Jack Carr joins Raymond Arroyo to discuss his explosive new thriller The Fourth Option, revealing the Western inspirations behind the story, why he chose New Orleans as the backdrop for corruption and revenge, and how the book introduces a very different kind of hero from James Reece in The Terminal List universe.

Carr also weighs in on the growing conflict with Iran, what America’s enemies learned from Afghanistan, and why he believes the U.S. must define victory clearly. Plus, the former Navy SEAL commander opens up about faith, storytelling, military culture, and why fiction still matters in a distracted digital age.

Pope Leo’s first encyclical has arrived - and it’s taking direct aim at Artificial Intelligence, government power, war, and the future of humanity. Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal unpack the Vatican’s massive new document and debate whether the Church is offering moral clarity on AI - or embracing a technocratic vision shaped by global governance, regulation, and social engineering.

The Posse examines Pope Leo’s warnings about monopolies, surveillance, AI warfare, job loss, and “human dignity” - while also questioning the document’s treatment of sin, just war theory, Church authority, and the mission of Christianity itself. Is AI the new Industrial Revolution? Who should control it? And does this encyclical mark continuity with Pope Francis - or something entirely new?

Is Catholicism dying in America - or making a comeback? On this week’s Prayerful Posse, Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal unpack the surprising “Catholic moment” emerging amid declining Mass attendance, baptisms, and Catholic weddings.

The Posse explores why young converts are flocking to tradition, Latin Mass, beauty, ritual, and Church history in an increasingly empty digital culture. They also discuss Richard John Neuhaus, Mother Angelica, Catholic influence in politics and public life, and why the Church may be uniquely equipped to answer modern spiritual hunger.

Is this the collapse of cultural Catholicism - or the beginning of something deeper?
