ABOUT THIS EPISODE
September 24th, 2026 - Happy feast of Our Lady of Ransom!
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has made the surprising admission that, by ignoring fraud and abuse in government programs, the political left has allowed the right to dictate the narrative and has lost the people's trust. The Supreme Court decided not to stop a California court ruling recognizing a couple as the legal parents of an infant carried by surrogate mother McKenna West, who refused the parents’ request to abort the child after doctors diagnosed him with a serious yet treatable heart defect. Six major hospital systems have now agreed to end gender “transition” procedures for children under deals with the Trump administration. Attorney General Todd Blanche vowed that the hospitals “that target children in these practices and then fraudulently obtain payment for the procedures will be held to account.” Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington for a summit with President Donald Trump, four months after the two leaders reached a sweeping agreement that included Chinese commitments on rare earths, agricultural purchases, trade and investment. President Donald Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico suffered a setback yesterday after a federal judge ordered the administration to restore White House access to the outlets. The order will be in effect for 14 days.
