Dr. Josh Mann and reporter Michaela Estruth examine the latest developments in the Middle East, including a new ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. They discuss how the Trump administration’s tax cuts are delivering real benefits to families, small businesses, and service workers—no longer taxing tips—and highlight positive stories from Kansas City business owners celebrating these changes.The conversation shifts to striking new statistics on births and abortions in the U.S., with Planned Parenthood reporting over 434,000 procedures in the latest fiscal year. Michaela breaks down what these numbers reveal and explores how states like Iowa and New Mexico are building effective pro-life coalitions through unified messaging and prayer.Finally, associate editor Adam Wittenberg joins to unpack the science behind transgender ideology as part of The Lion’s “Out of the Dark Ages” investigative series. Experts explain why biological sex is determined by chromosomes and gametes, why medical groups shifted despite weak evidence, and the troubling findings from a major Finnish study showing increased suicide risk after procedures. The discussion covers the reversal now underway through politics, lawsuits, and public pushback, offering clear guidance for parents navigating these issues.
