Federalist Radio Hour - ‘The Kylee Cast’ feat. Leigh Fitzpatrick Snead, Ep. 25: When God Calls You To Parenthood But Not Pregnancy

On this episode of "The Kylee Cast," Leigh Fitzpatrick Snead, a fellow at The Catholic Association and author of the new book "Infertile But Fruitful," joins Federalist Managing Editor Kylee Griswold to share her story of infertility, her bad experience with IVF doctors, her journey to adoption, and her life of faith and joy — because infertile doesn't have to mean unfruitful.

Global News Podcast - Trump launches Board of Peace

Donald Trump has presided over a signing ceremony inaugurating his Board of Peace. Speaking in Davos, he expressed his belief that it'll help forge what he called a "glorious and 'everlasting" peace for the Middle East and the wider world. Nearly twenty other dignitaries have signed the agreement. Mr Trump said the board would work in conjunction with the United Nations. Critics say it is designed to replace some of the UN's functions. Also: Denmark's prime minister has insisted her country's territorial integrity must be respected, a day after President Trump said a possible deal on Greenland will achieve everything he wants. Two people have died and several are feared buried after landslides in New Zealand's North Island. Wildlife rangers in Pakistan have seized eleven lions illegally kept in Lahore after one of the animals escaped and attacked a girl. And the nominations for this year's Oscars are out - with the vampire horror 'Sinners' up for a record sixteen different awards.

Marketplace All-in-One - How would a credit card interest rate cap even work?

President Donald Trump acknowledged yesterday that he'll need help from Congress to cap credit card interest at 10%. He also talked about this at the World Economic Forum; at another Davos venue, JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon said that capping cards would cause "economic disaster." We dig in. Plus, tax breaks from the "Big Beautiful Bill" should boost the economy (temporarily), and boosting Venezuela's oil production could have serious environmental impacts.

Newshour - Trump launches ‘Board of Peace’

US president Donald Trump has launched his Board of Peace - promising a new era of peace for the Middle East and beyond.

The board is part of Trump's 20-point plan to end the Israel-Hamas war. The UK says will not yet be signing up the board over concerns about Russian leader Vladimir Putin's possible participation. We'll ask how it will work -- and get the view of a former top UN official.

Also in the programme: Can President Trump pressure President Zelensky over concessions to Russia?; and we'll have the latest on a landslide in New Zealand.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Make Them Retire?

Today we ask whether a proposal by Rahm Emanuel for a mandatory retirement age for politicians and judges makes sense and whether it might be a populist issue that could really gain traction—along with, maybe, pardon reform. Also, why do people who work at CBS News think their dumpster fire of an organization should be run the way it was being run when it was being run into the ground? Give a listen.
