Today, we discuss Pope Francis' recent comments about the fundamental goodness of human beings. The pope made the remarks in a "60 Minutes" interview with Norah O'Donnell and immediately sparked controversy online. We explain why he is wrong about this and explain the doctrine of total depravity. Plus, Harrison Butker's speech caused a stir over on "The View" when Sara Haines criticized the Catholic athlete for attending the Traditional Latin Mass, called Catholicism an "extreme religion," and suggested some people abuse Christianity by cherry-picking Bible verses. We take another look at Butker's speech and explain some of the parts we disagree with.

Today, we discuss the recent death of Mica Miller, wife of the pastor at Solid Rock Church in North Carolina, John Paul Miller. Mica passed away in April from a gunshot wound to the head. The couple had filed for divorce in October 2023, and Mica allegedly suffered from mental health issues and breakdowns. But there's more to the story, including a history of abuse that Mica's family claims led to Mica's demise. John Paul has said Mica died by suicide, but the medical examiner has not released a cause of death. So, what really happened to Mica Miller?

Today, we’re talking about the sentencing of multiple pro-lifers who are now faced with years in prison for trying to block people from entering abortion clinics. We explain how hypocritical this is for the DOJ as well as why the pro-life movement needs to readjust its priorities.

Then, Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, joins to share the latest on election polling, RFK Jr.’s abortion flip-flopping, and what’s going on with the supposed upcoming Biden-Trump debate.
