Episode 107 opens with a hard look at the Democratic Party’s accelerating shift toward socialism — driven by Zohran Mamdani’s New York City victory and a platform built on wealth taxes, expanded government control, and deep structural overhaul — despite blunt warnings from Trump, Vance, Manchin, and other national figures. The hosts trace the causes behind this surge and argue that the movement threatens the American Dream by replacing merit and opportunity with rationing, envy, and bureaucratic power.  The hour then turns to Steve & Dr. Kathy Boyls, authors of I’VE BEEN TO HEAVEN, who share their extraordinary story and the insights that shaped their new book. Together, they bring a powerful, personal perspective that shifts the conversation from politics to faith, hope, and lived experience.
