Host of Restoring America with Grace Reilly
Grace Reilly is a Gen Z journalist, podcast host, and conservative commentator from Connecticut. She believes the Christ-centered case for America is the one her generation needs to hear.
She hosts Restoring America with Grace Reilly, co-hosts The Weekend Spectator with Dr. Paul Kengor, and serves as the Joan and Tom Streiff Video Journalist at The American Spectator.
Grace graduated from Grove City College in 2024 after spending two years as a Marketing Fellow at the Institute for Faith and Freedom.

Since then she's been a regular on Fox News, Newsmax, OANN, and more.
Her work gets into the "why" behind conservatism. The reasons it matters, not the talking points.
Faith. Family. Freedom.

June 3rd, 2026 | 23 mins 19 secs
Your rights do not come from Washington. They do not come from Congress, the courts, or the White House. Justice Clarence Thomas made that clear in a powerful lecture at the University of Texas, and it cuts straight to the heart of the question behind Restoring America: what are we actually restoring America to?

May 28th, 2026 | 12 mins 11 secs
In celebration of America's 250th birthday, Rededicate 250 was held on the National Mall to rededicate the nation to God, and critics immediately labeled it "Christian nationalism." But that label is designed to silence Christians, not describe them.

Episode 52: Eric Church's Counter-Cultural Speech Is The Advice We All Need
May 21st, 2026 | 18 mins 44 secs
I wish this speech could play at every graduation in the country this year. And I think even the people who'd push back on parts of it know, somewhere underneath all the noise, that he was right. Because the truth has a certain ring to it. You just know when you hear it.

Episode 49: Postmodernism Declared War on the Good, the True, and the Beautiful
May 15th, 2026 | 14 mins 2 secs
Society used to have standards for beauty, and we walked away from them. Postmodernism told us truth is subjective and anything goes, so we went from Saint Peter's Basilica to strip mall churches, from classical music to profanity-laced pop, from architecture that stopped you in your tracks to buildings that are just boxes.

May 13th, 2026 | 7 mins 28 secs
The 2026 Met Gala pictures made their rounds again this week, and the outfits keep getting harder to look at. How a culture dresses tells you something real about what it believes. What walked that red carpet this year and what Grace Kelly wore to hers are not just different fashion choices. They reflect completely different ideas about beauty, the body, and God.

Episode 47: What Charlie Kirk Taught Us About Why We Fight
May 11th, 2026 | 31 mins 51 secs
Charlie Kirk had a gift that very few people in the Christian conservative movement actually had. So today, I want to go back to Charlie. His own words. The clips I keep returning to, on America's Christian founding, on abortion, on the Sabbath, on marriage and family, and on why we should never stop having hope no matter how dark the world looks.

Episode 44: REACTION: Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
May 4th, 2026 | 17 mins 51 secs
The political and cultural left has spent decades branding themselves as the "party of science" while labeling conservatives as "anti-science." On a recent episode of Jubilee's "Surrounded," health expert Jillian Michaels sat down with 20 body positivity activists to debate multiple claims, one being: "obesity is not healthy, and pretending it is puts lives at risk." I never imagined this would be a controversial claim, given the science and objectivity around the subject as it relates to health. It is not personal or in any way related to a persons worth. It should be fine to have a science based health conversation and all seek health together, no matter what our personal health situation is. However, this turned into a controversial debate, one that points to broader themes and questions in our culture and political environment.

April 30th, 2026 | 21 mins 54 secs
In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually buried in Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, why Representatives Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, and Scott Perry have tried again and again to stop this (and why 57 Republicans crossed the aisle to keep it funded), how Ford, GM, OnStar, and Tesla have already shown us where this road leads, and why we should all be paying attention before 2027 gets here.
