MAGA Mike Takes the Gavel with Matthew Peterson and Caroline Glick 

A huge crowd showed up at Make Heaven Crowded in El Paso to see Jesse Waters and Lucas Miles talk about the faith impact of Charlie’s martyrdom. It was a stirring moment of Christian revival — except for the usual suspects online, who decided to complain about the same thing they always complain about. Megan Basham talks about the Islamization of the Girls Scouts and the left’s effort to claim Dolly Parton as a symbol against her will. With a major witness now planning to recant his testimony, journalist John Ziegler talks about the disconcerting evidence that infamous child abuser Jerry Sandusky may have been innocent all along. Frank Turek discusses his new book.

How did marriage and fatherhood change Charlie’s outlook on politics and on life? During his 2024 appearance at Calvary South Church, Charlie explains how building a family of his own transformed his views and, in particular, intensified his commitment to fighting for the country’s future. He also discusses the rise of the “Christian nationalist” label and delivers a message to the young about tradition and the need to conserve the things we love most.

In a merciful break from Lindsay Clancy drama, the Thoughtcrime team comes together to discuss other topics, including:

-Is AI-generated Christian music a demonic force from the pit of Hell?
-What’s the real root of anti-data center mania?
-What’s the deal with President Trump’s president ranking list?

Why is deporting illegal immigrants moral, even in cases designed to elicit our sympathy? Charlie wasn’t afraid to answer that question during his 2023 stop at Texas Tech University. Charlie also answered questions on parenthood and even agriculture from the Lubbock crowd.
