Restoring America with Grace Reilly

Public school indoctrination is real. If you had any doubt that teachers pushed socialism and leftism, look no further than this years May Day protests. The protests were highly coordinated, funded and backed by 600 groups with $2B in revenue. 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.

The political and cultural left has spent decades branding themselves as the "party of science" while labeling conservatives as "anti-science." On a recent episode of Jubilee's "Surrounded," health expert Jillian Michaels sat down with 20 body positivity activists to debate multiple claims, one being: "obesity is not healthy, and pretending it is puts lives at risk." I never imagined this would be a controversial claim, given the science and objectivity around the subject as it relates to health. It is not personal or in any way related to a persons worth. It should be fine to have a science based health conversation and all seek health together, no matter what our personal health situation is. However, this turned into a controversial debate, one that points to broader themes and questions in our culture and political environment. 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.

Starting in 2027, all new vehicles will be installed with AI surveillance technology that has the ability to limit or STOP vehicle operation without the driver's action or consent — either while driving or by stopping the car from starting in the first place. The system and vehicle would be able to override the driver. 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.

In today's episode of Restoring America,I sit down with Hannah Faulkner, host of The Hannah Faulkner Show, for a bold conversation about the ethical problems with IVF and surrogacy, the Christian pro-life position, children’s rights, biblical marriage, and what it will actually take to restore America. 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.Special Guest: Hannah Faulkner.

Allie Beth Stuckey sat down to debate with 20 liberal Christians, and the arguments she had to push back on are worth paying attention to. 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.

They've tried to abolish the Electoral College over 700 times. They failed every single time. So they stopped asking. 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.

The Founding Fathers didn't just skip building a democracy. They read history, saw what happened when pure majority rule took over, and built something different on purpose. So why does every politician and news anchor keep calling it "our democracy"? 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.

Virginia redistricting is happening right now, and most people have no idea what Governor Abigail Spanberger just signed into law. 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.

I'm getting married in a few months. I'm not afraid of proving I'm a citizen. I'm afraid of elections no one trusts. 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.

Our culture has steadily walked away from God and towards the cold embrace of secular leftism. The family has suffered tremendously as a result. 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.

Some Christians think Jesus would be a socialist. Here are 7 reasons why that couldn't be further from the truth. 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.

Grace Stuart has spent years helping women recognize and escape abuse. But when she started speaking out as a conservative, she was met with the exact tactics she teaches survivors to identify from the people she was simply trying to help. She argues that there many key parallels between the political left the tactics of abusers. 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.

A newly un-redacted CIA intelligence assessment put motherhood and homemaking on a list of "white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism" indicators. If you're a wife, a mom, or just someone who thinks raising your kids is the most important work you'll ever do, this one's for you. 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, I'll be answering the top questions submitted by you!

They told us it was "safe and effective." They told us we had to get it or we could lose our jobs, our freedom to travel, and so much more. They shamed us, censored us, and exiled us for questioning it. 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.

The once loved Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have gone completely woke. Groups that used to encourage character development are now pushing unnecessary secular leftist ideologies on kids. The Boy Scouts started letting girls in for inclusivity in 2019 and even changed their name to "Scouting America." Fortunately there is hope! Today, Grace Reilly shares conversations with the leaders of two alternative groups, one for boys and one for girls. 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!

Another partial government shutdown is looming as Congress negotiates DHS funding. This Friday marks the end of the temporary funding period and is the deadline for negotiations amongst Republicans and Democrats. They have serious disagreements over ICE. Do you think they will come to an agreement? Or will we see this stalemate continue?

The SAVE Act is back in the news and the Democrats have brought the same ridiculous arguments they previously had. Today, we talk common sense and debunk the insanity the Left is pushing about Voter ID.

The term "Christian Nationalism" is regularly thrown around in politics today, usually with a negative connotation. Any perspective on policy that leans on Christian principles is being labeled as such. What does the term mean? Is it a good or a bad thing? Should we base policy on Biblical principles? Were the Founding Fathers Christian? Was our country founded on Christian values? Is there a separation between church and state? Grant May joins Restoring America with Grace Reilly to provide valuable analysis and insight.Special Guest: Grant May.

Victoria Manning, a Senior Investigative Reporter at Restoration News, recently wrote an article debunking 6 common myths about ICE. She wrote: "Without ICE, criminal illegal aliens would continue roaming the streets and terrorizing Americans. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are being unfairly demonized and targeted as politicians and activists stoke public outrage. False and misleading claims about immigration enforcement are repeated as fact, placing dedicated law-enforcement officers in harm’s way. We have to set the record straight—both for the safety of those who serve and the law-abiding citizens they protect." Enjoy this episode of Restoring America with Grace Reilly where they break down these myths and correct th record. Special Guest: Victoria Manning.

Despite the narrative we hear from Left and the protests we keep seeing, data confirms that Trump's first year spent arresting 'worst of the worst.' Out of the nearly 600,000 who have been arrested by the Trump administration, ICE has reported that 70 percent had "criminal convictions or pending criminal charges" in the United States. Not including those wanted for violent crimes in other countries. Why are there so many of these protests and altercations when the data shows that it IS in fact the worst of the worst being targeted?

Millions of Christians do not vote for a variety of reasons. In this episode, Grace Reilly dives in to WHY this is and what we can do to encourage Christians to be more involved.

Daniel Di Martino left socialism in Maduro's Venezuela for a better life in the United States. He joined Grace Reilly to discuss his story, the capture of Nicolas Maduro, and what the future may hold.Special Guest: Daniel Di Martino.

How did Venezuela go from a promising prosperous country to a nightmare dictatorship? The answer is simple: SOCIALISM. Venezuela had all the potential. It is the perfect example of why socialism destroys everything it touches, and why we should fully reject it on our soil as Americans. 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.

The most common abortion method is the at-home chemical abortion pill. At-home meaning that it can be ordered online without a doctor and thus without knowing details about the pregnancy like how far along the baby is, risks, etc. and sent directly to a woman’s door step. Unsurprisingly this is not safe and is putting women at serious risk-- but women are not being told that. They are being lied to. 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.

We often hear "Marxism is a good idea in theory, it just doesn't work in practice." WRONG! Today on Restoring America with Grace Reilly, she goes in depth on the root of Marxism's problems. The theory is the problem. Marx's fundamental denial of human nature is the problem. Watch the full episode to find out more!

Faith and family are the cornerstone of society. The bedrock of America. The culture that we live in seeks to deteriorate both of those things. And we see it, we see the decline of the nuclear family and its impacts in a myriad of ways. From the high divorce rates and low marriage rates to the decline of religion and purpose among young people, the family needs restoration. We all need to fight for our own families and we need to recognize that it all starts at home. The problems we see in politics. The decline in religion among young people. The brokenness that impacts families for generations. We need strong marriages to build strong families to raise strong individuals. So much of this starts at the dinner table.

Young people feel let down. They feel they've been lied to about the American Dream. They are struggling as they leave college and settle into adult life. They’re looking for politicians who they think make the best case for making their lives better and more affordable. That is why Donald Trump was elected and supported by so many young people in twenty twenty four. Ironically, that is a big reason they fell for Mamdani’s socialist “utopia” with “free” everything and also why they fall for the promises of other leftists like him. The issue of things being unaffordable is real. We all feel it. The solution is not charismatic politicians who promise everything but deliver nothing. The fix, what we really need, now more than ever, is free market, conservative policies. That is the only hope of fixing the issues Gen Z and Americans as a whole care the most about. In the next few minutes I’m going to tell you why we need to embrace conservative policies and why we need to reject leftist socialist policies. The conservative position will create a better life for you and the country as a whole.

What does the election of Socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City mean? It tells us a lot about young people, who voted overwhelmingly for Mamdani. This election showed that Gen Z and millennials are falling for the socialist trap. Paul Kengor is Editor of The American Spectator, a Professor at Grove City College, and an expert on Marxism. He joins Grace Reilly to weigh in on the basics of socialism, what Mamdani's election means, and why it impacts America's future far beyond the city limits of New York. Special Guest: Paul Kengor.

The Left keeps leaning further to the left in both policy and tactics. What many do not realize, is how directly we can see parallels in history. None of the heightened rhetoric we are seeing today is new or random. Grace Reilly exposes how the same Marxist playbook from 80 years ago is being used today, in full force. Marxism is not just history, it is what we are facing right now. Recognizing these patterns is essential to understanding where we are today and how we can save our country from the fate that has destroyed many others.

There is a LOT the Democrats want us to forget but, we won't. The deportation controversy is INSANE right now. Looking at the media and Left today, you’d think the Democrats were ALWAYS against deportations. On this episode of Restoring America with Grace Reilly, we expose the truth.

We are facing a national identity crisis. We don't have the same vision for our country’s future and the war on truth is raging. Why? The deepest divide lies in the fact that we cant agree on fundamental principles and values that used to be recognized and agreed upon. The secular culture that drives society promotes the idea that Truth and reality are all of the sudden fluid. That we are somehow so advanced now that we know better than the GENERATIONS that have gone before us throughout history. Welcome to the first episode of Restoring America with Grace Reilly where we will dive deeper and light the path for the future-- there IS hope!
