President's Day - History with Bill Federer of The American Minute

George Washington was born on February 22nd. Americans wanting to celebrate his legacy and memory sought to have a specific day on the calendar to celebrate George Washington. Later, Abraham Lincoln was added, as his birthday was February 12th. In 1971, The Uniform Monday Holiday Act, moved it to a Monday in February for All President's Day. Tune in and listen as Bill Federer gives the history of the man we know as our first President, George Washington, and our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, who saved the Union and ended slavery.

Don Lemon arrested by the FBI in the Cities Church Attack in St. Paul

A grand jury has indicted former CNN host Don Lemon in the Cities Church St. Paul protest attack. Federal authorities arrested Don Lemon last night at his hotel in Los Angeles. The Justice Department had been turned down by a federal judge for additional arrests in the Cities Church protest attack, but a grand jury has issued indictments for Mr. Don Lemon and three other co-defendants, bringing the total number of arrests of participants in the Cities Church protest attack to seven. Joining me to discuss the charges through the FACE Act is pro-life activist Mark Harrington, President of Created Equal. We discuss the climate on college campuses and universities in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Conservative student groups are repositioning themselves to engage on the issues with their fellow students as they are confronted with a new climate of fear and potential violence.
