Show notes

Rock and Blues Artist with Dynamic Vocals Shines After Single-Chair Turn and Instant Save Second Chance Coach Michael Bublé Goes Undefeated and Takes "Voice" Crown in Back-to-Back Seasons
Adam David, a soulful 35-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was named champion of "The Voice" Season 27.
Guided by coach Michael Bublé, David faced off against a chorus of formidable competitors in the finale, including fellow Team Bublé artist Jadyn Cree, Team Legend's RENZO, Team Adam's Lucia Flores-Wiseman and Team Kelsea's Jaelen Johnston.
In his Blind Audition, David, who shared his inspirational story of battling addiction, earned the attention of Bublé with his bluesy rendition of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way." During the Battle Rounds, he and teammate Ricardo Moreno performed a duet of their coach's own hit song "Home."
Sailing through the Knockout Round, David transformed Allen Stone's "Unaware" with his signature smoky voice. During the playoffs, his earnest and soulful take on Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" won his coach over and advanced him to the live semi-finals.
In the first live show, he performed "Bring It on Home to Me" by Sam Cooke, accompanied by his electric guitar. During the live results show, he didn't immediately advance to the next round and gave his all in a last-chance performance of "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims in the Instant Save. He earned America's vote for the single remaining spot in the finale and made a lasting impression that ultimately took him all the way to victory.
On Monday night's telecast, David continued to impress coaches and viewers with an up-tempo live performance of "Hard Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake & Jelly Roll as well as a stirring down-tempo performance of "You Are So Beautiful" by Joe Cocker.
Before being crowned the winner during tonight's finale, David was joined on stage by coach Michael Bublé for a duet of classic "The Weight" by the Band.
David's presence on the show's social media platforms this season garnered immense popularity. His performances accumulated 7.3 million views across "The Voice" pages on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.
David's musical journey began early with the guitar, later discovering his voice at a performing arts camp, leading him to write songs. His career has taken him from local venues to international corporate events. Along the way, David struggled with addiction but eventually sought help and ultimately found recovery. Now five years clean, he credits music as a steady anchor in his life, helping him process emotions and maintain stability. David is deeply committed to performing at rehabilitation centers each week, using his own experiences and music to inspire others in their recovery. This work has become a cornerstone of his healing, providing purpose and a way to support others through their struggles.
"The Voice" is the #1 most-watched alternative series for the sixth consecutive broadcast season. The recent fall and midseason cycles have reached 46 million viewers across platforms.
"The Voice" Season 28 premieres in September 2025. Michael Bublé will return alongside Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg.
"The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher and Barry Poznick.

Former U-S Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich & Trump’s Triumph: America’s Greatest Comeback May 28, 2025

Show notes

ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH AND TRUMP'S TRIUMPH: AMERICA'S GREATEST COMEBACK
#1 New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers inside the most significant political comeback in American history and explains where the Trump movement goes from here.
Despite a nine-year effort to destroy him, President Donald J. Trump succeeded in a historic comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election. This was Trump's Triumph. Winning the popular and electoral votes, President Trump became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland. This all happened because President Trump was never a typical political candidate. He is the leader of a movement, which he recognized in the American people. To be clear: President Trump did not invent the Make America Great Again movement, he intuited it.Meanwhile, elites in media, academia, government, and politics learned a big lesson: Americans no longer trust them. President Trump assembled a massive coalition of Americans from all backgrounds who were tired of being told what to do, say, and believe. He made historic in-roads with voter groups which have not traditionally voted for Republicans. President Trump survived court cases, impeachments, outright lies - and two assassination attempts. All the while, the elites described a future which every day Americans did not want. The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris (and later Harris-Tim Walz) tickets represented three failures through which the American people were actively suffering: high inflation, a full-blown immigration crisis, and a prevailing elite ideology which they found at best confusing and at worst insane. Trump's Triumph puts all this into context, explains how President Trump overcame it all, and describes the future of the Make America Great Again movement.
ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH
Speaker Newt Gingrich is Chairman of Gingrich 360, a multimedia production and consulting company based in Arlington, Virginia.

He is the author of 43 books, including 18 fiction and nonfiction New York Times bestsellers. His latest books include Defeating Big Government Socialism and March to the Majority.Gingrich and his wife, Ambassador Callista L. Gingrich, host and produce historical and public policy documentaries. Recent films include "Journey to America," "The First American," and "Divine Mercy: The Canonization of John Paul II."

Protecting Women’s Health: A Doctor’s Perspective on Real Care with Ingrid Skop, M.D., FACOG May 22, 2025

Show notes

In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Skop — a board-certified OB/GYN and Vice President of Medical Affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute — to unpack the critical issues surrounding women’s health care. Dr. Skop shares her firsthand medical insight on the realities of abortion procedures, the risks of substandard care, and what women really need when facing unplanned pregnancies.

With compassion and clarity, Dr. Skop sheds light on what true, comprehensive care looks like — and how we can better support women both physically and emotionally.
This is a conversation about facts, not politics. About healing, not headlines. And most of all, about the value of every woman and every life.

Recent News Summary:
Leading up to a major budget vote in Congress, the U.S. House Rules Committee held an intense 21-hour hearing packed with high-profile Democratic leaders — including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Whip Katherine Clark, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi — pushing for amendments that included increased welfare spending without work requirements and continued funding for Planned Parenthood.
One of the central points of contention was the claim that proposed budget cuts represented the “largest cut to health care in American history.” Critics argue that equating abortion with healthcare is misleading and point to serious concerns about Planned Parenthood’s practices.
Reports — including a disturbing exposé from The New York Times — have shed light on troubling conditions in some Planned Parenthood facilities, including botched procedures, leaking sewage, and poor medical oversight. These revelations come amid ongoing scrutiny of the organization’s influence and funding, with statistics showing:
Nearly 400,000 abortions annually performed by Planned Parenthood — about 40% of all abortions in the U.S.
A 97% abortion rate for pregnant women who visit their clinics.
A decline in other services: cancer screenings, pap smears, and contraception services have all dropped sharply.
$2 million per day in taxpayer funding still flows to the organization, despite these declines.
Meanwhile, over 5 women have reportedly died from complications related to abortions performed there.
Critics also highlight that there are over 15 times more community health centers nationwide that provide broader, life-affirming care without performing abortions — offering a more comprehensive and safer option for women in need.
House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to push the bill through by July 4th, saying the time has come to redirect federal resources toward truly compassionate and high-quality women’s healthcare.
