The Daily Signal - Best of 2023: ’Tucker,’ the Biography by Chadwick Moore

Between Christmas and New Years, The Daily Signal is looking back at the most popular interviews from the year. Enjoy episode three of our "Best of 2023" series!


Chadwick Moore appeared on the final episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on that fateful night in April, just days before Fox News abruptly canceled the show April 24. Carlson and Moore didn’t know it would their last time on Fox News, but it makes Moore’s biography of Carlson all the most interesting—and fortuitous.


Moore is the author of “Tucker,” a biography that’s available for pre-order ahead of its Aug. 1 publication by All Seasons Press.


Long before taping that interview with Carlson, Moore began work on his biography. It tells the story of the former CNN and MSNBC host who anchored the top-rated primetime show on Fox News for seven years.


But the book is about more than Carlson’s TV career. Moore spoke to The Daily Signal about the hundreds of hours he spent interviewing Carlson and others who have influenced his life.

The Daily Signal - Best of 2023: Dr. Aaron Kheriaty on How Governments Abused COVID-19 to Gain Power

Between Christmas and New Years, The Daily Signal is looking back at the most popular interviews from the year. Enjoy episode two of our "Best of 2023" series!


Many COVID-19 restrictions and mandates have been rolled back, but the infrastructure remains in place, “ready and waiting for the next declared public health crisis,” Dr. Aaron Kheriaty says. 


Kheriaty, a psychiatrist who directs the Bioethics and American Democracy program at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, chose to speak out against the COVID-19 vaccine mandates, That decision cost him his job at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine.


Kheriaty says he is concerned that the "pretext of public health and safety has proven to be a good fulcrum, a good lever to get people to do things that otherwise they would be very reluctant to do."

"It's also been an occasion for the accumulation of power, mostly by the executive branch of government," he says.


In his new book "The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State,” Kheriaty details the ways in which governments past and present have used public health crises to gain power.


Kheriaty joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how, unless placed in check, the government will use public health orders to further its own agenda, whether about COVID-19, climate change, or abortion.

“Social media introduced this idea that I could be a boy,” Chloe Cole says.

At 16, she detransitioned


“I decided to stop transitioning entirely,” Cole says. “It was too much for me, and I knew that I couldn't keep lying to myself.”

The Daily Signal - History of Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’

In many homes across the country, it’s not Christmas without sitting down to watch an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol." But according to Hillsdale College professor of English Dwight Lindley, many of the film versions fail to relay the full, rich message Dickens sought to portray in the 1843 novel. 


“A Christmas Carol” is “actually about the incarnation of Christ,” Lindley says. Dickens, according to Lindley, takes Scrooge on a journey of becoming more childlike so that he can come to a place “where he can meet God.” 


The story intends to call to mind the biblical passage in Mark 9 that says, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me, but the one who sent me.” 


Lindley explains that the invitation in the novel is for Scrooge to receive Tiny Tim, and in so doing, receive Christ. 


Lindley joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the history of why Dickens wrote the novel, and the rich biblical themes woven through “A Christmas Carol.”

The Daily Signal - Pro-Life Home Serves Mothers Who Are ‘Alone in the World’

Home. For all of us, the word brings images to mind. Home is meant to be a place of comfort and safety, but for some women facing unplanned pregnancies, this isn't the case. And that's why St. Gianna and Pietro Molla Home in Warsaw, North Dakota, exists. 


“There are so many people who really are alone in the world who might not, in North Dakota, be on the streets homeless, but maybe they're living coach the coach,” says Mary Pat Jahner, director of the North Dakota home. “Maybe they have family, but ... there would not be a means for gas money to [go to] an appointment or to get a car seat or things like that. So, you know, those are the people that we serve, the people who are alone in the world,” Jahner, founder of the St. Gianna and Pietro Molla Home, explains. 


For 20 years, the large residence has provided expectant and new mothers with a place not only to find safety and provision, but also community and the love of Christ during and after their pregnancies


“We live as a family,” Jahner says of the home for mothers. “We just have a few moms at a time and give them as much love during their time here as we can.” 


Jahner joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share the mission of the St. Gianna and Pietro Molla Home, as well as stories of the women who have found refuge at the home over the years.

The Daily Signal - This Israeli Community Experienced a Miracle on Oct. 7

The agricultural Israeli community of Ein HaBesor experienced a miracle on Oct. 7.


Located just 3 miles from the border with Gaza and home to 320 families, the people of Ein HaBesor were targeted by Hamas terrorists just like so many other communities along the border that day. But miraculously, not a single person from Ein HaBesor was killed or taken hostage. 


The community had shortly beforehand activated its security team after some theft, which unknowingly prepared them for the events on Oct. 7, as they successfully fought off the terrorists

But the people of Ein HaBesor have been evacuated from their homes because the community is in a war zone. About 60% of Israel's produce comes from the region, and without hands to care for and harvest the crops, all of Israel stands to be affected. 


CityServe International, a nonprofit aid organization, is stepping in to help Ein HaBesor in an effort to ensure that more than half of Israel’s produce is not lost, and is inviting churches across America to join its efforts. 


“Most people going to Israel that are of the Christian faith, they go there to take from Israel,” says Todd Lamphere, vice president of government relations at CityServe. “I don't mean that in a bad way. I just simply mean that they're there to look at the sites, to see where Jesus died, where He was buried, where He was baptized, to get baptized in the Jordan, to do all of those things.”


“What we're saying is, let's continue to do those, but let's take three or four or five days, and let's go to the fields, and let's serve the nation of Israel by helping them harvest their crops,” he said. 


Lamphere joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Americans can either join a trip to Israel to help harvest crops, or can be a part of partnering with the organization as it seeks to meet the needs of the Jewish people at this time.
