This week, Debi was joined by Yonni Simion, a local business owner.

Yonni grew up under Communism behind the Iron Curtain in Romania, before the fall of the Soviet Union. Yonni and Debi talk about what life was like under Communism where the government controls literally every aspect of life including how much money you make, how much food you have, and whether or not you are allowed to go to church.

Yonni talks about ultimately sacrificing his position, his career, all of his possessions, and even unexpectedly losing his wife and young daughter in order to pursue freedom in America as a political refugee. Yonni and Debi talk about the unique opportunities found only in America to begin with absolutely nothing and be able to work your way up to owning a business and giving back to others.

They also discuss the issue of young people in America who are fascinated with the idea of Communism and Marxism without fully understanding how evil il truly it is.

This week, Debi and Alison are joined by special guest Dr. Anthony Levatino, an OB/GYN and professor at a medical school in New Mexico.

In this extended episode, Debi and Alison talk with Dr Levatino who has had years of experience in caring for pregnant women, including many high-risk pregnancies. Dr Levatino committed over 1200 abortions in his career, including many late-term abortions. He was among the first doctors in the country to perform D & E abortions (dilation and evacuation). This procedure is currently the most common second-trimester abortion procedure. In this interview, Dr. Levatino explains that procedure. He also explains why he first quit performing second-trimester abortions and then quit performing abortions completely.

Dr Levatino also talks with Debi and Alison about common health complications later in pregnancy and why an abortion is not the safest course of action. They also discuss current Arizona law and how Prop 139, if passed would put women and girls at great risk.

This week, Debi and Alison are joined by special guest Dr. Loreena Ryder, a naturopathic doctor.

The issue of hormone imbalances and exposure to toxins affects all of us, male and female, young and old.

Today, we are living longer than we were hundreds of years ago but what is the quality of our health? We are being prescribed a multitude of pharmaceuticals without ever looking at our general health, our diet, or the underlying causes of chronic conditions. God intricately designed our bodies to function in harmony and to have an amazing capacity to heal itself. However, in our modern world we are exposed to so many toxic chemicals, synthetic hormones, hormone disruptors and microplastics that our bodies cannot properly function. We have seen a rise in chronic illnesses and a rise in fertility issues. In this episode, Dr. Ryder talks with Alison and Debi about the effects of things like toxins, hormone disruptors and processed foods on our health. She talks about ways that we can be better informed and empowered to get to the root of our health issues in order to feel better and take fewer medications.

This week, Debi and Alison are joined by special guest Christy Narsi, the National Chapter Director of Independent Women's Network

The issue of men being allowed to compete in women's sports has been front and center in the news. However, the redefinition of sex to include gender identity in Title IX and in state and federal government has a far-reaching impact. Christy, Debi, and Alison discuss the dangers that this radical ideological shift poses to girls and women in sports, schools, clubs, dorms, and prisons, and how it affects the most vulnerable women in domestic violence shelters and human trafficking rescue programs. These changes also put young men on college campuses at serious risk as well. We hope you enjoy this informationally packed and thought-provoking episode.
