On today’s program: Casey Harper, Managing Editor for Broadcast at The Washington Stand and Host of the “Outstanding” podcast, reports on the new guidance from the Department of Education for prayer and religious activities in schools, the faith message from the Seattle Seahawks’ head coach ahead of the Super Bowl, and the controversy over Netflix’s abundant transgender content aimed at children. Morgan Griffith, U.S. Representative for Virginia’s 9th district, comments on the congressional funding battle surrounding DHS and ICE reforms, ideological challenges on Capitol Hill to secure elections, and the proposed lopsided congressional map for Virginia. Phil Berger, North Carolina State Senate Leader, delves into allegations that the suspect in the fatal stabbing of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte had been inappropriately released from prison, addresses the lax attitude on crime by state Democrats, and the early release or transition of roughly 3,500 criminals under the 2021 COVID-era settlement. Holly Randall, Counsel at First Liberty Institute, reviews the U.S. Department of Education's new guidance for prayer and religious speech in public schools. Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at FRC, highlights FRC’s Biblical Worldview Workshops and tackles the shift in medical associations that are moving away from openly endorsing sex transition procedures on minors.
