  • Disappointed

    I was very disappointed in your softball interview of James Carville. This man along with the rest of his ilk have the blood of millions of unborn children on his hands yet you decided to let him dance around his reasoning for supporting abortion. I thought you were better than this. I was wrong.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prayerful Posse: What’s Driving the Easter Convert Surge?
Q: Bob, what do you think is actually driving this explosion in converts, not only in the US, but around the world?
The guests suggest multiple factors including a younger demographic seeking structure and tradition, a generational reaction to a perceived cultural loss of “the solid” in modern life, and the appeal of Catholicism's comprehensive package—doctrine, liturgy, and community—especially when there is a felt need for permanence.
Shannon Bream: Nothing Is Impossible with God - Faith Through Life’s Hardest Moments
Q: What is the best advice you ever got?
To not take no for an answer and to outlast people in pursuing opportunities.
Harrison Butker: NFL Star on Faith, Adversity & the Chiefs’ Tough Season
Q: Okay, what's the best advice you ever received?
The golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Don McLean: American Pie and Not Letting the Music Die
Q: What happens when this is over, Don?
I hope I don't ever have to hear American Pie again, but if I've been a bad boy, I might be on a loop and that's Purgatory.
Don McLean: American Pie and Not Letting the Music Die
Q: Why do you think American Pie has such lasting power?
Honestly, I have no idea. No one knows why certain songs hold their allure for so long.
