We often read food labels before purchasing food products. We do this because we care about the health and safety of our families. What about the drugs in our medicine cabinets?

Joining me today to discuss this critical issue is Rosemary Gibson, a senior advisor with the Hastings Center, a bio-ethics research institute. Gibson and Janardan P.

What has happened to the Democratic Party in America? Twenty-Twenty has started with Democrats lamenting the death of an Iranian terrorist, Major General Qasem Soleimani, who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and had active plans to kill even more. Rather than celebrating with commonsense Americans who understand and appreciate President Trump’s desire to keep us safe, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is seeking to tie the President’s hands. Joining us today is someone who knows a great deal about America and has watched history unfold from a front row seat. My guest is Dave Black, the founder of Aegis Science Corporation (now retired), husband of former House Budget Chair Diane Black, and the founder of 2nd Vote. 2nd Vote is a conservative watchdog organization for corporate America.

Change, transformation, and new life are always possible. Just because you are working in a particular field or have always gone about doing things the same way, doesn’t mean you have to continue the same path. In today’s show, I will be talking with a former Californian who walked away from enormous corporate success, moved to Nashville and started a successful smoothie business that he named 9-fruits after the 9 character traits the Apostle Paul lists in Galatians 5:22. The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Dan Banks is the founder of 9-fruits. We are going to talk about his family and his incredible journey and miracle healing.   For Further Insight: Website: Nine Fruits Book: The First Hour for Men
