knows how to leverage worker power — and so do the 55,000 flight attendants she represents. A union member since 1996, she's been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014. You may remember her integral role in threatening a strike, which helped pressure the Trump administration to end the 2019 government shutdown. But under the second Trump term, the administration plans to gut many government agencies and has canceled one million contracts for federal workers so far. “We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next,” she tells Laura Flanders in this exclusive interview. “So we have to rush to each other's sides.” In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment. What is her message and her mission for 2025? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on floods and profits.“We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next. So we have to rush to each other's sides. But we can also turn this around and not just be on defense. . . We are in a crisis. Yeah. Our world is burning. We can actually set the agenda and make things better.”Guest:  Sara Nelson: International President of the Association of Flight Attendants- (AFA-CWA) (representing 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines)  Watch the episode released on YouTube July 18th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 20th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).
