On the spiritual battlefield, there is no neutrality. The banner of secularism and the reigning Christ compete over every square inch of earth, whether we realize it or not, and neither will be satisfied sharing rule with the other. This is the reality of the world around us... and God's calling the faithful to meet the challenge. Join host Hayden Ludwig and New Saint Andrews College fellow Dr. Joe Rigney as we lay out the battle p...

The woke revolution reached its zenith with the push to trans kids. Now the tide is turning, thanks to America's silent majority of parents, Christians, and conservatives working to save our schools from LGBT ideology. Join host Hayden Ludwig and Moms for Liberty (https://www.momsforliberty.org) CEO and founder Tina Descovich as they discuss winning the war against Big Trans.

Islam and Christianity are two religions with two very different—and incompatible—visions of society. But what does that mean for Muslims in America who support the Declaration of Independence and Constitution? Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a former U.S. Navy officer and president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (https://aifdemocracy.org), joins host Hayden Ludwig in a riveting discussion about how their different faiths collide ...

Today's culture has wrongly labeled strength as toxic and leadership as oppressive, leaving many men feeling lost or ashamed of their natural instincts. What are young men to do in a society infected by pornography and liberalism, where hard work, responsibility, and self-reliance are fast becoming relics of the past, replaced by a culture of entitlement and victimhood? Host Hayden Ludwig breaks it all down with this week's guest, ...

From "safe and legal, but rare" to "pop a pill and call me in the morning," we're watching Big Abortion evolve into something more sinister than ever... and countless women are paying the price. It took nearly 50 years for pro-life advocates to defeat Roe v. Wade, but we weren't prepared for the aftermath. Now, the rise of "telehealth" and the mail-in-pill have made the unthinkable—DIY abortions in your own home—not only possible, ...

Trust in the legacy media is at an all-time low. Americans no longer believe the lies and propaganda spewed by CNN, MSNBC, and other captured "news" outlets... and with good reason. Young Americans in particular are turning to alternative news sources to learn the truth the Deep State is busily concealing, and John Tillman of the American Culture Project believes they're never going back. Join host Hayden Ludwig in this in-depth di...

The biggest threat to America's future doesn't come from China, Iran, or Russia, but from within our own borders. Far-left paramilitary forces led by Antifa threaten to pull our nation apart and drive America into civil war unless they're stopped. This isn't a fluke; it's part of a century-old playbook born out of the Soviet Union's struggle for control of 1930s Germany. Join host Hayden Ludwig and Center for Security Policy (https...

For decades, the professional Left has done what it does best—take good intentions and morph them into a naked political power grab. No movement has been more subsumed by this sinister motivation than the environmental movement and its embrace of the theory of global warming.  Restoration News (https://restoration-news.com) Senior Editor Jeff Reynolds produced a shocking report that reveals all the lies and misinformation underlyin...

Secularism, leftist ideology, and Marxism are collapsing around us—and the turmoil has left tens of millions of Americans desperately searching for a path out of the chaos.

Mexico teeters on near-collapse, with entire regions ruled by paramilitary cartel thugs. That chaos is bleeding over the southern border into American states from California to Virginia, inviting millions of illegal alien invaders and countless tons of lethal narcotics into our communities. That's changing under President Donald Trump—but challenges still remain. Pinal County, Arizona, Sheriff Ross Teeple joins host Hayden Ludwig a...

Women have not been given true informed consent for the most common abortion method, the chemical abortion pill. The risk to women of experiencing serious or adverse effects, beyond the life of their child being taken, is about 22 times higher than the FDA claims. Planned Parenthood misleads women even further, calling the drug “safer than Tylenol” on their website. As a Senior Investigative Researcher for Restoration News, Saman...

The future belongs to America's children. No one knows this better than the leftists and social engineers who built our nation's public school system a century ago with the goal of capturing control of future generations of young people, and turning them against the principles that forged America. That project is at last coming to a close. Join host Hayden Ludwig and Restoration News Senior Investigative Researcher Victoria Manning...

They’ve come a long way, but more needs to be done. Listen now to learn more and subscribe to st...

The modern battlefield is no joke, and is much different than it was in past conflicts we were involved in. It is essential for our military to level up and adapt to the realities of technological advancements such as drones. Will Thibeau highlights the importance of this preparedness in ensuring our success should we become involved more heavily in conflicts in the future. A U.S. Army Ranger Veteran and Director of the Claremont I...

For far too long, Democrats have earned support despite putting forth policies that negatively impact voters. Now, Hispanic and Catholic voters are flocking to the Republican Party in significant numbers. The consequential shift has happened quickly and involves a variety of complex layers worth understanding to save America by encouraging votes towards conservative candidates. Steve Cortes is the Founder of the League of American ...

Imagine a campaign that never ends, even after election day comes and goes. It’s called the permanent campaign, and it’s the secret weapon the Left has, and the Right needs to have, to win. So why aren't more conservative strategists adopting it? The man with the answer is Ned Ryun, Founder and CEO of American Majority Action. Ned is the nation's leading expert on building infrastructure to prime Republican voters not days, but ye...

The Trump administration is at war with woke, and Americans couldn’t be happier. From companies dropping LGBT marketing to heightened pushback on men infiltrating women’s sports, it seems like we’re winning the fight. But there’s more work to do. Here to share the truth is Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project, one of the leading groups defending families and children against the Left’s predatory agenda. Listen...

The nation is watching as two crucial races for Attorney General and Governor are underway in Virginia that could decide the fate of our nation. If Democrats are successful, they could infringe on firearm rights, education freedom, drive up prices, and more. This is a fate Virginia can't afford, with crime and leftist policies having already hurt the state enough under previous Democrat leadership and the impacts of the Biden Admin...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
