Why Are So Many Black People Defending Karmelo Anthony?

Get ready for a SPICYYYY kickoff to your weekend - my friend Xaviaer DuRousseau is in town, and he’s got a lot on his mind. As a resident of Southern California, Xaviaer gives us an update into all things Spencer Pratt, Karen Bass, and Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race, and reveals just how corrupt Gavin Newsom’s California has become in 2026 👀 Then, we discuss the Karmelo Anthony trial and tragic murder of teenager Austin Metcalf and the difficult questions America is facing this week surrounding justice, race, and accountability. As a former BLM activist turned MAGA conservative, Xaviaer shares his personal perspective on why these conversations matter to pursue truth without falling into the trap of tribalism.  Even though some of these topics are heavy, I left this conversation feeling hopeful. Xaviaer always reminds me to pursue courage, conviction, and to stand up for your beliefs while still fighting for a better future. Do you think California is beyond redemption? Was the Karmelo Anthony sentencing a sign of justice, or injustice? Drop your thoughts in the comments 👇👇 Ep. 168 - - - Today's Sponsors: Olive - Listeners get an exclusive 7-day free trial.

Is Birth Control OVER For Gen Z?

Over the past few years, mainstream media coverage has EXPLODED with shocking statistics re: the number of Gen Z women throwing their birth control pills away–and I’m just one of them. Branded by the New York Times as an “anti birth control advocate,” I have been incredibly vulnerable in sharing my story as to “why I quit birth control,” but I’m not the only one. Across party lines and every social background in America, young women everywhere are ditching the pill & other forms of hormonal birth control as we dive deeper into the conversation about Big Pharma’s real impact on our lives. Last weekend, I sat down with four current college students at Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit to hear from them about their birth control journey–prescribed as young as 12 years old for reasons you probably wouldn’t have guessed, now joining the exodus from the pill alongside countless other women in our generation who have had enough. Together, we discuss acne and painful periods, PCOS and hormone-related struggles, and what led all of us to stop taking birth control entirely. Have you been part of the movement to quit taking hormonal birth control? What’s your “why I quit” story? Let us know in the comments 👇👇 HUGE thank you to these courageous students who joined me to share their stories! Please pray for their continued safety on campus as they seek to change hearts and minds for the better every day.

The Moment Everything Changed for Riley Gaines

Today felt like a breath of fresh air. Instead of another conversation about politics or outrage, I sat down with my dear friend Riley Gaines to talk about something much more personal: motherhood. We talked about birth, faith, femininity, marriage, family, and the beautiful chaos of raising daughters. Riley shared what it was like bringing Margo into the world, how motherhood has softened and strengthened her, and why family feels more important than ever in this cultural moment. Motherhood has softened us, strengthened us, humbled us, and reminded us of what truly matters. I hope it encourages anyone navigating motherhood, dreaming of a family, or simply looking for hope in a noisy world. Thank you for spending this time with us. 🤍 Ep. 165 - - - Today's Sponsors: Hallow - Get 3 months of Hallow for free at https://hallow.com/isabel Helix Sleep - Visit https://helixsleep.com/isabel for this exclusive offer.

Watch This Viral YouTuber’s STUNNING Admission

Viral YouTuber Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets) has sparked a massive online debate after he announced today that he and his wife "terminated their pregnancy"--in other words, ended the life of their baby--following a Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) diagnosis they were "devastated" over. Jesse’s now-infamous tweet seems to miss the mark on the inherent value of a human life entirely–reducing his baby’s existence down to disease statistics and the likelihood of inconvenience… all while fighting with every resource necessary to keep his DOG facing Stage IV cancer alive as long as possible. As a mom, this conversation hit me deeply. I'm not making this video to attack Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets). This story is about something much bigger than one person, one family, or one decision. It reminded me that every person is more than a diagnosis, more than a prognosis, and more than the challenges they may face. Some of the most beautiful people I've met have taught me that joy, purpose, and love often show up in places the world least expects. I hope this conversation encourages you to fight for the dignity of all people, and I hope what Mia Armstrong and Shane Gillis share about the reality of Down Syndrome resonates with you as much as it did with me.  💛 Every life has worth. Every life has purpose.
