In this week's episode, Gary Bauer shares his thoughts on the failed assassination attempt on former President Trump. As Christians, we don't believe in luck.

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. Don't miss this historically essential and incredibly riveting special podcast.
