  • Sailing to Saint-Malo, France! This historic port's corsairs shaped global trade & the map of North America. Discover how maritime power influenced the early US!
  • Xi, China’s current leader, is so paranoid he has ordered the oppression of a Chinese religious group called Falun Gong, whose peaceful practices include prayer and meditation. The USA needs to stand up and tell China the prison camps, torture, and forced organ harvesting must end, and now.
  • How do we honor our past while building the future? The Vallée des Saints in Brittany, France, offers inspiration! This project of massive new statues celebrates heritage in a dynamic way, reminding us to actively shape our American story. 
  • Electric vehicle automakers are accelerating their release of upgraded models – which is bad news if it means your EV is going to lose its value even quicker.
  • Dr. Katharine Neill Harris is an expert in drug policy and treatment. She dropped by the Saving America studio to chat about the addiction crisis in America, how we can do better dealing with substance abuse issues, and the drug policy bills being discussed in Texas’ legislature.
  • Legend says Huelgoat’s underground River Argent aided the WWII French Resistance! A powerful reminder that the fight for freedom finds hidden paths & demands courage. Let's defend liberty!
  • The International Criminal Court (ICC) discredited itself entirely when it issued an arrest warrant for Israel’s Prime Minister. Netanyahu was protecting his country and his religion from repeated terrorist attacks. They must be allowed to defend themselves.
  • Joan of Arc’s fight for French sovereignty echoes the American spirit of independence & conviction. A powerful reminder to stand for freedom and defend our nation! 
  • In a bit of a surprise, the conservative-leaning Supreme Court passed on hearing an appeal from the parents who made headlines protesting school board meetings in Saline, MI and Loudon County, VA.
  • Under Texas law, humans have access to telemedicine, but not pets. A disabled veterinarian challenged the law.
  • The U.S. cannot afford for Russia to have military dominance in space. We must be in a position to annihilate potential threats, particularly in the current cold-war environment.
  • The narrative of DEI (diversity, equity, & inclusion) initiatives is that they safeguard minorities and protected groups from racist policies. But many within these groups experience the opposite under DEI. Stephanie Samsel is speaking up on this on Saving America!
  • The last stop on my all-too-brief tour of southwest France was Josselin - a little town named for its castle, which tells its fascinating history through portraits, dolls, and toys.
  • Liberals are enraged because the Supreme Court reversed the ban on bump stocks, just days after celebrating when it reversed the ban on the abortion pill. Fair is fair folks – legislating from the bench is absolutely unacceptable.
  • A 134-year-old Houston-based furniture store, Conn’s, is definitely filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. But reports are varying about whether some or all of their stores will be closed.
  • The same judge who flouted attorney-client privilege when he ordered Trump’s lawyers to hand over emails to the January 6th commission has now decided 7-year-olds are too young to have 1st amendment rights. How does David Carter still have his bar card?
