Rapper Nick Cannon Guest on NPLAC’s Face the Truth Radio Show This Saturday
Cannon Tells Profound True Story that Inspired Hit Single, ‘Can I Live?’ and Addresses Any Potential Future Role in the Pro-Life Movement
Washington, D.C.— The National Pro-Life Action Center (NPLAC)—the uncompromising voice of pro-life America on Capitol Hill—will have actor, comedian and musician Nick Cannon as the latest guest on its new nationally syndicated radio show, Face the Truth—Coast-to-Coast with Steve Peroutka.
“You can’t help but be moved by Nick’s story and the visual narrative his music video provides,” stated host Steve Peroutka, who is also chairman of NPLAC and a Maryland attorney. During the interview—which airs Saturday, August 20, 2005, at 11:30 a.m. on XM Satellite Radio channel 170—Peroutka pointed out that the lives of many babies have been saved because of Nick’s hit song and video, “Can I Live?” Obviously moved by this powerful reality, Cannon responded: “That’s amazing. Yeah, to really think about that, regardless of…it really doesn’t matter how many records I sell or anything. There are actually people coming to this earth because of [my] song.”
Cannon also discussed the reasons why he felt compelled to make this video, if he was prepared for the reaction—positive and negative—that he has received to “Can I Live?,” and if he ever sees himself taking a leading role in the pro-life movement.
“Nick Cannon epitomizes why every human life is sacred and must be protected from the moment of conception. As he describes it, he is here today because of his mother’s ‘courage.’ And the world has benefited and been impacted because of that courage,” observed Peroutka. “But Nick is only one story out of over 40 million. Right now someone is pregnant with a future president of the United States, someone is pregnant with the person who will cure cancer. As a people, we must have the courage to say yes when these children ask ‘Can I Live?’”
Cannon revealed during the interview that his perspective was greatly influenced by his grandmother, who has been a foster parent for over 20 years and cared for many children in crisis situations. He also said that his foundation—the Nick Cannon Foundation—is compiling a book of testimonies and letters from people who have benefited by his song and video.
Face the Truth—Coast to Coast with Steve Peroutka is heard every Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. on XM Satellite Radio Family Channel 170. Additionally, NPLAC sponsors several other shows hosted by Steve Peroutka: Face the Truth Radio vignette show (WAVA FM 105.1-Washington, D.C.; WNAV AM 1430-Annapolis, Md.; WITH AM 1230-Baltimore, Md.; WBTK AM 1380-Richmond, Va.), The Veritas Hour (WCBM AM 680-Baltimore, Md.), and Face the Truth TV (nationally syndicated cable TV program).
