Saints, Sports, and the SAVE Act • Best 60ish Seconds

In this February 14th Best 60ish Seconds edition, Charlie wishes everyone a Happy Valentine's Day and shares the inspiring history of Saint Valentine, the third-century Christian martyr who secretly married couples during Roman persecution and paid the ultimate price for defending love and faith.

He then shifts to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina, Italy, where competition is in full swing. Charlie highlights the excitement of curling, biathlon, and ice hockey, with Team USA's men's hockey squad taking the ice today (Saturday, February 14) at 3:10 p.m. Eastern against Denmark, seeking another strong performance after their opening win. Staying on sports, he acknowledges last Sunday's Super Bowl but admits he's more excited about pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training with baseball season just around the corner. ​

Charlie then turns to presidential politics and congressional action, noting that the SAVE Act—which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections—passed the House of Representatives this week, though its future in the Senate remains uncertain. He closes by reminding viewers that the season of Lent begins this Wednesday, February 18, with Ash Wednesday.
