This hour, we take a look at some of the stories making headlines before talking with Dr. Michael New about the valiant efforts of a pro-life group working to stop abortions in the nation’s Capital. We then talk with Dr. David Gortler about the new guidelines for COVD vaccinations and the changes taking place at the FDA.
Lt.Col Olivier North, USMC (retired), an American hero, will address those concerned about the cultural decline they see all around them, people who watch the nightly news and ask themselves, “What is happening to our country?” It seems we have become a nation of people who are offended by everything but sin. What is happening to our country is simple to explain but sad to observe: we are seeing what a culture of sin can do to a country. Within the problem is the solution. Biblical morality reestablished in America by an uprising of God’s people standing for righteousness will bring God’s forgiveness and our healing.
