Kira interviews Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter John Ondrasik (“Superman”, “It’s Not Easy) about his latest single in support of Israel. Faith, family, culture and Glam Rock…no topic is off limits on JLTY and John met the bar. “Clearly, the causes of the moral decline on our campuses, in our culture, and institutions have been growing and metastasizing for decades. An inability to clearly call out the horrors of Hamas’ terrorist atrocities is not the root of the problem; it is the symptom of a deeper decay. We can look away no longer. Evil is on the march and wears many faces.
This is a time for choosing.”
