Dr. Joseph Birli, President and CEO of Bethany Children’s Home and author of From Prostitute to President, opens the show with his remarkable personal story of resilience. He explains how child human trafficking is defined, the warning signs families need to watch for, which young people are most at risk, and how government systems are addressing this crisis. His journey—from surviving exploitation to becoming a national advocate for healing—is a strong reminder that recovery and purpose are possible.
Later, Ryan Morgan of The Epoch Times breaks down urgent global news. He covers the proposed $1.5 trillion U.S. military budget—described by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as a “message to the world”—and what it could mean for national defense and global security. Morgan also reports on Trump’s meeting with Mexico’s president about border security and drug trafficking, ICE-related tensions in Minneapolis that pushed the SBA to relocate an office, and international reactions to Trump’s comments about acquiring Greenland.
The episode wraps with a fascinating look at mental health and stress, inspired by psychologist Kelly McGonigal. Instead of treating stress as the enemy, the discussion explains how reframing stress can build resilience, increase performance, and even support long-term health.
From survival and healing, to defense and diplomacy, to personal mindset and growth—this episode offers both courage and clarity, and it’s the kind of conversation that keeps viewers coming back to BEK TV.
