   What 10 years of covering the transgender industry taught this journalist.

   What happens when a journalist spends a decade investigating one of the most controversial cultural and medical issues of our time? Brandon Showalter of The Christian Post joins me to discuss what he's learned after ten years covering transgender issues — particularly the medical transition of children and young people. We discuss the changing language surrounding gender medicine, mental health and vulnerable young people, parental rights, the role of the media and medical establishment, and why opposition to pediatric gender transition now includes some liberals, gay Americans and parents who might otherwise disagree politically. Brandon also explains why his Christian faith shapes the way he views the issue, why he believes churches and pastors have a responsibility to speak up, and what he means when he says society risks developing a “seared conscience.” His simplest argument may also be his most powerful: “You don't cut the body to heal the mind.” It's a candid conversation about medicine, culture, faith, journalism — and the consequences of being afraid to ask difficult questions. Brandon M. Showalter is a journalist and podcaster with The Christian Post who has reported extensively on topics of theological interest in the Church; bioethics issues such as euthanasia, assisted suicide, artificial reproductive technology, and surrogacy; and the developments of the "gender identity" movement and transgender ideology. In 2022, he launched and co-produced CP's documentary podcast "Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle." He earned a bachelor's degree in international studies and Spanish from Bridgewater College of Virginia in 2007, a Master of Arts in human rights from The Catholic University of America in 2022, and is a fellow of the John Jay Institute for Faith, Society, & Law. 1 Timothy 4:2 “Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” Brandon’s column: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/what-i-learned-after-10-years-of-covering-the-trans-madness.html Teen taken from parents by judge: https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/16/health/ohio-transgender-teen-hearing-judge-decision (https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/16/health/ohio-transgender-teen-hearing-judge-decision) Wolves in white coats report: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/wolves-white-coats-hhs-report-110052522.html He was first inspired to pursue a career in writing and journalism while mopping floors and scrubbing toilets as a church custodian in April 2015.

   He Fought in Lebanon. Here's Why He's Worried About Iran.

   Heidi Harris interviews entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and Lebanese civil war veteran Guy Nohra about President Trump's proposed ceasefire agreement ("MOU") with Iran and its implications for Israel, Lebanon, and the broader Middle East. Key Themes 1. Wait and See Nohra argues that ceasefires in the Middle East are often temporary pauses rather than permanent solutions. Drawing from his experience during the Lebanese Civil War, he cautions against assuming any agreement will hold until its details and results become clear. 2. Different Views of Victory A major point of discussion is that Western leaders often measure success by military losses and gains, while groups such as Hezbollah may view mere survival as victory. Nohra explains that even after suffering significant damage, Hezbollah historically claimed success because it remained standing. 3. Hezbollah and Lebanon Nohra provides background on Lebanon's religious and political factions and explains how Hezbollah became Iran's proxy force in the country. He argues that Hezbollah functions as both a political and military organization and remains the most powerful armed group inside Lebanon. 4. Concerns About the Ceasefire Both Heidi and Nohra question whether the proposed agreement adequately addresses Iran's nuclear ambitions, Hezbollah's military power, and long-term regional stability. They express concern that Iran may gain time to regroup while retaining key capabilities. 5. The Concept of "Hudna" Nohra discusses the Islamic concept of a hudna (truce), describing it as a temporary pause in conflict that may be used until conditions become more favorable. He suggests that historical examples make him skeptical of long-term peace agreements with Iranian-backed groups. 6. Syria and Regional Politics The conversation explores Syria's role, Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian civil war, and concerns about relying on former Islamist factions to help stabilize the region. Nohra argues that many Americans underestimate the complexities of Middle Eastern alliances and rivalries. 7. Domestic Politics and Trump's Strategy Nohra speculates that political considerations, including upcoming U.S. elections and Trump's promise to avoid prolonged wars, may influence the administration's approach. He suggests the ceasefire could be an opportunity for Iran to demonstrate whether it intends to change course or continue confrontation. Bottom Line The conversation centers on skepticism about whether the ceasefire will produce lasting peace. While both speakers hope for a positive outcome, they question whether Iran and its proxies share the same goals and definitions of success as Western leaders. Nohra repeatedly emphasizes that the real test will be what happens after the agreement is signed, not the signing itself. Guy Paul Nohra is a co-founder of Alta Partners, a leading life sciences venture capital firm that has funded more than 150 healthcare companies since 1996 through eight venture funds, representing over $2 billion in investments. Named to the Forbes Midas List in 2007, he has contributed to therapies addressing cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, orthopedics, and cancer.

   Trump doesn't understand Islam! Guest: Robert Spencer

   More than 100 days into the war with Iran, why does it still feel like nobody is telling the whole truth? In this episode, Heidi Harris talks with author and jihad expert Robert Spencer of JihadWatch.org about Donald Trump, Iran, Netanyahu, Islam, and the growing divide inside the MAGA movement over foreign policy. Spencer argues that the West fundamentally misunderstands Islam — and that misunderstanding is shaping dangerous decisions in the Middle East. The conversation covers regime change in Iran, whether Trump believes he can “make a deal” with radical Islamic leaders, the future of Israel’s relationship with the United States, and why many ordinary Iranians remain trapped under a brutal regime they desperately want removed. This is a candid, unfiltered discussion about war, ideology, geopolitics, and the long game being played in the Middle East. Follow Heidi everywhere @HeidiHarrisShow Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He has authored 32 books on Islam and jihad, and has led seminars for various U.S. government agencies. Spencer is a regular columnist and has appeared on numerous media outlets and at various speaking engagements. jihadwatch.org Don’t forget to check out my NEW crime podcast, Vegas Crime Files, wherever you get podcasts.
