Feeling overwhelmed by politics, culture, and faith?

Tired of being expected to have strong opinions on complex issues without anyone actually slowing down to explain them?

In this episode, Jackie shared why A Girl and Her Dad exists and what this conservative podcast is really about. From feeling unfulfilled in a “dream” corporate job to being called toward something deeper, Jackie explains the heart behind these conversations. Honest questions, thoughtful political commentary, and clearer thinking grounded in faith and philosophy in the middle of a very noisy world.

This show is rooted in a conservative worldview and shaped by faith and politics, but it is not about outrage, performance politics, or pretending to be perfect. It is about truth, conviction, empathy, and understanding. This Catholic podcast also explores conservative culture, philosophy and politics, and the internal debates within the conservative movement itself with the goal of clarity over chaos.

If you are looking for a faith and politics podcast that values reason over rage and clarity over outrage, this episode is the place to start.

In this first-ever video episode of A Girl and Her Dad, we examine one of the most divisive controversies in conservative media today: Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, and the rise of conspiracy culture within the right.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens has accused the FBI, Turning Point USA leadership, domestic and foreign governments, and even Charlie's closest allies of complicity, often without presenting verifiable evidence. What began as skepticism has, for many, turned into suspicion, division, and chaos.

This episode is not about silencing questions and it is not a blind defense of any institution. It is a call for discernment. From a philosophical, Catholic, and conservative perspective, we explore where legitimate inquiry ends, where conspiracy begins, and why moral responsibility matters when millions of people are listening.

We discuss how gossip-driven politics affects Gen Z, how grief can be exploited for content, and why tearing down a movement from within carries real consequences for faith, culture, and the future of conservatism.

Key Questions & Themes:

• Why Candace Owens has become one of the most polarizing figures in the MAGA movement
• How the assassination of Charlie Kirk intensified existing fractures in conservative media
• Where critique ends and conspiracy begins in political discourse
• The moral and ethical responsibility of influencers when shaping public perception
• How gossip-driven narratives affect unity within political movements
• The role of discernment and critical thinking in navigating controversial claims
• A philosophical and Catholic perspective on truth, charity, and moral accountability in public debate
• Questions surrounding the motive, influence, and incentives in Candace Owens' media system

If you believe the conservative movement is strongest when it's grounded in truth, charity, and clarity; this conversation is for you.

Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for a new episode next week.

In this episode of A Girl and Her Dad, Jackie (your Gen Z host) and Marty (your boomer dad host) dig into one of the most explosive issues in America today: deportations, illegal immigration, political hypocrisy, and what the Catholic Church gets wrong.

With Trump back in office and ICE enforcement ramping up, the country is divided. The media is outraged. Protestors are blocking raids. Catholic Bishops are speaking out. But what's actually true, and what's just narrative?

Jackie brings the Gen Z perspective, headlines, and rapid-fire questions, while Marty breaks down the political reality, Catholic doctrine, economic incentives, cultural consequences, and the moral debate behind immigration policy. Together, they tackle the questions most people are afraid to ask out loud.

In this episode we cover:

• Why deportations are happening, and why the media is melting down
• How NGOs and government dollars benefit from blocking removals
• What Catholic doctrine actually says about immigration (vs. what Bishops are preaching)
• Obama being the president who had the most deportations in presidency history
• Are deportations immoral or necessary for the common good?
• The sympathetic illegal immigrant argument ("Nice Nancy")
• How Western Europe became the warning sign America is ignoring
• The truth about crime, culture, clashes, and national security concerns.
• Breaking recent news: Candace Owens vs. Turning Point USA, Pentagon tension, the "seditious six," and Minnesota Somali tax dollar scam with Tim Walz
• Why Gen Z is more concerned about illegal immigration than people think.

This conversation is unfiltered, unscripted, and unapologetically honest; blending politics, faith, philosophy, culture, and humor in a way you won't hear anywhere else.
