4:20 – St. Maximilian Kolbe and Religious Liberty in This
Year of Faith
Maximilian: Saint of Auschwitz is the professional live
production that tells the dramatic story of one man who stood up to the evil
forces of Nazism, holds a powerfully relevant message for our culture,
at a time when religious freedom and values are under attack. To promote the
defense of religious freedom by highlighting the very sacrifice of Kolbe’s life,
Maximilian: Saint of Auschwitz was performed for the Fortnight for
Freedom in Phoenix, Arizona and has since successfully toured across the United
States. The production is now being presented at many locations as a perfect
complement for the Year of Faith, as declared by Benedict VXI. The creator and
actor of this one-man-drama, Leonardo
DeFilippis, joins us.
4:40 – Ninth Abortion Center Closed, Or Kept From Opening, In
MI In The Last 18 Months
The American Family Planning abortion-center, owned
and operated by 73-year-old Korean-born abortionist, Noon-Nahm Ann—open for
over 20 years— has closed its doors forever. The clinic’s last day was Friday
April 12, 2013. The closing of AFP marks the 6th abortion center to close
its doors in Michigan since last September 2012 and the 9th abortion center to
close, or be kept from opening in Michigan in the last 18 months! In
addition, the retirement of Ann means that 3 major Michigan abortionists have
retired this year—namely the notorious Alberto Hodari, as well as Enrique
Gerbi. Monica Miller of
Citizens for a Pro-Life Society joins us to discuss this extraordinary news.

5:20 – When Tragedy Strikes, Remember Who You Are
Whether we are reacting
to the headlines out of Boston or dealing with personal tragedies, it is easy
to forget who we are when we go through difficult times. Instead of thinking
and acting like the sons and daughters of God that we are, we can become petty,
spiteful, isolating, self-pitying and even vengeful. It was this impulse
Pope Francis was challenging when he reminded all of us in his message to the
people of Boston to ‘resolve to not be overcome by evil, but to combat evil by
doing good.” We talk to Dr. Greg
Popcak about this as well as how to talk to your children about violent
tragedies.
5:40 – Are Falling Gold Prices A
GOOD Thing?
In the last few days gold has plunged so deep that it’s being called the
worst drop — at least in percentage terms — in 30 years. That brings us back to
the early Reagan period, when falling gold was regarded as a good thing.
Back then, lower gold showed inflation coming down after the horrible 1970s. It
also showed confidence in the economy recovering and greater respect for the
dollar. Over the next two decades, in the ’80s and ’90s, gold basically dropped
in round numbers from $800 an ounce all the way to $250. Stocks soared. So did
jobs and the economy. But markets have reacted a bit differently this time. On
Monday, stocks fell over 200 points in tandem with gold’s $150 drop. What
should we make of this? Investment analyst George
Schwartz is here.
