Washington, D.C., Surreptitious Recording ‘Scandal’: Justice Alito Caught Saying Godliness is Good

June 13, 2024

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer talks about Associate Justice Samuel Alito's surreptitious recording 'scandal,' where a leftwing activist posing as a Christian conservative, secretly recorded him at a recent Supreme Court gala. What was this “scandalous” thing Justice Alito said? In the recording, the Justice agrees that the country would be well-served if it returned to a place of "godliness." If this wasn't bad enough, the reporter “caught” Mrs. Alito saying that she "relies on God"…that "God is her rock"…and because of that, she "isn't afraid of anything." Ladies and gentlemen, this is what the neo-Marxists in the Democratic Party believe is a "threat to our democracy." Listen to the podcast to hear Bauer's detailed take on this ridiculously feigned outrage.

‘Rigged’ Trump New York City Trial Gets Desired Convictions, Despite Prosecution Identifying No Crime

June 6, 2024

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer discusses what he calls the "obviously rigged" Trump non-disclosure agreement trial in New York City that convicted former president Trump of 34 felonies. Bauer describes what happened in this trial as being much more significant than Trump, with far-reaching ramifications that should be terrifying to all Americans. Bauer states that a week following the verdict, Trump's attorneys say they can find no specific identifiable crime in the indictment or judgment, and most fair-minded current and former prosecutors and defense attorneys agree. "This is the kind of lawless action one would see in an authoritarian dictatorship, not in the United States of America," says Bauer. Don't miss this enlightening and explosive episode.

As a reminder, Title IX was passed by Congress in 1972 to prohibit sex discrimination in federally funded educational programs, including sports. When the law was passed, everyone understood what "sex" and "gender" meant. And for 50 years, Title IX has protected girls and young women.
