Mike Hanson recounts his decision to leave his church after leadership refused to hold a prayer service for the Branch Davidians killed in Waco.

Senate Bill SR 1594, introduced during the 105th Congress by Senator Bennett, is identified as legislation that would authorize the use of fingerprints, retina scans, and embedded microchips for electronic signatures.

Thibodeau discusses a letter from Ruth Mosher, Carrie Jewell's grandmother, which was sent to Congress to dispute Jewell's claims.
