The Elsa Kurt Show

Gunfire at one of Washington’s most scripted nights jolts everything into the real world. We start with the White House Correspondents Dinner security scare, what we know about the suspect, and the bigger question nobody can dodge: how much does political rhetoric and media framing contribute to the temperature that makes violence feel “justified” to unstable people? From there, we get into the me...

A cancer epidemiologist walks into the Australian outback, builds a field camp at 22, and accidentally sparks a small-town “cookie war” between two rival grandmothers. That’s the tone of this conversation with Dr. Christopher Loffredo of Georgetown University, whose new book Globe Trotting for Science blends global fieldwork stories with the real stakes of cancer prevention and public health resea...

We track how fast today’s headlines move while the deeper patterns stay stubbornly the same, from Iran’s stalled negotiations and Strait of Hormuz tensions to US politics and media double standards. We also weigh what accountability looks like when officials resign, narratives spin, and public safety risks keep bleeding into everyday life. • IRGC isolating Iran’s top leadership and collapsing nego...

Some people live through change. Cordell J. Overgaard tracked it, worked inside it, and then sat down to tell the truth about what it did to law, media, politics, and everyday life. We talk about his memoir, Watching Things Change, and why it started as a message to his grandchildren before widening into a frank look at American systems. Cordell shares why Citizens United still matters, how campai...

A single week manages to hit every nerve: faith and war, social media spectacle, nuclear brinkmanship, and institutions that feel like they’re losing the plot. We start with the clash between Pope Leo and President Trump over Iran, including the moral claims being made about war and peace and the very modern problem of a viral AI image becoming part of the geopolitical conversation. We’re not inte...

Some stories don’t just describe a life, they explain why it never felt like the surface version was the whole truth. I’m joined by Tulsi C, author of Reconnaissance Behind the Veil, for a candid conversation about grief, trauma, and the moment a near-death experience reshaped how she understood purpose, healing, and identity. Tulsi shares her path from earning an MS in computer science and workin...

Some stories start as a plan. Others start as a punch to the chest. My guest’s journey is both: she went from joining the military to earn the GI Bill, to teaching, to becoming a principal, and eventually building an alternate school in rural Texas for students who are behind on credits but still deserve a real path to a diploma. We talk about what’s changed for kids over the last decade, why anxi...

A lot of people talk about “chasing the dream.” Michelle Morris actually did it, and the road there runs through the White House, presidential campaigns, global corporate communications, and a moment that changes everything: a deathbed promise to finally write the books she’d carried since childhood. I loved this conversation because it’s equal parts craft talk and life talk, with the kind of hone...

We break down a week of headlines that test trust in government, the press, and public character, from DHS leadership drama to a failed bombing in New York City. Along the way, we call out spin, ask what investigators should really be looking at, and share practical advice for travelers staring down brutal TSA lines.  • Kristi Noem’s DHS removal and what “fired” really means  • Markwayne Mullin’s...

We press into why chronic disease grows as technology advances and how misaligned incentives in food, insurance, and medicine keep people sick. Jeff Hays shares what MAHA Uncensored uncovers, from SSRIs and PBMs to school lunch reform and simple habits that rebuild real health. • profit incentives driving sick-care over health • PBMs and insurance shaping drug prices • processed food, seed oils, a...

Looking for a faith that feels like home rather than a test you keep failing? We welcome author Tamara Woldridge to unpack her new guided study, Discover Your Amazing God, and the legacy of her late mother whose passion for the names of God shaped this work. What unfolds is a candid, warm journey from religious performance to covenant relationship—a shift that reframes how we see Scripture, oursel...

We pull apart the week’s biggest stories, from a marathon State of the Union and collapsing decorum to a cartel takedown that rattles Mexico and a rough week for New York’s streets and snow plan. We end on Olympic joy and a lively comment we couldn’t ignore. • applause-driven State of the Union optics over policy • honors for veterans and service members amid partisan framing • call for restored d...

What if peace, power, joy, and authority weren’t future promises but present realities you can live today? We sat down with author and discipler Jenny Sierra to unpack a bold, practical vision of our inheritance in Christ—one that doesn’t wait for heaven but transforms ordinary days right now. Jenny traces how a simple pattern in Scripture—verses about inheritance appearing everywhere—grew from a...

We challenge the noise around voter ID, stack Munich’s substance against its theater, and unpack why a casual soccer stat lit up our comments with 4M views. We press for accountability—from ballot rules to budgets to long-stalled investigations—and keep receipts handy. • What the SAVE Act changes and why it matters • Why ID arguments about married women and minorities miss the mark • How verificat...

What if the most important thing about Jesus isn’t where he walked, but what he awakened? We sit down with author and pastor Robert Ochs to follow a forty-year trail from carpentry and sea training to ancient libraries and pulpits, tracing how a life of work, service, and study led him to reexamine the nature of Christ. Along the way, Robert reveals the moments that cracked open his curiosity—a gi...

Congress lurches through a partial shutdown while ICE funding, body cams, and the Save Act fuel a deeper fight over law, legitimacy, and public trust. We track youth walkouts, the Epstein file shock, Iran’s threats, and a Grammys night that preached more than it performed. • partial shutdown mechanics and what actually closed • Save Act pressure, cross-party votes, voter ID polling • ICE reforms,...
