Rick Santorum: Fighting for Life as a Catholic in the US Senate
About this episode
'The truth is on our side’ — Rick Santorum doesn’t hold back. In this hard-hitting conversation, the former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate delivers an unflinching defense of the unborn, exposes the abortion industry’s dehumanization tactics, and calls for America’s moral revival. He reflects on his experiences in Congress, advocating for traditional values, limited government, and the importance of marriage and family. Conor asks Santorum about the many shortcomings of the cultural and political landscape, with the dehumanization tactics used by the abortion industry and the erosion of American history and values at the top of the list. The discussion also touches on economic concerns, the role of government, and the need for a return to foundational principles highlighted by the significance of faith and reason in shaping a moral society.
