    Speaker Johnson to Pope Leo: Do Better

    The exchange was brief, but it was revealing. When Speaker Mike Johnson was recently asked about Pope Leo’s rhetoric criticizing border enforcement and America’s immigration policies, he didn’t respond with talking points, partisan slogans, or political spin. He responded with Scripture. Specifically, he cited Romans 13 — a passage that has anchored Christian teaching on civil authority for nearly two thousand years — reminding listeners that government is instituted by God to restrain evil and promote order. In other words: borders matter. Law matters. Order matters. And caring about them is not a betrayal of Christian compassion. It is an expression of it. That response, reported by Fox News, was thoughtful, grounded, and biblically consistent. And it stands in sharp contrast to much of what passes today for “faith-based” commentary on immigration.  Which brings us, respectfully, to Pope Leo. As the spiritual leader of more than a billion Catholics worldwide, his words carry enormous moral weight. When he speaks about migrants, borders, and national responsibility, he is not simply offering a private opinion. He is shaping consciences. And in this case, he should know better. Christian compassion does not mean open borders. It never has. Scripture is clear on two parallel truths that must be held together, not pitted against each other. First: Human beings are made in God’s image. They deserve dignity. They deserve mercy. They deserve care. Second: God ordains civil authority to establish boundaries, enforce laws, and restrain chaos. Both are true. Always. The Bible does not present compassion and order as opposites. It presents them as partners. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%2013&version=KJV teaches that governing authorities are “God’s servants” tasked with maintaining justice. Proverbs warns that a society without boundaries invites destruction. Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem’s walls precisely so that vulnerable people would be protected. Even in the New Testament, cities had gates. Nations had borders. We need fewer sermons built on feelings and more built on truth. We need compassion anchored in wisdom. And we need church leaders who remember that moral clarity is not cruelty. It is love. So to Pope Leo, with respect: do better. Not louder. Not softer. Better. Better grounded. Better informed. Better aligned with the Word you are called to defend. And to Speaker Johnson: thank you for reminding the country that faith and facts still belong in the same sentence. In times like these, that takes courage. And conviction. Both are in short supply. Both are desperately needed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Grammys: Supporting Violent Illegal Aliens!

    You know? I wouldn’t have pegged Justin and Hailey Bieber as advocates for violent criminals. I wouldn’t have expected Bad Bunny to be comfortable standing shoulder-to-shoulder with policies that protect rapists and child predators. I certainly wouldn’t have guessed Billie Eilish would publicly align herself with movements that undermine law enforcement tasked with removing some of the most dangerous people from our country. Yet here we are. By wearing those insipid little pins that read “ICE OUT” during the Grammy Awards telecast, the celebrity class didn’t just make a political statement. They adopted—verbatim—the talking points of Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz, Justin Frey, and the broader radical Left that wants Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crippled or abolished entirely. And if you want ICE out, it says something very specific about your value system. First, it means you are willing—knowingly or not—to defend the people ICE is lawfully removing from the United States: heinous criminal aliens. These are not gardeners, nannies, or people overstaying visas while working two jobs. ICE’s primary enforcement targets today are individuals with criminal convictions or pending charges—including murder, rape, sexual assault, child exploitation, human trafficking, drug distribution, and violent gang activity. And let’s be clear: silence is also a statement. Every artist who stood there wearing that pin—or said nothing while others did—endorsed the message. ICE isn’t perfect. No institution run by fallen humans is. But abolishing ICE wouldn’t create mercy. It would create open season on the vulnerable. The men and women of ICE deserve something better than smug condemnation from celebrities who will never visit a crime scene, interview a trafficking victim, or knock on a family’s door after a preventable death. Here’s the reality the Grammys don’t want to face: When ICE does its job, communities are safer. When ICE is obstructed, criminals thrive. And when celebrities glamorize ignorance, real people pay the price. You can clap for that if you want. The rest of us will stand with the people doing the hard work—quietly, lawfully, and with far more compassion than those pretending to have it.

    Radio Night Live: Fun Friday!

    Guests: Kevin Carter, Executive Director of Teatown & Tom Harris, President of Times Square Alliance In this episode of Radio Night Live, Kevin McCullough and Cristyne Nicholas chat with Tom Harris from the Times Square Alliance about the iconic destination's enduring appeal.  They discuss how Times Square has become a place where people come to see and be seen, and how it's a reflection of the city's connection to the world. The conversation also touches on the importance of community and shared experiences, like the annual vow renewal ceremony in Times Square. Kevin and Cristyne also share their own personal stories about Times Square & experiencing the city's unique energy. Kevin Carter brings a broad range of experience, based on a sixteen-year career in leading science and children’s museums. These have included the California Science Center, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, and, most recently, Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk, CT, where he served as Chief Operating Officer. In each, Kevin developed innovative ways to deliver complex technical subjects in engaging ways, delighting visitors and taking the discovery experience beyond the walls of the museum. Kevin’s initial entry to the museum world came from his work in IMAX film production and exhibition. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California’s School of Cinema/Television and is keenly aware of the importance of technology and collaborative efforts in making the Teatown experience among the very best. ABOUT TEATOWN:  Originally founded in 1963 and previously funded by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as an outreach station in Ossining, New York, Teatown Lake Reservation is a nonprofit nature preserve, and environmental education center located in the Lower Hudson Valley. Today, with 15 miles of hiking trails and more than 1,000 acres of protected land, a two-acre island refuge for more than 230 species of native wildflowers, wildlife exhibits, science and stewardship projects, nature classes and camps, and more, Teatown is the largest nonprofit community-supported nature preserve in Westchester County, with a mission to inspire the community to lifelong environmental stewardship. Teatown’s name originally dates back to 1776, when tea was scarce due to British taxation and a group of women named Daughters of Eve demanded that a local merchant John Arthur sell tea at a fair price. Hence, the area became known as “Teatown.”   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
