In this episode I get into the line Reagan drew between using force to free people and using force to conquer them, why Clarence Thomas says faith is where real courage actually comes from, and what that asks of the rest of us.

Most of us will never storm a beach. We can still live like that sacrifice meant something.

In this episode, I react to Thomas’s speech on the Declaration of Independence, God-given rights, the purpose of government, progressivism, courage, and the founding principles America must recover as we approach our 250th year.

This is not just a history lesson. It is a challenge to every American, and especially to leaders who claim to defend liberty while compromising the principles that made this country worth preserving.

In today's episode, I talk with Kyle Campbell — host of Politically Basic, an LA resident, and an advisor on the Steve Hilton for Governor campaign — about what the headlines aren't telling you the day before the primary.

We get into whether Pratt's viral campaign can really beat Bass, the quiet "donate to Bass, vote Pratt" theory, Steve Hilton's "Califordable" plan for the governor's race, and Newsom's so-called "break the glass" plan.

If your ballot is still on the counter, this one matters before you vote.

In this episode, I react to the Rededicate 250 event and break down what the critics are getting wrong. I cover the historical connection between Christianity and America's founding, why the word "rededication" is the key here, where I think some of the Trump and White House faith criticism has merit, and what the data is actually telling us about faith in America right now.

Yesterday, Republican voters decided his challenger: Ken Paxton.

The Democrats have been saying they have a great chance if Paxton were to become the candidate, which he did. So does Talarico have a chance?

Today we let him speak for himself and you can see if you agree with me when I say Democrats have lost their minds for propping him up.

Talarico is the most radical, out of touch, candidate you could pick for a Texas race.

Every point he made pushed back against what this generation hears from the secularists on a daily basis. He delivered a message of hope filled with important reminders and reflections for us all.

I wish this speech could play at every graduation in the country and I think you'll agree.

In today's episode, I cover the economic mess already unfolding under Mamdani's leadership and how government-controlled food distribution led to bread lines, 82% poverty, and somewhere between 7 and 9 million people fleeing Venezuela.

If we’re serious about protecting life and rebuilding a pro-family culture, we have to be honest about the parts of this conversation that are more complicated than they seem.

C.S. Lewis said there is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan. The way a society builds, dresses, and makes art is never neutral. What we've lost goes deeper than aesthetic taste. Beauty comes from God. When a culture stops caring about one, it usually stops caring about the other.

I was raised to never wear jeans to church. My mom made sure I dressed in a way that honored the room, the occasion, and the people in it. Modesty wasn't a rule — it was self-respect. Our grandparents understood that and we've mostly walked away from it. This episode is about why that matters.

He could sit across from someone who disagreed with him - completely, FUNDAMENTALLY, disagreed with him and stay in it. And somehow, in doing that, he held together a coalition of people who FRANKLY don't always get along.

What happened since his assassination has been deeply discouraging. There was unity for a moment. Talk of revival. A renewed sense of mission. And then, slowly, the focus shifted. Back to infighting, back to arguments on X, back to the distractions that pull us away from the things that actually matter.

So today, I want to go back to Charlie. His own words. The clips I keep returning to, on America's Christian founding, on abortion, on the Sabbath, on marriage and family, and on why we should never stop having hope no matter how dark the world looks.

The question hanging over the conservative movement right now isn't just who takes Charlie’s place.

It's whether what he helped build survives without him.

In today's episode, Grace breaks down exactly what happened, who coordinated the school walkouts, what the May Day protests were actually demanding, and why Chicago is the standout example of a school system that's been failing kids for years while keeping them busy with political activism.

Underneath everything is a much deeper question about where we find our worth. Self-love, body positivity, and self-affirmation are never going to fill us. Only Jesus can. Our bodies are temples we're charged to steward, and pursuing health is a good thing, a biblical thing, no matter where you are on that journey. The most loving thing we can do, for ourselves and for the people we love, is to affirm truth, even when it's uncomfortable.

The stated goal of this legislation is to prevent impaired or drunk driving and save lives. This specific provision is called the HALT Drunk Driving Act, and was added by a bipartisan group of lawmakers. Seems like noble intentions — but there are MANY Americans who see this as crossing a BIG LINE that tramples over our 4th and 5th Amendments while causing serious privacy concerns.

The ends do not justify the means. There have to be other ways to limit drunk driving and save lives. You can't cross lines like this and venture on such slippery slopes to do it.

Think about it. If they had had this during COVID, how much do you want to bet they would have turned our cars off or monitored us if we were out and about? Creating the kill switch ability is one step away from the government using reasons other than AI-detected impairment to shut off your vehicle. It swings that door wide open. And that's not even considering concerns about malfunctions, false positives generated by the AI system, or hacking.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually buried in Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, why Representatives Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, and Scott Perry have tried again and again to stop this (and why 57 Republicans crossed the aisle to keep it funded), how Ford, GM, OnStar, and Tesla have already shown us where this road leads, and why we should all be paying attention before 2027 gets here.

We discuss why many Christians have avoided hard conversations about in vitro fertilization, embryo destruction, the fertility industry, and surrogacy. Then explain why being pro-life means asking difficult questions about what happens to embryos created through IVF, why children deserve both a mother and a father, and why adult desires should never come before the needs of a child.

If you are a Christian, conservative, pro-life voter, parent, young woman, or anyone trying to understand the debate over IVF, surrogacy, abortion, feminism, and restoring the American family, this conversation is for you.

Jubilee's Surrounded format puts one person across from a room full of people who disagree with them. In this episode, Allie, a conservative Christian, author, and host of the 'Relatable' podcast, was that one person.

I'm reacting to the clips that stood out to me: the toxic empathy debate, what the Bible says about how we're actually called to love, and the abortion exchange, which went about as you'd expect.

These conversations are worth having and worth taking seriously.

Right now, 18 states have quietly agreed to hand their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner, no matter who their own state chose. They're already 82% of the way to making it happen, and most Americans have no idea.

That phrase didn't sneak into the vocabulary by accident. It's deliberate. And it's showing up alongside real policy pushes to undo the structures the founders put in place specifically to protect against mob rule.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the actual difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic, what the historical record shows about majority rule, and why understanding the distinction matters a lot right now, particularly heading into tomorrow's episode on the Electoral College.

She won the Virginia governor's race by 15 points running as a moderate who explicitly promised no redistricting. Three months later, she signed HB29, one of the most gerrymandered maps in the country, and is now polling as the most unpopular Virginia governor in 30 years.

In this episode, I walk through Spanberger's first 93 days: the Virginia redistricting reversal she swore wouldn't happen, her refusal to honor an ICE detainer for a man with over 30 arrests, 50+ new taxes proposed in her first weeks in office, and the bill she just signed handing Virginia's electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not who Virginians actually voted for.

In this episode, I cover where the SAVE America Act actually stands right now, what Senator Mike Lee is saying about the Senate GOP's moment of accountability, and why the left's "69 million women will be disenfranchised..." argument is just not true. I break down why 83% of Americans support voter ID — Republicans, Democrats, every demographic — and why Congress still hasn't passed it.

Common sense shouldn't be this hard. The House did its job. The courts confirmed only Congress can act. The Senate needs to move.

From attacks on marriage and parents to the increase of abortion and divorce, we have watched the once celebrated nuclear family fade into rarity.

Family is central to the stability of both individuals and society as a whole. Creating strong families is beneficial to everyone, and is what we hope everyone gets to experience in their own way.

Marxism's founders advocated for "The abolition of the family!" when they established and promoted their ideology. Sadly, this value was embraced by the communist and socialist leaders that followed. It has been embraced by the Marxist left in our country today.

In today's episode, I walk through 4 ways this is playing out in America right now and where we can see patterns in history.

We break down the state's attempts to jeopardize parent's custody, the Marxist roots of American public education system, Bella Dodd — a Communist Party member who testified to Congress that communists were specifically sent to infiltrate schools and seminaries, and much more.

Socialism sounds compassionate on the surface. Share everything, help everyone, equality for all. But when you actually trace Marxism through to its end, the fruit is rotten every single time. Today I'm walking through 7 reasons why Christianity and Marxism are completely incompatible, in principle and in practice.

We'll look at what the Bible actually says about generosity (and why it debunks the case for socialism), what Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Kim Il-sung said about Christianity in their own words, and the history of how communist regimes persecuted and killed Christians across the world.

On this episode of Restoring America, Grace Reilly sits down with Grace Stuart, a domestic violence advocate and host of the Why She Stayed podcast, for one of the most eye-opening conversations this show has had.

Special Guest: Grace Stuart.

In this episode, Grace goes through the CIA report using the America First Legal thread that helped expose it. She traces it back to Marxist ideology and how The Communist Manifesto and The Origin of the Family both laid out a plan to break up the nuclear family and hand child-rearing off to the state.

In this episode of Restoring America with Grace Reilly, we're taking a step back into the craze that was 2020 — the mandates, the pressure, the censorship, the lies — and talking about why my generation will NEVER trust the government or the healthcare system. And honestly? We shouldn't.

Today, Grace Reilly features a clip from Hayden Ludwig's interview of her on Restoration Spotlight Podcast, Restoration of America's other show that tackles so many of the issues we all care about in depth.

Restoration Spotlight summarizes: "Millions of 20-somethings are discovering the God who forgives in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. What does that mean for America's future? After generations of collapse, the American church is seeing an unexpected boom as young men and women flock to the pews seeking answers secular materialism as failed to provide. Join Restoration Spotlight host Hayden Ludwig and Grace Reilly, a rising Gen Z star, as we dig into the consequences for America in the 21st century."

Patti Garibay is Founder and Executive Director Emeritus of American Heritage Girls, a group that believes: "...in a world that bends, a woman of integrity stands firm. She doesn’t follow the crowd—she follows the One who calls her for a higher purpose. And that changes everything. That same boldness in faith drives our ministry to build up the next generation of girls who love God and lead with courage."

Mark Handcock is the CEO of Trail Life USA. They describe themselves as: "...an environment where boys thrive! Adults are equipped to lead a program in a structured outdoor environment where boys are engaged in real-world challenge and experience camping, hiking, and fishing; they develop skills in riflery, archery, and canoeing; and learn character and leadership in a practical hands-on manner that is naturally engaging."

Be sure to share these groups with people in your life who have kids!

With the recent capture of Nicolas Maduro, it is the perfect time to dive deeper into Venezuela to better understand all of the current events.

In this episode of Restoring America with Grace Reilly, we will explore how socialism ruined the country and caused starvation, economic collapse, and a mass exodus.

Recent studies by both the Restoration of America Foundation and the Ethics and Public Policy Center show that the abortion pill is 22 times MORE dangerous for women than the FDA admits and lists on the label.

Founder and CEO of Restoration of America, Doug Truax, joined the show to discuss. He has spent his life doing incredible work to save our country, starting with his service in the military at West Point, 6 years of active duty in the United States Army until leaving honorably as a Captain to now, where he is the Founder and Volunteer CEO of Restoration of America and Restoration of America Foundation.
