Emily Jashinsky opens the show discussing the historic announcement by President Trump that Israel and Hamas have signed off on the first phase of the U.S.-proposed Gaza peace deal, allowing for the release of all Israeli hostages and a halt in the war. Then Emily speaks with Rod Dreher, Author of “Rod Dreher's Diary” and books including "Living In Wonder,” to talk about rising tensions in the West amid multiculturalism, what history tells us about the future of Europe and America, the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey, the dangers of AI, and the “re-enchantment” movement as young people increasingly turn to faith as they seek meaning. Then Emily is joined by independent journalist, Evita Duffy-Alfonso, to discuss The Washington Post’s report on how TikTok keeps its users scrolling for hours, Gallup polling that shows trust in media is at a new low, California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter’s epic meltdown, PLUS why Evita is a fan of Japanese anime. Emily rounds out the show with the story the media SHOULD be covering extensively… the man who was arrested outside the annual Red Mass ceremony in D.C. with 200+ explosives. She also issues a challenge to her friends on the left.
