Military rescue in Iran, Artemis moon mission, Cane's vs Chick-fil-A, March Madness champs & Masters predictions | Ep. 64
About this episode
This episode covers a military rescue operation in Iran, NASA's Artemis II mission, and various pop culture topics including March Madness and a chicken sandwich debate.
In this week's Brief: The incredible story of the downed American airman in Iran—injured, hunted, and alone for 36 hours behind enemy lines—and the massive rescue operation the U.S. military launched to bring him home. It's one of the most remarkable military stories in years, and it points straight to the parable of the lost sheep. From there, we geek out on NASA's Artemis II mission as four astronauts travel farther from Earth than any humans ever have. We share the powerful Easter message astronaut Victor Glover delivered from space and connect it to the legendary Genesis reading from Apollo 8 in 1968—a reminder that even from the vastness of space, God's creation speaks for itself. Plus, Trump's Iran ceasefire deadline, Pam Bondi fired as Attorney General, March Madness crowns its champions, a spicy hot take on Raising Cane's vs. Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches, and Masters predictions ahead of golf's biggest weekend. Happy Masters, y'all!
