Next month, the Supreme Court will be reviewing a case on birthright citizenship. Two Catholic organizations submitted an amicus brief explaining why those who are born in the US should be allowed to become citizens both from a constitutional framework and based on Catholic social teaching. Anna Gallagher, executive director for the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, joins to discuss the brief. The US-Israeli attack on Iran continued this week with six Americans killed in Kuwait and the Trump administration indicating the war might take longer than Americans expect. Russell Moore and Clarissa Moll talk about the moral hazards of this war. Lastly, professor Alan Noble stops by to discuss the crisis of reading and claims that young men can be saved by good literature.
