Americans can’t seem to catch a break. Just as gas prices looked like they were about to come down, China announced it was suspending gas exports “until further notice,” pushing the price of oil per barrel higher. Glenn and Jason discuss why China would decide to do this now and when Americans might finally see some relief. Could a recently utilized drug be used in kids with autism to help with their symptoms? Glenn reviews a recent study where a young boy with autism showed drastic improvement after being accepted into the program. Glenn explains that younger generations have no heroes to look up to because society has torn them all down. Glenn reacts to the latest attempt to keep women from having children, this time claiming you won’t be attractive once you hit your 50s if you have children. Glenn tells a couple of stories of faith and forgiveness following tragedy. Kristi Rogers, wife of Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers (R), joins to discuss her husband’s chances as he’s battling to beat his radical opponent, Abdul El-Sayed (D). Glenn speaks with Léa Martin, who moved to America from France in 2023 and authored the book "Dear Land of the Free," about what she finds fascinating about living in America.
