The Narrative

This week on The Narrative, Aaron and Mike discuss the MLB's backpedaling after threats over Pride gear compliance, a journalist's tantrum over the Success Sequence (a proven framework for poverty avoidance) because "Oprah didn't take that path," and the left's desperate fight over common-sense voter ID requirements.

After the news, the hosts take time to celebr...

Is the recent corporate retreat from "Pride Month" just a shallow cultural wave that will crash back once the tides change? Without biblical grounding, it seems unlikely this slight move away from worshipping lust and debauchery will be sustained.

On a related note, in Ohio, David rece...

The lid has been blown off a massive Medicaid fraud scheme that is bleeding Ohio taxpayers dry. In this week's Narrative podcast, Attorney General Dave Yost shares how his investigation had already uncovered criminals who billed for intensive care while they were actually competing in figure-skating competitions abroad or traveling on your dime, before the Daily Wire's exposé was published. 

Yet, even as the indictments roll i...

This week, CNN political commentator Scott Jennings delivers a direct indictment of a radical anti-American movement that has hijacked traditional liberal politics.

Today, Aaron, Mike, and special guest Maria Baer celebrate a massive Supreme Court victory for the First Amendment and biblical truth.
