It's Memorial Day and Mike and Luke spend time discussing why every American should be proud to be an American, what unites us all and the importance of loving one's country.

The guys try out a new segment, What Are You Reading, where they spend five minutes each sharing their takeaways from this past week's reading. Mike's current book is When a Nation Forgets by Erwin Lutzer and Luke's is You'll Get Through This by Max Lucado.

This week's talk revolves around the increasingly common idea that Jesus would be a socialist. The guys address the common Bible verses socialists use to defend this belief and explain how these verses are misinterpreted. Mike and Luke explain how Jesus and the Bible support private property, self-charity, and self-responsibility, all of which are contrary to the ideology of socialism.
