Over 100,000 Americans die each year from opioid overdoses. One of them was 21-year-old Garrett Holman.

His father, Don Holman, has worked ceaselessly to educate the public about the scourge of opioids and how they affected his family.

"This tragedy ripped our family apart," Holman says. "At this point in time, after losing my son, no matter what I accomplish or what I do, I don't feel like I'll ever win."

"I can lose less if I can do something," he says. "It may be talking to you today, it may be testifying in front of Congress. It may be talking to my Uber driver on the way home and [finding] out that they have a child going through something, and I can share just something to encourage them or give them some guidance."

Holman joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to share his family's story and tell you how you can help if someone in your life suffers from an opioid addiction.

• In a video address to Congress, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeals for more U.S. aid.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave a speech in front of Congress today. Zelenskyy urged America to continue supporting Ukraine as Russian forces march their way through the country.

Heritage Foundation Research Associate for Russia and Eurasia Alexis Mrachek joins this bonus episode of The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss what a no-fly zone would entail, as well as dissect the rest of Zelenskyy’s speech.

“The sooner you hop on, the better,” Biddl3 says.

In this episode of “New Money,” hosts Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay are joined by recording artists Biddl3, actress GG Townson and producer Carey. The three explain their corners of the entertainment world, contributing their unique views on the challenges of the industry. 

The guests see social media as a powerful tool to advance their careers and reach worldwide audiences. They aren’t afraid of new technologies, either: Biddl3 believes that those who “are ahead of the curve, or are quick to adapt, are the ones who succeed” when it comes to the rapidly advancing tech of communication in the modern era of social media.

If these three recognize the utility and power of social media for their professions, will they be equally accepting of the advancements that crypto and blockchain technology can provide to fan-creator relationships?

China appears content to let the carnage continue in Ukraine, anticipating a win for Vladimir Putin. Its real concern is avoiding an apparent win for America and the West. Never mind fears that cryptocurrencies might help Russia dodge sanctions: they are far better at helping to finance Ukraine’s efforts. And the cyborg cockroaches that may one day aid search-and-rescue operations.

In the darkest of times, we are tempted to give in to despair. For those living in war-torn Ukraine, the temptation must be enormous.

But all around the world, people are seeing images of hope and faith amid Ukraine's gloom. In basements, rubble-strewn streets, and underground rail stations, the Ukrainian people are coming together.

Pastor Andrew Moroz, an American, was born in Ukraine and has many relatives there. He says he understands the desire to keep up hope.

"Life in some ways has to go on in the midst of a war zone," Moroz says.

"There are some things that are normal and there are many things that are not normal that are happening right now, but people are continuing to pursue each other and pursue God in some way."

Moroz joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how Ukrainians are resisting the urge to give up, and how faith there is stronger than ever.

We also cover these stories:

• The Russian Foreign Ministry announces sanctions against U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and President Joe Biden, among others.
• Sarah Bloom Raskin withdraws her candidacy for vice chairman of the Federal Reserve.
• The Idaho House votes 51-14 to pass a bill allowing family members to sue medical professionals who abort a baby after six weeks.
