| 0:00.0 | This is Molly Hemingway, encouraging you to listen to my favorite podcast, issues, etc. |
| 0:07.3 | Every day you get in-depth interviews with host Todd Wilkin asking expert guests, substantive, thought-provoking questions on all of the important news and issues of our day. |
| 0:18.7 | The expert guests are in culture, law, ethics, philosophy, theology, |
| 0:23.1 | and apologetics. Expert guests? Expansive topics. Always extolling Christ. Issues, etc. It has been in some ways like a seesaw what President Trump undid during his first term. |

| 1:48.1 | but young men are becoming more and more pro-life because they heard Charlie Kirk explain life. |
| 1:57.2 | And he was like, we need to be focusing on these young men. |
| 2:00.6 | And I thought, well, that's true because they're the ones that are going to get married and be fathers. |
