  • Phill Kline, Associate Professor of Law at Liberty University School of Law and former Kansas Attorney General, offers legal insights into the newest indictment against Trump.
  • Meg Kilgannon, FRC’s Senior Fellow for Education Studies, talks about a Montgomery County, Maryland principals’ document showing concern about LGBTQ books and a ‘opt-out’ denial.
  • Dr. Dave Brat, Dean of Liberty University’s School of Business,  questions: what has led to the most recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating? What does the downgrade mean for the national debt, interest rates, and the U.S. economy? And what can be done to put the U.S. on a road to fiscal responsibility?
